AMERICA'S DUTY TO THE WORLD.
On this page wc reproduce a letter written
by a Nebraska woman, whose sons served in
the American army during the World War, and
whose personal activity along all lines of pa
triotic endeavor throughout the critical period
mark her as one devoted to the ideals of the na
tion. Her questions are pertinent, and deserve
careful consideration.
In objecting to the League of Nations, most
of its critics have in mind its fortrj and not its
object. We all long for peace, for the genius of
America is for peace, and we are all willing to
make many sacrifices to maintaiiJ the world in
orderly, quiet activity, just as we are equally
willing to combat fiercely for the preservation
of our liberties. The natural development of
our wonderful material resources has made ns
the unquestioned leader among the nations of
the world in commerce and industry, the wealth
of this country far exceeding that of any other.
It has also come to pass that we are to take a
position with the leaders in the political affairs
of the world. Our prominence, our powers, our
opportunities and our ideals forbid us to stand
selfishly aside and seek to escape a responsibil
ity that rests heavily on the strong.
In assuming our proportionate share of "the
white man's burden," which in reality means
those duties we owe the weak, and, more even
y that, the privilege we have of being help
ful, vfc must not do so at the expense of our in
stitutions. If Amcifa Can help a weary world
to a better way of life, jt will be through pre-
iu- iniaci us own great constitutional gov
an American-built automobile. Once the great
republic was traced around the world by a trail
of tin cans in which its kerosene oil had been
carried to dwellers in outer darkness; now the
"tin lizzie" or the more pretentious "boat" has
followed the oil can, and is consuming "gas"
for the comfort and convenience of the nabobs
and the visitors, if not for the ordinary in
habitants of the remotest places. In civilized
lands the American machine has fairly won its
way, and will hold it, because it combines utility
with comfort, service with luxury, and is as
much of a necessity in the affairs of civilized
man as the steam engine was in the epoch closed
with the last century.
Cummingi Repudites Cox's Slander.
It fell to the lot of Homer S. Cummings,
until six weeks ago chairman of the democratic
national committee, absolutely' to discredit Gov
ernor Cox's "evidence" of a republican fund
and conspiracy to "buy the presidency," and in
cidentally to disclose the fact that the demo
cratic national committee is "attempting to raise
funds by the same method used by the repub
licans." In his sworn testimony before the senate in
vestigating committee, in tlx presence of demo
cratic senators, Pomerene of Ohio and Reed of
Missouri, Mr. Cummings said on Monday:
Senator Reed Do you know of any effort
being made to buy the presidency to corrupt
the electorate?
Mr. Cummings Only such impression as
you would gather from the collection and dis
bursement of manifestly excessive sums.
Senator Reed Do you know of any mani
festly excessive sums that have been col
lected? Mr. Cummings I don't know of any.
Senator Reed Do you know, of your own
knowledge, of any moneys that have been
contracted for or arranged for in excess of
those that have been testified here today?
Mr. Cummings No, sir.
Senator Reed then called Mr. Cummings'
attention to the testimony of Will H. Hays
earlier in the day that the republicans had
planned to raise $3,079,037.20 for the national
committee's campaign budget and that possi
bly another million might be necessary in the
stite campaigns.
"Now, Mr. Cummings." Senator Reed
asked, "would you say that the raising of
$3,000,000 by any national committee would
indicate any corrupt purpose?"
Mr. Cummings Certainly not.
Senator Reed Then you seem to agree
with Mr. Hays that his fund does not indicate
any corruption. . .
Mr. Cummings after some discussion said
he could find no evidence of corruption in the
republican plan for raising campaign funds,
adding that his own organization was at
tempting to raise funds by the same method
used by the republicans.
The Tide oiTraTel.
What wilf the tide of travel do as it meets
the new,4ates? Will it ebb, or continue to flow
in present or greater volume?
One thing is certain: The world never trav
eled as it has of late years. Everybody has been
eminent and all the blessings that have flowed- going everywhere. East, west, north and south
I
therefrom to benefit mankind everywhere. "
A the covenant for the League of Nations
now stands, it does interfere with the constitu
tional government of the United Stages. Presi
dent Wilson has said that the decision of the
council of the league carries a nioral obligation
that is even weightier than a 1 jal mandate, one
we would be bound to obey stand dishonored.
This interpretation of th.4neanine? of Article X
J V jerfW'aWy' accepted. The Lodge reservation,
rejected by the president, undertook to make
plain that the council of the League of Nations,
can not supersede, set aside' or suspend the Con
stitution of the United States. On this the issue
is joined.
