V, END OF THE TREATY FIGHT.
That; disappointment will generally be felt
Over the outcome of the treaty fight irt the sen
L: ate is plain. Americana had hoped that some
could be restored on a formal basis, and not bv
the process of a joint resolution which simply
declares the state of war at an end. Even this
measure will, it is announced, be opposed by
the partisan adherents of the president, who
would continue as long as possible the ex
traordinary condition into which they .have
plunged the nation.
Justice must place the responsibility squarely
on tne president, from the day the armistice
was signed to the present, he has stubbornlv

ji, ne set aoout a course which he must have
known could not be carried out Months of
debate have not availed to move him from his
avowed purpose of driving his country into a
combination which wise and able men have
declared to be dangerous as well as unwise.
'J Americans, devoted by the very genius of
their institutions to peace, were willing to
enter almost any sort of an arrangement that
'would seem to guarantee peace. The one
, reservation suggested to which the president
. htld himself unalterably opposed was designed
to preserve to Americans the right to decide
at their fundamental law provides on the ques
' tion of war. This risrht Mr. Wilson was willins-
.(, " - -- - r
; to lodge in a super-nation, and unwilling to,
leave where it has been since the Constitution
was established, in the congress of the Amer
ican people, fcven a reservation following ex
actly the interpretation given to Article X by
" the president was by him refused assent.
Now the treaty is to be thrust into the
campaign. Republicans will gladly accept, the
challenge. A party that from its birth has
fought for freedom of all men, for the preserva
tion of the Constitution, and the perpetuation.
of liberty established under it, will not hesitate
to once more enter the lists in that cause. . ' To
the senators who courageously faced (the hos
tile criticism and malicious assaults of the
president's supporters, risking their political fu-
ture that .they, might save America from a ter
rible mistake, this country owes a debt .it will
never pay. Their patriotism and ardor during
the long months, of debate has. awakened the
public to a realization of the unwisdom of. the
president's plan, and in this their victory is as
great, as Mr. Wilson's1 defeat, brought about by
ntmseii, is signal. ;.; .. . r.
The Truth That Cannot Be Hidden. .
v Tljt. political acetylene flame that will melt
and cut down the structure of false pretense"
k and mendacity which democratic sophistry has
built to deceive the people into believing repub
lican senators responsible for the failure of the
treaty, is the glaring fact that at the death the
president puppets and a little group of repub
lican enemies of the treaty "did the voting that
killed it V '
" When the president allied himself with ;the
avowed enemies of the treaty and' ordered his
subservient senators to help them vote it down,
honest and open enmity to the instrument and
smug partisan hypocrisy' joined for its slaugh

Insisting on a Novelty in Italy. .
There goes a story that-in the pre-nuptial
contract of a forward-looking Yankee girl who
is soon to marry an Italian nobleman is a
specification that his home Is to be equipped
with bath rooms. As American dollars are
likely to pay for. the plumbing tKere can be no
ground for criticizing the requirement made.
Indeed, as most prc-nuptial contracts with for
eigners are drawn to guarantee the foreigner's
comfort, rather than that of the bride, the pub-
. licit likely to wish there were more specifica
tions for the physical welfare of the bride.
For some reason Europe has been a laggard
in facilities for personal .cleanliness. Bath tubs
have been regarded as an affectation rather than
: a necessity. Any returned service man can
five noisome details of the ' family life in
. France' and the aversion of people in rural
districts to soap and water. A distinguished

Thousands of his fellow countrymen have a
similar hostility to hot water mixed with' soap.
Perhaps it is as bad in Italy. Our fair country-

V r : Passing of the Silk Shirt
, A note from the garment trade in the east
says the silk shirt is passing. 'Not that its
vogue is entirely extinguished, but the hard-
" fisted, big-muscled sons of toil who last season
- fought this garment as a gonfalon of pros
ferity have discovered its emptiness. The $12
hirt of silk lasted about one-thir'd' as long as
the cheaper garment of madras or percale, did
. not look a great deal more "like a million dol-
:: lars" and failed to bring to the wearer any cor
' responding sense of comfort In fact it prob
ably decreased his tranquility of mind because
, It was a continual proof of his extravagance.
