Diplomacy and Society.
After having steered the ship of state with
out disaster through the tortuous channels and
rtormy sess of the war period. President Wilson
f'nds himself confronted with one of the most
perplexing problems of his official career.
Niturally the diplomatic representatives of the
warring nations do not speak aa they pass by,
fiid it Is necessary Instead of tbe big diplomatic
c'.inner to have two of these functions, and here
i where the trouble comes in. It Is easy to
divide the guests into groups until the list sifts
d wn beyond the representatives of the actual
combatants, but the grouping of tbe remainder
taxes the wisdom of a Bolomon, and it Is as diffi
cult as striking a balance In an overdrawn bank
account. Fortunately tbe dinners will not be
I eld until after tbe president's wedding and he
w.ll have tbe assistance of woman's wit In such
Matters, which admittedly far outclasses the
logic of mere man.
No Whip-and-Spur Methods.
The defense program of the administration
has already struck the snag which The Bee re
cently pointed out waa probable In case tbe pres
ident Insisted upon making it an administration
measure Instead of one on the broad lines of
mtlonal policy. Congressman Mann, leader of
the republican minority in the house, haa an
nounced In no unequivocal manner tbat while
he Is ready to assist In measures for national
preparedness, he cannot be counted on for any
measure which tbe president decides to force
through congress and that he must see the plans
lit detail before committing himself to their sup
port. It is perfectly apparent that the measure
must have the republican support to pass the
house, and It is a foregone conclusion that no
ready-msde proposition can ever receive a ma
jority vote if advanced as a partisan measure.
Tbe views of all tbe men who believe in the
principle of national preparedness must be met
in a measure and reconciled to each other, and
this cannot be accomplished by the whlp-and-spur
methods used for administration bills in
tbe previous congress.
Oil Pipe Line.
Wyoming authorities have appointed a com
mittee to act in conjunction with the Nebraska
committee to try and evolve a plan for piping
Wyoming oil to Omaha. The appointment of
committees and agitation of tbe project do not
necessarily mean the construction of such a line,
but they are preliminaries which may lead to
accomplishment. The value to Omaha and the
territory back of it of such an enterprise hardly
admits of discussion, but it is a' big project in
volving a great outlay and only by careful and
scientific investigation can its feasibility be de
termined sufficiently to induce capital to em
lark in it. If the commission will get down to
teal business, collect exact data as to cost, en
gineering problems and prospective revenue, it
still lay a foundation for accomplishing so me
lting. If It simply deals in generalities and per
forms Its work in a slipshod manner It will fall
n results and leave the matter Just where it baa
teen ever since oil was discovered in the Wyom
ing field, an idle dream.
Manual Labor for Preachers.
The p. eacher who advised bis fellows to get
cut and chop wood, dig in ditches and similar
things did not have in mind tbe economic fea
ture of tbe clergy piecing out salaries by such
expedients, but by putting bis ideas into tbe
commonplace challenged attention to tbe fact
that brain workers, if they are to make tbe best
use of their faculties, must also do the things
which assist in making strong bodies and de
veloping faculties which otherwise would be
dormant. It is advice that is pertinent not only
to preachers, but to all whose labor is mental
and tends to one-sided development, but it might
also easily have another valuable Influence if
ffllowed literally by opening up a vision of tbe
eruditions and problems of the man who tolls
as the term is commonly understood.
Substitution of practical for purely academic
knowledge might also help to solve the problem
of class and confound the idea that the church
is losing sympathy with labor and stop the mani
fest drift of the man who tolls w'th his hands
away from tbe church. There is nothing like
touching elbows to awaken the spirit of com
radeship, and there is nothing like a personal
realisation of the problems of our fellows to
lead up to a better understanding of each other
and to mutual confidence. The minister or so
cial worker who stands on the edge of the trench
dressed in a frock coat or a silk dress has a
poor show of reaching the heart or obtaining
an attentive ear from tbe man in tbe bottom
who wields the pick and shovel. To accomplish
this it Is not necessary, of course, to make a
business of toiling In the ditch, but a push up
ward from a fellow Is much more effective than
a gloved hand reached down gingerly from
above.