Many are averse to our intimate mixing in
the politics of Europe, but none is unwilling that
we should aid in every way we may to help the
people over there to so adjust their affairs that
they may live tranquilly, enjoying each the fruits
of his industry under a government set up by
the people who have to live under it. Further
than this we can not go without meddling in
matters that do not rightfully concern us. We
are willing to enter into association with other
nations to establish and maintain justice, to pre
serve right and secure international order, but
hesitate at taking up a course that leads us into
a wilderness where only uncertainty can attend
the way.
Free State of Flume.
A statement from Rome, published last week,
indicates that the Italian government has de
termined to recognize the "free state of Fiume,"
set up by Gabrielle D'Annunzio. This will
probably carry with it the sanction of England
and France, and that means at present the
League of Nations.- So ends one of the most
fantastic episodes of the war. President Wilson
astonished the world while at Paris by awarding
Shantung to Japan on one day and Fiume to
Jugo-Slavia on the other. Comment in this
country on this remarkable pair of decisions
was energetic, but nothing in comparison to the
indignation created abroad. . Italy temporarily
withdrew from the conference, while Cadorni
.went to Rome for conference with his govern
ment. Protest then lodged was never wholly
withdrawn, and when the astonishing poet-warrior
sprung his coup a few months later it did
not greatly surprise any. j
The decision now arrived at may be an easy
way out of an embarrassing situation, although
it does seem to flout Mr. Wilson, just as does
the Chinese persistence in clinging to Shantung.
D'Annunzio, who will be dubbed very likely
"Duke Gabrielle I," is out with a scenario for
his future government of the free state he has
set up, and another principality is created thus
for the cartographers to puzzle over.
What must interest Americans is the light
it throws on the attitude of our president at
Paris, where he undertook the pose of great and
good friend to all, and finally arbiter as well.
' He reached and announced three important de-
. cisions there: One that Fiume should go to
Jugo-Slavia, the second that Shantung should
: go to Japan, and the third that Article X should
take the place of the Constitution of the United
States. So far he has been markedly unsuc
cessful in getting the folks chiefly concerned to
agree with either. Fortunately, Senator Hard
ing has pledged himself to abandon the Wilson
.' foreign policies.
the gadders have gone, on pleasure or on busi
ness bent. Crowded coaches, crowded Poll
mans on all trails on all roads. It has been the
wonder of all observers.
Travel never has been inexpensive. Even
with 2 cents a mile rates it is costly, and for a
year it has been increasingly so, not only in the
loss of time by those who travel, but in all the
side expenses lunches, meals, hotel bills and
other items which, even the tightwads cannot
evade. Yet it has continued, a great public
transportation jollification.
Once the automobile, the touring car, was
feared as a menace to the railroads. But no
longer. The more people rolling over the coun
try on pneumatic tires, the more going on the
rails, has been the rule. Will the new rates
check the t,ide of rail travel? 'We guess yes.
They hit the pocketbook of the tourist hard, and
there is some evidence in other directions that
the little old wallet is not as fat as it was even
six months ago. ,
Well, staying at home and sticking to the
job for a year or two will do the country no
harm.
American Automobiles Abroad.
A report from the Department of Commerce
says that during the fiscal year 1920, just over,
manufacturers of the United States exported al
most a quarter of a billion dollars' worth of au
! tomobiles. These machines were sent all over
the world. Everywhere man travels, from the
. inaccessible recesses of Tibet, the Desert of
Gobi, in the Himalayas, across Sahara, up the
' Nile, along theAmazon, the hinterlands of all
- continents, he4as theopportunity to ride on
Democracy's Plutocrat Candidate.
The other day some paper whose name we
forget spoke of Governor Cox as the possessor
of four or five million dollars. Since then the
New York Tribune has mentioned him as a mil
lionaire, and the Wall Street Journal as a multi
millionaire, quite familiar with Wall Street.
He is the first millionaire in the history of
the country to be nominated for the presidency,
and the astounding thing about it is that the
democratic party, which, has damned plutocrats
for a generation as necessarily enemies of the
common people, should have been hooked by
him.
