A 100 per cent increase is impending in the

long ago an American syndicate had underwrit
ten the Brazilian government, which was carry
ing an untold number of millions' of bags of
coffee on which' it had guaranteed ihe price.
Some folks may think it odd, also, that only the
coffee trees suffered. To a man up a tree, it
looks like the coffee dealers want the money.
Pointing the Way
A nation that gains the lead in general pros
perity will always be studied as a pattern by
other nations. A country standing ahead of
others in the well-being of its citizens is an ob
ject lesson to other countries. There must be
reasons for the leadership, and the causes are
sought by all who take a serious interest in the
methods and results of government The United
States holds this position and serves as a
model whether it wants the conspicuity or not
It has not been the ambition of this nation to
upset other nations or meddle with their estab
lished forms of authority. We made our. own
choice and fought it through to a firm basis,
not as mere disturbers, but as exponents of hu
man liberty, a broader yet still ordered free
dom. The outcome is that the United States
ranks first in many important respects, only one
of which is 'material wealth. We have not been
militaristic, yet proved stronger than Germany
in a supreme test of armaments. We lead in,
agriculture, the foundation of industries. In
invention we are foremost and surpassed by
none in commercial enterprise. We have ' just
been tested in patriotism and can feel pro
foundly gratified with the universal response of
oiir men and women.
In the light of these facts, our course at the.
conference table in behalf of a lasting righteous
peace is of high significance.', Th most power
ful nation is doing its utmost to substitute arbi
tration for war, to cut down armaments, to
' avert haste and curb passion in the intercourse
of governments and races. Imperialism -has
been beaten to its knees! and. there will be . no
more of it with the .consent of this country.
By maintaining a sound example the United
States can do incalculable good in the great
period now opening. St. Louis Globe Demo-

