A Baby's Eyes

The Democratic Attempt to Capitalise Caminetti.
Could President Wilton's campaign managers
really believe they could make the bid for the
Italian vote whjch they are issuing through the
Italian papers without attracting outside atten
tion? No other explanation is plausible for this
appeal Which aska Italian-American citizens to
vote the democratic ticket in appreciation of the
appointment of Antony Caminetti to the position
of commissioner of immigration which he holds
under President Wilson.
How can the democrats hope to capitalize Mr.
Caminetti with the Italians without recalling the
disgraceful political scandal which startled the
country through the resignation of United States
District Attorney McNab of California at the out
set of the present democratic administration?
We need only quote the opening and a para
graph or two of the McNab telegram which went
from San Francisco to Washington in June, 1913,
addressed to President Wilson;
"I have the honor to tender my reaignation
as United States attorney for the northern dis
trict of California, to take effect immediately.
I am ordered by the attorney general, over my
protest, to postpone the trial of Maury I. Diggs
and Drew Caminetti, indicted for a hideous
crime which haa ruined two girls and shocked
the moral sense of the people of California.
This after I have advised the Department of
' Juatice that attempts have been made to corrupt
the government witnesses and friends of the de
fendants are publicly boasting that the wealth
and political prominence of the defendants'
relatives will procure my hand to be stayed
through influence at Washington.
"In bitter humiliation of spirit I am com-
wiled to acknowledge what I have heretofore
ndignantly refused to believe, namely, that the
Department of Justice is yielding to influence
which will cripple and destroy the usefulness
of this office. I cannot coifSent to occupy this
position as a mere automaton and have the guilt
or innocence of rich or powerful defendants
who have been indicted by unbiased grand
Juries on overwhelming evidence determined in
Washington on repreaentations in behalf of the .
; defendants without notice to me. Ii the de
partment in future haa to review the findings of
grand juries and nullify their indictments, then
this office might aa well be abolished, for Its
functions will havs ceased to exist."
, How can Antony Caminetti, as Woodrow Wil
son's commissioner of Immigration, be anything
but liability to the democratic campaign, even
with voters of Italian extraction. American citl
tens who have come from sunny Italy are, in the
vast majority, respectable and self-respecting
members of the community and they know aa well
as anyone that the Caminetti case served only to
discredit their people and bring upon them un
deserved humiliation. j
Had the present appeal to vote for .Wilson in
recognition of the Caminetti appointment been
made at the time this scsndal was fresh in their
minds, we are sure it would have been indignantly
resented and it ought to be resented just as in
dignantly now.
A California judge haa placed a valuation of
$25,000 on the eyes of a baby made sightless by
the carelessness of an attendant at the infant's
birth. Tbe parenta had brought suit sgainst
the latter, ana as the judge granted damages he
said: "A pair of baby's eyes are priceless. No
amount of 'money court could give, however
large, would compensate for the loss of this
baby's sight" For who csn tell what those
eyes might not have seen that until they looked
upon the world remained invisible? It is not
to be supposed that the monetary recompense
atones to the mother in her grief for the fact
that when her child is in her arms it is night
forever, and the little one cannot behold an
answering; countenance. A babv mav be to all
but the mother merely "an infant crying in the
night, an infant crying for the light, and with
no language but a cry." To the mother the
apeechless infancy extends the promise of great
future days, when the world shall pay homage
not to her, but to the child aha reared, for whom
she lived with a selfless devotion to the end
of her dsys.
A friend reminds The Bee that the pure food
laboratory of the Agricultural department has
been removed from the federal building in Omaha
to another city since Senator Hitchcock took of
fice. Well, we couldn't put It all into one car
toon, could we?
Who Made the Countries Prosperous?
While Wilson waa keeping the Scandinavian
countries, Holland, Switzerland and Spain out ol
war, did he make them prosperous,, too? For the
word comes from Stockholm that never in alt his
tory were Norway, Sweden and Denmark so pros
perous as now. Gold has poured Into these coun
tries in a steady stream, just as it has into
America, and prices have risen there, just as
they have here, and all the symptomatic evidence
of inflation are apparent there. In Denmark, for
example, the country la so flush that the gov
ernment refused $25,000,000 Jrom the United
States for the Danish West Indies, islands from
which thehome country has not received any rev
enue, and for which the price offered puts them
on the plsne of business lots in a populous city.
