THE IMPERIAL WILSON.!
. The Minneapolis Tribune renders a public
service in calling attention to the -condition of
Haiti under the tender ministrations of Presi
dent Wilson. Five years ago .that professed
lover of the rights of small nations sent an
American man-of-war to that island and grabbed
control of it, robbedit orits independence, and
lias .ince held it in military and political sub
jection which can be compared in its complete
, Iiess only with that of Belgian under Von
Biasing. '
This is ,the island whose constitution the
modest FRoeseveltVecently boasted of having
written, and which 'Wilson's bayonets put in"ef
ffect in defiance of every American principle of
righteous treatment of its weaker neighbors. In
other words, Haiti is. and has been, for 'five
years, held in galling subjection by Wilson's ad
ministration, andVall its protests withheld from
the American people by a wicked censorship.
The suffering , little island is now overrun
with southern democrats fattening on their
tributes-hundreds of them, - These parasites are
running around, each in his own automobile, at
: the expense of the Haitian people, while the
nominal native president and his cabinet have
none. Every oneof the hundreds of salaried
obi worth "picking" is in possession of a south
ern democrat. TheXTribune says of the shame
ful thing: "
Thil record is a splendid, practical test f,
the much-touted Wilsonian idealism. Here
we have, practically naked imperialism. Here
we have independence stolen bodily from a
tiny country an arm of occupation flung
Upon ity-a military ruieperpetuated an ob
noxious censorship established a spoils sys
tem rarrrpant andi a small .nation wantonly
- exploited by a great one. What the demo
cratic administration1 has done to Haiti, par
ticularly when contrasted with- what- a repub
lican administration d'd for Cuba, is some
thing that no true American can look upon
. except with shame.
A contemplation of what the immaculate
Wilson can and does do when he thinks secrecy
it assured, as illustrated in Haiti at the present
time, is enough to make a liberty-loving people
choke with indignation. If is a part of his rec-
ord at home and abroad which reveals a charac
ter essentially despotic and mercilessly severe!
It one df his policies that will "go into the dis
card when Harding becomes president, and the
evil subjection of a once friendly little nation
is abandoned. w
? But 'Haiti will always remember Woodrow
. Wilson with intense hatred and bitterness,
fully justified. ' :

Some Old Notions ot Things. . .
In some specialty stiJff printed by an exr
change we note the dread of Lady Hervey, who
died in 1768, had for seeing people quite happy.
She did not believe happiness a natural condi
tion on earth, and probably sighed"when she
met a person in good health. But that war
more than ISO years ago. The world has
learned to welcome happiness since then, and
to promote it in every righteous way. Happi
ness increases efficiency and usefulness of aH
kinds. In the days of v the Pilgrim Fathers,
whose Tercentenary we are about to celebrate,
it was the policy of church x authorities o
make religion as gloomy and forbidding as
possibl. They wanted religion that hurt, and
exhausted themselves putting-pain into"ity
But a fairer and better day dawned in the
pulpits when loye of God began to be taught
more than fear of Biblical penalties for sin.
Occasionally, no doubt, we need to be reminded
that sin has its sting, but we are now taught
tht happiness may come only by placing obr
selves in harmony with the divine purpose.
Sir Humphrey Davy, devoteS"io science and
philosophy, who died fifty years later than Lady
Hervey, held a belief that wears better in the
world's grinding of theories and opinions. He
dreaded the effect of. "too much prosperity"
either, for , nations or individuals. Our excess
prosperity before we entered the war plunged
us into extravagance that for. a "year threatened
serious, disturbances, and has not yet wholly
subsided. When useful avocations requiring
years of skilled training receive- less compensa
tion than mere muscufar strength which requires
neither' brains nor forethought, "the world's up
side down," and that's the way it was" for a
while. " - s
, The effect of prosperity, of too much pros-,
perity, on the "individual, we can see on all
sides. It leads to excesses of all kinds, de
velops unlovely traits of character, and ruins
many a family that otherwise would have been
happy; a,nd content. But we are all willing to
risk prosperity national and personal and
strive for it to the veryend of our earning ca
pacity.' Perhaps a .moderate prosperity is better
for the people as st whole than great prosperity
It is worth studying, anyhow, now that we have
advanced to-the point (where a multimillionaire
has been nominated for the presidency. What
an uprising of indignant protest the nomina
tion of a, plutocrat like Cox would have caused
twenty years ago! - , , ' .