JUBILEE OF THE GOLDEN SPIKE.
Fifty years ago today, at Promontory Point,
Utah, was driven the golden spike, denoting the
completion of the railroad from the Missouri
river to the Golden Gate. , Omaha and San Fran
cisco had been linked by steel at last, and a new
epoch in American commerce was begun. Since
that memorable day, eight other lines have been
completed across the continent, each carrying
its full proportion of the wonderful prosperity
that sprung from the event of May 10, 1869.
The day is well recalled by millions of Amer
icans, who know how the popular imagination
was fired by the "meeting of the locomotives"
far away in that country of the wilderness. .The
race of the construction crews, the dangers and
difficulties overcome by the builders, and all the
novelty that attached to the enterprise, then
'thought too big to be undertaken without gov
ernment aid, were familiar to the public, but the
future of the region then penetrated was not
so well guessed. One is tempted to recall the
venturesome prophecy then made by an en
thusiastic Omahan that by this time the city
would have 30,000 inhabitants.' He. lives today
to see it with over 200,000.
Interesting history clysters around the Union
Pacific Its building was an enterprise worthy
of American daring, its development an achieve
ment Of American genius, its perpetuation a
monument to the engineering skill and technical
ability of the men who selected the route that
fifty years of careful search has not equalled.
As a highway of commerce, it is unexcelled; as
an agent of progress, its service will never be
wholly measured. .."..
Today at Promontory Point, no longer on
the main line, a group of distinguished men will
gather to commemorate the jubilee of the
Golden Spike. They will celebrate thus a half
century 'of expansion that has turned a wilder
ness into an empire and wiped the "Great Amer
ican Desert'' off the map, substituting therefor
the richest food producing region in the world.
Omaha, in spirit at least, will join in the exer
cises out in Utah this day.
Critic of the Peace Treaty.
One of the strongest endorsements the treaty
of peace has yet had, on superficial reading of
its synopsis as given out, is that extremists find
it unsatisfactory. It was not expected that the
Germans would give it instant approval; they
still suffer from the bias of self-pity, the affec
tion that drove them to persist in war long
after the outcome was hopelessly forecast, and
therefore will not appreciate the clemency that
is, shown them. French opinion is repressed,
because it finds in the document no magic to
restore France to its prewar prosperity. That
aim1 is only to be realized through years of
patient, productive effort Great Britain affords
the interesting spectacle of socialists and tories
in' common objecting to the terms granted Ger
many and the program laid out for the rest of
the world. The privileged classes of England
see the end of their privileges, and the radicals
at the other end rail at the treaty because it
does not' establish soviet government All of
these objections will incline the majority of
men to believe the work of the conference has
been well done. Durable peace is a relative
term, and if the agreement reached at Paris
brings any approach to tranquility through a
reasonable number of years, it is all that can
be looked for. Progress of the race will con
tinue along much the same lines it has followed
through the ages, but more swiftly, perhaps, be
cause such complaints as are heard can be
raised without danger to the objectors.'
Commune and Needed Labor.
Failure of the Munich commune is ascribed
by One of the learned professors who engaged
in its ebulition to the fact that no one Would
work. ' Is not that the object of a commune, to
do away with work? When the workers run
the world, who will be found to do the chores?
In Petrograd, Moscow, and a few other blessed
havens of the bolsheviki, an occasional bour
geois or intellectual has been preserved and set
at some one or another of the menial tasks, but
not enough of them to keep the cities clean.
Therefore the cities are not cleaned. Under the
ministration of the commune, one man is as
good as another, if he happen to be equally
ignorant and brutish, and none can say to his
fellow, "Cornel" and he will come, or "Go 1" and
he will go. No man has power over another,
unless it be that of a worker over a capitalist,
in which case all bets are off. Not having a
sufficient supply of capitalists to man the jobs,
the work has stopped, for where would any
good come from the revolution if the over
throwers had to go right on working just the
same as if they had not established the new
freedom? - What really is needed to make the
commune a glittering success is some arrange
ment that will automatically produce and pre
pare the food, provide the clothing, furnish
luxuries and clear away the refuse. Perhaps
the intelligentsia might have supplied this, but
they, too, have gone With the bourgeoisie and
other things of the capitalist regime into the
discard. So the commune fails because no one
Can be found to carry on even the little bit of
work needed to make it a success.
Pennies Paying War Bills. ; , f
- .Omaha in common with the rest of the coun
try is beginning to realize that not all the war
debt is being discharged through big subscrip
tions to the Victory, loan. Uncle Sam's tax
gatherers took into account the dollar and his
lordly associates, but they did not overlook the
humble penny. , In fact, they laid such stress on
the Cent-piece, adding one here and two there to
the purchase price of all manner of things sold,
that business is just now swamped in a swirling,
stream of copper coinage, all headed for the
coffers of the general government there to be
transmuted into big bills for-the-payment of
public obligations. In this way the plain people
are reminded that a more or less inconsiderate
congress was looking more, to the raising of rev
enue than to the methods by which it was pro
duced. Taxes are burdensome,, even when laid
with the lightest touch, affording an irritating
evidence of the existence somewhere of an or
ganized government, which must have money
to keep going, but the penny collections ire
more of a nuisance than a source of pride to
the public The next revenue bill may be re
vised in this particular. : v , .', "" -,'

