Just what does Governor Cox mean by hi promise to have a "real dirt farnter" as secre tary of agriculture, aside from the obvious criticism of President Wilson's appointee to that position? If the expression "real dirt farmer" means anything it means one who is engaged person ally in that occupation rather than theoretically. To own one or more farms is one thing; to be a farmer is quite another. A farmer is one who tills the soil, or conducts or manages a farm. A "real dirt" farmer means, if it means any thing, one who personally tills the soil; that is, one who plows, plants, hoes, digs, and per forms actual routine farm labor such as cultivat ing and harvesting crops. We doubt much any desire by real farmers for that sort of secretary of agriculture. We believe they much prefer a man who possesses expert knowledge of cultivation, of seeding, of farm conservation, of stock, small fruits, or chards and farm equipment; and especially a man familiar with the wise marketing of all farm products at the proper time, and of the technical and practical things which insure profits from the cultivation of the soil and the production of poultry, dairy products and live stock. To be of any practical use in the agricultural field a secretary having its interests in charge must know the farm needs of the whole United States. No "real dirt" farmer could possibly have that equipment, which may be acquired only by a highly specialized training and prac tical farm experience in widely separated parts of the country, along with continuous intensive study of soils, seeds and markets. He is neces sarily a big man who can qualify to fill the office in question. Governor Cox's expression is entirely political, not agricultural, and there fore may be dismissed as campaign bunk. Home Made West Virginia Plug. Over in West Virginia, where the tobacco ehewer "raises his own," the farmer has also Jong made his own "plug." Twenty years ago, when we first heard how he did it. trees were a pest to the West Virginia farmer. The work of clearing his land was laborious indeed. A man who acquired twenty or thirty acres of ground usually had a forest on half his acreage, while the rest was mostly hillsides. But that's another story. When the farmer's tobacco was cured, cleaned and stemmed, he cut it into squares about an inch across and sprinkled sugar! peach brandy and spice over it. Then he went out with an inch and a half augur, selected a hickory tree about eighteen inches in diameter (West Virginia was the land of hickory hooppolcs be fore steel hoops came into vogue) and bored several holes ten inches deep in it. Into these holes the prepared tobacco was tamped tight to within an inch of the bark, after which close fit ting plugs were driven with a sledge hammer uttil the tobacco was compressed to the limit. There it was allowed to remain from four to six months, when the tree was cut down and the cylinders of "eating tobacco" carefully re moved and wrapped in heavy cloths saturated v i tit licorice syrup. In two weeks this wrap ping was removed and "sweet hickory plug" was rady for use. It starts the saliva of a tobacco chewer even to think of the delectable flavor of that delicious product, which some traveler in West Virginia first heard of the other day and wrote up as a new discovery. A Wayward Prince. The suicide of Prince Joachim, youngest son of the former kaiser, and perhaps the wildest of an unfortunate family proup born to the purple, led a hectic life sta:ucd with sensuality and seisation. Divorced by his wife, this prince of the house of Hohcnzollern was true to form in extravagance, vanity, irresponsibility. When royalty tumbled to ruin in Potsdam he tumbled with, squandered what resources he had left and finally died by his own hand. No young American, born intelligent and with clean blood in his veins, has cause to envy any scion of royalty abroad. Indeed, all other men should be thankful that the tainted blood of the Hohenxollerns does not run in their veins. A Cool Summer. We have official authority that this is a cool summer for Omaha, although the temperature for the year to date shows a daily average excess of one degree. To this is added the comforting fact that our rainfall is six inches under nor mal, which gives a reasonable expectation of rains to further alleviate the temperatures during the remaining forty days of the celendar summer. ) And with it all Omaha has reason to be thankful for the low humidity which makes high temperatures so much more tolerable. On the Wane. The waning of the democratic national cam paign began en Sunday, July 18, when it be came known that the candidate nominated to Vtad the democratic party gently away from voices in the air and visions on the horizon, had been taken up into an exceeding high place and shewn the glory of internationalism. And thereupon