' Known Quite the strangest feature of the current re vival of imagined trafficking with the dead is the belief of those engaged in it that they are -taking a long step forward, and that those who do not follow them are being left. behind in the fwogress ot the.race As a matter of fact, the ong step' is backward, and the imagined pro gression isa reversion. The spiritism of the day does have, indeed, some marks of modern , itjr, but these are all superficial mere embroid ' eries, as it were, of the ancient superstitions and in essentials the new mysticism does not differ from, that of the Middle Ages or of the remoter times when, at many, a., famous .fane, the gods, spoke through the mouths of'con .vulsed and entranced 'priestesses. Between the former and the!present believers, -however, there, is a single real difference in the one case faith was justified by the absence reiutina knowledge, in' tht other the believer is obliged to ignore available proof that the phenomena he ascribes to another world all arise from sources close at hand. Qu'te needless weight .is granted to the ac ceptance of spirit communications by men like 'Lodge and Crooks and Dolfc "They are. intel ligent, unquestionably, and in their own domain of science or art trustworthy, but ou.t of it they are far from being experts, and it is only neces sary to read British memoirs and biographies to realize that the - English, longer than almost any other civilized people, have retained .- their i : i ! t i :.:it ai . - . jilting ior gnusis, ana ami treat iiicm as some thing to be proud of as retainers which only old families can. have.

The ratification of the Treaty of Versailles by the senate depends now, as it has from the first, on -whether a sufficient number of demo cratic senators can bring themselves to accept reasonable reservations. If they persist in sup porting the president in his attitude of rigidity, the -treaty will remain moribund so far as Amer ica is concerned. . In Europe the leaders are beginning to won der at the Wilsonian obstinacy. Statesmen of England, France and Italy courteously withhold comment or suggestion, delicately refraining from mixing in any way in American domestic affairs. The fact that they are proceeding along their .own lines to attend to business that con cerns them, and which might otherwise go be fore the League of Nations, is most significant. It is even suggested from sources of influence there that it would be better for the time were affairs left to-the management of the alliance between the Entente powers without regard to the league. , This sentiment naturally has its reflex in America, where the failure of tho covenant as prepared at Paris has been foreshadowed from the beginning. With European leaders willing to concede the point demanded by the senate, which finally involves only the right of America to remain independent as concerns domestic af fairs and the declaration of war. it amazes the world that the president of the United States can not make a similar concession. Leaders of the League to Enforce Peace, the agency which more than any other promoted the propaganda in favor of the League of Na tions, and whose sincerity can not be ques tioned, have stated that the senate's reserva tions are not fatal to the league. Judge Gray admits -that the hope of adopting Article. X as presented no longer exists, but the president still demands it Responsibility for the further, postponement of action on the treaty now rests squarely on the minority of the senate. Whether it is yet ready to accept Mr. Bryan's advice and permit the majority to assume its rightful place in the government will spon be known. Told in Dollars and Cents. Some interesting but neither, startling nor discouraging information is given out by the National City bank of New, York, which esti mates the present world's debt at $200,000,000, 000, compared, with $40,000,000,000 prior to the war.. This implies an increase on account of the' war in . the tidy sum of $160,000,000,000. These figures are meaningless to the ordinary mind, which , can not grasp the idea of what they represent In effect it amounts to the oyer-capitaliza-tiort of the world as a going concern to just that extent Most of this wealth was blown to smithereens in battle or sunk to the bottom of the sea Some of it was dissipated in other ways, but 'it has all vanished. That is, what ever of material, actual wealth is represented by the figures. A considerable portion of the total consists of inflated valuation, incident, to the extravagance with which all governments car ried on their military operations. Some idea of how the madness for issuing "money" has affected the nations may be gained from the further statement that the currency issues of thirty principal countries jumped from $7,500,000,000 in prewar days to $40,000,000,000 at. the time the armistice was signed, and .since then to $50,000,000,000. No account of the $34, 060,000,000, issued by soviet Russia is taken in thisJ ' "t - . i ' Here is a clear view of what is before the world:' Until this enormous debt is taken care of by the replacement of wealth destroyed, the balance will not be restored. The existing deficit may be regarded in a sense as watered stock, arid until each dollar issued is repre sented by a dollar employed in the business, par is not attained. How long it will take to restore 200 billions of wealth is, beyond con jecture. It can not be done by legislation, nor by a scaling of debts. Steady production is the only answer, and the sooner this is realized, and the world stops jazzing around on bor rowed capital or fiat currency, and gets down to hard work, the quicker will" it get out from under the mountain of debt it has assumed. The Science of Giving !tii 0 -r 1 . Control of Public Utilities. The constitutional convention is now agi tated over the question of control of public -utilities,, having before it three separate proposi tions, 'any one of which will take from com munities the powers they now have in this and bestow them on a state commission. Two of these -proposals emanate from members of the State Railway commission, which will have little if anything to . do with railroads, if the present plan goes through congress. Under either of these provisions the railway board Will become a public utility commission, charged with