A man wai hot and killed in Omaha a few
weeks ago. Hit amilant lifted the cue from
the ordinary routine by refusing counsel and
pleading his own ciue in court. As result,
, the case became the show of the town for the
time being. Lawyers spoke learnedly of the
criminal's surprising knowledge of the law; men
5 ;f every walk of life debated his shrewdness, his
.courage. No one said mucn as to nis gum or m
ffnocence; the question was whether he or the
5 prosecuting attorney would prove the smarter.
, He got off with a life sentence at the penalty for
" a brutal murder.
, Teople looked upon this case as a game be
tween the prosecutor and an unusually clever
criminal. The people were spectators, not par
ticipants. Yet the people should be participants.
z " Every crime is directed against every law-abiding
citizen, individually. The criminal is
k.iiot merely an antagonist of the officers of the
"s law. He is an enemy of the public and of each
t, individual member of that numerous body. Every
Crime unpunished or inadequately punished con
Jtributes to the time when, as today in Omaha,

The committee vote by which it was dc
termined to report the so-callrd McCuiober
bonus bill to the senate for paiag denote
determination on part of the republican! to deal
with this important piece of Irgiilalion at the
present aetsion. A conference of republ can
senators decided by an all but unanimous vote
to draft and report a new rule for cloture, with
view to ending the otherwise interminable de
bate on the tariff measure. With that out of the
way, the bonus bill cn be brought forward.
, The McCumber bill makes materia! change in
the provisions of the measure pasted by the
house. It provides that cash be paid to any vet
eran whose adjusted claim does not amount to
more than $50. For the others four options are
offered: First, an adjusted service certificate
having a value 3,015 timea the adjusted service
credit, computed at f I per day for domestic and
$1.25 per day for foreign service, payable in 20
yean or at death of the veteran; second, farm or
home purchase aid, on a scale advancing from
100 per cent of service credit if paid within 1924
to 140 par cent if paid in 1928 or thereafter;
third, vocational training aid at the rate of f 1.75
per day, the total not to exceed HO per cent of
the service credit; fourth, land settlement credit,
tinder which the veteran would receive prefer
ence on any lands opened to settlement, with aid
to the extent of 125 per cent of the service credit.
Commander McNider has announced a hands-
off. policy for the American Legion, which leaves
the bonus question with congress. Conditions at
the moment are such as to warrant the belief
that the republicans will redeem the promise
made by Representative Monde!! and others that
a bonus bill will be passed by the present congress.
Empty Debate in Senate.
. Discussion of the tariff bill in the senate has
reached such extremes of demagogery that it is
attracting attention even from democratic news
pipers which are not ''blindly partisan or which
do not feel forced to clutch at every straw to
save some individual political fortune. The
Cleveland Plain Dealer, a democratic newspaper,
offers this merited rebuke to democratic assail
ants of the tariff, mentioning especially Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts:
Soma idea of the depth to which tariff
debate in Washington has fallen can be
gleaned from some figures quoted by Sena
tor Walsh of Massachusetts ft few days ago.
H finds that the probable cost to consumers
of the pending tariff bill will be 117.600.
000,000. Tet the process by which he
reaches his conclusion is more novel than '
sound.
Senator Shortridge of California is au- ,
thorlty for the statement that the proposed
duty on olive oil will coat every person in
the United States, 4 cents a year. Senator
Walsh therefore takes 4 rents as the prob
able cost of the tariff on all the 4.000 itema
in the bill and reaches the startling con- ,
elusion that its total cost will be thexngure
above mentioned.. ,
The only effective rebuttal that the ds-"
fenders of the bill could offer to this pre
posterous contention was that no such result .
was possible since the income of the United '
States in a single year was somewhat less -than
half the figure mentioned as Its prob
able loss from the Fordney bill. The entire
debate thus far has been characterized by
the same emptiness of thought and laek of
Information.
Simple, isn't it? .The tariff bill will cost the
people more money than they've got. To
mathematical minds this couldn't happen, but to
democratic senatorial minds anything may
happen; , ,
Where Was the Courageous Man
"If those men had had a little nerve, we would
have got him."
" ' That is the comment of : a little Lincoln
' woman, referring to her attempt to capture a
dangerous criminal. She was bold enough 'to
seize him, but not strong enough to hold him.
While she struggled with him men looked on,
. and made no move to help her. One or two men
' with courage to assist this plucky woman, and
the "bad man" would again be under lock and
key. No use wasting time discussing mobe
psychology, or any of the other features of the
case, beyond" the fact that the men in sight
lacked the grit to do a worthy service. Mrs.
1 Dingman did not count the cost; she saw a man
. "he knew was being sought by the police, and
' she did her level best to capture him. He finally
" made his escape from crowd of 2,000, where
, two eould have, made his arrest secure. Where
was the courageous man? y
" Negroes and the United States. ,
S', ; Maj; Robert P. Motoh, head of the Tuske
"gee Institute, was among the speakers at the
dedication of the Lincoln Memorial at Washing
ton, and naturally he addressed himself to the
cart Lincoln had in freeing the slaves. On this
point he added nothing to history or critical con
sideration of its course. He did, however, make
: one statement that should be carefully weighed
: by all.
i ; Referring- to the incongruous position the
" negro occupies in the United States, Major
I Moton said that, although the negro had not real
wed fully the opportunity offered him, he had,
: at no time wavered in his patriotic fervor. We
believe this is true, and it is to the everlasting
credit of the American negro that it is true. He
has had many causes to desert his fealty to the
t land of his birth; he has suffered great wrongs
"'with marvelous patience, but he has never as a
'I whole departed from that devotion to the ideals
i "of liberty and freedom that inspired Crispus At-
i, tucks, whose blood was first to flow at Boston m

