THRIFT AND ITS USES.
"A pin t day is a groat a year, and a six
pence saved is a shilling clear," sang Poor
Richard in his Almanack. Today is the anni
versary of the author of Poor Richard and his
homely maxims, and as such ushers in a week
to be devoted to the inculcation of habits of
thrift among Americans.
It is not strange that such a divergence
should exist between the times of old Ben
Franklin and today. Then the scanty luxuries
of life were for the-few, and the frugal ex
istence' of the many gave easy emphasis to the
exhortation from the prudent. Franklin him
self affords the standard illustration of the bene
fit of applying his advice. It was by thrift that he
attained to the competency which sustained his
eminence as a philosopher and his usefulness as
a statesman. Life is easier now than then. It
moves more swiftly, perhaps, but only because
its wheels are better greased. But the necessity
of saving has never been outgrown, no matter
if the habit seems to have fallen into disuse.
Thrift does no't mean parsimony, nor is the
economical man or woman necessarily a miser.
Careful management of the family income, to
the end that each week finds something of a
surplus over ordinary expenditures laid aside
L against any emergency, is only the wise eourse
pursued by the experienced business man, and
is the only'way open to success. A savings ac
count is an insurance against want, and what
may not be postponed until old age. Accident
or disease may thrust in at any time to inter
rupt or terminate the productive activity of
any individual. Recognition of this fact aids
many to the goal of safety
So many avenues for savings are open, along
which the careful may move to comfort, that
choice may bewilder at first. Choose one arid
follow it. . You may have to deny yourself
something you want, but nothing you need. In
the end you will be better off, for your accumu
lations, no matter how small, when combined
with others will provide a tremendous aggregate
to be used in carrying on the wonderful enter
prises in which the nation is engaged.
The uses of thrift are unlimited,, while its
practice is not difficult when once adopted. Nor
will legitimate business .suffer because the peo
ple have commenced to save. More important
than all other considerations, the future safety
of the nation and the world depends on the
thrift of each individual citizen. Just as waste
and extravagance is checked and production in
creased so will the devastation of the war be
repaired and civilization restored. Work and
save is the only remedy, and should be the only
gospel.
Nebraska's Educational Institutions.
The constitutional convention is now deal
ing with one of the really vital points that may
come before it, that of public education. Noth
ing has played a greater part in the develop
ment of the "commonwealth than its public
schools. No state more munificently endowed
its common schools, and none has contributed
more liberally to their support. Nebraska has
been a leader in many of the enlightened ways
of providing for the instruction of the young.
This record is not only occasion for pride, but
is the best possible argument Tor the perpetua
tion of the system. .
Our schools should not be put into a strait
jacket. The simplest possible provision to es
tablish the free and unrestricted training of the
children of the state at the public cost, as it
now exists, -with no possibility of outside in
terference or control from any source whatso
ever is all that should be put into the constitu
tion. As the future indicates fhe need, laws
may be enacted for carrying out this obligation.
Uniformity in school practice is desirable,
in some regards advantageous, but something
of danger may be discovered in any plan that
seeks to lay down a permanent pattern and re
quire all to Conform to it. Such means of re
striction will surely react against the schools.
Development is possible only where freedom
for the working out of individual ideas is
present
Safeguard the fundamental requirements of
the. splendid system that permits the child born
in Nebraska to travel the- way of learning from
the kindergarten to the degree of doctor with
out cost or tuition. Make very sure that, this
can not be disturbed, and let the methods re
main subject to statutory regulation. ' Then the
schools will always be in the hands of the peo
ple, their greatest and most'sacred care after
the -preservation of the government itself.
Views and Reviews
Just a Word Personal to Nail
A Couple of Lies.
The recent announcement that I had ac
cepted an offer to take over my interest in The
Bee has naturally caused a flutter of comment.
