Conies now Senator King of Ijtah, one of the group of democrats who voted for the Lodge reservations, with the announcement that he is for Candidate Cox, whom he' finds satis factory in all regards. Senator King also vouch safes the information that Governor Cox will please all other democrats. Let us examine the '" situation. .., William Jennings Bryan yet remains a demo crat, according to his own admission, but he frankly says he has not yet.made up.his mind how he will vote in November. Hoke Smith of Georgia is also a democrat, and, like Senator King, voted"for the Treaty of Vcrsailes with reservations. For this he was ruthlessly steam-rollered at San Francisco, where delegates chosen by a rump convention in Georgia were seated because they were "reg ular" administration supporters. Does anyone think Hoke Smith. is ''satisfied?" ' , Charles Spalding Thomas of Colorado is one of the towering men on the democratic side of the senate. He opposed the treaty, with or with out reservations. It is likely that he is satisfied with a candidate who publicly proclaims he will redeem every promise made by the president, including the League of Nations and the manda tory for Armenia? ' Reed of Missouri, Gore of Oklahoma, Walsh of Massachusetts, Shields of Tennessee, Ashurst . of Arizona, Phelan of California, Chamberlain of Oregon, to name only a few of the democratic senators who do not stand in the sunlight of White House approval, will probably smile as they note the pledge made for them by the junior senator from Utah. Twenty-three democratic senators voted for ;the treaty with the Lodge reservations; three of the others are opposed to the treaty in any form. Ten of this group are before the voters; asking re-election. Is it likely that these men, who have sturdily upheld thejndependente of 'the United States and the constitutional func tion of the senate, arc now going to turn , "cuckoo" and stultify themselves by meekly ac cepting a candidate who is pledged to do all ' that Woedrow Wilson promised? , I We confidently expect that each of these democrats will maintain his standing in his par-' ty, striving, sincerely for election, but when they .see themselves being borne dowh by the weight , Of administration unpopularity or disfavor, they " will adopt some reservations of their own the i effect of which will be felt by Candidate Cox " on election day. Consolidated Schools in Nebraska. The supreme court has just cleared the way for a little more prepress in Nebraska's edu cational system, by holding the consolidation law valid, despite certain irregularities alleged in connection with its passage. The, Nebraska " law is not, perhaps, perfect and may be improved in some details by amendment, but it contains ' tlie germ of great service to the public school , system of the state. By uniting districts on properly considered terms, it is possible to es tablish plants to serve the amalgamated schools far better than can be done by the independent ; organizations. Advanced methods of education are brought to pupils who otherwise must be served by outgrown practices of the past. Where I consolidationShas beerr properly applied, it has : resulted in great improvement, in the work of the ; schools. Modern buildings, properly equipped, with a competent force of , teachers take the place of the inadequate plants of the smaller units, and the children get all the admitted ad ; vantages of city school methods with little or no , added cost to the taxpayers. Schools are bound . to cost more in the future than they have in the past, because teachers must be paid better wages, and other things, that enter into the expense , bill, come higher, but this is not affected by the scrviceNthat lies within the consolidated school idea. . Nebraska should keep abreast the ' forward-movement 'in education, and this can " be done by iot rejecting anything that has been ; found to work out well. Old Timers Back to the Farm. A Chicago newspaper correspondent finds - in the corn-producing section of the Sucker state a general movement of the "retired" farmers back to their rich, broad acres. . Crops are be- ing grown by men who had given up the arduous toii of tilling the soft, and the 'prospect for a bumper yield is greatly improved by the pres ence of these experts. No doubt exists that this correspondent is right, but the condition is not peculiar to Illinois, nor did it start with the shortage of help this year. When America went into the war thousands of lusty young men were called from the farms to the army, but this , did not lessen the demand for food. The hun : gry world called for more, and no chapter of all the, war history, is more brilliant than that which-jecords what the fanners achieved. And C kow wu this made possible? Solely by the re- eponse of the men who had grorn old in the industry, and who had withdrawn for a little ' rest before journeying on to the world beyond. They gave up the life of ease they had sought ." in town, went back to the farm, and with old time vigor applied themselves to inducing grain and grass to. grow that the world1 might be v" fed and the war won. When peace came the "- demand for , food was not lessened, but the youth who had marched away with the colors V showed little inclination to go back to the farm. This put it squarely up to those who had kept the bins filled while the war was on, and their answer is noted 'in; the abundant harvest now being garnered. Not everjr scVe has been Jtilled, for there is more? thiuv the ilimited number of farmers can attend -to, but ifCtheicquntry has anything to eat' next winter,' it wilt-be because the veteran farmers of America heard" the" call and went back to the farms. A WoBwr.'j Trttnri. f' , Something is wrong whhthe woman' who does not love beautiful things