.OHIO SWINGING TO HARDING.
The Chicago Post sees the collapse of the
democratic campaign in the east, where the tide
is running strong against Cox, whose mistakes
on the stump and evident unfitness for the office
lie seeks, have created widespread disaffection
in his own party. He is expected to make but
a sorry showing north of Virginia.
In Ohio, the state his convention supporters
declared he would carry without a doubt, his
own manager, George White, himself an Ohio
man, publicly says the result is in doubt. When
the democratic national chairman concedes that
much it is plain that Cox must be in a bad way
t home. Many defections bear witness to this
act. In two of the smaller cities of Ohio re
cently visited by the writer, there is open demo
cratic revolt against him. One, of these is
Marietta, where there is organized opposition
from powerful and lifelong democrats. At Gal
lipolis we learned of a number of prominent and
influential democrats openly supporting Hard
ing. That the condition in these representative
smaller cities prevails over the whole state is
strkingly borne out by secret ballots taken by
two normally democratic phio newspapers, the
Cincinnati Enquirer and the Columbus Dispatch.
These ballots have been taken all over the state,
and show Harding and the republican candidate
for governor far in the lead among both men
and women voters. They also record change?
made by voters of both parties, and show ap
proximately three democrats who will vote
republican this year to one republican'who will
vote democratic. ' ,
These figures are highly significant, because
for eight or ten years the canvasses made by
these newspapers have accurately forecast the
results of the election which followed. They
have had a widespread depressing influence on
the democratic organization which has lost con
fidence rapidly since the failure of Governor
Cox's infamous charge that the republican man
agers were plotting to buy the presidency by
-bribing democratic! voters. So far as we could
learn" from democrats with whom we came in
personal contact dissatisfaction with the League
if Nations ranks first as a cause of democratic
defection, and the personality, of Cox seTond.
Ohio is against the Wilson League.
, No Upright Politicians?
Prof. Super of Ohioi university in his en
lightening book, "Between Heathenism and
Christianity," remarks:
Two things have always been found in
compatible: to be a successful politician and
an upright man.
... Rather severe judgment, perhaps justified
is a rule, ana certainly suggestive in view of the
"act that Prof. Super lived in the same town
;vitK a successful politician for twenty years.
4 Success in politics too frequently requires in
sincerity, untruthfulness, ingratitude and down
right dishonesty.,, One need not stray; far from
home to find instances in corroboration of this
fact, but we should sdislike to believe that the rule
is "universal, in spite of what we havex already
seen n the present campaign. There are clean,
truthful, trustworthy men in politics. Perhaps
Prof. Suoer would classify them as statesmen
rather than politicians,' -although Tom Reed of
Maine and blessed memory once declared that
every statesman is a dead politician.
: - Dissimulation, evasion and other things
which could not be called -open and above
board, are usually included among the working
tools of the politicians, but let us not be too
ihard on them. They have to make a living,
some way, and the' Lord knows the man who
depends on politics for his bread and butter, to
say nothing of his comfort in old age, has a
hard and crooked row to hoe.
Nullifying the Jones Act. ,
A further evidence of the autocratic nature
of Woodrow Wilson is given in his attitude to
ward the Jones shipping bill, passed by the late
. congress and a law because the president signed
it. To give it full effect, and derive for American-owned
vessels all the benefits proposed
under it, some eleven commercial treaties now
in existence must be modified. Such action re
quires the co-operation of the president of the
United States, who. is charged with the power
of making treaties, though they can become ef:
fective only wheir"ratified by the senate. Mr.
Wilson declines to take such action. He says
- congress has nouthority to make any change
ia a treaty. That is not the point. Congress
has advised the president of the necessity of
having certain treaties modified, that a benefit
may come to a great American industry, and the
president declines to accept that advice. This
' is another very good reason for terminating
one-man rule at Washington.
Omaha as a Hay Market.
' The wanting by the Union Pacific of a
' "Steffi id transit" rate to Omaha hay dealers
will go i long way toward rehabilitating this
city as a primary hay market. The work was
Swell under way when the war dislocated a lot
of things, and the hay -brokerage business here
languished accordingly. As the market center
for one of the greatest hay producing regions in
the world. Omahashould see the business de
veloped to something like the impressive pro
portions it may well assume. Cooperation by
the railroads will aid materially in this,while
the advantage to. the haygrowers of the state
is so apparent as to require no argument. It
means to them an opportunity to sell better
