organized farmers have three or four lobbyists,
and the labor unions a full quota also. ,
The increase in numbers and activity of the
lobby at Washington need not be taken as an
indication of increasing venality in public life.
It signifies instead the awakening of the people,
arid probably there are as many lobbyists trying
to keep congress straight as there are trying to
make it crooked.
LEADING TO SOLID GROUND.
The American National Live Stock conven
tion is one of the most important of our indus
trial groups, and its deliberations are always
matters of genuine interest. Naturally, the del"
egatea are lpoking but for their own welfare,
and whatever resolutions they adopt may be
expected to be tinged with something of self
ishness, although in the main directed to a pol
icy intended to conserve the public good. It
is worthy of note, then, that one of the reso
lutions brought forward at 1 Paso this week
had to do with the ultimate establishment of
municipal markets for the sale of meat products;
This it in keeping with one of the alterna
tives proposed for a solution of the stockyards'
problem, that the railroads be required to tafcal
over the business and maintain the yards as an
adjunct to their terminals. Such an outcome
would be satisfactory enough to the" packers,
and undoubtedly to the growers, who recom
mend it. The plan would release to the pack-,
ers some (300,000,000 of capital, which could ho
employed in their business otherwise quite as
well as it is in carrying on the stockyards, but
where would the railroads,- already . borrowing,
from the government,' get the money to take
over the packers' burden? ...
The point is that each of the solutions pro-;
posed leads ultimately to the engagement of the
ovemment in business now -privately carried
in. One of the indictments against the Wilson
tdministration was its meddling with business,
f s it wise to propose a continuance, and even
in extension of this meddling to the point of
government ownership: of some of he means
for marketing? If we set out on such a course,
where will a halt be made, short of the complete
application of the Marxian doctrine? A .little
study 'of economic determinism may assist
some who .are very enthusiastic about , govern
mental interference in making up their minds
'sn this vital poynt. ' ''
In the meantime, it is pleasing to record
hat business is getting back to soljd ground,
nd Without the sacrifice of any of the" principles
on yhich'it rests. Liquidation is proceeding
ipace, confidence is being restored,' and a re
rival is in prospect Governor Harding of the
Federal" Reserve bank optimistically 'expresses
himself, -while the heads of the great steel cor
porations and , other' big concerns are equally
confident; The little fellow, still pulling hard
against the stream to make his over-stramed
credit and unduly expanded business weather
the current of contraction does not see the port
ahead, perhaps, but it is there. Some may not
reach it, but the expectations are that the list
of disasters will fall far short of the number
anticipated a few weeks ago.
As to the world situation, this comment from
the New York Times;, is worth reading;, for it
follows a careful analysis of the whole situation:'
The deflation of the world's paper money
and restoration of the gold standard are a
matter of years, perhaps decades, even a gen
eration. As a stopgap no nation can supply
paper of the. endorsed indemnity bonds. The
world is waiting for them before the, world
budgets can be balanced and inflation stopped.
If the Federal Reserve warning of 1918 is
readagain, it will be understood why the
process through which the world is passing
is not. the reverse of inflation. The world is. ,
not vet producing faster than it is creating
purchasing power, and until then ' deflation is
not begun. The world is only liquidating a
commercial deadlock by bankruptcies in differ
ing degree in various countries. It is painful
surgery, but is the only way. When the world
produces consumable goods faster than pur
chasing power, other currencies' will rise to
the standard of the dollar and "normalcy"
will have returned between nations, as Gov
ernor Harding says it has returned to this
. country. . ,.
Lobbyists of Many Kinds.
Senator KenyonV fear of the swarms of
lobbyists in Washington will strike a hardened
public as somewhat grotesque. Poor, innocent
congress should be protected from the people
who linger in the corridors, flock into private
offices and hang around the hotels, the gentle
man from Iowa exclaims. Former government
officials, and ex-congressmen who have the right
to go upon the floor of the house, he declares,
are representing all sorts of interests and trying
to influence legislation.
Oil and lumber interests are among those he
singles out for special mention, and it no doubt
is true that great aggregations of capital such
as these have In the past exercised an evil in
fluence in government. It is difficult, however,
to separate one sort of lobbyist from another,
and the tendency of late has been to set one
lobbyist to watch another.
Thus, while the packers may have an agent
spying out events in Washington and doing
what he can, to, protect his clients, the stock
men, who are urging' restrictive legislation ol
the meat industry, also have their spokesman.
No congressman can hear one side of a question
without having to listen to the other. The in
formation, biased though it must be, in many
instances may-prove useful to the lawmakers,
who obviously can not know everything, and
must rely on expert testimony. ' ,
The common people have taken up the idea,
and it is said that there are now more than 200
different bureaus representing public and private
causes in the .national capital,'. Ex-Corigress-woman
Jeanette Rankin enters the house of
representatives as a lobbyist for the Smith
Towner bill for belter care of maternity. The
Prohibition and Common Sense
Attorney General Palmer testified before
congress that he would not be surprised to see
60,000 cases handled by the Department of
Justice this year under the prohibitory laws, and
asked for an appropriation of $300,000 for prose
cuting bootleggers and moonshiners. " Arrests
under the dry laws up to October numbered
17,566, and 10,000 of that number arose in the
last three months of the period, which is taken
as forecasting a progressive increase for this
year.
At the same time the bureau of internal
revenue requested $100,000,000 for fighting the
outlaw liquor traffic, a sum which has been
scaled down by the house to $7,100,000. Even
this figure is almost three times the amount
asked by the attorney general for the detection
and prosecution of all other crimes. It is diffi
cult to view the appropriation as Congressman
Volstead is said to do, as making enforcement
a joke . :
Prohibition, In spite of the great number of
violations, has not , failed in the United States.
Drinkmg has fallen off with the abolishment
of, the saloon, and few indeed are the men who
now consume as much liquor as they did a few
years ago. ' There is no question but that adop
tion of the dry amendment was backed by the
majority opinion of the land, and it is only this
fact that makes any large degree of enforcement
.possible. If the dry laws were not backed by
public opinion, not even $100,000,000 wouldbe
sufficient to force their observance.
The overweening determination of friends, of
prohibition and of some of the federal agents
who hive violated the privacy of homes and
resorted to . unpopular means of checking
evasions of the spirit of the law perhaps have
Son tonsiderable harm to their cause, Forma-.
teon of, -a '.spV. systetri, with the resultant tre
mendous 'expense, would do more to nullify the
law than would a common ' sense attitude in
which a favorable public opinion would be
maintained and increased. It will not do for
the government to regard illicit traffic in liquor
as more serious than burglary or manslaughter
for public opinion does not go so far. The most
that is expected or desired is that the prohibi
tory laws" be enforced just as any other part of
the statutes, without unnecessary expense or
undue display of authority;

