The vote in the house committee of the whole by which the moving picture censorship bill was passed is not an encouraging sign. Whatever of debate was held, and it lasted for several days during the session, did not show the broad pur pose of constructive legislation, but turned finally on a narrow and regrettable concept of public morality and responsibility. , The Bee has long stood squarely against any form of unfit or in decent exhibitions. It has frankly denounced on many occasions plays and pictures whose appeal was to the idly curious or morbid sensation seekers. Often it has stood alone in this attitude, and frequently . it has Upheld Its stand it the expense of loss of advertising patronage, which has been refused it because ity would not' give approval to what it conceived to be improper forms of amusement. But The Bee does not believe it wise to in vest a group of men and women, no matter how carefully selected, with the keeping of the pub lic conscience. At present we have laws which will prevent the showing of anything positively immoral or indecent. Beyond that it is dan gerous to go. Each individual is supposed to be qualified to decide for himself on matters that affect him only, and should have that privilege. When the state undertakes to go beyond thi;, and to decide for its citizens, it invokes a spirit of intolerance that is foreign to all our notions of liberty and free government. - ( We are inclined to pass over as ernoty and' vairi the threat of Jeary that the newspapers of the state will next be subjected to the censor ship. Such a threat is the utterance of intoler ance and bigotry. Nebraska will never reach such an unhappy condition. The newspapers of the State are free moral agents, restrained by the high sense of right and wrong and of public duty and private obligation that animate their editors and publishers, and may patiently brook any pro posal that they must conform to the standard set by rtate censors, no matter how broad minded w tolerant they may be. A newspaper could rot be published under such conditions, at least not in America. Good morals do not need the support of restrictive laws. Nor is the cause of good gov ernment served by attempts to impose the will of one man on that of another in matters wherein each should make the decision for himself. The United States of America rests on this principle, and it is also the cornerstone of the state of Nebraska. Moving picture censorship, which necessarily includes by implication at least the right to review and decide on all forms of amuse ment, is an "attack directly at the foundations of our institutions. . s The Bee hopes the house will yet be con trolled by a higher conception of duty and a better understanding of what is needed to foster and develop good morals and strong character, and that it will check this danger before it has pro ceeded too far. Nebraskans should be "permitted to decide some things for themselves. ' The Raiser's League of Nations. , The claim of the former kaiser of German that he originated the idea of the league of na tions will not add anything to the popularity of tha? institution. His aim; as far as it is ascer tainable from the extracts of his book appearing in the newspapers, appears to have been peace, but at his own price. France, Russia, Italy and Germany were to be charter members, and any Other nation wishing to associate itself in the al liance might do so. Great Britain seems quite definitely to have been left out in the cold, and in fact the liague would have had the effect of uniting Europe against it. "Therii was no question as to the presidential power over this league," Wilhelm writes. That can only be understood as an admission or boast that he himself would have sat at the top of the world as president of the league. The aim seems to have been peace by force, with no fine words concerning international justice or the rights of . small nations. In spite of this lack of profes sions of idealism, there is considerable in com mon between the kaiser's league and the one ' now existing. Both are designed to clamp the Iron Hand on the world map as"' it stands today, to maintain a stable equilibrium even at the ex pense of progress and changing conditions. Perhaps if Germany had been able to gain its ends through peaceful alliance with the rest f Europe, there would have been no war, but war itself was preferable to domination of that kind. permitted to know so little. Mr. Creel, whose exploits in the propaganda department of the nation during the war were far from creditable, may be expected to write entirely from a dif ferent viewpoint. There will be crunching of bones and a general stirring up of the animals when Mr. Creel cuts loose. His work, of course," will cast more heat than light, but that of Mr. Baker may be expected to preserve more of the historical truth. It is, however, to be regretted that the story is not to come from Mr. Wilson's own hand. His standing as an historian, together whit his exclusive and intimate knowledge of the affairs of the war period, could have contributed much more to the enlightenment of the public than either of these substitute efforts will be able to do. Sympathy "From One Who Knows." "He jests at scars who never felt a wound," quoth Romeo when he was forced to retort to the ribald jesting of Mercutio inA the rest, and he planted a thought that has taken deep root. But he who has felt not one but many wounds, and who bears the honorable marks of conflict in which he did not shirk, may speak of the melee with modest assurance. So when William How- f-ard Taft , bespeaks a little consideration for Warren Gamaliel Harding, expressing something of sympathy for his predicament, it behooves the world to heed Mr. Taft writes of the present situation after this manner: ' Warren G. Harding, there is reason to sus pect, today sees in many directions