AMERICA AT SAN REMO.
The action of President Wilson in sending
Ambassador Johnson to San Remo will meet
approval. Although the United States has no
vote in the proceedings, not having declared
war on Turkey, our interest in the outcome is
direct. The president already has spoken very
decisively as to the attitude of America towards
Turkey. So far as The Bee knows, not a word
of dissent has come from any influential quarter
in this country concerning the demand that
Turkey be expelled from Europe. Whether this
will yet involve our government in the Turkish
mandatory is not so important as that what
ever adjustment is made at San Remo take a
form that can be given American consent.
Much regret has been expressed at the posi
tion taken by Lloyd George, his conclusions
being vigorously challenged at home by Mr.
Asquith and Earl Curzon, who see no reason
for. the retention of any part of European soil
by the Ottoman government. Herbert Adams
Gibbons, in a current magazine article throws
considerable light on the situation. To take
Constantinople from the Turk means putting
some European nation in possession of the city.
This nation logically is Greece. Just at the
moment that government is not sufficiently
strong to maintain itself in such position, al
though Mr. Gibbons sees its development to
where it will again take its place among the
important powers of the worlds In this situa
tion may be discerned the jealousy of Italy for
' control of the eastern end of the Mediterranean,
and perhaps something of the real reason back
of the determination not to expel the "unspeak
able" from Europe.
- The Bee has pointed out in times past that
the United States must be ready to assume its
full share of "the white man's burden," and if
it be determined that this means guardianship
over Armenia and Turkey, wc may as well take
it cheerfully. For this reason, the presence of
the American ambassador at San Remo is of
tremendous interest to this "country.
A Congressional Summer Outing.
Astonishing news conies from Washington,
to the effect that a large group of senators and
representatives propose to treat themselves to
a wonderful summer outing at expense of the
government. A sixty-day cruise of the Orient
is proposed, to gain first-hand knowledge of
conditions in order that future legislative action
may be intelligently taken. This the pretext,
but the public will quickly discern the real rea
son behind the proposal.
; Junkets at public expense are not uncom
mon things. Many a statesman has visited and
been entertained to his heart's content on the
slender excuse that he was getting knowledge
that would be of service to the public. None,
however, ever attained the proportions of this
one. We can understand without effoit just
why Secretary Baker is willing to provide the
army transports that will be needed to provide
the party with quarters. No man in America
is more in need of support in congress at this
moment than the secretary of war, and it would
be right into his hand to have the members who
are to decide on his acts become beneficiaries
of his prodigality in expending public money.
What we can not understand is the mental
processes of the mind that conceived the pro
gram or of those who have tentatively accepted
the suggestion. Granted that congress has
worked hard, that some of those now in service
have been in Washington' almost continually for
five years, and that all are entitlod to credit for
having stuck so close to business in the crisis,
there yet appears nothing that can justify such
an expenditure as the trip would involve. One
thing may be accepted in advance; if the mem
bers take the trip as a means for recreation, it
will be prefatory to a long vacation for many if
not all. so far as service in congress is con
cerned. ,
Give the devil his due, though. The whole
expense is not to be put on the government.
Those who go will contribute $1.25 a day for
subsistence, about the price of a single modest
luncheon at either of the capitol restaurants.
A German Cargo.
Eleven million pounds of potash from Ham
burg, Germany, arrived in this country the other
day in a Japanese bottom. It is to be used as
a fertilizer and the cargo's value was $377,163.
This is another illustration of the fact that
In spite of the animosities aroused by war,
economic principles go into immediate opera
tion at the earliest possible moment. Demand
and supply get together with almost as much
certainty as the physical law of cause and effect.

the wireless or something like that, eageily at
tentive as the announcement was made that their
"Old Doc" Bryan for surely they must have
one had come under the wire for the uiusteenth
time, a glorious winner. At any rate, no tick
ing or crackling in the receiver gave a hint at
Fort Omaha or elsewhere, so far as is reported,
that the Martians had anything to say to us.
Disappointment indeed, but wait until next time.

