The house judiciary committee undoubtedly felt justified in dismissing the Welty application for the impeachment of Kcncsaw Mountain Lan dis. Its intention of doing so was manifest by the narrow scope given the inquiry. This is re grettable, for the meat of the matter was not exposed. However, the waters had been so mud died by the injection of extraneous issues that the house committee evidently did not feel 'like opening up a way to an unprofitable considera tion of many things that have no bearing on the head, of the judge's offending. Holding Mr. Welty to consideration of matters susceptibli in support of the "high crimes and misdemeanors" charge, the inquiry was closely restricted and the only decision possible under the circumstances came forth. This will not remove the strong impression, so largely held, that the action of Judge Landis in "trying to serve tw o masters, at least to the extent of drawing two pay checks from different paymasters, is wrong. No written law forbids him, but some sense of obligation higher than the expression of a statute should restrain him. The fabric of the law is made up of precedent; in the examination of any case records are searched, the inquiry frequently going back over centuries, to discover some previous act or de cision to support a pa'rticular view, or to bolster up the reasoning by which a conclusion is reached. To maintain the stream in its purity, the greatest care is exercised by the higher courts, and much time is taken by superior judges in correcting the errors of the inferior, thus cleansing the current of the law from those mistakes which come in from the hasty or ill considered opinions rendered in the lower tribu nals. Thus does the "sweet reasonableness" of the! law maintain itself, and thus does the effort to sustain the truth commend its object to its followers, and through them to the people. , When a judge is deliberately guilty of some thing that must appear to him as a dangerous thing to do. because of the possibilities that may flow from its effect, even though his action be within the written law, he has committed a vio lence' against the institution of which he is charged with the duty of defending. Judge Lan dis himself may be of such fine quality of mental and moral makeup that the acceptance of pay from the base ball magnates will not affect him in his relations to the public, and his service to the one may never interfere with his duty to the other. But he is providing precedent that will surely broaden, and in time may produce such evil as will do great damage to the public, by introducing confusion, disorder, and even cor ruption into our courts. His action is in the finality subversive of the theory at least on which Our judicial system rests. The statute law docs not take cognizance of his 'course as offensive, very likely because the framers of the Constitution of the United States and the laws under it did not conceive that a federal judge would ever be found in the posi tion now occupied by Judge Landis. Frequently what is not forbidden by the letter of the law is forbidden by its spirit, and this considerat.'cn should have full weight in the present instance. Quibbles and sophistry will not avail to, dis charge him of the offense of accepting private employment that may interfere with his duty to the people as a judge. Daughterly and His Critics. The name of Harry M. Daugherty, selected by Mr. Harding to be attorney general of the United States after the 4th-of March, shocks the brethren of the late lamented democratic party. We will admit at the outset that many objec tions have been raised against Mr. Daugherty, but always by political opponents, factional or partisan. Mr. Harding knew him well before the campaign, he trusted him, and he. has invited him into his cabinet because he does have con fidence in him. This ought to at least satisfy the critics, especially those who defended Wood row Wilson in his successive choice of McRey nolds, Gregory and Palmer to fill the office. No charge will be made against Mr. Daugherty's appointment, because of his fitness, that might not have been brought against cither of his im mediate predecessors in the office, and we feel almost 'certain that he will be guilty of no graver mistakes and blunders than have followed the administration of the Department of Justice through the last eight years. This may not be a very good defense of the choice made by Mr. Harding in the selection of his attorney general, yet it should serve to secure for him the con sideration demanded by the democrats for the men Woodrow Wilson set over the law machin ery of the United States. - Education in a Republic. To fit a man to perform wisely, justly and magaminously all the duties, both public and private, of peace and war was the aim of educa tion as declared by John Milton. In a democracy such as America this is even more accurately true than in the England of Milton's day. In the light of this ultimate object, puMic pinion will support the declaration made by a schoolmaster in Omaha that there is danger in teaching boys and girls how to earn money rather than how to live. There is room, cer tainly, for fundamental training that will fit children for. useful and practical industrial life, but this must never encroach on instruction in the other duties of citizenship. That one is an excellent clerk or mechanic or a prosperous business man is no assurance that He is a good citizen. There is too much emphasis on efficiency in production and too lit tle on efficiency in consumption and in all around citizenship. In the Harding Cabinet. Following the announcement that Clurles Evans Hughes had been chosen to be his secre tary of state, and that Harry M. Daugherty would be given the place of attorney general, Mr. Harding now makes public the list of men he has selected to be ' his personal advisers and executive heads of the several departments of the