Hope for Russian Republic.
Kcrensky, it appears, really is behind the
present revolt in Russia, and with him are Milu
koff and others who were engaged in the actual
overthrow of the zar in March, 1917. This
adds not only respectability to the movement,
but will invite confidence. Milukoff, with Lvoff,
Kodzianko, Terestchenko and Kerensky formed
the first provisional government after the revo
lution, and were the real leaders of Russian
destiny at the moment. The steps by which
Lenine and Trotzky moved into supreme power
within ten months are but indicative of the dis
turbed condition of the Russian mind, the failure
of the masses to grasp and understand what was
involved in the political changes then in progress,
f and illustrates in some degree the impressionable
side of the Russian character. The bolsheviki
seized power by a trick and have held it by force.
The revolt has not proceeded far enough yet
t6 warrant even a guess at its eventual outcome.
Milukoff is really a statesman of ability, thor
oughly democratic and devoted to his country,
while Kcrensky showed even more capacity for
popular leadership than either Lenine or Trotzky
lias even done. He was able to sway the Rus
sians in the direction of right; he did not try to

pair can form it is conceivable that order may be
restored to Russia, that a government! truly rep
resentative of and responsive to the national
needs may be established, and that the way to
public and private prosperity will be opened.
The most ardent advocates of communism as
such admit the failure of the plan in Russia, and
only the out-and-out anarchists now support the
waning fortune of the bolshevisfc regime. The
Third Internationale has generally been repudi
ated, only th widely scattered "terrorist" groups
adhering to it. German socialists would have
none of it, the French repudiated it, and the
"onnsn ana American comrades nave oecnneu
to take' it up, save the utterly hopeless "left
'wings," while in Italy an existing? -disturbance,
caused ly the clash of the "fascisti" and the com-
munisis, is but typical of the disagreement of the
elements the Leninists thought to unite in sup
port of their program.
The "revolution" is nearing its last stages, and
should the move in Russia terminate with the
overthrow of the soviet government, the peace
sought by the world will be brought much nearer.
In Pursuit of Thrills.
Those engaged in any active pursuit C4n
"scarcely understand how any human being can be
so idle as to spend hour after hour for days at a
time drinking in the testimony of a sensational
murder trial. Nearly everyone, it is suspected,
will read more than the headlines of the news
paper accounts, but without any desire to see and
hear the events at first hand.
Love of sensation is a well-nigh universal
characteristic. Yet the sordid, salacious details
of a murder case which have crowded a local
court room and have drawn so many young wo
men to hear, are not the sort of sensations" that
attract those with their minds healthily occupied.
This vulgar episode, this revelation of so much
that is unclean and unwholesome, is not a thing
on which healthy and active minds will long
dwell.-.
Doubtless most of the men and women who
visited this trial had nothing else to do. With no
responsibilities, unemployed mentally, physically
and emotionally, the) only way in which they cr.n
extract a thrill from life is in some such manner
as this. Perhaps some of the younger ones im
agine that this is Seeing Life. This it emphatical
ly is not, for the main characters in this drama
of the underworld were not even Living Life.
There is nothing of romance, and less of real
ity about this than is to be found in the mbt
humdrum occurrences of every day. The fumes
of the charnel house, the odors of damnation
arise, and yet there are those who can sniff the
polluted air and find it pleasant and diverting.
The Babies' Right to Live.
The connection between wages and infant
mortality is demonstrated anew by two studies
made by the federal children's bureau in Akron,
O., and in the textile factory town of New
Bedford, Mass. As the earnings of the father
increased, the chances of life for the babies in
creased also. The lower infant death rate -in
Akron and other cities of the middle west is
ascribed to the fact that wages there are higher
than in the New England cities that were studied.
In the families of the very poor in New Bed
ford, 20 babies out of every 100 born died be
fore reaching their first birthday. In the group
earning $1,250 or more a aear, only six out of
every 100 died under one year of age. Better
housing, better food, and better care -when the
mother did not have to go out to work are fac
tors in this situation.
Ignorance, of course, plays its part in the
death rate, and in general the immigrant family
lost more heavily than the native family of the
same income, but there .is no getting around the
fact that as the father's earnings ,'increased the
infant mortality rate diminished. "j
To speak of the American standard of living
is not to refer to this or that luxury, but to health
and the opportunity for life. In Akron, families
with an income of less than $550 a year lost 118
babies per thousand, and those with $1,250 and
over lost only 40, The figures are eloquent, tnd
the children's bureau lias done a most useful
work in examining the bad living conditions
and the perils to babies that arise from low
wages.
Why Not Get Together?
The conference between the building con
tractors and workmen turns out to have been a.
meeting at which something in the nature of an
ultimatum was passed from the employers to the
prospective employes. This is' not exactly the
way to approach a readjustment. The Bee be
lieves that a proper conference will take on the
