THE FARMER GETTING WISE.
The farmer is the only man whose food sup
ply is safe and sure. "He grows' it himself,"
while the rest of us get it as we catch fish
with silver bait. While we have been enjoying
the comforts, conveniences, amusements and
social pleasures of the cities, and taking ad
vantage of its many money-making' opportuni
ties, the farmer has been watching us. He has
seen the great industrial organizations boosting
wages and decreasing working hours, while pro
testing against the increased cost of farm prod
ucts and demanding greater efforts from the
farmer. As the New York Evening Mail re
marks : , '
The farmer is too sensible of the require
ments of his work to demand an eight-hour
day. He is willing to work ten hours, and
even twelve hours, in cases of necessity. But
he feels the injustice of being expected to
labor such long hours at burdensome work
the most burdensome in the world to swell
the earnings and add to the comforts and the
luxuries ot the city workers.
No city worker can justly blame the farmer
for that feeling, nor need the city dweller be
surprised nor indignant over another fact called
to public attention by the same paper when it
says;
Smarting under that sense of injustice, 17
per cent of our agricultural workers, as shown
by the government survey, have abandoned
the country since last year and have come to
the cities to get their share of the shorter
hours, the easier work and the pleasanter way
.of living.
That ominous decrease in the number of food
producers is likely to continue rather than cease,
unless farm life is made more alluring and
profitable tq those who now live it, and suffi-'
ciently attractive to draw recruits from the cities
in large numbers.
The farmer might grow more content 'with
his lot, less inclined to move to town, if he got
his fair share of the profits on what he pro
duces, but he almost despairs of that when he
sees the potatoes he sold in the fall for $2 a
bushel selling in the spring .for $8 or $10
to the profit of storage men and speculators. .
The farm problem is beginning to press hard
on i the future of the cities. Food means more
than steel or wool or even cotton, now 40 cents,
a pound and aiming ajt 60. f the president had
been one-tenth "as much concerned over the
profits of northern farmers during the past four
years as he has been over those of the southern
cotton and cane planters, we would have no
farm problem to face now. - t
Presidential Primaries Indecisive. .
The primaries to select delegates .to the
Chicago convention are nearly over. Pennsyl
vania and Vermont republicans will vote May
' 18th, Oregon on the 21st, and West Virginia on
the 25th. Fourteen other states have held direct
primaries, and no candidate has won enough
delegates to dominate the convention.
Perhaps it is just as well so. The primaries
have not expressed in any. definite way the will
of the- party at large, because the party as a
whole did not attend them. In Ohio, for in
stance, where a favorite son met and won in a
contest, we know a county in which the pri
mary was described as a "farce" because of lack
of attendance. Yet that county is rock-ribbed
, in its republicanism. The contest the state over
was described as bitter in its intensity. But the
people, were not aroused. In all Maryland only
23,959 votes were cast, with more than '50,000
republican votes in . Baltimore alone, and a
population of 800,000 outside that city.
The conclusion is irresistible that the direct
primary system has failed of its purpose. It is,
perhaps, and will continue to be, an expression
of factional feeling, but voters who rally to fac
tional contests are not the ones who .decide
national elections.
Action by the four states yet to vote is not
expected to add dominating impressiveness to
the showing of any candidate, and we are left
to exactly the same sort of convention delibera
tions under which Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Gar
field, Blaine and McKinley were nominated. We
had great presidents. under the old system, so
we need not s be disturbed now because the
direct' primaries have failed to reveal the will
of the party.
Why the Bonus is Opposed.
Late news from Washington indicates that
the bill for a bonus to the soldiers may be set
over until after election next fall. In the hope
of putting the matter out of 'politics, the con
gressmen are making all the more certain that
it will become an issue in the campaign. Sen
timent in favor of the measure is increasing
daily, and the principal opposition to it comes
from big concerns on whom will fall the burden
of the tax that must be raised to pay it. It is
natural that a reduction in taxes should be
sought. The problem has another angle, though.
Reports from the great corporations of the
country show a steadily mounting ratio of prof
its, growing out of not only the war, but of the
conditions that followed. The war produced a
very large crop of millionaires, each of whom
owes a large portion of his newly acquired
wealth to the boys who made up the A. E. F.
It is true that the tax will add to burdens
already borhe, but if it be contrasted with what
might have happened if it had not been for
those boys, the impost will-f fern feather light.
Moreover, it is high time Americans were break-
; in away from ticir. chawcttfjitic attitude of
neglect and indifference towards the soldiers,
and giving them something molt substantial
than three cheers.
The sum required is insignificant when set
alongside the service. The obligation on the
nation and on the state as well is as imperative