So the American workman is turning away
from those things that are costly and looking
With greater favor on those which are substan
tial. This is because the silk shirt is only typ
ical and not the sole evidence of the return of
tanlty. It is a good sign when men begin pot
to hoard their earnings but to wisely expend
them.' Sensible buying is conducive to sensible
savin u well, and the money that was wasted
in riotous living last year may soon find a more
worthy channel through which to serve its own
era and society in general.
An. Ancient Religion's Hold.
About twenty-five hundred years ago was
founded a great religion ' which is today the
most prevalent of all on the face of the earth.
It has held to the dogma of the absolute equal
ity of all men, and all its converts have been
made by preaching and never by force. For
more thin two thousand years its followers
exceeded in numbers those of all other religious
teachers and leaders combined. The country
in which this religion was born is the only one
which still has the same religion t had at the
beginning of the Christian era.
The founder of this extraordinarily enduring
and widely spread faith gave it s name, that
means "Intelligence." ' He was of royal blood,
and until his twenty-ninth year enjoyed the
pleasures and indulgences common to the
wealthy princes of his time. Then he tired of
worldly things, renounced twenty or thirty
wives he had collected, and turned his mind to
religion.'. It is related that the sight of a
gangrened corpse led to the radical change in
his life. At any rate, he then realized the van
ity of humanity and acquired a distaste for
frivolity.. After a thorough course in self
denial he changed his name under the shade
of a tree. Under the. shade of a tree he con
quered his fear of deafh. Under the shade of
a tree he preached his first sermon. Fifty
years later he died, knowing he had firmly
established his new belief.
Eight days after this remarkable man's
death his corpse was cremated and his religion
taken in charge by a council of five hundred
ecclesiastics. This . religion, -proclaiming the
absolute equality of all men in this life, in a
country ruled by caste, also proclaimed celibacy
and chastity as the most important of human
virtues. It held (and stilt holds) that there is
a supreme power, "but no supreme being," no
"self-existent, eternal, personal god." The Past,
trie Present, and the Future are its only trinity.
It admitted nothing of chance, but declared
everything not understood the effect of some
unknown cause. .
Arddha Chiddi was the name of the man
who originated this great religious force which
has dominated the minds' of untold millions. It
spread rapidly from India into Ceylon, Tar
tary, Thibet, China, Japan and Burmah. Fifty
years ago it was professed by more human
beings than any other religion, and probably is
yet, if all its sects are included.
At the birth of his religion Chiddi changed
his name to Gotama, which means "he who
kills the senses," and later to Mouni, meaning
"the penitent" The name he gave his religion
is Buddhism, and buddha is the Sanscrit word
for intelligence. Buddhism succeeded Vedaism,
another faith long held throughout the far east,
and. a notable phase in the gradual development
of . the human intellect. A writer who re
garded all religions as episodes said: In life,
there is' no going back; the morose old man
can never resume the genial confidence of ma
turity; the youth can never return to the idle
and useless occupations, the frivolous amuse
ments of boyhood; even the boy is parted by
a long step from the innocent credulity of the
nursery. And so, he believed these old peoples
Of Asia can never be brought to the beliefs and
intellectual status of our present Christian civ
ilization. "It remains for them," he said, "only
to advance as far. as they may in their own
line, and to die," which is a view abhorrent to
Christian missionaries, ' r-.
In time Buddhismj despite the' tenacity of
its hold on the Asiatic peoples, will yield to
the Christian religion and civilization. It must
do s under the law of competition which ap
plies to religions as to all things else. It has
failed to advance men ' in industry, learning,
science, invention or happiness." It has not
"made good."- The Christian nations have out
stripped it in everything worth while.
Two Sides of International Marriage.
The hazards of international marriages in
which American women of wealth join with
foreigners are again made conspicuous by the
application for divorce of the Duchess of Marl
borough, formerly Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt.
Even the life of- England, nearest our own of
all across the seas, is often unhappy for trans
planted American girls. Luxury and wealth do
not, cannot, take the place of our wholesome
domestic life.
On the other hand,' who can doubt the
triumphant love that will reign in -the homes
of the 5,000 doughboys who have brought to
America wives born and bred in England.
France, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, Spain and
half a dozen other foreign countries?
Why? Because the young and poor Ameri
can who must work his way through life makes
the best and truest husband On earth.
; The Singing of Lloyd George.
Lloyd George, Instead of taking a walk or
playing golf for exercise,, sings. His voice, when
he lifts it in song, is not'regarded'as melodious
by trained vocalists, which is passing strange
for one of his nationality, and remarkable when
one contemplates its effects on the House of
Commons in forensic efforts."