The Future of Medicine
From the London Times.
Yesterday the British Medical association
concluded the. most successful meeting in its
annals. About the ''atmosphere of this unpre
cedented gathering there can be -no mistake.
It was one of serene and reasoned confi
dence in the future. The wisest leaders,, who
are also the most assured prophets, of the pro
fession well know that it will not be given to
them to enter the promised land which they see
from afar. But they have stood upon the
mountain tops and they have gazed upon it.
That is enough. They will draw nearer to it;
others who will .follow will cross its borders
and continue the advance. None can set bounds
to it, for it is infinite as the progress of human
learning. This sense of its vastness, of its
mystery, of its endless possibilities was the key
note of the meeting. The doctors realize that the
war has opened o them a new world, and that
it will be their high privilege to be able to
apply to their fellowmen for all time the great
store of new learning they have harvested on
the battlefields of three continents. We cannot
pretend to review in this place the great number
of instructive papers and discussions which
have filled these busy days. Some idea of them
will have been gathered from the reports and
articles by our medical correspondent which we
have published. But the general trend and
spirit of the proceedings are sufficiently illus
trated by the president's opening address. Like
Sir Douglas Haig, Sir Clifford Allbutt had no
new principles to announce. What he did was
to restate with striking force and clearness
some old principles, which occasionally appear to
sink out of sight, and to show how they irradi
ate and inform whole masses of new facts. He
' does not hesitate to speak of the present as "the
greatest moment in tne nistory ot medicine,
or of the revelation to us that medicine has
"come to a new birth." B,ut when all is said
and done, when all the magnificent examples of
discovery nd of interrelation have been describ
ed and arrayed, the widest and the most funda
mental conclusion reached goes back from gener
ation to generation to Coleridge, to Dante, and
to the school men, to the greatest of Greek
thinkers. Coleridge insisted upon the interre
lation of all knowledge, and invented the
term "esemplastic" to describe it "All things,"
wrote the great Florentine, "have order be
tween them," and he declares that in this order
lies the "form" which makes the universe like to
God and which angels see the impress of His
power. The thought runs through the Di
vine Comedy, and guides him- through the
"gran mar dell' essere," as it does his master,
Thomas Aquinas. How does it differ from the
law laid down by Sir Clifford Allbutt, when he
tells us that "as the individual is but a link in
the chain, so the human chain is a strand in
the web of all living things." Our work, he
says, must be upon Aristotelian "double track"
of the one into the many, and of the many into
the one. .
The principle is old, but the facts which have
to be brought under it are overwhelming in their
number and in their novelty. The war has added
to them enormously, and has suggested complex
systems of interrelation unsuspected before, be
sides affording incontrovertible proofs of truths
seen but dimly until now. It is this seemingly
endless progress upon lines known and establish
ed which makes medicine so fascinating to the
scientific imagination. What can be more won
derful than some of the facts mentioned in this
address; what more stimulating than some of
the unsolved problems on which it touches? Sir
Clifford dwells upon the light which modern
physics throw upon medicine. He instances the
electric methods of taking quantitative measure
ments of mechanical pressures in the circula
tion of the fluids of the body and in the heart,
and he comes to the conclusion that all biologi
cal reactions are determined by molecular
structure. Above physics comes biology, but
"we cannot even guess at the links of "the
chains where physics recede and biochemistry
takes the lead. Merely to glance at the .ques
tions presented to us, he declares, is to discern
"how vast is the realm of knowledge yet un
conquered nay, undiscovered." The tiny cell
itself is a microcosm full of intense activities,
which are beginning to emerge into the light
through the labor of the mathematical physicist,
of the spectroscopist, of the radiologist, and of
the physical chemist
How are those new and vast worlds to be
explored, and the knowledge of them adapted
to the welfare of man? This is the practical
problem. The yarn of biochemistry and bi
ology, Sir Clifford says in a fine image, must
be continually carried and woven into the web
of the practicing doctor's iart. It is impossible
'for any man in practice, whatever his abilities
and his industry, to perform the .work for
himself. He cannot by his unassisted efforts
keep pace with the great tide of fresh learning
that is sweeping in upon him. There must be
some intermediary between the working doc
tor and . the men devoted to laboratory re
search some middlemen, some liaison officers
to keep them in touch and the investigator,
be it remembered, needs this touch as much
as does the practitioner; the bedside and the
laboratory must work hand in hand, if either
is to derive the fullest fruit from the inter
rogation of nature. Sir Clifford is clear that
in every good clinical school there ought -to
be a body of whole-time professors with fully
equipped laboratories and staffs, who should
be "continually irrigating the profession from
the springs of the pure sciences." In that
way or in another, the problem must be
solved, if English medicine is to keep its un
surpassed position in the world.
True Happiness
Edmund Burke said: "Taking the whole view
of life it is more safe to live under the juris
diction of severe and steady reason than under
the empire of indulgent but capricious fashion."
It is not likely that Burke's doctrine is much
followed in these days of excitement and
pleasure. There is a strong revolt against
"severe and steady reason" whenever one looks
about him. Pleasure seems to be the dominant
aide in all the activities which one encounters
Happiness is not understood and really it is the
only good. A man who is not happy has gone
astray; he is not religious, nor educated, nor
patriotic, nor helpful to society. His body is
taking a long journey and leaving his soul be
hind. - A world of materialism does not under
stand this. There is much regret behind our
sensual joys. Burke understood this better
than we do. Lives are better built on the idea
he expresses. Ohio State Journal. ...