As I said in that announcement, the prospect of
relinquishing the direction of the paper carries
a deep regret in the thought of severing the con
stant communication with my readers, and a
more keen regret over the eventual dissociation
from the loyal and faithful workers who have
helped get out the paper from day to day, who
would go any lengths for me and for whom I
have a lasting affection, far beyond the business
relationship.
Our amiable contemporaries have so often
kindly sold The Bee for me that they seem to
have been themselves shockingly surprised at
the actual sale. It was to be expected that they
would indulge in all sorts of fantastic specula
tion. Professional courtesy, unfortunately, has
been sadly lacking in the attitude of these
papers toward me, but I am happy to note that
only one of them indulged in the extreme of
lying on this occasion. My personal affairs are
nobody's business but my own, and I doubt
whether other people care anything about them,
but, inasmuch as the matters are of public
record, and the misrepresentations are so
flagrant, I think it better to correct them right
here, so my friends may have the truth.
The Will to Give
' Roughly, it cost the United States govern
ment $325,000,000 to build the Panama canal.
This sum included $20,000,000 for sanitation
and $7,500,000 for administration. When this
' great enterprise was undertaken 15 years ago
other peoples of the world marveled at it as
something that seemed too big even for this
rich country to take up itself financially. Mil-
Kns of our own citizens wrinkled their brows
tC wondered if we were not "biting off" more
' than we could chew."
In the light of events of the last three years
flow very much . less impressive, financially
'..peaking, has the building of the canal become.
This brings us to an interesting comparison. In
.ess than three, years the American people
nave contributed outright to the Red Cross in
cash and raw or manufactured supplies as much
' is the Panama Canal cost to. build. There was
no dependence on bonds, no deferred payments
' as we understand such payments in term of
bonds. -
It goes to show what a well-to-do people
can do with a very small measure of sacrifice
when they set their minds and hearts to it . The
Red Cross symbolized, of course, a . common
cause sround which a unified purpose could
rally. It required that kind of cause and pur
pose o achieve the end sought.
The American spirit never so well expressed
itself as during its war stress period. It would
be a great thingjf some peace-time equivalent
could te found and equivalent that would keep
the soul of the country registering at its best
Something of the sort is desirable for its character-building
and ethics-tempering virtues.
Minneapolis Tribune,
A Terrible Charge.'
Nothing more shocking has come out in con
nection with the war than is contained in the
startling statement made by Admiral Sims to
the senate's subcommittee. If it be true that
he was told we "would as soon fight the, British
as the Central Powers," after our country had
solemnly declared war on Germany and sum
moned every man and pledged every dollar of
our wealth to our associates in that war, it is
such an act of premeditated treachery as is not
charged even against Germany. Americans will
be slow to believe that even so partisan an ad
ministration as that of Mr. Daniels could be
guilty of such double-dealing, but they will also
fail to comprehend how a gallant naval officer,
as Admiral Sims has proved himself to be,
could make such an assertion unless it has foun
dation. Mr. Baker's nonchalant explanation,
when chided for apparent dilatoriness that "the
war is 3,000 miles away," is pale Ind harmless
compared to this terrible charge. Bring out
the truth 1
The assertion that my father "left his sons
several hundred thousand dollars of life insur
ance" is a deliberately-concocted fiction. When
my father died he carried life insurance policies
totaling $291,500, face, some of which went to
designated beneficiaries (none to me). Deduct
ing these and the policy loans left $158,609,
which was paid to his estate. His will provided
that this money should be applied against the
debts he ,had contracted, -chiefly borrowing for
the erection of the Bee building, and that any
excess of debts should be assumed equally by
his two sons, leaving the other heirs free of
them. Carrying out his intention fully, as ex
ecutor, I took my inheritance subject to an in-
Ldebtedness of $30,000 as my half, which, I am
happy to say, has been long since paid off, prin
cipal and interest, dollar for dollar. So much
for the insurance money myth.