The British preWer is said to hold that
singing does everything , for the blood that
dumb bells or other forms of exercise do, so he
sits and sings hymns-not from religious feel
ing, but because he is unfamiliar with opera. It
would be interesting to know what kind of
sacred music he lets his voice loose on when
he thinks, of Mr. Wilson during his exercise
periods. Is it devotional, penitential, militant,
or triumphant? Make your own guess.
Woman's Triumph Near at Hand.
Ratification of the suffrage amendment is
likely within the next ten days. Extra sessions
of the legislatures of Delaware and Washington,
where the rfotes to put the amendment over are
awaiting formal record, are called, for March
22. With those states on the roll a struggle
of seventy years will be ended one to be com
pared in lengh and vicissitudes only with those
against slavery and traffic in liquor.
What the sociological results of this new
departure will be only time can reveal. The
woman in politics looms large. What her in
fluence is expected to be may best be judged
by the character 'of the opposition which has
delayed her entrance into' full political rights.
. Reaping the Whirlwind.
Germany is now in a condition that may
bring to her full realization of the sins of
hypocrisy, impiety and idolatry 'she practiced
during the years in which she prepared to de
stroy her" neighbors. In the name of the false
German Gott she bowed before and worshipped
war.' Now the familiar text is applicable to her:
For they have sown the wind, and they
shall reap the wirlwind: it hath no stalk: the
bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the
strangers shall swallow it up.
The whirlwind takes the form of violent
disturbances now. of dismaying portents of
civil war. . It wil assume other shapes later.
And ever, amid alL the German agitations,
physical and mental, the burden of indemnity
incurred by the people of the Fatherland in
their wicked waste and destruction of French
property along with their own prosperity, mint
recur to them the truth that if their whirlwind
should yield meal "strangers shall swallow
it up."
Purchase of the Gat Plant
As the city commission has decided to pro
ceed with the purchase of the property of the
Omaha Gas company, a controversy of long
standing is coming to an ensj and the goal of
dollar gas" seems that much nearer. It would
be supererogatory, indeed, to here review the
history of the purchase, but it may be remarked
that the time dates back to the signing of the
compromise ordinance in 1893. when the fran
chise was extended for twenty-five years and a
sliding scale of prices fixed. At no time did the
people ever look forward to anything but the
ultimate possession of their own plant for th:
production and distribution of gas. Municipal
ownership long ago took a deep root in Omaha,
as was manifest in the acquisition of the water
plant, and now further shown in the purchise
of the gas plant
The future of the enterprise may not easily
be forecasted. Naturally, the public expecta
tion will turn to a reduction in the cost of gas
and some improvement in the service. One of
the greatest victories ever won for the people
by The Bee had to do with forcing the com
promise in 1893; another when it secured the
adoption of a "B. T. U." standard for the
quality of the gas served, and in the final move
ment it believes it assisted some in bringing
about the purchase by its consistent, tem
perate advocacy of that course. Whether all
that is hoped for will be immediately realized
may not be said. Certain problems of manu
facture and distribution must be worked out,
some administrative details adjusted, before
definite announcement can be made on this
point. '
"Members of the Water board, which body
will have management also of the gas plant,
aided materially in bringing about the result.
Their decision in, favor of the award undoubt
edly carried weight with the commissioners and
made the purchase possible. Experience in
management of municipal activities, determined
the outcome.
' The big thing is that within ' a , very little
while the people of Omaha will be buying gas
from themselves, and what they pay for the
service will go into the public coffers. The
service that has been rendered them for these
many years by the Omaha Gas company
should not be forgotten in the joy of purchase.
It performed a great function in the communal
life pf Omaha, and it is a matter on which both
sides may be congratulated tht the end was
reached with so little of friction and so much of
agreement.
"Such Stuff as Dreamt Are Made Of."
Sympathy has always gene out to the sub--normal
child, the one congenitally deprived of
a sense, and particularly has this tenderness in
cluded those without sight or hearing. Not to
be able to enjoy all the beauties of nature, to
have a full part in the many joys that surround
the child, to know and feet the pleasures of the
normal involves a tragedy the depth of which
may never be sounded. Those who do possess
all their faculties scarcely can imagine, let alone
estimate, what it is to be without one, so it is
not likely they ever fully appreciate the extent
to which the victim feels the deprivation.