I M.. ft You are scarcely fair
to the War department or to The
Bee. We have no interest In provid
ing "alibis" tor the army authorities,
but base our replies to questions on
information furnished from Washing-ton.
It Is not true that the sol
diers are being needlessly detained
in Europe. On the contrary, every
effort is being made to get them
back to this country as rapidly as
possible. Ope day this week a'
large transp6rt was on its way back
to America with 2,800 troops on
board inside of six hours after it
reached Brest That surely is swift
enough. The return of many sol
diers has been delayed for want of
transport; others are In the supply
service and can not be spared until
the combat units are moved, and
others in casual camps, where they
must be organized into groups for
return, and then take ship when
space is provided. All this takes
time, but the work is being carried
forward with all possible speed. It
is not possible for ua to give in
formation as to the movements of
an Individual soldier. Write to the
adjutant general, Washington, D.
C, for word as to your son's where

advise you to write to the adjutant

Mrs. E. C The 16th balloon com
pany is in the service of supply, with
the headquarters of the Fourth army
corps, and consequently is in the
army of occupation. Its address is
A. P. O. 775, which Is at corps head
quarters, at Schwelch. It is not
known when this army will be with
drawn from Germany. Write to the
adjutant general of the army for in
formation concerning an individual
soldier. Affidavits asking for the im
mediate release of a soldier should
be sent to the commander of his
company. Casual companies are
made up of men who have been 'de
tached from regular units for va
rious reasons; they are used for re
placement purposes, or to organize
these men Into group for adminis

Mrs. M. McM. -The 41st com

yet been given a sailing date, but
will very likely be sent home short
ly; a considerable number of the
men who were with the 20th in the

have been sent back, and the rest
will not be held long after the cut
ting of timber has stopped.

part of the army of occupation, and
no time has been fixed for its return
to America. It is attached to the

combat units is made up to the end
of June, and comprises all the com
bat units save those held in the
army of occupation, and the 36th,
81st and 88th; these will very likely
be announced shortly. Mr. Baker
says he hopes to have the army all
out of France by August, which
means ail but the army in Germany
will be on the way home. The 88th

The Geography Lesson.
SPRING fever was lnthe air. The
schoolroom was warm and
drowsy, and Peggy had the hardest
time trying to keep her blinking
eyes open as Smiling Teacher ex
plained the lesson in geography.
Smiling Teacher's real name was
Miss Barton, but she was so cheer
ful and had such a pleasant way of
making them want to learn the
things she tried to teach them that
among themselves they called her
Smiling Teacher.
Today Peggy found geography a
br. dull. Perhaps that , was because
she felt dull herself. Anyway, she
had the hardest kind of a time keep
ing her mind on Africa and the Sa
haha desert when she wanted to
wander far away into sleepyland.
Apparently Smiling Teacher not
Iced this, for presently she turned to
Peggy with a question: v (
"Would you like to go to Africa,
Peggy?"
"I would rather go there than
study about it on a hot day," answer
ed Peggy truthfully. '
'.'Well, when you study your geog
raphy lesson in the right way you
can take wonderful trips to fara
way lands," declared Smiling Teach
er. "Come with me and I will show

