MAN DIGS AND BUILDS.
From the time of the earliest known records,
both sacred and profane,, man has loved to dig
and to build. Since Abraham dug a well, and
God promised his people "a land whose stones
are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest
dig brass," men have dug for water, for oil, for
fuel, for treasure of all kinds. Since Cain
"builded a city" in honor of his son, Enoch, and
the survivors of the Flood cried: "Go to, let us
build us a city and a town, whose top may
reach unto heaven; and let us make a name,'
men have been building both for profit and
glory. After tbe confusion of tongues which
followed the attempt to build a short cut to
heaven, that particular purpose has been aban
doned by builders, but everywhere men are dig
ging and bui'ding.
In Omaha today we are digging. The Dodge
street improvement to obliterate a hill, and
thereby eliminate steep grades and furnish level
sites tor importantbusiness structures, attracts
the attention of thousands, who see in it the
gratification of a congenital desire, first enjoyed
by the qhild when he digs in, the sand. This
local digging to make available for useful pur
poses a central section of Omaha territory be
speaks the enterprise and foresight of a rich and
proud city, undaunted by any such natural ob
stacle to its convenience and proper growth as
l lofty hill.
What impresses us most about this progres
sive and costly undertaking is the comparatively
small amount of human labor required to put it
through. Perhaps less than fifty men are en
gaged on it three locomotive crews, a steam
shovel crew, a few brakemen and a squad of
trench diggers. The stored energy of the car
boniferous age, harnessed by the genius of men
to develop the mighty power of steam, is the
combination of natural forces that does the real
work. Human muscle and intelligence merely
directs it Steam opens and closes the maw" of
the great shovel, bites off by the ton the dirt de
posited in past ages, drops it gently in the cars,
ind pulls it miles away, where it may serve a
iseful purpose. i
How many men, how much incessant toil,
low many years, would it take if human strength
done were required to do this job? We may
ruess by comparison with the stupendous work
f ancient times. Rameses II. of Egypt, whose
nummy was discovered in 1881, threfc thousand
rears after his death, dug a canal from the- Nile
!o the Red Sea, at an enormous cost, and by
the sacrifice of 120,000 human lives tnat per
ished miserably under the whips of his over
seers. Later centuries filled his ditch with sand
and it was left to De Lesseps, the Frenchman, to
cut the enduring canal from the Mediterranean
to the Red Sea, an achievement regarded as
impossible by Rameses.. This Pharaoh, by the
way, is the one who whipped the Hittites, the
race from which sprang Uriah, the valiant war
rior in David's army. His Colossus, cut from
red granite, was the largest the world ever saw,
being an erect figure ninety-two feet high.
Of all the marvelous building operations of
ancient or modern times the Great Pyramid of.
Egypt, built 5,400 years ago, is'the most stu
pendous work of men's hands the all-surpassing
example of masonry. When Jacob went
down into Egypt that pyramid was as old as
the Christian religion is now. What price was
paid for it in human toil and life is incalculable
at this late day. How long it was in building is
unknown. But we do know that in the mists
of those ages, when the world was young so
far as the intellectual development of mankind
is concerned, the people down by the River Nile
were versed in decimal arithmetic, in hydraulic
arts, in architecture, and in massive masonry of
the most enduring kind. They knew something
of the stars also, and their pyramid was so ac
curately planned and constructed that in this
, year 1920 the variation of the compass may be
determined by the position of its sides.
But this ancient civilization, developed along
the Nile, whose annual deposits justify the be
lief that its inundations have been occurring for
13,500 years,vknew nothing of steam as a utility.
Its hard work was done by the muscles of men
and beasts.
So while our Omaha excavation sinks into
significance as a work when compared to one
job nearly 6,000 years old, we may yet take
pride in it over and above all the pyramids or
colossuses of Egyptian antiquity. Why? Be
cause our building and digging are done to in-
' crease the comfort, safety and prosperity of
men, and are paid for in honest wages. The
ancient works were almost entirely devoted to
the gratification of the vanity of rulers. The
1 pyramids are but the tombs of kings, erected
, by men in bondage who never knew the bless
ings of freedom the wretched chattels of cruel
Pharaohs who cared nothing for human rights
over the happiness of their peoples. The Pha
raohs wasted the lives and strength of their
people in the erection of monuments to them
selves. We spend millions annually for un
sightly tombstones jumbled together in hideous
confusion' in the graveyards of the land. We
