'Action by the federal authorities in arresting leaders of the outlaw railroad strike at Lhi tago suggest that the real character of the demonstration is recognized. What at first seemed to be but a sporadic protest against wages and working conditions of men whose pay is small in comparison with that of others, now appears to have been part of a very definite program. The spread of the strike has been ( characterized by features that lead inevitably to the conclusion 'that it wasell- conceived and j; has been ably directed. v N Almost immediately after the ' strike took form in Chicago, beads of the railroad brother hoods sought to induce men to 'return to their jobs. Word was then giveft out that the revolt was against the leaders of the well 'established v unions pf enginemen, trainmen .and yardmen. Under color of this the -strike was spread throughout the land. Does it seem reasonable that such a. revolt could exist without having shown symptoms earlier? - $ , Every outward and visible element or' the "disturbance suggests shrewd planning ami ef- fective organization, carried on by 'men who are ; skilled in such workaqd under direction of ."some one with ability. Grunau's union did not ; spring up like Jonah's gourd, over night, with '. out previous preparation. Men did not break ' away from loyaltyt old established organiza ' tions, from which they had steadily been re ceiving benefits in form of advanced wages, im proved working conditions and stronger social te w hi ifi wri chdosint Tt Analysis roust convince atfy thinking mau that back of this (strike, is the spirit of revolu tion, manifest in the Seattle disturbance, and spread by the I. W. W., bolshevists, "O. B. U." and socialist promoters. One of the cardinal principles of these is that no! strike is ever set tled. They go from one "to anothef, steadily ben on destructiop, aiming at. the overthrow, not enly of the socalled "capitalist" iystem of ' industrial organization, but including in their scheme the abolishment of the republic s it ex ; ins. 'The commune is their goal, and they are "relentless in their activity. Many honest workmen are deluded by these dangerous agitators and criminal - anarchists. Leaden of union labor have strenuously en deavored to cdmbat the virus, and with spme success, but the menace to . the public is real, and can not be overlooked. Its )'remedy is "education, the dissemination of, Americana-prin-, ciples, to the end that "class consciousness" be nviped out in this land, and the worker, no. mat f ter viere, be made to understand tffat he is part ot the government, responsible for Its laws and thjt just as he is steadfast, so wUI our in , stitutions be stable and permanent.

N Now thai the big eastern dailies are coming to realize, tllat John J. Pershing really is a can didate for the presidency, it is pleasing to notfe that all unite 'on 'one strong point, in his favor. Tbat isNhis steady character. This was one of the first thing's The Bee Called attention to when it presented his .name to Nebraskans. Stability f character and tenacity of pur pose have m&rked Pershing in all his work. He has shown more breadth of vision, imagination to conceive, and grasp the effect of a line of policy or course of action, and when .he has made up his mind thaf he is moving in the fight direction, he has been persistent to yie end. His. leadership of men rests on this qual ity, for he inspires confidence through his1 own steadfastness. A When in France the hour ofdarkest gloom brooded over the world, and the fate of democ racy was trembling on a hair, Pershing moved jealously, swiftly and wisely. No rash immilse led him into imprudent effort. He analyzed, organized, and detertimed, and when hefnew he was ready, he said so, aud from that day the result of the war was never in doubt. In this time of unrest Americans are looking for just such a man. , . , The country needs a man who has made good, who has been tested and proved as to his ability, initiative, capacity, faculty for, prompt decision and actjion. Each day brings new proof that Pershing is such a man. That is Miy Ne braska can so confidently offer him to the country. s ( a miri.l.-: ; r . ' c i.