government. With the possible exception of James J. Davis, assigned to the Department of LaSor, all are well known to the public and have given services of such eminence as fairly entitles them to the respect of all. The selection of Andrew Mellon of Pitts burgh for the important office of secretary of the treasury may be taken as an indication that the coming president fully realizes the burden that will be laid on the exchequer during his term. Free and easy methods of financing, following the, line of least resistance and levying taxes as well as making loans on the basis of expediency, such as has characterized the democratic admin istration of the Treasury department, have pro duced a muddle that calls for the most skillful handling. Mr. Mellon brings both banking and general business experience of high order to the tremendous task assigned him. He is under stood to be thoroughly in favor of the budget system of national expenditures, and to have some definite ideas concerning the general busi ness of financing the country's affairs along lines that will bring better results. One of the jobs waiting his considerationns that of refunding the present indebtedness, so as to consolidate the various issues, equalizing their terms and pro viding for the retirement, of the bonds in order and with the least disturbance to business. As to Messrs. Hays and Daugherty, it will undoubtedly be charged, and with some reason, that they were selected because of their political services. Admitting that, it remains true that they are well fitted for the work set before them. Each is an organizer of proved ability, capable of handling big affairs, and this quality is some thing the nation sorely needs. To Mr. Hays will be given the job of getting the postal service wit of the hole into which it has been plunjed by Albert Sidney Burleson. He will have to restore the morale of the service, get its working forces back into line, re-establish harmony and so secure efficiency. This is no light undertaking, and success in its accomplishment will set Will H. Hays well out in front. Something similar awaits the attorney general prospective, who will find a department pretty well demoralized through incompetence and indifference. Henry Wallace will bring to the Department of Agriculture all the equipment promised by.1 James M. Cox. when he talked of putting a "real dirt farmer" at the head of that great depart ment. Mr. Wallace knows the farm and the farmer; he is familiar with the needs of agricul ture, for he comes from the great farming region of the west, and his understanding of the prob lems of the industry and their possible solution will be of immense value in the service the gov ernment can perform in the way of help to the food producers of the land. Weeks for the army and Denby for the navy are equally happy se lections. Hoover for commerce and Fall ior the interior are instances of fitness recognized by selection. Davis for the Department of Labor may be accepted as not being identified with one or the other of the opposing groups. As the head of a great secret organization he has shown capacity that should enable him to manage the business that will come t him; as a former iron worker, and a one-time member of the union, he is ex pected to exhibit a sympathetic understanding of the labor viewpoint, while his present status as a banker gives him some insight into the problems of the employer. He may develop into the happy solution sought by the president. Picking Our Own Pockets. '"Well, well, this looks much like taking the money out of the pockets of the people," some one remonstrated to a French financier of two centuries ago. "But where do you wish me to get it from?" M. ..... .rv a The same colloquy might occur today with taxation as the subject. No plan officially ?io posed suggests any way of obtaining funds to carry on the government without taking them out of the people's pockets. Hope of relief ex ists only through the fact that there are other drains on the purse that might be diminished. Benjamin Franklin, writing as Poor Richard, told of a crowd discussing the economic condi tions in 1757, in which some one asked, "Won't these heavy taxes quite ruin the country? How shall we ever be able to pay them?" An. old man replied, according to Poor Richard: The taxes indeed are very heavy; and if' those laid by the government were the only ones we had to pay, we might the more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed twice as much by our Idleness, three times as much by our Pride, and four time as much by our Folly; and from these taxes the commissioners can not ease or deliver us by an abatement. However, let us harken to good advice, and something may be done for us. God helps them that help themselves. Such idleness as there is today is largely in voluntary, but the economic waste is inherent, nevertheless. The best news that comes -is that of automobile factories and other mills starting their wheels again. Pride and folly are things within individual control, and less of each in those of high or of low position would represent a propitiatory sacrifice on the national altar. The common impression that lightning red salesmen were naturally fitted to sell blue sky stock is questioned by the assertion of an insur ance man who declares that "the place of great est safety for man and beast as well as for our material asset is a Well-rodded building." What have the scientists to say to this? The army aviator whose plane broke down in the desert was no better off than the bal loonists as far as a round-trip ticket is concerned. Do those moral authorities who favor remov ing the rouge from the face of the feminine com munity advocate using sandpaper or filing it off? A Line 0' Type or Two Hew to the Line, let the quips fall where they may Thus far the, legislature has not been asked to pass a law forbidding citizens to die on Sunday. IMMUTABLE.