character of a meeting at which cards are laid
on the table, face up, and due consideration is
given to each of the several factors involved.
Such a gathering is yet to be held. Each side
has discussed and is discussing its own affairs
without regard to the other fellow, except as to
how far it will be able to enforce a demand.
That is not the way to reach a bargain. Any
settlement resting on force is temporary. When
workmen are idle contractors and architects, ma
terial dealers and all engaged in building in any
way are idle. If Omaha is to have the revival
of building needed this season, it will be because
the men in the industry have reached an under
standing, and at prices the public can afford to
pay. Half a loaf is better than no bread, but
when the whole loaf is in sight, why not talk less
of "take it or leave it," and try a little real
get-together meeting?
Anomalous and Almost Ridiculous.
While Americans are eagerly and almost dis
tractedly discussing the problems of distribution,
to the end that the country's great food crops
may be more advantageously marketed, the cus
toms house records give us a remarkable exhibi
tion of how trade may be made to distort com
mon sense. According to the Boston Trans
cript :
' Denmark, sent to the United States duritig
the year 1920 a total of 19,934,547 pounds of
butter, valued at $10,122,756, or an average
of about 50.8 cents a pound. This is in con
trast with 71,448 pounds valued at $70,951,
sent in 1919. The increase value of the but
ter imports of the United States from Den
mark in 1920 over 1919 is thus 14167 per cent.
On each pound of this butter imported there
was paid a duty of 2 cents a pound, or
$493,363.68. Denmark also exported to the
United States in 1920, according to Depart
ment of Commerce figures, 812,090 bushels
of potatoes valued at $1,146,264. None were
exported to the United States in 1919. There
was no tariff on potatoes from Denmark in
1920. The total value of the two commodi
ties imported to the United States from Den
mark's ports in 1920 was $11,269,020.
While Denmark was thus finding a market
for its surplus potatoes and butter in the United
States, where an exportable surplus already ex
isted, famirle was rampant in countries that almost
border on the little kingdom. Americans were
contributing large sums of money to buy and'
ship to the starving children of central Europe
the very articles Denmark was sending over here.
Why should this be. so? During the sugar
famine last year we found ourselves buying in
Jugoslavia sugar that had been sent there from
Cuba.. Something is very wrong here, and when
the statesmen have time they may well give a
little attention to this problem of distribution.
Interesting Point in Railroading.
When a coroner's jury charged the engineer
and fireman of the Michigan Central passenger
train with" responsibility for the terrible wreck at
Porter, and accused them of manslaughter, an
interesting avenue in railroad experience was
opened. It is alleged, and perhaps well estab
lished, that" the engineer disregarded a signal as
well as a derailing switch, running by the one
and full tilt off the other. His carelessness in
this would seem to be culpable beyond quibble,
particularly as he must have been well acquainted
with the danger and normally on the alert at that
important junction point. Some failure of his
brain to function for the moment is finally
chargeable for his act. We may expect to see
something like this develop at the trial, if it ever
comes off. What effect it is to have on the te
lation of the railroad company to the suits that
will surely be brought is quite as interesting. Al
though the courts have universally held the cor
poration to be responsible for the acts of its
agent, what will be the ruling when a defense
establishes the criminal if not malicious neglect
of that agent? Aside from these legal aspects,
the wreck has again taught the lesson that be
tween the fallibility of the human mind and that
of mechanism, danger still lurks.
Hiram Goes to the Big City.
The most talked about man in New York C.ty
nowadays is Senator Hiram Johnson.1 True,
judging by the newspapers, he is receiving more
blame than praise, and only the Hearst papers
are backing him, but SO long as he keeps in the
limelight, he can tufn even the .censure to his
advantage. V
As attorney for Mayor Hylan, Senator John
son is endeavoring to foil theflan of Governor
Miller to put the traction lines of the city under
state control. That it was this same governor
who nominated Johnson's foe, Hoover, for the
presidency at the Chicago convention probably
docs not diminish the zest of the conflict.
Mayor Hylan, whose administration has thus
far been a failure, has seized the advantageous
position that the pity itself is more competent
to handle its own traction affairs than is the state,
and, backed by Hearst, is evert, holding out the
idea of municipal ownership of the demoralized
systems. To the attacks of the supporters of the
governor, Johnson replies: "If I came up repre
senting a corporation, how respectable I would
be! But coming on behalf of the people, how
terrible!" He is at his best When engaged in
attack, and may indeed lay up considerable polit
ical capital for himself in a state which has 45
electoral votes. i
Japan, in insisting thaj its mandatory gives
it the' same control of territory and. the cables
as Germany prior to the war, reveals the same
understanding of the League of Nations arrange
ments as the other signatories, and all appeal to
have forgotten their indignation at the same 'c
tics when used by Germany.
The German counterfeiters who traded their
imitation notes for Russian gold which turned
out to be brass are probably v- congratulating
themselves that they did not get Russian bonds

