JUST PLAIN AMERICAN.
It sometimes is charged that there is no such
thing as a purely American viewpoint in world af
fairs. The truth of this accusation is to be ques
tioned. Mainly the difficulty seems to lie in the
tendency on so many hands to classify any opinion
or movement as pro-this-nation or anti-that-nation.
There are, as a matter of fact, certain standards of
international conduct by which American public
opinion judges. Once the facts are agreed upon, the
great majority of Americans will be found in strict
accord.
There is, for example, very little feeling in
America that can fairly be called anti-French, or
pro-French. The American position is one calling
for peace and justice, and riot endorsing wrong, by
whomsoever it may be committed.
Something is wrong in Europe, so wrong that j
it is hardly to be. believed that anything America ,
can do now will set it right. Aside from the oc
cupation of the Ruhr there are many other disturb
ing factors. How serious they are is indicated by
a cable dispatch which -tells of the general tighten
ing up of British military, naval and air organiza
tions. The home anti-aircraft forces are being re
cruited to serve during national emergencies even
though no order calling out the territorial army is
in force at the time. The explanation is advanced
that the British authorities are apparently visualiz
ing a sudden surprise air attack by an enemy be
fore formal declaration of war.
The greatest military power in the world today
is France. By alliance with Poland and others it
occupies for the time being an immensely strong
position. Though it owes the United States more !
than $3,000,000,000, which it has given no evidence ’
of intention of paying, it has within the last week
made a loan of 400,000,000 francs to Poland. Most
ot' this money is to be spent in France for the pur
chase of war material, and the whole is to be ap
plied, not to any constructive purpose, but to the
strengthening of the Polish army. According to
the official statement this is “in accordance with the
decision of the French and Polish military staffs.”
Poland, by the way, is another debtor of America,
owing $153,000,000 for war time financial aid.
The manner in which the French backed the
Turks while England backed the Greeks is equally
disturbing. '■La.-.t spring, before the Turkish of
fensive, the French war ministry supplied the Turks j
with uniforms, rifles, horses and airplanes.
It is into this menacing situation that Lloyd
George wishes to draw the United States. He
pitches his parliamentary plea on the need of some
power to rescue France from the morass Into which
it is plunging. Yet France would nor welcome any
iritereference, nor is it to be doubted that Lloyd
George is thinking most of England and the bui
ance of power. That is one trouble with Europe
one can never be confident of the underlying in
tention* of any old world statesman. A move
eventually must be made to restore the European
equilibrium, but unless English hands are clean it
is difficult to see how America can unite our pur- .
poses with theirs. There is an American foreign 1
policy, but it is not pro English, pro-German, pro- j
French or pro-anything else but peace and justice.
WHEN NEIGHBORS GET TOGETHER
Small towns either progtes- or they decay. The
attractions and opportunities of the cities draw
population from some of the villages of America
almost as readily as from the farms. It is to be
■feared that if the movement to reduce local taxation
falls into wrong hands, limiting educational facilities,
-frowning on recreational activities and discourag
ing public improvements, this drain will be greatly
increased.
There are some towns in Nebraska that have
hern conducting their affairs extravagantly, no
doubt, but there are others that have been niggardly
in their public expenditures and which suffer a
human loss that can not be computed in dollars. In
towns of this latter sort such an institution as a
community house would be regarded as a source of
reckless and useless expense. It is rather to be be
lieved, however, that Randolph, Neb., is on the right
track in planning to erect a community building, snd
that its progressive citizens are warranted in asking
a bond issue to help finance it. Omaha, big as it is,
has tried for this same neighborhood spirit through
community centers in the schools. In the vicinity
known as Florence a real community house has been
established.
In many of the live towns of Nehraska the com
munlty house has become an essential feature. About
this building centers the non-sectarian and nonpar
tisan life of the neighborhood. Them is an auditorium
arranged to serve as a theater, a place for athletic
.eames, military drill banquets- and dancing. A
kitchen for serving banquets and socials are neers
-ary adjuncts. Off to one fide are small rooms used
by the Red Cross, the Boy Scouts, the hand and
civic organizations. A place like th.s, where the
people from the outlying farms would feel as much
at home as if they lived in town, is a power house
of local patriotism, progress and human satisfaction.
A community consciousness is necessary to the
development of t.he sort of town worth living in.
Sometimes a church with an especially able and
active pastor will take the lead, but always there
must be sonic local point. The introduction of
athletic sports In the schools has a value in building
up community pride. A village, pageant may also
bring to life a new feeling of unity. Many things
mav grow out of the community house, among them
both leadership and co-oneration among all classes
for t common aim. If Randolph or any other No
braska town builds a community hall, it will find its
money to be well spent.