he fell down and worshipped super government, and began to serve it instead of hit own nation. And that morning and the evening thereof yni Um fceginnipg of the end of Cox, HARDING'S MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE. In accepting the nomination of the repub lican party as its candidate for the presidency of the United States, Warren G. Harding has completely vindicated the judgment of the dele gates to the Chicago convention, if such vindi cation were needed. He makes plain that the big outstanding issue is to be opposition to Wilsonism in all its forms, a return to consti tutional instead of one-man government, and the maintenance of the independence and dig nity of the republic, with the safety of all its citizens. It is no fine array of rhetorical ele gancies, no impassioned flight of fulminating oratory, no alluring array of specious promises or glittering generalities that Senator Harding presents. Rather, it is the carefully consid ered, patiently worded pledge of a man who realizes and appreciates the responsibility that is to be his when elected. In simple words and phrases whose sincerity carries convic tion, he has outlined the issues and set forth his conception of the duties, the privileges and the opportunities of the high office of chief magistrate of the greatest republic in the world's history. Greatest of emphasis is laid on the need of restoring as rapidly and completely as pos sible the functions of the Constitution of the. United States and the government thereunder established. This is what is contained in his reference to the house of representatives and the senate. It does not mean that the execu tive is to be dominated by congress, but that he is to regard with due respect he provisions of the Constitution, and to exact a similar regard from other branches ol ihe government. The delayed peace is discussed calmly and dispassionately, with an utter absence of high falutin rhodomontade. No mention is made of the world's broken or bleeding heart, but a very frank statement of purpose to restore peace without delay on such basis as will main tain the independence of the United States and the control of its domestic affairs, including the right of declaring war, in the hands of the people and their representatives. The meaning of these words cannot be misconstrued: We do not mean to hold aloof. We dp 1 not mean to shun a single responsibility of this republic to world civilization. There is no hate in the American heart. We have no envy, no suspicion, no aversion for any people in the world. . . We believe the unspeakable sorrows, the immeasurable sac rifices, the awakened convictions and the aspiring conscience of human kind must com mit the nations of the world to a new and better relationship. It need not be discussed now what motives plunged the world into war; it need not be inquired whether we asked the sons of this republic to defend our national rights, as I believe we did, or to purge the old world of the accumulated ills of rivalry and greed; the sacrifices will be in vain if we cannot acclaim a new order, with added security to civilization and peace maintained. What sort of administration he proposes may be judged from the definite program he outlines: I believe the budget system will effect a necessary, helpful reformation, and reveal business methods to government business. I believe federal departments should be made more business-like and send back to productive effort thousands of federal em ployes, who are either duplicating work or not essential at all. I believe in the protective tariff policy and know we will be calling for its saving Ameri canism again. Here is a specific promise on which busi ness men can rely. Senator Harding is equally specific in his promise to labor. Recognizing the doctrine of collective bargaining, the right of workers to organize unions and to strike, he also upholds the public's right to continu ous service of governmental agencies and the necessity of applying the rule to such indus tries as the railroads, whose function is for the public rather than private benefit. The equal ity of all workers tinder the law is also to be maintained, and no advantage given to groups of any kind. In these pledges, supported well by logic and reason, is contained a policy that will restore health to American industry and commerce, simply because it restores the health', uncon trolled competition which is essentially neces sary to real growth and susbstantial develop ment. Governmental interference with private undertakings that do not menace the well-being of the people or transcend the law is not to be tolerated. Careful perusal of the speech of acceptance is recommended, as it will be of service in understanding much that is certain to be said and written as the campaign progresses. Sena- I tor Harding