One thousand silver dollars tied up in a bag have been in the Sub-Treasury, at New York since October, 1891 almost 29 years. They have been idle dollars, loafing all through the years without an ounce of influence in the won derful development of commerce and wealth during the past three decades. Now they have gone to a San Francisco bank that will put them to work, which figures that if they had been compounding interest all that time, there would now be $3,000 instead of $1,000. That shows what money alone will do when pushed out to make a living for itself. But its own bare earnings are a mere trifle compared to what it will do with the brains of an industrious, prudent man to direct its activity. It is no ex aggeration to say that under such guidance the bag of 1.000 dollars might easily have cleaned up $15,000 in the 29 years, after paying its taxes and fair proportion of overhead expenses. Men get rich promoting and backing the money they own. Nine well-to-do men out oi ten owe as much to the work their money has done for them, as to their own industry. Oppor tunity is always shaking hands with money. It is inevitable that the young man who starts $1,000 earning for him this year, another thou sand next year, and so on, and keeps them busy for twenty years, along with the extra thousands sure to come, will wax rich. All he has to do is to save them and direct them prudently. The result never fails. 'Why is it, then that after 30 years so many men who have earned many thousands are not rich? It is because they have spent instead of saving, have handled their earnings recklessly, or have been too impatient and have given up the chase. A fortune grows under laws just as cer tain as a crop of wheat or corn. A crop of wheat requires so many months from seed time to harvest. So does a crop of money. A farmer who would go into schemes to raise a wheat crop In a month would surely lose out. Just so it is with the man who tries to make a fortune grow from 1,000 or 5,000 dollars in a few months. He usually loses both seed and fortune. Patience with the laws of accumulation is as necessary as with the laws of grain crops, or of business expansion. The man who tries to "beat" those laws beats himself. The only sure way is the safe way. With the sure way so inevitably certain, why do so many men destroy their prospects by their impatience? When the Pay Check Follows the Wedding. A fair petitioner for absolute divorce informs , the local court she was delirious with love when ' she espoused the gent from whom she now asks to be divided. Her delirium continued for seven weeks, during which time she faithfully carried home her pay check and turned it over intact to her lord and master, who persisted in giving an imitation of the lily, in that he neither toiled nor span. About the end of the seventh week note the potency of the mystic number some thing snapped, and she came out of her trance, only to learn she had drawn a blank. Now she is seeking such relief as the court may grant her, particularly immunity as to the pay check, which she continues to draw with regularity and the proceeds of which she devotes to her own uses. All this may seem tinged with humor to any body but the girl herself, who confesses her mis take. Her romance is blighted. No matter un der what circumstances she fell in with the man, she felt herself transported by th impulse of love, and gave herself to him freely. Had he been less sordid, endowed with more of the at trbiute of manhood, he might have steered the venture to what .is admittedly the most desirable 'fit alt ports, that of happy, successful marriage. It seems, though, he could not appreciate the trust of a woman, and felt interest only in the wages she earned. Fortunately for her, she came to in good season, and, if the court will but hear her plea, she will be' well rid of an incubus. The lesson of this is not hard to discern. Hasty marriage often leads to disappointment if not to actual disaster, and the only place where the pay check properly follows the wedding is when the husband takes it home and gives it to the wife to look after. Beginning to See the Light Our democratic friends look with unkind feel ings upon the fact that Mr. Taft, Senator Borah, Senator Lodge, Senator Johnson. Governor Lowden, General Wood and all elements in the republican arty are united in its support. Their comments on the fact disclose irritation. In their own party they see Mr. Bryan dubi ous about Governor 1 Cox, Senator Reed tight lipped after hearing the candidate's speech of acceptance, with fifteen or twenty other demo cratic senators uncertain where their duty lies, while the south is rent by violent differences. It is dawning upon democratic campaign leaders that a substantial and powerful part of their party is against Wilson and ashamed of his ne glect of the country. There must be dismay in their hearts over the situation. Chairman George White, shrewd politician that he is, started out togvin these dissatisfied elements back by crying m the wilderness that .progressive policies would be the real issue. But he has been squelched. Cox and Roosevelt have been gathered to Woodrow's bosom, pledged to his plans and saddled with his unpopularity. Already Ohio and New York are out of the doubtful column, along with California, and there is much chewing of whiskers in inner democratic counsels. Unsolved Problem of Hotting. ' One of the aggravating hangovers of the war is that not enough dwelling places exist, in the cities to accomodate all who leek shelter there in. This is a common complaint, peculiar to no locality, and Omaha is only one of many grow ing cities where it is acute. Various expedients have been suggested for relief but opinion is slowly drifting around to acceptance of the only remedy that