The suggestion of the same liar that our
agricpltural paper was sacrificed by me likewise
calls for contradiction. The old Weekly Bee
was converted into the Twentieth Century
Farmer in the year 1900, and for 15 years, with
the possible exception of one or two years, was
not a paying proposition. In addition to the
carrying charge, we invested a lot of money in
machinery for its "production and held the ma
gazine property on our books for $55,000, at
which figure my brother tried to dispose of it.
I finally brought it up on a profit basis for two
consecutive years and, having come to the
conclusion that the field would be excellent for
one agricultural weekly, but precarious for two,
sold it on time for $92,500, or nearly $40,000
more than we would gladly have taken two
years before, to be merged with the Nebraska
Farmer, for which I had made a counter offer
of $100,000. The terms of the sale are recorded
in the court house.
Ordinarily I would not devote space to this
subject, but I do not want my friends to be
laboring under delusions from my neglect to en
lighten them.
Another Nebraskan whose name is written in
the histories has passed on with the death of
Charles E. Magoon, who was the first to pre
side over the bureau of insular affairs after the
United States acquired colonial possessions, and
who later becajne successively civil governor
of the Canal Zone, minister to Panama, and
provisional governor of Cuba. Physically Mr.
Magooa was a magnificent specimen of man
hood, a big man in every way, dignified, impos
ing, just the kind of a man to make the right
impression of authority upon the inhabitants of
a southern republic like Panama or Cuba ac
customed to look up to an over-lord and to
measure him by his superiority to themselves.
Magoon, though born in Minnesota, came to
Nebraska as a boy, studied at the University of
Nebraska and in the law office at Lincoln of
the late Charles O. Whedon. He had to make
his own way. He dabbled in politics a little bit,
took a. few handouts around the legislature and
essayed newspaper work. I have a letter of
his of these way-back days offering to serve as
an undisclosed correspondent of The Bee, with
inside state house news and information, for
the lucrative sum of $10 a month. It was
through the personal favor of Senator Thurs
ton and Lieutenant Governor Meiklejohn, who
had been made assistant secretary of war, and
perhaps also of Charles G. Dawes, who stood
high in the McKinley administration, that Ma
goon was called to Washington at the con
clusion of our war with Spain, and installed as
law officer of the bureau of insular affairs,
created then and still a part of the War depart
ment He filled this place most acceptably, al
though the target for quite a few snafts evoked
by one of his reports. Responding to a sum
mons to investigate and explain the authority
of the department in our newly-acquired ter
ritory in the Philippines, and to what extent the.
limitations of the federal constitution applied,
he presented a document indicating that the
islands had come under the constitution sub
stantially as was the area in our western ter
ritories. This report was later withdrawn by
Magoon and another substituted and accepted
by the government for its action, holding that
the constitution did not follow the flag and that,
in the absence of congressional action, the ex
ecutive had full and unrestricted sovereign
powers over treaty-acquired provinces. What
the opposition papers did to Magoon for prepar
ing two opposite reports may very well be
imagined. My best and reliable information" is
that Magoon wrote the first report to sustain
a ruling of a superior officer, protesting his per
sonal dissent and that the second report was
his real conclusion from the start Be that as
it may, it was a tempest in a teapot for the
time and gave him the full glare of the spot
light. The supreme court later sustained the
position taken in this last report
I talked with Mr. Magoon about eight
months ago in the Metropolitan club in Wash
ington, where he made his home since his re
tirement from public life, although he con
stantly declared that he still maintained Lincoln
as his residence. He spoke about coming Out
for a visit at the first opportunity that his busi
ness interests Would permit. He had. become
associated with a number of wealthy men in
some mining properties and other enterprises,
and, I take it, leaves quite a comfortable estate.
Passing of the "Tiger."
