THE MISCHIEF OF A MEDDLER. ,
The president's unwarranted interference in.
European affairs since his Lesgue of, Nations
failed to he ratified by the senate has hatched
a brood of .ugly chickens abroad that will be
sent back, to .America to roost much to the
disturbance of our national independence and
sovereign rights,- The Paris newspaper owned
by Clemenceau, L'Honime Libre, says: -r , v
t If Mr. Wilson Continues to demand the
j right to oartieipate from afaf in the discus
sions of London and Paris And to interpose
his veto to solutions which displease pim, we
would be very wrong to refuse him. It is
not wholly a question of knowing if his ad
vice is good or bad. It is a question of letting
nt be understood that if we recognize the con
sultative right of Mr. Wilson we shall exer
cise the reciprocal right, which nituraljy Mr.
t Wilson will not know how' to refuse..
One can imagine Mr. Wilson "storming the
, castle'" if Frarnce' or England should politely
veto any solution; of American (North or South
. American) affairs which pleased his fancy; and
,lso the attitude the public of this, country
would take concerning interference from abroad
with our own national affairs or those having a
bearing on. our established Monroe doctrine..
But such interference .is exactly what Mr.
Wilson is inviting Jy his unconstitutional as
sumption of international authority in the face
of the'-s'enate's formal refusal to ratify the league
covenant. What is sauce for the goose .is sauce
for the gander; When Mr. Wilsotj goes out of
office one of the first duties of the succeeding
administration will be a diplomatic disclaimer of
.. all . Mr. Wilson's international meddlesomeness.
. In no other way can we save the: face of ''th'e
Monroe doctrine, retain our national indepen
dence, and at the same time hold the esteem
.'of friendly1 European governments. When the
time comes for this formal notification' to' for
eign powers we hope the general who flatly re
fused to permit our soldiers to be scattered
tnder British ?nd French command, will Je in"
:he White House with a secretary of state who
1s a patriot. Pershing can look after that phase
, f finr foreign affairs beautifully and unntis
akabfy. -

, NGet This It is Qtf'uU-.
" ; When Kerensky was ousted and ;enine. and.
Trotsky took hold, the millenium was ushered in
'. loQ, downtrodden Russians. Wealth nd work
' alike were abolished, autocracy and poverty
went together to the discard, and common eoft4
tent and comfort was made the lot of alt SavC;
of course, for the unfortunate "boor-zwah'Wjbp.
had to be worked over, so that they,igJit-i,t-come
as the gentle, lamblike proletarian, and
endowed with his capacity for enjoying, all
things but honest toil. Surrounding; all. this like
a beatific aureole was the element of .liberty,
"freedom unbounded, an equality and irresponsi
bility never approached anywhere iiii" human
history until ' the beneficent bolshevik came upon
the scene. Happy, happy Russia,, where life
' was one round of pleasure, interrupted only by
the presence of starvation, misery, disease,
crime, brutality and bestiality! l
.; And now comes the benevolent and benig
nant Lenine, whose loving care for his people
has wrought all these miracles for them, and
telli the world fair: "I have been working to
establish a strong government, and I shall es
tablish it, whether Europe like it or. not Dic
tator Lenine may be assured, that what the
world really would like to see.is government in
. Russia, but he. may, perhaps, not understand
the smile on the face of Civilization at the word
"strong" in his mouth. He goes a little, further,
and warns, concerning, any objection another
Russian of any degree might. .raise:; J

A i ajne, that is well wortteiVatching is now
being JTd in New York.Itf i outcome may
have some effect on conditions 'throughout the
' country. Jn Gotham the lstof M!ay has long
been regarded as "moving day," and shifts of
location rhave" been made by considerable por?
tions ot the population in "search of relief from
conditions grown onerous. Housing conditions
ifcef owever, as throughout the country, have
fallen far short of demand,, and the landlords
took prompt advantage 'of the, situation. No
where did the profiteering spirit have a more
extensive application than in New York, with
the result that the "legislature recently passed
laws) already referred to in The Bee, devised
ta give the tenants Home relief. Anticipating
these, the. landlords set about a campaign of
eviction,' which has aroused a general and fairly
effective opposition. Courts have come . to . the
aid of the heads of households otherwise, at the
mercy of the tenement owners, and buster pro
ceedings are getting little aid from the judges.
The final outcowe of this struggle should con
cern alt America, 'for, it may be effective. in set
ting a;.Jimit beyond which greed cap' nojgo,
Relief can only be had when building catches up
with demaiidr and Under present conditions-thi

