Doughnut, Not the Hole
Thit is another of the weeks especially set
apart to teach good citizenship. Particularly is
the effort directed at the foreign-born. All of
this it extremely appropriate, subject to the sug
gestion that the performance should be made
.continuous. We can not have too much of ef
fort at teaching good citizenship, respect for and
responsibility to the Iaw? among the, native born
as well as those who come to us from abroad.
' Onry when an individual realizes the respon
sibilities as well as the privileges of citizenship
does he become fit to wear the one and enjoy
the other. Such as are citizens by accident of
birth ire supposed to be endowed with some sin
gular sort of faculty which enables them inher
ently to grasp, solve ana apply an that is in
volved in the status of "civis sum." Possibly,
this is true, but experience leads to some doubt
oh the point. However that phase of the present
discussion may be passed over for the moment tr
give some consideration to the case of the pros
pective citizen who comes from abroad.
Our job is to "sell" him Americanism. Jn
order to do so, we should have a very definite
notion of what the term implies. Perhaps the
most regrettable fact in our national life, today
is that most of the salesmen arecalling public
attention to wonderful collection of holes, en
tirely overlooking the doughnuts that surround
those holes. For example, taxes are high, and
complaint is considerable on that score. But let
the man who rnmri frnm mm EnrnnMn coun
try tell you about taxes over there. Not a coun
try nn earth is taxed as. licrhtl v in nronortion ta
its wealth and position as is the United States. .'
Another hole to which the attention of many
foreig iers is carefully and persistently called is
our 1; w prohibiting the traffic in liquor. Some
of th :m. find it pretty hard to discover any
dougl nut surrounding this hole, but it is there.
That aw was made by the people of the United
Statei , and they are the only people who truly
make their own laws. Here is the biggest
dougl nut in the collection. Every citizen of the
Unite I States has his full and equal share in
, niakit 3 any and all of the laws he lives under.
At c her of the holes always in view is the
appar t unequal distribution of wealth. Yet
this i r ivails everywhere. Around that hole is
the d i ghnut of equal opportunity. Thousands
of w ! to-do and even wealthy citizens of the
Unite 1 States came here poor men, with only
the ci j tal of good health, bodily strength and a
.'illtt. r .it t wnil Ttiv frunA Umrm a rhunrt
to g ahead, by industry and thrift and they
have ) ospered here as they never could in the
land ' their birth. So on through a never end
ing c 1 ilogue of advantages we enjoy as Amer
icans. Fi ;edom of speech, of conscience, human lib
erty t its highest form, is the crown of Ameri
can tizenship. It is fostered by a'free press,
by fr schools, by- the undisputed exercise of
any form of religious belief known to man, the
choice 'and election being left to the individual.
Nowhere in the world, or in all the world's his
tory, does man enjoy his divine birthright as he
does in America. Alt the holes are but pin
pricks Vhen compared with the doughnut that
surrounds them. Workers in the Americaniza
tion ffort ought to give their time to pointing
out this faet. Sell the foreigners the doughnuts,
ndt the holes.

