WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS.
When you go to the polls on tomorrow you
will assist in deciding some of the most mo
mentous and important istucs ever presented to
Americans. Your vote will express your view!.
towards your country's future, not for just a
few days or a single presidential term, but per
haps for generations. It will also record your
verdict as to some things that have lately been
done in your name.
You wilt be choosing between continuing a
futile debate over a treaty provision and the
solemn pledge of a great party and its candidate
to bring peace with honor and security to the
republic.
You will make a choice between a scheme
that contains danger for the United States and
a definite (lan for an association of nations in
agreement ito prevent war.
You will give your support to a party pledged
to keeping up the existing confusion in public
and private affairs, and one that promise to
set up order as rapidly as permanence of build
ing will permit. ,
You will have your opportunity to endorse
the recklessness of the Wilson administration
in handling war undertakings, orOu can rebuke
the bunglers who permitted these things, and
made possible the aircraft scandal, the Muscle j
Shoals mess, the Nitro spree, and all the long
list of costly adventures from which only the
war profiteers gained anything.
You can give your approval to the muddling
of management after the war, that has enabled
the manipulation of pricet so that while wheat
and corn and meat and the like havejjone down,
and the farmer is getting less than ever for his
product, coal and sugar and others things needed
in the home went sky-high, or you can vote to
do away with such government and put in one
that wiil deal with facts and not with dreams.
If you think the record of the democratic
party deserves further commission in power; if
you are content with the way rturleion has
run the postoffice; if you are happy over the
way Daniels has handled the navy; if Creel's
record of admitted mendacity is satisfactory to
you; if the deception and duplicity that has
characterized the' entire course of the adminis
tration accords with your views of decent, gov
ernment, you can express such views, by voting
for Cox. , -
However, if you are in line with real Ameri
cans who deprecate and resent the chicanery,
the pompous pretence and pitiable performance,
the "vision"'that can embrace the woes of the
world, but fails to observe the problems that
beset the home folks; in a word, if you are
weary of Wilsonism and all that it contains,
you have the promise of relief in a vote for
Harding.
You vote on Tuesday will be the most im
portant you have ever cast at a presidential
election, for It will help to decide whether it is
America first or Eui'ope-r-our own affairs or
those of a bankrupt world outside.
Mr. Bryan's Silence.
On the Saturday night before election for
many years William Jennings Bryan hat spoken
in Omaha, carrying his message kto thousands
who honor him for his own attributes, regard
less of party. He has preached the gospel of
democracy to more people than any other living
man. This time the silver tongue did not drip
with honeyed phrases, nor swing with sonorous
clamor in behalf of the candidates of the party
.ft has served so faithfully for JO years.
Vir. Bryan is reported to have made the
finest effort of his life in his appeal to the con
vention at San Francisco. He was battling for
his idea of right, of justice, of decency, for a
nominee he might be able to defend before the
world. Murphy, Nugent, Taggart. Brennan and
their cohorts derided him, flouted him, hooted
him, and dragooned the delegates into voting
for the man Mr. Bryan said wat the least fitted
and poorest qualified of all whose names were
before the body. The "big four" bosses took
vengeance for Baltimore; the party broke away
from Bryan and lined up tack of Tammany.
Yet some of them expected that Mr. Bryan would
swallow the insult, stultify his convictions, set
aside hit- sense of honor and obligation, and at
least give Cox the lip support that has flown
so freely from others who were there.
They did not know the Great Commoner as
well as they thought. He has kept his own
.standing in the party unassailable; while he has
not supported its nominee, he has not openly
opposed iiim. When the democrats gather in
convention in 1924, Mr. Bryan will be there,
his judgment vindicated and his influence en
hanced, but, oh, brethren, what wouldn't the
Coxites have given if Mr. Bryan had followed
his custom and closed the campaign at Omaha