particularly ex quisite articles for personal, adornment. Men have a fondness for fine garments in thr earlier years, but usually they grow careless of their attire in their quest of bigger and more, impor tant things. A man is content if able to have anything he may desire without having the thing itself. A woman always wants it whether able to possess it or not. We can, therefore, participate '" with Miss Margaret Wilson in her happiness, over the pos session of an embroidered gown described as "a supreme accomplishment of a Parisian needlewoman. It is a one-piece slip, embroider ed and so filled in with thread lace insets, that its homespun linen body is entirely covered. Washington has seen it several times. The Spur recalls a similar garment made early in the Eighteenth century and owned by Betsy Patterson, who became Mme. Jerome Bonaparte. It was so cherished that it was still fit for wear during the Roosevelt administration, and is still intact. ' In every woman's heart is planted love for some bit of finery which has come into her pos session and which she cares for tenderly as a treasure, which indeed it is, to her. No mat ter how humble her station in life, nor how ex alted, there is always something beautiful in her effects which she loves and preserves as long as she lives as a precious possession. It ranks in her heart of hearts with the lock of hair from the head of one of her babies, called early to the grave, or with the love letters of a husband gone before. This sentiment jn the heart of woman is one of her finest traits. It keeps her alive to all the beautiful things of life to romance, to tender memorie?, to her girlhood. Here and there, will be found a woman who, has been robbed of her birthright to the possession of some such object, and she never ceases to mourn her loss. , . High Cost of Railroading Throwing Out Dead Wood. Twelve thousand employes of the Pennsyl vania railroad, whose wages amount to $15,000, 000 a year, are to be discharged in the eastern region alone, as a necessary economy. Doubt less other roads will follow suit, fof it is notor ious that the payrolls of all the roads were greatly increased when Mr. McAdoo took charge of them and began their direction with politics in the back of his head. " , It has also been announced that competent and industrious new employes will not be dis missed irf' order to retain inefficient old ones. The company purposes to retain their best men regardless of organization demands. An official of the road says: v " The time has come for men to go, to, work. Some have merely held jobs since j the government took over the operating? of the roads. 1 .V The elimination of political considerations, one of the commonest of which is loafing on the job, from the railroad business will be a good thing for the roads and for shippers. . ,; Haidy To Hare About. Nine-tenths of man's efforts from cradle to grave are put forth for one thing pos session of gold. Colorado Springs Tele graph. Where can one find a pleasanter plaything or more trustworthy servant? It talks when talkinz counts, commands both necessities and luxuries, aid brings dignity and authority to its possessor. It is stored energy.t the livexwjre that never fails, the badge of industry and thrift, the one guarantee that needs no man's endorse ment. - ' . ' . !. But where does that "nine-tenths" stuff come from in these piping times when' six or eight hours' efforts corral enough gold to keep a man busy all the rest of the day saving or spending it? Expenditure rather than accumulation, has been first inhe thoughts for the past few years. Col House Starts the Cat Back.' ; . The. European correspondence of Col. House, faitliful friend and "alter ego" of the president at the Peace Conference, confirms the wisdom of the 39 republican senators, who signed' the declaration that peace making was the first busi ness of the conference, if international affairs were to be reorganized successfully. t Wilson was set against an early peace thatf otherwise would have come before Christmas, 1918. He has kept us out of peace from that time on because stubbornly bent on having ex actly his own way about it. But it may all be for the best at that, because next year the whole democratic party, from Cox down will be reviling him because he insured them "defeat without peace." 1 An Unhappy Comparison. The political situation confronting Presi dent Wilson and Governor Cox when they met at the White House on Sunday resem bled that which Abraham Lincoln ftced in 1864, when so profound was the depression that Mr. Lincoln himself despaired of suc cess at the polish New York World. With this fundamental difference? Mr. Lin-1 coin was fighting for the Union and undivided nationality of the United States, whereas "Mr. Wilson and Gov. Cox are for a league of na tions that i would internationalize the world and subject the United States to a supergovernmeni of European politicians. t ' Democratic Position Definite. ' ' The one outstanding feature. of the political situation at present is the fact that Governor Cox's election would mean a continuation .for four years more of President Wilson's policies. Democratic newspapers duly emphasize the harmony between Wilson and Cox testified to by both of those gentlemen after their Sunday conference. United in the league they are not divided in their wetness. If, Senator' ; Harding intends coming to Omaha at all1, he will find Ak-Sar-Ben time just about right, and his welcome will be none the less hearty. "; ;'v-." ;. . .