Maintaining the dignity of public office with

officeholder without a gas wagon at call la In
danger of becoming an object of suspicion or
derision.
Can Gorgas Do It?
The proposal of the Rockefeller Foundation
to send General (lorgas to stem the scourse of
typhus fever, now devastating Serbia, and clean
tip the country in a sanitary way, comprehends
the mightier! task ever net for man. It Is an en
terprise compared to which the job of ridding
the Canal Kone of yellow fever and similar
dlsesses was a holiday.
On the Isthmus General Gorgas had the a'
tlve assistance and hearty co-operation of a
highly organized military force, sod an intelli
gent civil government. In Serbia he would have
neither. However willing the authorities may
be to assist him, or anyone else in the under
taking, It is impossible at present. The Serblau
military authorities have all they can attend to
with the armies 1n (he field, while the civil gov
ernment does not exist, so far as it might be
useful in such a huge enterprise as ridding the
country of the plague.
Conditions in Serbia are most appalling, and
are growing worse; adjacent territory Is Ihrea'
ened, and will undoubtedly be Invaded by tlie
scourge, unless checked. Science can check the
spread of typhus or similar fevers, but to do so
must have assistance. If this can be had, Oor
gas is the man for the undertaking. His genius
for organization, his fearlessness and bis fa
miliarity with sanitary work make him mot
available for the succor of Serbia.
Again has cultured Europe turned to
America to a work for humanity, which can not
be done by the civilized nations of that conti
nent, because they are engaged 'n the most, stu
pendous of human conflicts. The longer the war
lasts, the brighter glows the record of tha
United Ststes.
Entertaining- Company.
"Our hospitable shores" has ever been a
prime favorjte n figurative utterance for poet
and orator, and It may now be expanded slightly
by adding "and harbors," for the seaports of
the United States are entertaining distinguished
company these days- Another German sea rover
has just put Into a nook of shelter over which
waves the Stars and Stripes, and will probably
remain there till after the war is over. It will
be welcome, as are the other ships that have
taken similar refuge. Uncle Sam has plenty of
room la his harbors for all the navies of the
world, and will gladly give them all anchorage,
if they will only come In and behave.
Incidentally, there's a further touch of Ger
man humor In the story of the Kronprlns Wil
helm. Overtaking a British cruiser devoid pf
ammunition, th Germans transferred Us most
effective artillery to their own ship, mounted
them, sank the Britisher, d sailed away on a
cruise of eight months, finally destroying seven
millions of property for the glory of war.

Launching a Presidential Boom.
Democratic prophets are busily engaged Just
now In working out plans for properly putting
the second term candidacy of Wood row Wilson
before the publlo. How to launch the boon
without giving it the appearance of being a po
litical move is the problem they are seeking to
solve. One of the proposals Is that Mr. Wilson
make a (rip and deliver a few speeches, not for
campaign purposes; far be It from that, but Just
aa a sort of visit with the folks, and to tell them
pf the many noteworthy feats i accomplished b?
Ills administration- This' ma? fool the demo
crats, bunot the public. If the president Is no
more successful In his promised addresses than
he was at Indianapolis, he would better stay at
home.
As a matter of fact, the cabinet officers are
and have been busy on press-agent tours for the
administration for months, each vtelng with the
other In sounding the praises of the president
and his party. All of this explanation and ad
juration seems to suggest that the "spontaneity"
of the eall for Mr- Wilson's second term candi
dacy takes a great deal of Inflation. This Is es
pecially true when the renominatlon is a fore
gone conclusion.
.It wouldn't be a bad plan for the presideut
to get out and mingle with his fellow country
men. No other occupant of the White house iu
many years, not even G rover Cleveland, has held
himself so entirely aloof from the people. A
"swing aroupd the circle" might not help hU
chances politically to any great degree, but it
would do him ne harm to get a little more first
hand knowledge of the geography of the United
States. ,

Idleness for Jail prisoners is contrary to i
every accepted doctrine of prison policy, to say
nothing ot Its costliness, and the Invitation It
offers to professionals to make this community
take care of them. A workhouse should no;
only reduce the cost to tho taxpayers of main
taining prisoners, but should cut down the num

LYNCH, Neb., April U.-To the Kdltor
of The Be: Some time ago I read In The

to the I'nlted 8tate for assistance,
claiming that the demands made upon It
by Japan were unjust. The appeal seema
to have made a strong Impression upon
our nation. But, beware! It la only a plot.
China and Japan are working hsnd-ln-

at war. Japan and China are laying the
foundation for the domination of the
entire world.
Japan has been preparing for years

Japan has laid a very clever trap In
which It hopes to ensnare, not only

Europe. It Is high time that our states

nations of Europe now engaged In an
orgy of destruction are all unwittingly
helping pave the way for tine yellow peril.

lie granted to every port would help

BlOUX CITY. Ia, April li-To the
Editor ot The Eee: A correspondent
signing himself E. O. Mcintosh, perpe
trated this gem of philosophical thought:
"A pessimist Is one of the greatest evils
that ever annoyed the community, but
an optimist will laugh even with the
hangman's noose around his neck."
So will an Idiot. 'Tie said that fools
rush in where angels fear to tread. The
fool is the greatest little optimist alive.
A wis man a man who understood
the law of cause and effect would very
naturally have peculiar misgivings re
garding the distressing' effect of a rope
around his neck. But tha wise man
would also have avoided the predicament.
To me, an out-and-out optimist is amus
ing even If he is dangerous, because of
a disinclination to exert energy. Ho who
deliberately closes his eye te conditions
of life falls to do hla duty and Is content
to live simply for his own comfort. Slums,
political scandal, divorce, labor problems,
business problems, religious wrongs all
thsse, the silly optimist would permit to
continue without doing anything to bring
about happier conditions.
Ths real optimist Is the pessimist who
doesn't lose his pense of proportion. Ho
looks at the dark side of things, hut
never gives up hope, ae matter how
much gloom meets him. He keeps peg
ging along, neither Ignoring conditions
nor made discouraged by them.
Nona of ths world's greatest men haa
been the sort to laugh with a hangman's
noose about his neck. Jesus Christ, Mar
tin Luther, and every other prominent
figure of constructive history could prop
erly be classed as pessimist men who
were not blinded to the evil of their
dav.
The pessimist sees, sings' and works:
the optimist sees, sings and shirks In
only one thing are they different.