For Jim Cox, whose fingers are yellow with
the gold of Big Business, to go about saying
mean things of other excessively rich men is
certainly a joke on the "poor man's party," as
they used to call the democa It's as funny as
Cox's hypocritical horror over a mythical eight-million-dollar
republican campaign after the
statement of the New York World of the plans of
the democratic fat fryers to raise a campaign
fund of $10,000,000. Can it .be that it has all hap
pened because the people are not investing in
the democratic party this year?
What Youth Wants in Marriage.
Ohio State university students of both sexes
have expressed their views of essentials to
happy marriage. The" girls declare for good
providers, preferably business men, for com
rades, appreciation of music, and physical
pulchritude, with affection the first requisite.
The boys arejfor good housekeepers, good looks
and sound health. Not a bad guess all around.
Twenty years from now a different line of
desirable things will have occurred to all of
them. At that time mental traits and habits
will come into prominence in their thoughts,
and thrift, wealth, social position, fidelity, gen
erosity and charitable views ef human short
comings, will loom into importance.
The voice of the concrete mixer and that of
the steam shovel is heard in Omaha these days,
indicating the solid growth of the city.
Money from the rank and file is btfilding up
the campaign fund, says Chairman Hays, and
the Voters will do the rest later on.
The boleshevik idea of courtesy and fairness
is indicated by their making virtual prisoners of
the peace commissioners.
Governor Cox is back on the league again.
He knows more about that.
Evidently the straw hat did not notice the
calendar. " '"

AS the campaign heats up, candidates might
profitably consider a 'line by Mr. Ping Bodie,
apropos of a little run-in with one ot tne oppos

"Ponded Finance."
Sir: You pay for Mr. Ben Franklin's Weekly
by subscription I have not read it for long time
but it used to be dollar and a half the year and
It probably is that now and you get it once the
week. Each week it weighs most of the time
two pounds and the paper in it costs the man
who publishes it at least seventeen cents because
when any of the rest of us want to buy such
paper which is supersized and supercalendered
and what we call super we have to pay right
now 14 rents to IS Cents and we can't get it for
months and mentis and it must cost him prob
ably nine cents. And aecond hand paper brings
you two writs to three cents. So you take your
Ben Frarrnlin Weeklys for a year for which you
paid , SI. 50 and you call in the paper man and
yot sell them to him for $2 or maybe 13, and
;'ju make a nice profit. And when I get out
from where I am I think I will do this. I can
perhaps sell the papers back to Mr. Franklin
himself. PIETRO PONZI.

The night birds call, the shadows fall
About my door;
The waters creep along to sleep
Upon the shore;
The evening breeze drifts thro' the trees.
My heart leaps up like flame.
Thinking I hear your voice, my dear,
Whisper once .more my name.
A mocking-bird is faintly heard,
The willows sigh;
The waters croon, the crescent moon
Hangs in the sky;
While high and far the evening star .
With happiness I see.
Dreaming the while your tender smile
Beams gently down on me.
In vale and hill the birds are still,
The breezes die;
On field and town night closes down,
Dark is the sky.
As all too soon sets the pale moon,
The waters faintly moan;
My eyes are wet let me forget
That I am here alone. IRIS.

HEART DISEASE LEADS.
Heart disease now heads the list
nt rmui nt death. It is responsi
ble for about one-eighth of all
deaths. In the draft examination
4.23 per cent of all the young men
oisminerl were rejected on account
of heart diseases; 1.6 per cent of
all the school children examined c-y
school physicians in New York City
had heart disease, 76 per cent of the
children under 10 years of age in
Bellevue hospital suffering rrom
rheumatism had heart disease.
A very large proportion of the
children with heart disease do noi de
velop symptoms until they are about
30 years or age and do not suspect
that there is anything wrong in
early life unless they happen to be
examined for the army or for life
insurance or in school.
Contrary to the general opinion,
heart disease is not very likely to
cause sudden death. Only a very
small portion of the mass with heart
disease die suddenly. Perhaps there
are other more important causes of
sudden death. Also contrary to the
general opinion, heart disease may
be present for 10 or 20 years with
out causing symptoms. Also con
trary to the general opinion, after a
man has developed symptoms of
heart disease he may still live and
work for many years. Tho nub of
the matter for him is the state of
his heart muscle. ' If that muscle
is good enough to do all the extra
work thrown on it the man has no
symptoms. If after he has broken
down he succeeds in building up a
good heart muscle he can come
bsck. If his heart muscle can stand
it he can work.