Does Mr. Wilson's benign and invigorating in
fluence extend over the Scandinavians, too., and
does he bless them in basket and store, as he does
us?.,
Cargo Brought by tha Deutschland.
Wo marvel at the intrepidity of Captain
Koenig, who has just brought the little Deutsch
land for a second time to an American harbor with
a cargo of merchandise from beleagured Ger
many. It is a feat of seamanship not belittled
by the fact that it ia the fruit of experience gained
by experiment. But the voyage has a deeper sig
nificance. When our supply source of dyes and
chemicals was cut off by closing the German
ports, much stirring about followed, and great pa
triotic enthusiasm flared up, as we declared ouf
intention of in the future providing for our own
needs out of our own materiala and by our own
acience and skill. But here comes the undersea
boat, filled with the expensive materials we are
just learning to make. Of course it's welcome,
and the cargo will find ready sale, but how will
that encourage home industry? If we are going
to make our own, why buy the German goods?
The incident Is typical of German foresight. For
years before the war the chemists of the Father
land controlled the industry for the world,-and
they do not propose to loosen that hold, even in
time of war, and when compelled to resort to
the use of submarine boats to carry on a trickle
of commerce that will keep the atream from dry
ing up. The viaita of the Deutschland are pro
phetic of the time when the Vaterland and other
giant liners may again sail the seven seas. Have
Americans learned the lesson, or will they leave
their gates unbarred and allow the European
manufacturers to exploit the richest market in the
world under democratic free trade laws? The
only sure way to avoid the unrestricted competi
tion of the foreigner is to elect republicans who
are pledged to give ample protection to Americas
lives, rights, commerce and industry.
tuat (or Blood Not Sport
Nebraska's laws, numerous as they are, do not
provide any meana for protecting wild animals
against the cruelty of man, and therefore the so
called "coursing" meets are held in apite of pro
teats from the humane. This practice ia the ulti
mate limit in the abuse of the word "sport." What
element of human nature is appealed to by the
apectacle of a timid rabbit, liberated in an en
closure, fleeing before pursuing dogs, whose nat
ural instincts have been sharpened by experience,
ia easily imagined. The game, if such it may be
called, doesn't elevate msn nor beast, for its only
effect is to accentuate the indifference, If no
worse attribute, of the one and the innate cruelty
of the other. Lust for blood ia not sport, and
"coursing" as practiced in aft enclosure lists with
bear-baiting and bull-fighting aa an entertain
ment - "
' Why I Am for Hughes
' Albert B. Camtnlna '
l alted atatea Senator from Iowa.
Within six months after the war in Europe
is at an end all the industries of the continent will
be working to their full capacity, if they can sell
what they are capable of producing. Their neces
sities will compel them to dispose of their prod
ucts at small profit, and, if necessary, with no
profit at all. The United States, with its 100,
000,000 population, with an abundance of capital,
will furnish the choicest markets in the world and
into it will fall the greatest volume of imports we
have ever known, unless we promptly adopt the
measures necessary to check the flood.
Let us examine for a moment the source of
the activity which now prevails in America. Dur
ing the year ended June 30, 1916, we exported
from our farms, mines and factories, commodi
ties of the value of more than $4,100,000,000. Con
verted into terms of labor and assuming a wage
of $3 per day, this means the employment in this
country of more than $4,000,000 men and women
throughout the year.
The increase as. compared with the largest
volume of exports prior to the war ia substan
tially $2,000,000,000. That this vast advance in
our export trade is due, to the war alone no honest
student of the subject will deny.
The moment this extraordinary demand ceases
the 2,000,000 American workers who have been
engaged in the production of these export com
modities will be compelled to find something else
to do, and it seems to me certain that, no matter
how carefully we guard ourselves against the
consequence of a restoration to conditions, we
wilt experience a shock that will seriously dis
turb ouc industrial and commercial life.
If we permit Europe to take possession of our
markets to any considerable extent, at the mo
ment it reduces its purchases, we will be the vic
tims of an overwhelming catastrophe.
There is but one thing which will hold the
American people harmless in the industrial con
flict in which we must shortly engage. There ia
but one defense upon which we can rely. It ia a
faif, reasonable, adequate, protective tariff sys
tem. 1
' If we do not dismiss the democratic adminis
tration and the democratic congress, with their
absurd destructive economic fallacies, and if we
go forward unarmed, and unprotected to meet
the danger which everybody knows we must en
counter, we will be guilty of the stupendous
folly.
