V jii SecjeUry Biker will make no adequate or ; !:ariyctory explanation of the wholesalcaste, 'Sf'aft and profiteering that disgraced his admin 'jvistratfon in the building of army camps and war J industrial plants in this country. The amount ji tbsolutely lost is fixed oflkially at about $78, ;i'000,000. , ; During- that period the writer was located :niidway betwetn one of the biggest army camps J .tutmp Sherman) and the "chemical city" ., ' U!Citro); and about fifty miles from each. Man i ll. workmen at both pces came from "the mjdway :!point, and 6n their frequent visits home talked ;i: freely andjfjfelingly of the deliberately planned ; ;: waste that was going on. V: !; The work was done on the co"st plus system, ::ufidcr which the profits of contractors were in- creaaed when expenses motuited. That thes con i:tSactors an( bosses employed at Camp Sher- t tnan worked every possible scheme to augment ;i ttie cost of their building ' operations there ;i cannot be a shadow of doubt. We have heard .'workmen' whose 'evidence would receive full .credence , in courts whAe their reputation for T Veracity is known,; tU how tliey were' taken out ;J;in gangs on Sunday mornings when there was 'no usefuf-work to do and ordered to shift a - j little pile of boards from one spot to another, and in ten minutes ordered back to their quar Mers, having been credited by the boss with. one fullVday's Sunday work at double price, which ' " was $14, if memory serves us accurately. We have heard them tejll of valuable lumber being .burned , m wanton waste and other first-class j material cast to one side as useless, and later Jk carted away, nobody kew whither. At Nitro conditions were much worse, for A there great quantities of material were stoten in ' y broad daylight under the eyes of those en ? trusted with its care. Valuable metal was buried j -l.at night to b. removed later, work was delayed by every possible expedient, and organized con-v i spiracy to loot and defraud the government ex ;?,isted all overhe place. Men were jtmplo'yed as skilled workers at enormous .wages in trades they knew nothing aboift particularly as car penters and plumbers, an$I inefficiency was sought by the contractors, "both at Nitro and J;Camp Sherman. j , fY In the little Ohio rivei; city of Gallipolis ber ? tween two and three hundred. workmen live, ;. whose evidence would be ample to convict Uiese ''i contractors and bosses. WjisfeVas the watch , t word under' Secretary Baker, who had the ef ( :frontery to tell an audience of 8,000 workmen 9 "ilrat Nitro, assembled for a political purpoif, that 'I;they we doing-just as much to win the war , ;as thmerican soldiers then in . the trenchesl j: The half will never be told of the wicked, despicable and treasonable systems at Camp 1 ,S; Sherman and Nitro to weaken and delay'the ' government's war work. Nor did the waste i.cease with the armistice. The payrolls werei t continued long after. At Nitro thousands of . J bale of cotton, directly under the control of ; iljBaker, were left for six months in the open ! winter weather to spoil, without a bit of pro jection, and with millions of feet of unoccupied ,noor space on all sides, y was a studied, unr principled waste of a valuable commodity, and the excuse for not disposing of it was that to jithrow it on th1 market would unsettle the price fj of cotton, then at a figure that made all cotton rgoods aMuxury, and was enriching the south. :t. No; Secretary Baker will never attempt an j :;honest explanatjQn of what happened at Nitro ;and Camp Sherman, because it was his duty to ,;have inspectors on those jobs who would care ;fuHy look after the interests of the government "He had none such, the facts amply demonstrate. i - . dfcmand for "strong government" at Washing ton also a thiag to. be dreaded.

