food for Mind and Body
Word comes from L6gansport that a news
paper editor of that thriving'city has abandoned
his. noble profession and opened a restaurant.
, This news will be received by other newspaper
men with what the novelists call mingled emo
tions.
- They will understand at once, of- course,
that the commercial prospect has been too great
a temptation. From their own experience with
restaurant checks they feel sure that profits
must be large and fortunes certain for those
who are in the business of feeding their fellow
men. They may even have a certain sympathy
with their former fellow journalist in his new
undertaking, and his local brethren, as a passing
thought, will hope that he will cater acceptably
to the fastidious editorial appetite.
The supplying of food for the body is an
honorable occupation; no editor will deny that,
but what editor will admit it compares with the
work of providing, sustenance for the mind?
What fair-minded person, even though not of
Jhe profession, can maintain that the man who
; serves thin soap at 25 or 30 cents and tough
steak at $1.75, which the best of restaurant men
will do sometimes,-is of as much service to bu
1 inanity as the newspaper editor who contributes
to the, mental welfare and enlightenment of his
fellow creatures material which is only occa
sionally thin, and never tough? Indianapolis

A DAY OF PORTENT.
This is the anniversary of the day on which
"Andy" Jackson and his riflemen won the battle
of New Orleans against the British veterans
under Packenham. As such it has some tig
nificance to patriotic Americans. It also has
been associated with the traditions of democ
racy, or to such of the professors of that pecu
liar political faith as pretend to draw their in
spiration and authority from the Hermitage
Just now it has a new and more Intriguing
portent.
Today word will come from the White
House that may or may not terminate the talk
of a third term. What Andrew Jackson would
have to say in regard to the topic is not of so
much interest as what Woodrow Wilson will
declare. The Baltimore platform specifically
denounced the idea of a third term thus:
We declare it to be the unwritten law of
this republic, established by custom and usage
for 100 years and sanctioned by the examples
of the greatest and wisest of those who
founded and have maintained our govern
ment, that no man should be eligible for a
third term of the presidential office.
Is this plan still unsplintered, and in binding
effect on the mossback party? Would Wood
row Wilson dare aspire to another four years
at the White House with this declaration of his
"party confronting him? Here is another sec
tion from the platform on which Mr. Wilson
first made the race and was elected:
We favor a single presidential term, and
to that end we urge the adoption of an
amendment ' to the constitution making the
president of the United States ineligible for
re-election, and we pledge the candidates of
this convention to this principle. .
. There the matter rests. Mr. Wilson accepted
the principle, but made the race a second time.
Mr. Bryan, who framed the Baltimore platform,
has taken rfo steps to secure the adoption of the
principle or the amendment proposed to the
constitution. The message from the ' White
House and the speech of Mr. Bryan at the din
ner in Washington tonight may clear tip the
mystery. '
Farmers and the Farm Experts.
The debate at the opening session of the
farmers congress turned largely on the ap
plication of scientific methods as opposed io
those of rule of thumb to farming. Conserva
tive farmers backed their, opinions as to what
is better for the industry against those of the
progressive element, and a really beneficial ex
change of views resulted. The danger to agri
culture is found in the condition where either
side may have full control. Ultraconservatism
means stagnation, while unwise experimenta
tion leads to disaster by another route. A com
bination of the two, in just and proper propor
tion, will achieve the end sought. , '
Farm methods are, improved by careful ap
plication of laboratory results, and these may
be taught by young men just out of agricultural
schools with as much effect as by men who
have reached the same knowledge by the slower
process of experience. In either case, if re
turns are to be increased, it must be because
better use is made of the land. This will only
follow when the farmer has a complete tinder
standing of all the elements of his problem.
The delegate who alleged that the expert
could not tell why one patch' of wheat did better1
than another in a drouth season might hava
carried his illustration a little farther, and asked
why one farmer is prosperous and another
alongside has a hard time to come out even.
The eounty agent is not able to explain or to
overcome these inequalities, but if he js worth,
anything at all, he can take to the fanners the
message of science as applied to agriculture,
and teach them ways by which they can en
hance their yield per acre, reduce the drudgery
and consequently swell the profits of success
ful farming.
If this were not so, all the investigation
carried on to demonstrate and develop new
seeds, new processes and protections, to
eliminate pests of various kinds, and to gener
ally advance the interests of the greatest of all
industries is wasted. Itis well to be conserva
tive, but no one gets ahead by standing still.
Hoover on Helping Europe.
A statement from Mr. Herbert Hooker, who
is as well acquainted with the material needs of
Europe as any man can be, concerning what is
necessary to enable the people over there to
get hack onto their feet will have great weight
with Americans. And Mr. Hoover says that
"outside of temporarily deferring interest
which has been clone America's task is re
duced to helping out the bread supply of less
than 5 per cent of the population of (Europe;
that no such situation exists as that which con
fronted America at this time1 last year, and that
there is no ground for hysteria on either side
of; the Atlantic." Another very important point
is touched squarely by Mr. Hoover: "The peo
ple of prosperous nations who have not suffered
with the war should also aid in European relief
work."
Americans voluntarily assumed the tremen
dous task of affording all relief the world
needed while the war was on, mainly because
our resources were greater and of easier access.
Now. that communication is unrestricted, no
good reason exists why some of the other coun
tries should not contribute proportionately to
the job. This is not selfishness on part o.f
Americans, but simple justice.
, . Order will be brought about in Europe more
speedily if it is made plain to the people there
that they must do something for themselves.
The anarchy and chaos complained of is largely
of their own making. Ignorance is at the bot
tom of it all, but hysterical sympathy and ill
advised charity will not remedy this. One great
lesson must- be learned by the millions of
Europe, and that is that no matter under what
form of government they live, the necessities
of life require labor to produce. "Unless a man
work, neither Shall he eat," is true for them as
it is for anybody.
Setting the city budget at $80,000 in excess
of expected income is a poor business way to
start the year. It may be true that all expen
ditures are necessary, but that is all the more
reason why income should be provided to meet
them. On the other hand, a private firm going
along on that basis would soon be in the hands
of the sheriff, and the city's affairs are not so
much different in this regard from those of its
citizens.
Persons who stood amazed as the fast mail
train sped by at forty miles an hour a few
years ago will admit the advance in methods as