the regulation of affairs involved in the several sorts of public service. That such service must be controlled is plain, but it is not so clear that such control should be "detached from the communities and vested in a central board. Difficulties in mak ing bargains between corporations and communities-are always present, but the business is part of the life of any municipality, great or small,. and should.be so accepted. Nor has it been shown by experience that the people are always indisposed to deal fairly by the cor porations. The trouble usually has started from the other end. ' When the time comes that communities will make contracts and observe them as do indi viduals? when investors in public service enter prises will not be looked upon as public enemies, nor ask to be considered as benefactors; when bargains will be fairly made and squarely car ried out, control of public utilities will lose much of the formidable aspect it now holds. Until then, however, the power should not be taken too far away from the people. . Douglas County's Valuation. ' The attorneys for a Chicago firm of bond buyers has turned down the court house repair issue, because it exceeds what he conceives to be the legal limit.' His mistake is in assuming that the $59,000,000 valuation on which taxes are levied is the true value of the county; The point is a good one. For many years people in Nebraska- have been -fooling themselves by listing property for taxation at what purports to be its cash value, and then levying a tax on one-fifth only. Whether the figure accepted for the levy, or the total really carried, on the as sessment roll is the one on which to .predicate validity, of bonds is the question to be settled, However it may be decided, the incident, should direct attention to one of the queer customs. in vogue in connection with the scheduling .of property for tax purposes in this state, ; - .- -- ' ..... , ... ... From the New York Timel. Bv an interesting coincidence. Jacob G. Schmidlapp's bequest of a single million and the Rockefeller nift of $100,000,000 were re ported in neighboring columns. It was only a few decades ago that the world looked upon a fortune of a million to say nothing of its be quest to charitv with something akin to awe; but today it appears a modest estate. In either comparison, such gifts as the ordinary citizen is able to make seem small. It takees a second thought to perceive that thev arre very far from Deing negligible. A statistical naturalist once computed that if all the ants in the would could be assembled they would many times outweigh all the elephants. The united gifts of all the mere-millionaires would cut a very presentable figure even in comparison with the gifts of Carnegie, Frick and Rockefeller. With the addition of the humbler doles of less eminently solvent citizens, the relationship of ant to ele phant would doubtless be duplicated, and more than duplicated. It is for a better reason than their size that the Rockefeller gifts, and others of their kind, are memorable. They are memorable as, mark ing an epoch in the science of giving.' The genius for organization and management which made possible the accumulation of so much wealth has been applied in its distribution for the benefit of mankind. The Rockefeller Foun dation and the General Education Board be tween which the new arift of $100,000,000 is di vided represent an effort to organize benefac tion as industry has been organized to make it alive, progressive and adaptable to the new needs of each successive generation., .The Rockefeller Institute is not merely one of the most amply equipped and ably manned of all the world's outposts against disease; it is an organization fashioned to insure, as far as is humanely possible, such permanence of health and vital tradition as has been achieved, for example, by the leading universities. The General Education Board, which is designed as a corrective to malnutrition among universities, is likewise capable of organic growth. Thanks to the Rockefeller gifts, the health of the na tion, both physical and intellectual, should be come the object of continuous and intelligent benefaction. The suggestions accompanying the present gift indicate the scope of its usefulness. By increasing the pay of college teachers, able young men will be enabled to devote their lives to education, while professors of tried ability will be saved the necessity of abandoning their high calling. The passage referring, to the needs of the medical schools of Canada is of special interest. The Education Board is lim ited by its charter to' activities within the United States; but this limitation is now set aside. The welfare of the neighboring people is accepted as part and parcel of our own welfare. No bet ter instance could be given of the growth of an institution in harmony with the progress of the world. The exampje of benefaction in the manner of Carnegie and Rockefeller is already making itself widely felt. Mr. Schmidlapp acknowledges his debt to Carnegie. In the closing decades of his life he himself superintended the bestowal of the major part of his fortune. The single million which remained was only what he re quired for his own living and for projects of charity in hand. Like-many others, including Mr. Frick, he left it to be administered by a trust company. The time may come when such estates, both large and small, will be bequeathed to organizations like the General Education Board--as they are now bequeathed to individ ual universities. Shipbuilders Not Slackers. - Omaha, Jan." 24. To the Editor ot The Bee: In looking through your paper of th 24 th I ran across a column m your paper headed "Tne Bee's letter Box." And, reading down the column came across an article branding: Mr, Jack Dempsey a slacker and signed by "E, M. T., Member Chicago Tost." I would lika to ask Mr. E.'lf. T. how he- classed any man. employed in a shipyard during, our war pe riod? . When the war . Started be tween the United States and Ger many I was working in a business that the United States government classed as exempt i from . war duty, but at tfle call of Mr, Schwab for men for the shipyards, I quit and went to work for a shipyard m the east and can honestly say I did more for my country working Jn a shipyard than I could have done If I- had been across the