NEBRASKA TEACHERS cnutvtn
'-Omaha will' again have the pleasure "of en
tertaining the Nebraska State Teachers associa
tion this week, and it goes without saying that
the welcome will be hospitable and generous. If
anywhere the school ma'am is appreciated it is
right here in Omaha. She is welcome for the
canst she represents, and she is welcome for
herself. Like many other American communi
ties, Omaha was awakened to the fact that the
teacher had been too ranch taken for granted.
Shtj had gone quietly along, steadfastly devoted
to the work she had assumed, the most im
portant public undertaking of the government,
and, forgetting herself, she had been almost for
gotten by the public. It was something of a
h6ck for as to wake up and realize that while
we had been boosting the pay of hodcarriers
and ship riveters and all the rest of the list, the
school teacher was signing on the dotted line in
r- acknowledgment of the same little, insignificant
j 'and totally inadequate stipend on which she had
j existed from the hard times days of a previous
democratic administration.
-Of course, an effort was made to right this
situation, and in some ways the condition of
the teacher was improved, but the move has not
as yet proceeded far enough. Many things remain
to be done before the teacher has been given all
that is due. These may be discutsed in some
measnre at the coming convention. We hope
the teachers will not; be backward in setting
forth what they wobld like to have. They may
not get all they ask for, but they will set in
motion a thought that in the days to come per
haps may bring them benefit.
School politics will enter into the proceed
yigs of the convention, Just as it always lias,
't he Bee has no intention of debating any of
the issues that will come up, because it believes
ihat the teachers should be left free to decide
these questions for themeelves. It has turnd out
each time that any really important measnre was
. put up to the members of the association to vote
on, that they expressed themselves decisively. It
is but natural in such a body that groups should
form, and it is as inevitable that some of these
groups should seek to dominate the affairs of the
general body, and persist in bringing forward
Heir plans under one or another guise, refus
ing1 to take "no" for an answer. That is a com
mon experience, but the forward-looking,
straight-thinking teachers, imbued with a zeal
solely for the good of the association are not
likely to be swept very far from their great
purpose by any group, however active, less in
number than an actual majority of the body.
The agitator, however, is an antidote for stagna
tion. The program prepared for the teachers while
in Omaha is comprehensive and interesting. It
means that their days here will be busy ones.
This does not operate to relieve Omaha people
of their obligation to the visitors, and it should
be the pride of every citizen to exert some ef
ifort to the end of making sure that none go
away dissatisfied.
In the Matter of Registration.
Many Omaha citizens were reminded by Iet
rer. from the election commissioner's office that
something is wrong with their registration. In
great number of cases, the matter was easily
adjusted, being due to a misunderstanding, or
perhapo, to the carelessness of a cleric in setting
' lown the name or making the transcription. It
it impossible to prepare the lists in the time al
lotted with the force available and not have a
sufficient number of mistakes occur. The whole
sale challenging of voters on account of de
fective registration, however, suggests that
party workers were zealous in their determina
tion that the voting lists be purged of any fraud.
This is, of course, commendable, but its need
would be greatly lessened and the path of the
challenged voter made smoother if it were not
for the clerical blunders that gave rise to the
proceedings. Voters who received these re
minders through the mail should go to the fifce
of the election commissioner as soon as the
present rush is over and make absolutely sure
that the record there is correct. In that way
only can the voter make certain that he is not
to. be disfranchised because of somebody's
blunder , .
Not a Yearn for the Old Days.
Iti spite of all that may be said, few of us
are willing to go back to the conditions of a
few years ago when prices and wages were
somewhere around half what they now are.
It is indeed probable that less and less will
be' heard, since price declines have set in, from
men who have spoken fondly of the good old
days, and vowed that theiry wages then would
buy more than their higher wages now.
- It Is generally accepted as true that wages
rise slower than the cost of living, and it also
.eems to be true that wages decrease more
j slowly than prices. Thus, in the give and take
of life matters even themselves- up naturally.
In a period of high price;, even if wages hg
a little behind, there are compensations. In
dustry runs full blast, employment is more con
stant for wage earners as a whole, and there
is work for everyone. In observing the results
of the rising prices that now appear to have
taken a turn in other directions, one sees a
buying public better trained in the wise ex
penditure of money. We have all had learn
