OMAHA WEATHER AND WJND.
The newcomer to Omaha from any of the
states bordering on the Ohio river, whose first
months in Nebraska are those of March, April
and May, is likely to remember suddenly when
the opening month of summer arrives, that he
has missed something that never failed to at
tack him when he dwelt east of the Mississippi.
It is "that tired feeling" which spreads all over
the south and the tier of states beginning with
Pennsylvania on the east and extending to the
Mississippi states on the west. Everybody gets
it with the warm, drowsy, humid spring days
that come over there in April and May. It takes
all the snap and sparkle out of life until the
population becomes acclimated to it each year,
leaving people listless and lazy whether they
fight it or not.
All the papers back there blossom with ad
vertisements of patent medicines touted as
"spring tonics." Previous to July 1, 1919, every
barroom had its remedy for the prevailing tired
feefing. For those who never entered saloons
there were Hostetter's Bitters, a famous rem
edy, and Peruna, one of the most popular of
alcoholic medicines before an unfeeling govern
ment dehorned it by enormously reducing its
alcoholic content. These medicines brought re
lief and gladness to thousands of good people
every spring who would shrink in horror and
detestation from fine whiskey or beer. They
kept it in cupboards and took it neat with a
VAcle" conscience as a medicine that could al-
ayf -be depended on. Peruna specially adver-
ed that there was not a drop of whisky in its
IV Vnula, but it contained a kick that would make
. a strong man grunt if he doubled the dose.
But in Omaha spring passes with no touch
of "tired feeling." The newcomer need not hunt
for the reason. It is in the air about him,
which Is charged with a wholesome tonic that I

the excess humidity which (depresses into inertia
and languor all animal life! over a large extent
of eastern territory.
And the spring winds of Omaha! the racing,
rushing, sportive air that charges with energy
, every pulse, and plays "strange music, celestial
symphonies" to leaping spirits! And now
"The .wind, the wandering wind
'Of the golden summer eves
Whence is the thrilling magic
Of its tunes amongst the leaves?
. Oh, is it from the waters.
Or from the long, tall grass?
Or is it from the hollow rocks
Through which its breathings pass?"
A Secret Ballot, Indeed.
Existing difficulties between the street rail
way company and its union employes bring
forcibly to public attention once more the great
interest which the non-combatant common citi
zen has in labor disputes involving public serv
ice corporations. Particularly is public interest
attracted by one feature of the present contro
versy, the refusal of union leaders to make pub
lic, or even. make known to their own members,
the votes cast for and against the proposal to
strike.
There is much hue and cry now as hereto
fore over the publicity of political contributions.
Yet the vote of a labor union on a strike may
under certain circumstances be fraught with
fully as much consequence to the average man
as the election of a public official. In immediate
and definite results, it may and frequently does'
exert a greater influence on his daily life, his
earning of daily bread and his enjoyment of
ordinary conveniences and pleasures, than the
election even of a president.
Yit the votes 'cast in a union election, unlike
thou cast in a public election, are counted in
secret, without representation by the public and
frequently without representation of the rank
and file of the union. True, the union is a pri
vate, not a public organization. Yet in the case
of public utilities at least, it would seem that the
public has just reason to expect a frank dis
closure of the vote, with assurance of a fair
count.
Labor unions have only to look at their past
record to prove to themselves that they have
nothing to fear from public opinion when their
cause is just and is fairly presented.
Publicvopinion alone has enabled them to
win most of their historic battles for increased
wages "or better conditions. It is the claim of
their leaders that lack of unprejudiced informa
tion on the part of the public is their most
serious handicap. If that be so, they have
nothing to lose and much to gain by treating
the public as though they believed it worthy of
their trust. ,
- With coal sufficient for 7,000 years, the world
now needs a genius who can extract its po
tential enerpv and store it in small space for
use on vehicles. "Gas" is high, and nobody
predicts 7,000 years of oil, although it may be
there. Oil for twentv vears, they say now, but
pshaw! we remember when the coal supply was
estimated at 400 years only.
Our new secretary of state at Washington
has a sense of humor. He told this story the
other day:
On one occasion Mark Twain was requested
to make a financial contribution to a new orphan
asylam. He listened to the arguments of those
who solicited it and then' remarked:
"I am sorry I cannot make you a financial
contribution. At the first opportunity, however,
I will send you a couple of orphans."
t -
Several important measures faded out of en
actment "before congress adjourned, is the news
from Washington. True, but the public may
remember that more than a few unimportant
bills also failed to slip over the wall of enact
ment. And those "unimportant" bills usually
carry a large personal and selfish interest some
where.
Two Tremendous Reforms.
While the reformers in the U. S. A. have
been getting their strangle-hold on rum a job
that kept them fairly busy for twenty-five years
with the hundred million population there is
-another people numbering four hundred millions
has throttled its perverted appetite for a nox
ious drug.
What ha. happened to rum in our much
lauded country has happened to opium in China.
That srafty people has so far overcome' an evil
habit that the fight of its reformers is now nine
tenths won. At Hongkong $20,000,000 worth of
opium was destroyed in one bonfire a "bon"
fire indeed and lately $50000,000 worth more
was burned.
We are a great people. And 'watch the Chi
nese when the fumes of the pipe get well out
of their brains!
Judge Bonniwell of Pennsylvania persists in
his charge that Attorney. General Palmer
"bought delegates" in that state. Pushed by the
senatorial investigating committee, he said:
Of course I cannot give the legal evidence
now, but when my automobile is crowded off the
road every time I drive out of Philadelphia by
whisky laden trucks the thing is demonstrated.
I When a man who has been my political sup
porter for years deserts me overnight and I
learn the next day that he has received a truck
load of whisky, I know what has induced him
to change.
Laborers in the distillery and brewery
lectors of politics will have no difficulty in
grasping the essential idea in the judge's state--

