, CASPER E. YOST: A BUILDER.
It is not an easy taik to sum up in a few
sentences the real achievements and assess the
value of a' life whose activities were so varied
and continued over" so long a time as was that
of Casper E. Yost, who has just answered the
call. Even the most elaborate recital would
omit comething of merit, while a summary is
certain to fall short of aC just and accurate
resume of his career.
'To Omaha .Casper E. Yost" was something
more than a citizen. He had a vision, shared
witK by, others of his generation, of a great city
where the ordinary eye ,saw only a struggling
town. His foresight was justified ..in many
wajs; he lived to, see the town on which he'
rested his fai,th tome to be something approach,
the city of his' dreams; he saw the industry to
which he devoted his talent, his means, his very
life, grow into the" greatest organization for
. transmitting intelligence the world nowsany
thing about. And through his, devotion to
Omaha he made this city a great central head
quarters for the manifold activities of that or
ganization. .
He was closely associated with Theodore
N. Vail and others of the eminent group under
whose !are the telephone was brought to its
highest development 'and adapted to social Uses
to such an extent that it is now an indispensa
ble adjunct of 'the home, as much of a neces
sity as a bed of a cook stove. More so, for in
many so-called homes, the telephone is at hand,
while the cooking is done outside. Mr. Yost's
part in this will prqbably neverbe entirely told,
but Omahans who knew him are conversant
' with some of the. details of his labors In building
up the local plant to its present state of perfec
tion, not only for the us of. the city, but wfth
its network of wires, elosely interlacing the
communities of the state and uniting them with
v air the land In one great and comprehensive
system.
As a political leader in the early days of
the . state, a lawyer, a publisher, and in other
active ways he took part in the affairs of the
community, aiding in its material development
and encouraging others by his example.
While this material achievement is. a monu
ment of which most men would be sufficiently
proud, Casper E. Yost may be credited with
- something even greater. He flo only built .
telephone system, but he built up mn to oper
ate it. No young man ever associated himself
with a more kindly "boss," one who took more
keen but unobtrusive interest in the personal
affairs of those who worked with him, or who
, - gave to the beginner more opportunity to make
good or nftre certain reward when he did make
good. To tell of those who felt the influence
- of this quality of Mr. Yost's character would
Ke to cali the roll of telephone men who have
attained prominence in, the operations of the
' company since it was organized. How much
Omaha owes to him on this score is beyond
computation. . '
. The death of a grandson, one of America's
glorious company of "bird men" In France,
dealt this- fine citizen a blow he did not rally
from, and hastened the culmination that ad
vancing years already portended. He gave over
. his active participation in the management of
the company's affairs more than a year ago,
hoping to find some rest before journeying on.
The great institution he helped to establish will
go on, a memorial in itself to his genius as an
organizer and his courageous tenacity' to a pur
pose. His work for Omaha wjll remain, because
it was Of the enduring type, and those who were
privileged to know him well will mourn the
death of Caster E. Yost, because they have lost
a friend as the city has a builder.
accepting a decision against his judgment and
the traditions of his statecraft. ' Viviani's elo
quence may be potetvfe- to sweep the assembly
into a frenzy of action against the Turk,, but
the council must yet act, and it has done nothing
since the United States declined the mandate..
Another nation may be found, but the one that
does take up the work will do so with full
knowledge of what is involved. A war with
Turkey is not especially desired by either of the
great powers, and none of the lesser can carry
on such an engagement without assistance.
Any way the matter is viewed, "the question
of ArmeniJ& perplexing. Its final answer in
cludes the breaking up of Turkey, and that is
just what the European powers have sought to
avoid for longer than a century. Geneva's
answer -is more important now than was that
of Berlin a generation ago.
Danger Signal for Lake Outlet.
If the Great Lakes Waterway were in opera
tion today, wheat would be selling at 10. cents
a bushet more. The reason for this is that the
cost of exporting our surplus grain to Europe
would be diminished by that amount. Ameri
can wheat is sold in competition on the world's
market, and any reduction in freight charges
would give the producers here a corresponding
benefit. 7,
Julius H. Barnes is 'authority for the state
ment that if the extension of the waterway
were made down the St. Lawrence to Montreal,
a saving of 1Q, cents a bushel on transportation
of export as well as domestic grain would be
made. This, he figured, would amount to
$200,000,000 annually on all grains.
