Dout the Budget Billr
One'ef the plants of pit democratic plat
form, much commented on by Governor Cox in
his speeech of acceptance and other utterances,
condemns the republican senate for failure to
act oil the budget bill which was vetoed by Pres
ident Wilson. . ; .. a
V;Ler'"us get this straightr The McCormick
Good bill, setting up the budgetvsystem for the
control of public business, "areform demanded
for many years and several times' defeated by
the democrats, notably -under the adninistratiou
of President Taft, was passed and sent to the
president on May 29. On June 4 it was returned
to congress with a veto message, setting forth
as a reason for its disapproval that it Sve to
congress power to' remove presidential ap
pointees, contrary to the constitutian. The
house passed, the measure .with the suggested
amendment, and the Kill was sent over to the
senate, where tt died. ;
This looks bad, on the surface, but examina
tion discloses the truth. "Congress, had agreed
to adjourn at noon on June 5, awd the president
was apprised of the fact. He also knew that he
allowedless than 24 hours, for action onliis veto
message. The bill had been, in his hands six
days. Isn't it natural to inquire why some of the
blame for the failure of the needed legislation
should not rest on the executive, who had so
deliberately taken his time in considering the
measure? Or is it right to expect congress to
move with the extreme haste that would be
called for under the circumstances?
The objection of the president was not vital
to the law; it could have been met an amend
ment passed at a subsequent session; and-withcyit
seriously interfering with the, prerogative of the
executive. Blame-ior the failure of the budget
bill rests at the White House and iot at the
Capitol.
Suffrage in Nebraska.
Women -of Nebraska ,will occupy a unique
position September 21, in that they will be
privileged to vote upon the question oL their
own. enfranchisement. Iiwother states, suffrage
has been granted .women by vote of men;
in Nebraska, by opiijion of the attorney g,flieral,
the partial franchise! granted by .the legislature
will permit women (to vote upon the constitu
tional amendment which will admit them )o full
suffrage. ' , ; . ,
True, inasmuch as the Tennessee legislature
has ratified theiational suffrageTamendment, the
issue in Nebraska at this moment is academic.'
A successful plea in -court; however, attacking
the validity of the action in TenBessee, would
make the approaching vote in Nebraska an issue
of real and practical importance to 250,000
wonien . . '.. t '
Under , these circumstances, it may be pre
sumed that Nebraska women will qualify in
large numbers for the election September 21 .
Should" the Tennessee ratification be invalidated,
the Nebraska ,women will have .onJy thetnselves
to blame if they fail to win full suffrage by state
action. For, if enough register and vote for
suffrage, there cal be no question of the success
of their state amendment. ' '

Everyboby knows that the severe
pains of dysmenorrhoea always can
be greatly modified arjd generally
relieved by a foot or leg tjath, or a

An application consisting of a
blanket wrung out of hot water and
applied from the hips down is ef
fective, though less convenient than
wrapping the hips and legs with a
thermo-electric blanket. Fomenta
tions to the legs, followed by heating
compresses are- a convenient and ef

cases due to. pelvic inflammations.
Pain in the pelvic region may In
many cases be relieved by the use of
a hot enema. The application may
be repeated several times a day. The
quantity of water introduced should
not be more than 'one or two pints.
The water should be retained five
minutes. The enema should be given
while the subject lies on the back.

Likes Harding's Sentiments.
Omaha. Aug. 16. To the Editor
of The Bee: I have- patiently pe
rused, both Senator Harding's and
Governor Cox's letters' of accept
ance of 'the presidential nomina
tions; Mid I say without hesitation
that after ample time for reflection
Upon the two document and a con
scientious attempt to weigh them
impartially, there appears a decid
ed difference between them in point
of merit, whether comparison be
made with reference to intellectual
or moral force. From beginning to
end Senator Harding's letter
breathes the spkit of unadulterated
Americanism. " That part of it
which deals' with political principle
may well', be characterized, as a com
prehensive' and authoritative ' trea
tise on democracy according to ihe
constitution of the United States.
"I am sure I understand the pur
pose of the dominant group jt the
senate," . says Senator Harding, in
speaking of the) senate's battle
against the administration's attempt
to bullyrag the vicious league of na
tions scheme upon this nation. "We
were resolved then, even as we are
today, . and will ' be tomorrow, to
preserve this free and independent
republic," etc.
Without the slightest doubt the
opinion was quite common for a
while after the event that the con
vention had.made a doubtful selec
tion in the ftominatio'n of ttie quiet
gentleman from the Buckeye ftate.

vBut let me, in all candor, direct
particular attention tq that, passage
of Senator Harding' letter which
most deeply impressed and im
presses me. and which I think may
fairly be acoepted as a true indica
tor of his spirit. In discussing the
question of.the negra's rights as
an American' citizen, Mr. Harding
says: "I believe the negro citizens
of America should be guaranteed
the enjoyment of oil their rights:
that thov hnf Mr-ncti the full mea
sure of citizenship ffestowedi that
tfceir sacrifices In blood on the bat
tlefields of the republic have en
titled thorn to all of rreedoni and
opportunity, all of sympathy and aid
that the American spirit of fairness
and justice demands." And yet an
overwhelming' majority ot the native-born
-whites oi the southern
states have from the dato of the
r.egrp's - enfranchisement treated
with contemptuous disregard the
political rights supposedly vouch
safed by th(y 14th and 15th amend
ments ta the notional constitution.
Let us sincerely trust that wear
repiilly approaching tne rnd of sucA
a travesty on representative gov