A British psychologist of note has given
the subject considerable study, and the result
of his investigations serves only to heighten the
sense of tragedy. He finds that the blind or
deaf child in its dreaips turns to possession of
the missing sense--pitifuI evidence of their de
sire to be normal. ( Analysis of the sensations
experienced by these afflicted in their subcon
scious moments indicates highly imaginative'
rather than accurate impressions of what might
be known, could the dreamer see or hear. The
child blind from birth ii JesS prone to dreaming
than the one who is deaf, and their relations do
not justify the conclusion, that they actually
see when dreaming. Deaf children are more
given to imagining conversations, and record
some lengthy dialogues or monologues, usually
i volving something of which knowledge may
be had during waking hours.
The doctor merely records the phenomena
he has observed or inquired concerning, with
out setting down any conclusions. If the
scientific mind does not react to the facts pre
sented, the . laymen will hardly be likely to
formulate any opinion of value. But the fact
itself illustrates the poignancy of suffering
borne by the subnormal child in its association
with the normal, and this may explain some cf
the freaks of demeanor . which have been
ascribed to other causes. . It should arouse in
the healthy a more inclusive sens' of obliga
tion to the defectives, much of whose delights
consists in "such stuff as dreams are made of."

WHEN EPIDEMICS REST.
in me aixieenm century a very
peculiar disease swept over Kngland
and Wales. It was known as the
sweating- sickness, and killed many
thousands, taking Its Dlace In his.
tory aa one of the most fearful of all
the aftermaths of war. .
The disease was then unheard of
until iBy, wnen it reappeared in
-icaray. ji came ag-ain in 1880. In
isu mere was a very severe inmi
epidemic. In all these epidemics it
appeared 10 ce contagious, in Pi
cardy It came to be known aa the
fair disease, since local epidemics
oroKe out succeeding- "fair weeks."
Where was the seed of sweating
sickness between the sixteenth cen
tury and 1S40? Also between 1840
and 1880. 1880 and 1906. and after
1908? Dr. Michael Foster answers
the question for us. lie says the
British surgeons In France saw a
few cases in Picardy. It was not
very important, It did not spread,
and appeared not to be contagious.
Nevertheless they regarded the cases
as true sweating- sickness of i486 or
the Picardy sweat of 1840. Between
epidemicav the disease holds out in
its reservoir unfeared, unnoted, un
fought and generally unrecognised.
There Is a very violent disease
known as typhus fever or prison
fever. Occasionally it causes awful
epidemics. There is a mild fever
known as Brill's disease in this
country. It is unnoted, unfeared,
unfought and generally unrecog
nized. Yet Briirs disease is recog
nized as belnsr aNdomPHtia tart fn.m
of typhus. .
Twenty years aeo ther wa n
outbreak of plague in California
For almost 10 years-nn nlae-no mo
found among, men and for several
years more none among animals. In
August, 1919. there was a small out
break of plague among human be
ings In Oakland. Cal. Where wae
the seed during the Interval?
In November last there was the
first case of yellow fever seen In this
country in a generation. Where bad
the seed been in the interval? The
answer is: In Ecuador and other
countries where the disease is mild,
unfeared, unfought and frequently
unrecognized.
Influenza disappeared from this
country last spring and reappeared
in January nasi in Kansas. Where
was it in the interval Probably in
human beings, unrecognized, and
maybe causing no symptoms. It did
not go away; It merely went into a
resting stage.
The great epidemics romp at In.
tervals of about 30 years. Where are
they in the intervals? What are
their reservoirs? Wherever the
reservoirs may be it is altogether
probable that in the intervals it is a
mild disease, unfeared. unreported
at health departments, disregarded
as a source of infection by both in
dividuals and the public authori
ties. There is every reason to think
that when it is restlne. wherever it
is it passes as common coryzas and
common bronchitises. The time to
kill it is in its time of weakness
the time of "the truce of the bear."
it would be rather easy to wipe
out sweating eickness by - paying
some attention to the mild disease
at present in Picardy. Right tiow
an effort is being made to free
Ecuador of yellow fever and thus
destroy a reservoir. What are we
going to do about coryza the com
mon cold, bronchitis, and ordinary
pneumonia?

in the home to make a different kind of evening for
a change. '
The Gulbransen