Help the Visiting Nurses,
Now comes the one day in the ytir when no
patriotic citizen of Omaha objects to being
"tagged." R is for the Visiting Narses, an in
stitution whose achievements are as worthy as
its purpose is noble. It is the handof the Visit
ing Nurse that ninisters to the sick and afflicted
when other ministration is not present, The Vis
iting Nurse instructs the; young or .uninformed
mother in how, to give baby a chance; she
teaches the struggling housekeeper how to pro
tect her flock froiri danger. When pain or
pestilence threaten, there she is. modest, unas
sumirfg,' determined, meeting the crisis with
sympathetic patience, falteringjjot agaitht the
odds, and winningmany a fight against the de
stroyer that were lost without her presence. And
her work depends on the liberality of the public,
evinced through contributions on Tag Day.
It is a pity some better way is not found to
secure the means to carry on this needed gen
erous charity, but do-not let that keep you from
getting a tag today. '' - ,

ANSWERS TO FOOD QUES
;v TIONS.
AVhen the health officcrs-of Penn
sylvania had Prof. McCollum on the
stand at a recent camp 'of instruc
tion, they fired a long list of ques
tions on food at him. Some of these
questions and answers follow:
Does a chemical ahalysis of a food
show everything., relative , to ' food
value? No. Even though . such
analysis shows the number of calo
ries present, it will fails to supply
all-'the information we need. A cer
tain proportion of the calorics must
be obtained from protein. ' Even
though it shows enough protein cal
ories the information my be some
what incomplete because human be
ings thrive better onsonie proteins
than on others. In addition, there
are substances called vitamins neces
sary for continued health and well
being which cannot be demonstrated
by chemical analysis. -
lit is advisable to supplement1 the
chemical tests -by biological tests. In
other words, to feed animals with
the food. The questions are: -
"Do the experimental animals"!
keep fat and healthy, do they have
the proper number of young, do. the
young animals grow properly, and,
finally, doessenility come on before
its time?"
Whatdo you -mean by protective
foods? I meanyoods necessary to
protect against scurvy, rickets, beri
beri, various forms of, neuralgia
pains;- pellagra and xerophalmia, a
form. .of ulcer of the cornea.
What is the best all 'round pro
tective food? Milk.
What ranks second? The"thlri
.leaved vegetables. The protective
principle is found in all parts of the
vegetable, but in different propor
tiojig. There is least in the grains,
partkftilrly in that part of the grain
berry which we use principally for
food. It is present in tM germ and
in the outer coats, but iff almost ab
sent from the bodv of the era in 1t-
r"self. It Is present, in small quan
tities mi an me luoers ana roots,
but here, too, in small quantities.
The germ is the active part of the
grain, the other portion of the grain
being merely a storehouse of food
for the supply of the germinating
cells. The protective substance is
mest rbundant among the thin
leaves because they are composed.
ji:ostly of active cells. f
What are some of the leaves,
which people eat which posses these
protective, properties in a high de
gree? Spinach, lettuce, cabbage,
cauliflower, brussels sprouts, turnip
tops, beet tops, dandelion, mustard,
tops, lambs' quarters and a few oth
ers, g
How about asparagus? Asparagus
is a thick leaf and it, with beans.
should be classed with the thick
leaves: '
Is there any relation between pro
tective substance and minerals? Yes.
Milk and leaves are rich in calcium,
sodium, chlorine, while the leaves
are also well supplied with iron.
PerHaps one reason whip cooked
milk is not so protective as raw is
because its calcium does not absorb

Views of a Country Retailer.
-Tilden, Neb., Aug. 31. T6 The
Editor of TjheBee: I enclose check
for $9 to pay for a year's subscrip
tion to your, paper. '
. I have been a reader of, The Oma
ha Bee for -nearly 40 years and had
at this time almost decided to drop
my subscription. lt do not wish, to
accuse aflyone of proflteeritig. as it
is an ugly word to use and I per
sonally believe that you are at. least
in the greater part justified in the
price you are now putting on your
paper, as it Is. impossible for any
business to make expenses if it is
run on the same oasis it was a. few
years ago.
Labor demands nd receives more
pay. Freights rates are raised and
right here let me say that the great
er part of the inoreased freight will
come out. of the retailer's profits
and not out of the general public,
as some of the newspapers are try
ing to induce the public to believe.
The public will pay the freight -on
heavy merchandise such as sugar
and salt, but the retailer will pay
the freight on all dry goods, ready-to-wear
and small groceries. It will
be Impossible for lbs or any other
retailer t6 add one-sixth of a cent
advance on a yard of goods or one
fourth of a cent on a can of corn
or a couple of cents to a pair of
shoes or a suit of tlpthes or a lady's
dress orvcoat and it is-almost silly
for any one to talk such rot as that.
The raise in freight rates will cost
us around $500 and $350 of that will
come out of our profits and the only
way we have to get it back is to in
crease our business and there Is a
time coming when it will be impos
sible to get the increase. Carpen
ters, railroad men, masons, plumb
ers and day lanorers are getting
more pay than the profits of 70 per
cent of the retailers amount ,to and
then they are constantly howling at
the retailer for gouging him on
prices. We must admit that there
are dishonest retailers that have
taken advantage of conditions to get
more out ofthe business than they
are entitled to, but does that make
all retailers dishonest? 'Bank offi
cials have absconded with funds
that did not belong to them but that
did not make all bankers dishonest.
In .conclusion I Wish to make this
statement regarding my business
and I will leave it to any fair-minded'
man or bunch of men if they
think we have robbed any one. Our
average gross profit last year was
16 per cent, ous gross expenses were
a ftifle over 10 per cent, leaving us
a little less 'than 6 per-cent profit
on the business we did, and I be
lieve from what I have learned
about the business of other country
merchants that very few of them
aje making more net profit than we
are, but the most of them are to a
larger expense than we have, cainied
by conditions that it is almost im
possible to avoid.
