BACK TO SOLID FOOTING.
rOne of the objections urged against Warren
G. IJrlarjh'ng by the democratic press is that
at ($ a disciple of McKinley. By this it is in
.tenfcd to convey the ideaethat he is devoted
fo ;hf material purpose of advancing the in-
I a ...
cusrJHU.ana commercial interests of the United
Stales, with the implication that the spiritual
growth of the nation is to be neglected. The
desirability of the one and the absurdity of
theiother must appeal to all. If the election of
Handing it to restore the era of progress marked
by ha McKinley administration, nothing more
' can , b asked.
. .
:It Is, true that President McKinley gave
oflrj support to the increase of American In
dustry m all Its branches, but it is equally true
that he did not diminish the nation as a moral
factor In the world's history. In all our'record
there it nothing finer than the liberation of Cuba
andlh4v guardianship of the Philippines, entered
inti' while McKinley was president. Senator
Hafding does not subscribe to the dogma laid
doWn by Woodrow Wilson in his Idealistic view
must, that the United States has a mission to"
the 'world, but he also feels that the force of
that mission is lessened by unwise efforts to in
clude immediately all the nations in its mani
festations, thereby involving us inextricably In
a morass from which egress is difficult if not
impossible. We have had enough of Bryanism,
with its glittering generalities and its unwork
able proposals; it is time to cease going about
with our head's in the clouds, and to take some
note of where we are setting our feet. On this
poilht the Philadelphia Public Ledger lays:
A Harding-Coolidge administration should
bring us back from the clouds. We
can let the Almighty run His own universe
for a few years, while we make of America
the grandest single secular power in the
world for righteousness, honor, freedom and
decency. We may or may not get into a for
mal league of nations, but nothing in the
world can keep us out of the brotherhood of
mankind. We were not members of any
league when we went to the rescue of the
Cubans and then presented them magnificent
lywith self-government If anybody wants to
know what we think about Ireland, let him
look at Cuba. We were not members of a
league when we took up the challenge of the
! German autocracy and rushed to the help of
the democratic forces battling for human free
dom. We do not require to belong to an or
ganization, or to wear a uniform, or to pay
ar initiation fee to be decent, straight-think-,
infr. clean-living, liberty-loving American"who
wtjl fight any foe on earth, however far or
formidable, who wars umn the things we love
arfd the principle we cherish.
The election of Harding and Coolidge will
men, if anything, that the American people are
going to resume the course that made them
great, that of attending to their own business,
anji ths setting an example for all the world.
Wf can. afford to do this, and without any vio
lence tt our conscience as a people or injustice
to humanity.
h -
J Show-Down for Turkey at Hand.
lAffairs have progressed with some speed
around the Golden Horn within the last few
dajs. England and France having given per
mission to Greece to go to it and finish Kemal
PaSha and his Nationalist forces, the Turk now
coijnters with the assertion that if deprived of
Smrnf the treaty will not be signed on behalf
of the "sultan. This appears to join the issue,
an: further argument will depend on the out
come of the Greek effort to end the Nationalist
upsing in "two days;" as was, promised.
Jjireece is not ready to concede Smyrna to
Tutkey, Bulgaria, or any other country. Here
was one of President Wilson's futile and inept
"efforts to settle the time-worn troubles of the
Balkans. His partition of Smyrna did not
sui either of the contenders, and has had but
scant attention at the council board. Presence
of Turkey in Europe continues to be the bone
of contention, and it is not improbable that
the Entente powers may yet consent to the
6 . , . .t . . . if
expulsion or me wnoman government iromton
stantinople. The Turkish claim that Russia, the
only government with a valid claim to the city,
ha disappeared, is a subterfuge, worthy of no
i more serious consideration than other reasons
set-up for retaining the ancient Christian capital
in the hands of its conquerors. Persia and
northern India are involved, because of the Bol
shevik demonstrations, but the likelihood of a
jehad is remote.
Whatever the outcome, the incidents con
nected; with the affair give a most impressive
iUtiptration of what the United States has
Mtl by not entering the League of Nations
onjterms proposed by the president. Had we
been in, we Could scarcely have refused the
Armenian mandate, and would surely have
beSn bound by the settlement as to lurkey.
Thfs would bring us squarely onto the firing
line again, for Greece has only been substituted
for the United States because of our absence.
Quiet will be brought to Turkey, because in
fluential Turks are eager for the end of the war,
andj a chance to develop the nation along modern-
lines. Their efforts are making some im
prejsicjn, and when the turbulent elements are
finally put down, as they must be, a new era
will come to the Mussulman empire, and it will
1ae its chance to build tip a solid nationality
alp'tig way of usefulness. The .United States
Without Article X.