Fred Jackson, blacksmith in Dowagtac News
territory, has the courage to announce: "Hav
ing charged maximum prices as long as pos
sible, I find a further continuance of this policy
impossible, and therefore am cutting present
prices one-half."
They'll all be cut under the same conditions,
for nobody is doing impossible things since the
period of miracles closed.
Women burned a British flag in front of the
United States Treasury one day last week.
They carried banners inscribed "Money loaned
by the United States keeps Ireland in subjec
tion," and "Call the loans to England in."
v ' Just what would we think if the flag of the
United States were publicly burned, in front of
the Bank of England, with never a word or act
of protest from the British government?
A wise guy, Will Hays. With open, public
essioni of the national committee, the force
of criticism against its decisions is minimized.
And everybody will be glad the policy of dodg
ing by "giving contestants half is abolished.
That sort of decision was always rank injus-
tice to both regulars and cptestants.

When all the world is young, lad,

You loved when you were young.

The Bartender Remarks.
The other night I stopped in a drug store
for a chocolate soda night-cap. Behind the
counter I recognized a man who used to serve
me "100 proof" in the good old days. I felt
sorry for him.
"Not much like the old place, is it, Ben?" I
remarked commiseratingly.
"No, it isn't," he replied, pleasantly.
"Longer hours, I suppose?"
"No, shorter hours."
"Well, you can't be making as much money."
"I'm making more money.'
"Must feel a little lost, don't you?"
"I've got lots of company. All the ex-bartenders
have switched to these jobs."
"Just the same it must seem a lot different.
What's the biggest change you've noticed, Ben?"
"Well," replied Ben, after a moment's hesi
tation, "the greatest change is my old customers.

