SHIPPING BOARD SCANDAL.
Disclosures of graft, extravagance, misman
agement and fraud in connection with the oper
ations' of the Shipping board and . Emergency
Fleet corporation during the war come merely
as additional proof of the shame that tinged the
magnificent work of shipbuilding at a time of
the world's greatest need. Not only did the
shipyards of America present the strangely
mixed spectacle of producing sorely needed ves
sels in record time and providing bomb-proof
employment for a lot of fjllowa who might
otherwise have been in tfcr irenches, but they
also afforded a remarkable composition of the
shrewdest of organization and efficient manage
ment and the most reckless of waste, extrava
gance and incompetence. All of this was
brought about at a time when the public mind
was exalted above sublunary considerations by
urge of patriotic devotion, and, following its
. leaders with implicit trust, could not conceive
Jthat any were less lacking in the higher attri
butes of citizenship and willingness to serve, and
therefore would not suspect any, of the deliberate
crookedness that now appears to have been
prevalent i '
No way can be adopted to restbre all that
, was lost as a result of what then was done in
the name of htirhah liberty, but tome method
jjjhould be devised to reach the greedy profiteers,
SSho assumed the livery of public service in
, rder to plunder the people who trusted them.
'' ;N question of partisan politics !s involved to
jthii. i Even if no(,more drastic jction is tfossiblo
fthan to publicly denbunce those who are respond
ible for the wantoriaste, that should be done'.
.This ought to include thfe men who deliberately
'manipulated the financial operations with great
iloss and detriment to the public, and extend
Mownward to the man who took big wages ho
3knew he had not earned. Profiteering is not
.culpable according to degree, but is a shame td
ny regardless of the amount filched.
Americans will be inclined td forgive much,
because the shipyards did turn Out vessels at a
irate that proved of incalculable service in con
nectfon with the war. Hop kindled then of a
Revived merchant marine, to heat American coin
amerce, and this promise, has been in part re
'deemed, at least to the extent that a start actually'
'has been made, but some of the offers made for;
'vessels and equipment to be sold by the United
States to private owner indicates an impres
sion on part of purchasers that ttie Treasury" is
fbtill exuding blessings to those who are lucky
. enough to get a connection. Satvage from the
shipyards is not making much of a1 dent' on the
Ml of costs piled up against them.
! It is quite likely that Senator" Itarding; will
find himself free to put into full effect the'
provisions of the" Jones act, now suspended by
Mr. Wilson's fefusal to undertake the negotia
tion of newtWatles fhadVneiesiary by ,tha Jav.
jThe -president-elect is also committed tp the
policy of permitting the use of the Panama canal
jtoll-free to American shipping as well as the
(continued exclusion of foreign-built or owned
Vessels from coastwise commerce. If friendly
encouragement will achieve it, the American'
merchant marine will be restored under the
republican administration, but its foundations
should not rest on the graft scandal coming:
down from the war days.
Reorganizing the Democratic Party,
'from the day he was named to succeed
Homer S. Dimming as chairman of the demo-,
eratic national committee, The Bee has held
George White to be what the unwashed legions
he headed would call "a good game guy." He
justifies this opinion by announcing the reor
ganization of what is left of the shattered and
scattered host of the oiice great party. How
ever, heis a little bjt late. The work was com
menced in Arkansas, here the itate committee
pt the democrats passed a resolution calling on
3fr. Bryan to formally, resign his membership,
and to effectually Obliterate himself. You will re
tnember, of course, that Arkansas was the home
fttate of Jame it. Jones, field marshal of the.
!Bryan cohorts during the "second battle," and
the request made in the name of Woodrow Wil
son becomes the more , impressive, because of
ithaMact Oft' that day the Katlotlal Democratic
vjtlub of New York made llr.' Wilson and Gov
ernor Cox members for life, because of services
to the party,' the fir time such an honor has
een granted since the days of Grover Cleveland.-
These are premonitory symptoms of the
reorganization Mr. White has in view, and might
'support the belief that at the 1924 gathering of
.the dans, should such occur, a really interesting
(time will be had by all. The chairman has his
Kvork ahead of him.
! Three Acres and the Immigrant.
; Detroit and Akrort are two cities that ac-'
knowledge having enough population fof the pres
ent, and they are endeavoring' to have the tide
kf immigrant labor, diverted from their doors,
'suggesting thaV li be Spread out over the. rural
districts. Frederick R. Wallis, cbmmlslorier of
immigration,',hai established, a new bureau at
'Ellis island to aid m the distribution immi
tgrants andcheck their tendency tclierd in con
igested cities. ' . ,
' It would riot be necessary to turn the new
jcomers very far aside in Order to put them on
jthe soiL On the outjklfts of every city t are
tracts of -vacant land that could with great behe
ffit be brought into use for market garden,
igarms are smaller In the old countries than with
us, and it is for truck gardening or small dairy
ing that the immigrants, many of whom were
brought up as farmers, are best suited.
Although many now reaching America prob
ably would prefer farming to factory labor,
active effort to root them properly is necessary.
It will not do merely to set them on a train
headed for the middle west and let them drift
about in search for a "home. Several agencies
are now at work on the plan, among them the
National Council of Jewish Women, which has
arranged to settle Jewish immigrants on farms
equipped for them. If the possibilities of rais
ing green stuff for the city markets are realized,"
city and state agencies may yet co-operate with
the immigration authorities to general advantage.
Nebraska's industrial Court.
Commenting on the re-election of Governor
Allen, which it interprets as an approval of the
Kansas industrial court, law, the Boston Trah
acript falls into the error of saying Nebraska
has adopted a similar law. What Nebraska has
done is to adopt an amendment to its constitu
tion which1 will permit the legislature to adopt
such a law. There is the difference.
Another great difference is that Nebraska
has no coal mines br similar industry, in which
the public can take the lively interest shown in
the affairs of Kansas. To be sure, a goodly
number of Nebraska's populationabout 100 per
cent, to be exact, earn their owit living, and eat
their bread in the sweat of their face, but as
yet they have never sought to attract national
attention by raising a hullabaloo about it, such
as goes up periodically from the Kansas coal
field. 'We have no Howatt, and must struggle
along as best we may without the advertising
that energetic individual has given to the, home
of the Jayhawker. , -
We noted the other day whers some be
nighted editor referred to the fact that thirty
years have elapsed since William Allen White
advised his fellow Kansans to raise less hell
and more corn.. As a matter of solemn truth,
the folks did not take him any more seriously
then than they do now, and they continue to
raise just as much of the one and no more of
the other than during the good old populist
days of 1890. However, this is wandering from
the subject.
Nebraska has not as yet passed an industrial
court law, but probably will although wfe won
der as to the need of it, just as we were puzzled
to know why it was necessary to put permission
to do so into a constitution that did ttbt forbid
such action.
Barriers to Great Lakes Traffic.
Those Who have made the voyage through the
Thousand islands of the St. Lawrence river,'
stepping ashore at Montreal after that final wild
spurt through Lachine rapid 5, have a clear un
derstanding of just what are the obstacles to
navigation that would be avoided by construc
tion of the Great Lakes waterway. On the map
the St. Lawrence appears to be a broad stream
capable of floating the greatest vessels. Big and
broad it is, but there i& a drop of 227 feet be
tween Prescott and Montreal that sends the
foaming water gushing between, great boulders..
Small steamships, by skillful piloting pass
tafely down the narrow channel through a
series of four dangerous rapids, but it is im
possible for- any ship to go back Up this same
way. Passoogeri on the decks of the tourist
vessels notice just beyond the1 bank of fhie river
a narrow channel through ' which steamers, are
making their "way back to the lakes. At present
this canal will accommodate vesiels of the limV
ited size of 300feet, with a draft of 14.6 feet.
The Welland cihal, which carries shipping'
around Niagara Falls, is designed to carry ships
800 feet long arid with a draft of 2S feet. .Similar
works are proposed above Montreal to make
the Great Lakes accessible to 80 per cent of the
ocean freighters.
The question of the construction of this
waterway that will give America a Mediterrari-.
ean sea of its own will soon be presented to'
congress. Throughout the western statefc uffer-
ing from inadequate and expensive transpbrta-'
tion f or. theif products is, a powerful sentiment
favoring this lhiprorVment'. It is up to state and
local organizations to manifest their support
of the plan and exert all proper pressure to
hasten its adbptiOiC .... '
Double Blame for Motor Accidents.
Who is more careless, the pedestrian or the
motorist? In a' survey Of newspaper articles
made by the Literary Digest, opinion is found
widely divided as where blame for the toll of
automobile accidents should be put. Figures
are quoted stating the deaths from motor car
accidents number almost two an hour in the
United States,' and though it is generally ad
mitted that speeding and reckless driving are
responsible for many of these, jay walking and
carelessness of pedestrians is not found guilt
less. One motorist, however, is not inclined to
shift the blame, and declares that if no horns
were used, fewer accidents would occur because
neither the driver or the walkers would feel the
false, sense Of security that is given by the ex
istence of the warning signal.
An experiment 8y a Philadelphia physician
throws light On the strain tender which cars are
driven in crowded traffic. A blood pressure
gage was . fastened, to the arm of a chauffeur,
and the doctor, sitting beside him, kept a rec
ord of the reactions in a drive through the con
gested district. Nervous tension and mental
stress scarcely associated ,viih the pleasure of
driving was registered ih black-ahd white. ' The
blood pressure of the motorist actually soared,
moving up twenty points.
This very fact suggests the need for some
examination of the physical d mental ability
of persons before they are allowed to run a car.
It pleads also for more care on the part' of the
walking public, and a recognition . that the
obligation of obeying the traffic rules is not all
on one side.