(From the Brazil, Ind., Times.)
Chief of Police Guy Bolin did another
cle-ver piece of detective work yesterday
when he recovered two stolen umbrellas
on a very slender clew. Thursday evening
a well known lady of this city accompanied
by her children went out on a call and as it
was raining- they took two umbrellas alonp.
The umbrellas were left on the front porch
and when they started home the shower
sticks had disappeared. As the umbrellas
were valuable the lady did not care to lose
them and yesterday she reported the theft
to the police. The only clew she was able
to give Chief Bolin was a description of two
women who were walking' behind her on
their way down the street. Using this de

the two women and recovered the umbrellas
in less than two hours.

, 'When I was a very small boy,' began the bell
hop, 'my father caught me in a lie. He was a
man of violent temper, but of deep religious feel
ing, and in a transport of rage, at the very re
membrance of which I still tremble, he put a
curse on me, a most elaborate curse, such a curse
as could not fait to take effect. I cannot recall
the torrent of words which overwhelmed me,
but I shall never forget the conclusion of his
masterly anathema. "Jlay you," he thundered,
"never speak aught but the truth, though you
hang for it!" And I do not doubt that ultimate
ly I shall hang for it.' The bellhop checked a
tear that had started from his candid blue ye,
and heartened by the sympathetic countenances
that fronted him, he resumed his story. 'The
curse went immediately into effect. Mv school
days were a continued story of punishment and
humiliation, for I was driven to confess to every
piece of mischief in which I was concerned, and,
which was far worse, to incriminate others, to
that I was obliged to leave the school the most
detested of youths. , In the meantime my father
repented of his malediction, and took every
means to have the curse removed, but nothing
came of it. although he consulted the most re
nowned astologers, oracles, and soothsayers. He
took me abroad one summer, and sought the aid
of many learned psychologists, but all confessed
themselves baffled. Encouraged and instructed
by my father, I made every effort to lie, and
sometimes success seemed within grasp, but at
the last moment the truth would pop from me,
and we would sob bitterly in each other's arms.
In the end I gave up all hope of escaping my
destiny, and lived peacefully enough until my
father's death obliged me to earn my living. My
first position was that of office boy with-a reli
gious monthly, but I was discharged on the second
day. Although positively instructed by the edi
tor to say that he was not In his office, I could
not avoid tellinjr the truth to the first visitor who
inquired for him. My.employer was much inter
ested in my peculiar disability. .''You are a. noble
youth," he said, "and without question you ft-e

tic's young heroes; but you are wasting your sift
on a religious Journal, where virtue is so com
mon as not to be appreciated. You need a larger
field, and I am doing you a service in partisg
with you." He thereupon instructed the cashier
to pay me a full week's wages, shook hands very
kindly, and went back to his office.'