how and -wbetbAo buy, and what and where.
Public attention hus been called to the incfti
ciencei of the marketing system and the ques
tions of retail markets and cooperative buying
have been brought under consideration. From
talking of home budgets, we have cons to the
point of installing state and national budgets,
and regarding the problem of taxation as more
utal.
From an eu of extravagance and waste w
have passed into one of thrift, and jhis fact
in itself has played a part in checking the high
cost of living. In whatever way the pendulum
is now to swing, it is safe to say that the public
i: better fitted to meet the occasion than ever
before.
Marriage and Feminism.
Uukis your dictionary is quite recent iu is
sue, it will not contain a definition of the word,
"feminist." However, the discussion of feminism
is growing quite warm, including as it docs the
whole field of the rights and duties, of women.
To some of its exponents, feminism means
abolishing the kitchen, to others, man and wife
living in separate homes a thing obviously im
possible in thesje times of a housing shortage.
In some countries it has not progressed much
further than the right of women to education,
and in others presumably the controversy rages
around whether women have souls.
Having gained the vote, women are now
called upon to make a more personal inventory
of their needs and requirements. One of the
foremost interpreters of this movements, is the
English novelist, W. L. George, who is now
in America lecturing on love and marriage.
Strange though it may seem, he is said to know
more about the psychology of women than they
do themselves. At a venture, however, it might
be assumed that his wife is just one page ahead
of him, for he is said.to have the most successful
wife a genius ever had.
Mrs. George is said to be something of a
feminist herself, and her views, as expressed
to a reporter for a New York newspaper, seem
to have considerable authority, although not far
from the actual practice of most wives. Here
are some of her statements:
Women make a- great mistake when they
tie their husbands down to too narrow an
existence. .They should wish them to be free
human beings. '
Most men shut their wives out of their
lives and share nothing of their working days
with them. I don't believe that a marriage
with that kind of man could ever be a part
nership, or really successful.
But after all, until the end of time, the
big majority of women will continue to want
the same things that women of all ages have
valued most. They will want to marry the
man they love and have a home and children.
And, of course, there will never be any career
so worth while as that.
Mr. George, it seems, is an exception among
the ranks, of genius in having married happily.
Manlike, he probably attributes his marital com
fort to his powers of mind, and womanlike it
is apparent that Mrs. George, by applying good
old-fashioned commonsense, has done more than
her part to keep his marriage a success.
A Regatta Worth Watching.
You need not be a sailor to understand
enough of what is involved so that you can ap
preciate the regatta just won by a Yankee sail
ing master at Halifax. It was not between a
couple of racing machines, built for speed, and
as one of the contestants expressed himself.
"afraid of a twenty-five-mile puff of wind." Fish
ing schooners engaged in friendly rivalry,
manned by the crews who take them out on
"the Banks," and handled by the skippers who
direct the fishing operations. These men, who
know the rigor of the winter seas as' well as
old ocean's summer smile, who have raced with
one another for the fishing grounds and again
for the market at Gloucester or Boston, also
know how to handle a vessel so as to get every
inch of speed by utilizing every ounce of driv
ing force in the wind.
Passengers on the great floating hotels that
follow the sea lanes have looked with wonder and
maybe pity at the little ship tossing on the
waves in the distance, marveling at the temerity
of the men who venture so far out on such tiny
ships. The big liners give the fishers fair room,
for nets and trawling lines add little to the effi
ciency of propellers, but the captain on the
bridge knows the worth of the ma!i on the
schooner whose topmast just about lifts flush
to the liner's deck. Look up the story of the
late war, and note the part the fishermen played
in itmine sweeping, patrol work, daring ven
tures of many kinds, and always the procuring
of food, the day's work for the fisherman.
Connolly's tales of the Gloucester fleet are
worth reading, and some time he-er Conrad or
another real story teller will give the deep-sea
fisherman's bit of the war such colorful setting
as will bring him something of his due. .In the
meantime, yon may take it for granted that the
regatta just won by the Yankee fisherman at
Halifax was a regular boat race, and that vic
tory went to the imartest crew and the 'ablest
skipper.
Early reports from election indicated a heavy
vote in all parts of the country, an answer as
to the charge that the people were apathetic.
It bears, out the belief of experienced politicians,
that minds were very generally made up long
before the fireworks were loosened, and that the
campaign efforts did not loosen the decision of
many. 1

