! . DANIELS DOES NOT ANSWER SIMS.
The secretary of the navy has spent several
i idtyl before the senate naval affairs committee,
1 throwing up a tremendous smoke screen, behind
"l" which he hopes to bring off some part of the
administration's forces unscathed from the en
gagement with Admiral Sims. Up to now the
secretary has scathingly criticised and liberally
abuied the offending admiral, but has answered
none of rift charges.
Mr. Daniels has disclosed a great deal of the
confidential orders and communications cf the
Navy department, although pretending io cen-
sure Admiral Sims because the latter made pub
lic a remark by Admiral Benson, which ex
hibited the half-hearted way with which the
Bdmlnistration went to war in behalf pi the Al
lies, It has also been made clear that the Brit
ish admiralty had not met the fond expectancy
of the president of the United States, whose pro
undity in naval lore, tactics and strategy was
)0 perfectly expressed in his adjuration to the
officers of the Amercan navy that they be au
dacious. The Philadelphia Public Ledger sums
Mp this phase of the case very neatly. It says:
President Wilson reveals the keynote of
the attitude of his administration toward our
European allies in his savage onslaught on
their hesitation to "throw tradition to the
winds" and accept as inspired the novel Sug
gestion of the "men of originative brains
' amongst us." Speaking pointedly of the work
of the British admiralty, he allowed himseii
to say; "Nothing was ever done so systemat
ically as nothing is being done now." This
was marked "confidential" during the war, for
we then needed British co-operation; but
Daniels has with a fine courtesy removed the
"confidential" embargo now that we are in no
uch need. The president corroborated this
view in a cable to Sims accusing the British
of being "helpless to the point of panic."
The British navy "did nothing ao sys
tematically" that it prevented Germany from
winning the war while we were slowly learn
ing, in spite of President Wilson's sophistical
efforts to keep us in the dark, that it was also
"our war." The British navy drove German
urface craft from the sea and established arid-'
maintained the most comprehensive blockade
in history. It prevented Germany' great
military triumphs on land from sweeping all
eastern Europe into the German net What
it did for us when we first began to send our
boys to the battlefields is sufficiently familiar.
But our embattled president thinks, that it "diet
; nothing systematically" because it did not
commit luicide on Quixotic adventures, and
o let the German navy loose on America.
Admiral Sims charged the navy with un
readiness In 1917; this has been excused by Ad
miral Benson on the score that public sentiment
wai against preparedness. ' Secretary Daniels
haa not yet touched upon this specific charge.
Admiral Sims also charges that we had no naval
policy for the conflict until after we had been in
the war three months, although it had been ap
parent for three years that we might be called
into action at any time. This charge is not in
iny way met by the secretary. It may be
developed that Mr. Daniel did not care to risk
Jhe fate that overtook Lindtey M. Garrison,
who, as secretary of war in 191 S, presented the
resident a definite report on what was needed
for the proper defense of the United States, and
tad to resign as a consequence.
The barrage of words emitted by the secre
tary of the navy adds no lustre to the record
if the department under his administration.
Unfair Odds in Base BalL
' - Mr. E. V. Lewis, English author and as
sociate editor of Punch, is in America looking
around and seeing what's what. One week's at
tendance at base ball "matches" has shown him
that the sport is' not just what it should be.
'Base ball needs improving," he says after see
ing four professional games. "It needs taking
In hand. ,1 think the pitcher has too great an
advantage over the batter, and so have the
utfielders."
To be sure. Strange we never thought of
that before. Nine husky men all bent in put
ting one lone batter out of -the running. And
just because he is armed with a club wc have
always thought it a fair contest. How thought
less of us! " --
The crowds at the games are pathetic in the
sight of Mr. Lewis. He approves of the oc
casional "going mad over a marvelous hit," but
this thing of cheering every hit is all wrong.
"Only the best hits ought to be cheered," avers
fcur, critic' Very well then. It is so ordered.
But our visitor is not 'all blue mass. He
Sheers up every time he thinks of cream on the
American table every day. It bappens an
nually, not daily, in Old England, he says.
But our dinners are gloomy and dejected af-
lairs. Because of prohibition he's "utterly de
pressed at. dinner." Cannot somebody page a
bootlegger, for Mr. Lewis?
Salute Marshal Dahlman.
Our sincere felicitations to James Charles
Dahlman, who has succeeded to the vacancy in
- the office of United States Marshal for Ne
braska. Not because it ends for him ft quest
lor employment; "Jim" is too versatile and, ac
jomplished to be long without occupation of
jome useful sort His appointment, however,
e-establishes him as a factor in the cohorts of
the Hitchcock wing of the democratic party, and
, wfll give him prestige and influence once more.
Mis followers have had faith in his potency, and
' vill now rally to the raging conflict with re-
v lewed vigor. Moreover, some of the local as
pirants for city office find in this definite location
of the former, mayor possible reason for con
gratulating themselves. It probably removes
a irrenuoui campaigner from the race for the
mayoralty in 1921, and so clears the track for
a number of gentlemen who feel the urge to
