MONEY IN POLITICS.
Addressing a group of diners, William Gibbs
) McAdoo deplores the "corrupt" use of money
in politics, and declares that the office of presi
dent of the United States should never be pur
: chaseable. To this all will cheerfully subscribe,
; but the question of money in politics has and
, "will be an open one. One of the sad features
1 of popular government is that a great general
campaign can not be carried on without a con-
siderable expenditure of money. Seldom does
a candidate spring, as did Mr. Bryan in 1896,
into overshadowing popularity without the
stimulation of publicity. This is provided in
several ways, but all entailing the expenditure
of money.
The nation-wide primary, longed for by Mr.
McAdoo, is one of the most costly processes
for making a selection, and can scarcely be
recommended as a means to economy and for
eliminating possible extravagance. Four years
'ago in the state of Iowa almost $600,000 was ex
pended on the campaigns of the two gubernator
ial candidates alone, and no thought of corrup
tion has ever arisen in connection with either.
Men who have sought office in Nebraska since
She primary law was adopted know something
xl what is involved in the way of legitimate
expense. Laws limiting the amount that may
be spent and requiring sworn statements from
Candidates have had some effect, but all recog
nize the fact that money is needed to secure
nomination and election.
Party organization must be kept up, and this,
;too, necessitates some expense. It is borne
directly by members of the party, but that docs
not do away with the fact. Careful analysis
leads inevitably to the conclusion that money
'is needed to carry on any campaign. As to
corrupt" use of money, that is something else.
Examine Mr. McAdoo's situation, if you
please. Who is simple enough to believe that
all the hullabaloo sent up in his name at San
Francisco was the spontaneous outpouring of
a popular demand for a national champion?
Omit any reference to the preliminaries, which