"Jack" Pershing a Recommendation. Even from democratic sources comes strong testimony in-favor of John-Pers'hing asa f.j- ... a.. . aJ leaner 01 men, a atrector ox anairs, and a pq-. bll pre3id.eftt of the United States. The BaHl-' more Sun, explaining to it readers that Persh-' ing nas tne oia-iasnioned and unpopular, vir tue Cf modesty," tells them further: , . vve nave not maae as mucn ot mm since hiv return from' r ranee as he deserves, be cause he is not a man given- tobooming him self through publicity bureaus. He did what he was sent to do in France, and from all ac- ' counts did it 100 per cent well. TKat, it seems, is Jack Pershing's usual way when he has a job to do, he does it and says no more about it. He lets-his work do his talking. ' Pershing himseH,in his address to the Ne- braskans at WashingtoA on Ay;dhftAday", con firmed this view. His words are those of a shicerely modest man, who has Eiven "his life to the service of liiscointry doing his duty and doing it well, a man who sanely and rationally appraises the prob!emsnd achievements of h- manity, realizing the difficulties as well as the triumphs, and to "whom success means . onfy" greater opportunity for service. Nebraskans may well read and digest the simple words of a simple man, for through them they will find insight to tfie real Pershing. , He fairly and frankly stales his case, his in terest as welj as his residence in Nebraska, his willingness to accept a nomination as president. fTothis the response of Nebraska should be as generous, and the world should not be left to doubt what the people at homehink of their most distinguished fclIow citiefi. '. ( i Militarism in the United States. A letter has'come to theeditor of The Bee ;J from an anonymous correspondent, signing him I'self "A Republican, on the Fence," deploring the i ; if presence of soldiers as catWidate,s for office, and .; particularly for that of president He sees the r hideous form 'of a-jwlitary autocracy brooding . !: over the country, and demands that it be de Tstroyed. We would suggest that he jead the jjjhistory of his country. George Washington was a soldier; Andrew Jackson. William Henry Har-. rison, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William 'McKnley jmd , Theodore Roosevelt, all were Isoldiers, and good ones. "Did anybody ever note ;J.a tendency toward jnilitarism or the esTablish J ment of an autocracy under either of these? ;i:PeriodicaIly'"the man on horseback" is evoked ;5 by politicians in America, but his apptarance' in 'ithe fltsh is a long way'off. , Soldiers have saved iithis country on several occasions," and. the cheapest tm of ingratitude is to oppose a man 4 for office because he wears or once wore the luniform of his country and fought for iTs flag. its homes,sand its institutions.

Hnr ( Dm LlM, M th Im till (" tlnjr nay. News and "Publicity." An Illinois' court has just settled a novel but in many senses an important point. The judge holds that the editor of a newspaper i's the sole judge of what constitutes news, and' can not be held pecuniarily liable for declining or neglect ing to publish anything. Suit waj bought by a candidate for public office, who set up that his name, was purposely omitted from the de fendant's paper, to his great damage. His con tention was "ot allowed by the court, the de cision being that a newspaper is riot under obligation tb-print matter that is merely of ad vantage to a single individual. , This does not exactly draw the line between news and "publicity," the latter term being a modern euphemism for the promotion of private interest, by propaganda. Newspaper' Editors realize better than any outsider can the pressure for free advertising, resistance" to which, in volves the decisionals' to what is helnfufand what is not. The final determination of this point must rest With the editor, and he is not to be deprived of this power, accqrding-iun the decision, wherein the judge lays down the prin ciple in this language: 1 The defendant ' owes no duty, to cither plaintiff or the public to publish anything which, for any reason, it did not , see fit to publish.... . . The- defendant is be sole mriffe of the value of news as such. A news paper must remain free to publish such mat- 1 icrs as u rjcgai us as possessing news varuc and to refrain ifrom. publishing such matters , as it may determine does, not -possess news value. This is both clear and conclusive and when5 better understood'will be of service to the pub lic as well as to the newspapers that strive so" diligently to be of real use to their patrons.

For the corn much use has beeen found, although its juice np longer is Ex tracted, distilled and doctored up to befuddle the brain and excite the passions.. The cobyct remains almost exclusively a waste product,' despite the limited service that comes Irein the "Missouri meerschaum," and the inconsequential fuel supply developed from the pile around the sheller. Now, however, the chemist haj been making close inquiry ' into the cbrncob, and finds it useful ' in the dye industry, ' Various chemical substances essentially necessary in the process of making colors fist and furious, es tablishing qualities of . permanence and bril liance, are found in the cob. One of these sub stances now beine suoDlied at $17 a nound can be extracted from the corncob and sold at a profit for 15 cents a pound. It soun'ds too ijood fo be true, but'the chemists now in-conclave at St. Loin's solemnly asseverate that it is true. So science has added (another triumph by dis covering service in waste, and a use- is tound for. something that has hithertobeen only in the way.. The railroads may yet be required-to , devise special cars to haul the cobs to market, and maybe the time will come when the shelled corn will be piled carelessly on the ground. while the preciouscob will be arefully stored under cover. It is a topsy turvey day, you know. , , te A Hot Time in Georgia. . Time was when Hoke Smith of Georgia Was ra target for intense republican criticism.'J,t seemed at times as if he. got just a little rougher treatment han he deserved, but -pejraps not. In this conclusion we are sustained by the Hon. Clark Howell and his XtlantaConstitution, which are attributing to , tne southern senator every political crime in (the democratic fist ex cept that of being a republican. We hesitate to mention even -a summary ofN them. It appears that in the happy southland where republicanism is tabooed by ways that are xlark, the democrats-xercise-their talent for political invective on each other. If the Constitution a fair example they do it thoroughly. A Chicago judge has the right conception of what is due a household from the husband and breadwinner.

