All right, Mr. Weatherman, If you tnalit on boosting Mr. Coalman'! games. But watchful walt'ng la not ao popular with the hungry democrats still lingering In the trenches. Now that the budget Is off their hands, wont oar city commissioners please transplant that ng!y welcome arch to some other spot. No trouble to draw plans and specifications tor further municipal Improvements for Omaha. The real Job lies in drawing forth the funds to foot the bills. All the democratlo federal pie brigade and pie expectants, to say nothing of other notables, are billed to attend the coming lore feaat at Lin coln. Oh, It will be a glorious affair! Te emphasise the non-partisan character of the Nebraska method of choosing a non-partisan judiciary, the democrats always start out boost ing democrats only. Of course, it's just force of habit. A postofflce robbery in St. Paul, a hospital robbery in Chicago and a train hold-up in Teias signalizes the openrng week of the new year and indicates too much of a revival of Industry along crooked lines. Searching for a democratlo Moses around Salt Creek Is risky business. If the searchers persist. Brother Charley will be obliged to ex change a comfortable radiator for a chilly roost among the bullrushes. Memories of past wars are so thoroughly submerged in the present one that Spain has placed orders for 120,000,000 worth of goods in this country. The fact that the orders bad to come this way makes the business no less welcome. Just as New Year resolutions temperately mark up high scores on the water wagon along comes Paollna Beltegrlal, a frisky dame of 117 years, scoffing at the crowded Vehicle. Mrs. Bellegrinl doesn't know the taste of water, hav ing drank wine all her life. Next! Lincoln papers are manifesting great solid ti'da about the after-eight o'clock traffic across the bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs. Now that Iowa has been dried up, Lincoln has tender recollections of the accelerated travel to and from Havelock during the brief period that Lincoln went without saloons. As aa aftermath of the cold anap a atria waa pre cipitated amonf the Ire cutters along- the river, demanding- 11.75 a day Instead of 11.40. the wages paid.

End of a "Trust" Prosecution. Trial of eleven directors of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad company, ac cused of misdeeds In connection with the man- yement of the road, has resulted In the ac quittal of six and disagreement of the jury as to the guilt of five. The outcome showg the fu tility of the government's course In its pursuit of so-called "trusts" or "big business." It is one thing for an Investigating committee tc make discoveries and another to establish the criminal Intent or responsibility of those blamed by the committee. The New Haven rase, as It Is commonly styled, on the surface exhibited signs of flagrant abuse of corporate power and ap parent disregard for rights of stockholders and the public as welL Aa such It was looked upon as one that would serve to expose the interior working of the "money trust" and end its malev olent sway. The case was thoroughly presented, with all possible Information going to the jury. Former President Mellen, presented as the lieutenant of the late J. P. Morgan in the handling of the New Haven line, was on the stand for weeks and told the whole story of the deals whereby the New Haven system was built up. All the maneuvers were explained to the jury, which finally de cided that the accused directors were not crimi nals. In plain words, the government failed to prove what it had alleged. In principle-, the caae involved the question of co-operation or competition. This is not go ing to be nettled by law Rjlts nor by the enact ment of anti-trust legislation, but by the process of normal development of business. The po litical aspects of the New Haven case, which in clude democratic efforts to entangle certain re publican leaders, as well aa bringing a former associate of Attorney General Gregory from Texas to try the case, will not be entirely over looked by the public in finally making up its Judgment. Better means for publicity, and closer and more effective official supervision, is the ap proved remedy for the evils that lurk in such ventures as the New Haven expansion. What Are the D. T.'s? Appeal for the Poles. The Poles of America have sent an appeal to Premier Asqulth asking that the blockade be suspended and that relief ships, carrying car goes for Poland, be permitted to pass through. This request, made in the name of humanity, should be granted without delay. It is one of the anomalies of war that a submerged people should be forced to endure the dreadful conse quences of conflict that have overtaken Poland This unhappy land has been overrun by contend ing armies, bent on errands in which its people have no part, and from whom they can look for neither sympathy nor succor. No section of the battle front has been more completely devas tated than Poland, whose inhabitants are now left without food or shelter, and subject to still further trampling from battle. Aid in plenty Is promised and ready in America, and the only question now, that of getting it through, Is put up to Asqulth. Why ii a Platform? , .... Chairman McCombs of the democratic na tional committee, has just written the Arkansas democrats that the Baltimore presidential pri mary plank is "merely a suggestion," and not binding on the party. Which raises anew the old question, "Why Is a platform?" The Balti more document was labored over very earnestly and very patiently by Mr. Bryan, who produced It as a masterpiece of political buncombe, full of promises and recommended aa binding for what it contained as well as for what it omitted. It has since been rudely buffeted, and in its pres ent battered condition bears but slight resem blance to the carefully polished production so whooplngly adopted as an expression of purpose and confession of faith by the democrats. One by one its most important planks have been splintered by those pledged to their preserva tion, until now the dogma of "let the peepul rule" boes by the board to Join the "sacred ratio." Two points on which extra emphasis was laid were the presidential primary and the one-term pledges. Both these were solemnly taken in the name of democracy and on them the nominee, now the president, took his stand. Ribald scoff era were put to scorn by the sincerity with which the nominee and his sponsor asseverated the sanctity of these planks. And the voters believed them! The platform was built to stand on. Now, look at the durned thing! It is difficult in this connection to refrain from recalling the fact that Mr. Bryan was chosen delegate to tne Baltimore convention by a referendum through which the voters also ex pressed their preference for Champ Clark as a presidential nominee, and that this Instruction was no more followed in letter or spirit than the platform which he imposed on the