" "Sugar" in the Cuban Crisis. .
American influence in Cuba is not strength
ened nor will home resoect for the State de
partment be increased by disclosures made in
connection with Acting Secretary of State
Davis and his relations to the Menocal govern
ment. Since 1899 more or less scandal has been
brewing because of exploitation of the island's
resources by American investors. Legitimate!
development of the sugar and other industries
there has proceeded steadily, aided by American
capital, while the example and oversight of our
government has been immensely helpful to the
islanders; who are struggling to maintain their
independence.
, yn(prtunately for all, it now develops that
the temporary head of the State department has
been deeply involved m a proceeding that had
for its. end the amassing of huge profits at the
expense of Cubans. It is equally lamentable
that President Menocal had interposed against
the promoters and on behalf of the public,
while his chief political rival, former President.
Gomez, is interested the other "way. It is quite
possible that the merits of the case are on the
other side, and that Menocal is merely endeav
oring to evade the terms of a contract that was
honestly entered into, and from which the Cu
bans would derive- great benefits. This is a
matter which must be left to further inquiry.
On the surface, however,, the situation presents
an aspect that is not at all edifying.
' i The one redeeming feature of the whole
affair is that our side of it is in ill hands of
Gen. Enoch H. Crowded whose probity is be
yond cavil, and who has the confidence of the
Cubans equally with that of his countrymen1
The incident is illuminating as to some feature
of the peculiar administration that is just now
coming to its close: r
" Woman' Dress and Weddings.
A Pittsburgh preacher gets passing attention
by his action in refusing to officiate at wedding
ceremonies in the evening because of the fash
ion of woman's gowns. He may and probably
will satisfy his. own conscience on the point,
yet it is not likely his action will seriously
affect prevailing modes. 'One of the peculiar
characteristics of the female sex is that its
members satisfy themselves as far as possible
in selecting clothes, and when they have achieveT
that they -do hot especially worry as to what
others think. The decollete gown came into
vogue many, many years ago; it has undergone
scathing denunciations of reformers and
moralists; has sustained shocks from pulpit and
press, has submitted to some modifications at
the dictum of modistes, but has persisted in
form, and principle through all the vicissitudes
of changing fashions and unchanging prudery.
Until lovely woman changes her mind as to.
what she will put oh or leave off, the Pittsburgh
parson may rest assured he will not be .troubled
with a rush of wedding parties in the evening,
unless he recedes from his position.-
Japan's sorrow over the shooting by a sentry
of an American officer on duty may be better
expressed by some form of acknowledgment of
the serious blunder, rather than by ingenuous
explanations that the offending soldier is "very
ignorant" An impression to that effect that is
general over here includes the majority of the
Japanese race.
Extremes met when a socialist and a royalist
deputy fought in the French chamber, affording