serve the public when Mayor Smith lays down
office. Therefore, ye democrats, salute Mar
tha! Dahlman as a happy solution to one of
your problems.
Never Ending Wonders,
Overland transportation began on human
legs. Man walked or ran to his destination, as
necessity required, carrying his food and bed
ding in a pack slung over his shoulders. When
merchandise had to be carried to the consumer
the peddler arrived. Then the stout back of the
ox and camel were pressed into service;, but
soon succeeded by the clumsy cart of ancient
times with its huge solid wheels and axles fash
ioned from solid wood. The horse came next
for fast freight in lands unknown to the camel.
As transportation facilities became more and
more important between inland points not con
nected by waterways, artificial canals for a time
covered necessities in heavy freight transporfa
tion,while. on water the canoes and dug-outs
were succeeded by flatboats, barges and keel
boats. Then came the steamboats on rivers
and the railroads on land, by which the com
mercial activities of the world were increased
beyond all computation and distances seemingly
obliterated by speed. s
The four miles an hour on human legs were
doubled by the horse. The railroad gradually
increased their speed from ; twelve miles to
twenty; -then jumped to thirty, fifty, sixty, eighty
miles an hour, for long hauls. Meanwhile for
short hauls the wagon gave way to the express
and the motor truck for merchandise, and the
carriage to street cars and automobiles for swift
changes of locomotion for human beings in the
rapidly growing cities, and along country roads.
It seemed that the ultimate had been reached.
Finally the navigation of the air, yet in its
infancy,4became an established fact through the
genius of the two Dayton (O.) boys. First a
plaything, an experiment, war crowded it into
the strangest fighting the world had ever known
intense battle in the air, fraught with perils
never before dreamed of, and calling for heroism
of the highest order. The war over, the man
made birds were exhibited first as exhibitions
of daring, then as passenger packets. for ad
venturous seekers after thrills; and now are
being used for the speedy transmission of mails.
The rails have been excelled for speed, and in
a world where time is money, and money the
chief object of pursuit, the airplane is just as
certain to become harnessed to the humdrum re
quirements of business as were the steamboat
and the railroad in their experimental years.
Omaha is already the midway airplane mail
station between the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Soon the Atlantic itself, already crossed by air
boats, will see passengers and mail flying ISO
or more miles an hour between London and
New York, as they already fly between London
and Paris. Air navigation is the first wonder
of the Twentieth century. Who dares predict
the other marvels yet to come before the close
of the century? The human intellect may yet
be in its infancy. What mortal dares put a
limit to its achievements ,in the centuries to
come?
. Shallenberger Sounds the Keynote.
Conceding that the job was one of con
siderable size, the further admission is forced
that Ashton C. Shallenberger is" some keynoter.
His address to the embattled democrats of Ne
braska is a model of its kind. In congratulating
those of his party who assembled to hear him,
Governor Shallenberger bote down hard on the
wonderful prosperity of the country, due to the
successful administration of Woodrow Wilson.
He discretely kept in the background the
promises made at Baltimore that the cost of
living would be reduced,' nor did he permit any
ghost of the breadlines of the winter of 1915-16
to emerge.
Furthermore, he omitted to state that the
refined beet sugar made in Nebraska was forced
on the market around 10 cents a pound, while
the planters of Louisiana were permitted to.
charge 17 cents for the raw product He did
not dwell long on the proposition that while the
selling price of corn has been doubled, that of
cotton has been quadrupled. In fact, the speaker
overlooked a number of little points where-
with, he might have embellished his oration. .
Getting closer to home, he congratulated tfie
democratic party of Nebraska on its harmonious
condition, itsv-6plendid outlook for victory, and
on the magnificent endorsement it had given
Woodrow Wilson,' the League of Nations and
Senator Hitchcock at tle "recent primary elec
tion. We can not help thinking that Governor"
Shallenberger himself grinned as he said that,
for he was facing1 an assemblage in whose
ranks was stewing the bitter factional fight of
the wets against the drys. ' He could riot have
forgoUen the fact that the democratic voters of
Nebraska endorsed Woodrow Wilson and the
League of Nations, and Senator Hitchcock's
presidential aspirations as well, by electing Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, open opponent of all three,
as delegate-at-large to San Francisco in face of
the bitterest personal fight ever waged against
a candidate in Nebraska, or that Arthur Mullen,
avowed champion of the president, the league
and the senator, was ingloriously snowed under
by a democrat who is with Mr. Bryan in all his
plans. Nor that eleven of the sixteen Nebraska
delegates" to the national convention are
Bryanites.
Again we . insist that Mr. Shallenberge'r's
keynote address is a model for democratic uses
pure bunk.
"Jimharn" Lewis thinks the San Francisco
convention will adopt a wet plank. It is not
necessary; the proceedings will be perfunctory
anyhow.
South Americans reaching New York with
hundreds of thousands of dollars in . their
pockets must be coming to spend a week-end in
Gcstham.