In Which a Conscientious Objector Is Belled to
a Fare-yo-'Well.
(From the Evart, Mich., Review.)
'. In my vounger days I sometimes at
tended such gatherings, and we always
-rnade it a rule not to .serenade the parties
married, when they left us a treat at any
place. ; So resting in the faith that this
practice would hold good at this time, r
.went to each of the stores at Sears and
ordered A treat -of candy, but no tobacco or
cigars. But in face of all this they came to
Bell us. Borne, of course, for fun, 'others
bent on making me treat to the cigar
(which rny conscience would hot permit me
to do). They made much noise and I picked
up. 74 cartridges that had been fired at our
window, we did not care for the noise, but
. they broke the screen from the windows
and pried it up. I tried ' to put it down
when they threw water Into the room until
we and the bedding were saturated with
water.) I asked them to go away telling
them there was a treat for them at the
store. We went upstairs and locked our
selves in a room. A number of them came
in at the window tore the bed up throwing .
the bedding on the floor,, went upstairs
smoked and tramped around in the hall,
until I ask them for Mrs. Huddle's sake to
go away. They very reluctantly left the
house with all the doors open. Then they
placed a tank over the chimney and a tub ,
over the other chimney. Leaving the place
they told us they would' be back the next
night if I did not treat to the cigars the 1
next day. They called the treat of candy
a kid treat There is a story going the
rounds that I . threw the first water. This
is absolutely Untrue. 1 threw no water and
had none in the room until they threw it in. 1

