' NEBRASKA'S RUNNING EXPENSES.
Nebraska s public administration is a big
undertaking, and must be conducted on business
lines. Our people are prosperous, but they also
are thrifty, and like to know just what is be
ing done with the money, and whether it is be
ing spent with proper care. The democrats just
how are indulging in a campaign that is mis
leading, to the extent that they are comparing
Expenditures for the first seven months of 1.920
with those for the similar period in 1918, and
jscekmg to fix attention on the totals alone, with-
out offering any explanation as to the why or'
v neretore of the difference. It is worth inquir
ing into. FromJanuary 1, 1918, to. July 31 of
the same year, warrants were written at 'Lin
coln for the payment of claims against the state
to' the amount of $4,251,275.41, and in the same
j time in 1920 the total is $8,508,168.92, an increase
of a little over 100 per cent. !
This, of course, challenges attention. Let us
look at some figures that come from. the office
of Hon. George W. Marsh, state auditor. They
will show what is back of he story:
State and federal aid 1918 1920

"University 1,168,519.30

1,013,683.04
; ' Totals " 13,532,924.49 . 16,881,104.12
Most of the increase will be found in these
items. Other identified items of state expense
show $20,357.31 for 1918, and $924,337.60 for
1920. -This, makes a total of identified items of
expenditure for the seven months period in 1918
of $3,558,281.80, and for 1920 of $7,805,441.72.
Subtract these from the total of warrants writ
ten' and we find $697,993.61 of unidentified ex
penditures in the 1918 period, representing the
money paid on account of maintenance and op
eration of the state goverment, and $702,727.20
for the 1920 period, an increase for 1920 over
1918 of but $4,733.59,' or less than 1 per cent.
Can any business firm spending $100,000 a
month for ooeration and maintenance show an
, increase of less than 1 per cent for 1920 over
1918?
"v We might be pardoned for inquiring of our
democratic friends which of the several items
they will cut from the main table of expenses
Jn order to save money? Will they abandon
road construction, road maintenance, eradication
of bovine tuberculosis (for which $22,941.98 was
; spent In 1920 and nothing in 1918), social hy
'giene, child- welfare, or will they crippje the
University of Nebraska, the Normal schools, or
the care of the state dependents?
f; Let us be fair about these matters. Expendi
tures are greater than ever before, but the
tmoney is going to good uses, and not to sup
port an extravagant organization of state em
ployes, mainly engaged in peddling political
itlope about the land.. .
i In Old Ohio Today. '
V If you feel something like a swelling of the
earth today, do not be alarmed. Such a mani-
; Testation win DC mcrciy mc rcauu ui vmu iiv-
jing pardonable pride in a purely state achieve
I ment. After having gone out and captured both
t major ana several u iuc iiiutui uuiuui.uuu.
;for the presidency, together with a few' scatter
;J ing presentations for the office of vice president
jand such, the good old mother, stepmother and
(' grandmother of presidents now proposes to ,do
"something entirely unheard of.
In days gone by it has been considered
enough to have the candidates for president to
'remain in one country, under one flag, and speak
one language, while the campaign was going on.
Amenities arc always in order, but the strain
''of circumstances now and then justifies such re
laxation as gives warrant to preserving a
treasonable distance, say of several hundred
: Smiles, between the champions. Today, how
ever, Ohio proposes to have them both on the
r same platform,1 addressing the same gathering.
vtou weDD nayes is rcspunaiuic ivmi ""'h
arrangement, which will culminate near r re
.jnont, Ohio, the occasion being the ninety-eighth
. anniversary of the birth of his father, Ruther
ford B. Hayes, once president of the United
States.
' It is further planned to have Governor Cox
'and Senator Harding, with their wives, as
Oguests of Col. Hayes for luncheon on that day.
rIf you want any further specifications to prove
"that Americans, may get all heated up over poli
tics, and still retain their balance, we will try
to locate them, but this ought to be enough to
.(satisfy anybody at home, and we will let out-
aiders just wonder how we do it.
' "
- Sounds Like Old Times.
Maybe it was 'because of the intense inter
est in the sensational base ball disclosures, but
for some reason we have been deprived of a
' bit of sporting news that might have been rel
J ished. A rider from Ontario, named Spencer,
'carried off the championship honors at the
"world-wide bicycle rates at Newark, N. J., last
i w week. It may surprise yon to know the game
(, still exists, you whose mind goes to me nays
cf the middle 90s, when we ail wore me u.
AyW." pin, and watched eagerly for the latest
jof Eddie "Cannon" Ball's records or the doings
"tof some of the other fast ones of the day. Omabi
had its champions in those days, some riders
who accepted the dust of none. These tre
? staid business men now, concerned in more en-
tossing thiftgs, and only dimlaware that more
.. . . v
nicycies are now made and sold than ever be
fore. The industry has had quite a revival