-'' v : .... v vr, l::': Suggestions to speeders: Drive your car today so that you can drive it again tomorrow. The calendar does not call for it, but this is dog day weather, just the same From the Railway Age. The public knows that the prices of almost H., the things it buys have advanced greatly 'within,. recent years. It apparently does not rjeahie that the prices of most 6f the things that enter into the cost of living of the railways have increased much more in proportion than the prices of commodities in general, but this is a fact, and it is the principal reason why such large advances in rates are necessary. The public knows pretty -well how much the railroad payroll has been increased. Here are a few illustrations of typical increases in the prices of things that railways have to buy: A locomotive which in 1914 cost $27,876 will now cost $75,750,' an increase of 171 per cent In 1914 a railway had to pay only about 5 per cent interest on the money it invested in a lo comotive, while now it must pay about 7 1-2 per cent. Therefore its interest charges on a locomotive bought now will be about $5,681 a year, an increase in fixed charges of 310 per cent. ' An average "box car bought in 1914 cost about $1,000, while now it would cost about $3,000, an increase of 200 per cent. The interest on the investment in the car in 1914 would have been about $50 a year, whilt now it would be about $225 a year, an increase of 350 per cent. The foregoing statistics illustrate the ad vances which have occurred in the prices of equipment and in the interest that must be paid on the investment in it. The increases in the cost of constructing track and bridges have not been so great but they have been verv large. In 1915 a 90 foot through girder bridge could be bought and installed not including masonry for $6,427. It would not cost $13,117, an increase of 135 per cent. These figures arc based ujion records of the actual expenditures of a certain road. Ia 1915 this road paid $12,550 per mile for merely the rail, track fastenings, ties and. bal last used in the construction of a new main track. The same materials would now cost $26,234. an increase of 110 per cent. For like classes of materials used in building a mile of side track, including two main track turnouts, this road in 1915, paid $8,620. The same materials would now cost $16,904 an increase of 96 per cent. One important cause of the increase in rail way expenses is the advance in the prices of all commodities 1 and therefore in the amounts that the railways have to pay for loss and dam age to freight. A carload of apples in 1909 was worth $900, while today it is worth $2,300, an in crease of 155 per cent. In 1909 the freight rev enue on a carload of apples from Yakima, Wash., to St. Paul was $255, while today it is $319.50, an increase of only 25 per cent. If a railroad paid a claim for the complete loss of a carload of apples in 1909, it took the freight revenue from three and a half carloads of apples, while now it would take the freight revenue from seven carloads. A certain railway recently was presented a claim for $4,511 for the loss of a carload of beef. The high value of the beef was of course principally due to the increases in prices within recent years. The freight earnings from th shipment were $113.40. Therefore, if the rail way has to pay the entire claim it will take the revenue from forty similar carloads of freight an entire trainload. , There is hardly a branch of railroad operation in which unit costs have not increased 100 to 300 per cent within the last five years." - y . . : - - How Our Language Grows New words are derived from all sorts of sources; To bluff, for example, which began life as a necessary technical term in poker, spread into general use in the United States, crossed the western ocean and established it lelf in Great Britain and has now crossed the English channel and forced itself into French and Italian and German. Perhaps i to pass the buck, having a similar origin, will in time attain to a similar world-wide acceptance. To spoof, a Briticism originating in the sporting circles of London, bids fair-to 'be adopted in New York, although its attractiveness is as slight as its utility. Equally unnecessary is forelady, which is intended to be a more ele gant appellation for a forewomen and which seems to presage a companion foregentle man or would it be foregent? In another new word which we owe also to tha busy marts of trade we can - note, again tha abil ity of our language to supply itself easily with a term needed for immediate use. We have long , been familiar with salesman and saleswoman even, alas, with saleslady, and the latest member of the family to whom we have been introduced is salesperson, ' a name intended toapply to an employe of either sex. These verbal novelties we have made out of our stock, so to speak; and at the same time we have kept on taking over terms from other tongues,' in accord with our ancient cus tom, as a result of which the words of for eign origin of our every-day speech (So a his torian of our language has asserted) "far out number those of old English origin." And upon these alien vocables we have worked our will in our own fashion. We have taken two Latin words, per centum, cut the second syl lable to get per cent and then welted. them together with an English termination to give us percentage. We have taken risque and made it risky, and we are in the process or taking brisque and making it brusk; and this is as it should be, since a foreign word which keeps its foreign pronunciation or its foreign rpelhng is always a menace to the purity ot, Knglish. The alien words we admit to citi-l renship in our language ought always to re nounce their foreign allegiance. A term from .-mother tongue is more easily made to teel itself at home in our vocabulary when its nellintr does not call attention to its original (uitiiii9iiaivaa wvf i vv ess tuav vaivivi ia auu automat, as names for special kinds of res-' taurant, slipped into general use without ex citing general notice.