else must be resorted to,' and the courts now
seem ready to listen to the tenant and tryvto set
a balance between him and the landlord. v
Condition of National Treasury.' '
A solemn warning to the nation is sounded
by Representative Mondell, republican floor
leader, in his statement regarding the condition
of the national -treasury. The announcement
from the department that the public debt had.
&een reduced by over ?7W,O0O,0UO durfng March
was-the sheerest fiction. What actfialty hap"
pened was that that amount of "taxes paid into
the treasury had been paid but in redemption of
short time certificates, and that almost im
mediately the secretary resorted to a new issue
of the same sort to provide cash for current
needs. '. , ' . ..
While the operations of the Treasury de
partment may be occasion for congratulations,
to the extent that the secretary has at all times
been able to secure the funds he needs, r the
history ' of the present administration affords
ample material for reflection of another 'sort.
When Taft turned our government ovetto Wil
son, a surplus of $350,000,000 was left in the ex
chequer. This was exhausted , by the end of
the first year of democratic management, and
the second year found a deficit of $350,000,000.
At the 'end of 1916, the government was run
ning behind steadily at the rate of about $1,100,
000 a day. This was during peace time. The
war brought tremendous necessary 'expenses,
but" it also brought the most wicked extrava
gance in expenditure of public funds the world
ever knew. The official corruption and rotten-'
ness of Russia scarcely exceeds the story of
the aircraft program,' the spruce production, the
Mussel Shoals and Nitro projects, and other
Wasteful episodes in connection with outr par
ticipation, in the conflict. . A wealthy nation,
whose treasurers pledged to winning the war,
was plucked through the incompetence of its
high officials for business management
A heritage of the war is an enormous funded
debt, together with a floating debt of generous
proportions. This situation can be met in only
one wayt by a more careful administration of
the jfunds collected, to the end that waste and
extravagance be eliminated. Government oper
ation can not cost less, even for the same serv-"
ice, than before the war, and a great many
needed additions have been made to the na
tional ' program, all requiring money, sp the
prospect of any considerable reduction in. tax-1
ation is not brilliant. As an argument in favor
of the -budget system for control nothing could
be more eloquent than the present situation. '
A Repulsive Conception of Christ ,
We have seen a photographic reproduction
of Jacob Epstein's bronze statue of "The Risen
Christ," now on exhibition in the Leicester gal
leries in London. The body, from the neck
down, is hideous, looking1 like charred human
remains ' The left hand points to th wound
in the right hand, and obviously refers to the
incident when Jesus said to doubting Thomas,
Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands."
The hands are grotesquely large,
The face is forbidding, with thick, sensuous
lips that have a wry twist on the right side of
the mouthj as if the Savior were sneering. The
eyes are very large, and while sunken in the
sockets, are protruding. The beard is scant
and the hair, short. The whole thing has the
appearance of an effort to-create a figure as
much unlike that of the famous i Christ in
Leonardo da Vinci's painting, "The Last Sup
per," as Epstein could produce. vj . , .
It is a most shameful and unhappy concep
tion, a' tiling to shrink from, and we doubt irot
the Christian world will urn from it" in utter
disgust We fully concur in the opinions of dis
tinguished, divines who have referred to it as
"brutal," "a- wicked travesty," "as Christless as
Rameses," and "an insult." It should, in our
opinion, de-denied admission to any reputable
art exhibition.