within the last three or four years, and now with
races once more getting attention may come
back with something like real force. The rid
ers of today have much to thank the pioneers
for, as the wheelmen of the dear old days of the
league were the real promoters of good roads.
They did not leave much in the way of monu
ments, but they didow the seed and the auto
drivers have nurtured it, until the fruit is about
to be enjoyed by all. Much of the joy of cross
country riding will be missed by the modern
wheelman, for he will never know the real
test of the old time dirt road, but if he gets
half as much fun out of the modern highway as
his predecessors did out of the untrammeled
dirt, he will be a happy rider.
' , . .--
Coming Our Way Again.
Twenty-two thousand immigrants have
reached Ellis Island within the last 1wo weeks.
These come from every country in Europe, in
search of what is denied them at hon.e, peace
and a chance to earn a living. If one were so
inclined, quite a sermon on the efficacy of the
League of Nations might be extracted from this.
The fact that these people are turning to Amer
ica, as they did in the days before the war, is
the best argument that could be offered in sup
port of the position of this country. One im
portant lesson of the war should not be for
gotten by Americans. If we are to do away
with the hyphen entirely, and never allow the
foreign group to raise itself to eminence and
power in American affairs again, we must bgin
right away to assimilate the newcomers. To
merely teach them a few of our police regula
tions, and some of-the elementary lessons of
applied politics is not enough. They must be
given a more intimate knowledge of what it is
to be a citizen of the United States, to know
something of the responsibilities as well as the
advantages, to comprehend the duties as well
as the privileges. . This is an undertaking in
which every true American is interested,
whether he be native or an adopted member of
the family. All can work at it, too, by in some
way contributing to the education in citizenship
of the immigrant who now seeks "life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness" here.
Cleveland's Victory Popular.
While every admirer of the grand old game
of base ball sorrows over the downfall of some
of its idols, mpst of them will rejoice with Cleve
land in the victory that has just come. Whether
the White Sox could have finished first need not
be discussed. They were struck down and
their slender chance wiped out by the defec
tion of some of their own members who de
feated any "hope their honest mates might have
held. This in no sense reflects on the Cleve
land crew, who played ball from the start, and
who have stood staunch under the strain of a
strenuous season. The unfortunate death of
Shortstop Chapman might have had the effect
of upsetting even a championship team, but
the Cleveland players showed a proper regard
for the memory of their mate by putting forth
extra efforts to land the prize. This anfl other
factors will make their victory the .more popu
lar Now let the contest for the greater tro
phy, that of the World's Championship, be
fairly pulled off with the Brooklyn team, and
millions of fans will rejoice because the splen
did sport has been rescued from the slough into
which a few unscrupulous gamblers and.
thoughtless players would have plunged it. Base
ball is too big, too fine, too much of an Ameri
can institution, to decline because of a blow in
the back. ' '
A Well-Placed Fine.
A "floater" was fined $15 in one of the
Omaha police courts for wearing a Victory but
ton, it having been proved that he was never
in the military service of the United States. The
fine was well-merited. Just why anybody would
ant td wear a button or other insignia to which
they are not entitled is beyond understanding,
save for the purpose of deceiving the public and
securing consideration to which they are not
entitled. Members ofcret,societies haVe ways
of protecting themselves from impostors
of this sort, for the display of the button is not
taken as proof that the wearer has faced the
goat inside the lodge room. The Victory but
ton is on a little different basis, however. It
was first, and probably still is, granted by the
War department to all soldiers who served with
the colors in any capacity between 1917 and the
armistice. Since the Victory medal has been
issued, an eastern firm has placed the Victory
button on sale, and it must be finding customers.
Recently the American Legion made complaint
in this connection, but it has no power to cor
rect the abuse of the honorable insignia. How
ever, if the police courts throughout the land be
come interested, it may become expensive for
those who avoided wearing- the khaki to as
sume the button.
A soldier at Dubuque returned $25 he won
on the "fixed" base ball games last year. This
is noble, but you need not worry about its be
coming contagious.
It is not easy to get excited 'over the "de
fection" of a few so-called "progressive re
publicans" who voted for Wilson in 1916.
The "faith healer" is having the unusual ex
perience of not getting crowds. Is Omaha get
ting wise?
Cox says he is "coasting in." He's going
down hill, all right.
The police judge is also after the mashers.