as any ,it ever discharged. Congress will not
go far astray if it heeds the plain call, and gives
the soldiers that to which they are entitled.
Du Ponts and the Dye Industry.
Avoiding in all ways any reference" to the
possible effect the letter from the Du Pont pub
licity manager may have, either on the can
didacy of General Wood, or on the status, of the
due industry bill before the United States sen
ate, there remains much to be said.. One of the
points brought out by Senator Moses is the fear
of the New England textile manufacturers that
they are to be shut off from a supply of "su
perior dyes." This means German dyes.
At the time the German kaiser precipitated
the world war, the dye making industry was
controlled by the Germans."1 Their chemists
had brought it almost to perfection. , Through
patient skill they were enabled to arrange the
particles of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon in
such multifarious combinations as produced rare
and delicate shadings, ranging through a
schedule of differentiated colors that not only
challenged admiration, but baffled understanding.
The mind is incapa"ble almost of conceiving the
marvelous hues that ravished the senses be
cause of the industry of these monarchs of re
search. And Germany dominated the , textile trade
of the world because the dyes were produced
in her vats. When the Deutschland docked at
Baltimore after her record-making trip in 1916,
she brought a cargo of precious dyestuffs,
which was generally spurned by American deal-,
ers, because of the" sentiment against the Hun
already developed, and the desire to foster the
home dye industry, then showing signs, of re
vival. ' " ' '
Announcement has been made that American
chemists can and do produce a colqr card equal
to the German. Whether this is exactly true
is not so important as that,home manufacturers
are endeavoring to supply a home demand. It
is conceivable that wearers of cotton, silks and
other fabrics may a little longer sustain the in
convenience of inadequate dyes until the need
can be competently met from home. If wc are
to submit to a monopoly, it is far preferable that
it be an American institution. The war awak
ened' us to certain shameful conditions in re
gard to essential industries for which correction
has been effectively sought, and it is only stupid
to talk of return to the point we were forced
to abandon in order to help ourselves.
An Unlawful Killing. ' ' 1
A Christian Scientist was found guilty of
manslaughter in a New Jersey court last week
because his daughter died of diphtheria after he
had deprived her of medical treatment and per
mitted her to have only iChristian Science min
istrations. -a
On the witness stand the accused father de
clared his absolute faith in Christian Science,
and asserted that it would cure consumption,
cancer, fevers and other diseases. It did not,
however, cure the diphtheria that killed ' his
daughter.
The case excited extraordinary attention.
Forty-five Christian Science churches in New
Jersey offered to finance the defense, which was
based on the theory that a man has a right to
control 'and decide what treatment his family
shall have for illness, according to his educa
tion or religious belief. But the jury took the
position that no relative who denies a sick mem
ber. of his family medical relief, and substitutes,
for it a belief, religious or otherwise, whicn
practices suggestive therapeutics for cases
which require medicines or surgical attention,
can be held blameless if death follows.
The convicted man's counsel announced that
an appeal would be taken. It should be taken '
to the highest court and a rule established as
to what authority shall control the treatment of
disease, the recognized and legally authorized
and educated medical profession, or the teach
ings of a religious sect which invades the juris
diction of the medical profession and receives
fees for undertaking the'cure of disease by
wholly mental processes. '.
One of the Construction Problems. '
While the housing situation has received
chief attention because of its mor,e acute aspects,
there is another problem of construction that is
pressing very persistently for solution. r That is
the building of railroad equipment. The de
mand for new locomotives and cars is the thing
that the managers of transportation have to
face. Even before the war the shortage of
freight cars was pronounced, and the lessened
output while the war was on has left-the rail
roads without many thousands of cars that are
vitally necessary to their business. The public
feels this shortage directly, for the interruption
in freight traffic is not wholly due to switch
men's or other labor strikes. Until a sufficient
supply of rolling stock is available, the move
ment of raw materials to market and the return
of manufactured goods to consumers will be
interfered with. Whether the managers are
doing their utmost to remedy the situation is
beside the question. Jf the transportation in
dustry is to be brought up to a state of serv
ice, this one phase of its. activity must speedily
be solved. .
Ships That Didn't Pass in Court.
A thin, trembling old woman was arraigned
in court at Atlantic' City Wednesday last for
stealing milk from a doorstep. I was starving,
the culprit said. "What is your riame?" asked
the court. "Elizabeth Weinberg," replied the
derelict.
Thereupon the judge asked a number of ap-!
parently irrelevant questions. Then he said:
You're discharged, and if you'll come to
my law office after court you will' receive a
check for $5,000. I have been hunting for
Elizabeth Weinburg for , many months to