Vail,V Another giant figure in the worl4 of industry is removed itwthe death of Theodore N. Vail. Hf was not idly .tailed the greatesf telephone. t man in the .world. TJiat distinction was ably won by him, because it was through his fore sight and! genius for organization that th"e great industry was built up to its magnificent propor tions for service. The story of his life is an- , other of the romantic records of a poor man from obscurity to prominence and affluence thrdugh dint of hard and well directed work. One more ' ,narne' is thus added to the galaxy of America's ' great ones, the glittering proof thatthis is a latid'of opportunity. Omaha's interest in Theo dore N. Vail -is direct, for it was here he maijf hiv start. -Here he lived as young mat), de veloping himself along lines that eventually led him to greatest of success and fame. That -he ' never lost bits friendly interest in the cityNjias jeen amply, demonstrated. It fs curiously in- - - terastjng, also, thaLbe was one of a group of voung men attracted here by the extension of the telegraph across the continent who rose to national prominence. - Among these rames I are those of Creigh'ton, Clowry, Dickey, Rose- '- water and Vail. Omaha gained much because of them," and. the contribution of Mr. Vail to the city's firfe development was not the least of the contributions. ' ' Georgia Peach Growers Feeling Fine. -Georgia's petch prospect never was better than now Her' fruit growers are confident of the most successful year in her peach history. The trees have escaped frost that killed 90 per cent of the crop in Arkansas, Texas and Mis souri, and 50 per cent In Colorado and Utah. Ten thousatvd cars of peaches are expected he biggest yield the state ever had. The -Atlanta fruit exchange makes no pre diction on prices, awaiting complacently later figures em the shortage in other peach growing i states. , But we may be sure the figure will be vhigh enough ' to bring content to those- who iudare the aweetness of a peach by its price. Nothing is out yet on "the waterrrielefh pros- pect in Geofgiay That humble; but glorious :- product seldom fails to bring summer solace to the north. Last year bumper melons brought When a distinguished son of Ohio, bom and raised in an atmosphere of intense republican ism, arises in the house of representatives to prafse a speech made hry a colleague born 'and raised under the partisan democratic, influences which prevail iu Mississippi, instant interest is aroused. 'Particularly Is this the case when .the subject matter is political and involves ques tions on which party advantage usually takes precedence over truth. - ' The speech which impelled Fess of ' Ohio publicly to declare that Sisson of Mississippi "rose to the height of a splendid statesman" in remarks characterized by "sound sense ap tremendous forceJs brought to our attention by Jhe New York Sun. Mr. Sisson agrees with political economists who "divide wealth into three classes, food, clothing '-and building mar. terial; rlassifying as fuel artificial food and arti ficial clothing." Then he said: Whatever reduces food, clotKing and build ing material reduces' the wealth of the na tion. 1 Whatever tends to reduce production the strike, boycott, riot, war or too many people on the payroll of the government anything w-hich swells the unproductive list all tend to increase the scarcity of food, clothing and building' material. s ' Plain facts which need but to be mentioned io receive acceptance! by sensible men "But imagine a Mississippi congressman speaking of "too many people on the payroll of the govern ment" when it is lousv with southern oarasites! rNo wonder congress sat up and took notice of what followed. 'Mr. Sisson continued: I know of no way to increase the wealth of a nation except upon that basic principle laid down in, "Genesis that it is by the sweat ,of a man's face that he must earn his daily bread. K know of no way of producing food except by the cultivation of Vthe soil. . So that I ,do not believe that upon the floor othis con gress we ought to play horse with this ques-' tion. Congress, in my judgment, can do but little to reduce the high cost of living. Y I hear ministers preaching on this-' text. "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.". I do not know that they preach too much about it; I do noo condemn them for .it, I commend ihem, "but I have never heard a minister of the gospel preach a sermon from -the words following that text,. "Six days shaft thoti labor." Timely words, those, for a country whose population, in many industrial centers, is beht 6n reducing production on the false belief that greater prosperity and higher wages will follow' disobedience to God's command: "Six days J shaltthou labor," On that basis'alone can hu manity thrive, as six th6usand' years of ex perience have proven. Then! Mr. Sisson, after puncturing the bub ble, of government ownership of railroads, added: . , In- my. judgment our1 government was in tended only, as conceived by our fathers, to i give to every man in this republic a fair, -qual opportunity to develop himself in accordance with those powers which God has given him. If he is energetic, if he is wise, if he is thrifty, if he is economical, he will succeed. 