The promise made by Senator Harding that when elected he will see hat congress is re stored to its proper place in the government of the United States, exfrcising its constitutional powers, and functioning as it should , as the direct representative of the people, is received by the democrats, with great affectation of de-' rision. Those who have watched the course of b me uoay since mi can well understand how a i democrat may doubt that a congressman, or 'I senator should be anything but a rubber stamp, i voting "aye" or "nay" as the dictator at the .White House indicates, but a few old-fashioned citizens still cling to the idea that the tCon jjjstitution of the United States is a living thing, Sand that under it the congress has a place in the government just as important as that of the -'executive. ;j! It was an unfortunate thing for the coun- try that the last congress under President Taft f was cnnrrnllpfl hv do ilmnz-riio TI..1 UJ.. " J WVtllVVIBlSi AIIAV UVUJ inspired by a narrow partisanship, did many t things that reacted against, the public interest, j.and some of which have since had to be undone Sby the democrats, 'always, however, at the be j hest of the president. For example, it rejected the Aldrich-Vrceland bill, which was later made ijjinto law under the name of Carter Glass and li the Federal Reserve bank came forth; Taft's conciliation treaties were rejected by the sen rate, which later on ratified such of them as Mr. Bryan was able to renew; the Tariff commission ,4 was abolished, only to be restored at the de imand of President Wilson, and so on down the line. Measures for the building up of our navy .were abandoned, ! the whole construction pro gram being set aside, leaving the country in such jexposed condition as cost the taxpayers billions -when the democrats set about in haste to rectify the mistake. ' WnnHrnw YVilcnn'c r.t .. , . , .iiiasKc iu congress i earned for him the sobrioui-t of "Th a -- w w wiivvt j master," its tone being that of a teacher to his class. Until we actually entered the war, con gress slavishly did the bidding of the president, undertaking nothing without his approval in ad vance, and opposing him only when, in the fall .of 1915, he decided to enter upon a prepared ness program, which . he promptly abandoned when certain leaders in . the house and senate voiced their disapproval of his plans. After the declaration of war on Germany the most im portant measures offered by the administration -for the winning of 'the war received their ef fective support from the republicans and were .most vigorously opposed by democrats. ;f In 1918 the people took entire control of con gress away from the president. He could no longer dictate how the members should vote save those of his own party, the majority of Whom still follow him blindly, ..but he could exercise his veto power and has, the disapproval of a budget bill, designed to effect the longed for economy in government affairs, falling before his disapproval. He proposes to nullify the Jones shipping act, intended to restore to full usefulness the American merchant marine, by refusing to obey provisions of a law signed by himself. The sugar calamity overtook the na tion because the president would not enforce the Lever law, nor the McNary law, passed ex pressly to save the country from the profiteers. , The record shows that under Woodrow Wil son congress has functioned only when the pres ident has permitted, and just to the extent he would allow. Senator Harding holds out the promise that our country is going back to the constitution, and! that the co-ordination between the legislative and executive powers will be restored. We believe the people earnestlyde sireT this relief. Tfty have had enough of one man government. Moving Omaha Nearer the Coast That the New York jChamber of Commerce has protested against the St. Lawrence ship , canal project does not mean that this would be a bad thing for the grain growing regions of the United States, but merely that this would cut the toll exacted by the handling interests at the Atlantic ports and the railroads that run between. The suggestion that the Omaha-Chamber of Commerce actively work for the adoption of this international plan to bring ocean freight ers within 500 miles of Omaha is worth con sideration. The railroads are now incapable of moving the crops as fast as is necessary for the needs of the producers. With the Atlantic ocean brought, as it were, 1,000 miles west, and Chi cago turned into a seaport, each freight car could make three trips to the -loading point, while now iris, making one. Immigrant ships could bring their human cargoes into the heart of tha nation, where their labor is needed for agriculture, instead of leaving them to congest the Atlantic coast Simply because Chicago and some of the other cities on the Great Lakes would be bene fited, and ships now putting in at New York and Canadian ports would pass by and come closer to the world's market basket furnishes no adequate reason for objecting to the plan Freight rates would be lowered by water trans , portation and the whole central' part of the country would be the gainer. The water power generated by the proposed canals and dams ftdtuld help solve the fuel shortage Lb lac east I and eventually repay the entire cost of con struction. Development of water transportation is pledged in platforms of both political parties, and the Omaha Chamber of Commerce has a committee on railroad and water transportation that might well start a campaign to popularize the Great Lakes to the sea waterway project. Waging War on Lenroot. Out of the maze of local complications which obscure the political situation in Wisconsin one fact stands out baldly. The