The men who juggle freight are an uncon

with haste unduly hot. The foreman cries,
"Speed up! speed up! This ship is due to sail.
This smart accommodation train has passengers

And thus they work with speed which is sur

hardware high on top in swift and artless style.
They may exhibit . some respect for rubber,

How to Keep Well
By Dr. W. A. EVANS v
RENTS THAT CHILDREN PAY.
Just now the people think most of
me ills from which children suffer
are the result of malnutrition. Near
ly every city now has its nutrition
classes and there is a national nu
trition clinic, association.
Without unduly undervaluing
these claims, J. Lawson Dick of
London shies a castor into the ring,
He claims that most of the ills of
children are due to bad housing. He
has written a srhall book on de
fective housing and the growth of
children In which he argues that
living in insanitary 'houses causes
children to have rickets and this
causes them to stop growing or to
grow crooked.
He says: "The essential factor In
terfering with the normal growth of
the child is defective housing. A
child that has been born healthy
begins to develop defects when
about six months of age. During the
period two to six years the child
stays rather closely in 'the house and
around home and he gets pro
gressively worse. 1
"In his earlier years at school he
Is backward mentally and physically
below par. As he gets a little older
the hours in a schoolroom, which is
more sanitary than his home, and
his hours of pray on the street be
gin to overcome the bad effects of
his poor hpme, he improves phys
ically and he picks up in his school
work amazingly."
The signs of rickets by which he
judges are several. The teeth of
children who have had rickets are
of poor quality. The enamel is
honeycombed, imperfect and fre
quently ridged. The teeth which are
most often affected are' the central
and later ihcisors and the first mo
lars or jaw teeth. Decay is early
and rapid. Sometimes the teeth
seem .to cave down.
The ribs are beaded. Many are
chicken-breasted. In some the breast
bone is sunken. The chestis apt to
become lopsided. -The upper part of
one chest flattens a little and the
lower part of the other chest bulges;
one shoulder goes up and a slight
curvature of the spine develops. In
babies the head is large, the soft
spots large, the skin is thin, and blue
veins show on the forehead and
temples. In older children the head
appears to be rather massive. It
bulges on the side over the ears.
Tonsils, adenoids and glands are oft
en enlarged. Many of the children
are anemic and suffer from persist
ing colds.
Physicians have expended a lot of
energy in studying rickets. They
were disposed to attribute it to bad
feeding for awhile. In New York
City the health department gives
away cod liver oil to the children
of certain sections because they
think rickets can be prevented in
that-way.
Of course, this practice is based
on the thought, that poor nutrition
is a considerable factor in the dis
ease. Howevr, the more recent
opinions are to the effect that bad
housing, bad ventilation, lack of sun
light and air, and unclennly sur
roundings are mora important than
cod liver oil.
Many authorities hold with Dick
that poor housing is the most im
portant factor in rickets, jlf they
can prove that rickets is a wide
spread disease producing great arid
lasting harm they make out a good
case against bad housing and slums.
Says Dick in summarizing: It is
self-evident that the remedy is not
to . build sanitaria but to demolish
slums.