. Whatever mistakes, in the way of legislation,
have been made can be and in the course of time
will be corrected, but there is one characteristic of
this administration which will leave a permanent
acar upon the institutions of the country. I pro
test against the usurpation of puwer by the chief
executive throughout the entire period in which
he haa held the office of president.
I utter a note of warning against the continu
ous and successful effort of Woodrow Wilson to
compel the majority of congress to do his bid
ding. Our forefathers intended that congress
should make the laws and that the president
should execute them.
Whatever may be said of toe weakness and
vacillation of the president in .dealing with foreign
nations, he is the pinnacle of courage and the last
word in persistency in dealing with the demo
cratic majority in congress. From the beginning
of his administration until the close of the last
session he has coerced and commanded his po
litical followers in congress until there is no
longer any spirit or independence among them.
Mr. Wilson has succeeded, through the influ
ence which attends the office of president, in ab
solutely controlling the majority in congress, and,
if he ia re-elected, he wilt continue in his career
of aubjugation until the legislative branch of the
government will be completely subordinate to
the executive command. v
During the whole of the administration1 of the
present, chief executlvt, I have been . close and
interested observer of events as they' transpired
from day to day, and there haanever beert any se
rious danger of war, assuming that other powers
were disposed to fulfill their international obli
gations'. - -.
I think that every real American must be con
scious that in some way, through some fault or
folly, the government of the United States does
not stand as high in the esteem of other govern
ments as it did when Woodrow .Wilson became
president and undertook the task of representing
us in our relations with foreign countries.- Some
how we have lost in a degree our reputation for
candor and courage, and we are too often likened
to Macchiavelli in design and to Talleyrand in the
acts of dissimulation. -
In my judgment there is some foundation for
this ill opinion and it ought to be the first great
desire of the open-hearted, open-minded people to
escape the disrepute which the president fastened
upon us snd to appear once more before the world
as a nation which thinks clearly, speaks plainly
and acts honestly. , , N .
' It is true we have kept out or war, but it is
too great a demand upon our credulity and com
mon sense to even suggest that an incisive, un
alterable demand for the observance of our in
ternational rights would have resulted in hostili
ties between this country and those already bur
dened with atl they could bear. To be kept out
of war is good, but it was not necessary that, in
order to preserve peace, the spirit of the Ameri
can nation should be humiliated and that coun
tries like Sweden, Norway, Holland and Switzer
land should find it necessary to accept the leader
ship in the struggle for neutral rights.
I do not charge the president with want of
patriotism or with evil purpose. He has done
exactly what a man of his training, disposition
and turn of mind was bound to do. It was just
as certain that he would be insolently truculent
toward congress in domestic matters and subserv
iently vacillating in our foreign affairs as it was
that he should act at all. The humiliating out
come is not to much his mistake as it was the
mistake of the people of this country in electing
him president.

Let tbe Senator Explain,

The Bee: Why i does not Senator

followers, discuss his relations to the
fAriaral law art A .hlnnlne Kill.
aa disclosed by the facts? In refer-1
ring to the federal reserve law they
talk about the amendments offered by
Hitchcock and adopted by the senate,
and the fact that he finally voted for
the bill. Why do they not tell the
democrats of Nebraska in Just what
way he supported President Wilson,
when for three months in the commit
tee on banking currency he opposed
the bill when It came from the house,
where It had passed by practically a
unanimous vote ot the democrats, and
opposed the bill as recommended by
the president and supported by the
democrats of the senate, and why he
stood with the republicans on the
committee in the senate for an amend
ment to the bill providing for a sin
gle central bank?
The central bank Idea was first pre
sented by Senator Aldrich and later
by Frank Vanderllp, president of a
Wall street bank. Senator Hltch
oock might explain how having been
beaten on the central bank Idea In
the committee he Joined the republi
can members of the banking and cur
rency committee In reporting a com
plete banking and currency bill aa a
substitute for the house bill which,
with certain amendments, was re
ported to the senats by the six dem
ocratic members of the banking and
currency committee. The substitute
bill reported to the senate by Hitch
cock and his five republican associates
provided for four federal reserve
banks, while the house bill supported
by President Wilson and the real dem
ocrats of the house and senate pro
vided for twelve federal reserve
banks, such as we now have.