actually will remove the cause, that of building more houses. This has brought into requisition a number of novelities, among them the entrance of states or communities on programs that include the erec tion of detached or grouped dwellings, to be sold on reasonable terms to citizens who other wise might be unhoused. In both England and Canada public co-operation in this way has been extensive, although it has not been generally taken up in the United States as yet. The public building aid plan is merely an extension of the well-tried system of the building and loan associations, save that the government provides all the capital and assumes all the risk. Some of the suggested schemes for federal participation in the work of providing homeless Or rent-ridden citizens with dwellings have limited the amount of the loan, but gener ally without extending the security. The land banks loan only on 50 per cent of an adjusted valuation, and then demand first mortgage se curity. Most of the housing schemes are more liberal with the borrowers than this. The main element is that of cost,' and this now rests on material, labor and site. All of these are high, not necessarily because of scar, city, but on account of demand. When build ing operation have fairly ' satisfied the emer gency requirements, Or the stringency is met by a readjustment of population, then some relaxa tion on costs may be looked for. For the time being no better exemplification of the actfon of the economic law could be wished than is af forded by the course of rental and building val ues in the United States. Can the People Trust Him? In his attack on the republican congress Gov ernor Cox declares it "has not made a single ef fort or passed a single law to lift from the American people a load of war taxation that' cannot be tolerated in time of peace." He says this knowing that the congtess cut down the appropriations demanded by the Wilson ad ministration $2,414,115,144, thereby saving nearly two and a half billions the democrats had gleefully prepared to squander. The World, which follows Cox campaign methods, says "Governor Cox is positive that federal taxation must be heavily reduced. Repub licans, controlling congress, have said the same, but in two years have done nothing." Nothing? Is the saving of two and a half billion dollars nothing? With a proper regard for the usual courtesies of public discussion, one cannot properly characterize such statements by a presidential candidate and his most unscru pulous newspaper supporter. But what are the voters going to think of that sort of thing? What conclusion will they inevitably reach about Governor Cox's trust worthiness? ' ' " The Paramount , Issue. The League of Nations takes precedence Over all other issues in the campaign only because its possibilities for evil to America are so prodigious.- If it were wholly eliminated the admin istration of the government at home would yield sufficient evidence to decide any citizen's course. The wholesale extravagance, the ap palling inefficiency, the sectional favoritism as illustrated by southern cotton and sugar, the damage done to business by official meddling and experiment, would be ample to turn the voters bodily against the democratic party. The league is not the whole thing. The glar ing mistakes at home should not be forgotten. The stuff they sell now is full of adventure. A Newark man after a few snorts climbed a telephone pole and went to sleep stretched across the wires, forty feet from terra firma. The man who has a home of his dwn and can use it is to be congratulated in these days of high rentals. If there is a garden plot at tached, he is all the more to be .envied. "Muggsy" McGraw says his mind was a blank. He can get plenty of supporting testi mony on this point. Did "F. R."vote for MT. R." in 1912? Not that anybody noticed. Any complaint about the summer weather? The One-Half of One Per Cent Roosevelt From the Chicago Tribune. Franklin D. Roosevelt was taken to fill in the Democratic national ticket because his name was Roosevelt. If it had been anything else he probably would not have been thought of. He was in Chicago Wednesday night and is on his way to other states carrying the name Roosevelt to people who admire it. He says that he is out after the progressive republicans who were Roosevelt republicans. That is his job in the campaign. He is to put Jhe honev o(a name on the trap of a ticket. Franklin Roosevelt is fifth cousin to Theodore Roosevelt and his relationship is the closest degree of intimacy he can claim. The last time Theodore Roosevelt headed a national ticket Franklin Roosevett was working for one. of his opponents, Woodrow Wilson, and within a week after Wilson was inaugurated Franklin Roose velt was made assistant secretary of the navy, a job he now holds. Because Franklin's name is Roosevelt, be cause he was in the New York legislature, and because he is assistant secretary of the navy, he is put forward as another Theodore. If he is, then Billy Sunday is a Mormon. Theodore Roosevelt as assistant secretary of the navy made it possible for Dewey to win at Manila and Sampson to win off Santiago. Franklin Roosevelt as assistant secretary of the navy has helped California to see half the American fleet. Franklin is as much like Theodore as a clam is like a bear cat Before Roosevelt would have tolerated Josephus Daniels as a chief he would have made the Los Angeles phenomenon, the sprinkle of bricks, a national phenomenon, with the focal point in Washington. Franklin Roosevelt is one of the fifty-fifty fleet men. fifty for Pacific votes, fift for Atlantic votes and none for the enemy. If he is Theodore Roosevelt, Elihu Root is Gene Debs, and Bryan is a brewer. l'HE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, AUGUST 16, 1920.