The Catbird.
The catbid thinks he owns the place
Because he comes along
And with an air of jaunty grace
Proceeds to sing a song.
No thought of mortgages has he,
Nor taxes that are due;
The well, the garden and the tree
Are his the summer through. .
He sometimes scolds us from the shade,
Where he delights to sit;
He thinks that human work was made
All for his benefit.
There's naught would tempt us to efface
His confident delight, .
The catbird thinks he owns the place ,
And maybe he is right!

, THE assumption is that Venus Handy is the
name of the' barber in Hart, Mich. But it may
mean that the barber shop has a manicure in at

which the dissolute nobleman scattered gifts of
diamond necklaces, blooded horses, and other
expensive commodities among the ladies he had
betrayed, we. wondered how his money held out.
And when now we read of the gifts bestowed on
modistes by New York financiers, the same art
less wonder fills us.

The Heathen Chinese.
A Chicago banker has found to his surprise
that from a racial standpoint the Chinese were
the most satisfactory depositors. They had
the largest average accounts and the bank had
never had any trouble or controversy with any
of them. They asked no favors that the bank
could not grant to its own advantage and they
were willing to pay liberally for all accomo
dation. They worked hard, saved their money,
took care of their own people and minded their
own business. To that extent, at least, they
were ideal citizens. They never loafed or begged.
There are not many Caucasian races represented

are all for equality, both ways, the ladies must
use the general cages, and women tellers have
also been introduced to wait upon the men. But

agreeable to all concerned. The ladies are quite
content to be treated as fellow-men. Los An

LITTLE HOTHOUSE
BLOSSOMS.
People go south in winter to get
cool.
, We keep our houses so hot that
we must go out to get cool. But
"out," unwilling to meet us half way,
serves up a temperature of aero.
W,e go south because we can stay
out of the hot houses and still escape
zero temperatures. The sunshine of
the outdoors kills oft the bacteria
and we escape the usual winter crop
or colds, sore throats and coughs.
Stefansson brings us proof of the
effect of the high heat of the indoors
In his story of the early maturity of
Eskimo girls in Alaska, 300 miles
north of the Arctic circle.
It is common information that
girls mature early in tropical coun
tries. The commonly accepted -theory
is the heat. In such countries
vegetation grows rank and animals
grow up like mushrooms.
Early maturity, far from being
limited to human kind, is general In
both animal and vegetable king
doms. Then why do the Eskimo
girls mature early? Stefansson tells
us that it is because they keep their
houses very hot in winter. The in
door temperature of the typical Es
qulmo hut is always over 80 degrees
and frequently passes 90.
Very little air is allowed to enter
because of the extreme cold of the
outside. A fire burns in the hut and
the smoke adds to the discomfort
The humidity is high. On coming in
from the outside all clothing is re
moved from the trunk and arms and
the occupants sit around clad only in
leggings and footwear. In spite of
this state of near nudeness their
bodies are wet with perspiration.
The men are out of doors a good
part of their time since they hunt,
spear fish, and gather wood, They
do not mature so early. The women,
on the other hand, stay Indoors
nearly all day long during the cold
season.
Stefansson found that the Indians
with whom he came in contact in the
far north were insufficiently clad and
poorly, housed, and in consequence
suffered from cold. When Influenza
got among the Eskimo in the winter
of 1918-'19 it played havoc.
In- no other group of our people
did it play so much havoc. The gov
ernment was called upon for help.
and it rushed doctors and nurses as
far as possible, but the supply was
limited, our society badly out or
gear, so when the help arrived it
found a large part of the population
almost beyond help.
Pnrlfvlnsr Tirlnkinir Water.
C. U. writes: 1. "How tang should
water be boiled to make it pure for
drinking?
2. "Is it safe to use ice in it?
3. "Is there danger in milk at
this time?
4. "What other precautions should
be taken against typhoid?"
REPLY.
1. It is enough to bring it to a
boil. Another method is to take one
gallon of water and pour out one
quart. Heat the three quarts until
it boils well, add the quart of cold
water, permit the mixture to stand
for 20 minutes, then chill. Water
boiled in this way is not flat.
2. Yes, fairly so.
( 3. The danger of infected milk Is
always increased by an infected wa
ter supply. The palls, cans, bottles,
etc., are washed in the suspicious
water.
4. Boiling the water and pasteur
izing the milk is about all you need
to do.

