TAe Bee's Platform
1. New Union Passenger Station
2. Continued improvement of the Ne
braska Highway, including that pave
ment of Main Tkoroufkfara leading
into Omaha with a Brick Surface, .
3 A short, lowirato Waterway from the
Cora Belt to the Atlantic Ocean.
4. Homo Rule Charter for Omaha, with
City Manager form of Government.
FOR THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
The announcement by President Reed, of the
Board of Education that immediate steps will
be taken to sell the waiting bonds, this to be
followed by prompt work on the proposed High
School of Commerce, must sound good to the
people of Omaha. Equally welcome is the state
ment that no further temporary construction
will be done on the present site. We have had
enough of that
It will be necessary to secure permission
from the legislature to market the school bonds
at a higher rate of interest than 5 per cent. How
much more can not be told, but the tone of the
money market is in favor of the city, and it is
quite likely that the securities can be marketed
' at a figure that will not entail a great increase
" in the cost of the building. However this may
be, all will agree that the community can stand
a little added expense if it will ensure the safety
and convenience of the children who attend the
school.
In this connection The Bee ventures to ex
press a hope that nothing will be done to hamper
the Board of Education in its efforts to sell the
bonds. It is not a time to interpose objections
based on trivialties or technicalities. When the
legislature has passed the simple law that will
be required, and the history of the bond issue is
prepared so that its record will satisfy the pur
chaser, . then the transaction should suffer no
" delay.
Under the present program, Mr. Reed ex
presses the hope that ground will be broken
about March 1 for the new school building.,
When a start- is made, it should be prosecuted
with all possible expedition, to the end that the
present plant may b abandoned at the earliest
possible moment
' air. Reed's statement contains much of com
fort for all patrons of the city schools, and
especially for those whose children are students
at the High School of Commerce. It shows a
commendable spirit on part of the board, which
' can earn further praise by keeping 'at this job
till it is completed.
Von Bethmann-Hollweg.
Theobald von Bethmahn-Hollweg will be re
membered for his "scrap of; paper" utterance
long after his other contributions to history have
passed from the public mind. As a statesman
he was thoroughly committed to the imperialistic-militaristic
German policy. In some ways
he ranks nearer to Bismarck than any of the
great Iron Chancellor's successors. His foreign
policy lacked something of the finesse that dis
tinguished von Caprivi's career, but he was com
mitted to the "peaceful penetration" method,
and carried on with persistence the general plan
of isolating England. At the end, however, he
sought to hold the British government back from
entering the war, and his parting with Sir
Edward Goshen was a genuine tragedy, for each
knew how much depended on the course that had
been determined upon.
" It is not easy to separate von Bethmann
Hollweg from the junker group, in which he
was such a commanding figure, nor is it neces
sary that he should be so set apart. As the
chancellor of the empire, he stood between the
. emperor and the people; his utterances were
those of his imperial master or of the council
that surrounded the throne and urged Germany
along the road that ended in war. His share of
blame should be equal to what would have come
to him with victory. When he was displaced
at the behest of a singular political combination,
that ofthe Catholics and socialists in the Reichs
tag, the world got its first Intimation that the
"will to win" in Germany was weakening.
. He was one German leader who did not
underestimate America's strength, and who did
give warning as to the probable effect of the
unrestricted U-boat warfare. It was this atti
tude that brought him into disfavor with the
military group and made his downfall easier.
His place in history is secure, and the conscien
tious student will find much of interest in his
career. .
Tackling the Tax Problem.
A forecast of the activities of the several
- atatt legislatures convening this month indicate
a single point in common. Each is confronted
with the problem of taxation. Adjustment of
revenue to expenditure is a prime object, but
an even greater one is to devise new sources of
revenue. At the recent conference of governors,
held at Harrisburg, Governor Sproul outlined
. the happy state in which PenrfMvania finds
itself. An insignificant tax on mining, quarrying,
or any one of several industries would more
than care for all the state expenses and let all
other property go scot free. Some other states
are not so well fixed as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
for example. Up there they are proposing now
to add a single tax feature, to fall on unused
land exclusively. Some of the others propose
novelties for raising revenue, but all exhibit an
interest in, the topic that has not been noted for
several years. It is quite apparent that, the
pending spree hat passed,, and that some care
both as to outgo and income will be shown by
the authorities for awhile, Nebraska is included
in the list, and the legislature now in session has
the item of taxation right at the top of its pro
gram.
Rtavis Jfofea for Economy. v
President Wilion, it is hoped, wilt be chary
of the use of his veto power in the remaining
days of his term in office. The test was avoided
on the bill of Congressman Reavis providing
for the appointment of three members of the
house and three senators to' plan reorganization
of the government departments. Jhis joint reso
lution, it is announced,, was mislaid in some
executive office and hence becomes a law under
the rule that measures neither signed nor vetoed
within 10 days automatically become effective.
Word from the White House is that the presi
dent would hive given the bill his approval, and
indeed it is difficult toVsee how anyone could
object to the move to eliminate overlapping in
the executive departments, with its result of
economy and efficiency. , In steering this resolu
tion through congress, Mr. Reavis showed that
there were 3 separate, government agencies,
scattered through the Various departments, en
gaged in engineering works; that 25 different
offices in Washington ore concerned with sur
veying and mapping) 27 in building operations;
16 in public roads; l4 doing work on rivers: 10
contacted with public lands and 15 making
chemical investigations.