Ratification of the Treaty of Versailles jtid
adoption of the covenant for a League of Na
tions without Article X is proposed by Herbert
Hoover, who argues that the present experience
of Europe demands the elimination of that
provision as a tiasic element of the pact. He
questions, and with some force, whether the ob
jections raised to the contents' of the article in
the United States are' not also undermining the
league in Europe. Talk of a separate pact, he
says, is "bunk," and the United States will
sooner or later be required to ratify the Treaty
of Versailles. x
It was over Article X that all the hullabaloo
was raised. The president referred to it as the
"heart of the covenant," and steadfastly declined
to consider any modification of it. Its working
out in Europe has thoroughly demonstrated the
dangers it included, and the attitude of the' En
tente powers has made clear the fact that the
United States alone, would be called upon to
provide the military forces needed to enforce
the guarantees included in the article. It was
this that was foreseen by Senator Lodge and
those associated with him, who resolutely re
fused to mortgage the manhood and the wealth
of their country to support authority over the
unruly and recalcitrant little countries in'
Europe. We could easily be at war in several
places had the president's way been adopted.
Mr. Hoover's analysis of the covenant is
keen and conclusive. . The republican party has
a splendid opportunity just now to win the
approval of the people by following the policy
which guided the senators who rejectedthe
document because of Article X and the military
guarantees it involved. To restore peaceand
establish agreement without resort to arms is
possible, and to that end the republican can
effectively work, leaving, as Mr. Hoover puts it,
"our democratic friends fencing upon the ground
of advocacy of a practical military alliance
upon which their safety devices only further en
danger the , real value of the league."
Mr. Bryan Hat 'Era Guessing.
The advent of William Jennings Bryan is
anxiously awaited by the administration forces
at San Francisco. They know that the Nebras
kan is coming loaded for bear, and they ajso
know that he will not disclose his band until the
right moment comes. How to prepare to meet
his onslaught is the problem. The situation is
complicated by the fact that Bryan rs uncom
promisingly dry as well as anti-Wilson. What
sort of combination can be made to overcome
this and hold in line delegates whose prefer
ence is plain for one or the other of these para
mounts and obscure on the other puzzles the
Wilson group. A dry administration man or
a wet ant! is made equally dangerous, and the
undoubted skill of the late secretary of state
at arranging coalitions among discordant ele
ments stands him well in stead just now. i
That Mr. Brvan has a score to settle with
the president is well known. This is not so im- J
portant in itself as js the fact that personal pres
tege depends on the issue. The Wilson sun
is setting, but if its dying rays light up the
path of William Jennings Bryan to political
oblivion, the president's worshippers will be de
voutly happy. On the contrary, the shrewd and
resourceful Bryan will do his best to so arrange
the outcome that the last hours of the presi
dent's stay in the White house will be more or
less "sweetened" by the thought that the man
who made him at -Baltimore has made another
at San Francisco and will live to dominate and
direct future conventions of the party. x
It is a pretty contest between leaders, and
for the moment the peerless has the advantage,
because his plans are yet undisclosed.
McAdoo and the Donkey. '
' Late word from San Francisco is that Carter
Glass has declared for William Gibbs McAdoo
as his choice for candidate. Senator Glass dis
claims any accent of the voice from the White
house, but his announcement came after along
and confidential communication with Homer S.
Cummings, the only other man who shares with
the Virginian the full and perfect approach to
the inner sanctuary from which proceedeth.the
inspiration that moves the rickety old organiza
tion known as the democratic party. It may,
therefore, be accepted that the name of McAdoo
will go before the convention supported 1y the
influence of the administration.
This will clear the skirts of the candidate,
who- has consistently avowed himself as not
seeking the place. He cannot, however, fail to
give heed to the demand as imperative as that
from the White house. Like the lady In the
poem, who, "vowing that she'd ne'er consent,
consented," Mr. McAdoo will hearken to "his
master's voice" once more, and whether too
poor or not, will gracefully bestride the donkey
if bidden to do so, and do his best to belabor
the patient but decrepit beast into some sem
blance of a race. i
A University of Pennsylvania professor who
has "located the center of the universe" and can
take you out on a starry night and point his
finger right at it, has also expressed the opinion
that the universe is not limitless. Just think
that over, a minute and get,a headache.
Apparently the New Ycrk Times isbitterly
chagrined by the selection of Harding. Being
an "independent" paper, it was set on having a
weak nomination made at Chicago. Hence the
flood of- malicious detractions on its editorial
pages. -

Ruy a Yard of Books
Carlyle boasted that he had never purchased
a single book which he did not absolutely re
quire and that most of those he needed for his
histories were borrowed. .The Southeys who
cram their houses with books are rare, while
great men of affairs are often astonishingly in
different to bok ownership. Lincoln walked
miles as a boy to borrow books, but, when grown
he rarely purchased any, borrowing Herndon's
instead. Yet admitting all this, any decay of
book ownership would be regrettable.
