Voter bow have an opportunity to contrast the attitude of the two great national political parties in Nebraska. Each has, through its con vention, declared th principles and issues on which it asks popular support, the republicans clearly defining the cleavage and leaving noth ing for the shadowy Imaging of the "twilight zone. THE SEAMY SIDE OF POLITICS. ' When the conventions meet at Chicago and - San Francisco to select nominees for the presi dency a great part of the visitors there, and of the delegates as well, will be present quite as much to promote personal ambitions for getting or for continuing to hold office, as for the really patriotic and commendable purpose of using their influence to help bring about the selection of the best available candidates. That is the one most repellant feature of polities, that so large a proportion of those controlling 'its activities through party organizations are work ing to accomplish selfish personal ends, ani that so few have in view only the widest welfare of the whole people. It is baldly1 an exaggeration to say that the cheers and enthusiasm, as well as the influence, of jiO per cent of the delegates and visitors to both the big party conventions 'will be born of selfish desires rather than of impartial and independent judgment of the fit ness of candidates for the soundness of plat forms. . We hear and read much from party leaders and the press ef national issues and of the atti tude toward them of the throng of aspirants for the presidency on public affairs Front the dele gates themselves, when we get into their inner councils, we are brought in touch with an en tirely different line of thought. The gratifica tion of private ambitions, of selfish purposes, of personal animosities, prevail over matters of state in the minds of the majority, and the game of the big leaders becomes one of so amalgamat ing the personal interests of self-seekers as to ' gain control of the conventions and their nomi nations. ,. ' We do not hesitate to declare that the pre liminary campaigns in congressional districts " and states in behalf of different candidates, are put through as a rule on steam raised by politicians who know exactly what they want ! in the way of patronage, and have assurances : that they will get it if their candidates are sue ; cessfu!. " . That is politics as the game is now played for the majority of the candidates in both par ties, and explains the free use of interested , men's money to finance what are considered as ' legitimate campaign expenses. It is also some- thing else the reason why so many good citi , zens who are not after office, who have only the interests of the country at heart, turn in disgust from political association" with men whose real interest in politics is wholly selfish. We dare say that the only possible nomina j tion wholly free from such influences is that of T a "dark horse," chosen without the preliminary f district and state bargaining in which the pro fessional politicians take such great delight and ! by which, they win such great profits. If there is any nomination the selfish politicians dislike, : it is that of a dark horse. They have, no bridle ; on him, or bit in "his mouth, -But the people like an unfettered candidate. " . Hog Island Making Good. A recently issued card gives in brief form an excuse for Hog Island shipbuilding plant. For the year ending April 17, 1920, it claims the "greatest record for one shipbuilding plant for one year in the history of the world." Seventy nine vessels of a total deadweight tonnage of 619,575 were launched, and seventy-four vessels of a deadweight tonnage of 579,(50 were de livered. On the hourly schedule, this amounts to one 'ship launched .for every 28 working hours, and one ship delivered for every 30 work ing hours. That is an achievement scarcely to be comprehended. The service record made by the Hog Island ships show them to be sub stantially constructed, so that they are not only excellent cargo carriers) but stand splendidly against the stress of weather. For examp'e, the Quistconck, the first ship delivered from Hog Island, has steamed over 62,000 miles at sea, wai drydocked once after covering 37,500 miles, for the purpose of scraping and paint-, ing the Bottom of the hull. Ihe vessel has been in constant service without any difficulty whatever, and has never failed, nor shown material, structural or workmanship weakness from the day it was launched, August 5, 1918, to date. Hog Island has launched 102 ships to date, with a deadweight tonnage of-799,550, ind has delivered 84 ships, with a deadweight tonnage of 7,300. These vessels have steamed over 1,682,316 nautical miles, and have carried over 1,282,189 tons of cargo. - These figures fairly jus tify Hog Island's existence, even if it did not do all expected of it while the war was going on. A Local Option Way Out. "The democratic party," says former Sena tor Ham Lewi v "believes that states that want; total prohibition should have it Those that don't want it should not be compelled to accept it." Therefore he predicts a plank in the demo cratic national platform favoring state local option on light wines and beer. - What's an - unwelcome constitutional amendment among democratic statesmen? Merely a thing rb be nullified, as the south has demonstrated for many years. But hold 1 Not while Mr. Bryan's in the-flesh. His lung pres sure against the Lewisian proposal will be ter rific at San Francisco, and will almost certainly prevail '" The republican platform declares frankly the position of the party on what the president hopes to make the main issue of the campaign, meeting the challenge from the White House squarely in repudiating the League of Nations covenant. If peace can not be established with out acceptance of the covenant with the reason able Lodge reservations, it 'will be so taken, but fn the form 4s demanded by the president it will not On the equal suffrage issue the declara tion is equally plain. Again the party goes on record as being in favor of business administration for state af fairs, endorsing the principle of the code bill, which was enacted in redemption of the plat form pledgejnade two years ago. That this law is working out to the good of the state is be coming