do it to express our love (or dear ones who have
gone. Some day, perhaps, we shall have a
nobler and better tonception of the way to
bonor the memory of our dead.
ANOTHER CLOSE-UP OF RUSSIA.
In one of the May maearines John Spargo
illuminatingly discusses the progress of bol
shevism in Russia from the "dictatorship of
the proletariat", to the absolutism of the state
under Lenine. This transition is carefully out
lined and minutely traced in its several phases,
marking the failure of the bolshevik id;a, po
litical, economic, and social. In three years
Russia has gone through all the gradations from
the despotism of the craristic regime to the
equally despotic rule of the Lenine group, al
though the latter has not as yet assumed the
title that lies back of the form.
Col. Edward W. Ryan, Red Cross commis
sioner for north Russia and the Baltic states,
has just given American people another inti
mate view of the terrible conditions that have
come from the breaking down of all order under
bolshevistic control. The state in which the
Russian people find themselves is so revolting
and disgusting as to be without a parallel in
human experience. Petrograd and Moscow,
ancient and modern capital of the empire, cen
ters of social activity, of industry, education,
religion and government, have degenerated into
veritable cesspools of physical filth. Even the
present efforts of Lenine to restore order, under
his arbitrary exercise of supreme power, have
not served to clean up the mess he made in
breaking up the civilization he destroyed.
Spargo says the economic and political ideas of
the bolshevists were 200 years behind the times.
Colonel Ryan's description of sanitary condi
tions suggests that as many centuries might
separate Russia from the rest of the world today.,
The fact is referred to again solely because
we still have with us some befuddled individuals
who persist in thinking that America's way to
future greatness and national happiness lies
along the Via Dolorosa down which Lenine and
Trotzky led Russia to ruin, to degradation un
speakable. The Bee long ago expressed satis
faction that, if the experiment must be tried.
Russia be the place to carry it on. The failure
noted has been no more complete than was
prophesied fdr it, and each reliable witness re
turning from there merely adds to the heap of
testimony that condemn? the lunacy.
. Federalization of Great Britain.
One of the important changes in the polit
ical life of the British, growing out of the war,
is referred to over there as "devolution," and
involves the federalization of the United King
dom, Under plans now being considered, not
ojily is Ireland to have home rule under one
or perhaps two parliaments or legislatures, but
England, Scotland and Wales are to be similarly
divided. The imperial parliament will have
control of the general affairs of the United
Kingdom, but each division is to be left to
manage such matters as are peculiar or local
to it. j .
The possibilities- of a greater British em
pire, flowing from this, must be apparent. Each
of the dominions is federalized, with provincial
autonomy as clearly deniarked as possible, ifi
some regards exceeding in definiteness the state
rights that arouse Americans to disputes cf con-,
siderable acrimony at times. Behind this though,
lingers always the thought of the empire, and to
it in the end the dominions and their subdivisions
turn with excessive loyalty and devotion. Brit
ish statesmen approach the idea of "devolution"
with confidence, feeling that the war has given
the last test to the solidarity of national feeling
among the people, and trusting that local gov
ernment will solve many of the problems that
now vex the imperial government, and which
should properly be left to the settlement of
those directly affected.
Pursuing this, it is easy to see the assemblage
some time of a really imperial government, in
which will be seated representatives from the
six continents, dealing with questions of empire
and not of parishes. It was long ago pointed
out by The Bee that the British empire is truly
a league of nations, and the one that is most
likely to endure. With self-government for the
provinces .and dominions, .and a general as
sembly where the common interest of all will
be forwarded, the bonds that hold the British
together will be knit more firmly, and the des
tiny of the. great empire will be more nearly
realized.
Place to Hang a Picture.
A speaker at a convention of artists criticize's
the modern architect because in building homes
he leaves no place to hang a picture. This h
not all. In th'e quest for nooks and corners,
big openings between rooms, numerous windows
and the like, it frequently turns out that little
place is left to put anything, except in the middle
of the floor. This has had a direct effect on
the home life of the people. Good taste forbids
the cluttering up of rooms with an excess of
furniture, but it also requires an opportunity
or two for books, a place for the piano, and by
all means the desk that is now indispensable to