The French senators and deputies have re
fused to accord Georges Clemenceau the retir
ing honor of a term as president of the repub
lic. In this may be descried the effects of do
mestic politics, adjourned to almost an ex
clusive degree while the war was on, but now
coming forward with a re"turn of peace. Clem
enceau's personal . energy, zeal and capacity,
his wonderful fighting qualities and his fanatic
devotion to France, saved the nation. It was
to him the people turned in the darkest day of
the war; that he is now set aside should not be
taken as a proof that his service is already for
gotten. If anything, the action signifies that a
coalition of elements not natural affinities is
too much for him. Radical socialists, ultra-liberals
and ultramontaines are united, as might
have been expected. France may be called
upon to repeat something of the experience that
followed 1871, but as Gambetta and Thiers out
lived the turmblt of those times, so will Georges
Clemenceau survive the political shock of today.
His place in the life of France is' secure, and
the future Guizot will.find rich material for his
work in the record of the "Tiger,"

It may interest my readers to know that the
restoration to the faculty of the Peabody Con
servatory of Music of Max Landow, who went
from Omaha to Baltimore, was announced in one
of the papers I picked up-while in the Monu
mental city a couple of weeks ago. Prof. Lan
dow has been in a most uncomfortable position
during the war because of his German ante
cedents and connections and had dropped out
of the Conservatory, so it was in the nature
of special recognition of his musical talent and
vindication of his loyalty -to be restored
though not without protest.
An English Experiment In Social
MeiiiciiH'.
"In England," says the Journal of
the American Medical Association,
"the medical profession and the nub
ile are apparently in a state of read
justment Social insurance in the
four years preceding the war, the
needs and emergencies of war times,
and the discussion of the last year
culminating in the creation of a na
tional health ministry, all have com
bined to arouse and concentrate in
terest and discussion on the improve
ment of medloal service. An experi
ment now being carried on in Glas
gow is, therefore, of special interest
Dr. David McKail, lecturer on public
health at St. Mungo'a .college, and
Mr. William Jones, clerk and treas
urer of the Glasgow insurance com
mittee, have worked out a plan for
a public medical service as a substi
tute for the social insurance scheme
now in operation. Beginning with a
criticism of social insurance, which
they condemn for failure to provide
any form of institutional treatment
and for furnishing medical services
to only about one-third of the total
population, they propose to build up
a complete medical service, furnish
ing unrestricted treatment to every
citizen needing it, and involving the
enrollment of the medical profession
and the public control of all general
hospitals and infirmaries.
"The proposed plan is founded on
the experience gained In efforts , to
meet war conditions, when for a
time dispensaries were established
in Glasgow for centralizing the pa
tients of absent physicians. The city
was divided into districts, and a con
sultation center established in each.
The Bridgetown district, with ap
proximately 100,000 Inhabitants, is
taken as a convenient unit for study.
The volume of sickness as shown by
the number of dispensary visits is
found to be 3.11 per person per year,
varying from , a maximum of 7.5
visits for the first year of life to a
minimum of 1.32 for ages from 15
to 25. House visits are found to
amount to one-fourth of .dispensary
visits. This amount of professional
work would require 27 physicians,
working 33 hours a week. A 25 per
cent addition for seasonal increases
would necessitate a staff of 33 phy
sicians, each of whom would have
an annual vacation in the summer
or fall. Births would average nine
or 10 a day, requiring four obstetri
cians. Minor surgery and various
specialties would require six, making
a total staff of 43 medical men, ex
clusive of institutional and consult
ant service. These men are to be
graded in three classes, according to
age, experience, etc. Each junior
would be allowed time and be re
quired to do graduate medical fwork
and special study with a view ip his
advancement in the service. Sala
ries would range from $1,590 to
52,500 for juniors, $2,500 to $3,50Q
for middle grades, and $4,000 to
$4,500 for seniors. Provision is also
made for dentists and for dental
treatment. It is estimated that the
expenses of such a medical service
could be defrayed by a tax of Is
lOd In the pound, imposed in the
same manner as the public health
assessment, and that the entire ex
penses of operation could be supplied
at an individual cost below the 7
shillings capitation basis on which
social insurance is now being con
ducted. "An Interesting side light Is
thrown out on the provision for free
choice of physicians, under the so
cial insurance plan now In opera
tion. A careful study of the district
shows that since the introduction of
social insurance and the panel sys
tem in Glasgow, those affected have
not made an effort to exercise any
choice in the selection of physicians,
but have gone to the nearest and
most conveniently located physician.