Will This Hake Prohibition Prohibit t
Real prohibition begins a grand march
through Georgia next May. In a semi-legal
Knse Georgia has been a prohibition state for
several years back, but Its brand of prohibition
featured tbe label more than the contents of the
bottle. After a thorough trial of near-beer as
a specific for drouth, tbe natives decided to out
law every grade of alcoholie stimulants and, aa
one lawmaker phrased it, "make the smell of
liquor a penitentiary offense in Georgia,"
Tbe law Just passed by the legislature la
rpeclal session prohibits the manufacture or
aale of any drink containing more than one-half
of 1 per cent of alcohol, banishes locker clubs,
car-beer saloons and hangs crepe on the doors
.f tbe breweries.
Southern hospitality In the customary public
wsy is doomed under tbe law. Privately it U
rrlvlleged to flourish as of yore. Whoever haa in
clination and the price is permitted to draw on
the wet states for two quarts of liquor, one gal
lon of wine and forty-eight pints of beer a
liionth. Any Georgia thirst exceeding the max
imum can take the first train out for Louisville
or Cincinnati.
Court after court laya violent hands oa blue
iky laws, the last knockout coming from South
i-axoia. is apparent from tbe unity of Judi
cial temper on this brand of reform that the
application lacks tbe smooth, convincing vocabu
lary of blue sky peddlers. It is up to Kansas
to reform its reforms.

Preparing for Peace
Ooaifrassmaa William a. Bssastt. '
"Democratic orators used to tell us that a demo
cratic tariff would not disturb business; but It did.
Tha war, regrettable aa It la. waa the salvstlon of
American Industry- Even with Imports greatly Im
peded by the war. our manufacturing Industries were
so seriously Interfered with In this rlty Isst winter
that 400.1O') people were out of work. The election
was In part a protest against unemployment.
"Rut It will be aald that conditions sre Improving.
Of course, the war Is a pro tempore protective tarlft
of a makeshift kind, and In addition we have this
new trade In munitions of war. Whatever may be
our opinion of Its ethics we cannot deny that It Is
bringing money into this country. Hut when the war
ceases and we lose Instantly both our substitute for
an adequate tariff and our munitions trade, what
then?
Nor Is this all. Tbe manufacturing enterprises of
Europe generally have hot been destroyed. They have
been curtailed, suspended, changed and largely brought
under governmental control, which will mean such
regulation that foreign markets csn be Invaded suc
cessfully. Ten million men will leave the trenches
when this war closes. Will they be turned loose to
be slowly absorbed without plan or provisions Into
Industry? By no means. No government would dare
try such an experiment
"On the contrary, each government will. In the
beginning at least, assign these soldier-workmen to
Industrial tasks. Wages? These men ara soldiers'
The governments control the Industries. I'ntil Indus
tries are re-established tha men and their families will
trig ara re-established tha men and their families will
continue to be supported as they are now being sup
ported. We shall face, therefore, not the product of
European cheap labor, but the product of soldier labor,
and our country, unscathed by war, Is the market to
which their goods must come. Agalnat the wholesale
dumping on our market of this flood of the most
chesply-produoed foreign goods ever made, we must
have protection or the employes of our own competing
factories will walk the streets
"I am for preparedness, but even more than pre
paredness for war, we need preparedness for peace.
That preparedness wa can attain only through a pro
tective tariff and, scientifically, only through a tariff
commission. I propose, at once, to advocate both."
Eugenics with the Spartans
Tha ancient Spartana were tha pioneers in the field
of eugenics, and In the theory that the defectives
should not be allowed to burden the state.
Compared to this early code. Dr. H. J. Halselden's
thrtory that an Infant doomed to be a defective should
ba allowed to dla Is almost sentimental,
"Whenever a child, mala or female, waa born to
Spartan parents," said Prof. John A. Bcott, head of
tha Greek department of Northwestern university, "II
had no legal standing In the state until its physical
fitness had been passed upon by certain constituted
offlciala. This body of men made up of the loaders
In tha community, determined whether it should live
or die. If It gave promise of developing Into an abl-i
bodied cltisen, capable of withstanding the Inlensivo
physical training In youth, preparatory to a service
of arms, beginning about tha age of 21, th.e child wss
permitted to live.