Undoubtedly the ' Nebraska congressman is
correct in believing that the co-qdination of this
chaotic state of affairs is necessary both for
governmental reason's' and financial. The task
will be taken up without being committed to
the establishment of any new cabinet posts, al
though it may be found that the creation of a
department of public welfare and even of a de
partment oi public works is advisable. The sub
ject is one that warrants painstaking investiga
tion, and Congressman Reavis deserves a great
deal of credit for this piece of constructive legis
lation. .
( Pursuit of the Spirochete.
Determining the diameter of Betelgeuse and
Uscovering that' the great star will contain
27,000,000 objects the size of the sun, while it
will take 30,000,000,000 globules, like the earth to
equal its bulk, is viry interesting, but the Michel-
son announcement was followed by one that is
far more enraging. Dr.' Simon Flexner, speak
ing for the Rockefeller research work, told of
the isolation of the spirochete by Noguchi, the
Japanese investigator who has been working
under the board in the quest for the specific
germ of yellow fever. The spirochete can be
sustained in life outside the human organism,
and thus a culture is possible from which a
serum is obtained and this in turn is a specific
against the deadly feer. "Yellow Jack" is finally
conquered through this discovery. Dr. Flexner
told of the pursuit of other organisms so minute
that they escape through the pores of earthen
ware filters, but these will eventually be run
down by the persisting men of science, who know
a a. .1 ' . ie m e . i? .
ho respite wnen on tne trail pi a aisease-oreeaing
germ. These things do not excite the wonder
occasioned by the rnessure of the giant suns,
but humanity is far, more concerned by the de
tection of the "little things whose presence so
frequently derange the bodily mechanism, and
the capture of spirochete will bring more bene-
fit to the race than the tfiangulation of a dozen
or more of stars like Alpha Orionis.
' Terrorism in Ireland.
The nen admission "of the British military
authorities in Ireland that fhey have burned
r&ofisal for an ambush gives
color to the charges so often made and denied
- .". . 4 rt a
that this form ot retaliation was omciauy in
dorsed. These tactics, made horrible to the world
when the Germalis marched through Belgium
and burned ' the homes of snipers and even
destroyed whole villages as a part of their cruel
military policy, win amaze every man aim
woman who thought that this ruthlessness was
forever stamped out bj the Allied victory.
The neutral wbrld, watching the struggle of
the Irish people for independence, will not be
won to admiration and support of the British
empire by deeds rijch as these. Nor can the
spirit of any people be broken by reliance on
medieval 'methods such as these. Official ap
proval of the burning of homes in Ireland may
mark the final destruction of the last possibility
n( ihf mihiection or reconciliation of Ireland.
Clearly this if a last resort of the British military.
and if it fails to pacify, nothing snort ot exterm
ination or independence can xesuit
Dkcnverv that the ancient Americans had a
4S-storv aoartment building with 1,000 rooms
carved in the face of a mountain does not prove
their civilization since ho traces of there hav
ing been either landlord or janitor have been

ALBANISM.
An albino is one who is practically
without pigment in certain places
in his body. Davenport calls it ex
treme blondncss, and yet there la
no gradation between natural blond
neas and albinism. The most blond
Scandanavian is very definitely dif
ferent from an albino.
Thij place where the lack of pig
ment causes the greatest discomfort
is the eyes. The normal eyeball la
hung with a dark curtain called the
choroid. This layer lies next to the
hard outer white layer called the
sclerotic. The choroid is there for
the purpose of preventing light from
getting into the "dark chamber" pf
the eyes in any quantity, except
through tho phutter hole in the
front. Peel off the porcelain white
sclerotic and tho dark curtain chor
oid is revealed. In an albino this
coat may bo there; but it has no
pigment.
The shutter in front Is called the
iris. The shutter hole through
which the ray light normally enters
properly is called the pupil, though
in tho language of the street the
shutter and not the hole la called
4he pupil. We loosely apeak of the
color of the pupil when we mean
the color of the iris. In albinos
there la no pigment tn the iris.
in consequence or tne Jack or pig
ment in the iris ana in tne choroid
light leaks In from all sides, and
that which comes in through the
lens and pupil is met by cross rays,
The interior bf the eye, which
should be dark for good vision, is
lighted up by rays leaking in from
all sides.
The albino is uncomfortable and
nearly sightless in daytime for the
same reason that an owl la help
less m daytime. In an attempt to
gain comfort his faco is puckered
up and his eyelids are squinted near
ly shut.
The absence of nurment in the
hair does little harm. In fact, the
hair of an albino la regarded by
some as attractive.
The absence of pigment in the
skin may result in a very attractive
complexion, but there, too. some
discomfort is caused.
Th interior of the body is better
off If the skin filters out the light
part or the sun's rays, witness the
deep pigmentation which develops
in the skin of those who live out
doors in the tropics.
Albinism is an Inherited condi'
tlon. When both parents are al
binos all the children can be ex
pected to be albinos. When an al'
bino marries a person with none of
his tendency in the stock none of
the children will be albinos. When
two persons not albinos, but with
the tendency in their family stock,
marry, one-quarter of the children
will bo albinos.
Food to Increase Milk.
N. C. M. offers the following sug
gestions to L. P. and other mothers
whose supply of breast milk is
scanty: Soak one Quart of wheat
bran in two quarts of clean water
for four or five hours. Drink the
solution freely. Use boiled wheat
for breakfast food daily. N. C. M.,
having had some satisfactory ex

mash to a sow which was nursing
seven husky pigs, decided to try it
with his wifo, who was nursing a
lusty boy and whose milk was prov