Pay Attention to the Peanut.
When the Wall street capitalist told Colonel
Carter of Cartersville that his proposed railroad
would carry nothing, but "peanuts and niggers,"
he deeply offended the good old Virginian.
However, if the colonel's railroad was required
to carry all the peanuts that now enter into
the commerce of the United States, it would
be a pretty busy little bit of track. In 12 states
56,000,000 bushel of the more or less popular
"goober" were havested this fall. These are
valued at $100,000,000 on the farms where they
wen raised. What they will be by the time
they have been roasted, shucked, and doled out
at the attenuated "nickel's worth" of the prejent
day can not even be guessed at. Not all of
them will go that way, however, for they enter
into food combinations in many other forms.
Peanut butter, peanut oil, hatns from pigt that
fed on peanuts, and a lot of other ways have
been found for getting folks to eat the fruit
of the vine that is playing a great share in the
prosperity of a region that once was looked
upon as hoplessly the land of poor white trash
and shiftless darkies. A little examination into
that adaptability of the crop has brought it up
to a point of respectability, and the next time
you refer to something as being of the peanut
variety, just remember that nine figures as
sembled after a dollar mark are needed to in
dicate what this, once disdained and neglected
thing has come to mean to the country's agri
cultural wealth.
Blind Opposition to the Waterway.
. The proposal for an international seaway
from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic is no new
thing. As long ago as 189S. when the first con
vention of the International Deep Waterways
association was held in Cleveland, this plan was
urged upon the governments of Canada and the
United States by men qualified to speak from
expert knowledge of the subject. Powerful in
fluences, among which were those inspired by
the fear that if the west were allowed free access
to the sea the commerce of the port of New
York would be injured, kept this plan in abey
ance for 25 years, but has in that time only
gained strength for final victory. All the old
arguments are being brought forth at a hear
ing this week in which the New York Cham
ber of Commerce is protesting before the in
ternational commission that is investigating the
desirability of the new ship canal.
Transportation can never be too cheap, and
to the unprejudiced observer the hostility, of
the eastern interests appears unwarranted. One
of the greatest foes of water transportation in
the United States has been the railroads. Yet
in those countries where land transportation has
been supplemented by water routes, the rail
roads have not ceased to prosper.
Ships and freight trains do not do exactly
the same work. They do more than compete
each aids and complements the other. The ef
fect of water transportation is to reduce the
volume of bulky, slow freight carried by land
and to increase the higher classes of freight car
ried by rail, on which the lines depend for most
of their earnings. It is admitted that the task
of handling the western harvests has grown too
heavy for the railroads, and ship lines would, in
addition to lowering the cost of exporting grain,
lighten the necessity for greater outlays of capi
tal in railroad equipment than traffic receipts
warrant.
Twenty-five years ago, at that first conven
tion in which the Great Lakes canal project
was discussed, Emory R.! Johnson of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, recognized today as
an authority on transportation problems, dealt
thus with the opposition of the railroads to the
development of waterways:
In their ultimate analysis, the interests
and welfare of society and the railroads are
the same. The highest industrial organization
and the most rapid industrial 'progress require
the use of all means of transportation and
communication railways, waterways and
other agencies. The increase of the means
of transportation and communication are the
sure signs of economic progress. Likewise
the development and successful evolution of
the railroad system depends upon the variety
and rapidity with which society advances in
dustrially. The benefits are mutual and recip
rocal. What is for the ultimate good of so
ciety is for the welfare of the railroads.
If this applies to the railways of America,
how much more it must apply to the various
sections of the country itself. The welfare of
the west as it is increased is bound to result in
benefit to all other parts of the country. The
shortsighted prejudices of sectionalism have
held back this great plan by which ocean ves
sels could approach within 500 miles of Omaha
for a quarter of a century. Surely this spirit of
jealousy cannot now overcome the demonstrated
benefits of the opening up of a cheaper and
more direct route to, the markets of the world.
Mrs. Vincent Astor, in the interest of Amer
icanization work, recently came up New York
harbor in the steerage with the commissioner
of immigration. Desiring to understand the
mental attitude of the incoming alien, she went
through all the regular examinations at Ellis
Island destined to keep out undesirables. She
was tested for trachoma, literacy and everything
else. This is taking a risk that not all of us
would feel safe in doing. j

The bill of $750,000 for rouge, powder and

they are not getting all that is coming.