Consistency
From Harvey's Weekly.
Senator Knox and Senator Hitchcock were
both quite consistent: the one was true to his
word in the introduction of hi resolution for
declaring peace; the other was similarly true to
his record in opposing that resolution. Each
was simply repeating his act of months ago.
This seems to be overlooked by those who af
fect to regard Senator Knox's resolution as a
new-fangled device. It is in fact a renewal,
mutatis mutandum, of one which he introduced
long ago, in advance of the negotiation of the
treaty and which Senator Hitchcock, being
then in power as a member of the majority
party, would not even permit the senate to con
sider. The two resolutions were aimed at ex
actly the same end. It is, therefore, absurd to
charge the latter one with being inspired by
opposition to the president, since it is in effect
a repetition of one which was framed before
anybody but himself knew what the president's
policy was going to be. -
In another sense Senator Knox's course was
marked with fine consistency. It recognized the
existence of what has fo;- a year been an indis
putable fact. It recognized the validity of the
treaty of Versailles far mora than do those who
oppose his resolution, for it provides that this
country shall recognize the restoration of peace
just as soon as three of the great powers shall
have deposited their ratifications of the treaty,
which is precisely what the treaty itself pro
vides. It leaves the acceptance of the details of
the treaty by the United States open for future
action without prejudice. It speaks definitely
for co-operation among the nations of the world
for the prevention of war by arbitration, me
diation or other peaceful means; for the uphold
ing and confirming of international law, and for
the reduction of armaments. It outlies a notably
coherent-and logical program, in precise accord
with American principles, and, we may add, with
the principles of the other most enlightened na
tions of the world.
In'his prompt, off-hand and matter-of-course
declaration against the resolution. Senator
Hitchcock was equally consistent. He did not
wait to analyze it. He entered into no discus
sion of it. He simply assumed that of course it
will he unacceptable to the president; and also
to Germany. Of course, Germany's refusal to
acquiesce in our course could not affect in the
slightest the going into force of the treaty be
tween her and the other powers. It could only
affect her relations with us. and, frankly Sen
ator Hitchcock to the contrary notwithstanding
we cannot persuade ourselves that she would
voluntarily doom herself to that non-intercourse
with America which we have been told would
be disastrous and even fatal to her. rather than
accept in that' form precisely the conditions
whicn we are told she would gladly accept in
another form. There are limits to human
credulity,
In in this Senator Hitchcock seema incon
sistent, it is merely seeming. He is consistent
in the highest sense, since he is consistent in
his inconsistency.. Moreover, he is notably con
sistent without inconsistency in his cocksure as
sumption that the resolution will be unaccept
able to the president. The fixed rule has been
from the beginning that anything would be un
acceptable to the president which so much as
itted an i or crossed a t in the sacrosanct
integrity of the covenant.

American Rhysique
Every now and then somebody comes alone
with something like this which is taken from
the columns of one of the best known American
newspapers:
Because the American girl doesn t eat
enough, because she doesn't guard her health,
because she doesn't get sufficient exercise, be
cause she is below the physical standard, she is
to blame, when she becomes the American
mother, for the faulty rearing of the babies of
the nation; she is to blame for the lack of
strength and vitality of the youth of the nation;
the generation which preceded her is to blame
for the bodily unfitness of one of every four
men called for service in the nation's armies."
It may be true that one out of everv four
men called for service in the war was rejected
because of bodily unfitness, but that was be
cause America, having an almost unlimited num
ber of men, was able to set the military physical
standards very high and still get more soldiers
than she needed. The American army was far
away better physically than any other army;
and after what America did in the war it would
be very hard to persuade any European, espe
cially any German who served on the western
front, that the physique of this nation is in