'If he (is unwise, if he is thriftless, if he is extravagant. he will not succeed. So that government j wjxcli rewards endeavor makes the best citi zenship on. earth, but that government which taxes endeavor for the purpose of rewarding people who do not make any endeavor will not livelong in the minds, and hearts of a people That can and will make a nation great. - Ben Franklin could not have said it better. The drones and holiday seekers, the shirks and the dodgeas, the loafers and loiterers rich or poor should .never get encouragement from MARS will be, on April 23, as nearyto the earth as she can get without disarranging her orbit;" so if there is anything you particularly wish to ask the Martians we will try to get them on the wireless. . C. D.'s Fainlljj Door. Sir: So C. D.'s family doctor says that any, one who says tnit the hair grows after death ia a '''blankety-blknk" liar.. I can see the old "gent" right now: He graduated twenty years ago from a three-year course of lectures in"a 'second-class medical school. . He has never opened a text book or seen a medical; journal since. He weighs 210 pounds, mostly in front. He wears two fraternal emblems on his coat lapel and three orcirts watch chain. He knows an his patients by their first names. All his finger-nails are in mourning. When he calls to see a sick patient he always looks af the tongue first. He admits that he cured 98 per cent of his influenza patients with "tfill'-Joy's Flu Balm." And that's the "bird" that r C. D. .cites as. an authority against Witthaus and Becker! That's the "seedy bird" that C. D. depends on to keep him in health! God tatiP him! .Is he looking for an ostrich that keeps its head beneath the sand? This "bird" has had. his head beneath the sand for twenty years. Fpr my part, I am willing to leavei the question to the undertakers. '' - M. F. SPEAKING of "authentic instances," C. D., Hhe original disturber, relays to .us the following r i t : mi t: iruiu uic juujstiuc i lines. . Inspired by the missions of James Moore Hickson, the Rev. Finley F. Gibson, pastor of the Walnut Street Baptist church, preached last night on faith from a passage in the Old Testa ment, In which he described the leprosy of Naon. i Dr. Gibson said, in substance: " "While in Memphis last week I was told that. It contained the most wonderful Negro man I have ever ibeard of; that this Negro could blow his breath on my handkerchief and set it afire. "The Negro, who is a devout Christian, 60 years old, was brought before fme, with a num ber of other ministers present. His sleeves were rolled Hp and he was made to wash his mouth thoroughly with ice watef I held my handker chief before him and he brew' his breath azainst 4t, and,"' to my astonishment, it was set afire. Here is the handkerchief." He showed it with four burned holes in it to the congregation. "Nqw, if you don't-bejieve me, go to Mem phis and see fbr yourself," continued Dr. Gibson. This Negro man ia mployed in the Illinois Central, railroad shops in that city. He has been offered $700 a week to exhibit this wonderful gift he.hqs possessed since a child, on the stage, but has refused, ''saying that the good lord en dowed him with this remarkable gift and he would not commercialize it." v ' i government enactment A Glimpse of Dark Days'. Long forgotten court records brought to light would reveal many of the steps taken in he onward and upward march of civilization. One of them which recalls a law of sixty or more years ago was dug out of the dust in the court house at Clarksburg, W. Va., the other day. It was an indictment found by a grand jury against Horace Greeley, editor of the New: York Tribune, for circulating copies of his paper in Harrison county, Virginia, which 'con tained articles tending to incite negro slave's to insurrection. The world has made considerable progress since then. . ;...'

(A Fable.) ; Tn one of the many Vanished civilizations which antedate recorded history by several aeons and a few eras, it came about one warm day that Pestilence and the Fool-killer met in a cer tain thirst emporium and sat at the same wire legged table.' Having introduced Themselves they , soon became intlmat. ordered various rounds, of innucuous drinks, and freely dis cussed their; respective callings. "Is it not a disgrace to. Life and True Science," queried Pestilence, "the manner in whlchleglslatures try to curtail your function and Pseudo-Scientists, mine? In not a few states already it is illegal for you to do your regular Job; you have to work, clandestinely, with the result that in those states Foolishness has long since passed the danger -point, and Damn-foolishness is rapidly 'approaching it." "Your acumen is admirable, brother," re-v joined the Fool-killer. "I- have been allowed to do so little lately that I am getting fat, and tire easily. And yew, to whom the gods assigned an important place in the great scheme of things, you are fought at every turn by those, alleged to be wise, who fancy that by thwarting natural laws they can imDrove the race. You rsmd I know, and a bare handful of others, that' improvement (for so thpy will call it) cannot come that way. 