THE MISSOURI RIVER BRIDGE. '
A strong sentiment is developing in favor
of a free bridge over the Missouri river at
Omaha. In some way the discussion involves all
of the numerous bridge projects that have come
to light since the erection of the present Douglas
street structure in the late 80s. Most of this
discussion is entirely beside the question. The
need of a free bridge is admitted, and is becoming
imperative. , ;,? .
The first thing to, be. determined is its site.
Without regard to a-rulihg of the War depart
ment coiKerning,the bridging of navigable
streams, tnc logic 'of the situation points to
Douglas street as the proper place. It has every
advantage that could be sought for such a struc
ture, and many that otbe locations lack. That
it is already occupied by a company deriving
considerable revenue from it is not an insur
mountable obstacle. Bargains have been struck
with other owners whose property was sought
for public use, and may be with these. -
It should be understood, however, that the
existing bridge will be purchased, if at all, only
to be removed to make way for one that, is
capable of meeting the demands of a rapidly ex
panding traffic. A wider, heavier structure is
needed. This should be understood in any ne-
crr.tlatinnc . imrlprralrrtn u'frh rfurrnii. s

enterprise. Nor is it wise to put any reliance on
so-called reversionary clauses inthe charter
under which the bridge company is operating
"Whatever transaction is carried on should be
on a basis of fairness between the public and the
owners. . '? ..'..?rj.. "
When yft&tT' voted to enter into a
contract ljjith J5rtapf Kansas City bridge

cated, how it is o be, paid for, and a few other
preliminaries -are settled, the employment of
supervising architects would seem to be pre
mature. - -vV-i'V ' '
If Omahi. is to go ahead as planned, the free
bridge is one of the big items on the program.
a iic l'cc uciicves u win uc acmcvcQ, aiiu will

" "Send tne Bill to Uncle Sam."
Delegates tot the second financial conference
for the settlement of indemnity claims are agreed
that Germnay should pay 100,000,000,000 marks,
or approximately $20,000,000,000, in making
reparation. With his;' Americans not especially
concerned. We are Seeking' no reparation or in
demnity as a nation. What is of vital interest
over here is contained in the further conclusion
of trie dejegates'that "the United States is still
regarded, as the only banker who can furnish
Germany with the necessary credit." 1
The economic truth is that the debt of Ger
many to the Allies can only be paid as Germany
creates the wealth wherewith to pay it." Why,
then, should the obligation be transferred from
Germany tdthe United States? Is the willingness
of the American people to assist Europe in re
habilitating itself to be translated into terms of
acceptance of full financial responsibility? If so,
why not add.Jhe;. Austrian and Russian debts as
wgll, and make a clean job of it? If theUnited
States i to assume the one, it might as well take
on the others and thus avoid being accused of
showing favoritism. . 's
Just as Europe goes to work and by industry
and thrift redeems its obligations, working out
its salvation in terms of construction and pro
duction, just so will it speed its return to the
place abandoned when it entered the great war.
Americans will help along in this in all reason
able ways, but should not bV expected to assume
the burden of the insolvent, or to abandon the
advantage that comes through being the real
world's banker in order to permit jiower to re
turn to a center from which it has passed. The
Brussels conference may want to send the bill
to Uncle Sam, bit should discover if possible
his intentions before going too far.'.