SOUL TRIUMPHANT OVER NATURE.
‘The celebrated doctor of La Rlboisiere hospital,
with both sleeves hanging empty but standing erect
and undaunted by misfortune, received the honors
at the Hotel de Ville.”
Thus does the dispatch from Paris tell of the
decorating of Dr. Charles Vaillant with the highest
honor of the French Legion of Honor, in addition
to the Carnegie Hero medal and the gold medal of
the City of Paris.
The dispatch does not tell how the doctor sacri
ficed his arms in his researches in connection with
the X-ray. He knew the deadly nature of the me
dium through which he worked, but his zeal for
science and the application of the mysterious ray
to the curing of human ills persisted. His
earnestness has been rewarded by many discoveries,
all of which are or can be utilized in the art of
healing.
Dr. Valiant is but another added to the long
list of devoted men who have deliberately exposed
themselves in the course of experimentation that hu
manity may be bettered. The Panama canal was
built because a group of American army doctors in
Cuba allowed themselves to be bitten by the
stegomyia, feeling certain they would thereby be
inoculated with deadly yellow fever. What they
found out has been put to use, and yellow jack is
practically annihilated.
The cool practical courage of these men is sup
ported by moral strength of' the highest degree.
Humanity’s progress rests on their willingness to
risk death or bodily/discomfort that knowledge may
be increased. Happily their reward is not solely
expressed by medals or ribbons. Even the most
thoughtless of us must sometimes pause long enough
to bless the men who have saved the race so much
of misery.
LIBERTY FOR AMERICAN CHILDHOOD.
One of the blights on American civilization has
been the exploitation of children in industry. State
after state has stamped this out, by laws that reg
ulate the conditions of employment, and absolutely
forbid the presence of children of tender age in
workshop, mill, mine or factory. Certain of the
sovereign states refuse to enact such laws, but per
mit infants to toil long hours alongside adults, pay
ing pitiful wages for the services, and handing on to
society the wreckage of body and mind, the inevitable
product of child labor.
Twice the congress of the United States has
sought by law to forbid child labor, and twice the
effort has been defeated because of the presence of
state sovereignty. In the last case, decided early
last year, Mr. Justice Holmes of the supreme court
of the United States, dissenting to the majority
opinion, inquired why it is the federal police power
may invade a sovereign state to stamp out a lottery,
and may not invade the state to stamp out the
greater evil of child labor.
An attempt is being made to answer that ques
tion by giving to congress through a constitutional
amendment, the power to regulate the employment
of persons under 18 years of age. A report from
Washington is to the efTeet that the senate com
mittee has agreed to report this amendment favor
ably. It will be opposed, but it ought to carry, for
it seems to be the one sure way of reaching the evil.
In a land like ours, children should be free to
enjoy their childhood. No exigency exists, or ever
did exist, to justify the exploitation of the little ones.
Industry thrives in Nebraska and other states where
in the employment of children Is forbidden by law,
and there is no reason to think the same tkill not
apply when the rule becomes general.