Too Easy On Criminals.
Omaha, May 1. To the Editor of
The Bee: I'll admit in advance
that it is not in good taste to be
continually criticising our brothers
of the legal fraternity, but such
strange proceedings cannot but
bring about a word of censure. For
instance, the city of Omaha has gone
to an immense expense to procure
the braniest and shreudest men of
the country to assist in bringing to
Justice that class of criminals that
has been driven from our neighbor
ing cities and our boys have been
very successful in bringing many of
them within the meshes of the law.
But honestly, do our policemen get
the encouragement and assistance
from th-; higher authorities that they
deserve? I should say no, emphati
cally no. Is It doing Justice by our
boys who have to jeopardize their
lives to take criminals who have
been caught red handed in perform
ance of crime, as In the "Stroud"
Instance where there was not a
shadow of doubt connected with the
affair. Is it becoming a judge after
pronouncing sentence, say from one
to 10 years at hard labor, and while
commenting on the youthfulness of
the culprits in the next breath, by
good behavior the sentence can be
reduced to seven months. Can it be
possible that a man reaching his
majority in control of his natural
faculties has not sufficient judgment
to know better than a man up at
point of revolver aa in the Stroud In
cident Would it not be In better
taste to let the culprit think he was
to serve the full 10 years, and later,
if his conduct was deserving of a
reduction of sentence, it would be
plenty time to act not to tell him
in advance that seven months would
be about the limit? Why this is
simply a good resting spell with grub
thrown in and only encouraging of
crime. ' i
' And in 10 months of a year the
same thing has to all be gone over
again and probably murder added.
Mr. Stroud may consider himself
very fortunate that he got away so
easily and his anatomy unpunctur
ed. In conclusion, I favor In young
boys and children, but adults steep
ed in crime as these dare- devils has
proved to be, I would leave them
long enough In the pen to think
the matter over and in a measure to
convince that Omaha Is getting
value received from her noble po
licemen. - JAMES HALE.

Teacher took Peggy by the hand
and led her out into the aunahlne.
She placed the geography on the
lawn and turned to Peggy. "Now,
hop In and we will take a glorious
goography mind tour."
"Hop in what?" asked Peggy In
surprise.
"Hop in the geography," laughed
Smiling Teacher. And lo, and behold,
the geography was growing and
changing right before Peggy's- eyes.
In a trice it had become a beautiful,
powerful airplane. The body was a
luxurious cabin, all of glass, while
the wings were the wide-spreading
covers of the geography.
Peggy climbed Into the cabin and
seated herself in a comfortable wick
er chair. Smiling Teacher joined her,
and touched a button. The geogra
phy plane, therefore, rose gracefully
into the air.
Looking to see who was guiding
the queer flying ship Peggy saw an
aviator In leather suit perched out
In front. Something about the avia
tor's back waa familiar, but it wasn't
until the book machine was high In
the air and headed toward the east
that the aviator turned around and
grinned at her, It was Billy Belgium
"Look down, Peggy." said Smiling
Teacher. "There is New York from
which great ships sail to foreign
climes. Beyond the Atlantic ocean.
We are going hundreds of miles a
minute and already are in sight of
the Azores those beautiful islands
ycu see to the south. Beyond, hun
dreds of miles are the straits of Gi
braltar. On one side is Spain in Eu
rope. On the other side Is Morocco in
Africa. The straits, you know, con
nect the Atlantic ocean with the
Mediterranean .sea, which the an
cients used to think was the middle
of the earth. Now we are heading
southward over northern Africa,"'
"And what's that great, flat,
sandy place?" asked Peggy, as they
came to a waste space that extended
as far as the eye could reach.
"Why this is the Sahara Desert,"
answered Smiling Teacher.
"And we'll have to land there,"
shouted Billy through a speaking
tube. "My engine has become so hot
it isn't working."
"Try to get us to an oasis," cried
Smiling Teacher anxiously. "If we
land in the sand we may perish ot
thirst and starvation."
With a splutter and a gasp the en
gine stopped. But still the geography
plane glided on, Billy trying to
reach a small green spot that stood
out in a sea of sand like an Emerald
Island
A roar, like distant thunder, came