"Every manuscript which Is accepted receives a number. One in every ten is paid for, the lucky one being the manuscript whose number ends with the same figure as the winning number In the national lottery at the first drawing after the article Is published." Not a bad idea. IN adapting tt to this column we .mould Im prove on it by giving a number to each rejected contribution, and then printing one in every ten of these,' the winning manuscript to be1, say. the one whose number ends with tha same figure as the first automobile license sign basslng our window at a given moment. Let's try It on the next ten. EVERT night, during a recent motor trip, we wondered why the least bad hotels are almost al ways located on the noisest street corners. The answer is supplied by a Gotham hotel man, Who says: "Transients like to keep near the train sheds, reople like to write to expected friends to maet them at the hotel rigW across the street from the station."

Sartorial observers have, noted that while the Mikado's attire, rrom mo "floating ribs south, was of a Boul Mich smart ness, everything north of that point touched his person only intermittently. It is now dis closed that in making a survey of the imperial topography the tailor must always keep his head bowed low. Hence, with his eyes reverently focused on a patella, no costume artist could be expected to overcome the Intricacies of a convex clavicle or the sag of a scapula, however regal they might be. BIS.

THE LAND OF LITTLE SHADE. (From the Comerton, Aris., Review.) Some of those people who have nothing to do but keep in shade of an electric fan dur ing the heat of the day, ought to try the business end of a linotype machine for eight hours. THE National Council of the Gaddersbund is trying to arrange with the American Library association to supply gadders with books. The idea is to allow them to borrow books in one city and return them to the library in another. May we "suggest and request" that this newspaper be included in the scheme, as our numerous trav eling contributors are not always able to procure their favorite dope at the regular kiosks. Boy, Page Brother Knutson and Ask Him How the Strike Came Out (From the La Cross Tribune and Leader.) Will you please publish this in your paper, under public debate. I want to ask Brother Knutson to publish how the building trades' strike was settled as so many of the union men don't know whether it is closed shop Or open shop, and neither does tho public. There is so much unrest among the men In the city that I think that it is the duty of Brothers Knutson, also the building contrac tors, to publish how the strike was settled, so all men, both union men and also the public will know how it was settled. There is noth ing to be ashamed of. If we union men won. the closed shop, we wish to know it; and also if it is the open shop, we wish to know I ask . brother Knutson to publish in the paper how this strike was settled, because if it was the closed shop we union men want to know it, and if it was the open shop we also want to know it. So I call on Brother Knut son to publish how it was settled, also call on the building contractors to publish how the agreement they signed reads, so we union men that don't know how the strike was settled will know whether we won or . lost the strike.