has neither evaded nor avoided any of the issues, Hkit has frankly declared his position on all. His language is simple and direct, -devoid of flourish or elaborate ornamen tation, his reasoning is cogent and logical and his conclusions plain and easily understood. The speech will not be preserved for any catch phrase it contains, but because of its sound Americanism. Patriotic citizens can well form behind a man who speaks the language of the plain people, and whose appeal is to their patri otism, their common sense and their duty to God, their country and themselves. Too Much Doherty. Mr. Henry L. Doherty, head of big financial interests centering in Wall Street, and a man of unusual capacity for( large financial affairs, has organized his1 employes into a "fraternity" y-clept the "Doherty Men's Fraternity." Con spicuous among its benign purposes is that of the "perpetuation of, the business policy and philosophy of Henry L. Doherty." Once a year, on the birth anniversary of H. L. D. there is a celebration by all the branches of the Do herty organization of the first generation of "Doherty men," who plant trees in honor, of Doherty under which future generations of Doherty men may "pay reverent tribute to him." The foregoing quotations are from an elabor ately printed magazine of a hundred pages adorned by two portraits of Mr. Doherty and largely devoted to his glorification. It is a new departure in commercial celebration of the virtues of a living man, and as such an offense to good taste. The employes of Mr. Doherty may plant trees in honor of his achievements and make speeches flattering the gentleman's philosophy, whatever it may be, but we utterly refuse to assume an attitude of reverence toward him until bankers' shares get well up in the 40's. Sir Thomas says he is glad that Resolute won on Wednesday, but he may not be so elated when the sun goes down this evening. No sign of wavering is what Senator Hard ing says. The Electoral College Thomas F. Healey in the Philadelphia Ledger. The selection of presidential electors in Pennsylvania and the eagerness of the respect ive party managers in seeking the services of men of wide prominence despite the relatively minor roles which they ultimately play in the great national contest directs attention to a re quirement of the constitution, of which the gen eral voting public has little knowledge, either of its origin or its purposes. That is the "double-election" system of choosing a president of the United States. It is a system which ever since the day of Jeffer son has been observed in form only and is so little reckoned with by the average voter that the men of prominence who comprise the electoral college scarcely receive the slightest consideration from the voter when he casts his ballot for the presidential candidate of his ehoice. Nevertheless the party managers nuke a careful search for men whose names will add dignity and weight to the ticket, men of wide reputation not only in the commonwealth but in the nation at large. Some of these men have served repeatedly, notwithstanding that from the day of their selection until they cast their ballots they received only scant attention either from the press or the voters. Perhaps no other section of the constitution was regarded with more cfwnplacency by the men who proposed it than this method of choos ing a chief magistrate, and yet they were soon to see it become only a nominal factor in the choice of a president. There was no dispute about the first two elections because everybody was for Washington, but almost immediately thereafter contests were conducted on straight party lines and have continued to be so con ducted. The result has been that electors are pledged to party action, subordinating their in dependence to the will of a majority of their party. The records of Pennsylvania, for in stance, contain no case of electors ever having failed to cast their vote for a man other than the party nominee. There is not to be found any instance in the history of the country when a sufficient number of votes were cast in the electoral college to upset the will of the people as expressed by popular vote at the polls. In the 1796 election scattering votes were cast, but Adams and Jefferson were the only prominent candidates before the country, and they re ceived the majority of the electoral votes of their parties. It is because the electors have become a mere cog in the election machinery and are chosen under a pledge of honor to vote for a particular candidate that they assume so littlf prominence in the presidential election. Except, as was said, that men of high qualification and attainments add prominence and dignity to the party ticket, their qualifications amount to little in the contest. But the system itself has a very decided effect upon the election. In effect, it