Such are tlir. stakes in the contest that is
now being waged to .obtain the ' official co
operation of the governments of s Canada and
the United States for this project Influences
are at work In the east to pKvent the consum
mation which means so much to the producers
of the middle weft.At a recent meeting of the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways association, a reso
lution condemning the Great Lakes project was
adopted. This urged that no such improvement
should be made outside American boundaries,
thus making it appear a matter of patriotism
that no deep water canal be dug because it
would pass through Canadian territory, and
thus not meet military needs as well as those
of commerce. ' - ..
For more than a hundred years, Americans.
and Canadians have lived in neighborly friend
liness. No troops line the frontiers; there is
no thought of hostility, and with such an in
terest in common as this waterway, new bonds
of friendship would result A year ago simi
lar resolutions against the plan were presented
to the National Rivers and Harbors congress.
pwhere they were smothered.' It is -considered
probable that the same move will be made in
the Rivers and Harbors meeting iq Washington
early next month. Governors of states,, com
mercial and manufacturing associations and
similar bodies all have a right, to send delegates
to this improvement congress. Eastern ports
with interests bitterly opposed to any plan
whip h would tnike it unnecessary for all ex
port trade to pass through their hands will hav
every opportunity tpBack these sessions against
the Great Lakes outlet unless the organizations
in the Mitjdle West are vigilant enough1 to send
adequate representation of their own. .

Armenia and the League. ,
It now seems probable that the crucial. test
of the League of Nations is- to come almost im
mediately, Armenia furnishing the occasion.
Strange indeed would be the outcome if this
rie'glectedpersecuted land should be the rock
on which the organization should break.
Matters have developed rapidly since the
United States senate declined to accept a man
date for. Armenia. Beset by bolshevik! on the
one side and the Turk nationalists on the other,
the situation of the Armenians has been pre
cious, and yet they have found time to harass
Arzabaijan and mingle extensively in the mixed
politics of the region. The more important
"thing is, however, that England and France
allotted between themselves certain "spheres
of influence," none of which have so far devel
oped materially to their advantage.
Venizelos, with consent of the Allies, took
up arms against the Turk nationalists, and
speedily drove them out of that portion of the
country to which Greece laid claim, but only
'succeeded in concentrating them against the
Armenians. Now that Venizelos has been
turned down by the inconstant Greeks, ,4he
Turks accept the election there as an endorse
ment of their course at home, and request that
all external pressure be removed, that they may
'settle their own affairs ia. their own way. This,
of course, is their idea of self-determination.
That it holds the very immediate probability of
completion of the half-finished job of extermi
nating the Armenians is quite apparent at
Geneva.'

A City Drills for Oil.
Public parks and charitable institutions are
not usually expected to return dividends, but
oil has been struck on the poor farm of Creek
county, Oklahoma, and there an investment in
humanity has developed into a paying business
proposition. The county's paupers, although
not receiving the flow of wealth, at all events
will not be a burden on the taxpayers as long
as the well continues to produce.1
Two miles away, the city of Bristow has
decided to go into the oil game. . Forty aires
of park land are to be drilled, and imagina
tion falters at the prospect of what the discovery
of "a gusher would 'bring. Instead of paying
taxes, the inhabitants pf this unique community
Woulaf divide up the yearly profits. Cynics will
say that it is worth a few hundred dollars to
live in one of those sun baked towns of the
southwest, but if , the dividends were of any
considerable dimensions, the fcjty would have
to build a wall to keep immigrants out and pre t
vent too general division of the municipal
income.
In Scandinavia there are cities actually tax
less, supported by tracts o.f forest land, and in
Germany there used to be places where local
taxes were replaced by small payments from
the city to the people from profits of various
enterprises, but among American communities,
Bristow will stand unique if it strikes oil.