A robin's blithely singing in the tree. But he's not singing, singing now for me; For he who said that I was passing fair No more shall quaff the dewy morning air.

Copyright. 1120, by Dr. W. A. Evan. CLAIMS WHOOPING COUGH CURE. Satisfactory and immediate re sults can be obtained in the treat ment of whooping cough by the use of benzyl benzoate. "The dose given was from 5 to 30 minims every four hours. In same cases decided improvement was noticed from the smaller dose; in other cases larger doses were em ployed. "The effect usually made Itself felt within 48 hours, and in one in stance there was relief after the second dose. As a rule the relief is immediate and complete. The rem edy afforded immediate relief of several spasms of coughing and also seemed to lengthen the Intervals be tween attacks." f These statements are taken ver batim from a brlnf article on the benzyl benzoate treatment of whoop ing cough by Dr. T. E. McMurray, which appeared In the New York Medical Journal July 24, 1920. I presume this is a preliminary state ment representing Dr. McMurray'a conclusions, and fuller and more specific information will follow. These are strong statements and I hope more extended trial will prove them Justified. The drug benzyl benzoate la a new one. Its especial fli'ld is the group of conditions in which muscular spasm Is a promi nent symptom. Theoretically, there fore, it should be of service in re lieving whooping cough. , In this disease there is a spasmod ic cough. During the course of the coughing the vocal cords contract spasmodically, and the drawing in of air through these tightly drawn cords is responsible for the whoop. The whooper coughs uncontrolled until he falls back exhausted, and. therefore, relaxed. So far as the symptoms go, it Is this spasmodic feature wich caracterizes whooping cough.

We must admit that the treatment of whooping cough has not been. satisfactory. It is a self-limited dis ease, tending toward spontaneous cure. At tho same time the whoop ing spells are rather terrifying. Out of this combination has arisen a mul titude of remedies, each with' its supporters and advocates. In spite of tho catalog of cures, most physi cians, and mothers, too, for that mat ter, are always hoping that some thing better may turn up.

To the Editor of The Bee: In these days when the man on the street and the boy in the nchool gain so much information from the dally newspapers and books are so seldom read, it is pe culiarly neoessary for the copy readers and editors to scan the mat ter appearing In print The Bee has for a generation been recognized as being careful in this respect, but Saturday morning it carried an ab surd statement of some person be ing a direct descendant of Napoleon Bonaparte, and as such in line as claimant to the French Imperial throne. The only direct descendant of Napoleon I waa the son of the Auntrtan princes who died after the abdication of Napoleon and whose life has been so well por trayed by Sarah Bernhardt in "l.'Aiglon. His legal successor waa his nephew, Napoleon III, whose son, the prince imperial, waa killed in South Africa in a British cam paign against the Zulus. Another newspaper Saturday spoke of the possibility of the Ten nessee legislature enfranchising 250,000,000 women, although the en tire population of the United States is Httle more than half tha num ber. Recently a local paper referred to an Omaha family as lineally de scended from George Washington. But why stir up old scandals? H. H. C. Jerry Learns sC Lot. Omaha, Aug. IS. To the Editor of The Bee: Your editorial in today's issue, headed "Hard Times In the Palace," contains much merit and deserves serious thought. Can it be possible that the "King of Eng land has erdered cleansing of Buckingham palace postponed on account of high wages asked by the scrubwoman?" I had an idea that the royal purse could stand any sum of money because King George could borrow any amount he wished from America. I perceive by the press Great Britain's debt to the United States, amounts to 15,233. 870,000. This tremendous amount of money was borrowed during the war. I learn there is a propoganda abroad to cancel the amount. Not withstanding the Anglo-Persian agreement, the league of nations and other secret treaties, the war is not over, or perhaps properly begun. Therefore, I have an idea that King George can borrow whatever amount he deems necessary to put the royal palace in order. Any one who objects to loaning money to England is not thoroughly Ameri canized and ought to be ahot or shipped. JERRY HOWARD. Exactly. "There are exceptions to every rule, you know."