makes the choice of a president an election by states. a consequence unforeseen by its original pro ponents. The system of choosing electors by a "general ticket" means that the entire elec toral vote of that state will be thrown into the scale of one candidate. Should the republican list be carried in Pennsylvania, it will be car ried in full, and this means that the electoral vote of this state will be secured for Mr. Har ding and the thousands of votes given Mr. Cox, the democratic nominee, will be utterly lost, for they cannot under the electoral system go to swell the total received by Mr. Cox in a safely democratic state. Thus it comes about that we speak of "minority presidents," execu tives who received a minority of the popular vote in the nation, but a majority of the elec toral votes of the states. Mr. Hamilton and his colleagues in the con stitutional convention looked forward with a great deal of fear to unwise selections if the business of choosing a president were placed in the hands of the people at large. Respecting the presidency they entertained the same idea as that which influenced them to write into the constitution a provision that the senate should be elected by the selected representatives of the people in the state legislatures. Look ing back upon these things in the light of mod ern thought it is apparent that Hamilton's fears were inspired by his distrust of popular judg ment, and that the systems be proposed and had written into the constitution were essen tially undemocratic features of a document which was propounded as the bulwark of de mocracy. The disposition which the nation has made of both provisions justified such a con clusion. In having the people choose electors who in Uirn would elect the president Mr. Hamilton sought to oppose "cabal, intrigue and corrup tion." He even saw the possibility of foreign intrigue in the selection of our presidents by powers anxious to gain improper ascendancy in the councils of this nation. For the purpose of avoiding such contingencies it was provided that no public servant of the government could fill the post of elector, but that men freee of all entangling alliances and only those not in a situation that might be construed as one of influence with the president while in office should be chosen. What men of the Hamilton group did not foresee was the rapid growth of parties and the consequent disappearance of independent choice upon the part of the electors. Such free dom and discretion vanished as early as the fourth election, for it was felt that the time had come when national issues should be de cided, not by a picked group, but by the na tion. This idea has progressed, until today the electors are not only selected by the active party managers, but are approved by the re spective candidates themselves for the purpose, undoubtedly, of preventing the slightest pos sibility of any but party action. The Eskimo Heaven The Old Angakok, Masaitsiak,, said: You Kablunait (white men) believe that the great good Spirit is a male being, we Innult believe that the great good Spirit is a female. Her abode is down in the bowels of the earth where it is nice and warm, and to her the souls of all good people go after death. "Those of us who in this present life are not as good as we ought to be, must in the next life be satisfied with the upper regions. But it is very cold up there," and he pointed toward the sky, "and none of us wish to go . there." When told that white people believed that the upper regions is the place of reward, and that the warm place down below is only for bad people, he shook his head. "Even white people may sometimes be mis taken," he said, "and any sensible Eskimo would think that he got quite enough of cold weather in this life and that the good Spirit could not possibly give him any better reward for good conduct than a warmer existence in the next." World Outlook. Harding is Human Governor Harding is from President McKin ley's state. He posseses many cf the character istics of that much beloved martyr. During his occupancy of the White House we shall have, not an autocratic, one-man-power administra tion, keeping itself so far aloof from the people as to be out of touch with popular sentiment, and defiant of it, but responsibe, co-operative, accessible and capable of rccogniznig the merits of views not altogether in harmony with his own. What is promised, therefore, in the persons of the candidates for both the presidency and the vice presidency is a dignified, efficient, re sponsive administration, conducted along those lines which in the past have given assurance to the people of tranquility, prosperity, the main tenance of law and order, and the conditions es sential for the betterment of society, the proper adjustment of social problems, industrial rela tions and international affairs.