forces that are op posed to republican policies are bending every effort to secure the defeat of Irvine L. Lenroot. a who was elected two years ago to succeed to the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Husting. At that time the president of the United States thrust his personality into the campaign, en deavoring to assist the democrat to election, a step that was promptly and properly rebuked by the voters of Wisconsin. At the primaries this year Lenroot triumphed over the opposition headed by LaFolIette, who has since then brought out a ticket of his own, heading it with the candidate rejected by the voter; in favor of Lenroot. This act of political treachery is ample notice to the republicans as to what they may expect from LaFolIette, whose term expires in 1923, and who undoubtedly is looking ahead to a campaign on his own' ac count in 1922. If he can encompass the defeat of the party's nominee, at this time, securing the choice of his own man, he will be strategically much firmer situated when his own turn for re election comes. However, there is more than the personal equation involved in the Wisconsin situation. Lenroot showed himself possessed of uncommon ability when serving in the house, and would un doubtedly have been the. leader of the republican majority on the floor, had he remained there. In the senate this ability brought him rapidly to the fore, and he was an active and able par ticipant in all the work of that body during the closing months of the Sixty-fifth congress and the sessions so far held of the Sixty-sixth. His renomination was hailed with delight by the sup porters of good government, without regard to party, and these confidently look to Wisconsin to vindicate its judgment by sending him back to the senate, where he has been genuinely useful to the American public. He should not be listed among the victims of Robert Marion LaFol lctte'S ambition to rule or ruin. . In the Next Legislature. , While the interest of Ncbraskans ill the nut- come of the national election is paramount, pub lication by the secretary of state of a Hat of filings by candidates for the legislature reminds us that the voters of the state have another im perative duty. They must exercise great care in selection of the men who are to make the laws. Some unusually vital legislation will be presented at the coming session, especially in the matter of enacting statutes necessary to give full effect to the constitutional amendments recently adopted. Many of those amendments tl9V tlM CMlkl.Hn. .f ......A-. 1 I . ... ovmumutc vi statutes as iney stand, but all require the needed enactment to give them vitality. This job alone will take up con siderable time of. the assembly, and demands that voters scrutinize closely the men who are offered as candidates for the legislature. Doug las county republicans have occasion to con gratulate themselves on the choice made at the primary, for they have presented a ticket that is composed 'of men who will compare .favorably with any group ever offered by the county. It has legislators of experience, who are familiar not only with the routine of the body, but who are likewise acquainted with the needs of the state, the county and the city, and who can be depended upon to do faithfully and well the work entrusted to them. Voters should keep this in mind, for Douglas county, is intensely in terested in the matters that will be settled at Lincoln during the coming winter. Many Years to Recover. A famous Danish statistician estimates the cost of the world war tot the human race at 35,000,000 lives. This number equals the present population of France. Although the number of American lives lost was 116,492, the nations who entered the conflict at the beginning suf fered much more heavily. The total number killed in action or dead from wounds is set at 10,000,000 men by the Danish estimate. The increase in mortality among the civilian popu lation during the war is set at 5,000,000. The largest item is ascribed to the loss of 20,000,000 human beings due to -abnormal decrease in the birth rate. Famine ,and epidemics made the deaths in Austria, Hungary, .Poland, the Balkans and Russia larger than those of France, which suf fered most severely of the allies. Its popula tion is said to have decreased 7 per cent. French men between the ages of 20 and 44 decreased at the Tate of 20 per cent 'This leaves the ratio of women to men in that nation 126 to 100. One of the world's leading eugenic author ities declares that if will take France 65 years to recuperate its manpower. Germany, it is said, will require 15 years, England 10 years and Italy 30 years to get back to normal population. Figures such as these impress the fact that the world will never be the same again. The losses and" destruction of war fell alike on the just and unjust. Readjustment and. restoration are.not to be expected in a day, and the memory of this conflict will for many years exert a restraining influence on international misunderstandings. Washington is seriously &k ivcd .by Senator Kenyoh's suggestion that some of the govern ment departments be moved to the middle west. The rent profiteers charge him with wanting to put the national capital in Sioux City to get even with them. If low rents are the requisite for a national capital, what city, east or west, could qualify? : ' The way the street Railway company is building warrants the . belief that it does not expect Fa mam street to be abandoned as a thoroughfare. With 251,000 car loads of corn to be hauled, say nothing of other things, the railroads needn't worry about business in Nebraska. , This is, one year in Nebraska when 'a repub lican is absolutely justified in voting the ticket straight.