B. L. T."
Origin of False Beliefs.
Long before Socrates rejected the physical
and mathematical speculations of the Sophists,
took up virtue and morality as the need of his
times, and inaugurated the Greek age of faith;
before his great biographer Plato founded his
Academy; and indeed ever since, mankind has
been swayed by its beliefs rather than by exact
knowledge.
Belief is a state of mind, the dictionary tells
us; one in which "trust, confidence, or reliance
is placed in some person or thing," which is
why it is that
He that complies against his will,
Is of his own opinion still.
His beliefs are not things he can shift read
ily. The mere desire to accept this or that will
not bring true belief. To believe, the thing be
lieved must conform to the experience or in
formation of the believer. Whence it comes
that if a man's education is wrong, or his in
formation faulty, his beliefs are almost certain
to partake of error and falsity.
There is a vast fund of accurate knowledge
in existence, but tfie volume of error is enor
mously greater. It prevails among people of
deficient education and limited intelligence, and
so the large portion of humanity which has had
sma.ll opportunity for enlightenment is often
misled into wrong buf honest beliefs which re
sult in unwise action on their part. To illustrate:
The voters in a pure democracy, if called upon
to decide a question of government financing,
if ignorant of 0ie principles of political economy,
might easily be led to vote wrong, and so injure
their country, because unable to weigh argu
ments properly. Having no exact knowledge
on the issue, their influence would be baneful,
no matter how honest their belief might be.
We heard a preacher once apply the same idea
in a theological dispute. He said to a disbe
liever: "It makes no difference what you be
lieve or disbelieve, the truth will get you in the
end if you do not play safe." He was right.
All over the world now ettorts are being
made to make people believe things. Almost
all, if not all men act on their beliefs. If, there
fore, the propagandist for this or that sinister
and dangerous proposal can win people to his
ideas, he makes his point, no matter how false
his teachings may be, nor how honest is his
own conviction that he is right. The gifted
persuader of men, the master of the art of win-
r , 1 t.:- ...a.I. If 1,1c halinfc arp
ning commence uy m wuius u.
false, is a public menace. His personal in
tegrity or lack of it does not change the fact.
Error is error, no matter by whom advocated.
People who want to know the truth must
seek knowledge first if they would act in ac
cordance with right, and be very slow to give
their "trust, confidence or reliance to any
oerson or thing" individual, book, pamphlet,
newspaper or public condition until investiga
tion and actual knowledge justify tnem m so
doing.
Wisdom comes from knowledge in busi-
. r e - e
ness and every activity and decision ot me so
cct knowledge accurate and definite knowledge
and decline to swallow everything you hear
nr read as truth. In this way only may a man
keep the beliefs on which he acts, sound. It J
is the rule of all good merchants to weign,
gauge or measure everything they buy before
paying for it. An equally good rule is to con
sider well and decide slowly before accepting
beliefs urged upon you especially in these
times when everybody is full of opinions, many
of which are half-baked, biased and adulterated
with vital errors. If you listen to them, do so
with the knowledge that the honest belief be
hind any opinion may be all wrong.
Price Too High? Quit Buying.
Whenever any food product takes such an
amazing jump in price as potatoes have in the
past few weeks the public may be sure that
there's something rotten in Denmark, that some
way, somehow, somebody is pocketing a lot
of money he is not entitled to have. The pub
lic has stood for this sort of conscienceless
profiteering so long that only one thing will
stop it, which is to cease buying the boosted
article. There are half a dozen substitutes for
potatoes. Use them and continue to use them
until the potatoes rot in the bins of the cold
storage houses. That's the only way. The
government at Washington is absolutely im
potent in checking profiteering. The people
must use the remedy that is in their hands.
Nothing From Mars.
They were all tuned up the wireless oper
ators. It was the critical minute in the sidereal
year, when Mars made its nearest approach to
Earth. Only a trifling matter of some 60,000,-000-odd
kilometers, more or less, separated the
orbits of the two worlds. Of course Martians
were just aching to talk to their cousins here,
and you know how anxious we were to hear
frotn them. So the wireless people just got
busy, set the stage, tuned up their receivers and
waited. That's all. Perhaps the Martians had
been holding a primary of their own, and had
forgotten the date with Earth, while they
listened to whatever substitute they have for
Omaha for Middle Point Academy.
More military academies for the training of
officers are needed in the United States. Agita
tion for their establishment is going on in the
east. West Point cannot possibly supply pres
ent and future needs. There must be a Middle
Point, a Pacific Point and a Southern Point.
Obviously, unmistakably and inevitably Omaha
is the place for the Middle Point academy. It
has the climate, the transportation connections,
and the geographical and meteorological sur
roundings and conditions for the training of
men in the middle west tor m.ntary
young
service.
The "outlaw" strike will soon be only an
unwelcome memory. Things are steadily set
tling towards a normal basis in industry, and a
busy summer is promised in all lines.

