WHICH IS BETTER
BUSINESS OR POLITICS?
Witnesses in court are admonished to tell
not merely "the truth and nothing but the
truth" but "the whole truth" as well. This is.
recognition of the well-known fact, paradoxical
though it may sound, that the truth is, not al
ways truthful. Half-truths are the great weapon
of the adroit deceiver.
Thousands of post-cards have been circu
lated throughout Nebraska recently which pur
port to relate "The Truth About McKclvie's
Code Bill." But the statements printed on these
cards, being only half-truths, convey a totally
misleading implication.
This insidious propaganda indicates that he
administration of the state government under
the new system has cost more than under the
old, which suffered from a multiplicity of state
boards, conflicts of authority, and lack of cen
tered responsibility. This is true, but it is not
the whole truth. ' '
The whole truth is that, while the state is
spending more money than heretofore, it is un
dertaking many new activities and is serving the
people in many new fields.
For example, the post-card tabulation relates
that under the old system the administration of
the department of public works cost $15,827 and
under the new $16,087. No mention is made
of the fact that this department, during its oper
ation under the new code, has supervised the
expenditure of millions of dollars for road im
provement, whereas under the former system
its work was limited to hundreds of thousands.
What is true in this department is true else
where. Increased expenditures have come not
from extravagance due to the method of ad
ministration prescribed by the new code, but
because of increased undertakings of the state '
government, permitted and in most cases ex
pressly directed, by act of the legislature. The
mere expense of administration, confined purely
to the old and now outgrown activities, has
been $66,000 less than that which was appro
priated for these purposes when the legislature
undertook to provide for their conduct under
the old system.
The civil administrative code the application
of business organization to state government af
fairs has nothing to fear from the truth, pro
viding it is the whole truth. The Qnly recourse
which its opponents have is resort to half-truths.
On principle and general practice, the republican
administration which is responsible for the new
code has nothing to fear.,,
The Sidewalk Political Professor.
A fluent talker stands on the sidewalk talk
ing. -Two or three friends are listening. The
talker finishes his little political oration with:
"Take it from me, boys. I've got it tight."
But has he got it right? By what authority
does he set himself up as a teacher of his fellow
citizens? Upon what does he base his confident
assertions?
Is he a student of history, and therefore
wise? He is not. His ignorance of the history
of his own country is appalling. Of general
history he knows nothing. Is he a writer, and
therefore exact? He is not. Is he a reader, and
therefore full? He is. A reader of newspapers
only, and therefore full of the news of the day,
just as served by them his mind a jumble of
unrelated intelligence of all sorts. And upon
this foundation, having a ready tongue, he in
dulges in the favorite American pastime of tell
ing the other fellow all about it and advising
hfm what to do.
Now as a matter of fact no man is qualified
, to be even a curbstone political teacher ot his
fellow-countrymen who does not know the his
tory of his own country. Only by knowledge
. of past events can one judge with any accuracy
the effect uponhe future of any political policy.
Just now, as never before, a course in American
history from its beginning is needed by citizens.
There is time to get it before November. "His
tory makes men wise," and we need wise men.
But all over the land the volunteer teachers
of politics will continue to spout their ideas and
display their cleverness to every little group of
men who will listen to them. What strange
things they will say, based wholly on their
limited personal experience and the occasional
lump of yeast found in the columns of the news
papers! How much better it would be if all
these men would go to .the histories and learn
just what this government means, how it came
into being, what it has had to fight to exist, and
what is necessary to perpetuate it.
About the Wyoming Pipe Line.
Storage tanks with a capacity of 1,500,000
gallons of crude oil are to be built for service in
connection with the municipal gas plant. This
is a pointer in connection with the importance
of the proposed pipe line from the Wyoming oil
fields to Omaha. The use of oil is steadily in
creasing hereabouts. Existing refineries find a
fready market for their entire product Others
would do as well, and plants established can
. well be extended. It is a question of getting the
crude oil here. That a pipeline from the
Wyoming wells is feasible.no one disputes. In
other times the reason given for not construct
ing it was lack of production and uncertainty
of market. These questions have been fairly
met. The wells are furnishing the oil, ind new
ones are continually being brought in. The
local market is steadily developing, and with
a reliable supply can be brought to a consump
tion far exceeding that which it met under
existing conditions. A little steam back of the
pipe line project will do much to solve the fuel
problem in Omaha.
"The Greatest Amateur Nation."
Just how happy was the president in his
characterization of America as "the greatest
amateur nation" is not so important as that he
told the truth when he said it. And with the
confidence of an amateur he let it drift into the
most serious business that ever engaged its at
tention, and from the effects of which it will