,' few of the thoughtless among the negroes have
; sought to set themselves up as radical leaders,
j; they are no more than imitating their white
v, brothers, and with little success.

This settling down may Involve many things.
It will require the reduction of unemployment by

It must include an equalizing of opportunity for
labor, which cannot be accomplished by either a
tariff or a ruthless suppression of strikes. While
this big evolution is going on, however, there
needs to be also less ektrsvsgance and ostenta

. Great Things in The Air.
Solitude has its charms sometimes, and its
disadvantages are disappearing one after another
tnrougn tne advance ot invention. (Jn many-
farm and in numerous distant towns the songs
and music of Ak-Sar-Ben's opening night were
heard by radiophone. Concerts, speeches and
sermons, together with market reports, weather
predictions and . news are broadcast daily to
the enjoyment and information of thousands who
otherwise would be out of touch with current
affairs.
Omaha is being linked more closely with its
surrounding territory by the radio station. Banks,
elevators and business houses have installed
apparatus to catch the 'waves and keep in in
stantaneous touch with -the currents of life.
The radiophone has possibilities of a social
nature beyond present estimate. The course of
history and of civilization has been changed by
less remarkable developments than this. As far
away, as Burke, S. D., people were looking for
ward to hearing the opening performance of
Omaha's den show with as much interest as was
felt right here. Over in Iowa there is scarcely
a town within range that does not receive the
music and news sent out from the Omaha sta-.
lion, There is a drawing together of minds and
interests, an overwhelming of space and time,
that may be looked to for surprising results. '
California still has it all over Nebraska in
some ways. Folks here are not required to shoot
rattlesnakes out of their beds.
Demowatic "Economy"
A Race That Has Found ItaHf.
From Iht Mlaattpolli Jours ll.
Not long ago the fifty-fourth anniversary of
Hampton Institute. Virginia, an industrial school
of negroes, was widely observed. In this school
are taught the theory and practice of black
smithing, carpentry, house painting, agriculture
and the industrial arts.
The remarkable work of such Institutions as
Hampton and Tuskegee may well be a matter
of pride. Their success is at once a reassuring
fact and an index ot social tendencies.
Under the guidance and .inspiration of such
schools, American negroes in the last half cen
tury have increased their ownership of homes
from 12,000 to 650,000. of farms operated from
a thousand to more than a million, and of busi
nesses conducted from 2.000 to 60,000. What
race, in so short a time has paralleled this record
of progress?
Booker T. Washington realized that Indus
trial training and efficiency are the surest levers
for his people's progress and self-help. A fine
statement of the proper relation between the
two races is his famous illustration that they
should be "in all things purely social aa separate
as the fingers; yet one as the hand in all things
essential to mutual progress."
This is more conservative than the earlier
attitude, but sounder and more promising. In
etitutlons like Hampton and Tuskegee show that
the American negro, starting under great dis
advantages, has found himself, and knows the
line of his most promising advance. The rapid
progress of the last half century ia the sure
promise or greater progress to come.
European Population Figures.
From tb Vtw Tork Ermine Foil
Censuses of the population of Great Britlan,
France and Italy were all taken in 1921, and the
official results for Vie last held, the Italian cen
sus, have just been given out in Rome. The pop
ulation or ureal amain, excluding irei&nd, was
found to have, risen in the last decade from
40,830,000 to 42.767,000, and the addition ot
Ireland, where no count was made because of
the disturbed conditions, would lift the total
for the British Isles to well over 47.000,000. The
population of f ranee, as was expected, showed
a distinct loss. Mn 1911 it had been 39.602.000.
and in 1921, even including Alsace-Lorraine, it
was only 3,4uz,ooo. Italy, however, comes out
with flying colors. Her people, including the
annexed provinces, but excluding her African
colonies, now number- 38,835.000. Of these
1,564,000 are living in the annexed areas. Dt
ducting these, and examining only Italy of the
pre-war limits, it is fpund that the population
has risen by 2,599.000 souls, or between 7 and 8
per cent, against 4.7 per cent increase for Great
Britain. The British rate of gain was the small
est in a century; the Italian rate was actually
greater man in tne aecaae lsui-ii.
Italian losses in the war were, of course.
much smaller than the English or French. Italy's
people are iecund, ana emigration was largely
cut off. But beyond doubt a very heavy part
of the world. They came to fight, and now they
who flocked home during the conflict from the
United States, Brazil, Argentina, and other parts
o fthe world. They came to fight, and now they
are staying at least temporarily to work. .

