adjective "bountiful," and yet that very ptenty

products have shrunk far below th safety line
; and the farmers face actual loss on all they send
A ' to market. Consequently from all parts of the
ji; state come murmuring9 and mingled with these
iJjare threats of destroying or wasting the crop,

f Our president just now adds his appeal to

starving people in the Near East. To them
i. Americans have already contributed $41,000,000,
f. and at least a million of them live because of
he generosity of the people of this land. Now
Jjjjthe appeal is for another $23,000,000 that these
y. people may be carried through another winter

, Perils of Too-Sudden Democracy.
c 11 Japan were a democracy, tvar would be
V mudi more probable than it really Is, accbrd-
ing to the vie brought back from the Orient
t, by a retired business mart ofOmaha. The peo-
pie there are rtpsjrted to have been; stirred to
a high pitch by the newspapers, and are bit
ter over the Califojatia attitude toward Jap-
anese. The oligarchy of statesmen who coh-
irol Japanese affairs, however, realizes that it
would be folly to engage in conflict with Ameri-
ca. Not only is the natioh'9 treasury too low
i1ti finance waAik operations, but the Chinese
? and Koreans would present a formidable prob-
lem once Japan withdrew its attention from
i Shantung and its other spheres of influence on
V the continent of Asia.
: The theory 'that the Common people of a
;i nation are naturally more pacific than their
i rulers, and are essentially opposed to hostilities
,. ia which they would bear the burdens and stand
,i: the losses appears to be upset by this situation.
j;,All proposals to defer declaration of war un-
t: til the people hold a referendum are based on
the theory that this would prevent most wars.
I Perhaps It would, but In circumstances such
i as exist in Japan, where the people have been
; wrought tip to a frenzy of jingoism by the
! press, the result wouttl be far from meeting that
l! expectation.
, The small governing class of Japan has
sources of information and actual knowledge

V were more widely spread in the islands, it is
possible that the people would noj be so prone
' to seek action, but with conditions' asthcy are,
i it perhaps is ,4 fortunate" thing that Japan is not
yet fully democratized.
f "Jake" Not a Beverage.
; Our supreme court has added another little
' nugget of wisdom to the accumulating pile that
I has grown out of our experience with prohibi
"; tion. This time it has decided that jarhaica
ginger is not a beverage. We are inclined to
agree with the court. Having no experience with
;; the peculiar concoction, knowing it only by
': hearsay and reputation, we are of the opinion
! that it will never serve as a substitute for any
i - of the dinner wines that once graced the menu
i card, nor is it likely that any who ever felt the
-. genial glow inspired by rye or bourbon will find
I in the drug store product known colloquially as
. "jake" that which they looked for when they
j lifted the decanter and poured forth a libation
of mellow whisky. Jamaica -ginger may serve
' to give the '"kick" so many purblind and mis-;-
guided amateur tipplers seem to seek; in the
' ; case at court it appeared to have done so; for
the defendant in error was found unconscious
'I on the floor with a bottle of the mixture in his
hand, but the tippler who merely sought intoxi
i, cation never knew the joy of wine or the com
i tort of strong' drink. The court's decision may