OUR favorite poetical diagnostician and prognostician, Mr. Mark Sullivan, considers every day from now until election a dangerous 'day for the Republicans: something may hap pen, heaven knows what. We don't know how Mark is standing the suspense, but it is worrying us sick. - NOTHING less than sensational is Senator Edge's declaration that "we have clearly estab lished that there have been violations of the corrupt practices act of Ohio." We are, now prepared to be stunned by the statement that there has been crookedness in Rhode Island and Connecticut. SAYS Lloyd George, "The treaty of Ver sailles is better than none, and only party war fare in the United States has prevented America from accepting it."

Along the western hills of life the light Flames high, the clouds like dying embers glow; Within the purple valleys, far below. The voice of wind is heard, announcing night Now three peaks darken, still one lofty height Gleams fitfully, while one huge cloud doth show Great bales of bloom, as it to earth would tow Cargoes of rose, to keep remembrance bright. And now the sun is gone; the fragrant hour Weeps dew, and home the pensive dreamer fares, Within his heart such peaco as nature gives, And in his mind, if not life's (ires, a flower More strangely sweet than scents Arabian airs A hope that, as the shadows deepen, lives.

Tha, children who must be pro tected against all contagion are the babies under 2. If a child can be carried beyond ,2 without contracting contagion, the child is not very likely to die from any form of communica ble disease. , Contagion is most prevalent among children under ichool age. It prob ably Is more prevalent among babies under 2 than it is among school children. These are the conclusions of a report made by Dr. George T. Palmer of the Detroit, health depart ment 1 What Dr. Palmer did was to tabu late the ages of all persons reported to the Detroit health department as having had any form of contagion over a period of years. ' His method differed somewhat from the method employed by Hill In Minnesota, Henderson In London, Ontario, and the superintendent of the rural school of La Crosse county, Wisconsin, What these did "was to use the Schools to get a complete contagion history of each school child, what formi of contagion he or she had suffered from, and at what age. Dr. Palmer's study showed one fifth of all the whooping .cough was In children under 2, or about 10 per cent a year. Children below S had 61 per cent of all the whooping cough. This fugtired about 12 per cent a year for each year between 2 and S. Those children who have had whooping cough before they go to school need not worry the teacher when whooping cough is In the neighborhood. Nevertheless, in Detroit one-third of all the whoojplng cough was In children 5 to 10. Since St per cent of the whooping cough was In chil dren under 10. there Is no reason why parents, teafihers and employ ers of persons over 10 should worry about whooping cough. Of the chil dren 1 who contract whooping cough one-fifth die. If the disease is avoided until the child reaches 3 the chance of death is one in 60. At 10 it is one In 300. Fourteen per cent of the measles is In babies under 2; 61 per cent in children under 5, and 89 per cent in children under 10. Of the babies under 1 wlthameasles 27 per cent, more than one-fourth, die. Measles In babies between 1 and 2 was one half as fatal, 15 per cent. In chil dren 4 years old enly one In 100' die. As to the entire list of contagious diseases the teaching was about the same. A fair proportion of the cases occur in babyhood; many children are already immune when they start to school. When the child reaches 10 he has had about all the conta gion he is due tq have. And, finally, contagion should be staved off as long as possible because the older the child the better his chance of recovery. ' Avoid Gloating Over Pains. a . V nrvltaa. ft Whnr MURea ad.

The First National Bank long tgo realising that this recogni tion was bound to come, made ample banking provision for women. The Women's Department of the First National is not a make-shift. Ir was designed by our architects exclusively for women. It is a sep arate department, where the same careful attention is given to every detail as is accorded in the main banking room.