the wife and mother. How to get these into
the home and not set one or another in front of
a window, or where it will block a doorway, is a
never-ending problem in the small home. The
architect provides liberally for closets, for built
in cupboards, for cubbyholes and gimcrack de
vices, 'but in breaking up the big wall spaces
he destroys much of the opportunity to make
a home instead of just a place to stay. The Bee
suggests that the draftsmen who are doing their
utmost to wed beauty and utility, and whose
devotion to the esthetic is beyond question, take
up this 'point for serious consideration. When
they have solved it, we will again venture an
opening for further reform. That is, that the
bath tub be located against the inside and not
the outside wall. -
Two Paths to Peace
A Premier Press Agent.
Time cannot wither nor custom stale the in
finite variety of the theatrical press agent. Mr.
Ziegfeld, who has been successful in alleviating
the ennui of tired business men with his girl
shows, posts a notice back-stage in tbe Amster
dam theater, and next morning every man in
the United States likely to visit New York reads
U in his home paper, and the Ziegfeld "Revue"
ind "Midnight Frolic" shows get half a million
lollars' worth of advertising paid for by a flash
f nimble wit. The notice reads:
I shall not permit the use of paint, powder,
mascara or any of the other articles to en
hance beauty. Neither will I permit the girls
in my "Frolics" to have their eyebroWs
trimmed. They -must not blondine or" tint
their hair.
A psycho-analyst-is Mr. Ziegfeld. He knows
that in this period of calcimined and enameled
faces, dyed hair, powdered necks and painted
lips, both on and off the stage, men will .flock to
see pretty girls' just as nature made them. He
also knows with what avidity the press snaps up
unconventional happenings. Wise Mr. Ziegfeldl
His last was a golden idea.
From the Outlook.
The gist of the president's challenge to all
in or out of his party who wish to amend his
league of nations we publish in our news cf the
week. What here follows in the answer which
we wish the republican party and the country
would make to that challenge.
There are two plans for international co
operation and adjustment of international diffi
culties, which for convenience may be labeled:
The Judicial Method.
The Diplomatic Method.
The judicial method grew out of an Interna
tional conference called by the czar of Russia
in 1899 to meet at The Hague for the purpose
of considering what steps could be taken to
prevent a great and growing increase in arma
ments. At that time McKinley was president
and John Hay was secretary of state. The
American delegation to this Conference pro
posed the establishment of some plan of oblig
atory judicial arbitration for disputes. The
principle was approved, but no plan for carry
ing it into effect was worked out. The confer
ence did, however create a court of arbitration,
which has had an honorable history. The sec
ond conference was held in 1907, under the
Roosevelt administration. At this conference
provision was made for the organization of a
more truly permanent court of arbitral justice
and for future meetings of the International
conference, which would probably have been
held had it not been for the outbreak of the
great world war.
When President Wilson went to Faris to
negotiate a treaty of peace with Germany, he
discarded the steps which had been taken at
The Hague for international fellowship through
stated imeetings of the conference and the or
ganization of a permanent court, and substi
tuted for it what we have ventured to call the
diplomatic method. In his plan there is a con
ference without power and an executive council
with power. This council is composed of
diplomatists. There is no other provision tor a
court thaft a suggestion in the covenant that a
court may be organized.
fftere are two important differences between
these two plans or methods.
1. The Wilson or diplomatic plan vests all
power in a body which almost necessarily is,
and in point of fact so far has been composed
wholly of diplomats. Each diplomat, necessarily
and rightly, regards first the interest of the na
tion which he represents. The proceedings of
the council are bargainings between the repre
sentatives of the different nations, each pri
marily seeking the interests of the nation which
he represents. The agreements reached are
compromises. No new addition is made and no
new interpretation given to international law.
The object to be secured is peace, not justice.
In the McKinley-Roosevelt or judicial
method there is no room and no opportunity
for such bargainings between rival powers and
adjustments of conflicting interests by compro
mises. There is a conference in which all na
tions arryrepresented, but vhich is without legis
lative power. Its decisions are purely advisory.
It is fashioned on the plan of the Postal union,
whose decisions, by the way, have, in fact, al
ways been accepted by the nations represented.