were in arms, so to speak, because their,
slumbers were disturbed by the rattle-bang
of a flat wheel on one of the cars on that
line. They voiced a protest and evidently
obtained the relief sought for, but at the ex
pense of the people along the Summit ave

same nerve-racking noisa from probably the
same flat wheel tranferred to another car.
Now If the traction company will transfer
that wheel to the old cattle car run on the

"FOR THAT COLD!"
Dr. K. B. Fantus has the courage
to predict' that we will not have
an epidemic of influenza of the Oc
tober, 1918, or even of the January,
lSl'O, type during the winter and
spring of 1921. He does think we
will have an unusual provalence of
colds, many of which will be mud
forms of influenza. Ha suggests that
we group all these Infections under
the .general neaa catarrnai rever.
That we treat them as such. That
we make no effort to separate out
cusps of influenza.
Havlrfg made this prophecy, he de
scribes, in the Journal of the Araer
ican Medical association, catarrhal
fever, and its treatment; As 99 per
cent of these cases are home treated,
I pass the Fantus treatment on to
the people.
To prevent colds, keep in the cool
open air as much as possible. Take
cold air walks and rides, skate, snow
shoe, harden yourself by exposure.
that is, if you are not very old . or
very infirm. But if, in spite of hard
ening yourself." you get sick with
catarrhal fever, go to bed quickly
and stay there until the fever stage
has been gone for about three days.
To fall to coddle when you have
catarrhal fever ib as bad policy as
is coddling as a means of prevention
Get in bed and keep warm. Do not
chill yourself.
Sweating may do some good If the
clothes are kept dry. Otherwise it
does harm. Take a glass of lemon
ade, to which a quarter of a tea
SDoonful of baking soda has been
added, every two hours during the
waking hours. Or IB to so grains
of sodium citrate in lemon or orange
sirup every two hours. From half
a glass to one glass oi water every
hour.
Cathartics should not be taken. If
necessary use an enema, ir'tnere is
vomiting, take no fluid or food by
mouth hut small 'enemas, , two to
eight ounces of a 2 per cent solution
of baking soda every two hours. As
soon as the nausea lets up, take
carbonated water and later flavored
water. '
An occasional dose of acetyl sal
icylic acid may not do harm, but
taking it regularly and ,in quanti
ties will. . 1
To encourage cough, drlnK water
freely. Opiate, cough mixture uo
harm. If a laxative becomes neces
sary, take cascara. or-magnesia.
To summarize go to Dea ana stay
there, keep warm, drink lots of
water, take lemonade, containing
soda. Besides that, take little and
do little. - .'
Cure is Chiefly Mental.
Mrs. M. B.' S. writes: "One night

whose age Is 29 years, had his blood

him his pressure was extremely low.