TOE THOUSAND AND ONE AFTERNOONS. XI. . Naturally (continued the fair Saidee) the spirit of romance works more powerfully in one unaccustomed to it than in one who, like my brother, had traveled and enjoyed adventures in all parts of the world. Therefore the effect of the pink shirt on the prosaic importer was as potent as hashish would have been. No sooner' had he seen the shirt, as I have said, than he de sired to wear it; no sooner had he put it on. than he desired to roam the thoroughfares of Chicago, which hitherto he had considered un worthy of inspection; and no sooner had he left the hotel than the city became as enchanting as Samarcand, and the most commonplace man in the world was as ripe for adventure as a First or Second Calender. He had not walked many minutes when a cluster of electric lights before a playhouse drew his attention to a musical ex travaganza called 'Bagdad,' and presently he was among the audience. Before this experience he had thought of the Orient as a place from which spices were imported, but now he realized that women were Its greatest glory. The stage was gay with singing hourls, only a little more dazzling than the women in the chairs about him,' and he was the only member of the au dience who regretted the drop of the curtain. When he left the playhouse it occurred to him, for the first time in his drab existence, that a midnight supper would round out an evening of unexampled pleasure, so he turned Into a cafe in which were a great many lights, a great many people, and a great deal of music from a band. The head waiter gave him one glance and then seated him at a table behind a post, but hard by there was a larger table at which a fat man, whose neck overflowed bis collar, was entertain ing three miracles of female loveliness. Jt seemed to Mr. Weatherwax, as his eyes fell upon these radiant creatures, that nature had quite out done herself and that further effort could result only in art anticlimax. As he gazed blinkingly at their dazzling beauty the cork from a bottle of champagne which their waiter was opening slipped from the menial's fingers and took Mr. Weatherwax squarely upon the nose. The three beauties laughed until they fell backward when he clapped a hand to his smarting feature and took up dazedly the small, projectile, but he counted the bombardment a fortunate accident when the most radiant of the trio (if one could be said to be more effulgent than another) dis patched their male companion to Mr. Weather wax with the request that he join them in a glass of the champagne and bury his injured nose In the bubbles of the wine.

For three days I have been in an atmosphere of preventive dentistry. I n m convinced flint poor teeth arc bringing us considerable ill health incapacity mid discomfort. From this I emerge to again remark I wish somebody would put tho tooth pick into good society. How easly Marie Antoinette could have done it. On a later occasion It was suggested Mrs. Wilson render this service to mankind. Within a short while we will have a now lady In the White House. Will Mrs. Hard ing be sure enough of her position to set a toothplcking example for the nation ? New Zealand has a 'reputation the world round for its unexcelled infant care. In explaining this, Truby King said one of the most powerful fac tors was the leadership of Mrs. Gov ernor General and tho society wom en of her group. They made it fash ionable to have babies, to talk about babies and to keep babies healthy and strong. Who will make it fash ionable to keep the teeth clean? In keeping the teeth clean the re moval of food products is more im portant than brushing. The dentists advocate the use of dental floss or ordinary thread. They say it re moves the food debris with less harm to the gums than does any kind of toothpick. They are willing to en dorse the quill toothpick. They do object to the ordinary wooden tooth pick, because splinters occasionally get under the gum margins. How ever, if it is necessary to get the re sults they would be willing to stand behind ordinary wooden toothpicks, or gold ones, if that could be made the fashion. Decay of teeth is the result of chemicals secreted by germs, which live in the main on particles of food. Likewise pyorrhea is r result of germ action. All food particles left in the spaces between the teeth serve as nests and food supplies for these bacteria. To remove this food noth ing is so effective as denial floss or ordinary sewing thread, if floss is not available. Question Is Too Vague. R. M. D. writes: "Please print something about occupational dis eases. Name some of the occupa tions that really are harmful tothe health of