than when the market is farther away and
controlled by conditions of which they have
no information. The Chamber of Commerce
is boosting for the hay market, and it ought
to go over big, and thus add to the growing
conveniences for' doing business in the real
Market Town.
' - Displays of Wealth.
Philip Giubs, in his "People of Destiny,"
starts a train of thought when he says:
Th long, unending line of automobiles
that go crawling down Fifth avenne and rush
ing down Riverside Drive, on any evening of
the year, revealing women all aglitter with
diamonds, with priceless furs round their
white shoulders, in gowns that have cost the
year's income of a working family, has no
parallel in any capital of Europe. There is no
such pageant of wealth in London or Paris.
In no capital is there such luxury as one finds
in New York hotels, mansions and ballrooms.
The evidence of money is overwhelming and '
oppressive.
We are a luxurious people in our cities,
where families, -without homes enjoy many ftf
the costly indulgences of life. However we
may disapprove such expenditures by people
who would speedily find themselves in want if
shut off from employment, they will continue so
long as conditions furnish large salaries or
other earnings to men who have not learned
the principles of thrift; and so long as the
families of men whose earnings are temporarily
large, insist on "living up" to the entire income.
In the large cities displays of wealth have
long been common. People, as a rule, like to
advertise their prosperity, however temporary
or insecure it may be. But the vulgar sort of
display is conspicuously absent from nearly all
who are used to riches. Display is not neces
sary for the men whose achievements are nota
ble, and education and refinement make public
displays of expensive jewels distasteful to
women.
It is also a fact, we believe, that the luxury
of the New York hotels is paid for by visitors
to that city, and not by its rich residents. We
have, as a -people, yet to learn to restrain our
vanity. Many have learned it, and at the same
time made their accumulations a blessing to
thousands of others, by increasing -opportunity
for all, and by using their financial genius to
build up and make prosperous entire communi
America and the League.
Were Rev. Robert Leavens a little more pa
tient, more studious of the signs of the time,
and a little t.iore inclined to generously inter
pret them, he. .would not be so disconsolate over
the outlook for enduring peacej If he con
scientiously feels it may be brought about only
through the League of Nations, we confidently
refer him to the example of William Howard
Taft, "a representative Unitarian" by faith, and
one of the world's leading minds in matters
international, as well as a proven champion of
peace. Mr. Taft has not wavered in his ad
vocacy of the League of Nations, although he
does not believe that its efficient existence rests
solely on acceptance of the Wilsonian docu
ment. That, he believes, would better be modi
fied in some specific particulars, and this he
knows will nbt be accomplished white Wood
row Wilson is president, and probably not if
his successor be a democra. Mr. Taft, there
fore, believes and says the prospect for the
world's peace, for the maintenance of the Amer
ican republic in its long established position of
dignity and leadership, and the entrance of the
United States into a binding agreement with
other nations to do the things that are neces
sary to preserve tranquil, Arderly progress, vis
more secure because it is apparent that Senator'
Harding will be elected president. If Dr.
Leavens will only follow the thought of his
illustrious brother a little more closely, he will
find the genuine consolation in the assurance
that all he hopes for will be brought about by a
republican administration if it be humanly possible.
Revival of a Queer Lunacy.
A dispatch from London affords reason to
think that the fool killer is off the job again. A
young man, said to be a former student of the
tr ri -t rL! i j-j
university ui nicago, . nas just succeeded in
thumping a piano for 106 consecutive hours. ' It
is not fair (o say he "played" the piano, for such
an endeavor, surely transcends the ordinary con?
ception of piano playing, while the account in
dicates that his physical condition during a
greater part of his test was such as would pre
clude any approach to the poduction of chords,
not to mention harmony. Just what is ac
complished by such exhibitions is not easily de
cided. To be sure, it is' a test of endurance, al
though the strength and nervous force so expend
ed might have been employed to some better pur
pose. Science will not be especially advanced
by knowing that , a youth can so stretch his j
faculties; this was proven in 1914, when the
British on4he retreat from Mons fought for 114
consecutive hours against the oncoming Ger
mans. In fact, the power of the human organ
ism for sustaining strain is well known, and it
was not needed that any aspiring youngster
should try to demonstrate the fact by banging
on a piano continuously for four and one-third
days. This craze run its course, in America
long ago; and its reappearance in England al
most leads to the conclusion that John Bull is
following all right but is mighty slow in catch
ing up. . ,

