" Suggestions for amendment -to the law governing the sale of shares of corporation stock in Nebraska will revive many of the arguments indulged when the "blue sky" statute first came up for consideration. That state oversight of stock issues is a proper exercise of governmental authority is admitted. Yet this should not be interpreted to mean that the state is to become guarantor for the integrity of all schemes put forward or for 'the character of the socilitors who go about selling the shares. The law should have "teeth," and the stock" salesman who is overtaken in peddling doubtful or worthless is sues should be made to feel them. The last three years have been a period of reckless financing. It has not been confined to the wildcat ventures, but some really legitimate undertakings have been floated on an ocean of Vwater," and serious trouble has been en countered by some already, and may yet be by others. This is not the fault of the law, nor is it apparent that a law can be devised that will reach the spot Courts can be, and have been, appealed to in the process of making some of the promoters disgorge their rakeoff, but that is a slow and uncertain process. This finally throws the whole matter back to individual judg ment of the investor, who will very likely be more wary and make closer inquiry if he is warned in advance that the state will not step in to help him recover in case he repent of his bar gain. . - A business enterprise of any sort must rest on its character, and' this at the outset depends on that of the men who are promoting it. In the case of a stock issue flotation, prospective sub scribers can sot be expected to have sufficient acquaintance with its nature and the character of the men who are behind it to form a sound judg ment as to its value as an investment. But every farmer, merchant, business man, or other citizen with money has access to certain sources of re liable information. Let the prospective investor consult his banker, his attorney, or other busi ness advisor, in whom he has confidence and who is worthy to be trusted, and. beguided by his opinioti with regard to the merits of the enterprise seeking his money. It is foolish to trust the glib-tongued stranger, who comes along with his well prepared argument, his special training, and his undoubted powers of persuasion. Here him out, but et the advice of somebody, you know before taking hold. A few promoters do sell dependable stocks, but the bulk of the worth while investment paper is - marketed through agencies of established probity. 1 More often promotion schemes are paraded as "sure things," thus attracting a larger range of purchasers. The natural relationship of high profits to high risks is not taken into account as often as it should be, and ."blue sky" laws are utterly powerless to instill discretion into pur chasers. A dispatch from Lincoln lately re ported that the legislature may conclude that the present "blue sky" law does as much damage as good through the fact that many assume that any company able to pass the scrutiny of the state is in some way guaranteed to be profitable. Instead of investigating for himself, the small investor will accept the license to sell stock as evidence of a successful future for any concern having it. v 'If one would pause but for a moment and realize that no one can be certain of the fate of any business venture, less harm' would fall, and the benefit of blue sky laws would be indubit able. Certain evils such as excessive promotion charges, payment of dividends out of capital when there are no earnings, and like pieces of dishonesty can be prevented, but no law can make a privately conducted business a success or guarantee the acumen of its managers. Putting Puccini in Blackface. A fondness for popular music, no longer can be regarded as an indication of lack of taste, and critics who have lamented the lack of ap preciation for classical music and have scorned the tunes of the ballroom and the theater are at a loss. For many of those lively airs are laid under suspicion of having been filched from grand opera and the works of famous composers. A suit brought in New York City charges that Al Jolson, blackface jazz comedian who has been tickling the ears of the public with his song, "Avalon," has in reality merely been popu larizing the theme that recurs throughout the tenor aria of the last act of the opera, "La To8' ca." In asking an injunction, the holder of the copyright on the grand opera" contends that the chorus of the dance tune has been taken note for note from Puccini's song, "When the Stars Are Shining." A comparison of the scores shows at least a remarkable coincidence. The cruel disillusionment of those who scorned grand opera and prided themselves on their love of jazz and ragtime and of those who were equally vain of their appreciation for the classics does not stop here. It is now declared that composers of popular songs have frequent ly made use of themes from the famous com posers. That song, "I Am Always. Chasing Rainbows," hai been found to be based on the same theme ay Chopin' "Impromptu Fantasia.1 Goodbye Dollie, I Must Leave You," also oiieht to be familiar to every musician who knows Spohr's "Violin Concerto." That an ' cient favorite, "VVtrere Did You Get That Hat,' as the same succession of notes that introduces HITCHCOCK AND THE FARMERS. After eloquently urging through the columns of his paper some form of assistance for the farmers, with his own plan always in the spot light, the democratic senator from 'Nebraska nimbly jumps into the ring to oppose the first practical measure of relief brought