plainer as days go by, and while it may require amendment as suggested by experience, republicans are standing by their prqmise to give public business attention as careful as would be bestowed on private affairs. Another plank in the platform calls on the state's rep resentatives in the congress to support the movement for the adoption of a budget system for the federal government. Necessary amendments to the primary elec tion law, to cure some of its defects and prevent abuses now complained of will come through the republican control of the legislature. The enforcement of state and national prohibition laws is another thing to which the party is pledged. No quibbling whatever on these is sues. The Fordney adjusted compensation bill, now pending in congress, is endorsed as a measure of justice to the service men. Gov ernor McKelvie and all state officers are given commendation for their official acts. . If the opposition hoped for dissension in the republican party, it,must be sorely disappointed. The whole course of the convention indicates uHity and harmony of purpose, to give the peo ple of Nebraska the befT possible government through the careful administration of their af fairs under wise laws prudently executed. On the contrarjYjthe democrats endorse the League of Nations without the crossing of a "t" or the dotting of an "i" and denounce republican senators for refusing to so accept it In, this they overlook the fact that 23 democratic sen ators voted for the Lodge resolutions, and were unaware of the action taken by the Georgia democrats on Tuesday, when a resolution, de nouncing the Leagfje of Nations covenant was adopted and endorsement of Woodrow Wilson was refused. The president's party is hope lessly divided on this issue. v , 1 One of the strange declarations made by the Nebraska democrats is that "administration measures were forced through congress against republican opposition." This assertion comes from a convention presided over by a chairman, J who, as a member of congress, opposed on the floor of the house measures asked by the presi dent, and who saw great war bills repotted from a committee of which he was a member by a republican because the democratic chairman re fused to bring them in and fought them after they were brought in. Such effrontery js rarely found, even in a democratic platform. ' J Claiming the credit 'for the income tax is another similar piece' of impudence. The reso- Jution submitting the amendment to the con stitution was framed by Senator Norris Brown, a republican from Nebraska, was passed by a republican senate and a democratic house, wherein the chief opposition to it came from southern democrats, and was signed by a repub lican president. The Wilson administration is entitled toajout as much credit fox this as it is for the law Mbses brought down from Sinai. Similarly, with the Federal Reserve act, which is substantially the Aldrich-Vreeland bill, against which the democrats, railed so vehemently until it was' sent "back from the. White House, tinder the guise of the Glass bill, and against which the fiercest and most ef fective opposition was Jed by Senator. Hitch cock of Nebraska. A ridiculous straddle marks the democratic attitude on prohibition. "The greatest degree of individual liberty consistent with good gov ernment and law enforcement" resembles the traditional coon trap more than it does the an nouncement of a serious position on a question that calls for a definite answer. It will satisfy neither "wet" nor "dry," but may encourage "highjackers" and bootleggers. As days go by the voters will get further understanding of the contents of the platforms, and will be amazed at the insincerity and trick ery of the "democrats, who, as usual in Ne braska, hope to capture office by raising unsub stantial issues. -The republicans offer a clean ticket on a platform clearly stating what the party believes In and hopes to accomplish. "An Inexcusable Affront." Secretary Daniels has not been fortunate" in his controversy over the naval matters brought to public attention by Admiral Sims, and now under Investigation by a senate committee. The Detroit Free Press, commenting on the secre tary's savage criticisms of the admiral, says:' .. But Mr. Daniels's most extraordinary ac tion and the one that shows clearly the per turbation ofjiis mind, is his recital of what he says was private address by President Wilson to the fleet officers on the eve of active service. If, as Mr. Daniels insists, Sims was indiscreet in repeating a departmental cau tion against excessive friendliness with the British, surely the secretary is doubly in discreet when lie gives in language that is slurring and insulting, what purports to be the president's unfavorable view of the conduct of the British naval operations. The recital of such an expression as. the One attributed to the president is an inexcusable affront to an ally that for years stood between America and German militarism. It is a piece of raw In gratitude. . ... The president's remarkable address is not denied. Indeed,, it is announced that Secretary Daniels made- it public with its author'sjull per mission. 'Insulting and inexcusable that address is, and more, but the blame for it is all Mr. Wil son's not the .secretary's. -The permission to give it to the world, with all its mean reflections upon English courage, character and naval pre paredness, is but another proof of the president's serious illness and disability.

They do not claim that their candidate is sure of nomi nation. That in itself is the perfect tribute to Hoover. For, unless the boosters of the aver age candidate had bamboozled themselves into believing that' his nomination was certain, they could hardly have the courage to persevere. WHAT, besides the fact that he kept us out of sugar, are Hoover's strongest recommenda tions? That he is not an orator and that he is not apolitician. The factthat he is not a poli tician does not raise our temperature; because politicians are the perfect fruitage of democracy, and we cannot conceive of a democracy' without them. But the fact that he is not an orator ah; that should attract the support of all dis criminating persons who Deneve tnat oratory is a national menace. Behave Yonrswlf, Kittle.