1 What next for Caruso? A week seldom con
- tains more mishaps for any one man than did
that just past for the famous tenor. Misfortune
'Culminated Saturday when he ruptured a blood
vessel in his throat and had to give up in the
midst of an opera. In spite of that affliction he
"continues to sing, perhaps thinking that luck
will change or that ill-fortune cannot keepnp
forever. .. ' ' v V
The first of his .mishaps "came when, while
singing the role of Samson, in Saint Saen's opera,
he tugged too vigorously at the pillars and
brought one of them' down on his head with a
rmU Ciripii' tlinf lim, fo wa iinaM in fair
deep -breath, and perhaps this accj!ent had ;
something to do with te subsequent injury to
his throat. A few nights later the opera. 1
Pagliacci," was held up 25 minutes while thk
star nursed a painful bruise on his shins re
ceived in slipping down a flight of stage steps
when making a hurried exit The same night
his voice failed to soar to his famous "A"
natural, to the amaze of the critics.
If Caruso really has the excitable tempera
ment that public account has attributed to him,
he cannot be entirely complacent or calm at
these repeated blows of fate. Everyone will
understand how he feels especially those who
have ever dropped one of those grand opera
records of his and broken it to bits.
America's Debt to the Future.
The fond hope of each generation is tha
those who follow it will make more of the world
than it has done. Progress has, indeed, been
fairly continuous, as through experience and
inquiry new opportunities have been opened up.
The war, with its hatreds and destruction, has
borne heavily not only on .the men arid women
of today, but the childrenalso, and unless this
cruel fact is boldly faced, tivilization stands
more likelihood of dating its decline from the
world war than of meeting any of the glowing
promises of the warmakers. .
Throughout the.greater part of the continent
of Europe hunger and want are blighting the
budding girls and boys. .Laughter has died, and
with it threatens to take all the energy, vitality
and capacity for achievement of the next gen
eration. It is not merely that without aid from
Americans thousandsbn thousands must die, but
also that tflVse who do survive will in many
cases be deprived of health, of mental and physi
cal strength and, last of all, of that childish trust
and hope withoutivhich the world would seem
but a dreary waste. l-
This generation has not failed that can never
be said until its faltering hand fails to pass on
the torch of opportunity toose who soon will
have to take up the race. - It is not enough to
see that one's own children are properly
equipped for life, for they would only live to
bear the bitter penalty of the neglect of their
neighbors overseas.. The world has been
brought into such close relationship, one part
with another, 4hat its people must all go for
ward or backward together. ',
The American relief council has undertaken
the task of rais'ng $330,000 from' the people of
this state, ' in which is included Omaha's quota
of $52,000. The total .amount sought from
America runs well over $30,000,000. Gurdon
W. Wattles, who heads the movement for Ne
braska, says success in raising this child-feeding
fund will not only mean saving the lives of
European children, "'but may save the lives of
our own. "If these children live and learn that
they owe their lives to the people of America,"
he says, "we have built a fortification of love in
their hearts for America that will be 10-fold
stronger than a hundred fortifications and ma
chine guns manned by Americans in Europe."
To build this spirit of international good will
is truly ftit surest defense. Aged statesman may
barter and scheme for thsame selfish ends that
they have throughout history, but, if in the hearts
of the people" there lies peace, even their rulers
will be forced to abandon the old paths and give
more thaiiip service, to the brotherhood of the
nations. No mechanism can bring about in
ternational peace, no set of rutes adopted in
secret councils we must start with the hearts
of mankind.
During more than two years, the United
States is said to have spent more than $1,000,000
an hour for -war. Surely wean voluntarily
equal this rate for a day and a half for the sake
of our children and those over there.
A
Modem Industry Impersonal.
Two recent incidents serve to call attention
to a curious condition in which the rights of
private property appear to be fading. Only the
other day Samuel Untermyer, who claims to be
the largest stockholder in the Bethlehem Steel
company, called the president of that jcorpora
tion before an investigating body and questioned
him on certian practices that seemed t be cut
ting down the income of the business. Mr.
Grace admitted that he would not sell steel to
building firms employing union men? and Mr.
Untermyer, in the double role of public inves
tigator and part owner, recommended that the
policy be altered in fairness to both the people
and the investors.
Now comes a heavy stockholder in the Gug
genheim smelter industry, who charges that the
men in control of this concern have cost the
company millions by gambling in copper fu
tures and withholding a large part of thesmelt
er psoduct. He sues 0 obtain the list of
stockholders in order to consult them on the
matter of changing the management. y
It is only with the greatest difficulty that
this object can be obtained. Investors in stocks
and bonds nowadays most often have never
seen the property they . are helping finance,
know nothing of the policy under which' it is j
run, and ask no questions as long as their in
come is kept uo.
Too Late to Satisfy Ireland.
After fifty years of effort, Ireland has now
been granted home rule. If this concession to the
desire of the Irish to control their domestic af
fairs had been made even as late as the opening
of the world war, it quite possibly would have
quieted the dissension which has existed there
since Pitt ignored the question in 1800. But
recognition of the demand for an Irish parlia
ment comes too late, and not even the British
parliament which passed it can believe that the
measure will pacify John Bull's other island.
The details of this belated arrangement, givr
ing separate legislatures to the north and south
of Ireland, do not matter. It is certain that little
or no attention will be paid to them by those
Irish, who long since ceased to advocate home
rule to demand instead absolute independence.
Whether or not a compromise' giving Ireland
the status of a dominion, placing it on a level
with Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa, would now be possible has not been
ascertained, although Sir Horace Plunkett and
a number of other Irishmen of note .are said to
believe such settlement would be acceptable to
the people. However, just as home rule is given
after its capacity to satisfy has expired, so too
there is danger that the' proper moment for the
real' concession of dominionship will also be
passed by. ' x -