In cases where this board found the baby weak
and possibly defective Its parents were compellod to
turn It out on the mountains to perish or to dispose
of It In other ways.
This practice also waa followed by the Athenians,
not so much aa a measure In military efficiency as a
purely social one, to Insure a strong, vigorous, virile
country. And under this regimen the Greeks continued
for agea to be the most militant, unconquerable people
In the world. There were few feeble-minded and no
cripples, save those wounded In war.
Indeed, In tha Greek drama, this elimination of
tha unfit or weak waa one of the standard plots.
Thus, In Oedipus, by Bophoolee. .the son of a king waa
turned out in the mountains to perish, after his feet
had been maimed. Ha was found by a ahepherd.
reared, became a man of power, and, not knowing
the line from which ha came, he slew his father ami
married his own mother. Subsequently he learned of
his descent, and he and his mother slew themselves.
Rules for Good Health
Don't worry. "Peek peace and pursue It."
Don't hurry. "Too swift arrives as tardily aa too
slow."
Bleep and rest abundantly. "Tha beat physicians
ara Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet and Dr. Merryman."
Ppend leas nervous energy each day than you
make. "Work ilka a man, but don't be worked to
death."
Re cheerful. "A tight heart lives long."
' Think only healthful thoughts. "As a man thlnk
eth in hla heart, so is ba."
Avoid passion and excitement. "A moment's anger
may be fatal."
Associate with healthy people. "Health Is con
tagious aa well as disease."
Don't carry tha whole world on your shoulders,
far leas the universe. "Trust In the good Lord."
Never despair. "Lost hope Is a fatal disease."

tha hero of the aketch waa a waiter, a coal-black, ex

OKIPWOLD. Ia.. Nov. II. To the
Editor of The Pee: When a man departa
from this life and 's not over abundatly
supplied with "vain lucre," perhaps It
Is then that the world realties that "our
lives ara aa filthy rags." This Is In tho
Bible, and within the lids of tha aame
book, we Iram that It la "a wire child
that knows its own father." The truth
of this statement is being established
at Hastings, Neb., where a man did
a few years apo leaving an estate value 1
at more than $im,ono with about a score
cf persons claiming sonshlp.
In other lands, we realise there Is
war, with "rumors of war" rumbling
nearer home, with prayers for victory
and peace favoring self and selfish In
terests that have the economic forces of
esrlh guessing. Yet, tomorrow's sun will
shine as bright as on creation's mom.

STAMFORD, Neb., Nor. l.-To the
Editor of The Pec: Relative to the ar
ticle by Mr. Wooster on redemption, to
him the ass and the serpent are all the
result of caufte. Now, Is It more ratlonat
to believe that Mr. Wooster Is the result
of intelligent or unintelligent cause In
other words, a cause aa unintelligent as
the law of gravity. Darwin seeks to
atrtbute the power of choice to natute.
Natural Is thst condition of things other
than the artificial. But before there la
any choosing there must be something
to choose or to survive. We see purpose
In everything In the world almost, but
you must say unintended purpose, for
Instance, aa In the eye, the ear, the voice
of the ass and the aerpent Which waa
first, the germ or the mature plant or
animal? For Instance, the ben or the egg?
It is beyond his finite mind to compre
hend the power of a Creator. Wooster
may call the Bible a relic of superstition
and barbarism, but how doee he know
that a thing Is absurd or foolish? If he
hasn't the power of mind to know how
it waa done, as for Instance, Infidels say
miracles are not to be believed because
they are contrary to nature, does man
presume to know all of the workings of
this thing which he calls nature and that
It la not controlled by some supreme In
telligence which his mind cannot fathom.
Bob Ingersoll says that only within the
last fifty years haa this old world been
a fit place In which to live. Why should
It ever have been if no one intended it
to be at alt or Intended Mr. Wooster or
Bob to be or live here? I take the Bible
just aa It Is, for Its being written seems
a miracle or wonder to me. And a miracle
Is only wonderful beyond the human
mind. We look about us In the mechani
cal world and we see perfected models
of everything and we aay what chance In
10,000 that they assembled themselves?
And If a man la a fool to think such a
thing, how then about tha first mortal
body? W. S. HEDGES.