THE chief count against'the Socialist as
semblymen in New York is that they used a
constitutional office to the end of upsetting the
constitution. Nobody objects to a man being
a Socialist, or a Presbyterian, or a Seventh Day
Adventist,' and trying to convert other men to
his way of thinking; what is properly objected
to is the attempt to raise more hell inf a hell
ridden world. Like the early Christians, the
Socialists invite and insist on persecution, and
unless they get plenty of it they are thoroughly
unhappy. ."
THERE is very little unsolicited persecu
tion these days, and that little is of a private
sort. Persecution requires a good deal of en
ergy, and people prefer to devote their energy
to more agreeable ends. Of course, if you ask
for it, like the Christian martyrs, you can have
it. But you have to keep everlastingly at it
and make a jolly nuisance of yourself, until
even, -the lions to which you are thrown sup
press a yawn when they see you coming.

which in its earlier stages necessitated med

continues to come daily, although Mrs.
JAmes feels practically well. Phoebe really
cannot afford to pay a large doctor's bill,

needs his services. What should Phoebe

GOV. COOLIDGE may be interested in an
other example of thrift which we, collected this
summer in a hill town of Massachusetts. Hodge,
the store keeper, was weighing out ten pounds
of tenpenny nails for a customer. The last nail
sent the balance down too abruptly, and yet
without it there was not quite ten pounds; so
he threw, in a shingle nail. "Look here, Hodge,"
said the customer. "I ain't buying shingle nails,
I'm buying tenpenny nails. If you can't make
that last one weigh, bite it in two, damn yel"

Rift. SASSOON'S WAR VERSES.
(John Mlddleton Murry.)
One may convey the chaos of, immediate
sensation by chaotic expression, ai does Mr.
Bassoon. But the unforgettable horror of an
inhuman experience can only be rightly rendered
by rendering also Its relation' to the harmony
and calm of the soul which it shatters. In
this context alone can it appear with that sud
den shock to the imagination which is over
whelming. The faintest discord in a harmony
has within it. an infinity of disaster, which no
confusion of notes, however wild and various
and loud, can possibly suggest. It is on this
that the wise sayfng that poetry is emotion
recollected, in tranquility is so firmly based, for
the quality of an experience can only be given
by reference to the ideal condition of the human
consciousness which it disturbs with pleasure or
with pain. But In Mr. Bassoon's verses it is we
who are left to create for ourselves the har
mony of which he gives us only the moment
of its annihilation. It is we who must be tho
poets and the artists if anything enduring is to
be made of his work. He gives us only the
data. -
THE last word of the above is the key to
the state of mind of our earnest young poets,
or the prevailing state of their minds. They
confuse data with poetry. One remembers a
line -of poetry, but data (as the man said about
water on a duck's back) goes in one ear and
out the other.