, High Cost of Campaigning.
Accustomed as it is to shocks of various sorts,
the great American public will scarcely more
than elevate its eyebrows at the news that a
fund if $10,338,509 was expended to elect a pres
ident "in iv-u. oome oi course wni matte out.
that' this is an enormous amount of money to
be devoted to such a purpose, and should be con
sidered as a shame to a nation pretending to be
righteous. They will hold that untold corrup.
tion way be covered up by the figures, that it in
dicates wholesale debauchery of voters, and
finally that only plutocrats may aspire to be
president. v
cat that the business of carrying on a political
campaign involves expenditures that are likely to
mount to respectable proportions. James Mid-
diet own Cox startled the country with his as
sertion that a conspiracy of dollars . had been
formed to defeat him. His efforts to substantiate
his charge fell flat, but his propaganda had t
' good start, and $2,237,770 was spent by the
democrats in a vain attempt to elect a president
and control congress. The republican bill was
$8,100,739. . '
In scanning these figures, bear iu mind that
they include pre-convention campaign expendi
tures oi all sorts for all cadidates for the office
of president, vice president, United States sen
ator or congressman. Thus, the sum does not
appear to be out of reason, when we consider
what it covers. Yet the figures do indicate that
elections come pretty high. Primary elections
to choosa nominees, select delegates and the like
all cost money, involving as they do effort ex
tending over considerable time prior to the vot
ing, in which meetings must be held, advertise
ment! published, cireularjjnailed, and a host of
other things done' that require ihe legitimate
use of monev. If an asnirant neetects to do these
v things, contenting himself with the mere an
nouncement of his name, his fellow citizens are
apt to conclude he does not especially care for
their votes and so give their suffrage to nts
more enthusiastic rival, Af teethe primary comes
the main campaign, in which it is necessary to
repeat all the performance of the primary, with
the single difference that whereas the expenses
of getting a nomination must be borne by the
candidate and his immediate friends, those of
the main election are defrayed from a general
fund raised among members of the party.
If these thing's are so, it is because the voters
have willed them to be so. Our election processes
have been greatly expanded, but as to machinery
and methods, and the need of more than $10,
000,000 to carry on the activities of a single year
in politics gives an idea of the distance that
separates today from the simple days of the past,
when about the only money used was to defray
the cost of collecting and counting the votes, and
that sum came from the public coffers.
Champ Clark.
Champ Clark, who died yesterday just on the
eve of his retirement from a service of twenty
six years in the national congress, probably held
the personal affection of more Americans than
any other democrat of his time. . 1
Champ Clark led his party in congress and
was one of its leaders in the nation not by virtue
of brilliant intellect or dazzling achievement. He
had ability and he achieved much; but the
dominant quality that endeared him to hundreds
of thousands of people was his personal charm.
Men followed Champ Clark not so much for
what he said or what he did but for what he was.
They liked him as a man. They liked his rugged
fighting nature, they liked his quaint humor, they
felt that he was one of them. Even when he went
against the great majority of his fellow Ameri
cans on issues such as the selective service law,
he lost little of this personal esteem. They
thought him erring but liked him just the same.
He did not class with Wilson or Bryan or even
some other democrats in achievement, but he
surpassed them all in the number and lasting
character of the personal friendships which he
made. Few men hated Champ Clark.
Nebraska was associated intimately with the
climax of Champ Clark's political career.
Despite the personal canvass which his rivals
made in this state, Clark won Nebraska's prefer
ence for the democratic nomination for the res
idency. Then, at the Baltimore convention, after
he had held a majority of the delegates for nine
ballots and seemed certain to win the two
thirds necessary to victory, William J. Bryan
led a majority of the Nebraska delegation
from him to Woodrow Wilson and made Wil
son's nomination possible. It was Champ Clark's
great disappointment and for a time it threatened
to dim the fine good $pnor of his nature.' Ever
since, the fact has exercised a potent influence
in Nebraska politics.
Champ Clark served thirteen terms in con
gress. Only two present congressmen have
passed this record. He went down to defeat in
the republican landslide of last year and death
cut short his public service by only two days.
A Man as Good ,s a Horse.
Twenty-five years .-of faithful service with one;
business concern indicates a faithfulness that very
frequently is recognized by appreciative employ
ers. Messrs. Wilhelm, Coad, Dahlman, Gruenther.
and Wead of the Metropolitan Water board are
to be congratulated ort their decision to pay a
weekly pension to E. A. Worm, who was stricken
blind after having worked for the water plant
from 1893 to 1918. ...
It is well that public officials should guaTd
carefully against unwarranted expenditure, of
the people's money, but to have held out on a
legal technicality against the award of the state
compensation commissioner would have been to
exhibit that ingratitude with which republics are
so often charged. Incidents have been frequent
in the past where fire horses, worn out in service,
have been pensioned and put on pasture to end
their days in ease, and in going over the story
of Mr. Worm,, who in all sorts of weather met
the emergencies of breaks and leaks in the water
lines, a parallel can easily be found:
Misfortune laid, a heavy hand on him: the
little house into which he had put his savings
was destroyed in a cyclone, and then while work
ing in a trench his helper dropped a meter on the
back of his head. Four weeks later Mr. Worm
became sightless. The allegation that he had the
influenza and lost his vision as a result of this and
not of the accident has little or no bearing, al
though it is denied. The water board,- in recog
nizing the justice of this claim against' it, has
acted in accord with" the common sentiment of
humanity and is entitled to praise that it would
have forfeited by the exercise of a mistaken niggardliness.
The Gloom-Chaser Knights. '
To some in outer darkness, the .magical let
ters of Ak-Sar-Ben. may be meaningless.. In
Omaha it is common knowledge 'that the word
should be read backwards. But even those who
have attained this degree of initiation are likely
to have forgotten that Ak-Sar-Ben really spellsS
"Prosperity." ... ,
It is a heartening thing to hear that member
ships to this civic association are already pour-
ing in. This year of all in recent times there is
the greatest benefit to be derived from the
stimulus it has always given to business and so
ciability. This knighthood should flower now
as never before, and in truth there seems little
likelihood that it will ever be allowed to go to
seed. '
' Back in 1895, when the prices of agricultural
prpducts were so low that men were giving up
their farms and it seemed that the business of
the whole state was going to pot. the idea of Ak-Sar-Ben
was born to promote a spirit of con
fidence and optimism, to advertise the city arid
to create a friendly feeling with all our neigh
bors. The initiations at the Den during the
summer months, the spirit of good fellowship
bred there at the theatrical performances and at
the lunch that follows lead up naturally to the
clhnax of the carnival, the races, the parades and
the coronation ball.
The spirit of Ak-Sar-Ben. has made Omaha
pre-eminently a friendly city, bringing its -own
men folks together in healthful relaxation and
drawing thousands of visitors with t hospitable
and gigantic wink. No one who has paid his
dues to the knighthood in past years should
want to economise on this investment m good
times now, and any other men who feel them
selves pursued by the glooms can find sanctuary
in the old Den.
The gift of a new broom to Harding suggests