How to Keep Well
By Dr. W, A. EVANS
GERMAN HEALTH . ADVICE.
, The first report of the California
"state board of health, published in
1871, carries a paper on school room
diseases, . written by Rudolph Vlr
ehow, professor at the University of
Berlin. Had the German authori
ties listened to the political wisdom
of Rudolph Virchow.' professor of
medicine at the University of Berlin
and member of the Reichstag, they
would have missed the rock which
brought about their downfall. Had
more attention been paid to his
health teachings the world would
have been better off.
: In tha report are found two striking-
illustrations of the bad postures
taken when a child writes while sit
ting at a too high desk, how .such
bad postures distort the chest and
backbone. The chief causes of dis
ease resulting from school rooms
Vlrehow gave as: v
' r 1. The air of the school room, the
condition of which is dependent on
size of the room, the number of
pupils, the heating arrangements,
ventilation, dampness of the floor
and walls, dust;
2. The light of the school room
dependent on the location of the
building and the room, site of Win
dows, color of the walls, aryncal
.means of lighting a room, (gas, oil).
3. The arrangements for sitting,
size and forms of chairs and desks,
length of time scholars are obliged to
sit still in one position.
4. Bodily exercises, ' especially
outdoor game, gymnastics, bathing,
arrangements for such, manner of
superintending them.
6. Mental exercises, extent, man
ner In which they follow each other,
individual measure, length of free
time and vacation.
6 Punishments, particularly cor
poral punishments.
7. Drinking water.
8. Privies, t .
,9. School apparatus,' especially
text books"'(size of print).
The report also contains an article
on; school , room ventilation, wriujen
"by, the secretary, Dr. Thomas M.
-Legan. - In this report die says: "A
temperature as near to from 60 to,
65. degrees as possible is about the'
proper one for ah average number
of - healthy children - in a school
room, where it Is supposed they are
to b. quietly -seated."
j The secretary presented the legis
lature with a draft of a group of
proposed laws one section of whioh
related to ventilation, going into .con
siderable detalL- . . ,
. But this annual report, remark-,

In the discussion of - sewage dis

Omaha, April 5,- To the Editor
of The Bee; When we sjt down to
consider our reconstruction -policies
of the war, and to plan for future
development of our county, our
first thought should- be how to
recompense the hundreds of thou
sands of manly men who heard the
call of President Wilson, that call to
arms to make the "world safe for
democracy," and to protect the
Ideals set forth In the constitution
of the Unite .Stales of America.
They did their duty well, and to
their memory the .United States
should bear a. worthy tribute to
those gallant men who offered to
make the supremfe sacrifice along
the battle fronts in Europe.
But what is going, to be done to
help the men 'who. gave up every?
thing in answer to the" country's
call? Bhduld We : not extend to
these brave men, the -backers of the
nation, a fitting measure of relief to
help them regain the places of ad
vantage they held when they went
away to war?
Today these ex-service men are
petitioning congress to grant them
relief by giving them a bonus -of
the small sum of $50. How -insignificant
Is the " sum when com
pared with the -act of our neighbor
ally, Canada, -.who - gave each en
listed man the sum of $500. Will
the United States do as weft. I be
lieve every American citizen wants
to. help and Is willing to do every
thing possible for these soldiers.
But how can this be done when
members of congress proclaim that
our national treasury shows a large
deficit, and that our expenses ex
ceed the revenue by "J2,500,000,000"
not covered by bond issues or pro
vided for by current expenses, and
this deficit is a serious menace . at
any time and more particularly when
the nation is recovering from the ef
fects of war. Then how can we
grant the ex-service men a bonus
without levying by bond Issue or d
rect taxation? The way is clear
and the method is simple ofte that
will not only grant relief to the
men asking for a bonus, but will be
the only measure that will strength
en and protect the United States
treasury reserves.
The government must resort to
some expedient of recoinage,' and to
do this we must remove the old
standards of value which were estab
lished by an act of . the British
Parliament in the year of 1802 and
adopted by the - United States gov
ernment in 1820. Congress should
adopt a measure for the protection
of the United States treasury re
serves and reducing taxation. This
can . be done by the adoption of a
bi-metallic monetary system.' Today

the financial world.
A law could be passed by con
gress calling in all metallie specie,
reissue gold and silver coins in one
halt the present sze, then adopt a
standard for gold of $41.84 per
ounce and a value for silver of $2.50
per ounce. Such an act of the gov
ernment would, enable it to use the
surplus from recoinage to pay $4,000,
000,000 to the- bonus fund to be
paid to the ex-service men. The
reduction in the size of the Ameri

purchasing power equal to its sise
and value thereby enabling ' the
United States as a nation to ex
pand its industry, and in this -manner
not only make tha prosperity of
our country greator but solve the'
question of-reduced taxation. Ex
service men should demand their
rights of congressmen and senators,
that they get behind this plan to
grant them -a b6ftue of at least