from tha Fituburth Dlplcli.
A committe of scientists is in session at Lon
don to ascertain and advise the government on
the effects of sunlight in health and disease. The
inquiry was stimulated by the fact that 1921,
one of the sunniest years England has ever had,
showed the lowest death rate on record, 12.1 per
i.vvu or population. A cnarl showing the last
three month sof 1921 and the first four of 1922
strengthened this conclusion. As the dark shadow
rises the lack of . sunshine the death rate
mounts, not Immediately, but about two weeks
later, but with sufficient regularity as to indicate
cause and effect.
The governmental interest is to increase the
proportion of , sunshine by greater efforts for
smoke prevention and the elimination as much
as possible of the "London particular" the fog
which hangs like a pall over the city in certain
months. It is also proposed to make the find
ings the basis for an educative campaign for
dally "sun baths," for more general enjoyment
of what sunshine there is "the world's anti
septic." Too many, thoughtless of the demon

When the present administration came in on
March 4, 1921, it tried to take stock. It now
finds about 5,000,000 tons of steel ships are
salable tor approximately 5I50.UOU.WX), and esti
mated other assets of $190,000,000. It finds claims
pending against the eovernment of $298,428,-
845.59, which, if allowed in full would just about
wipe out all our assets and leave us nothing to
show for our 53,306,000,000 of the people s money
expended. Countless millions had been sunk in
Hog island and every other mudhole in the
country. To show the rank incompetency of the
preceding administration, it has found that mort
gages and other liens securing the government
tor vast sums had not been recorded and the
liens were lost. Liens for millions which should
have been taken were not. ' Vast sums for re
pairs and reconditioning were charged against
the corporation for things which the slightest
care might have prevented; ships had been sold
without a cent of deposit or a letter of security;
vast contracts, uncanceHable. for materials were
found. To illustrate, a contract to take 40,000,000
barrels of fuel oil a year. The board is involved
in fifty concerns which are in the hands of re
ceivers. Three thousand five hundred law suits