From FortyYears Ago, In the Springfield - , Journal. Two temperance lecturers and fifty kegs of beer went to Lincoln on the noon train. ; NOTE to foreman of 'composing room : Keep standing the line, "Supreme Court Fails to Rule on Djjy Law.' B. L. I, SOUTHERN HEALTH ' CHANGES. The physicians of Greenville and Washington county, Mississippi, say disease is changing In their section of ,the country. In the old days they were busiest in thesummer and fall. In those seasons they had to keep relays of horses and the doctors rarely got eight hours' continuous sleep. Up early In the morning and working until late at night, they were unable to see all of the acutely sick daily. Now they have a good deal of liesure at that season. They have time to go fishing, attend medi cal meetings, or even slip away to the seashore or the mountains. The reason? Nfarly every Rlan tation has one or more, artesian wells, and, in- consequence, typhoid fever has dropped away down. Oc casionally some man sinks a well near his horse lot or his privy, and he, his family, and his labor still have typhoid, but that is the excep tion. Malaria is disappearing. There are ewer mosquitoes, but what is more important, more peopl are curing their malaria thoroughly rather than taking a few doses of clrlll tonic "to break their chills" and stepping it at that. Babies do not die in summer as they once did. But on the other hand doctors are busier now in January and February than they were In olden times. The reason? There Is more pneumonia, bron chitis, influenza and pleurisy. Not only have these diseases failed to de crease, but they have actually in creased. The spring-winter seasons, former ly slack, are now busy. When I asked a question of them they re plied unanimously and at once that they were busiest in February. When I asked the older ones which were the busy seasons 20 years ago, with unanimity and promptness they answered summer and fall. ' A study of the seasonal distribu tion oa? disease in Chicago during 1871 to 1918 showed the same change. All forms of sijmmer sick ness has greatly declined. On the other hand winter-spring sickness has increased. The increase is due to pneumonia and other acute in fections of the upper respiratory tract. If this change lias occurred in Chicago and in the south, it has probably oecurred in all parts of the country. The Pacific slope may be an exception. While typhoid fever la becoming less because we are more cleanly in our habits and customs, malaria, because of better drainage and bet ter mosquito control, diarrhoea in babies, because of better milk, pneu monia is becoming worse because of foul air, bad ventilation, anc? espe cially because of almost universal neglect of coughs and coryzas. Baby Born With Teeth. N. G. writes: "On April 7 a baby girl, weighing 12 1-2 pounds and with two teeth was born to me. The teeth are growing, and as the baby Is only three weeks old it worries me very much. Do you think the teeth will fall out, or will they remain until the others come? If they should fall t out I am afraid she might swallow them, and, if so, is there any danger?" REPLY. The teeth can be made to stay in until the regular falling out time. Clean them with a -oft cloth wrapped around your finger once or twice a day. She will not swallow them. lees Seating An Example. York, tfeb.. May !. To the Ed itor of The Bee: "Times like these demand great minds, strong hearts and willing hands." , Nowadays is a "particularly oppor tune time to set an example In right living. Early in life, becoming im bued with a sincere respect for all respectable people as well as a deep disrefspect for all dlsrespectable ones, it has always seemed to me and should seem so to all, especially since prohibition went into effect (always sober) that we are all ex pected to do the proper thing at all times. How different this world would be if more people felt It In cumbent to do what is right and honorable! But, no; too, many try to get by as slacker and bluffer. Th writer is past middle age, yet today I feel that if I didn't work and set th proper example something dreadful would happen. And, therefor, those who want something for nothing and without effort should be watched more closely, or they will beoome o -numerous and rock the boat so rudely that the ship of state may yet be swamped. Don't tolerate a slacker or a blutfer and there won't be any. Just as we re fused to stand for the nuisance of drunkenness we cut out the cause and the whole world is better for it. The moat irritating nuisance now is'Mhe profiteer and you ask me: What are you going to do about it? And it's a very easy' question to an-, swer. Don't stand for it. When we desired to remove the saloon we took counsel together and worked cut plans that put it over. It may be necessary In a few places to call meetings but the mere threat to do so will be sufficient to stop it and invite the principal offenders to come and explain why they have more than doubled prices for goods or service. lt there are ' reasons there will be no objection, but If there is not, we want the overcharge to be put back. We grant that on an average wages have doubled, but there are cases where we are charged four and five times what we were charged before the war and it is those instances that furnish the agitator with material to work on and we wonder how such things are allowed to go on in a land where law-and order is supposed to exist. I am told to look out for myself and forget it To go to the movies and read the fairy tale, have a good time, shut my eyes and drift along the current of the stream. And, sure enough I can stand it if anyone can. I get good wages for what I do and I have only myself to keep. I econo mize and don't have much to buy, but if I could live on peanuts alone I suppose I would have to pay all my wages for them alone and every where I hear people say: "It's too expensive to live and to die.'' On ac count of the high prices they can't marry nor have children or even go to church or do anything whatso ever. We seem to have com to a dead stop and th profiteer Is the ooly on who can see any Joy In liv lng- How long, O, Lord, how long shall we be provoked by this para site who thinks more of Ill-gotten gain than h does of his country's welfare? They are mad and must be stopped in their mad career. Lt u all put our shoulder to th wheal and go over the top against the com mon foe.