not soon recover. A little of the "professional
ism" he so loftily disdains might have saved
us from a deal of expense and sacrifice that
seems to have been unnecessary. Crediting the
preside nt with the breadth of vision, so en
thusiastically extolled by his adoring followers,
it may be permitted to inquire how much he
actually contributed to the solution of the great
problem of the war by his exhortation to the
naval officers to do audacious things.
It is very certain that until the end of the
war the hunt for hornets wa kept up all over
the farm. Admiral Benson very recently told
the senate committee that it was the policy of
the department to keep our navy in the western
Atlantic, as a defense in event the Germans
broke through the cordon established by the
British. This was professional and not amateur
practice. Laying the North Sea barrage was
the great contribution of the American navy to
the suppression of the U-boat, but it was also
professional. The only direct assault on the
U-boat bases was carried out by the British
against Zeebrugge and Ostend, and thut, too,
was worked out by professional and not amateur
naval officers.
It is not to be wondered at that the naval
officers who heard the president that day did
so in silence. It must have chilled them to hear
from their chief that the careful training they
had received in their profession was to count
for naught; that all the accumulated wisdom,
based on actual experience throughout the ex
tent of recorded history, was of no avail, and
that the victory would come to the "amateur."
Fortunately, the business they then entered
upon finally was dealt with by trained and sea
soned ratji.
The incident," however, is' noteworthy as ex
hibiting the process by which Mr. Wilson has
directed the affairs of government entrusted to
him. His career has been a succession of ex
periments, of ventures into unfamiliar realms,
with the laudable curiosity of the amateur, un
supported by the wisdom of one who has gained
knowledge through actual contact. It was in
such a mood he went to Paris, and its per
sistence has animated him in his dogged per
sistence in demanding his own imperious way
with regard to the future of America. "The
greatest amateur nation" has paid dearly for
entrusting its destiny to an amateur.
Worthy of General Circulation.
Capper's Weekly contributes two illuminat
ing paragraphs on the state of the union which
might well be given circulation all over the
country. The first follows:
Many a fine young American was
"bumped off" in France for democracy while
at home democracy was being bumped off for
a cool billion to get a few belated airplanes.
And the bumping continues. Democracy is
now being bumped for one and one-half bil
lions of pure loot by a few sugar bandits.
,AIso it is being bumped daily in other ways
by several thousand big profiteers. And we
go on bumping the bumps when we should
be bumping the bumpers.
There is no room for argument on the sub
stantial justice of that criticism of the admin
istration which is due to be bumped off March
4 next. Nor do we imagine any serious attempt
will be made to controvert the substantial truth
of the second, which is given below:
One great American industry has been
found which hasn't profiteered and isn't
profiteering, and it is the biggest and most
useful of them all. Irs stock is not rated in
Wall Street. It pays no extra dividends. It
has never had a stock dividend. It is the only
big business on earth that- can run at a loss
without going bankrupt or into the hands of
a receiver. It is operated by the firm of Pa,
Ma & Co.. and it is farming 280,000,000 acres
'of food producing land in the United States.
It is the only firm that lets the customer fix
the price land it is engaged in the most
hazardous business of all. It is the most im
portant firm of all, has' the fewest economic
rights and get? least attention. .
The Head and -Front of the Offending.
Herbert Hoover, who was a real food ad
ministrator during the war, referring to the un
deniable fact that Mr. Wilson could and should
have bought the, Cuban sugar crop last fall at
6'j cents a pound, and supplied the country
with an abundance of it at 12 cents a pound,
says the present state of the sugar market,
which is plucking the families of the land an
average amount of $50 a year, "is due simply to
bad business administration."
Mr. Hoover knows. His statement carries
weight because thejeople know he knows. We
have indeed a "bad business administration" at
Washington, not only in sugar, but in cotton,
the railroads, and every other business the
blight of Wilsonism has touched. And it should
be remembered that the outrageous extrava
gances which yet continue in the government
are administrative and executive, which con
gress could not possibly check during the pre
sent fiscal year. When it is all over, and Mr.
Wilson out, to the great relief and benefit cf the
country, it will be possible to estimate what his
blunders and stubborn resistance to sound busi
ness principles have cost his countrymen. The
total figures will be amazing. May they never
again be duplicated!
"Mitch" Palmer still insists that 1 cent a
pound to wholesalers and 2 cents to retailers
is' the limit of profits on sugar. Somebody is
getting more, though. ,
Increase of almost half a million tons in un
filled orders for steel is a fair proof of reviving
industry. Given a chance, business will yet be
good.
If the women discover anything they over
looked in the local conventions, they will prob
ably return and secure it.
Mark Tapley has little or nothing on the Chi
cago "wets" when it comes to hopeful optimism.
It seems the mistake of the British navy was
that it did not follow advice from Washington.
"Jim" Hanley finds Nebraska dry and glad
of it. This is cheering.