. We must learn to feel, both as individuals
and as communities, that we have a place in
history; that we stand in a long succession of
men who have inherited principles and ideals
from our fathers and we are to transmit to our
children those principles and those ideals in
greater fullness- and strength. When we can
really become possessed of the idea that we and
those about us are a part of a great movement of
human life from age to age, then, and not till
then, do we feel the best of inspirations that
which comes of working for all time. We must
learn to get hold of the best traditions of the
past and really work them into our lives, be
caus eby this means we can get hold of ideals
for the future which will make life worth. liv

Did You Ever Sec Worse?
Sfh Talking of lucidity of style, this from a
"magazine devoted to the prevention and cure
of imperfect sight without glasses" may appeal
to you:
"When he comes to realize, through actual
demonstration of the fact, that he does not see
best where he is looking, and that when he looks
a sufficient distance away from a point he can
see it worse than when he looks directly at it,
he becomes able, in some way, to reduce the dis
tance to which he has to look in order to see
worse, until he can look directly at the top of a
small small letter and see the bottom worse, or
look at the bottom and see the top worse."

who will furnish a lucid interpretation I offer

"THE great trouble with pastors," Mr. Bruce
Barton told a gathering of them," is that they
do not know what news is. The things that
Christ did were great news. They would be
great news today." And Mr. Brisbane remarks
that pastors who long for "quieter" newspapers
should read Matthew xxi., 19, and note that the
information there conveyed was sensational.
YES, the great need of the Bible is head
lines. The sensational happening to which Mr.
Brisbane alludes is buried, in a mess of para
graphs which have for heading merely "Chap
ter XXI." It deserves something like this:

The Talky Drama.
(A. B. Walkley, in the London Times.) I
Obviously we never get so near Shakespeare
and Shakespeare's natural temperament as in
these moments of talk for its own sake, talk un-
rettered by the exigencies of the plot. For that
talk wells up spontaneously and is not turned
on to order; the poet has something interesting
in his mind which he is bursting to say, and if to
say it will keep the plot waiting, why, so much
the worse for the plot. And here is a reason, I
think, in favor of plays of talk. We get nearer
the author in them; in good talk the author is
expressing a pleasure so strong as to override
the objection of irrelevance, and in sharing that
pleasure we get the best of him, the spontaneous
element in him, the man himself. On the other
hand, mere yarn-spinning, mere plot-weavinf,
may be an almost mechanical exercise.

Free Verse.
(Further Letters of John Butler Teats.)
What is free verse? I have seen it described
learnedly, imposingly, and plausibly, yet for all
that I am suspicious. Is it not another attempt
on the part of democracy to make poetry as
clamorous and common as itself, and at the
same time to insult the past, and does it not try
all the time to get poetry out of fairyland &
into the world of actuality? It can't be done.
Out of fairyland poetry is a fish out of water.
. . . Free verse claims that it is spontaneous
and alone spontaneous, and for this purpose has,
to my thinking, got rid of order. Spontaneity
rising in the bosom like a fountain is only a
misery, and however useful and Indeed neces
sary to human growth and progress, its essence
is pain and struggle and that is all you get in
free verse. It makes valuable reading for
apathetic souls, but it tires me to death; it is a
wild torrent and it wearies me to wach its
muddy tumult. I long for the compelling word
or. cadence of order. Free verse is enthusiasm
ana Joy and laughter and hope and fear and all
manner of things; and beauty is none of these
things, but is Just beauty and is to be found not
at all in everyday life. It discovers itself only
to those who escape from everyday life and enter
fairyland.