water. " Thousands of other men hold the same Idea re garding this as I do. I don't want any reader to think that I or any otner of my fellow employes tried to get out of the army by golrg to work In a shipyard. But wo all felt we snouid go where we could do the most for our country, and certainly myself and all of us ship Workers know that we did as much for our country as Mr. E. M. T. of Chicago post, if not lust a little bit more. And we are not going around bragging aDout it. either. Mr. E. M. T. mav have been across. but at the same time myself and thousands like me were working our neaas on to get him a means to get him food and shells and a shiD to co me, "back on. And there were very tew men that a foreman had to stand over to get out production and at the same time to keep our work to the perfect mark. Now Mr. E. M. T., don't you think you were just a little bit nasty In your branding Jack Dempsey a slacker, because you brand every man employed In a snipyara a slacker when you brand him a slacker. We did not wear the drab color, but we did wear the blue overall hi Uncle Sam s vast army. We did not get a gilt edged paper showing our record or any- ining jiKe tnat, but I do think we won respect from the people of the uniieu states ana our president. It. W. LYCELXi. Why We Tolerate Bolshevism Americans who cherish America and are willing to lay down their lives to .preserve this nation are anything but pleased by the failure of the allied governments to grapple with bol shevism. They are astounded at the fatuous logic of those who suggest that the throwing of sops to the bolsheviki will help to destroy bol shevism. They are disgusted with the auction of the-rBritish prime -minister,: :who surrenders rather than fight British boishevism- to a finish, Mr. Lloyd George has made a probably fatal mistake by trying to'curry favor with boishe vism. It will take all the advantages he offers, and .then will turn and rend them. Let England do as it will,- under Lloyd George or under a bolshevik regime; the United States will not yield. As the peril increases, so aoes me courage or. patriotic Americans in crease, lhis nation was not born to become a slave, either to crowned tyrants or to usurpers disguised as champions of the people. The United States is more fortunate than England in the distribution , of land to its own people, and in the obliteration of class distinctions, no bility and all the trappings that are now so provocative of.hatred and civil war.. The fathers of this republic builded wisely when they made every American the equal of another, with equal opportunity and equal responsibility, ihe poor est American can indulge in reasonable hope of success in lite, and the richest must obey the law laid down for all. Washington Fost. Rights of Radicals A thoughtful radical and a Russian recently remarked that the limit of rights for radicals in the United States is the right to seek to eon vert others to their views and that there is no right .of force. This aooears too obvious to need comment In the case of expelled members of the Mew York assembly, much ot criticism tias been brought forth. The criticism if well based would be warranted. ' Yet one of these men says that the socialists do not believe in resort to force except as a last resort. That means when they should regard their ends other than by force to be hopeless they would resort-to force. Such a declaration is a declaration of violent purpose and should act to debar any persons holding such views from sitting in any state or national legislative assemblage. There must be no reservation as to loyalty to the constitution of the country until that con stitution has been altered or superseded through prescribed political methods. The fact that these men contemplated, force makes of them revolutionists and probably, anarchists. As so cialists, of the clear American brand before the visitation of the party by the radicals and ter rosists, no person elected upon a socialist ticket would be barred from sitting.

To the Editor of The Bee: Ten dollars a day, at uie present cost or living, is an proximately . equal to $5 a day at the cost of liviner a few vears aero. when it was figured by economic ex perts that the ware worker receiv ing $5 a day received only about one half of what a just system of pro duction, and distribuatlon would have allowed him. If these figures are correct, a wage worker would not oe profiteering now if he were to receive $20 a day. According to the recent statement of a Chicago banker, 20,000 new mil lionaires have come Jnto existence in this country since the beginning of .the world war. In addition to these, many old millionaires, according to other reports, have accumulated for tunes so vast that, if all their wealth were converted into silver dollars or bills, it would take them longer than an ordinary life-time, working eight hours a. day, to simply count it. Why should any legitimate mer chant, farmer or professional man feel offended and cry "bolshevist" when he hears a worklngman pro testing against the profiteers? Why. should they take any stock in the Ef fort of foxy politicians to classify workers organizing to. keep from losing -what they have as the Other vicious extreme of the commercial Kaisers r is it pot to their truer and better interests to! gradually help raise -the standard ef living f the masses so long as it la, kept Within the bounds of equity? . ; WILLIS HUDSPETH. Mississippi anil Women's Suffrage. Omaha, Jan. 25. To the Editor of The Bee: Why view with alarm Mississippi's conduct on the ratifica tion of woman's suffrage? The state where a woman could bid 10 cents for the state capltol, and : southern chivalry would forbid' a man raising the bid. The south knows the only way to Keep tne republican party from dominating politics is to keep the negro from voting. It also knows that'at some subsequent time the republican party to further Its weirare may insist that the nesrroes in the southern states be given their constitutional rights, or see that In states where negroes can not vote, mat tnese states have their congres sional representation reduced in ac cordance with those who vote. We do not expect such favors from the democratic party, but sincerely hope the republican party will ee a way to accomplish the act when they again have the opportunity. W. E.