Hitchcock's bill was beaten by the
democrats of the house and senate
under the leadership of Woodrow Wil
son. His attempt to Incorporate into
the law a provision for a central bank
was defeated by the Influence of the
president and the efforts of' the demo
crats In the eenate and house, and
then after his efforts to destroy the
bill In the Interest of Wall street, or
prevent any legislation on the sub
ject at all, had failed, he and his
friends now talk about his support of
President Wilson, and tell of his
amendments to the federal reserve
law and that they finally voted for It
Why does he not explain his three
months' fight before the committee
for a central bank, which was the Wall
street plan and the Wall street Idea
which the national platform of the
democratic party of 1912 specifically
denounced ? Why does he not explain
his reasons for Joining the five republi
can members ot the banking and cur

plete bill as a substitute for the bill
that finally passed with the hope and

of the class who graduated, the man
who ranked No. 1 was John l. Ken
nedy. He has ranked as No. 1 among
men for all the years since that time
and he will be In the front rank among
the members of the United States sen
ate in case of his election next Tues
day. The class from .which Mr. Ken
nedy and I came from has brought
forth governors of states, United States
senators, members of congress, numer
ous district judges and also supreme
judges and one United States Judge
and numerous county attorneys and
lesser officials, so that It has been a
very useful class to the people ot the
United States.
With the election of Hughes as
president which seems assured now,
we must see to it that John L. Ken
nedy Is sent to the senate and Judge
Baker to the house to uphold the
great business administration that is in
store for the people of the United
States under Hughes. With Kennedy
In the senate there Is no doubt that
Nebraska will fare well at his hands
and that no one will have greater In
fluence for tha state of Nebraska with
the ooming president than he will
have, ;i JJrtAiNJS. A. AUflUVIi
Just the Man for the Place.
Arcadia, Neb., Nov. 2. To the Edl.
tor of The Bee: As a constant sub
scriber snd reader of your paper dur
ing the last twenty-five years, I ask
apace to say a word regarding the
matter of university regents. This of
fice ought to be regarded as strictly
non-partisan In every particular. With
no remuneration or financial emolu
ments attached to It, the interests of
the voters Is In getting men who have
the capabilities necessary to success
fully fill the place and at the same
time a financial Independence that will
make It possible for him to give the
time needed to familiarise himself witl
the duties of the office and to Dis
charge the obligations growing out of
these dutlea
Such a man Is found in George
Seymour of Elgin, who is a candidate
at this election for this office.
His educational qualifications are
the best, as he Is a graduate of one of
the best colleges In the east. ' This
eastern training tempered through
thirty years or contact witn tne west,,
has given him breadth of vision that
will be invaluable to our university.
Couple this with the splendid success
which he has made in banking, stock
raising and farming and everyone will
appreciate how much the state will
gain by granting mm tne opportunity
of loaning his ability to the service ot
the state as regent. j
GEORGE JS. HASTINGS ,
Why They Want Holovtehlner's Scalp.
. Omaha, November S, To the Edi
tor of The. Bee: Dr. Holovtchlner
has asked' why the citizens' committee
eliminated his name and, two others
from the citliens' ticket. Kindly'al
low us spacs to answer.
The basis of the unheaval of two-,
years ago, which resulted in the eleo
tion " of every member on the eltisens'
ticket for the Board of Education,
was the alleged whitewashing of the
principal of the Omaha High School
of Commerce and the subsequent dls
missal of some and demotion of othe,"
teachers who testified against him A
the trial, after receiving assurancelk
from members of the Board of Educa js
tion that they would be protected andfl
their positions in no way affected iff
they should testify freely as to the"
facts. . '.. -
The people of Omaha have not for
gotten that Mr. Holovtchlner presided
at that trial and also voted tor the de
motion and dismissal of the teachers.
In view of these facts of record, his
olea now for fair play does not come
with very good grace, and It will not,
we think, be given much considera
tion. Dr. Holovtchlner and the other,
gentlemen mentioned in his letter
were holdover members two years
ago, but they are now up for re-election
and should be given to under
stand that the people are not ready
now to endorse what they condemned'.
by their votes two years ago.
Answering his second question,
"Why was there any need or neces
sity tor a so-called citliens' ticket?"
we say that the situation is critical, aa
the term of office of one-half of the
men elected two years ago will expire
January 1, leaving only four hold
overs. The citizens' committee was or
ganized for and is advocating the
election ot the citizens' ticket In or-"
der that these four holdover members
be given the support to which they
are entitled, and not be left In the mi
nority during the next two years. The
citizens' ticket ia composed of men
who command the respect and esteem
of all classes, and we can conscien
tiously recommend them on their
merits. M. A. HALL, !
Chairman Citizens' Committee.