THE GOITER REGIONS.
It has long been known that goiter
Is very prevalent in certain cantons
in Switzerland, McCord and Walker
tell us that it is likewise very prev
alent in parts of India and Brazil.
In 1874 it was estimated that one
half the people had goiter. In Eng
land and Scotland there are certain
sections where the condition is very
prevalent, going by such names as
Derbyshire neck and Nithsdale neck.
Prior to the great war most of us
had a notion that the American
goiter region was the neighborhood
of the great lakes, but beyond that
we knew , little about the situation.
The reports from the draft examin
ers indicate that the disease is very
paevalent around Washington, D. C,
an in Washington, Oregon and Mon
tana, as well as around the great
lakes, and that certain southern
states have very little of it.
Other American centers are por
tions of Montana, Dakota, and Mis
sisslpi, reported by Holder; certain
Indian reservations, by Munson; cer
tain sections of Pennsylvania, by
Ashmead: certain sections of New
York, Ohio, Virginia, Vermont, Con
necticut, Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire, reported by Bucher; cer
tain section of Michigan, by
Dock.
McCord and Walker say there is
but little in the Atlantic states ex
cept in western New York and west
ern Pennsylvania, and but little in
the gulf states except Texas.
Various studies of groups of civ
ilians to discover the prevalence of
goiter have been made. In Akron,
O., 67 per cent of 3,872 school girls
in the fifth to 12th grades were
found to' have goiter, 60 per cent of
the girls 18 to 20 had it. In West
Virginia, 9 per cent of 13,836 school
children, boys and girls, had it. In
Virginia 12 per cent of 6,432 school
children were affected. Less than
per cent of the goiter is among
boys. ,
In the University of Washington
18 per cent of the men and 31 per
cent of the women in a student body
of 3,339 had enlarged thyroid glands.
In Chicago Olson found that 7 per
cent of 193 men and 18 per cent of
606 women between 18 and 60 years
of age had goiter. Of 61,507 men
from the midwest, including Texas,
examined at Jefferson barracks,
United States army, near St. Louis,
1.63 per cent had enlarged thyroids.
The high percentages were from the
following states: Oklahoma, 30;

Of 21,182 Boldiers from 11 states
examinod at Camp Lewis, Washing'
ton, 21 per cent had enlarged thy
rolds. Marine says that 90 per cent
of the dogs in Cleveland have goiter.
In the early days the sheep Indus
try of Michigan was a failure be
cause so many of the lambs had
goiters, were cretins and runts, and
died or failed to develop. Just
about the time they were ready to
abandon raising sheep salt was
found in Michigan and the sheep
breeders commenced usfhg salt from
the local supplies. It was found
that the local salt as fed to sheep
contained minute traces of iodine.
When the use of this salt was begun
the sheep Quit developing goiters.
Smith reported that .at one time
1,000,000 young pigs died from goi'
ter In Montana each year. The addi
tion of a minute trace of iodine to
the food of the sows stopped the loss
of pigs from goiter. In Montana,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Wash
incton. Minnesota and parts of Can
ada, there are valleys where most of
the domestic animals have goiter, in
goiter' regions many fish have goi
ter. In fish hatcheries goiter can
ba eotten rid of by keeping the wa
ter clean and adding a faint trace of
iodine to it.

Gompers-Allcn Debate.
Shenandoah, la., June 2. To the
Editor of The Bee: Note your report
of the recent Industrial Debate In
New York. No doubt this Is only a
fore'runner of the larger issues to be
waged in the. open. Indeed, the air
is surcharged with a controversy.
From the standpoint of prophecy
wo feel safe in saying that autocracy
is doomed, inasmuch as the God
of Justice has championed the poor
and the needy. Moreover, Holy
Writ is sponsor lor the thoughts
that this contest will wax so hot
that under the inspired figures, we
read: "The world" will "be on fire."
Once we took this referring to terra
firrna. but a larger vision now out
lines the Divine program in the cogs
of human affairs, to be followed
thereafter with the reestblishment
of the Mosalo law under a greater
Mediator the Spiritual Ktn, pos
sessed of all power and righteous
ness. .Hence we read how the ele
roents fthall melt (labor, social, v
capitalistic, etc.) with fervent heat,
and the cosmos (order-world)
"shall pass avay with a grent
noise." - It is the quinessence of fool
ishness to apply this language to
the doom's day of fanatics, slnro
"the earth abides forever."