forward. Of course, it is a republican measure, and therefore heretical, from a democratic point of view; yef it does not seem too much tb expect that even a democrat might be induced at a time like this to give his consent to anything in reason that would tend to help those for whose welfare he seems so solicitous. Senator Hitchcock, however, does not look at it that way. With all his power, he denounces, delays and seeks to sidetrack the bill which pro teoses to levy a tariff on wheat, as a means to check the importations of Canadian grain by market operators who are 'pounding down the price of that product. In this, the Nebraska senator poses still as a friend of the farmer I What other friends of the farmer ares lined up with him in his valiant battle? The attack is led, we read, by Senators Hitchcock, Harrison and Gerry Harrison of Mississippi, wnftse state raises slightly over one per cent as wheat as Nebraska; Gerry of Rhode Island, which state raised so little wheat that it is not even listed in the statistical sum maries. And on the other side, favoring a tariff on wheat, is Senator McCumber oftNorth Da kota, whose state runs a race with Kansas each year for the honor of first place among the wheat-producing states of the' union. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska stands alone among the representatives of the great wheat producing states in heading the battle against this bill. It is a sham, he cries. What the farmers need, he tells the senate, is credit, not a tariff. The Bee is not disposed to dispute the statement that the farmers have need of cedit, too. But the federal reserve banking system which con trols credit unfortunately was created and is being administered by a democratic administra tion which steadfastly has refused to heed the pleas and even prayers of farmers who have cried aloud to it for help in their time of dis appointment and distress. Senator Hitchcock would prefer, it appears, that the farmers go .unaided in their difficulties rather than they, should get help through a re publican measure. In choosing between his party creed and the agricultural industry of his state, he lines up with the party. We apprehend, how ever, that in this instance he will not find his party so strongly back of him. The.tariff bill, although threatened with a veto at the White House, will probably go through the senate, but this will not lessen the amazement of the home folks -at the attitude of the' senator, who pleads for the farmer through' his newspaper and op poses him on the tyloor of the senate.- t Taft, Ford and the Jews. Least of all in America where the races of the world have fused into a single great nation, every one contributing its part to progress and culture, is there room- for bigotry and defama tion. Here, if anywhere, should there be hope of a broad tolerance, a spirit of co-operation and an absence of petty or uriwise bickering or accusation. Such is4the American temperament as found in our former president, William How ard Taft, who. in his calm, judicial manner, late ly rebuked Henry Ford for the campaign of anti-Semitism now being conducted in the Bear- born Independent. "One of the chief causes of suffering and evil in the world today is race hatred," says Mr. Taft, "and any man who stimulates that hatred has much to answer for. When he does this by the circulation of unfounded and unjust charges and the arousing of mean and groundless fears, his fault is more to be condemned." By exploitation of the mythical protocols of "The Wise Men of Zion," Mr. Ford's maga zine has been endeavoring to link up the entire Jewish race in a plan to rule the world, joining international bankers with the persecuted and starving Jews of eastern Europe in an imaginary and ridiculous compact. Mr. Taft, finding no evidence of any such conspiracy asks why, if Jewish capitalists sway nations and even wield a world pow'er, more than half of the 13,000,000 Jews in the world are now suffering bitter op pression and starvation. Against this rock the whole of Mr. Ford's propaganda is wrecked. One has but to wad the thin-spun arguments of the anti-Semites, who are active not only here, but in England and throughout Europe, to realize the flimsiness of the allegations. It cannot be forgotten, that Mr. Ford a few years ago sent forth 'a peace ship, designed to proclaim the brotherhood of men. The world then said that he went too far in a visionary but ideal direction, and now, in his attack on the same principle of brotherhood, he has also al lowed his imagination to lead him far afield, in the opposite direction. ' AUne 0 Type or Two Haw to the Line, lat the culpa fell whare they may. Higher taxes on tobacco, if they are reflected in the prices, will make smoking easier to stop and harder to begin, which ought to be a com fort to Lucy Page Gaston and the smoke pre vention society. 'The Begum of Bhopal, who has purchased several thousand watches in the hope of teaching her subjects punctuality, might have ordered alarm clocks but for fear of revolution. The Oregon scientist who is undertaking a study of the life and habits of the sardine must not overlook the possibilities tfV be found in most any street car at the rush hour. ' Once in a while a man is found who does not believe b deflation, such as the. dealer in New York City ,who sold Christmas trees at $30 each. If that cruel war at Fiume keeps on, the mag' azines will have to start printing serials, short stories and poems by D'Annunzio. ' If some people feared judges at much as others fear bandits, this would not be aueh a bad old world. 1 HOT STIFF. y (Martial, VII., J 5.)