joices that Henry Cabot Lodge is to bo a member

Mr. Woodruff Itrplies.
Omaha.—To the Editor of The Oma
ha bee: 1 note that Mr. Ward of
Ilartingtdn is much peeved bi r ause I
showed up the auto-suggestion fake.
Thero are quite a number of people
who care more sustaining a theory
or some pet hobhy than establishing
a fart. For the most part human con
clusions and notions fall under two
heads. In one the person follows his
natural bent. He i8 the slave of his
desires and natural tendencies. Kuch
persons accept all evidence that
pleases their purpose and teject ail
evidence that would turn them from
the line of their desire. These peo
ple are beyond the pale of reason.
They are mere creatures of instinct.
To discus? a question with them is a
mere waste of time.
To tho other class truth arid facts
arc tho foundation of all their con
clusions. They make th<-lr desires
the servant of their intelligence, not
its master. On every subject in dis
pute they gather all the evidence that
can be obtained and carefully -weigh
and anallze it and come to a conclu
sion upon the weight of evidence, then
they abide by that conclusion until
new and unimpeached evidence show
that their position should be modi (led,
then, and then only, do they change
their position, and that always ac
cording to the weight of evidence.
Mr. Ward says that auto-suggestion
Is not new. Sure, it is not new.
Neither is fortune telling new. Both
are as old as Satan. Every so often
-the Old Boy brushes up his vagaries
and in turn brings them out to fool
unthinking people.
As I said in my previous letter,
auto-suggestion is denned as sell
hypnotism and hypnotism us a form
of somnambulism brought on by arti
ficial action on the nerves In persons
of very weaX organization. To the
drunk man everything is spinning
around or the pavement flics up and
hits him In the face. Nothing of the
kind actually happens, It is his con
dition that causes the illusion. Auto
suggestion lias the same effect on the
spiritual and intellectual forces that
Intoxication has on the physical.
It is the rankest blasphemy to claim
that Christ used such chicanery in
performing his miracles. True science
never enters the realm of specula
tion. Science experiments, never spe
culates. It deals only with proven
facts. Science, by study and experi
ment, has established a great many
facts concerning the human body.
The surgeon from his knowledge of
these facts science, and by his skill
acquired by practice, experiment, per
forms a wonderful operation. There Is
no more miracle about this than when
a skillful housewife makes a batch of
delicious biscuits for breakfast. The
-urgeon could not make the biscuits
nor could tho housewife perform the
i operation, because their scientific
knowledge is along different lines: hut
in each case is something that either
could acquire. A group of engineers
start a tunnel on opposite sides of a
mountuln and miles under ground in
the very h-,.rt if tho mountain meet
almost to the inch. Th-re Is no mir- j
ao)e In tin --a- . stmi-i.- 'he skillful
use of scientific knowledge Christ
did not use science In Ills mirm le« '
cures or otherwise. Tho Holy Spirit
gave hirn a superhuman, divine
power The Holy bpirit brings this
power from the throne of God to men
only on certain specified conditions.
It is something above and beyond
man s normal capabilities, something
that man can not attain by his own
efforts.

“The Gospel nf Work.”
j Krom tli® Grand Island Independent.
The Fall River i.Mass.I News re
cently contained an editorial that
analyzes a current question without
gloves, and may seem somewhat
■’rough” to that clement of modern
society which is bringing up its com
ing generation as a petted and spoiled
lot—to the ultimate detriment of no
one so much as the children them
selves!
•'•ven today1 there arc evidences,
from time to time, of tragedies in
the lives of young married men and
women merely because they have
been permitted to grow to manhood
and womanhood in a helpless and
dependent manner.
The Massachusetts editor takes up
the question of pleasure and work
i with reference to tho young boys and
I girls of tho time and says:
"Tho gospel of work Is being
neglected today. Mother and father
are working about as hard as ever,
hut the young people are loafing as
never before.
"Put them to work!
"The mother who allows her daugh
ter to dawdle her time away, to think
of nothing but dress and fashion, to
play the piano and use the family au
tomobile when she should be wash]nv
dishes and helping to make tho .beds
land performing other useful tasks
| about the house Is neglecting her
duty. The. girl who grows to woman
hood without a knowledge of house
hold management is not a credit to
her mother. Her mother has been
remiss.
"Tho father who allows his son to
grow up a loafer is not a good citizen.
He rhould take enough Interest in ills
family to see that the boy Is brought
up familiar with work. Not dainty
Jobs alone, but good old fashioned jobs
like cleaning out the cellar, hand
ling the ashes and bringing up the
coal. It won't hurt him. He can
wear gloves If he ia afraid of ruin
ing his banjo hands. He can wear
a skull cap so as not to ruffle his
patent leather hair. And tho work
will build up his physique jut* as ef
ficiently as the gym and tip baseball
diamond
"Put them to work!
"And working will t:- them for life.
Many of tho young folk growing up
today have never looked a job of real
w-ork in the eves. They look upon
work as something to dread, some
thing to look forward to with fear
and trembling, something to be avoid
ed and skulked ee long as possible.
“Put them to work now!
"Put them to work early! Honest
work never hurt sr.y one yet. Give
them plenty of piav-time. hut fimlUar
ire them with some form of work.
Then, when they come to shift for
themselves they won't be astonished
and hurt because they are expected
to toll.

It serin* that Mosul Is on the site
of the ancient city of Nineveh. Some
three or four thousand years ago Jo
nah after a period in the alimentary
canal of a whale, appeared on the
streets of Nineveh and shouted, “Yet
40 day.f and Nineveh shall be over
thrown.” The Inhabitants of the place
are reported to have repented them
selves in sackcloth and ashes. Had Jo
nah said, "Yet 30 centuries and
Nineveh shall strike oil,” the Inhabi
tants would, had they understood the
lmpltcatiom of these great matters,
have asked anxiously when ’he next
whale was ailing hack to Tarsbish.
WottaLife! WottaLife!