The man who prizes a book' enough to buv
it is likelier to make use of it than the Lydia
Languish who sends round to the circulating
library. It is an incentive to read merely to
have books at hand, and their absence means
wasted moments. The adolescent whose curios
ity is not stimulated by family shelves, and who
cannot browse there at whatever random
moment he chooses, misses more than he knows.
Above all, Bacon's injunction that some books
are to be tasted, some chewed and some
swallowed and digested is pertinent, for diges
tion without long possession is impossible. We
should buy books even if we have to buy them
like Barric's hero, who ordered fifteen yards' of
the best literatuire. New York Evening tost.,

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
When the lady mayoress of New
catstle had an opportunity to address
a concress on sanitation, she talked
on woman's rights. She said women
alone understand the inner necessi
ties; of a well ordered household so
they are, as a rule, the host authori
ties on the subject. Take for in
stance the placing of the larder as
a keeping place for food. Where
is- the woman who" would place it
near an outside drain or in the dl
rect line of coal dust or in the
kitchen near the heat.
Spoiled food causes considerable
illness, especially with babies, as well
as much waste. Yet these mistakes
occur daily.-
Why not let us have some women
architects? Other matters well
worth considering are more general.
Use 'of tiles for floors and glazed
bricks for walls -to facilitate clean
ing, avoiding the construction of
dark corners which too often be
come forgotten dust traps, simple
drain pipes all these are points
which a woman architect would take
into full consideration.
Tho lady mayoress having stirred
up the animals, Miss Minton Sen-
house continued harping on the same
string.
The practical woman who actually
has run a house is the only one
who can tell us if a labor saving de
vice is of use. Let us consider the
relation between the family health
and labor saving devices. Each
.dult requires 1,000 cubic feet of
air space. Do we get it in our
houses? It is the women ind chil
dren who must stay in the house,
Without labor saving devices a worn
an must spend most of her tiftae in
doors and there she does not get
enough air and sunshine. The car
pet sweeper and vacuum cleaner aim
to collect the dust in covered vessels
But how unnecessarily difficult and
Inefficient is cleaning with the ar
rangement of fitting on and near the
floor. Mice and roaches propagate
behind baseboards and under floors
which cannot be cleaned.
Is there any woman here who
cleans out her cold water cistern
when spring cleaning? Why? They
are so placed that only a monkey or
a plumber's boy can reach into their
interiors.
Our shelves are too high, our
ovens too low and stoves are in such
a position that the eyesight is
strained in using them. -
Abolish moldings. Table legs, win
dow frames, doors, stoves, bannis
ters, electric lights and gas fittings,
even sewing machines, are defaced
with senseless moldings which col
lect dust. Next replace the corner
with the curve all over the house.
Do not forget the corners of the
window panes, also tho corners of
cupboard shelves and drawers.
Some kind of a Artless cooker
which can be wiped out after each
use should be built into each house.
Then we want an outdoor room in
every house on the principle of the
wido veranda with storm shutters to
shield it from the wind. Meals
could be taken out of doors much
more ofteij if we had such a room.
Every invention should be tried
before being used. We have experi
mental farms for agriculture. Can
we not have an experimental station
for testing the value of household
devices? Nine-tenths of the sickness
is cared for in homes. Some sick
ness Is due to bad homes. Housing
and home questions have health relations.
Blame Stove, Not Bacilli.
Mrs. A. E. writes: "Do you think
I have consumption? I am hoarse
and when I cough my spit has
streaks of black in it. I feel well
otherwise. I have a healthy, fat
baby 5 months old and I furnish
lots of milk. There is no consump
tion in my family. The stove makes
lots of smoke in my room."
REPLY.
Neither of the symptoms noted in
dicate consumption if there are no
other signs. Black sputum results
from breathing air in which there is
a good deal of smoke or dust.
WTiooping Cough Facts.
F. C. writes: "There are a num

Trucks Versus Horses.
Omaha, Jutve IS. To the Edi
tor of Thv Bee: Will you kind
ly grant me space to discuss
this topic a moment? The ques
tion is almost daily propounded
why I do not use trucks Instead
of horses. It does not require any
expert knowledge to give a free an
unbiased opinion on this subject. I
wish to say in advance I have been
raised on a farm where I have used
horses all my life, and Dobbin has
a warm spot in my makeup. So in
the past few months I have been
trying to adapt myself to the use of
the truck, and will endeavor to
draw a fair comparison. In the
nature of things it has been neces-'
sary for me to hire a truck to
handle a commodity that the pro
prietors demand from $3.25 to $3.50
for per hour (tonnage they did not
caro to discuss). The chauffeur, of
course, goes with the truck, lie, as
well as the truck, is a "time"' prop
osition. My experience is the llrst
hour is worth about double the
fourth or fifth as the driver has
sized up the time it takes to make
the first load. The chump 'having
the work done usually accompanies
this first trip and you can bank on
that being the record trip. Now, if
you are wise at this stage of the
game' you will summarily dismiss
this outfit and hire an entirely dif
ferent one and avoid thiistiness and
cigaret rolling and cooling of the
motoc as well as the chauffeur. The
first hour in your presence is worth
two in your absence. Now for
Dobbin and his owner. He charges
me from $6.50 to $7 to handle the
same amount of stuff, and his old
cob pipe winds up about the same
firs: symptoms?