"THE lunatic, the lover, and the poet are of imagination all compact," is a well known line in Bartlett's Familiar Mouthfuls. It applies, rather patly, to d'Annunzio, who has distinguished him self in lunacy, love and song. Him, too, Hazlitt hit off well in an essay. Speaking of poets, "Their flights and fancies," he said, "are delightful to themselves and everybody else, but they make strange work of matter of fact, and if they were allowed to act in public affairs would oon turn the world wrongside out." That part of the world known as Fiume is turned wrong side out, and the problem is to turn it back again. ONE GARMENT MAKER TO ANOTHER. (From the New York Trade Record.) "How's business?" "Picking up a little. One of my men got a $3,000 order yesterday. ' "Go away. I don't believe that" "Honest he did. I'll show you the cancella tion." WHEN Princess Anastasia is mentioned as "nee Mrs. William B. Leeds" the error is under standable; the writer thinks that "nee" is French for "formerly." But we can only conjecture what is meant by the phrase which appears fre quently in advertisements, "experience essential but not necessary." We conjecture that the ad vertiser thinks "essential" is the equivalent of "desirable." ' The Toonervillo Fire Department (From the Clearbrook, Minn., Leader.) At about five o'clock 'Saturday evening the Are alarm called out our citizens to the home of O. J. Hansen, where a chimney was fiercely burning out. Although the brick chimney was at a high heat from the flames, an examination found there was no danger or igniting the house, and the blaze was watched until it died out before all left the scene. ARTHUR SHATTUCK sued for apprecia tion in Fond du Lac the other evening, playing, according to the Reporter, "a plaintiff melody with great tenderness." The jury returned a verdict in his favor without leaving their seats. THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH ON IMMIGRATION. O Liberty, white Goddess! is it well To leave the gates unguarded? On thy breast Fold Sorrow's children, soothe the hurts of Fate, Lift the down-trodden, but with hands of steel Stay those who to thy sacred portals come - To waste the gifts of Freedom.