EINSTEINIAN.
Sir: I was riding from Manitou to Colorado
Springs with Elmo, who, it is happy to assort,
had flunked freshman math for seven successive
years, when suddenly he ejaculated, "Somehow
it seems as if this here car is getting shorter."
"Naturally," spoke up the conductor, who was
standing hardby; "we always go faster past the
Garden of the Cods; it's down hill see!" Elmo
said he saw perfectly, and five minute later, in
the classroom, fluttered through the binomial
theorem with uncommon inaccuracy. That was
in 1915. Do you consider it significant?
THORN FALL.
Ye Ofl'fious KU.
(From the Anoka. Minn., Herald.)
For years Dr. Aldrich has been a leading
citizen of Anoka and one of the prominent
physicians also. She has been identified with
the many uplifting organizations of the city
and is a talented, intellectual woman with
a majestic presence that especially fits her
for exalted positions. She lives in a
palatial home 6iirrounded with luxury; yea,
sad to relate, that home has never re
sounded to children's voices, and perhaps
therein is the Doctor's only failing to do
her part in the great onward march ns or
dained by God. Possibly she is not alone
to blame for this seeming neglect of or-,
dained duty. . t

controversy over the desirability of a league of

A REAL CLASSIC.
Sir: The classics which you have been print

of them is a century old. I am sending you one
which dates back more than' fourteen centuries.
It is taken from my flies of the colyum which
Hierocles conducted) in Alexandria, and from
which on a previous occasior. I lifted one or two
wheezes for the Line. I am sure you will like
this one none the less for its literary flavor, I
call it a Burleson classic. Here 'tis: A chap
wrote to a friend who happened to be in Greece,
asking him to buy some books. The friend
neglected the request, and some time afterward
met the writer of the letter. "bay, old man,
he hastened to explain. "I never got that letter
you sent me about the books."
CALCITROSCS.
"THE mail truck sped away, and the police
man dashed after it. Krause protested that he
had to deliver his mail, so the policeman made
the rounds with him."
One is able to appreciate the rapid service
of the postoftice department after reading that
a mail wagon driver had to keep going after
killing a pedestrian. .
The Dawn of a Perfect Texas Day.
(From the Eastland Oil Belt News.)
Now, along the eastern horizon the spread
ing sky shows a shade of blue. The overhang
ing stars still gleam upon the canopy of night
clearly, but with a change rather than a diminu
tion of their radiance. Imperceptibly the scin
tillating brightness spreads like -a soft white
mist that follows the rain. Now, near the hori
zon a faint rosy blush appears, as charming as
that which diffuses the cheeks of maidenhood
a silver of gold illumines a previously unseen
cloud. Night still rule3, yet seems reluctant to
journey on.
A pale amber light below the stars reflect
the profiles of the city houses, bulking here and
there in shapeless masses out o the hitherto im
penetrable shadow. A horse nickers somewhere
in the darkness, and is answered by the sonorous
liaying of a dog, while a hurrying footstep is
heard out in the shifting sands of the unpaved
street, finally dying away in deathless silence.
Now, the eastern sky is all a pleasing
cerulean, flushing ever to a brighter beauty of
the spreading dawn. The baby stars have all
closed their bright eyes in daily sleep, and the
great ones night's valiant rear guard, still cover
their retreat. Swiftly the light broadens and
earthly sounds multiply. The pink turns to
rose to crimson. A symphony of light and
color freshens and blesses the restored earth.
Golden flashes along the horixon, a building
tipped with pinnacles of fire, and lo! above the
eastern rim of earth a curving disc of red-gold
appears. Like a king unto his own, comes the
Lord of Day to Eastland, and another busy day
has been born.