too large? Then let us show you one room and

that publishers cannot get songs that are
worth 30 cents let me say that I have from
75 to 100 of the finest songs that have ever
been written. These song's will compare
favorably with any of the songs of the great
poets, Including Robert Burns, Tom Moore,
Lord George Byron, W. J. Meekle, Florence
Percy and Stephen Foster. Everyone of
"these songs is of my own composition, and
I am at this time completing a volume of
poetry that will compare favorably with
any of the above stated poets. I have the

Adventure,
When Auntie Bess came here to stay,
I went down town with her one day,
And when her errands were all done
We had ice cream and Jots of fun.
And then we took a street car back,
I wondered, there beside the track,
Why I had never known before
I rode upon a dinosaur.
For now I saw that It would look
Just like the picture in my book.
I almost trembled when it came,
With trail of dust and breath of flame.
,And as it tore along the rails,
- Its windows all were shining scales;
Its wheels were clutching, might feet
That seemed to claw and scratch the street.
But when we once were safe Inside
I felt a sort of happy pride
To ride the monster up and down
So calmly through the busy town.
And from my swaying, swinging seat
I mocked the people on the street.
While motor cars like bugs would fly
To safety as we snorted by. IRIS.

Skokle.
(To Anchusa.)
Where flows the muted Skokle now
The leaves are falling, falling fast,
And over steam, and over bough
And field, a dreaminess Is cast;
While far and wide the country-side
Grows pensive in a purple haze,
As Autunm, like an Easter bride,
Comes up along her ancient ways
And wakes to wonder and to praise.
And were It not that In my heart
The harvest of the year is piled,
To see wan Summer thus depart
I were perchance not reoonclled;
- Yea, standing here beside her bier,
My tears to fall would never cease
Did I not -know that far and near
Her reign had brought her kingdom
peace
More golden than the Golden Fleece.

MEASLES IN THE ARMY.
Dr. J. R. Gerstley was a specialist
on diseases of babies when he be
came an army eurgeon. Since his
superior offiorr hud no babU-s for
this baby specialist to treat, he as
signed him to tha care of baby
diseases. In the army In war times
measels la a very important disease
more important even than it is In
a family of young children.
In the winter of 1917-18 Dr. Gerst
loy saw a lot of soldiers sick with
the measles, Many of them devel
oped pneumonia and some of them
died. From hin experience there he
learned sosne things and these things
ne is wlHBig to pass on to others.
In the first place, not everybody
has the measles. The army ex
perience taught that a very large
percentage ,of country boys and a
fair proportion of town boys g?t to
be 20 years old without having had
measles. This Pr. Gerstley did not
learn for the first time from the
war, for It is a matter of common
information that many people escape
measles. S
In the second place, the older the
child when he has measles the better
his chance of getting well. The death
rate of those who have measles is
much reduced when the disease is
postponed until the child has
reached school age or older. Here
are two good reasons a mother
should shiold her young brood from
measles as much as possible. This
Dr. Gerstley knew before he went
into the army.
He learned that the soldiers with
measles who developed disease were
those who were overworked, fatig
ued, physically exhausted.
Another group that were very
suscepto pneumonia after measles
were those who gave a history of
previous pulmonary disease; for ex
ample, asthma, chronic bronchitis,
repeated attacks of bronchitis, fre
quent colds, pneumonia, tuberculosis
and pleurisy.
Another group that were very
susceptible were those with pigeon
breast, hatchet chest, barrel chest
and poor chest development general
ly. And finally there was a group of
measles cases that he could piok
out as headed for pneumonia by the
way they acted mentally.
When a patient developed meas
les Dr. Gerstley thought he should
be completely isolated, more to pro
tect him against pneumonia germs
of others thaji to protect others
against his measles germs.
The room should be properly
heated and veijtilated. The attend
ant should be scrupulously clean,
free from bronchitis and coryza and
giving no history r.f frequent colds.
There is a lot In this for mothers
to learn. When measles is around
they should guard extra carefully all
children with poorly developed
chests and all children very sub
ject to colds. They should see that
their children are not overworked
and fatigued. And finally, if any
get measles the tiatients should be
well Isolated in a well ' ventilated,
heated room attended by a very
cleanly, healthy person.