About Omaha Water Power,
Omaha, May 8. To the Editor of
The Bee: You were kind to publish
my letter regarding "Water Itower
In Nebraska." I then discussed the
water possibilities of the Platte-and
the Loup. . In this letter I will give
the many readers of The Bee' my
unbiased opinion of the Elkhorn and
Niobraxa. ,
The Elkhorn from Norfolk to
Fremont has several places where a
waterpower could be developed. At
no place with the exception of one
could a power be developed that
would yield much above -50 horse
power. This amount of power
would be sufficient to furnish light
and power to the town only where
it is located. The place- Mother Na
ture has favored where power
could be established that would de
velop to my estimation in the neigh
borhood of BOO horsepower Is some
where above West Point. If this
river would be tapped In the right
place, and let down about four miles,
it would be a power plant that could
be considered a good one. But it
would be of considerable expense,1
and I would hardly dare to estimate
it. I believe at this point of the
river, the sand, which is strong in
the Elkhorn, could bo overcome. I
think some day the moneyed men of
that towa will wake up and see the
opportunity. N
I saw in The Bee of about 10 days
ago a letter from a Mr. Hale, who
stated that the Niobrara river could
be tapped every five miles, and
enough power generated to furnish
power and light for the state of Ne
braska and part of South Dakota
thrown in. . Can this river be tapped
every five miles? i think not. Any
experienced water power man knows
that no river can be tapped at as
short a distance as that, to gain any
power worth while. A four-mile
water race on this river would make
a water had, of from 16 to 18 feet,
developing say at the highest 600
horsopower. Now construct a dam
a mile below this head, back the
water up to the wheel pit of the first
tap, and what would be the result?
A dead power with no discharge of
the water in the first pit. This river
could be tapped for a hundred miles
not more than 10 times successfully,
and we will gave each tap an average
of 500 horsepower. This is making
Lit very high. Now we would have
5,000 horsepower on tnis river.
This talk, develop the waterpower
of the state and turn every wheel,
light every home and heat every
residence in the state, is nothing but
theory. For instance: Does the
average person know that it takes
from three to five horsepower to
heat a 6- to 10-room residence in the
winter?
This cry, "Develop the Water In
the State," is mostly .used by poli
ticians who are seeking office, who 1
could not give the first principle of
tapping the smallest creek in the
state. '
I am for water power, but want to
stay within the lines of reason. If
the people of this state should ever
listen to the advocates of "Let the
State Develop the Water Powers,"
we would have on hand another Hog
Island, $75,000,000 spent and no ship
floating. Yes, millions would be
spent and no wheel would turn. At
most no more than one-tenth of the
people of the state would have any
benefit from the undertaking, if
very water power should ba de
veloped. Now let me add there ar
few good water powers in the stato
which are developed today and are
furnishing excellent power, but tho
maintenance of these cost the own
ers considerable money and worry.
One power I know of in the state is
at Cedar Rapids. This fa the most
perfect power,' according to my
opinion, as It Is almost natural.
Again, let me atate I am writing this
letter from an unbiased opinion, Juki
to give the many readers of Tho Bet.
an opinion of what it would mean
to lend our ears to men who know
nothing or very little of developing
water power.

be getting too much. Let the moth
er try cutting down the food slight
ly, say one less feeding at night.'
Leave tha.baby at the breast a sligHt
ly shorter time. However, do not
wean her or materially change the
present program. Give water and
the various aromatic teas. Trotting
her on the mother's shoulders helps
somewhat in giving relief. '
2. Train the girl to eat, a more
varied diet. She needs bread, milk
puddings, soups, vegetables, meat
bones. Let her play in the open air,
encourage her to eat. You need not
worry.