And there is a court to which the nations mav.
.by special agreement, submit any controversies
mat may arise between them, or may, by gen
eral agreement, submit all questions or certain
classes of questions. It wculd be the business
of this court to secure, not primarily peace, but
justice, and to interpret and apply international
law to the settlement of such questions as might
be brought before it. These decisions of the
court might rest upon the practices of the na
tions that is, on what among Anglo-Saxon
peoples is known as common law; or they might
rest upon the recommendations of the confer
ence, which they would accept and apply, in
this way giving them the moral force of law.
2. In the Wilson or diplomatic method the
senate is vested with power and the nations
which enter the league will be called upon to
unite their military forces in compelling obedi
ence to such international agreements as the
council may reach in its deliberations. In the
McKinley-Roosevelt or judicial method neither
the court nor the conference is clothed with
military power. No provision is made for en
forcing by armies the decisions reached by the
court or the recommendations" made by the con
ference. The plan assumes the existence of an
international public opinion which will be suffi
cient to secure acceptance of the decisions of
the court for the present and leaves the question
of any military means of enforcing such de
cisions for future consideration. The distinction
between the two was very clearly put by the
instructions 'of Elihu Root, then secretary of
state, to the American delegates to the second
Hague Peace conference. "What we need,"
said he, "is the substitution of judicial action for
diplomatic action, the substitution of judicial
sense of responsibility for diplomatic sense of
responsibility." And he added: "We need for
arbitration, not distinguished public men con
cerned in all the international questions of the
day, but judges who will be interested only in
the question appearing upon the record before
them. Plainly this end is to be attained by the
establishment of a court" of permanent judges
who will have no other occupation and no other
interest but the exercise of the judicial faculty.'
When the McKinley-Roosevelt plan of a
judicial league was proposed by America and
accepted by the European powers, we wel
comed the fact as a great step in the progress
of the nations toward a Christian civilization.
When President Wilson ignored .the work of
his predecessors and brought home from Eu
rope a radically different plan, we regretted the
fact and frankly expressed our regret. But we
believe that in our international relations the
country should, if possible, present a united
front to the other nations. We hoped that by
amendments before the adoption of the presi
dent's plan it might be made safe, and by
amendments subsequently adopted by the league
itself the power of the executive council might
be diminished and the power of the court to be
organized might be increased, and the league
thus become a judicial, not a diplomatic league.
That hope has been destroyed. The republi
can leaders in the senate have made we think,
wisely, made a patient attempt to secure a non
partisan approval cf an amended league. The
president contemptuously scorns all proposals of
compromise, and his party will not adopt what
their leader so disdainfully rejects.
The senate will not accept the Wilson plan
without reservations. The president will not
accept it with reservations. There is one escape,
and only one, that we can see from this dead
lock, and we should like-to see the republican
party adopt it.
It is not probable that the statesmen of
other countries will follow President Wilson's
leadership as blindly as his party follows it. We
should like to see the republican party and its
presidential candidate pledged to call a third
meeting of the Hague conference after the elec
tion. Before that conference the whole matter
of international relations could be laid with
reasonable hope that in srch a conference an
adjustment could be made between the McKinley-Roosevelt
plan and the Wilson plan which
would transfer the emphasis in the Wilson plan
from the executive council to the as yet un
created court and wouW secure the co-operation
of all peoples in a common movement for jus
tice founded on law and bringing .with it the
promise of peace, rather than on diplomatic
agreements enforced by arms.
The whole country, with few excepiions,
desires some organic and well-defined interna
tional fellowship. The patchwork made by the
endeavor to save the diplomatic, league by rad
ical amendments is very little understood by
the people at large and very far from satisfac
tory to those who do understand it. .But the
policy of national isolation which has been
urged in some of the campaign appeals is a
policy both impracticable and dishonorable. It
is a revival of President Wilson's affirmation
that the war does not concern us, and is an at
tempt to revive in a new form the slogan, "He
kept us out of war.'