Dodge School Pays.
South Omaha. Jan. 4. To the
Rditor of The Bee: I read an article
in one of the papers on the old Jail:
also a short piece about the old
Dodge Street school. I wonder how
many women and men are there in
Omaha today that remember Prin
cipal Allen and his switch, also Miss
McElroy. I remember the time Miss
McElroy was sick for a couple of
weeks and they had two or three
teachers in her place. T missed the
fun the few days they had the First
grade teacher, as I was sick.
I often think of the Are we had in
1897 or 1898, when Offle Downs beat
his drum as the children marched
out. The San Francisco Sun sent
him a very nice medal. X also re
member the time Mr. Allen took the
seven knives away from the husky
colored boy and then threw him out
of the window. Mr. Allen almost
went too far one time. He had a
class of us after school one night
and made us put our feet on the
front seat while sitting on the floor.
He almost lost his Job for that trick.
The World-Herald gave a piano to
the schools about 1898 and, of
course, Dodge Street school got It.
I suppose some of the boys and
girls also remember the first time the
"Black Crook" show came to town
and left a couple of their girls In
Omaha; also they started to Dodge
Street school. J. B. PHELPS.
' Price of Eggs.
Omaha, Jan. 4. To the Editor of
The Bee: The letter appearing in
this department a few days ago from
F. A. Agnew of South Omaha con
cerning the price of eggs is Inter
esting, because it Is typical of the at
titude of many people. He is op
posed to high' prices and profiteer
ing In everything except eggs. He
has a few chickens himself, so I un
derstand, and presumably now and
then a few fresh eggs for sale, so he
can see no reason why people should
object to paying 90 cents or $1 per
dozen for eggs, but he is not inter
ested in the grocery, shoe or cloth
ing business and believes, therefore",
that drastic and vigorous measures
should be taken to reduce the prices
of those commodities. '

The Basket Ball Guard.

WDHEDID-
opponents to win if your defense is
so perfect they can't shoot any bas
kets. Some teams are coached in what
is known as the five-man-defense-game,
in which every man on the
team plays a purely defensive game
as soon as the opponents get the
ball. But on the typical team the
bulk of the defensive work is done
by the guards.
A guard should be fast so that
he can cover his opponent quickly.
He must be able to start quickly
and stop quickly. If he starts
slowly, his opponent will be away
with the ball before he can get to
him and if he stops slowly, he will
be liable to over-rush or over-jump
his opponent and thus give him a
free shot at the basket. A guard
should not be clumsy. Clumsiness
leads to fouling which is one of the
main things to be avoided. A guard
should develop the ability to inter
cept passes and get rid of the ball in
a quick, accurate pass. A held ball
making necessary a jump play in
guard territory is a mighty danger
ous thing.
The stationary guard plays back
under the basket rarely going out
from it farther than seven yards.
He should stay between his nearest
opponent and the basket. Thus he
is in a position to beat him in get
ting rebounds and to prevent follow-up
shots. Also, he can meet
the speedy opponent coming into
the basket for a short shot. In this
manner, he forces his opponents to
take long shots. Then it becomes
his duty to rush and hurry the long
shooter in his territory. His duties
require him to be big and husky
with a long reach and jumping abil
ity.
The floor guard should have
speed, endurance and ability to run
the floor. He must be clever at
dribbling, dodging, and shooting
baskets. He plays the ball rather
than his territory or his man, al
though he must cover one of the
opposing forwards when the ball is
in the possession of the opponents.
He digs the ball out of dangerous
territory and dribbles or passes it
into his forward territory. He tries
for a basket whenever the oppor
tunity presents itself, thus making
the fourth possible scoring man on
his team.

or snows. I can keep healthy ; :iy
how." So saying, the Up-to-the-Minntc
Athletic Girl opened her bedroom
window and began her morning ex
ercises. First, with hands straight
at sides, she raised and lowered her
self on her toes 20 times. Then she
raised her hands high over her, head
and, without bending knees, brought
her finger tips down to the floor

Then she tried a Floor Push-Up.
First position: Flat on floor, face
down, palms of hands on floor at
sides, arms bent. Second position.
Body raised straight from floor,
palms of hands, balls of feet and
toes touching floor, arms straight.
The body is raised up and down by
force of the arm and shoulder mus

bending back, keeping body rigid,
and should be performer! from five to
-'0 times, depending upon the gill.

Brother Bob and father and mother
flat on their backs with arms against
sides, raising their legs straight in
the air without touching their hand;
to the floor. A simple enough ex
ercise, but really more difficult than
it looks. Brother Bob and the Ath
letic Girl can bend their legs until
the toes touch the floor back of their
heads. Mother and father are try
ing hard to do the same thing. Fa-

ther says. "If every person would
do this little stunt several times
everv Hay there would be no siclt
bodies."
Exercising indoors does not hava
the snap and dash of outdoor fun,
hut it is muscle building and health
giving and it furnishes as valuable:
a chance for intensive training ni
formal gymnastics.