THE PROCESS OP FASTING,
"How lonp," W. F. C. writes, "has
man been known to go without food
and live?"
The Bible tells us Christ fasted
40 days. Robert do Molernc, founder
of the Cistercian brotherhood, is
said to have attempted, what he
thought would ba a roundabout
suicide by fasting 70 days. This is
not well authenticated. Dr. Tanner
fasted 43 days. In what are said to
have been scientifically supervised
cases, Succi fasted 40 days and Jac
ques fasted EO Ja,ys.
When a person fasts he draws first
upon the water of hts tissues. Next
he uses up the surplus food eaten
during the few days before the fast
began and not yet digested, assim
ilated, absorbed or converted into
human organic compounds. Next in
order he uses up surplus food stored
In his body as fat. and glycogen.
And last of all, he draws on the
cells and fibers of his organs.
The use of these various souroos
of fuel supply overlap considerably
in point of time, but after a certain
fashion they follow in the order
named. In the meanwhile the rato
of consumption of fuel slackens.
Since most of the fuel burned is for
the purpose of making heat, the
fasting man when he can do so wraps
up well and stays In a warm room.
He will spare llmself by moving
about very little, talking very little,
and In every way reducing his func
tioning to the minimum.
. The, very fact that he is not
eating tends to smolder his fires. It
Is not known to be true that inde
pendently of all else taking in of
food increases the rate of burning
of fuel by the body. But fter &
man has burned up all the' fuel in
his digestive organs and that floating
as yet unused in his tissues, he be
gins to draw on his tissues. He
empties his liver cells and muscle
cells of glycogen. He tears down and
burns up his stored fat.
Chittenden of Yale, who is uni
versally accepted as an authority,
stresses the fact that in the main
the pfotelds will be spared so long
as fats and sugars are available.
For . the first six to 10 days after
fasting begins analysis of the ex
cretions shows that a good deal of
proteld Is being burned Up dally.
By somewhere between the .sixth
and the tenth day all food in transi
tion, like bank checks going through
the clearing house, will have been
used, all loose proteid will have been
consumed, heat producing,, talking,
moving, thinking will have slowed
down, and the fuel bins ofLfat will
have been tapped.
From that time so long as the fat
holds out the amount of brain, cells,
muscle cells anS other cells burned to
ash dally is very rmall. If the sub
ject takes plenty of water his' gains
In that direction effepi his losses.

Lithuania territory. The Polish are
using propaganda to bltift the world
while they are killing Lithuanian!
and grubbliiff territory. The state
ment in the newspapers say that
Poland, will tak that territory in
which all people are Catholics and
can speuk the Polish !anguaK. This
claim Is unjust, if you examine the
history of the world, you will see
that Poland and Lithuania were,
united under ltusvla for a long tlmo
and both had to speak the Russian
language, which In Hlavontc like the
Polish language. Thtit Is the rea
son why most LthuaYiluns can speak
tho Polish and Slavonic language.
But by rare the Lithuanians are
neither Slavs nor Poh. Lithuanians
are different people and have a dif
ferent language from the rollsh or
Slavonic. Therefore Patond has no
more rlpht to claim Lithuania be
cause the Lithuanians can speak
Polish than England has to claim
the United States hec&use the people
here speak English.

Experience

yedrs.. , During this time, Omaha
.hat, grown from a frontier village
to a metropolitan city and the '
.territory back of it has developed
" from 'a part of the great American
desert to the bread basket of the
world.
The experience of the Firs
National Bank has been seasoned
with everything this community
has passed through fron 1851 to
the present time.- Our growth has
been intimately associated with
that of the community. All the
accumulated experience of sixty,
four years of successful operation