At Jefferson Medical college, Miller, Bergelm, Itehruss and Hawk continue their Investigations of di gestion, making use of healthy young men as subjects and using foods prepared for the tanie and served as foods are on the ordinary home tahle. They have devised several methods which help them greatly In their work. ' For Instance, they have a ther mometer which, having been swal lowed, records what happens when a person eats Ice cream, or hot oat meal. They have a stomach pump that takes away a man's breakfast as expeditiously as ho stows It away. In addition, they employ the usual mothods of lighting up the stomach as well as testing its contents chemically and otherwise. The two latest reports appearing In the American Journal of Vhysio logy are of a series which have thrown light on many disputed questions about foods. One of these two is given over to a study of the effect of thought and emotion on di gestion. Their results are entirely in accord with those of the Russian, Pawlow, since confirmed by several others. The odor and appearance of good food Is a help in digestion. On the other hand, food which repels the senses is digested with difficulty. For instance, when a man situ down to a beautifully set table and eats food which srm-fis good and tastes good his digestive organs start out with their best runt forward Heading a newspaper with the meal does not retard digestion, rlcasant conversation and agreeable compan ions help fill in the picture. On the other hand, if a man sits down to a meal of Chinese eggs his stomach balks unless he has trained himself to like Chinese eggs, lim burger cheese, and otner high foods. Just now we will be interested in the study of coffee, tea, and cocoa. They do not find that coffee was diftlcult to digest. Drinking corcee did not lessen the secretion of gas tric juice. The effect of coffee 'on the production of acid by the stom ach was not very different from that due to drinking a like quantity 01 water. The production of acidity was somewhat delayed, but not much. Peptic digestion, another im portant work of the stomach, also was somewhat interfered with, but not much. The time required for the stomach to finish its work and empty its contents was not material ly lengthened. The conclusion Is that coffee and tea. as well, are somewhat hard to digest, but that most of the bad reputation which they have in this direction is not deserved. When It comes to the constitutional effects the indictment was more severs. Coffee stimulated the pulse. In one case it went from 150 to 160. It pro duced nervousness, sweating, trem ors, headache, dizziness and sleep lessness. The conclusion is that coffee and tea are in no wise to be considered as beverages to be used in an un restricted manner. The men experi mented on were not coffee fiends. In fact, some of them were not ac customed to drinking coffee at all. The dose given was large. It was about one quart Other scientific studies of coffee alluded to were one in the London Lancet in 1911 and one by Benzoldt in the German Archive for Clinical Medicine for X893.

Omaha, July 19 To the Editor of The Bee: Under the title of "The Faded Coat of Blue." the World lit raid, In its Issue of the ISth re marks editorially: "With the pass ing of tho civil war veterans also pusses the faded coat of blue . . . Like the men who in their prime wore them, they have mouldered back to Mother Earth not forgot ten, but gone. In pluce of the faded coat of blue has come the olive drab, a garment the world's great heroes wore on native and foreign soil while defending America's honor." I have never been able to quite satisfy myself as to what motive prompted "the powers that be" to discard the national color which will ever remain sacred to the mem ory of tho true patriots, In order to muke room for this nonattractive olive drab production. There can never bo a grander display of genu lnu patriotism than was exhibited by "the boys who wore the blue" in support of national solidarity and supremacy on the sanguinary fields of Antieta-m, Gettysburg and Chicka mauga. Can there be any- reason able doubt, that every mother's son of those Immortal heroes would have a thousand times preferred to cling; to the uniform which his fath er had aided in rendering eternally glorious, had they boen consulted at the time of entrance into the late war? Nor Is there less doubt that tlie overwhelming preponderance of sentiment among the loynl poople of thn country would have boen found decidedly antagonistic to the wretch ed attempt at compromise between the blue and the gray, had inquiry been made. I frankly confess the fact that it has sometimes been dif ficult for me to keep down the sus picion that the spirit which prompt ed the substitution of the khaki for the blue was a radically different one from that which inspired the ever memorable utterance of Gen. John A. Dix at the outbreak of tho civil war: "If any man attempts to pull down the United States flag, shoot him on the spot." CYRUS D. BELL. Note by Editor: As a matter of fact, the khaki was adopted as the tltld uniform of the United States army when we went to war with Spain in 1S98. It was chosen after considerable experimentation be cause It served tlie military object of blending with the terrain and therefore becoming "invisible" at tho shortest distance. Tests made over a long period and uiider many dif ferent conditions established this fact. It was from no consideration of sentiment, but as a practical siep In military science that the color of the uniform was changed. The "O. D." Is an Improvement on the khaki in some respects.