OX EVEN BELIEVED RASPUTIN! f A correspondent asks whether the late czarina spoke with authority when in her letters to tha late czar she wrote aumost daily of fluctua tions in the size of her heart. He suggests that many people will as sume that she knew what she was talking about, and the error should be corrected if her statement was erroneous. , . It will be remembered that in hen letters there occurred such state ments as "My heart was enlarged today, so I stayed in bed," "My heart is enlarged this morning and I will send for Botkin," and "My heart was smaller today." The impression given was that her heart dilated or shrunk, and that she was able to judge of its size herself in some mysterious way. In this she was in error. The heart is S hollow muscle or muscles surrounding a group of four cavities.. It changes size and shape with every heartbeat, some 7(V times a minute, but this is not what the czarina had in mind. She thought her heart was larger than normal at times and larger on some days than others. She was able to guess the size of her own heart as it changed from day to day. The heart does hypertropfhy or di late, but the change takes place gradually. In most cases marked change requires weeks or months. Without an X-ray no one except a very skillful physician can determine moderate changes in the size of the heart, and he is wrong almost as often as he- is right. 1 - The czarina may have had heart trouble, but at that her statements as to daqy fluctuation in the size of her heart were based on vain imagin ings. The indications are that the czarina was a neurasthenic. The evidence is as follows: She evidently "watched" her heart closely and built a line of symptoms and a course of behavior on her ob servations plus her imaginings. She was continually taking medi cine of one sort or another for one ailment or another. She referred to kidney trouble about as she did to heart trouble. The basis of sup posed kidney trouble was pain in the back. Kidney trouble does fc not cause pain in the back as a rule, and pain in the back is a symptom of other common troubles, such as lum bago. t - - - There were still other evidences contained in her letters showing that the czarina was a neurasthenic. She was exceedingly suggestible. Eas putin influenced her as though she was a child. Her attitudf toward public questions, public men, and even her husband, was determined by Rasputin. Aina, and even others, were able to influence her as they pleased. ' . Although a good 'woman, jthe czarina was in no sense a great monarch or a great woman. She was domineering, as small minds fre quently are. Her mind was of the type out of which neurasthenia is prone to develop. . . ' -Old Stuff. There are persons who constantly clamor. They complain of oppression, speculation and pernicious influence of accumulated wealth. They cry out loudly against all banks and corpora tions and ail means by which small capitalists become united in order to produce important and beneficial results. They carry on mad hos tility against all established institutions. They would choke the fountain of industry ami dry all streams. In a country of unbounded liberty, they clamor against oppression. In a country of perfect equality, they would move heaven and earth against privilege and monopoly. In a country where property is more evenly divided than anywhere else, they rend the air shouting agrarian doctrines. In a country where wages of labor are high beyond parallel, they would teach the laborer that he is but an oppressed slave. Daniel Webster, in the Senate in 1833. Rural Fire Department An automobile equipped, with buckets, shov els, and, a 30-gallon tank full of fire-extinguishing chemicals, last .summer paid for itself many times pver in service rendered to grain farmers living about a small western town, according to Popular Mechanics Magazine. As each farmer has a telephone, the first sign of a fire in a grain field resulted in a request for the chemical truck. The Touch of Nature..

To the Editor of The Bee: A few days ago I read an editorial in the Omaha Bee about Adriatic problems. . .Let me say a few words about this situation.

I mean those who are now under Italian ' government along the Adriatic coast. Those -who know the situation there would realize with me that it would hot be peace there till they have won independence. - Black clouds gather along the Adriatic, and sooner or later they will burst and bring an other war, war for justice, to which is entitled every nation on the earth. . - . i F. K. "America First." Grand Island, "Neb., July 23. To the Editor of The Bee: "Pass the buck," the old army slang, has taken its course into civilian life. Used not only to shake his own re sponsibility, but also that of nation. Every one of our (in late war) allied nations is in fighting spirit once more. The league of nations has become merely a "scrap of paper" for European countries. America is still at war from the last time. France, England and Greece are bat tling on Macedonia . or ' Turkey. Italy is engaged in destroying Jugo slavia; Poland accepts defeat from bolshevik Russia; while Spa, Bel gium, is the battlefield of oratory prestige. Even Japan finds itself in the self-styled protector role of the league of nations in China. What has become of the peaceful mission of the league of nations? What of Mr. Wilson's 14 pomts? All this happens in 18 months after the ar mistice was signed, and unfortunately for the democratic party in a time when it is seeking re-election ,But I hope that this time we elect a man who doesn't believe in amateur work, a man whose soul and heart is for our country, which existed 144 years as a nation respected at home as well as in. foreign lands, and didn't need to tako the .opinion of ono "amateur" man. If we look up the record in history In behalf of our diplomatic progress in the last eight years it makes a man laugh, not be cause it is so humorous, but because wo got by with soch amateur stuff.
