All the democratlo federal pie brigade and

are billed to attend the coming lore feaat at Lin

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

Memories of past wars are so thoroughly

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.

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."