MINOR JOYS OF MUSIC LOVEKS.
(From the U. of M. Bulletin.)
It is still possible to obtain tickets and no
one interested in music, if only for the mere
joy of listening, should miss this rare op
portunity. ,
"SIXTY-FIVE senators," says Hon. Wayne
Wheeler, "voted for prohibition in the face of a
most vicious, corrupt liquor organization threat
ening their political lives." Well, on the other
hand, there was a holy and incorruptible pro
hibition organization threatening their political
lives. Between two evils they chose that which
seemed to them the less.
Gradually Becoming Annoyed,
(From the Carroll, la.. Herald.)

horse. I got an idea, who he Is and he'd
better bring him back. I have a colt doing
his work now, but he won't plow a garden
like my thoroughbred. Somebody has him

my St. Bernard dog; back to my barn by
Saturday night I will take the law Into my
own hands. This ought to be good warning.

The stars disappear and the moon fades away;
The Daughters of Darkness- are filled with

When Morning doth waken ao lovely and fair.
Behold', she advances, her cheek like the rose,
Her breath like to fragrance that Araby knows;
She looks on the peaks, and they glow as with
fire; ,; - ,
She looks on the vales, every tree is a choir.
Away to the upland, for this is the hour
That life is a triumph, the soul like a flower.
The heart like a cup that is poured full of wine
From flagons of Cana, by spirits divine.

RIGHT-HANDED, LEFT
BRAINED. A correspondent wishes to know
something about left-handedness,
what causes it, can it be overcome,
does insanity result when a person
changes from left-handedness to
right-handedness? He has a,' left
handed child, and ha wants to know
if it is safe to make him change.
Few subjects have excited so
much controversy aa the subject of
right-handedness. Of course, th
right hand and arm are both larger
and stronger than the left, but this
is a result rather than a cause of
right-handedness. Tho arrangement
of the arteries given off from the
main trunk, and supplying the brain,
and the location of the different
large organs of the body, have both
been studied as causes of right
handedness. In spite of all this
tudy, not much of basic information
is at hand.
The great Irish anatomist made
this the subject of the Huxley lec
tures in 1902. He said man was a
left-handed animal, meaning that,
while there were duplicate nerve
centers - in each Side of the brain,
those on the - left side dominated.
There is a speech center on each
side, but that on the left side domi
nates. The centers which move the
right arm and leg are on the left
aide of the brain, and this motor
area dominates that of the right side
of the brain.
Hairlip is twice as frequent on the
left side of the face. Deformities
are more frequent on the left side.
The teeth of the right side of the
face are the larger and denser. Apo
plexy is more frequent on the right
side.
The discovery that tho left half of
the brain dominates . the right is
good so far as it goes, but it does
not go far enough. Why does it
dominate? It is no larger nor
heavier nor provided with better
convolutions. The plain fact is that
nobody knows. Man always has been
right-handed, though the propor
tion of left-handed men in the stone
age is higher than -the percentage
(two to three) now.
A baby at birth and for the first
few months is ambidextrous. About
the seventh or eighth month he be
gins to show a preference for the
right hand because he inherited that
tendency. The why of the inherited
tendency is not known. If a mother
discovers her child to be left-handed,
or suspects it because the one
or both parents are left-handed, and
she wishes to change it, then is the
time to begin. She can carry the
baby with the right arm pressed
against her side, or she can dress
him with that -arm bound by the
clothing. Efforts at training b'egun
at babyhood are fairly successful.
Girdwood of Canada says it is
impossible to train an older person
from left to right-handedness. He
quotes Sir Daniel Wilson as follows:
"Originally left-handed, in spite of
consequence, children who have had
scarlet fever can be allowed more
liberties with safety. But watch the
heart and kidneys.

last 10 months?"
. REPLY.
Your- trouble 13 not hay fever. A
polyp or other abnormal nose condi
tion is a possibility.
Great Care Is Essential.
X. Y. Z. writes: "Please let us
know how to take care of an 8-year-old
child recovering from scar
let fever. How long ought she re
main in bed, how shall I feed her,
and what exercise can she take after
she gets out of bed?"
REPLY.
All of the questions can only be
answered properly after an exami
nation of the ' heart and a urinal
ysis. If a child has a mild case of
scarlet fever without albuminuria
and without heart murmurs she can
get up aa soon as she wishes after
the temperature returns to normal.
If there is albuminuria, or if there
are heart murmurs, the child should
be restrained for a few days after
she feejs like getting up', and exer
cise should be gradually Increased.
If there is alubuminuria - the diet
should consist of cereals, bread,
milk, vegetables, fruit, fats and a
small allowance of meat. If there
is no albuminuria the diet can be
the usual convalescent tray. Scarlet
fever is not so apt to cause paraly
sis of the heart, respiratory muscles,
throat muscles as Is diphtheria. In
very persistent efforts on the part
of teachers to suppress all use of
my left hand, I am not thoroughly
ambidextrous, though still with' my
left the'more dextrous hand."
It is all right to teach a left-handed
child to . use his hands inter
changeably for writing and similar
