When the great humorist was a young re
porter, working on The San Francisco Call,
he determined to take up the study of the
French language. He did not want to go to
the expense of a teacher, and so he bought a
grammar and conversation book and set to
work. Before breakfast he pored over the les
sons; late in the evening he was at it again;
and every available moment of the day he em
ployed with equal assiduity.
He soon began to look about for opportuni
ties to make use of his new accomplishment.
Accordingly, he began to eat at a French cafe
once a week.
One day, as he and his roommate were com
ing out of the cafe, they found on the sidewalk
just outside the door a Frenchman. He was ask
ing first one passerby and then another the way
to a certain street, but no one understood him.
That was Mark's chance. The Frenchman
looked at him with wistful eyes and began to
talk. Mark listened attentively. Three or four
times the Frenchman was compelled to repeat
'.he question; then Mark seemed to catch the
gist of his inquiry. But he had scarcely spoken
half a dozen words in reply when the French
man fell to the sidewalk in a dead faint.
The true cause of the stranger's fainting
never became known. Very likely he was fam
ished, and perhaps he had been put out of this
very restaurant because of his seedy appear
ance. But whatever the cause, the joke was on

PLUMB PROPOSES REPUDITION.
The author of the wondrous Flumb plan for
remedying all the ills the transportation system
of. the country is heir to comes forward with
another panacea, this time to heal our financial
difficulties. He would now enforce a "capital
levy" in order that the bonded debt of the land
may be immediately reduced. Overlooking the
fact that the bonded debt of the country is less
than twenty billions instead of the thirty bil
lions, which Mr. Plumb says is "admitted," and
that the net cost of the war to the United States
is only about twenty-two billions, instead of
the forty-odd that loose speakers and writers
refer to, it is interesting to note some of the
other assertions.
Mr. Plumb resorts to the well-worn soapbox
argument that 2 per cent of the people own 60
per cent of the wealth of the country. He would
lay on these the burden of the confiscation, for
that is what the so-called capital levy amounts
to. Twenty-one million Americans subscribed
to the Liberty bond issues, and made the best
investment money ever went into. Millions of
wage earners put part of their wages into these
bonds, for they were to support the government.
And now Mr. Plum suggests repudiation as a
method for meeting the debt!
For the year 1919 the family group income
of the United States, calculated on the basis of
wages paid and income tax returns, was esti
mated at $52,850,000,000. This sum was divided
between 23,500,000 family groups. In the group
bavins: incomes'" of between $1,000 and $2,000
were 21.375.000, with $40,615,063,500 as its share
of the total income. In the next group, be
tween $2,001 and $3,000. were 1,375,000 families
with $3,850,000,000 for its portion. The sig
nificance of these figures can scarcely be es
caped, even by the most ardent socialist. If
they mean anything, they mean that this still is
a poor man's country.
However that may be, .we can not believe
that the United States is ready to join with
bolslievist Russia and socialist Germany in com
mitting an act of national bankruptcy by
repudiating any part of its indebtedness.
- Nebraska in the National Arena.
Always vigorous, energetic and forward
looking, the people of Nebraska have had a
great share in directing the destinies of the na
tion during the last half-century or longer. One
man after another has come up from our
prairies into national prominence, and new ideas
have had their birth or found their growth here.
And in this year of grace our state finds itself
more than ever a storm center in national
politics.
At least three possible candidates for presi
dent on the republican ticket have bid for the
support of the state. One of these is a Ne
braska man in all respects, save that of birth.
General John J. Pershing is thoroughly identi
fied with the state through his residence here,
and his wide acquaintance makes him pecu
liarly attractive to the people.
On the democratic ticket Nebraska now
presents the senior senator, Gilbert Monell
Hitchcock, whose candidacy is being zealously
pushed by his supporters, and who will be a
figure in the San Francisco cbnvention. Repub
licans can contemplate with complacency the
family fuss this is sure to engender in the op
position ranks, for it is hardly conceivable that
Mr! Bryan, even for expediency, will assent to
the Hitchcock aspirations. No question can be
raised as to Bryan's prestige as a national
leader, nor can Hitchcock's prominence be de
nied. The outcome of this home affair is of in
terest far beyond the confines of the state.
While the primary election comes during the
planting seaspn, it is of such momentous
character this time that the voters will very
likely give it great attention. Nebraska is oc
cupying a bigger space on the political map at
the moment than any state in the union, and
deservedly so because of the caliber of its men
who are really making history.
Best Time to Get Married.
A California speaker at the women's meet
ing in Chicago advocates early marriages. She
argues that 21 . for the man and 18 for the
woman is the ideal age, and holds that from .
fruitful marriage at this period will come
lusty progeny as well as happy and harmonious
homes. Perhaps she is right. It was the cus
tom in early days, when life was less complex,
but it may hold some difficulty now. If the
youngsters can do as did their forebears, and
content themselves with less to start, depending
on their industry and prudent economy for ad
vancement in the material things of life, well
and good. The boy of 21 in grandfather's time
could take his bride, go into an unsettled dis
trict and grow up with the country. This is
no longer possible. He can, however, grow up
with his job, and by his energy and application
make for himself a place in the business com
munity, just as did his grandfather. The main
point is, though, that the matter of marriage
and giving in marriage in this land is one for
the young folks to settle for themselves. Elders,
looking down from the heights of experience
may speculate and philosophize, counsel and ad
vise, but the boys and girls will go ahead as
they have been doing since the beginning, and
determine for themselves, not only the date but
all the essential details of their mating.
Define Value and Valuation.
In passing on another attack on the legality
of the court house repair bonds, Judge Sears
stated that he, as a member of the legislature,
had assisted in writing the law and therefore he
knew that the "actual value" mentioned in the
law and the "valuation" mentioned in the con
stitution mean the same. Reasonable men
will admit this, but those who care to may al
ways quibble over it. The easy way out of the
disputed definition is to abandon the present
subterfuge of levying taxes on one-fifth of the
valuation. To bring this about will necessitate
.some care in the revision of laws that permit
mill levies for specific purposes, but it can be
done, and the state will benefit. The present
practice is confusing, frequently embarrassing,
and contains some elements of danger. A
revision of the law is almost imperative.
Most .of us will agree with Edison that the
human medium "is too d d uncertain" for spirit
communications. But it is that uncertainty that