:job-holders' brigade behind the "crown prince?"
Is it permissible to employ the time of public
officials, drawing salary from funds gathered by
taxation, and wrong to use private funds to ac
complish a similar purpose?.
Mr. McAdoo's diatribe and jeremiad com
bined would have come with much greater
jorce from some one who had not sd lately
emerged defeated from a boss-ridden convention.
Work and Play. x
i In a perfectly ordered life, work and play
should be about equally divided, in our opinion.
, We are in a world of contrasts comfort and
discomfort, ugliness and beauty, sorrow and
joy, pain and pleasure, wrong and right, activity
and repose, work and play. We can never ap
preciate good without contrasting it with evil.
All work and no play gives Jack a dull day, be
cause there is no contrast in it.
In a life of sixty years there should be thirty
devoted to hard, continuous, honest work say
from 20 to SO and an equal period in which play
predominates say from childhood to 20 and
from 50 to 60. We are using the word "play"
to include not only games and sports, but
amusements and recreations of all sorts, travel
and vacations. Under the conditions which
.have existed in this country for two generations
thirty years of work by intelligent, economical,
Jthrifty people, have been sufficient to build up
an abundance for the period between SO and 60.
; That the average man of 50 is not prepared
to give up hard, continuous work is largely his
own fault If he has failed to amass a fund to
live on he knows the reason why, although he
may deny it. If he has the fund and considers
"it insufficient, it is because he has allowed his
expenditures to expand far beyond his neces
sities. He has taken on unnecessary silk shirt
habits.
: Perhaps our philosophy of life is all wrong.
yit are oftener wrong than right, being mar
ried; but we have never pretended to love work
undiluted with play. When we meet a man
iwho prates that he hopes to work to the end
Swe wish we could lie as fluently as he. We are
for latter years of ease and freedom for the
whole human race. Not having personally had
them yet, we do not envy those who are now
enjoying them. Knowing whose fault it is that
this is the case, we are not blaming anybody
outside the family for the situation. But we
would drop this counsel to those who have ad
vanced from the playtime of youth: Begin now
"to save for ten years of good times after you
::have reached fifty years.
; Industrial Use of Alcohol.
S It is curiously, interesting to note that not
nly in America but in a great many other
lands the possible sources of alcohol are being
listed, the main object being to produce a suf
jficient quantity to meet probable requirements
'of industry. Chiefly this turns on the value of
alcohol as a fuel Experiments are being ex
, tended, and results most encouraging are being
recorded. The Bee has consistently for more
-than a dozen years advocated the use of alcohol
as a source of power, heat and light, realizing
that only the fact that it is objected to as a
beverage stands in the way of its general use.
When a satisfactory method of rendering it
unfit for human consumption is devised, alcohol
may be adapted to a great many services from
which it is now excluded. However, the inves
tigations being carried on conclusively prove that
the usefulness of the fluid has not been fully
determined, and is not limited by its demoniac
qualifications when too freely imbibed.
Facts About Prohibition.
"I wish," said a leading Omaha woman
worker to The Bee, "that you would give us
some facts in connection with the adoption of
the eighteenth amendment." Here they are:
One of the most often repeated assertions of
the "wets" is that the. amendment was put over
during war, when 2,000,000 voters were out
of the country, and the people had no chance
to express themselves on the issue. .The truth
is that before the amendment to the Constitution
of the United States was submitted, 32 of the
48 states, or two-thirds of the whole, had al
ready climbed on the water wagon through the
vote of the people. These states are:
Alabama New Hampshire
Arkansas New Mexico
Arizona Nebraska
Colorado Nevada
Florida Ohio
Georgia Oklahoma
Idaho Oregon
Indiana South Dakota
Kansas South Carolina
Iowa 1 Tennessee
Mississippi Texas
Michigan Utah
Montana Virginia
Maine Washington
North Dakota West Virginia
North Carolina Wyoming
In many other states local option had almost
extinguished the saloon. Delaware was bone
dry with the exception of the city of Wilming
ton. Fifty-five of the 88 counties in Illinois
were dry; of the 120 counties in Kentucky 107
were dry; Minnesota was 60 per cent and Mis
souri 53 per cent dry; Vermont was dry with
the exception of nine towns; California was half
dry; 35 parishes in Louisiana were dry; 18 coun
ties in Maryland were dry; two-fifths of
Massachusetts was dry.
More than three-fourths of the country was
already dry when the federal amendment was
submitted. Did the people of these states and
districts decide for themselves, or was prohibi
tion forced on thenj by political bosses? Ac
ceptance by the republicans of prohibition as a
question settled rests on the record made by the
voters of the United States, who had dealt with
the liquor issue in open elections and had voted
against the traffic.
Casting Slurs on Heroism.
Irvin S. Cobb, entertainer of several million
people, has undertaken to do to some of the
heroes of literature what Charles Lamb did to
a lot of proverbs that were unquestioned until
his iconoclasm shattered them. His first exploit
is to talk alt the heroism out of the boy who
stood on the burning deck whence all but he
had fled, "while the flame that lit the battle's
wreck shone round him o'er the dead. It has
been related how this chap, called CasaSianca
for short, stood as his father had ordered him
while the flames roll'd on. He would not go
without his father's word; and that father, faint
in death below, his voice no longer heard. Then,
as the poetess in fine frenzy said:
There came a burst of thunder sound,
The boy oh! where was he?
Ask of the winds, that far around
With fragments strewed the sea.
The boy was just simply "blowed up"
straight to a hero's heaven, as generations of
boys since who have heard and recited the poem
have firmly believed. And now comes Cobb
and calls that boy "leather-headed" and "feeble
minded" for sticking to his post under naval
orders during an engagement. He was an "in
curable," Cobb says.
Obviously the humorist of the Saturday
Evening Post is fortunate in having been
beyond military age during the late war. His
conception of duty and military obedience will
not stand comparison with that of Casabianca
even when he is richest in humorous phrase. We
await now with considerable interest Mr. Cobb's
comment on the mental condition of the six
hundred men who made the famous "Charge
of the Light Brigade," immortalized in verse
by Tennyson. They also obeyed orders in the
face of death.
Tide of Townleyism Turning.
Complete returns from the North Dakota
primary encourage the belief that the people up
there are getting weary of Townley and what
he entails. Governor Lynn J. Frazier, chief ex
ponent of the Nonpartisan cult, gets a renom
ination, but not by the 20,000 votes claimed by'
his chairman. He is winner by a scant 5,000
over the independent republican who opposed
him. This is quite a come-down from the t7,000
by which Governor Frazier was nominated two
years ago. Against this may be set the renom
ination of Thomas B. Hall, independent repub
lican for secretary of state, whom the Nonparti
sans were especially anxious to defeat. Senator
Gronna was defeated for renomination by the
Nonpartisan superintendent of the agricultural
college, who is particularly popular, but Con
gressman Baer, a Townleyite, was beaten by a
republican, and Representative Young, repub
lican, was renominated. Three laws submitted
by the Nonpartisan legislature to the referendum
were rejected by the voters. A law prohibiting
the display' of the red flag, opposed by the
Townleyites, was adopted. Altogether, it seems
as if the tide were turning in North Dakota,
where the plan of the Nonpartisan league has
had the fullest trial.
Where are the bull snakes of Kansas whose
prodigious size and amazing exploits thrilled all
the country east of the Mississippi fifty years
ago? Did the potato bugs drive them out?
Perhaps the League of Nations might give a
mandate over West Virginia, long enough to put
an end to the war in the mining region.
With the "third party" split before it "assem
bles, the prospects for its coming into power
seems to be accurately forecast.