EVERY LITTLE VIVE HELPS. - Sir: A gentlewoman "who spoke with an American accent" had a little altercation with a London bobby, which resulted in her being pre sented at Court (Bow Street Police) the follow ing day. No doubt her "American accent" be trayed her when voicing her American senti ments, as she did when she told the bobby: "If it had not been for me and my friends, you and your country would not be here, you overgrown bully!"

To the Scotch servants in her mother-in- law's house she was something of an enigma. One of them told her that she "spoke Eng- N . lish very well for a foreigner." One day she heard two of them talking about a Mr. V McCullo who had just returned from Africa. "He's merrit a black woman," said one, and in a mirror the other was seen to point to Mrs. Stevenson's back and put her finger to her lips as though to say: "Don't mention black wives before her!"

"My baby is IV, months old. She has had malted milk since birth. She weighed eight pounds and now only weighs 14 4. She has had eczema on her face for several months. She has two teeth. I have been adding a tablespoonful of cream to a bottle of the malte milk for a week or two. Which would be the best, doing as I am now, using pure cow's milk or a&ding a little malted milfi to the cow's milk? Should the cow's milk be diluted and, if so, how much? Js it good for a baby to chow fat bacon slightly cooked?" ; Your baby is practically twice as heavy as at birth. She is doing well enough, except for the eczema. Most cases of eczema on the face are due to too much lat Give her less cream. A baby 7 months old should not take undiluted milk. t Ordinarily there is no oblection to permitting a baby to suck fat meat, but your baby is already getting too much fat. On Russia As a Redeemer. Omaha, Dec. 24. To the" 'Editor of The Bee: The man who recently refuesd to accept a legacy qf a mil lion dollars cannot be considered much sillier than the nation has proved itself to be in its attitude to ward Russia. Here we have the spectacle of a nation striving to recover from the effects of war, yet being turned away from our door when it comes, not asking for tag days and relief drives, but actually ottering us gold and raw materials for Sufficient of our product to keep our factories humming for years. While textile workers are -tramping the streets jobless and textile mills are closed down, Russia is begging for the chance to give us gold in exchange for clothing for her children. While the cotton growers 'of the south are unable to sell the bales of cotton they have piled up after months of hard labor, Russia would be glad of the chance to buy to morrow a quarter ot a million bales. Russia is in need of everything from cups and saucers to plows and locomotives. She is not asking us to have tag days and donate these things. The people of- Russia, through their government,' wish to buy these things and pay for them, not with depreciated marks or should be solved as the Bohemian problem was solved ? v But the lords and dukes of Eng land will have nothing but "as Is." Greed is their God and Lloyd George is his prophet. They will not be come liberals until the unemployed shall have become anarchists. And th.at will' be but tomorrow when, the mob will compVehend that bolshe vist Russia has triumphed. The Germans and the Irish are the na tural and the ancient foes of an archy, and today they are being driven into anarchy. To America another failure of liberalism means, at the least, a ruined Europe to be clothed nd fed. Speak out. Amer icans, the world must heed your counsel. THOMAS LYNCH.

Fruit for Diabetes Patients. W. G. W. writes: "1. For those af flicted with diabetes or Bright's disease are oranges, grapefruit, and pears considered the best fruit? I am using them but do not com mence on grapefruit until Christ mas time, because of their "seem ing so green that I suspect the juice has too much acid. - "2. Is there too much acid in lemonade as a morning drink? "3. In eating freely of our home grown fall apples I was troubled with gas and a bloat that was very distressing. Should apples be 'cut out entirely by those having kidney trouble? "VThls Is my diet: One quart milk daily, 2 oranges, 2 pears. Later in place of pears, prunes or pineapple sauce. Good results. No salts needed." REPLY. 1. Oranges, grapefruit, and pears always are wholesome for Bright's disease patients. If you eat your fruit . without adding sugar it . is wholesome in 'diabetes. 2. No. 3. Many people have too much fermentation in the large intestine when they eat many apples. On the other hand, this promotion of fermentation in the large intestine la one reason that eating apples is a remedy fair constipation in many cases. There is no objection to ap ples in the diet of either Bright's or diabetes patients unless the fer mentation induced is objectionabiel . 4. You do not say what your trouble is and you may even have both albuminuria and diabetes, but the diet proper for the one is as much different from that for the other as night from day. The diet given' is not fitted for either. If that-is all you are eating you are not eating enough, and if you keep it up you will become a cropper. You May Be Too Fat. C. J. E. writes: "1.

After having heart, lungs, kidneys and blood pressure tested, what other catise would there be for shortness of breath?" REPLY. 1. There are many causes of sud den death.

To the Editor of The Bee: This morrdng's Bee tells of Christmas in London, of the rich Westsider's dining in their old time splendor, of the poor Eastsiders shivering and hungry, of a .million Englishmen unemployed, and of officers of the late war-for-dem-ocracy begging in the streets, their faces masked to save their pride. If these men fail as beggars the British government - will employ them In Ireland at a pound a day. What a spectacle is thus presented of aH empire . starving its own heroes in order to oppress a small republic. And the empire owes its very life, not Ho mention a few billion dollars, to tho great republic which has served as a model for the small re public. Can any American; can any liberal in the world, take a milder view of the situation than that taken by' the British General Smuts, who said that the British empire should go the way pf - the other European empires and" that'the Irish problem rather than the muscles and valves. IBy organic heart disease we mean especially disease of the valves. 3. Shortness of breath may be due to obesity, anemia, soft, flabby muscles, lack of exercise. It may indicate heart disease of a type that is easily overlooked by ordinary examination.