The advantages for the physician of
the proposed medical service are the
limitation of working hours, v the
guaranteed adequate income, the
avoidance of waste of time and en
ergy, the opportunity for Increased
income, the accumulation of experi
ence, and the opportunity for grad
uate and special work for every
practicing physician. The advanta
ges claimed for the individual are
better treatment at a much less ex
pense and for the community, econ
omy of administration, and the pre
vention of a large amount of disease.
The London 'Lancet,' in commenting
on the proposed plan, impresses the
hope that the authors may have an
opportunity of testing It as success
or failure would alike afford much
needed experience." -

How to Lessen
Robberies
St. Paul. Jan. 14. To the Editor
of The Bee: Thinking that the
crime of robbery was becoming
much too frequent in our country,
I, about three years ago, througn tne
kindness of the governor of my state
and of the United States Department
of State, obtained some Information
as to the means used In different
European countries for the preven
tion of that and similar crimes.
In England, after a convict has
served a second term and is dis
charged from prison, he must be
under the oversight of the police for
seven vears (Ave years in a few other
countries); but the police visit him
In citizen's clothes and try to pro
mote his well-being. If he fails to
report to the police, or Is found
committing an unlawful act, he can
be again Imprisoned. We have noth
ing like that in this country,
though, of course, paroled prisoners
are under police surveillance.
The "Central Association for the
Aid of Discharged Convicts" has
been in operation in England since
1911. Some of its members visit
convicts in prison three months prior
to their release, try to find them em
ployment, and by kindly influence
and friendly advice keep them from
a relapse into crime.
In many of the leading European
cities, the police obtain and keep, a
registration of the inhabitants of
their districts, and know all who are
indolent and without proper means
of support. Also they promptly ob
tain information about newcomers.
This is not done in our American
cities.
Most of our prisons are humanely
administered: and by good behavior
a convict, after serving half his term,
can be discharged on parole. The
present punishment has no terror
for the robber. He should not be
discharged from prison till there is
ground for believing he will be law
abiding. The old-fashioned toll gates. If
properly managed by police, on roads
leading into cities, can stop the pres
ent handy use of automobiles by
robbers.
The police officers of European
cities are paid about as well as we
pay the officers of our regular army.
The commissioner of police of Lon
don is paid $12,000 a year: and all
police officers, after 26 years' service,
can retire with pay during life
equal to two-thirds of their salary at
the time of retirement, or a propor
tionate amount after 15 years' serv
ice and resienation for disability.
A more efficient and a more num
erous police force in our American
cities would be an Important help
for the suppression of robberies. Ad
miral Dewey said that the United
States marine service was the best
service in the world. Its officers and
men, like those in the regular army,
can after 30 years' service and at the
age of 62, retire on three-quarters
pay for life. It would be true econ
omy to put the police in our cities
on just as good a footing. It would
secure more efficient men.
I think that those who are at the
head of our state and city govern
ments should take the initiative In
trying to effect improvements in this
matter. It would seem that, if three
or five of the more able and experi
enced chiefs of pqlice In our country

A Smooth, White Skin
That Defies Weather
During tha months of biting winds anrj
intense cold, you who would keep your
skins smooth, white and velvety, should
turn your attention to mercolixed wax.
Nothing else will so effectively remove a
chapped, roughened or discolored surface.
By gradually absorbfns: 1 the weather
beaten, cuticle, the complexion Is kept in
perfect condition, and even the beauty
of expression appears more pronounced.
If your skin is blotchy, pimply, coarse,
over-red or sallow, why not shed it? One
ounce of ordinary mercolized wax, to be
had at any drug or department store,
will completely transform the most un
sightly complexion in less than a fort-t
nmht Use the wax nightly, like you use
cold cream, washing it off mornings.