Industrial Consumption
of Gold
From the Mining Congress Journal.
The actual sale of gold bars to the trades
during the calendar year, made by the New
York, Philadephia, San Francisco and Denver
offices of the United States mint serivce, totaled
576.837,600. To this amount has been added
$3,500,000 to allow for the gold coin used for
manufacturing purposes, thus making a total
of $80,337,6007 an increase of $27,9.7.8o0. or 53.2
per cent over the 191 S trade consumption. For
the first time in the history of the country gold
was exported to Europe for manufacturing pur
poses. Of the total sales of gold bars to the
trades during 1919, which amounted to $76,837,
600, $14,538,119 was exported for manufacturing
purposes. The production of new gold during
1919, as reported by the United States Mint, was
$58,488,80(1, an amount which failed to equal
that consumed by the trades for manufacturing
purposes bv $21,848,800, or 37.4 per cent. In
1915. $63,215,673 was the highest amount pro
duced in excess of that consumed in the trades
for the past decade, which amount has declined
progressively until, in 1918, the surplus was but
$16,236,960, due entirely Jo a decline in pro
duction, since the amounts of gold consumed
in the trades are practically equal for the vears
1916, 1917 and 1918. This last year, however,
due to a continued decline in the gold produc
tion, coupled with a still greater increase in the
consumption of gold in the arts., a shortage has
occurred for the first time in the history of the
country.
It is evident .that the conditions which pro
duced the economic pressure which has forced
and will continue to force a decline in the gold
output ftvill, on the other hand, be in favor of
an expansion in the jewelry trade and the
volume of gold consumed therein, and that,
therefore, with the same economic conditions
continuing through 1920, the consumption of
gold in the "arts probably will be more rather
than less than that of 1919. With the same
consumption in the arts, the estimate of $40,
000,000 as the production for 1920 will leave a de
ficiency in excess of $40,000,000 this year.
To safeguard the monetary gold reserve
from this heavy depletion by industrial use,
the excise and premium proposal will soon be
suggested for consideration of congress. The
bill merely creates the machinery by which the
consumers of gold in manufactures and the arts
may be supplied with sufficient gold to meet
their requirements without drawing upon the
monetary reserves which sustain the country's
credit. This is to be accomplished by an excise
which will enable the gold producer to increase
the output to satisfy the anticipated trade re
quirements. A Big Heart as the Saving
Grace of M ediocrity
Literary people often affect to prefer their
own inspired and blessed state of ignorance to
the lopsidedness and the mediocrity of the
learned. It is painfully true that dead erudition
takes too often the place of true inspiration.
We are breeding a race of pedants over
burdened by their libraries and their card in
dexes. A constant equilibrium must be main
tained between a man's mental capacity, his
formal and experimental knowledge, and his
craftsmanship. If he takes in more than' he
can assimilate, he becomes self-centered and
stupid. As most men are very quickly taught
up to the saturation point, one cannot lay too
much emphasis on the danger of undigested
learning unsupported by practical experience.
The mathematician, Whitehead once very aptly
said: "The second-handedness of the learned
world is the secret of its mediocrity. It is tame
because it has never been scared by facts." It
is only fair to add, however, that some people
have been scared by hard facts their whole life
long and have never ceased to be dull.
It is well also to say that many people are
lopsided not because of their special studies,
as they would fain have us believe, but simplv
because their brains did not fully develop. Of
course no amount of knowledge will give gen
erosity and intelligence to a man who has none.
On the contrary, it will set his pettiness in
greater contrast, in the same way that wealth
makes-mediocrity more conspicuous.
Science can neither produce nor efface
mediocrity, for this is essentially a condition
of the heart. Have you ever asked yourself
why some men appear small however much
they accomplish? Is it due to the ' blind in
justice of fate, or would the reason not rather
be that their hearts are small, that they lack
imagination and sympathy, that they are too
self-centered, too cunning, too jealous? (Of all
the symptoms of mediocrity, jealousy is per
haps the one that goes deepest.) On the con
trary, a warm heart, a ready sympathy, will
save any one, however small, from mediocrity.
When a man has a big heart everything that he
does is bigger, and he is likely to receive full
credit for his smallest achievements; when his
heart is shallow he manages to spoil every
thing, even his accidents of generosity. From
"Secret History," by George Sarton, in the
February Scribner.
British Political Situation
The last of the labor representatives has left
the British cabinet. In this case we are not
afforded another exemplification of the theme,
the dropping of the pilot, once made so pic
torially famous by Punch; rather, we seen the
pilot, of his own volition, abandoning the
doomed ship to her fate. The coalition govern
ment has on the whole been faring badly. Not
only has it lost by-election after by-election and
thereby suffered in prestige, but it has also laid
itself open to attack on the grounds of inef
ficiency and wasteful spending. It has made
desperate spasmodic attempts to conciliate the
labor element, but has always failed. Some
times, indeed, it has been in direct conflict with
labor, and seldom without receiving a knock
down blow.
t A great deal of the future politics of Britain
hinges on the pending election in Paisley. This
venerable Renfrewshire city, which dates back
to the days of the Roman occupation of the
country, and became a "free burgh" in 1488 and
a parliamentary burgh in 1832, is considered of
great importance in indicating the drift of pub
lic opinion. "Keep your eye on Paisley" has
been a well-known watchword ever since the
late Lord Salisbury once made use of that cryp
tic expression in the heat of a hard-fought gen
eral election some 30 years ago. Washington