H. D. L. writes: "Will you please
let me know what chronic dilation
of the heart means? What causes
it? Will one live long affected with
it?"
REPL"5.
In dilatation of the heart the
organ is larger than 'normal and the
increase in size is due to increase
in the size of the cavities. It gen
erally results from disease of the
heart tnuscle or the heart valves, or
overwork of overstrain. A person
with a dilated heart may live to
reach a ripe old age, provided he
regulates his life properly.
AuuIj.sIh of the League.
York, Neb., Oct. 27. To the Editor
of The Bee: As Governor Cox has
come and gone It is not out of place
to take his measure especially if we
use his own tapeline, and measured
by thut he is found wanting in the
very essentials thai are vital factore
In the making uf a statesman of
presidential size. He shows that In
several ways. One Is the making
charges that he cannot prove and
when he Is called on to give his
proof to say he has not the time
let the others disprove it. That is a
fine way for a man to act that Is
aspiring to be president of the
United States, and then whine like i
j baby because the other fellows don't
fight lair; that the papers are not
Kivins him space and boost enough
or as much as he thinks he should
have, but that is due to the differ
ence of opinion between he and them
I as to his worth.
! Then he is playing two losing
cards in this game, one is his charge
of that big slui'h fund with which
he is to be buried in defeat by the
corrupt use of it in buying up the
electorate for his opponent. In the
first place, the charge Is an Insult to
every decent democrat In the coun
try. Because It is either a charge
or an admission that his party is a
set of corrupt sell-outs and that thev
will sell their votes to the republic
an committee if they will offer them
tho money. I just wonder how they
like that. You can guess by this
time h'ow I would like it.
The second card is his stand on
the league of nations. He says he
Is in complete accord with Mr. Wil
son on that, yet he says he Is in
favor of Interpretative reservations
to safeguard the United States.
Shades of Mr. fttraddlebug, come
over us. Yes, sure, that is-all Mr.
Lodge and 25 of his democratic
senators wanted and the only differ
ence between them was what they
thought was safe and what was risk
and what was doubt and uncertainty
Mr. Wilson took a swing around
the circle to enlighten the people as
to what the league covenant con
tained and made a muss cf It by giv
ing such divergent explanations of Its
meanings and terms and powers tnat
he lost lots of friends of the league
by the very methods he used to try
and show how strong It would be to
prevent wars because all the great
nations of the world would be In the
league and pledged to carry out its
provisions. Then when some of
America's ablest statesmen showed
the country that some of its articles
are In square conflict! with our con
stitution andagainst our sarety, Mr
Wilson rushed out onto the stage to
prove how weak it is by saying It
does not mean what It says or that
we will not be under any obligations
to obey the league's orders, unless
we want: it will be Just left to us to
choose our course. Then what has
he got as a league to enforce peace
any more than we have now, for can
we not now choose whether we will
take part or not?

All Mr. Wilson, or Mr. Cox or any
other of the league's dreamers may
say to the contrary notwithstanding.
Mr. Wilson says we will be under no
legal obligation to obey, but we will
be under a moral one which la much
stronger than a legal one. Then that
Is some binding, is it not? llut the
British and the French statesmen do
not agree with Mr. Wilson.' The
French say if that Is the caie let us
go back to The Hague treaties and
Mr. Lloyd George says It means what
It says, or It cannot mean antliing.
Mr. Wilson says It only advises and
that advice only means advise, then
why does it say that "the council will
advise what steps shall be taken to
give effect to the advice." and in ar
ticle IS. It glvea orders what they
shall do with a member of the league
that dares to refuse to obey the or
ders of tho council. It says the
council will tell the members "what
effective military or naval forces the
members of the league shall sever
ally contribute to the armed forces
to be used to protect the covenants
of the league." Now, Mr. Leaguer,
read that again and see how you like
It. . Then read Mr. Wilson on the
league and see who Is doing the mis

Figure up the time it would take
you to become a good machinist
and what it would cost you for board