an ordinary pprson, also some that are the reverse." REPLY. Tour commission is a large one for a small space. To say very much on the general subject of occupation al diseases would require a column. As a rule work is healthy, healthier than loafing. The average man or woman engaged in any ordinary oc cupation or trade is healthier and freer from hazard of illness or ac cident than if he or she were unem ployed. Of course, there are certain occupations that are more hazardous than others. Among these are the trades in which the workers breathe very dusty air or inha4e harmful chemical fumes. Likewise those trades are harmful in which the workers are exposed to extremes of heat and cold. As a rule the health iest trades are those in which the work is done in the open air. I ap preciate that these are very general statements, but your question was a very general one. I would be pleased to answer questions as to particular occupations as far as information is available. When Sleeper Walks. Mrs. E. L. M. writes: "I noticed an article on somnambulists In your column and you asked if any one had experience with the trouble and at what hour of the night It was most prevalent. I have had a sleep walker in my family -and always have found the restlessness to begin at about an hour after he gets into his first sleep. It makes no differ ence at what hour he retires, in about an hour he begins to talk and walk. Since the removal of ade noids and tonsils, the walking has nearly ceased, but he still talks a great deal In his sleep." Try City Laboratories.

Street New Stock Sheet Music! Now! iees ox The Ku Klu Kl.m. Omaha. Feb. 21. To the Editor of The Hoe: In the issue of February 17, 1921, of the World-Herald theie appeared mi article In which was contained an interview with one Mr, llym, a special agent ut Omaha, un der the Department of Justice. Kn that interview as reported by the World-Herald, Mr. Hyrn seemed de lighted to have occasion to give such an organization as the Ku Klux Klau his hearty approval, and in substance welcomed it to Nebraska. I take it that Mr. Kyrn received his appointment at the hands of some ono. in the service of the gen eral government. It Is, therefore, reasonable to presume that he voices the sentiment of his superior officer. In this enneetion let me say a few words to your many readers, as I am confident' they wish to be fully in formed as to this organization, its origin, history and purposes. I believe I am in a good position to give a detailed record in this con nection, in view of the fact that I was born near the Blue Ridge moun tains of Tennessee, where this Ku Klux Klan had its birth in 1S68. It was born in the dark, had dark lan terns as its guiding star and its mem bers were dark-lantern conspirators and race haters. Bigotry brought it into existence and it fed and nour ished upon it until 1871. when Presi dent Grant had ordered the t'nited States army to suppress and anni hilate this damnable menace. In this connection, memory car ries me back to my boyhood days while on a farm in those old Blue Kldge mountains, when a committee of this un-Amarlcan organization waited on my father at 12 o'clock at night with masked faces and or dered my father, under the penalty of death, to discharge a poor honest negro who was in his employ, and whose only offense was that he was being educated in the Homan Catho lic faith. Father was forced to dis charge this poor, unfortunate ex slave in order to save his own life and that of his family. By 'their fruits you shall know them, "from thistles and thorns you cannot gather grapes." Why, then, should this homogeneous community be distuibed by the introduction and encouragement of an organization, the object and purpose of which is to arraign neighbor against neighbor, on account of race and religion. Such an organization as this is contrary to tlic constitution, the let ter (I ml spirit of this govi-riiineut. Nebraska soil is too fertile on which to grow such dead sea fruit. Amer ica is too broad for such a u.irr.nv luindcd institution; ami wink- it may and did have its birth in my native state, yet I am lirmly of tho belief thst it was conceived in the womb of hell, and spHt out of the uloci n I imr and nauseating mouth of the devil himself. Three of my sons wore t he uniform of this government in the late world war, that liberty of con science, regardless of race, color or creed, should prevail; that no dis crimination of race or creed should exist In this government. To" this organization, "The Ku Klux Klan," 1 will say. "Avannt, thou pestiverous pole-cat. you are not wanted on Nebraska soil." ED V. MO UK A I TV. MUCH IN LITTLE.