Reply.
This is a question on which doc
tors disagree. If any one disagrees
with what I write about it he can get
a stack of doctors to back him up.
The person who takes no fluid with
his meals will chew his food thor
oughly. There is gain from thor
ough chewing. That is about all
that can be said against the drinking
of moderate quantities of fluid with
meals. One usual objection to drink
ing water namely: that it dilutes
the gastric juice1 unduly applies
also to coffee, milk, beer and all
other liquid and semi-liquid foods.
I see no objection to the moderate
drinking of water with the meals
provided it is not used as a means
for the extensive gulping pf food.
On the ether hand, if one eats a
heavy meal moderate water drinking
aids digestion.

Jerry on tho Job.
Omaha, Sept. 24.tTo the Editor
Of Thq.Bee: The press is the watch
dog of civilization, and as an advo
cate of freedom, and civilization I
extend my heartfelt thanks to The
Omaha Bee for tho articles in today
and yesterday's issues headed "Reign
of Terror in Irish Towns." "People
of Balbriggan Creep Back." It ap
pears Lord Northcliffe's enormous
propaganda fund "did not frighten
The Bee politically ' or otherwise
wherein the first pages are given
over to the exposure of the nefarious
crimes committed In Ireland by the
Invading army of England. I had
an idea that President de Valera'a
visit and Archbishop Mannlx's tour
through here opened the eyes, ears
and mind of these Irish -Americans
who Irave been led astray for dec
ades by bogus leaders. It seems by
their apathy that they neither see
nor comprehend the situation in Ire
land. I am curious to know the
causo of this indifference! What do
tleir fellow citizens think of them?
The Irishman who is indifferent to
the constitutional assassination of
Ireland is a danger and a menace to
the perpetuity of our American in
stitutions. Can it be possible that
Father Bernard Vaughan's English
theology or something else prevents
them from participating In Ireland's
claim for freedom? Every reput
able American citizen is in favor of
Ireland's emancipation.

Editor of , The Bee: Not having
heard any whining from Jerry How

that he has seen how foolish it was
t- try to stir up any trouble between
the two greatest countries in the
world. I noticed in his last letter
to The Bee that he started off on one
subject, but it was only a few lines
and then off on to the old Irish ques
tion again. I have been wondering
where Jerry was at during 1917 and
1918 while some of us were over in
that mud and the rest of the mess,
"Making the World Safe for the
Democrats." '
I served with the royal engineers,
British army, and I can Inform
Jerry that there are a lot of things
tnat he could learn from first hand
Information right on the ground. I
wonder if he knows that the Irish

sltion in December, 1918? If he will
look into the matter he will tinri that
there was an election held and that
titter tho votes were counted it was
found that southern Ireland voted
for home rule and that northern Ire
land voted to stay with the mother
country.
On looking further we find that
most of the real farmlnR is curried on
in northern Ireland and hero we find
the farms well developed and the
people Industrious and law Abiding
and anxious to live in peace and at
tend to their own business. Instead
ot loafing and boozing around they
have cleared the swamps and are
producing food and have something
else to think about besides looking
for trouble. When it was seen by
the Seln Fein that they could not get
possession of the real farming and
better part of Ireland, they would
not listen to any other proposition.
England would gladly settle that
question If thero would only be some
superman come along who could
make enough sense out of It so that
it could be settled intelligently.
Now if it should so happen, that
Jerry is able to sit up and take
nourishment, after reading these few
lines, I will endeavor to enlighten
him as to the brutality of some of
th. same people, who are walking
the streets of America with a uni
form and a star and a club. I honor
to see him break out in print again
soon.

Sternly the prosecuting counsel
cross-examined the witness for the
defense. At last the latter got so
confused that instead of replying
audibly to one question he nodded
his head.
Whereupon the counsel demand
ed sternly:
"Why don't you answer the ques
tion?" "I did answer it," the witness re
plied. "I nodded my head."
"Yes," was the retort. "I heard it
rattle, but could not tell whether it
was up or down or fronv side to
side." London Answers.