HOME CARE FOR CONSUMP
TIVE9. In view of the fact that not all
consumptives can -bo cared for in
sanitaria and hospitals the staff .of
the Chicago Municipal sanitarium
has ' written a pamplct on "Home
Treatment." They bciin by saying:
"This treatment can be secured
in completeness only at a sanitarium
where Automatism and regularity of
life can be instilled. We therefore
recommend at least a short period of
residence at a sanitarium for all
tuberculosis persons wherever this is
possible.
"Tho most important element is
rest. The Indications for absolute
rest are a temperature of 100 or
over, a persistent, rapid pulse, or
spitting of blood. All consumptives
being treated at home should begin
by going to bed for a while to see
how much rest and exercise affect
the symptoms. The patient who
goes to bed on account of either of
of the three symptoms referred to
must stay there until the symptom
Has disappeared.
"When the temperature has not
gone above 99.4 any day for several
days experiments in exercising. may
be begun. Sitting up in a,-chair, eat
ing at table, walking across the floor,
may be tried as the effect on the
temperature is being noted. Mental
rest, poise, and calm are about as
necessary as physical rest.
"The second essentia) is fresh air.
JJhe patient must be out in the open
for 24 hours a day or else he must
be where fresh air bldws over him
constantly. Cool air. not cold air.
Is the requirement. Night air Is
even better than day air.
The third essential 1st food. There
should be three good substantial
meals a day with a glass of milk or
two in between. At the same time,
the overfeeding must not be carried
to the point where it -ipsets the ap
petite or digestion or causes frequent
bilious spells. Some patients lose
Weight because they overeat and
bring on indigestion.
"When the time has come for
graduated exercises tho Marcus Pat
erson plan Is suggested for considera
tion. It consists of walking in the
open on a -level grade. 1. One-fourth
a mile a day for the first week. 2.
One-half a mila a day for the second
week. 3. Two miles a day for the
third week. 4. Four miles a day for
the fourth week. 5. At the end of
the fourth week some housework can
be done in addition to the walking
S. Six mila day for the fifth week
"The upper part of the body
should have exercise also.
"Convalescence must be pretty
well established before, this program
is entered on. No medicine should
be taken for cough.
"Heliotherapy or sutiburning done
properly is helpful. The house must
be kept exceptionally clean and
Everything possible ni'gt be done to
protect other members of the house
hold. "Tobacco smoking in moderation
in the open fefr is allowable. The
teeth should be brushed once a day
or oftener."
Have Heart Fxamincd.
F. A. C. writes: "After walking a
short distnncd I have a distressing
pain in the chest that compels me
to stop walking Is this caused by
indigestion, with which I am slightly
troubled, or- is it duo to heart ac
tion? I am 60 years old. What can
I do to relieve this pain?"
REPLY.
Pain in or around the heart which
comes on as a result of exercise gen
erally is a result of heart disease.

, Others perhaps with tears.
And then at home eome evening
I'd alt with my harp alone.
And my fingers would feel o'er tliu
strings ut steel
For all the old songs I have known.
Songs I have sung tn childhood
Hongs I have sung in school
Others, with pride, by mv sister's eldo
Standing beside her stool,
But the sonirs of tho sweetest memories
That would linger with uio, when
throiiKh,
Are tho songs we sung when the school
bell rang,
They'd remind me of home, and yuu.