Belgium's Rait for Babies. "
Belgium before .the war was more densely
populated than Chiffa, and While the report that
there are now more deaths than births among
the French' half of its population is not a matter
for congratulation, neither is it an evil entirely
without compensations. In Belgium as a whole,
births exceeded deaths by 15,000 last year, and
by considerably more this year. The increase
4 due to the fecundity of the Flemish element,
and a cabinet minister Warns that the Walloon
or French-speaking . section will be over-run
unless there is a change. 1 v
This statement refers to the fact that Bel
gium is made up of two different races, differ
ent in language, religion and personal charac
teristics. The war brought them together, but
peace finds them once more apart. Long before
the conflict the French strain was multiplying
more slowly than the Dutcfcsp'eaking section,
and it is questionable if -even the exigency of
maintaining the numerical and political balance
will be sufficient to embark them on a rivalry
for population.

WHEty A LION BITES YOU.
"I read in the papers," W. writes,
"that a woman hud been scratched
by a tlper. It, was euid that noth
ing would be applied to tlio wound,
but that after a few days tho wound
would be covered by grafts. Is this
good treatment? Is there not danger
from hydrophobia or blood poison
ing?" i
Selous, who seems to know moro
about tho subject than anybody else,
says such wounds should be washed
out with strong carbolic acid as
promptly as possible. Selous' ex
perience was exclusively in South
Africa and he knew nothing about
tiger scratches, but he was raked by
lions o few' times and ho ,had op
portunities to see people who had
been mauled and raked by Hons and
others 1 who had been wounded -by
leopards and all kinds of wild
animals.
He said when. a lion scratch was
allowed to go untreated it was
always a long time in healing. It
was indolent rather than vicious",
got full of proud flesh, and some
how just would not heal. This is
true of all ulcers and sores occur
ring in hot countries, yet Selous, who
was an accurate observer, said it
was exceptionally true of scratches
and bites by lions and leopards. On
the other hand, when a Hon scratch
was washed out at once with strong
carbolic It healed quickly and satis- J
factorily. ' v '
A scratch or bite made by a wild
carnivorous animal 'is very apt to be
infected with disease producing and
putrefaction causing bacteria. They
eat bodies of animals, sometimes -
badly decomposed, and-sometimes
dead of disease. How could their
claws be clean? However, there is
not the same decree of danger where
the scratch is made, by the cleaner
claws of menagerie" animals that
walk on clean floors and eat fresM,
clean, high grad'emeat.
The armies inlanders anTT north
ern France soon learned that a man
with a dirty wound should be given
tetanus antitoxin invariably. It
would be safer in the case of an ex
tensive wound due to a scratch to
nave an injection of that antitoxin
given; next to apply carbolic acid to
the wound.
The more promptly It is used the
better. ' ' '
IT a -efy . strong solution Is ysed
the wound then should be washed
out with alcohol. After this any
standard .open dressing should be
applied. Some persons would usej
iodine to , kill the bacteria m the
wound instead, of earbolic acid. For
the general iun of dirty wounds
iodine is used Co sterilize much more
frequently than is strong carbolic.

Omaha, Nov. 21. To tho Editor
of Tho Bee: Your editorial in
Sunday's lssuo entitled "l'ity the
Poor Gold Mine Owner" brlnns
some interesting questions to light
relative to our present financial sys
tern. In- 1914 the uurchasing Pow
er of an ounce of gold was $20.67
and in 1920 it is found to be only
$9.70. This is tho chief cause of
the great decrease in gold produc
tion in thiscountry and tho Bhut
ing down of an industry which em
ploys approximately 600,000 men in
its various departments.
During the past year the govern
ment reports of the United States,
show a decrease in tho mining of
gold of $63,000,000, The saying
that a scarcity of gold means low
prices and an - abundance of gold
means high prices Is untrue: The
United States government today has
scarcely enough gold in coin . and
bullion to pay the interest on the
all kinds of salads, "other vegetables,
bread, preferably made froiti whole
wheat,' and fruit Milk is poor hv
iron. Vegetables contain the iroavt
needed to overcome anemia ana the
lime needed for growth.