Let's Pull Together.
The Bee is not disposed to join the quarrel
being Waged by its two contemporaries in
Omaha as to which receives the larger advertis
ing patronage. It doesij't presume that its
readers are especially interested in tabulations
of statistics on a question which after all con
cerns few but the newspapers themselves. It
has an idea that Omaha is tired of newspaper
quarrels.
The Bee, just now, feels anything but quarrel
some. Its new ownership and management has
just completed ten months of striving to serve
its readers and advertisers, and it is very appre
ciative of the good will which has been manifest
toward it a good will which gave The Bee a
gain of 3,248 lines of advertising in a month
when one ' contemporary lost 138,376 and the
other 131,698 lines as compared with a year ago.
The Bee considers its own prosperity and
success bdtind lip -inseparably with that of
Omaha and Nebraska. Just now it imagines
that that can be served best by courageous and
united effort, all together, to solve the many
problems which face us" Let's pull together and
make "Onward, Omaha!" a reality.
New World View of the League.
The clash in the assembly of the League of
Nations, precipitated by the resignation of the
representative of the republic of Argentina,
arises out of the conflict between the ideals of
the new world and those of the old. Voting
with Argentina for the proposal to alter .some
of the articles of the covenant was Paraguay,
and Canada. New Zealand and Australia are also
said to lean toward the revision.
Senator Knox, together with Borah, Moses
and other irreconcilables, are quoted as viewing
this situation in the light of a break-up of the
league. Lord Robert Cecil, member of the
British Parliament from Oxford and representa
tive of South Africa in the league assembly, de
clares that existence of the league is unmenaced,
even should a few other nations resign. From
this distance, however, it appears that the least
that can happen is that the dictatorship of the
great powers over the functions of the inter
national organization must be modified if even
the pretensejof harmony and usefulness is to
be preserved?
The fact is that Argentina got in the way
of the big powers' steam roller. Pueyrredon's
proposals included ohe "for the election of the
council by the assembly. This would have
shaken the hold of England, France and Italy
oil world politics, since as things now stand,
they are supreme in the controlling body of the
league. The other amendments called for an in
ternational tribunal to haVe compulsory jurisdic
tion over disputes, for admission of all sovereign
states td the league and for admission of dele
gates from small states which are not entitled
to full membership. Opponents of any changes
in the covenant moved to refer all amendments
to a committee and take no action on them
tthtil 1921. Although it has been generally
maintained that all action of the assembly must
be by unanimous vote, President Hymans of the
league ruled that a unanimous vote was not
necessary in case of procedure, and disregarded
the adverse baNot of the South American rtation.
Throughout the meeting in Geneva thee has
been unending conflict between the smsfll and
exclusive league council and the democratically
organized assembly. Efforts to correct certain
evils of the mandatory system and to eliminate
Article X likewise, were without effect, as were
those of the Scandinavian nations for other re
forms. On the one hand is a rather general feeling
that the powers have neglected the feelings and
wishes of the smaller nations, and on the other
is the claim that ''the great Latin-American
nation acted too precipitately. However, the
judgment of the government of Argentina coin
cides' with that so recently expressed by the
American people, that there are manifest dangers
and inequities in the covenant that must be cor
rected. With theTXlnited States and Argentina,
the two greatest nations of the new world,,
agreed in their attitude toward the league of
nations, either a change of heart must come over
the directing minds of the league, or its collapse
will be threatened.
Governor on the Right Track.
"In many counsels lies wisdom," a proverb
trite, perhaps, but as true today as when first
uttered. Governor McKclvie realizes this, it
seems, for he has announced a series of con
ferences by which he hopes to get a concentrated
notion 'of public opinion in his state, as to
its heeds and by what means the welfare of its
citizens may be better secured. The list of or
ganizations included in his invitation' takes in
.about every activity or interest in the state, and
with proper attendance should result in a free
discussion from all angles of the problems of
government. It i,Nof course, presumed that
finally the governor will make up his mind in
the light of the advice he has been given, but
without prejudice to-any; that he will not allow
the conflict of interest between certain of the
groups to disturb the balance authority must
maintain towards all the citizens, and that he
will so co-ordinate the suggestions made as to
bring something like harmony to all. If he can
succeed in doing this, he will exemplify wisdom
in its highest expression. His plan deserves suc
cess, for it is good.

Sir: If the Sabbatat-ians are merely trying
to make life miserable for most people and
virtue odious they are going at things in the
right way. But if they are animated by a desire
for better morals they are, as usual, going at
things in the wrong way. If a quiet, restful
Sunday is aimed at, if the Sabbatarians wish
us to stay at home, play with tho babies,, go
to church and get drunk in the bAck yard in
the. afternoon on home brew, the quickest way
to arrive at that is to eliminate Saturday night.
Eet them legislate to have Saturday afternoon
run till 10 p. m., With all business establish
ments open, and Sunday morning bet?in at 10.01
on what was, before legislation, Saturday night,
and have everyone In bed and nrtt allowed to
get up till 9 the next morning, and most of the
cobwebs of crime and Iniquity of Sunday would
be done away with. With Saturday night ellm-
inated, we would, moat of us, be sulliciently
sober the next morning to enjoy ourselves ration