In New York City they have or
ganized 27 special heart classes, In
which there are more than 3,000
cases of heart .disease. In most in
stances the patients work during the
day and once a week at night they
go to the class to learn what to do
and what not to do and to find out
whether the work they are doing is
too much for their heart muscle.
To learn how to live and work in
spite of heart disease is a matter ot
going to school and taking of medi
cine is of minor importance. Some
of the patients work at basket mak
ing and that is all right so long as
they stick to small baskets.
Some drive automobiles, and that
is all right provided their machines
are equipped with self-starters. Some
are tailors, but they are generally in
structed not to iron. Some do shoe
repairing. The fact ia there are
many jobs they can do as well as
anyone provided once a week or al
most that often they drop in and
have someone decide how well they
are standing up under the Job.
Dr. Ginle, who suggested these
clinics, said there were three things
a person with heart disease must
avoid alcohol, tobacco and staira.
Dr. Ginle's medicines for heart dis
ease are forgot, but this advance in
hygiene lives on.
Xo Game Law on Tonsils.
A. V. W. writes: "1. Do you sup
pose there is any harm to a per
son's health to have his tonsils re
moved? "2. Will it benefit a person in
any way to have them removed?
3. Is there a certain season for
this operation?"
REPLY.
1. No. In rare instances there
is danger from hemorrhage and ab
cess of the lung at the time of oper
ation or soon afterwards.
2. Yes, if they are diseased or
ff they are causing rheumatism or
neuritis.
3. ; There is no closed season for
tonsils.
Concerning the League.
North Platte, Neb., Aug. 28. To
the Editor of The Bee: May I ask
you the question, "Do you think the
league of nations as it now reads is
a protection to our nation or a men
ace? Will it in time of trouble de
mand that we go to help any other
nation out of Its troubles at any time
we are Called upon to do so or will
its agreements adhered to protect us
from trouble with foreign powers?"
It seems to me, as I understand
it, that we would be called upon at
any time to not only be prepared
with a full army and navy but be
ready to be called any time. I think
we have given an exhibition of our
ability to not only protect ourselves
but others in time of need; why
when we are able to close oup ports
and are sufficient unto ourselves be
dictated to by foreign powers and
drawn Into their troubles? We are
able to take care of ourselves, why
not tell the others to "scrap it out,"
come to a settled law-abiding rule
throughout all Europe then they
will be recognised and all business
relations be restored and be on
friendly terms; until then stay out.
We paid our debt to France, we
owe no nation; let's close our doors
and take care of ourselves peace
ably. Please explain why this can
not be done so our youn gmen won't
be called out as they were in the re
cent war. Thanking you for any inT.
formation.

The Complexities of
Modern Life
In the good old days when life
was simple and wants were few,
banking; was an individual proposi
tion. Back in 1857 when The First
National Bank was established, a
few individuals could handle' all the
banking transactions of the institu
tion. The growth of Omaha to a
cosmopolitan city has changed all
this, but The First has kept pace
with the necessities of the time3.
Today the same individual atten
tion is given as in the old days, but it
i3 given by a large organization.
Each unit knows its customers, calls
them by name, and knows their re
quirements. In addition the services
of a corps of specialists is avail
able to render service in the many
complicated matters that con
stantly arise in these modern
days.

Do You Like
Porterhouse
Steak?
Probably you do. It is gener
ally considered the choicest cut It
is also, unfortunately, the scarcest
Nearly one-half of the live
animal is not meat at alL , It con
sists of hide, oils, bones, etc., which
have a low value compared with
meat.
A live steer weighing 1000 lbs.
yields only about 55 or 550 lbs.
of meat
19
Of this 550 lbs.,only about
Bfo or ......
is orterhouse.
44 lbs.
This means that only about 4 per
cent of the live weight of the animal
goes into this cut
But less than half the animals which
come to market are high grade, corn fed
cattle, from which the choice porter
house steaks you like must come.
Sirloin, ribs, round, chuck, flanks, etc.
make up the greater part of the dressed
animal. Chucks alone amount to over
one-fifth. Although palatable and nutri
tious when properly cooked, these cuts
cannot bring the price of the finer steaks.
Naturally, these rare and popular
steaks have to bring higher prices to
enable the dealer to offset the low prices
he has to take for cuts less in demand.
Otherwise he could not keep on serv
ing you.
And neither could we. , High as
porterhouse prices may seem to youf our
profits on cattle, including the return from
hides and other by-products have aver
aged only about one dollar per head dur
ing the past few years, or about one
quarter of a cent per pound of beef.