When the fair Saidee again paused in her nar
rative the excellent Wezeer called heaven to wit
ness that never Arab 'squatting on desert sands
had related a more ingenious tale, and that the
suspense of a man on the edge of being hanged
was not greater than that of her listeners.
Stuffy Durkin, the office boy, declared that the
story had quite spoiled him for the commonplace
tales of adventure which he carried in his pocket,
and Houssain too complimented his First
Stenographer on her ability. He liked particu
larly, he said, her style, which was familiar but
not coarse, and elegant but not ostentatious.
Miss Perkins accepted his praise modestly, and
mentioned that she had acquired her literary
style from a writer called B. L. T., beside whom
she had once sat at a Bull Moose banquet. And
so. on the afternoon of the following day, having
dispatched her employer's correspondence with
her customary skill and briskness, the fair Saldeo

My brother Valentine , (she said) was much
perturbed by the loss of the pink shirt, the magio
power of which he alone had knowledge of.
His vanity had been chastened by discovering
that his conquest of the fair unknown was due
to the garrwnt woven by the Persian maiden,
and not to his handsome face, and being now
ardently In love with her he cursed the misad
venture which had deprived him of his talisman,
Mr. Weatherwax, when he had t-covered his
temper, was deeply regretful for his- part in the
misadventure, and expressed a willingness to re.
main a few days In Chicago In order to assist
my brother In the possible recovery of an article
upon which he set so extravagant a value. He
had hae), he said, a good view of the highway
man who despoiled him, and was certain he
should be able to recognize the rogue among a
thousand. At his suggestion my brother in
serted In all the newspapers of the city the fol
lowing advertisement:
"Lost On the night of Deo. 26, flannel shirt
dyed a yak.blood red: narrow stripe; French
cuffs. Liberal reward and ,no questions asked,
Communicate with V. P., Room 49, Congress
Hotel."
Although the advertisement was kept stand
ing in the newspaper, several days passed with
out response to it, and my brother resolved to
ask the assistance pf the detective bureau. But
on the morning of the fifth day word was
brought to his apartment in the hotel that a
lady wished to see him very privately.

"BEWARE THE IDES OP
. MARCH."
Shakespeare had a soothsayer
tell Julius Caesar to beware the ides
of March. Later, Caesar, meeting
the soothsayer, expressed his lack
of faith, saylns: "The Ides of March
are come." To which the soothsayer
replied: "Aye, Caeaar, but not gone."
We havo reason to beware the
ides of Mferch as well. So far we
have escaped influensa, and there is
good reason to expect that we will
got through March without a major
recurrence. The theory that influ
enza returns in cycles of 33 weeks
may indicate a recurrence in April,
but not in March. Nevertheless we
have a right to dread March.
A study of the death rate of Chi
cago for the last 55 years show that
the March dotith rate is not improv
ing. An average of the March death
rate of three years in the decade
ended in 1870, compared with an av
erage of the March death rate of
three years in the decade ended
in 1920, indicates that our March
serious sickness rate is higher now
than it was DO years ago.
My study Included three years In
each decade between 1870 and 1920,
and it showed that though the death
rate for the entire year has been
falling steadily from 23 to 14 in
that 50 years the March death rate
has risen from 14 to 16. In the
earlier years March was one of the
healthy month, having a death rate
below tha year's average. In recent
years it is an unhealthy month,
having a rate above the average.
The change was brought about
gradually, but the most marked al
teration cams in the years just be
fore and just after 1S90. The reason
for the shift is easy to explain. The
efforts at improvement in health
conditions have not been directed
toward the diseases responsible for
high March rates Of these, pneu
monia is much the most Important.
We disregard coryza and attacks of
simple bronchitis. Though we are
careful about our water, we are.
careless about our spitting. Though
we will not permit our milk or meat
to be bad, we are indifferent about
air.
As tho soothsayer said to Julius
Caesar, "Aye, Caesar, but not gone,"
the season of danger from colds,
bronchitis and pneumonia does not
end with March. The study shows
that conditions are almost as bad In
April. "
While the study relates to Chi
cago statistics, the lesson is appli
cable to all parts of the country.
February is about as bad, as March.
In the moree southern sections of the
country February easily leads April
as a month of ill health.
Since old people and babies suf
fer most from pneumonia and bron
chitis, they should be especially'
careful during the winter-spring
season. A man may justify, himself
In neglecting colds at other seasons,
but if he catches a cold or a cough
during March he had better stay im