THE SLIGHTLY FEEBLE
MINDED.
Mental testing of children re
veals the fact that a certain percen
tage are feeble-minded in vurying
degrees. In the old days the imbe
ciles and idiots never got to school,
but when it came to the morons-
low grude, middle grade and even
high grade a certain amount of
schooling was demanded and the
teacher worked herself sick trying
to accomplish the Impossible.
Ofttimes the parent accused the
teacher of Incompetency because of
the small progress of some feeble
minded child. Dominating parents
of moron children have had more
than one teacher thrown out of her
position.
But the general recognition of a
condition known as fceble-minded-r.ess
did not end the teachers' prob
lems. There are bright children who
cannot be taught because of their
behavior. They do not fit into the
schoolroom population.
We are hearing much about de
mentia precox now. Dementia pre
cox is a loose term covering different
conditions, but in most of its phases
It is more a disease of the emotions
than of mentality. The attention
given to dementia precox is bringing
the behavior of the child into the
limelight.
A baby is an egotistic pnrasite, a
social and a moral. Until it is 5
years of age it remains self-centered,
egotistical, almost devoid of social
and moral qualities, unless it has
had unusual training of Its social
qualities. Between 5 and 12 or 13,
the age of puberty, the child spends
much of his timo in school. Dur
ing this period his environment
tends to socialize him. If ho is men
tally and emotionally normal he
learns to fit into the group. His
behavior is less in response to in
stinct and more determined by en
vironment, intellect, and emotion
than in the period under 5. During
puberty -and adolescence the emo
tions serve much more as a basis of
conduct than during either of the
earlier stages of development.
Soon after the termination of
school age the child ceases to be
parasitic, whereupon the punish
ments for failing to fit Into the
scheme of things and the rewards
for perfect adjustments are in full
operation.
During early childhood the con
duet of the child is determined very
largely by instinct. From that
time through the period of puberty
the emotions are the chief deter
miners of behavior. By emotions
are meaut minor as well as major
emotions.
Then come the life periods when
the intellect assumes dominance in
well-poised Individuals. There are
persons whose behavior is arrested
in Its development. Some never get
beyond the stage of instructive be
havior. Some progress to the stage
of emotional behavior and their de
velopment is arrested at that stage.
Some go on to the normal devel
opment of behavior determined by
intellect, emotion and instinct in
proper emotions. Some people even
become too coldly intellectual, their
behavior not being influenced
enough by the emotions or instincts.
In consequenco they fit too well in
the social body.
A child or adult may be mentally
"off" without provoking much irri
tation among his associates. He fits
in fairly well, though sometimes in
a negative way. A child or adult
that is "off" from the standpoint of
conduct or behavior is ."ar more
likely to get into trouble with his
fellow man, even though he be men
tally sound. When It comes to a
combination of mental deficiency
and lack of emotional stability such
as is found in certain types of insan
ity the individual is in trouble much
of the time.

DR IRVING S. CUTTER.
We've always manufactured lots of folks to
kill and waste, for that's an ancient habit and it
fits the public taste. But as our mental caverns
get a glimmer of the light, we knock upon the
system and declare it isn't right; and when the
doctors learn it all we'll live to ninety-nine, and
all the world will ring with joy and everything
be line.
For though we sing of pearly gates and
mansions in the sky, with ardor in our tones
and admiration in our eyes; and though we
speak of heaven with proprietary pride and
boost it to the heathen as a place they should
reside, at any sign of sickness we begin to kick
and yell and clamor for proficient aid to come
and make us, well.
The genrremen who answer to our loud and
hasty yelp are many of them qualified through
Doctor Cutter's help. He aids the university
to grind its grist of docs who struggle with the
incidents which try to stop our clocks, who
give us gargles, poisons, pills and othor little
things to save us the embarrassment of wear

He heads the useful hospital where these am

amount of the insurance carried with you having been sent us within three days after our statement of loss was received by your adjustor. At
our total loss on this building under present prices was far beyond the insurance carried, your promptness in settlement is satisfactory indeed.
Yours very truly,
Silas B. Lyman.