to the possefsion of a couple of night shirts as

STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF
A man complained tho other day
that , ho could not Uream, when
asleep, about what he thought of
when awako. This particular man
happened to stmy into my preserves,
for he really belonged in the column
for the lovesick. Ho was a mooning
lover who put in a good part of his
time thinking about his sweetheart,
and he greatly desired to dream
about her at night.
He had read that one's dreams
wero merely the flay thoughts carried
over Into sleep. He was not disposed
to believe this to ie true, since his
thoughts were all about his sweet
heart, but he could never dream
about her. But if it -vere true, he felt
that somehow ho was missing the
combination and he wanted to be
told just what he could do or how
he could act to get his night and
day thoughts playing on the same
chord.
He was a lucky guy, even if lie did
not know it. That man is fortunate
whose intellectual and emotional
processes move out every night at
10, turn the key. and keep away until
6 the next morning. Of course,
sleep is a wall 'which nature builds
to keep out the day. But if the
man thinks Intensely or feels violent
ly, his thoughts and his emotions
will climb over or dig under or
squeeze through this wall. If his
fatigue is great it may take a few
hours for these .thoughts and emo
tions to find a truck through which
to push. If the emotions are
strong enough or the thoughts are
intense enough, once they are
through they will push over the wall.
If they are not strong enough to push
it over, they may stay around as
dreams and more serious forms of
sleep disturbance.
Sleeping is a natural art, but one
which can be lost. It may be lost
through acquirement of the capacity
to swing on to one's thoughts or one's
emotions. The people whose minds
hop around like a goat on a rock
have no difficulty in sleeping. Those
who always are in emotional poise
are likely good sleepers. If we ac
cept this statement, there is no
place for drugs or insomnia. The only
way out Is mental and emotional
training.
Now let's go back to where we
left our mooning lover. Were he
to analyse his emotions, he prob
ably would find that he was not very
much in love with the girl. Think
ing about her probably tickled his
vanity.
Is there any way that fellow can
get to dreaming about his girl? Easy.
Let his girl give his diamond to a
prize fighter or elope with a drumr
mer. Let her treat him unfairly
or "bawl him out." Jealousy, envy,
hatred, or any other violent emotion
will push that wall over in short
order or slip through.
Climate Has Little Cffect.
Philip R. writes: "1. Will you
kindly tell me if change of climate
could help to cure rheumatism?
"2. What are the best states?"
REPLY'.
It is possible that you may be
better in the south, but the people
there have about as much rheuma
tism as the peola elsewhere. Climate
is not much of a factor in causing
or curing rheumatism.
Depends on Coffee, Too.
T. C. R. writes: "1. Please advise
if in your opinion drinking as many
as two or three coca colas per day
is harmful to an average person?
"2. Also can a young man who is
21 years old and very much unde
veloped physically fully develop him
self? "3. What occupation do you think
would be best for him to engage in
to accomplish development?"
REPLY.
1. Probably not. especially if taken
with food. 1 should think three would
be too many for most people addicted
to the use of considerable coffoe if
they are taken on an empty stomach.
Two or three drinks of coca cola in
addition to two or three cups of
coffee would be too much.
2. Yes.
3. Hlacksmlthing, farming, the

Some Hay Fever- Itciuetlics.
Miss H. P. writes: "I have hay
fever. Can you prescribe something
to take internally that would do me
any good? 1 read something you
prescribed a while back, but have
forgot what it was, how much to
take, and how often to take it. I
have tried spraying my nose, but It
does not Keem to give me any relief."

of camphor in the palm of his hand
and inhaling it freely. He keeps a
bottle of camphor at his home and
another at his shop, and he uses it
many times a day! Dr. Stuver has

?eles?" REPLY.
In 1917. Los Angeles, 12. o; Chi
cago, 14.9. The 1918 report of the
census office did not gie the rates in
the various cities because of varia
tions in rate of growth. For the
week of August 14, Chicago had a
death rate of 9; Los Angeles of 11.8.

How lb sent It?
Omaha, Oct. 23.--To the Editor
of Tho Ree: 1 notice that one sign
ing his name J. T. Watson made nn
attack on m through your columns
because I did not "resent." as he
calls it, the remark of the young
man with the foreign accent, to his
remark on the street cars in which
he said Senator Harding's speech
was "Too Much America." I would
ask this man Watson how he would
resent it? Would he hit the fellow
with his fist or cull him down and
get hit in the face for his pains?
A man of that kind is apt to be
dangerous in other wnys than with
his mouth and I did not care to
tackle him. The car was Jammed
full of people from end to end and
the fellow was several feet from
where I stood And it would have
been a poor place for a personal en
counter, which would probably have
been the result If I had said any
thing to him.
I was not aching for the notoriety j
inut would nave been caused had I
gotten Into a fist fight with the fel
low and I do not see what I would
have gained by it excpt possibly a
black eye. Thoro were a lot of
other people who heard tho remark,
but paid no attntlon to it.