A Self-Made Japanese.
Described, we surmise, by himself, in the Asian
Review.
His career: Mr. Totaro Haraguchi is a typ
ical self-made man. Born in a poor family, he
devoted his boyhood to self-education. Later he
become an educationist, but afterwards entered
business circles. For the last dozen years he
has been running various enterprises success
fully in Manchuria and Shantung. It is hardly
necessary to say that his career has not been
all smooth sailing. He has encountered almost
insurmountable difficulties, on more than one
occasion. Thanks, however, to his strong will,
reinforced by his remarkable assimilation with
the Chinese people, he has made himself what
he is now.
His resources: Mr. Haraguchi is now owner
of 400,000 yen, the fruit of his hard toil.
His personality: Mr. Haraguchi has a strong
sense of justice.
His opinion and desires: Mr. Haraguchi be
lieves that in the industrial development of
China the Japanese have a special advantage
because of their racial and linguistic affinity
with their neighbor nationals. At the same time
he is firmly convinced that it is necessary to co
operate with foreigners, especially Americans, if
we. are to develop the rich natural resources of
China successfully. Confident, as he is, of his
abilities, he is desirous of co-operation with
American capitalists in the successful develop
ment of trade in China.

WHEN OPTIC NERVE FAILS.
"Will you please tell me some of
the symptoms of and treatment for
pigmented retina?" P. R. writes.
"Is there any probability of its lead
ing to total or partial uiindness? Is
h necessarily progressive? Is read
ing detrimental, if glasses are- well
fitted?"
I judge you refer to pigmentary
degeneration of the retina. This dis
ease is associated with wasting and
atrophy of tho optic nerve. Blind
ness is produced quite ns much by
the wasting of' the optio nerve as by
the changes in the retinn.
It is- pregressive. Nothing can be
done in the way of medicine or sur
gery to give relief or to check the
prepress of the disease. There is no
obection to reading so long as read
ing can be done comfortably. If
glasses add to tho comfort, wear
them.
The Symptom which generally at
tracts attention is night blindness.
Posey says that persons who can
see fairly well in the day time sud
denly become blind as night comes
on. This symptom causes the sub
ject to consult an eye specialist.
When the specialist looks 'nto the
depth of the eye he notices peculiar
ly shaped pigment masses In the ret
ina. When the ophthalmoscope Is
focused on the optic nerve It is
found that most important structure
is shrunken and wasted.
The attention may be called to the
condition by the small sire of the
field of vision. A man may notice
that his eye cannot take as much
as formerly and this may cause him
to have an examination.
The disease does not often lead to
total blindness, but ijeneraUy It
causes a loss of useful vision. The
condition is a somewhat rare one.
Posey found on examination that in
4.5 per cent of the cases ot pigmen
tary degeneration of the retina the
parents of the suffo.rors were
cousins. He says:
"Analysis of a largo number of
cases of this form of retinitis shows
than consanguinity lan be traced
in about 25 per cent of tha cases.
Those figures seem sufficient proof
of the liability of concanguinous
marriages to originate serious ocu
lar disease and demonstrate the de
sirability for the prohibition of such
unions by law and of their discour
agement by society."
Davenport quotes Leb'jr as having
seen some cases where the disease
arrested itself after awhile. Daven
port says:
"An affected man or woman
J should not marry even nto -stock
without taint of retinitis. Ab( vr all
in retinitis stock cousins, especially,
if affected, should by no means
marry."

For example, the pneumococcus has

the typhus bacillus has not. Fever

pressure of 230, take much or any
milk, cheese or cream, or vegetable
8tups? (2) Would you advise yeast
as a regulator?"

1. He should live principally on
vegetables, fruit, cereal, bran and
bread. There Is no objection to
swets in abundance and 'ats in
moderation. Some dietitians no not
favor a diet In, which there is much
milk. Clabber and spur milk have
more advocates.
2. Yeast in doses of three cakes a
day acts as a regulator in many
cases.