Douglas' County Hospital.
Omaha, May ST. To the Editor
of The Uee: Not a great while ego
I had occasion to make two trips to
the Douglas county linnpttal to see
one of the unfortunate temporary
Inmates of that institution, and I
found one of the worat streets of the
whole city leading from Leaven
worth street south to the hospital.
It does not look very well for
Omaha and Douglas county to have
such an unsightly thoroughfare
leading to an Institution that is fill
ed with hundreds of Inmates.
These down-and-out people ought
to be given some consideration,
and their Uvea made as pleasant and
comfortable aa possible, and it seema
to ma that the street leading to that
Institution ought to be made Into a
pleasing passageway. It seems to me
It would be better to spend lees
money in Improving parks and
boulevards and athletic parks and
look more to the interest of the In
mates of the Douglas county hos

Railroad Man's Pay.
Council Bluffs, la.. May 29. To
the Editor of The Bee: I notice some
real good letters In your paper about
the wage reduction of the railroad
employes, and. ns I, too, am a rail
road man's wife, wish to say my
bit about it. I think when they
talk wage cut they would stop and
consider one moment what us poor
people will have to do. We are all
human, as well as the high-salaried
officers. My, dear brethren, try cut
ting on them first before you bother
us again. Do you ever picture in your
mind a mother of eight or more
striving to make the small salary
pay grocery bills, doctor, - rent or
payment on house, shoes, and every
thing? Put yourself in our place,
and plan and make over clothes un
til you are so tired of remodeling
you don't know what to do, then see
if you would want wages cut. Most
assuredly you would not. And I
want to say I don't believe in
striking, but I am with the rest of
the union men's wives. If you can't
see when you have gone your limit,
something must be done to protect
us and families.

From th Lm Angeles Timet, -
Babe Ruth's sentence expired Saturday and
the supreme arbiter permitted his return to the
game. . Some forty thousand fans turned out
to see him wallop the. bead. They had their
faces all fixed for a home run, but the mighty
Ruth could only swat a few holes in the air and
go. back to the bench. Naturally tha crowd
groaned when Babe struck out. Ruth Is san
guine that he will still be able to equal or sur
pass his home-run record, but hia enforced ab
sence from the opening games and his limping
start form a handicap that will be hard to over
come. With hia salary and his $500 bonus for
home-runs, Ruth figured on cleaning up about
1100,000 this season, but the poor devil may
not make much more than $75,000. This is
pretty tough on a husky man who has to work
pretty near an hour a day.

BEATON DRUG CO.
Make Remarkable Offer to Any Person in Omaha Who
It Weak, Sick, Nervous or Run-Down.
It la Now Possible for You to Come to This Store, Buy a Regular $1.10
Package of Nuxateo Iron for 89e Cents, Use It for Two Weeks, and
if at the End of That Tima You Have Not Received All, and
Even Greater Benefits Than You Expect, Simply Bring
the Wrapper Back to Beaton Drug Co., and We Will
Cheerfully Hand You Back Your Money'
Omaha people mavfwell ask how we can afford to make this remarkable
"Satisfaction or Money Back" offer. Medical examinations by physi
cians all over the country show that an amazing number of people lack
100 iron in their blood. At a recent conference, Dr. James Francis
Sullivan, formerly physician of Bellevue Hospital (Out Door Depart
ment), New York, and the Westchester County Hospital, said, "Without
iron, the blood becomes weak, thin, pale and watery. In many people
this so seriously weakens their vital organs as to lead them to believe
that they have heart or stomach trouble, kidney disease, nerve force ex
haustion or some other serious ailment. I have had people come to me
thinking they had heart trouble, because they often had pains and pal
pitation of the heart, sudden dizziness, faintness or spots before the
eyes. In a great many of these cases, the moment iron was supplied all
of these symptoms disappeared." We make this offer because Genuine
Nuxated Iron contains true organic iron like the iron in your blood. So
many people are deficient in iron who would surely be benefited by this
remarkable remedy, that we recommend that you come right to Beaton
Drug Co. and get your bottle of Nuxated Iron. Use it for two weeks,
and note the improvement in your own case in strength, energy and en
durance. If you are not more than surprised at the results, just bring
back the wrapper and ve will promptly refund your money without
question.