"3. Can a child have It more
than once?
"4. Does every child have to have
this sickness at some time or other?
"5. If care Is taken and the child
free from whooping cough is kept
away from sick children, how could
that child contract v hooping
cough?"
REFLY.
1. It is.
2. - The stage of fever does not
last two weeks. The stage of con
tagiousness seldom lasts longer than
four weeks. The child, however,
may cough for many weeks, and the
Ccigh hay have a certain whoopy
quality. ,
3. Possible, but very improbable.
4. No. Many escape. Since the
disease is so dangerous to nursing
bi'bies, they should be protected in
every way possible.
5. It cannot be contracted except
by contact with a child suffering
from whooping cough and in the
contagious stage.
About High Blood Pressure.
Mrs. S. S. R. writes: "I. What
causes high Dlood pressure?
"2. Is 200 dangerous for a man
35 years old?
"3. Does kidney trouble cause
blood pressure to go higher .than
normal?"
REPLY.
1. There are many canses. iVmong
them are lead poisoning, syphilis,
tobaccTT poisoning, prolonged chronic
constipation, prolonged overeating.
2. It is.
3. The principal factor In high
blood pressure is thickening of the
arteries. This is called arterio
sclerosis. There is one form of
Bright's disease that is closely re
lated to arterio-scerosis. One of the
signs of arterio-sclerosis is Bright's
disease, and one of the signs of
Brighfs disease is high blood pres
time of day as the truck. In in
voicing the truck costs $21 and man
with cob pipe $7. Does it require
any expert to draw conclusions?
Seen from 21 is 14. The truck own
er conteinls that ho has $3,000 In
vested. If the driver would load
is truck to capacity it would be a
different story, nut you suggest
something nnd you have something
coming like this; "Who is running
this truck, you or rno?" I may be
a crank, but Dobbin and cob pipe
for a while yet, at least.

in the clothes worn by the women in
the two parishes. The women of
St. Thfllp Neris parish dress neatly
while thoso of your congregation
havo scarcely any toggery on their
busts, likewise their garments are
too far from the dust. I would rec
ommend a couple of alert ushers
with a box of safety pins at the
church door to remedy the ladies
toggery."
I might mentlon'that I havo not
attended said church very often
since I sent that communication.
JERRY HOWARD.
Democratic Hypocrisy to tl Irish.
York, Neb-, June 18. To the
Editor of The Uee: Will you
kindly permit nin to say through
tho columns of The Bee that the
criticisms of democratic newspa
pers nnd individuals of the repub
lican convention over the "lost Irish
plank" in the platform adopted at
Chicago, is not deceiving the friends
of Irish freedom, not even a little
bit, nor will the friends of Irish
freedom be deceived by any puerile,
wishy-washy plank in the demo
crats platform adopted at Pan
Francisco expressing sympathy foi
the oppressed Irish. . If the newspa
pers and individuals who criticise
the republicans for the lost Irish
plank in the republican platform
are sincere In their sympathy for
Ireland, if they are sincere in their
desire to see this oldest nation of
Europe, save one, and the lonRest
and worst oppressed by kllen rule,
an Independent, free country, tho
democrats have it in their power
now, Just as Wilson had It in his
power, had he had the will, at the
Paris peace conference, to free Ire
land from the brutal rule of her in
vading Turk, the English.
Instead of puerile reaoluting if
tho democrats want any one to have
confidenco In .their expressions of
sympathy for Ireland in her strug
gle to throw of the yoke of her op
pressor let them adopt as a part of
their platform H plank demanding
that Wilson exercise his undisputed
and indisputable right to recognize
the independence of Ireland, and at
once, and this act of his will settle
now and for all time to come the
so-called "Irish question." We have
had enough and more than enough
nf hypocritical pretense of sympathy
for Ireland. Let the democrats at
San Francisco put some "punch"
Into whatever disposition they make
of the Irish plank, or withhold their
criticisms of other convention for
their cowardice. Yours truly.
J. E. CARLIN.
Abundant Proof.
Dr. Butler's comment on the Chi
cago convention are proof enough
that the convention was quite right