T. B. YARDSTICK FOR CITIES.
At tho end of the three years or
iginally set as the period of Btudy
Dr. D. H. Armstrong reported thAt
the death rate from consumption
in Framlngham, Mas., had declined
about one-third.
It was 121 at tho start, while at
the end' of three years it, was 11
Eighty-one deaths from consunip
tion per 100,000 living Is a very low
death rate. About 23 years ago
Chicago had a typhoid death rate
twieo that high, and now the rate
has been around one for several
years. Is it too much to hope for
that 25 years from now Framing
ham may have a consumption rate
in the neighborhood of one?
Armstrong reports that his phy
sicians are finding less consumption
now, and especially loss neglected
consumption. This leans him to
hope that the decrease in consump
tion will continue.
While the experiment was founded
upon a suggestion which lleiser
brought from Victoria, Australia,
that consumption might be brought
under cohtrol in a few years, ami
while this iromlse is not being met
in all its fullness1, there has been
great progress. The lessons learned
at Frarningham suggest lo Dr. Arm
strong a Framlngham yardstick
with which other communities may
measure themselves. Here are some
of the features of that yardstick as
applied to a city of 100,000 popula
tion:
How many cases of consumption
aro there? In Framlngham 1 per
cent of the population has active
tuberculosis any city "of 100,000
1,000 cases.
How many cases should be under
care? In Frarningham for every
death there should be nine to 10
cases under care; In a city of 100,
000 population with a tuberculosis
death rate of 100 per annum there
should be 900 to 1,000 cases under
the care of physicians either at
home or in institutions such as hos
pitals and sanitarlams,
, What are the minimum needs for
beds in sanitaria and hospitals? In
Frarningham . one to two beds for
each death per year. In a com
munity of '100,000 population with
100 deaths from consumption a year
there should be 100 to 200 beds for
consumptives.
What proportion of cases of con
sumption should be given hospital
or sanitarium care? In Frarning
ham about 33 1-3 per cent. In a
city of 100,00 about 333 cases.
What will be the cost of all health
work on a comprehensive plan, in
cluding tuberculosis work? In Frarn
ingham over $2 per captia. In a city
of 100,000 about $200,000 a year. ,
What results can bo expected? In
Frarningham a reduction of one
third in the tuberculosis death rate
waa achieved in three years. A
community of 100,000 6hould lower

not the slightest doubt the easy money of
the last four years has spoiled' us. f, Sales
men have been order takers iot salesmen.
It was not a question of making a sale, but
of consenting to take an order. The auto
mobile business, for instance, became a
great and successful business because of
the genius and magnificent sale? ability of
the men engaged in it, but for tlje last few
years we waited in line and begged penuis
sion to place an order. Thank the Lord, we
are again at the place where it will be neces
sary to brush up the sales talk, develop con
vincing arguments, and go otiUafter. busi
ness. In other woi'ds, we must all -go b:-ck to
work."
I am quoting the above remarks for the rea
son they are typical of the comment we
have on every hand, and show the situation
is recognized as basicly sound and that cur
quarrel is with ourselves, not conditions.
Pyramiding could not go on forever, and we
all knew it. Yet instead of being willing
ttj accept the situation, we have tried to
prove that two and two does not make four.
As Ward Burgess said Thursday night:
"Everything is here just where it was."" All
we need is red-blooded, intelligent, honest-to-God,
not-afraid-of-work, Optimism.
When we get over our afraid-in-the-daik
cowardice and begin to look our temporary
losses squarely in the eye without a nervous
collapse, we will be surprised to discover
we have put in motion the wheels for a
splendid and almost instantaneous'business
revival.
Right now we all realize we have been
afraid of a stuffed club. Right now we are
awakening to the fact that business is good
and getting better. Right now we are dis
covering the secret of true success is WORK
that spirit which prompts us to get out
into the highways and byways, beat the
bushes and look for business as we did in
the good old days when hard work spelled
success.
The man or firm who wants business bad
enough to go out after it will be surprised
at the splendid volume to be found.
Don't forget !
Dame Fortune is a woman the Leap Years
are over she is through courting us we
must now get busy and do some tall court
ing ourselves.
And for the Love of Mike, "Why Not?"