M. S. i Surinar and Itv Poisoninir. Justat this season the woods be come inviting and at the same time tha poison ivy eomes out A little later tha plant becomes even more poisonous and the desire to venture into the woods waxes stronger. There will be eases of ivy poison ing from time to time until frost kills - the leaves next autumn. In preparation for the ivy poisoning season Dr. E. A. Sweet of the pub lic health service and C. V. Grant of the 'bureau of plant industry, De partment of Agriculture, have pre pared a statement which is pub lished in the public health service reports. There are a hundred cures for Ivy poisoning. None of them is of any material service, though perhaps eacn nas some lime merit, xne oih ease is self-limited. If a niceh will ,not scratch or rub ii and in that way spread it by his hands, will keep clean and not spread it with cloths or 'clothes it will get well of itself without any medication in about ten days. It is customary to claim as a cure any application which was iii' use yhile the disease was spontaneously getting well. KuPpos we were to reverse things and say1 that if a case of ivy poisoning had not been spread by carelessness, then the remedy in use did harm. How many poison ivy remedies cOjjJd stand the test? Whileytlfere is no . proper cure. Sweet "and. Grant say some treat ments help somewhat. Soap .and water will dissolve the resinous poi fun. . However,- in washing off the rcsiiv one must- be careful not to spread it to new areas. Wash the af fected areas well. Wash off the soap. Repeat the washing six hours latef. After the resin has been washed from the poisoned area it will be safe and advantageous as well to wash 'the entire 'body with soap and hut water. For this pur pose 'a shower is safer thair a tub bath. Especial care must Hie .taken to prevent the poison -from being spread by the fingers, cloths, dress ing or bath water.- To relieve itching immerse the in flamed area In hot water for several mjnutes, gradually increasing the temperature until the' water-is as hot ait can be borne, or apply hot w-ater by means of a thick towel. If it is desired to keep some lotion on the inflamed area use borax solu tion (1 teaspoonful in a cup of war ter)l and change frequently. Or ap ply a hot solution of permanganate (1 per cent on a raw surface and 2 per cent if the surface is intact). Many persons prefer to make no application, exceptx plain hot water occasionally ,to relieve itching. Cases untreated do about as well as those treated. Exposure loJMe air seems beneficial. JThe old ' lead ' and opium wash should not be used.v It does no good , , and sometimes does harm. Oint ment and salves do harm. An oxide Lof"inc salve ,used just as the case tile thing to do is to enforce all the is getting well gives some relief from Itching and does no harm. As to tho long list of cures, each with its friends and advocates, what shall be said? If any man wants to use. his cure, let him do so. Nature will cure him with the aid of the cure or in spite of it, provided, he will wash off as much of the poison as possible with soap aud water, will tjot spread the disease with hands or dressings and will not smother the sores with treatment.

Tn.Thd Editor of The Bee: Under the cap- j tion, "German Craft and Allied Credulity," you advance to the dig nity ot an editorial the dispatch of one Henry Wales, your European correspondent, wherein be purposes to picture the recent revolution Jn Germany as"a gigantic bluff cam ouflage for desire on the part of the schemers at Berlin to secure fur theroncessions on treaty terms." It may not have been his intent ' to "release'.' this "news" for publication on "ApHl 1." What ulterior propaganda pur poses prompted the same is well in dicated by the following brief edi torial In the New Republic of March 1: . s . "The French" foreign office is tak ing no chances. If left to form an independent judgment, it fears that American opinion might possibly ar rive t at entirely unofficial , con clusions about what is happening in Germany So the American news paper correspondents in Paris are' summoned -to the Qua! d'Orsay to have things put straight for them. There is no real clanger, either in this first flurry or at asome later date, of Spartacide rule in Germany. I If the British and Italians think it I necessary to fortify the present Ger- I man government 'by concessions in the treaty, they are mistakep. No, i more mercilessly that treaty which undermines the position of any mod erate government In Berlin. This is the news which the foreign office wants cabled to America." ' It is thus that the grave danger of our learning the truth about condi tions in Germany must be averted. The doom of hunger and starvation, the appalling results of the blockade, the utter despair over the Impossible terms of the 'treaty, as reflected dally In a thousand papers all over Germany.-are nothing but camou flage, if we must believe French poli ticians, who, again quoting from the New Republic, "are chiefly respon sible for. the disintegration which has overtaken Europe aince the ar mistice." It would seriqusly Inter fere with their imperialist plans -to have even a semblance of sympathy develop in the United States for the sufferings of the German people, with whom, as President Wilson has often avawed, we were never'at war.