party. Chance To Do a Neighborly Turn. Lincoln people want a welcome arch. Here's a chance for Omaha to do a neighborly turn. Let's give the Capital City folks the welcomt arch that now spans Farnam street at Eight eenth. This would serve to cement the friendly feeling between the two cities even more firmly, if it were possible, and will be doing ourselves quite a good turn, too. We hesitate to mention it, for fear the Lincoln folks might think the action inspired by selfishness rather than gen erosity, but they'll be as welcome to that wel come arch as rain after a hot day. It is within the range of reason to say they can have it coat and carriage free, if they'll just come after it. Omaha is still ready to welcome visitors, and to show them all sorts of hospitality, for which the Gate City is famed the world around, but It Is aweary of that disf'gurement that blots the sky la front of the city hall. Washington correspondents foreshadow lively times ahead for congress. The prepared Less program of the administration seems cer tain of meeting the atlftest opposition within the party. Colonel Bryan Is expected to take personal command of the peace-at-any-prlce forces, and lead the fight against so-tailed mili tarism, regardless of consequences. Should the battle develop as anticipated, republicans are bound to observe an attitude of armed neutral ity, and afford the contending forces all the en icuratenirnt and ammunition within range. xuterary XHg-est. THAT delirium tremens la the direct result of over Indulgence In alcohol l.i well understood. But how does overindulgence act? And why should some hard dalnkera never "we snakea." while other and much milder victims viauallxe them to such a degree that loss of life follows? According to eta editorial writer In The Journal of American Medi cal Aaaorlatlon these are allll mysteries. Theories ot delirium tremens are not wanting; hut they are ao many aa to Indicate that the truth la yet undis covered In Ita completeness. There appears to be an Interesting, though disquieting, reason for revlvsl of research In the subject Just now. The writer tells fs that since the Harrison napcotlo law went Into ef fect, many drug habitues, having exhausted their sup ply and falling to obtain more, have turned to alcohol as a substitute. In some who have been drinking for years the sudden and marked Increase In the amount of liquor conaumed haa led to the frequent occurrence of delirium tremens. After noting that "chronic alcoholic poisoning pro duce well known changes la the central and peri pheral nervous system." ha adds. In substance: "As yet, however, no changes have been found In the brain which explain why a man who has been drinking for years suddenly developa a delirium which runs a definite course of from three to five days or even longer. "It hss been thought that delirium tremens la an acute Infection occurring tn chronic alcoholics. Never theless, many cases run their entire course without fever, and Nonne found blood cultures negative In fifteen consecutive cases examined by him. Dolken believes that continued drinking- of alcohol results In thn production of a poisonous substance In the brain Itself, and that an accumulation or concentration of thla substance produces delirium tremens. Jacohson explains the delirium as an autointoxication, the toxin arising from the pneumocorcus gaining entrance through the liver, the kidney, or the Intestinal tract, and acting on a brain which has been poisoned over a long period of time by alcohol. The view of Herti differs from this In that the supposed poison which precipitates the delirium comes from an Insufficiency on the part of the kidney. According to Bonhoeffer. chronln alteration In the inteatlnal tract Is responsible for the elaboration of poison which Is normally ex creted through Oio lungs. Wagner von Jauregg be lieves that the liver, rather than the lungs. Is the organ which falls to eliminate the poison, and he thinks that this failure la due to the changes oc curring In the liver In chronic alcoholism. Kauff. mann haa asserted that this poison Is a carbon de rivative acting on a medulla altered as a result of chronic alcoholism. He believes that the delirium will persist until the production of this carbon-derivative stops." 4 All of these theories presuppose a poisoned cen tral nervous system. It has been objected, however, that many chronic drinkers never suffer delirium. It has been suggested that different poisons may re sult from excessive drink and that only one of these Viay cause delirium tremens. There are, however, still other theories: "The possibility that delirium Is due to an increase in the pressure and amount of the spinal fluid haa recently been considered. Jauregg of Vienna as sumes that the body of chronic alcoholics protects It self by the production of an anti-alcohol which Is of the nature of an antitoxin. When a hard drinker suddenly stops taking alcohol, this antl-alcohollc sub stance, having no alcohol to which to affix Itself, acts on the body In such a manner to to produce delirium tremens. Hare maintains that the develop ment of delirium Is due to a sudden fall In the amount of alcohol circulating in the blood of alco holics. His evidence Is drawn from a study of seventy-five rases. In nearly all of which there was a great reduction In the amount ot alcohol absorbed prior to the onset of delirium. " "Numerous objections have been raised to each of these theories. The views concerning poisons and autointoxications have been vigorously attacked be cause there Is aa yet no definite proof that such a poison Is elaborated. There are already adversaries to the recent notions concerning the Increased pres sure of the spinal fluid and the fall of alcohol la the circulating blood, all of which Indicates that much work remains to be done before the final answer to the problem is reached." Out of the Ordinary Twice Told Tales Back to Plowing;. Into the room of the country editor came a bluff old farmer with his 18-year-old son. "I've come for a little Information, air," he said. hopefully. "I shall be delighted to do what I can for you," was the polite reply. "Well, this son of mine wants to go Into the literary business, and I thought you would be able to tell us if there waa any money In It. It's a good line. Isn't ItT" "T-e-es," replied the editor, hesitatingly. "I've been at It myself for a good many years, and" The farmer thereupon looked around at the shabby office, and then at the ahabbler editor.

Emptying box after box, the vendors deftly punched up one layer of the box bottom to a sharp angle pointed In the middle, propped It there with paper, and then refilled the receptacle, taking great care that the finest and freshest-looking berries should make a showy top covering. One of the spectators grew Indignant. "How la the world." he demanded, "do you expect to sell your wares when you openly show that they are not what they seem to be?"