HIGH COST OP HOOKWORM
In an address to the American
Public Health association, Dr. Oscar
Bowling said hookworm was
brought to the western hemisphere
by African slaves in 1760. He says
the Continental Coal corporation of
Plnevllle, Ky., found 65 per cent of
their miners Infected with hook
worm. Measures for the control of
hookworm were installed and the
;iext year the same body of men
produced S3 per cent more coal.
A physically sound coffee picker
in Porto Rico picks 500 to 600 meas
ures a day. Pickers infected with
hookworm pick only 150 to 250 a
day. Three hundred laborers on a
cocoa plantation in Ecuador were
so reduced In efficiency by the
worms that they could only work
ono-third of a day. The British
Guiana Sugar Estate reports that
treatment for hookworm doubled
the working power of the gangs. A
mine In California reports that it
costs them )20,0(0 a year to carry
on the payroll men sufficient to re
place those unable to work because
of hookworm anemia. All of this
sets forth the employers' standpoint
Doing any work is a pretty pain
ful process for a man infected with
hookworm. Any effort at all, get
ting up, dressing, feeding them
selves, the necesHary duties of per
sonal hvsrlene. are distasteful and
unpleasant. They are "marked for f
rtst" and breathing is an irksome
fisk.
Examination of school children
infected with hookworm show that
they neither grow properly nor ad
vance in their studies as they
should. .
When persons go barefooted
hookworm is likely to get on and
thn later into the-- skin, causing
ground itch ob dew Itch. Children
who play marples are likely to get
the worms in the skin of their
hands, causing fissures, scratches,
and other kinds of "breaking out"
on the hands.
The worm travels to the Intestines
and there locates. It secretes a mild
poison which, being absorbed,
causes the slowly developing ane
mia, the lack of "pep," and energy
and the general run-down condition
known as hookworm anemia. Any
body is likely to have it in any sec
tion of the country and In any social
level.
To cure it several rounds of
chenopodium "or wormseed is now
the staple remedy. To control the
disease in a community cases are
diagnosed microscopically and
treated with chenopodium. Prem
ises are cleared up and sanitary
privies built.

Bishop Shaylcr's Stand.
Omaha,1 Neb., Sept. 25. To the
Editor of The Bee: Have Just read
the announcement in World-Heerald
of recent date that Bishop Shayler
has forsaken the republican "party
because of its attitude toward the
League of Nations.
He says that ho feels that in falling-
to make an affirmative stand
on thia subject they have shown a
feeling of selfishness. I am curious
to know whether the bishop is
American by birth or adoption. I
believe it does make a difference.
I am convinced that a sort of self
ishness in the interests of one's na
tive land is only another name tor
patriotism and is very excusable. It
was that feeling, selfish if you will,
which inspired the framers lot, the
Declaration of Independence.

from England, where he had heard
Lloyd George An an address declare
that "the . nations, already In the
league would, be disposed to let
America practically have her own
way in entering this world's organ

nation would not be hedged-kbout

Stockmen Have Complaint..
Seneca, Neb., Sept. 24. To the
Editor of The Bee: I am told that
live stock exchanges . are going to
charge the railroads 25 csnts per
car for furnishing them the selling
weightcs of stock, on which freight
charges are assessed. "The railroads
io avoid this charge- are going to
track scale all live stock -beginning
October 1. . ' '
ter great loss and inconvenience if
after arrival at ther market the
stock is kept on the cars from one
to two hours while It's being track
scaled. The stock will not get so
good a "fill" and there will not, In
many cases, be sufficient time to
sort and classify ' the stock before
the market opens.
The stock growers of western Ne
braska are having a pretty hard
time to break even this year without
being made to suffer additional loss
on account of a disagreement be
tween the commission men and the
railroads. Both of these , parties
have recently raised their charges
and now they are fighting over 25
cents, and the stock shipper is the
innocent bystander that gets all the
knocks. '
AH stock men should write their
commission men to try and settle
this trouble before the first of next
imonth. '