HOME NURSING OF MEASLES.
Maybe there U no reason why the
general run of folk should know
anything: about appendicitis.
Soma say the disease ia a rich
man's disease and the patient fur
nishes nothing- but the case and the
fee. Not so with jneasles. for mea
sles is a' disease of Abraham Lin
coln's plain people. Everybody has
'em.
' Measles in no hospital proposition.
Most folk have 'em at home, nursed
by mother and fed up on sheep tea
or other home made brews. There
fore, when Dr. James Wheatley
writes on home nursing1 of measles
ho is getting home to the "need of
things," as Kipling would say.
He tells us that measles Is Infec
tious from the first day (and he
might have said a few days before)
and continues for 10 to 14 days. A
sick person is not likely to spread
the disease except during the first
10 days of the illness. The incuba
tion period is given as 14 days.
Babies under five months of age
rarely have the disease and when
they do it is mild. Breastfed babies
seem almost immune to Jt. Babies
over six months are not immune and
when attacked get very sick. In
fact, one-third of the babies over
six months of age sick with measles
succumb.
The disease is more apt to attack
children in the second year, but it
is less severe in those of that age.
In fact, the older the child gets the
milder the disease, the chance of
getting well being six times as great
among children between three and
four as it ia in children between one
and two. One-tfalf of all deaths from
measles occur in children between
six months and two yetre of age.
Measles begins with "watering" of
the eyes and nose, ladness of the
eyes, spelling of the lids, fever and
dry hacking cough. Eors throat is
infrequent.
About two or three days after the
onset of the diseano the rab ap
pears on the faoo. Tne rash U much
coarser than that of ecartei fever
or German measles.
The disease is spread by the eye,
nose and mouth secretion. There Is
no evidence that clothing or carpets
can spread the disease. The organ
isms which get on tho clothing and
the rugs die speedily as a result of
drying and sunning. Fumigation
after measles is not done.
In order to do away with such
danger as there may be Dr. Wheat
ley advises visiting nurses to:
First. Wear a gown in the sick
room. To wipe this with an anti
septio- solution after each nee.
Second. Wash" the hands in an
antiseptic as she leaves the patient.
Third. Wash her hands before ap
proaching the next patient.
Fourth. Also to wash with antisep
tics thermometers and other instru
ments used with measles patients.
The mouth, throat, and nose of the
measles patient should be washed
frequently with boric acid solutions.
Children with measles should be
kept in bed for the first 10 days and
should stay upstairs for the next
three or four days. The sickroom
and the patient should be kept
clean.
Overcoming Pigeon Breast.
Jf. J. 8. writes: "Please write an
article on the pigeon chest and its
cure, if any."
REPLY.
Pigeon breast results from rick
ets. Your rickets is cured now, but
it has left you with a deformed
chest. If you are persistent and de
termined you can improve matters
considerably. Join a gymnasium
and take exercises to build up your
back and neck muscles. Keep it up
for years.
i
Brush and Grense Hair.
McF. writes: "I find that ever
since I was a victim of the flu a
year ago my hair has not. ceased
falling out. I'pon consulting with
my friends, 1 find that they are
similarly affected. Now it appears
that not only does my hair fall out
but my Bcalp lias become all pimply
and itchy. I have been advised to
do so many different things that I
am at a loss what course to take."
REPLY.
Spend several minutes each day
brushing your hRir. Wash your
hair with soap and water and then
grease it as often as necessary to
keep down itching and dandruff.
Here's One Theory.
S. C. writes: "I note with Interest
your discussion of the declining na
tive American stock. The question
is always suggested, 'What are we
going to do about it?' It seems to
me the way to get this question an
Kwered is to raise another question,
'AVhat is the cause of the decline?'
X was taught in college that from
the beginning of American history
our population has doubled every
25 years. We alwaya either have
Imported or begotten the Increase.
Whenever the Imports have risen
the birth rate has decreased, anu
vlca versa. The cause for this is
economic. A native born baby can.
rot compete with an imported adult.
It is easier for four adult foreigners
to make a living each for himself
than it Is for an American father to
make a living for himself and four
children, in either case America
gets the same population. We takr
our choice, beget or Import. For
too long we have been imparting.
Hight now when the war has re
vealed how poorly we have asslmi
lated our imports It Is a good time
to remember that if we will stop
bringing in foreigners America will
recruit her own population unless
she is to reverse the history she al
ways has made. Instead of scorn
ing the American parent for not be
getting his kind let's point out and
iry to remove his handicap."
REPLY.
Tour information that the birth
rate rises when tho immigration
rate falls may not be accurate. Cer
tainly they do not wholly compen
sate since the census reports taken
at 10-year intervals show that the
Increase in population from all
causes is not even.
FROM HERE AND THERE.
The latest English dictionaries
contain nearly 500,000 words.
In Japan, tobacco smoking is al
most universal with men, women

The Chinese have special fans for

In the last 600 years Mexico has

country In the world.
Twins are more common among
mothers of between 25 and SO years
than at other ages.
In Constantinople it Is Impossible
to communicate with any one by
mail. Instead, one must send a ser

A' peculiar Institution in Stock

The business hours in Mexico arc
from 9 to 12 o'clock and from 3'to fi
o'clock. Between 1 and 3 o'clock
i veryone sleeps or gossips, and after
7 o'clock none of the shops is to be
found open.
Clocks have been made within
recent years which seem almost to
solve the problem of perpetual mo
tion. For instance, there is a clock
which has already gone 15 years
with one winding, and its Inventor
claims it will run for 60.
The great English philanthropist,

You Clean House
Spring house cleaning is in vogue.- Maybe you are put
ting it off until you can quit using the furnace. No
use cleaning the walls and hanging new curtains if the
old, leaky furnace is going to continue smoking things
up, is there? Of course not, but it isn't necessary to have a smoky furnace in the house to make
all this bother eVery year. There is no need to have a register in each room they only bring more
dirt and do not add to the comfort of the house. '

The rapid air circulation makes it possible

Without extensive piping, the cellar remains