"LIFE'S LITTLE IRONIES."
Women develop neurasthenia, ner
vousness and nervous prostration;
and have nervous breakdowns when
they get H started out on their
long stretch of everyday life largely
because their early training does not
fit them for life as housewives, ac
cording to Dr. A. Myerson.
Girls are trained to vanity, to emo
tionality, and to romantic ideals.
Their training, including their read
ing, their visits to the theater, and
their conversations with comrades
train them admirably for courtship,
but not for life beyond that point
Our social machinery makes for
discontent of women, and this, with
the4ad fundamental training, makes
a combination which many women
cannot withstand. It de-energlaes
them and out of this process long
continued, nagging, day after day,
there arises a state of nervousness or
worse.
To the development of nervousness
several factors contribute. One is
tho type of woman. Myerson tells us
certain types of women are fairly
certain to develop some degree of ill
balance under the prolonged strain of
life. These are: The hyperesthetle.
the overconscicntlous, the overemo
tional, the nondomestlc, the neurotic,
the physically ill.
It must be remembered, however,
that many women belonging to one
of those types or having well devel
oped qualities found in more than
one type develop into fine wives and
mothers. Much depends on the hus
bands they marry and the environ
ments they find themselves in. There
fore, Dr. Myerson next discusses the
environmental - factors which con
tribute to the making of the nervous
housewife.
He first discusses the housework
and the home. The nature of the
housework makes for nervousness. It
is isolated, monotonous, sedentary,
and, in the main, disagreeable. While
there are neurasthenic women among
the Idle rich, poverty and hard work
are more forceful factors in nervous
ness. The next environmental factor dis
cussed by -Myerson is the housewife's
failure properly to react to the dis
agreeable. The phase of this subject
discussed is the worry of a mother
about her children, their illnesses,
their behavior, conduct, school
troubles, and failures in social ad
justments. Poverty is a powerful factor in
producing' nervousness, we are in
in era of discontent. Those of us
less well off try to imitate those who
have larger incomes. Envy, jeal
ousy, covetousness the sins con
demned in the tenth commandment
contribute to the nervousness of
housewives.
Myerson says the most successful
commercial minds Jn America are in
a conspiracy against, the poor house
wife to make her discontented with
her lot by increasing her desires.
The husband she marries may be
a very large factor in making the
housewife a nervous invalid. House
hold conflicts are a contributing fac
tor. Extravagance, difficulty over
money matters, high cost of living,
envy, jealousy, training and care of
children, sexual disloyalty, alcohol
ism, the- use of other drugs, petty
annoyances are others. Myerson
nays: "The fiercest domestic con
flicts arise out of the inherent child
ishness of men and women." He ex
claims: "How much harm the ro--mantle
. tales have done to mar
riages." I
An interesting chapter is that
which deals with symptoms as weap
ons used by the nervous housewife
to get what she wants from husband
or children. Some nervous women
who cannot gain what they want by
force, ordinary' strategy, or ordinary
persuasion, succeed through weak
ness and by , playing on sympathy.
This reacts on the woman, greatly
increasing her nervousness.
i Vm Tincture of Iodine.
A. H. E. writes: "What is there to
relieve frost bite, especially frost

' REPLY.
I presume you refer to the itching
which follows frost bite. Wear wool
en socks and warm, thick shoes. If
your feet get very cold do not warm
them rapidly. Paint with tincture
of iodine occasionally, say. once a
week.
Both are Wrong.

Why Milk Is High?.
Omaha, March 4. To the Editor
of The Bee: With your permission
I would like to dispute the asser
tion of our retail milk dealers that
thev could not make a living unless
they charged 14 cents per quart for
their milk.' They remind me of the
sailor who attended his brothers
baptism. The brother had been a
notorious liar. It appears they had
to cut a hole in the lee to perform
the ceremony and when he came up
out of the water the sailor said to
him. "John, Is It cold?" "No, broth
er." Dip him again, Parson, he
lies yet!"
Now let us see They say figures
don't lie. I talked to one milk wag
on driver this morning. I asked
him how many quarts he served to
his customers per day. He told me
400 and some. Now let us taxe 4uo
for a basis. For one week of seven
days at 14 ccnU, this cbmes to $198
for afte wagon alone. According to
that Florence farmer, he received
13 cents per gallon or SV cents per
quart from the reta'ler. The whole
saler would receive $91 for his share
of this $196, leaving a balance of
HOB to Dav the men's wages who
run the. wagons and feed the horses
on the cheapest feed in years.
It seems to me there is something
rotten in Denmark and if the people
do not enter a protest, and stand by
it, against these combines, tney
will become more putrid. Who is
the most powerful, the people ov
the business combinations that
curse our land? I say curse, for it
is these that are driving so many of
our countrymen to socialism, an
archism and bolshevlsm. Patriotism,
I fear, is growing scarcer and scarc
er as time goes on.
Talk to whom you will and its
case of excellent blood. Who Is cor
rect?"
REPLY.
Neither is correct. Whether vac
cination takes or not is determined
by the potency of the vaccine and the
susceptibility or the person. The
condition of his blood, whatever that
means, has nothing to do with the
case.
That's the Usual Result.
M. writes: "When I run a long
distance my heart beats so fast I can
see my snirt move, dui wnen i am
doing mothlng it beats normally;
Does that signify anything wrong?"
. . REPLY.
NcJXhe people who need to tak
stock in their hearts ure those who
have rapid, irregular or pounding
heart beat or pain in the heart with

our congressmen and senators, even
our presidents come in for abuse.
To tny lnind theso conditions ought
not prevail. I do not know any
thing better to offer than to say let
every business man get the 10 com
mandments and hang them in his
office, commit them to memory snd
practice what they teach, for .surely
no man can object to their teaching.
Then again I would like to have our
preachers read them at their morn
ing services, too.

A Bit o Cheer
Each Day o the Year
By John Kendrick Bangs.
LUXURIES.
I ask not luxuries to please
My taste for social vanities.
Although I frankly do confess
I like them rather more than less,
But luxury of Time and Space
To do the little deeds of grace
Wherewith to make a brighter day
For fellow-travelers on the way,
That is the sort of plenitude
I deem to hold the greater good.