Questions About Sugar
Somewhere in Iowa, 'Feb. Jl. To
the Editor of The Bee: lias the gov
ernment set a price on sugar at
which all merchants, wholesale and
retail, will be obliged to sell in lots
of 100 pounds or less?
Is there a different price set on
cane and beet sugar?
Is tfie price to be the same in
Iowa and Nebraska?
Is there any law against private
parties sending sugar from Iowa to
Nebraska, or vice versa?
What is the freight charge on
sugar? Does it go first or second
class? . AN OIA) Sl'BisCKIBER.
Answer: The government has not
fixed a price on sugar. A differential
has been established between beet
and cane sugar. The price is sup
posed to be the same in Nebraska
as in Iowa, but is not. There Is no
law to prevent private parties ship
ping sugar. It ia being done very
generally by Omaha consumers, who
have bought in Denver, where the
price is below that charged in Oma

A oung lady in Cleveland has

knew there wa.s a big need. As a
result, men and women from three
large office buildings eat there every

that many people from outside that

Restaurant management isn't the
haphazard thing it used to be. So
many people are forced to cat down

kitchen superintendents.
Many of these positions have
been tilled by women who have

There is an increasing demand,
however, for the girl who has a
knowledge of dietetics and institu
tional management in addition to
the ability to cook appetizing food.

REPUTATION
Reputation is what is generally
id or believed about the character
of a person or company of men.
A good reputation, gained through
business dealings, is never the result
of accident; it is a structure built
up by careful, conscientious effort
upon a foundation of genuine worth.
For many yeara Home Builders'
Construction Service has been tested
from every angle and has never been
found wanting in any of the things
that make for Reputation. This is
proven by the good words of its
many satisfied clients.
No matter how large or how small
the structure you contemplate build
ing, square dealing, coupled with or
ganization, and ability to construct,
must mean LOWEST POSSIBLE