persons with heart leaks.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 27. To the
Editor of The Bee: In reference to
parade of ex-servicn men last Sat
urday, wish to write a few Hues
under the caption of "Those Boys
Have Nerve."
Last Saturday, while the large
proportion of Omaha's Americans
were blistering their hands applaud
ing their favorito heroes for saving
tho fair damsel In the various play
houses, a parade was being held by
ex-service men, still real Americans
and proud of it. The reason for this
parade, every one of you who
stayed at home know, an effort to
get the justice that was so often
promised back In 1918, if that date
will recall anything to your minds.
These men. while not all movie
heroes, fought for and saved that
which is most dear to all real Amer
icans, the honor of their country.
Folks, let us be frank about Satur
day's misfortune
. Where was that applause, which
In 1918 sent these boys to their duty,
and which today would revive that
much needed American spirit?
Where were those flags which
were waved and displayed so proudly
in 1918?
Were all Americans there hand
cuffed and all our flags burled? The
following lines -will explain the gen
eral attitude:
Time: 1917-1918. Place: U. S-4.
Boys leaving for Franco. Amid
heart trouble was more pronounced.
I am now 80, supple and healthy.
Shall I do anything?
REPLY.
I do not think you need to do
anything. An irregular pulse which
has persisted for over 20 years and
which has done no harm can be
safely put out of mind. You have
some form of arrhythmia. Should
you ever be near a physician's office
where they have all the elaborate
electrical apparatus which is re
quired, have an examination to de
termine what kind of arrhythmia
you have. In the meanwhile gq
serepely on leading the life appro
priate to a healthy man of 80.
Not Unusual Symptoms.
M. M. W. writes: "My mother is

aches (mostly during the night) and

her breath. Could you let me know
the reason for these?"

By John Kendrick Bangs.
Here's a Day all full of Light;
Here's a Day of Minutes full;
Here's a World spread In my sight
Full of Chance delectable.
I've two Arms, two Hands likewise
And a pair of Eyes to see
All the Wealth that round me lies,
Waiting, waiting the for me.
I've a Brain to guide my Hand,
And within my Soul the Firs
That will lead me to the Land
Of my Heart's supreme Desire.
Can it be that lacking Will,
Will the onward Path to press
I shall lose by standing still
All the Fruitage of Success t

Keeping The Faith
Back in 1857, when Omaha was
a frontier village and Nebraska
was a boundless prairie, the First
National Bank was established.
Since that time, through good
times and bad, it has steadfastly
adhered to good banking practice.
Without merger or consolidation,
it has continued to play its part in
the development of the middle
West.
Today, when you select the
First National as your bank, you
are assured of a continuance of
the policy that has earned for this
bank the name of "The Bank of
Safety and Service." a bank that
for sixty-four years has kept faith
wun uie people.

When
Henry Ward Beecher
Asked His Mother
"If God could make a sheet of paper with
only one side" it surely required Faith,'
Confidence and Optimism to satisfactor
ily answer his question.
A great deal iri this world must be taken
on Faith one cannot demand in advance
how a thing is going to be done and get
very far. We must have Faith to go
ahead, even when we cannot see the end.
Business in these days has about as many
complications as driving your motor car
through the congested districts. If you
get confused or discouraged over the start
and stop signals, if you kill your engine
and pull into the curb saying it can't be
done, you have no one to blame but your
self. If you are afraid of the Traffic Cop if
you cannot cheerfully and intelligently
obey the traffic signals if you are so full
of cowardly fear that you kill your engine
and block traffic for every one else, you
have no right to ask or expect the 1921 li
cense to operate your machine of busi
ness on the Highways of Commerce.
Buck up, be a sport! Fill your tank with
Optimism (high test), inflate your tires
with the air of Faith, equip your brakes
with the lining of Common Sense, put on
the winning smile of Confidence, and you
will be surprised how soon you will reach
the broad, well paved highway of Real
Prosperity.
Think it over.