Sir: I listened for you while at dinner in a
San Francisco restaurant which is patronized by
fourth-rate actors, prize-fighters, their managers
and trainers, chorus gir's and their friends,
gamblers but not their victims, a few newspaper
people, a few artists, and a liberal sprinkling of
Thackeray's "dolls of tha earth." Most of "the
men who patronize this restaurant are well
dressed. They wear epats. Jewelry, fraternal
emblems. Their nails are highly polished and
they exhibit an Infinite genius for originality in
the manner of holding a fork. Three such gen
tlemen were seated at a table adjacent to mine.
Needless to say, one never has trouble in over
hearing this type. Said one: "There's a guy
got some stuff In one of the papers here that
would go good in an act if we could get someone
to fix it up for us. They call him B. V. D. or
B. L. T.or sump'n." Said his friend: "Aw, yud
never get nothin' that's any good away out here."

Sir: I have been waiting for someone to ad
vance the explanation that in cases where the
face is freshly shaven at the time of death, if
the body is put in a dry place, the gradual dry
ing of the skin causes it to shrink away, thus
exposing the short ends of the hairs which were
below the surface. As for beards a foot long
growing after death, that is pure bunk. But
what I would like proof of is the old stuff to
the effect that if a hair from a horse's tail is
put in water for several "days it will turn into
a hair snake. I hereby offer one bottle of first
class hair tonic to anyone producing the proof.

The Flower Fund
Omaha, May 11. To the Editor of
The Bee: It haa interested me
greatly to note dally the minute ad
ditions to the flower memorial fund
for the graves of our brave dead in
France. But does it not seem
shameful that all of Nebraska has
given but $175 to date? Can this
mean that the patriotism is
shriveled and pecuniarism has sup
planted generosity? Do the people
realize what this 'small sum shows
to the parents of dead boys? It
shows these Buffering parents that
their sacrifices are not appreciated!
Every person in Nebraska could do
nate to this fund, but it appears
that the fund has so far been made
up largely of donations from those
who lost. Surely . those' who gave
their boys should not be made to
feel that their boys' lives were given
and then forgotten by all. Let us
all give if not the maximum
amount then a small sum, that
there shall be no flowerless grave in
France on this memorial day one
of the most memorable days in our
history.
Sincerely yours with' hopes that
Nebraska proves that she is not a
slacker in this,

How to Raise the Bonus.
Grand Island, Neb., May g.
To the Editor of The Bee: Mr.
Heron has spoken In a language of
older days; he came back at me
with an argument 55 years of age.
No doubt they, had a hard time
those days. No doubt they strug
gled for their existence, but under
which circumstance they had to live
and what we have today. At the
end of the Civil war the land was
destroyed and worthless for tHe
coming year to farm. But today we
went into this war ,as the richest
country in the world, yea, our bank
ers m wan street naa money
enough to loan it to the fighting
European countries before we en
tered it, and able to do so after we
came back with the laurel of the
victors. But those same men for.
got their promises, forgot their
praises for those boys who went
over to make the "world free for
democracy."
You speak of the welfare organi
zations during the ; war in a voice
wnicn sounds like romance, you
paint them in a way which would
make out of war a pleasure trip to
belle Pans. Well, Mr. Heron, be
tween us stand a generation a gen
eration of life a diversion of opin
ion, a different understanding of
economic conditions, those which
are natural and those which devel
op through our fault or rather
these which we elected to govern
and to represent us before the tri
bunal of the world and the eyes of
our competitors, commercial as well
as in national supremacy.
One word more, Mr. Heron: You
at least had applejack or "red eye,"
but all we had was red blood and
sufficient of that. We went dry,
while we were at work, but the ques.
tion how we raise the fund for a
soldier compensation is easily an
swered give us back light wine and
beer and the tax from that is suf
ficient to help along a poor veteran
with family, and "no" home. And
such conditions exist in this land of
ours. The land of "the free and the
brave." BERT BAHR.

FIRST of all, mileage
is what you ask of a
tire.
Mileage is a matter
mainly of materials and
workmanship,
SPRAGUE Cord Tires are so
well built, and of such high
quality materials, that we can
assure you far more mileage
than guaranteed on any so
called standard make tire.
It is nothing unusual for Sprague Cord