'Nature's openWons do not rest on sentimentality.., sir.gle seed, to Nature is of rto value. She makes a million kernels of corn to produce on corn stalk, and so with everything el$e; and tt self-stylpd superior beings pink that by destroying her delicate system of checks and balances they canv better matters, they will sooner or later discover their error." ' ''Quite so," answered Pestilence, "and per haps we had better let thm do so. ' I suggest' that you and I take a long 'lay-off' together and go fishing. Frojn afar we can tfatch the asy lums fill and overflow with imbeciles, idiots, and morons, breeding; like rabbits; see the unfit nur tured and . nursed through sentimental beneficence until they occupy the high plares; and observe population increasing at such a rate that the land cannot sustain them. , Then possibly. we shall be callfed barlj to our jobs, unless the srotfs sfeoukl decide to end it all by destroying, the whole mess themselves, and begin all over again." ' "Done," said the Fool klfieT; "let's go." But as they arose from their chairs the Keeper of the Joint, who had been hovering near and listening, approached tjiem, bowed low, and said apologetically, "Gentleanthropolds, for so I per ceive that you are by our speech, forgive me. for interfering. I am deeply interested in what you say, and .feel impelled to ask -you a ques tion. If you two forsake society, as you- pro pese'to do, and senflmentalism prevails. Is there no anthropoid agency whatever, the State, for example, that can, by asserting itself, 'prevent the unfit, and raise the level of intelligence?" - Pestilence turned away to hide a smite, but the Fool-killer, facing their host with a serious face, in his turn bowed low, and said, with an unwonted gentleness and kindliness, "My dear .sir, it can't be done." I ' . P. SCRIBBLES. WROTT. How to Keep Well By Dr. W. A. EVAftS PROFITABLE HEALTH MEASURES. . A few months agoMr. Morton of the American Steel and Wire com pany. In addressing the Art Service league, spoke of the prosperity that was forced upon people. His Illus tration was the oppositionof the old time blacksmith to automobiles. In spite of that opposition, automobiles had multiplied, and-the blacksmith is now the owner of a garage with a repair shop and rides to his work in a limousine. , We of the Chicago health depart ment were fond of telling how the health department, by compelling the paoking houses. to -prevent nuis ances by making use of all paTts ot the slaughtered animal, forced the Armours and Swifts and Morrisses to become millionaires. Illustrations might be multiplied a thousand-fold. Several years ago the hotelkeep ers of Maine concluded they would make a virtue of necessity.. Instead of having opportunity knock on their doors, they would anticipate the visit and knock first. They employed a trained sanitarian to inspect every hotel belonging to the association and not only advise as to sanitary improvement, ' but write a report to be published. This policy has been continued since, but, at the sug gestion' of the association, it is now an activity of the state board . of health. -v In the summer of n.919 over 600, 000 visitors came to Maine and spent 130,000,000 there. On Sunday, Au gust 3, 111 9, the inspector counted 3.S54 automobiles on the streets' of Dunstan. Of these, 1,238 bore li censes from states other than Maine. Vacation visitors are more likely to come to a state if they know pro tection of the health of hotel and re sort populations is a part of (he state policy. Dealing with this Il lustration concretely, in the past cer tain Massachusetts papers have warned people against the danger of typhoid fever as a result of a vaca tion in Maine. There can be no question that when a man leaves a city and goes for a vacation he runs a risk of con tracting typhoid, diarrhoea, or some other summertime disease, the aver age country typhoid rate being hiffher than that of the average city. The Maine inspector is a high grade sanitarian, and he makes a genuine inspection. Changes neces sary for the health of patrons are insisted upon.'- The hotel or. resort which is approved of la given two certificate. One certificate, that the water used as a source of supply is safe. The other certifies as to gen eralsanitary conditions.

Almost everyone is familiar with, the assistance' Of the Benevolent and Protective Onder of "Elks in the great war work. Which Included a million dollars put In reconstruc tion buildings and turned over to the government free to help put back the wounded and disabled sol diers of the late war as recon structed men. This order is con tinuing this work of reconstructing the disabled soldiers. In that ef fort the local order of Elks is put ting on a most wonderful moving picture show at the Br.ndeis theater for four days commencing with Sun day, and with two matinees. This film cost -the grand lodge of the order many thousands of dollars to prepare, and the local lodge guaran tees the entire expense of putting it on here. Every cent of profit above expenses goes for the most worthy purpose above mentioned.
