STATE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.
. The opposition, such as it now .amounts
to, to the. republican party fn Nebraska, stops
every once t a while in-its hymn of praUe to
the League of Nations and sets, up a mournful
howl about the "code bill." Now, the code bill
,iivonly a sincere attempt to carry out a man-v-date
from the people to give the state a better
, administration of its business affairs. In the
republican platform of 1918 Nwas contained a
plank whieh definitely and explicitly promised
to institute a reform in public business. It set

... The people accepted this pledge as worth its

to carry'out their pledge. The code bill came
outof this. It is not presented , ai a perfect

" Pitwiii fcur Venr Particular.
; The arrest of an 'alien for having a hunting
. license without having naturalisation papers may
serve to waken up some of the foreign sojourn
ers in our country." It may seem that Uncle
Samuel, is getting a little bit pernicketty about
these matters, but the old gentleman insists that
: certain privileges of life in this favored lfnd are
yet reserved for the exclusive enjoyment of his
nephews and nieces, and are denied to the casual
" Visitor. America is. a good land to live in, to
' make money in, to do a lot of things in that can
not be nearly so well done in others, and these
admitted facts are the very best , possible argu
ment for the preservation of those rights and
privileges through the most jealous watchful
ness. If the resident who was born abroad
wants to participate in the fall shooting itt- Ne
braska, he should proceed to equip himself at
' once with the documents that provt him to have
formally accepted American cilitenship, with its
responsibilities and duties as wellf its privileges
"and pleasures As a taxpayer and voter he will
not be denied 'the right of owning a shotgun,
and, properly licensed, may go forth to slay the'
game birds of the land, just as freely as dflcs the
native born, who is subject to the same restric
tions of the law. Uncle Sam is patient with
the sojourner, but he is also getting more and
more particular about tome things, having
learned one le'sson quite thoroughly during the
last few years.
' Mr. Wilson'i Opponents.
In his appeal to the American people in be
half of the Leafftie of Nations, the president is
rather unfortunate in his selection of words to
characterize those who do not agree with him.
The casual or uninformed reader might gather
the presumption that those, both in and out of
his party, who are listed by Mr. Wilson in his
generalization as being opposed to the league are
ignorant, prejudiced, mentally inferior, or in
some way disqualified for making a decision on
the document and whither itmay lead. Such an
assumption takes in considerable territory.
Among those who do not give adherence to
the president's views are a former president of
the United States and two fbrmer secretaries of
state, cither of whom may 4ell and entirely jus
tify the assertion that he has had some ex
perience in the field ofinternationaI affairs; at
least one istorian as capable if not as popular
as the author of "The New Freedom," and quite
a respectable group of constitutional lawyers,
whose experience and training fits them to ex
amine into and analyze a proposition as closely
and perhaps as exactly as can the president. Any
of these men is entitled to a hearing for himself,
and that they have drawn conclusions that differ1
most materially, from those announced by Mr.
Wilson suggests the possibility of his being mis
taken at least in some sense. Certainly he docs
not seriously challenge the patriotism of Wil
liam Howard Taft, Elihu Root, Senator Knox,
Senator Lodge, Senator Tnomas Senator Smith
of Georgia, Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, or
others who decline to subscribe to his views or
accept the dogma he lays down? ' Many of these
are good democrats, for twenty-three of that
party voted in the senate to accept the Lodge
reservations. '
" Mr. Wilson's appeal is that of a special
pleader. It is aaVoitly phrased,' with the un
happy exception herein noted, cleverly putting
Article X where 'the least possible fight will fall
directly upon it. No word is said as to the can
didacy of Governor Cox, the inference being
that a vote for Cox is a vote for Article X. In
one of liis recenrtalks the governor emphatically
stated that he is the oandidate for president, not
Mr. Wilson. - The president has equally de
clared himself to be but' a "private,"" tacitly
recognizing the Cox leadership. From thisone
might argue that the effecfof the White House
conference, and the pedge then made to re
deem all the promises of the present adminisi
tration, has not worn off, at least not so far as
Woodrow Wilson is concerned, and that Gov
ernor Cox will be expected to do what he then
agreed to. , " - , - ':
At any rate, "the republicans long ago ac
cepted the challenge of the president to th issue
he has name'd, the covenant without dotting an,,
"i" or crossing a "t" or the covenant with such
reasonable interpretative reservations as shall
safeguard American interests at all points. Also,
the letter raises another issue: The platform o&
the party declares in favor of accepting reserva
tions; its candidate has so expressed himself,
and now the president asCs for a vote to support
his unreierved' covenant One migJit think the
democrats are getting mixed up.

of something that would restore his wasted
power. Woman has been left out of it. vNo in
terstitial glands for her, no Brown-Sequa'rd
elixir to warm her chilling pulse, to quicken her
heart bat or restore the faded roses of her
cheeks. She now has her chance, though, and
how simple it is. ' Just a diet of potato peelings
and oatmeal. These are to be rendered palatable
by a proportional admixture of apple parings
and sour milk. Sounds inviting, doesn't it? Yet
we may be pardoned for some skepticism. Our
neighbors to the south, according to an old song,
"Ate 'em skins and all," but so far as known
none have developed immortality', in the flesh,
nor such transcendant beauty as would negate
the comment of Rosalind on the shepherdess,
who "might, without a candle, go dark to bed."