Is low blood pressure dangerous I"

Low blood pressure Is not serious
in that it is liable to cause death
Nothing would be gained by seeing
a physician. People with' low blood
pressure generally complain of a
multitude of Ills In this group be-.
long the lackadalaical, Invalids who
go through lif e as . semi-invalids,
spending a good part of the time in
bed with very much complained of
but ill defined ills, but who generally
live to a ripe old oge, attending the
funerals of their hale, hearty con
freres. Since men are less often in
a position to afford the luxury of
semi-invalidism, most of the above
mentioned Kroun are women. :
The people with low blood pres
sure lack pep, snap, go, vigor,
energy, force. They are frequently
under weight, under nourished and
under developed. They are sup
posed to be short on, secretion of
some pepgiving ductless gland. They
cart be cured, but not by taking
medicine. Cure is a matter of train
ing. They must be taught to en
thuse, to walk, work, think and talk
fast and hard; to get angry, to In
dulge in emotions generally. Their
outlook on life must be changed.
The cure is primarily mental, moral
and spiritual, and only secondarily
physical. v '

Wants Some New Laws.
Kearney, Neb., Jan. 10. To the
Editor of The Bee: The letter by
.Mr. Claiborne regarding a restitu
tion law is certainly full, of good
common sense, based on sound logic,
and would do more to decrease crime
than any measure heretofore enacted
and It seems strange that our large
dailies does not comment on this
more freely. If they would show the
same energy in this regard they do
when election rolls around, the com
mon people would derive more bene
fit from Ihe work of the legislature.
For years our solons have been con
tent with sticking a few mystifying
generalities on the statute books then
fold their tents, draw the money and
return home glorifying in their labors
for the common people and a law
that is backed by sound common
sense and logic if even introduced
never gets out of the pigeon hole.
Some years ago it was suggested
to certain members ot the legislature
that a law compelling doctors to
write their prescriptions in common
English instead of Latin would be a
good thing and would save thousands
of dollars to the poor and amicted.
besides eliminating numerous mis
takes which creep in by using foreign
language, and we would have found
out how much we were paying 'for
changing an ounce of syrup of figs
from one bottle to another and put
ting a label on it.
Such a measure as this was very
likely figured by our wise men . as
absolutely un-American and Imma
terial as no action of any kind was
taken. It seems strange that the
common everyday people have to
put up thousands of dollars to per
petuate the records ot a vanished
age, but apparently this - measure,
like the restitution proposition, would
meet the desires of the great ma
jority and afford some relief and
those measures never have a ghost
ot a show of being enacted. What
we generally get is something we
cannot understand and are divided
as to its Intent so we can spend our
money in. the law courts trying to
find the intent and meaning of it.

1. In many cases is.
2. It does not seem to me you have
enough bronchitis to worry about.
Why do anything?

Verily, it is highest .
praised, as well as
highest priced.
Only square dealing, quality prod
ucts and integrity of purpose could
place the L. V. Nicholas Oil Company
where it stands today a leading In
dependent Oil Organization.
. A company can have a quick, growth
' for a time without delivering Quality
Goods, but it cannot have the steady,
consistent growth we have enjoyed,
without goods which will do all and
more than we claim for them.
The L. V. Nicholas Oil Company is
built on Quality Products, is an
Omaha concern, a beautifier of its
city and the money we make sticks in
town.
Those who purchase Nicholas Oils
know they can write after the ledger
entry "Value Received." .