How to Put the National
Game Above Suspicion
To clean up organized base ball and
keep it clean a convincing method has finally
been proposed.
A new national 'commission, composed of
men so high in the confidence gf the, country
that no suspicion could, attach to any organiza
tion they were in charge of that , is th; plan
proposed by A. D. Lasker. part '.wner of tlie
Chicago C'.its, big business ' ,nap ana lover of
the game. The members of the new .commis
sion, if the plan goes through, will be paid 'sal
aries consonant with their position in -the com
munity and the dignity of the office. The. men
whom Mr. Lasker suggests for the .role are
Judge K. M. Landis, William Howard Taft and
Gen. John J Pershing. ' ?
The new commission would be the supreme,
court base ball. All troubles between play
ers, managers and the public which supports the
great game, would be for its final settlement.
And settlement by such a commission would be
final. There would be no chance of cropkedncss
or complaint.
Base ball has been and should remain the
national game. Scratch the skin of any male
American, born or naturalized, and you will
reach enthusiasm for bise ball before you have
drawn blood.
That is why the present scandal is so serious.
It does not affect a class; it touches everybody
the newsboy; the school teacher, the mechanic
and the millionaire. The average boy docs not
think of the world as round; he thinks of it as
shaped like a base ball.
To strike a blow at such an interest as this
was the meanest crime possitye' in sport. Not
the managers, but llie public were sold out.) It
never can happen gain, not ,if the Lasker plan
goes through. .' .
There will be opposition from certain inter
ests. But the feeling that a great wrong can be
wiped put only by a great right will be strong
enough to carry it. Mr. Lasker has started
sornething. The public will put it over. Chi
cago Herald anrf Examiner,
; UTAH UPSETS HEALTH
THEORIES -
For S'ears I have heard speakers
at health nieetlnirs assert that wner
ever there is a iiigh birth ratethe
death rate,'' and especially the baby
death rate, is hirh.
Some even claim that naturo al
ways can bedepended upcm to pre
vent overpopulation. liign Dirm
rate, large families, necessarily nag
lected babies, insufficient family in
come, hard living conditions, baby
sickness, baby deaths, high general
(ttath rate, all, ihey say, naturally
are allied. Compenstion is at work,
they say. They even say a. moderate
birth rate above the average quickly
starts the laws of compensation to
work, and the baby death rate is the
earliest of all reactions.
Especially have I heard the
French Canadians insist that it was
unjust o compare their high baby
death rate with the low baby death
rite of Ontario, because their birth
rate was nearly twice as high as
that bf Ontario, y a motner naa a
dozen, of course, 4he younger ones
must be cared for by the older ones
or be wholly nsiected, and in con
sequence many would die.
The best answer I have run across
comes from. Utah. Of all the states
Utah has the hishest birth rate, the
lowest death rate, and the least sick
ness among its babies. Going back
to 1917 in order to get away from
the abnormal canditions' brought
about by influenza, I find that Utah
had a death rate of 10.3, as com
pared with 14.2 for th country at
large.
lln the same year their birth rate
was 30.3, as compared with 26 for
the country at1 lrge. The birth
rate in the counties inhabited almost
wholly by Mormons was much high
er still. Duchesne had a birth rate
of 62.8, twice that of the country at
large; Garfield, 51.5; Piute, 51.5, and
Washington, 45.
Turning to the reports for infant
mortality, which is almost the same
as infant sickness and almost . the
reverse of infant well-being, we find
that Salt Lake City has the lowest
infant mortality rate of any city of
its size and is surpassed by only 11
cities of any size. In fact, it ranked
50,000 to 100,001) and over In 1917.
First place arnong registratlo states
ru 1917 was held by Minnesota, but
Utah was second.
Looking over their vitality tables
further, I find they rank well as to
all diseases, except typhoid fever
and smallpox. Water isscarce and
the temptation to drink: out of irri
gation ditches is strong. The temp
tation of the cities to use tneir lew
streams for both water supply and
sewage disposal operates to spread
typhoid fever from community to
community.
The Mormon prejudice against
vuccination mak3S this state a reser
voir for smallpox. They feed this
disease to the surrounding states.
It is a pity that the splendid health
record to which the dictatorial Mor
mon power has contributed so much
good Is marred by tneir Daa small

the cause of it?" 1

Have your physician investigate
the possibility of perforating ulcer

Cox and Ireland's Freedom.
Omaha, Sept. 30. To the Editor
of The Bee: Governor Cox says that
K elected president he will, under
article 10, bring the Irish question to
the attention of the league of na
tions as affecting the good under
standing among nations on which
the peace of the world .depends.
Will someone be kind enough to
osk Governor Cox what ho intends
lo do when England tells him the
Irish question is a domestic question
and one with which the league has
absolutely nothing to do?

vember 17, 1783, to Rev. John Nfew-
tcn. said:
"Swift observes, when he Is giv
ing his reasons why the Treacher is
elevated always above his hearers,
that, let the crowd be as great as It.
wWl below, there is always room
enough overhead.
"If ,the French philosophers can
carry their art to the perfection
they desire, the observation may be
reversed, the crowd will be overhead
and they will haye most room who
siaj below.
I can assure you, however, , upon
my own experience, that this way of
traveling is most delightful
"I dreampt, a night or two since,
tha' I drove myself through the up
per regions in a balloon and pair,
with the greatest ease and security.
"Having finished the tour I in
tended, I made a short turn, and
with one flourish of my whip, de
scended without the least danger
to myself or my vehicle.
"The time, we may suppose, is at
hand and may be prognosticated by
my dream, when these airy excur
sions will be universal, when Judges
wilt fly their circuits and bishops-
their visitations, and when the tour
Of Europe will be performed with
much greater speed and with erjual
advantage by all who travel merely
for the sake of saving that they
have made it." A. K. TRINBLIN.