light that was not quite so visible when he was a sen ator or candidate for president. With differ ent light has come the ever-tempering influ ence of responsibility. With a sane, level headed counsetor like Charles E. Hughes, it may well be that Mr. Harding has a somewhat altered view, of what "America first" his pet campaign slo gan means. There is not the slightest doubt ' that his secretary of state, when he can squeeze his way through the serried ranks of onice seekers at the White House, is telling him that, unless we tread warily, "America first" might easily be converted into some thing more nearly resembling "America last." 1 The necessity to go slowly on a foreign program is not unwelcome to the president. He needs a 16-hour day to cope with the on slaught of place hunters and spoilsmen. Vir tually no other subject is now engrossing his attention. Conditions abroad being what they are, the question of who's to be collector of internal revenue at some important American port, or whether this or that notable shall be ambassador to Italy, Japan or Belgium, ranks in Mr. Harding's cogitations far ahead of any international problem. As an ex-president of the United States Mr. Taft speaks from experience, and his comment on the present perplexities of the president comes from an understanding of his problems. None can know better than Mr. Taft how the view changes as the viewpoint shifts. The president must see a broader aspect of the questions pre sented than did either the senator or the candi date, and so will welcome an opportunity to ap proach with something of caution the great problems he is expected to solve. The "serried ranks of office seekers," to which Mr. Taft refers are very real to the occupant of the Whfte-HousS just now, but even the presence of these can not shut off entirely llhe scene that will occupy the executive's attention. for many days, and the sug gestion that Americans be patient is well timed. Substitutes for.Mr.Wilson. Following the announcement that Woodrow Wilson will resume the practice of law which he left Off at Atlanta. Ga., back in 1883, comes the information that he has foregone the task of writ ing xthe memoirs of his life in the presidency. Instead friendly biographies by 'Ray Stannard Baker and George Creel are promised. With these supplemented by the forthcoming volume by Robert Lansing the world may have to be i contenjt. t Mr. Baker is a writer of some reputation and wide political knowledge? he was with President Wilson throughout the Paris peace conference, and as he has access to the memoranda and private papers of Mr. Wilson, his work may throw considerable light on the stirring eventi of our own times concerning which we have been A Line 0' Type or Two Haw te the Line, 1ft the quips (all where they tnay TheRistotonhreaHall." When action by a mob supplants" law and order, democracy has broken down. This is more true when the rights of free speech and free assemblage' are invaded than of any other form of gang violence, and it 'is a matter of deep distress to all who understand and hold to the American principles of fair play that the cam paign in Kansas against the Nonpartisan league should have turned to tar as the final argument. ' Surely there is some other method of. meet ing the claims and assertions of this organiza tion. The resort to force to break up a meeting of farmers and Carry off their speakers is evi dence of one of two things; Either the victims J are rights and they cannot be answered by logic or the men who maftreated them are so unin formed as not to, be capable, of presenting the contrary view. Two men were carried through -Barton county into the city of Great Bend, and thence into the country again, Where they were forced to strip and apply steaming tar to their own flesh. .This refinement of cruelty will be taken by some as proof of the cowardice of the mob,, none of whom was willing actually to infiut the torture himself. This is an indignity that no man can forget or forgive, and it is not oo much to predict a further rise of the mob spirit in Kansas unless Governor Allen restores ortter and proceeds to hunt out and punish the perpe trators. , Americans should not thus face each other in hostile and brutal unreason. No class is ap pointed guardian over the thoughts and actions of any other, and in a state with 'as high average intelligence as Kansas, it is ridiculous that any group should set itself up to decide what the rest of the community should be permitted to hear. If the organizers break any laws by their activities, the courts are capable of dealing with them, and if, on the other hand, no laws are infringed by their meetings, those who interfere by means of tar and violent suppression are doubly guilty, violating not only the law of the land, but the spirit of fair play as well. The Canadian colonel who said he had no objection to ordinary lecturers on prohibition but refused to allow "agitators like 'Pussyfoot Johnson" to speak in the army should write a new dictionary and define "agitator" as. a man who can draw a crowd. Since the American chemical warfare division has discovere'd a liquid poison to be raineddown from airplanes, three drops of which will kill ahy person it touches, no young man will ever think of going to war-without an umbrella. Senator Kendrick of Wyoming, although democrat, is out in favor of a tariff on wool, thereby setting a worthy example to Senator Hitchcock of putting the good of the farmers above dev6tion to partisan theories. That pathetic cry you now hear is for a living wage for investors, but those who have to earn a living are not 'easily moved to tears over the predicament of tnose who own one. The legal opinion that beer is a medicine must be based on the belief that it will cure thirst. ENCORE ROX8ARD. I can not think he was but chanticleer. Crowing tha easy conquests of a court In careless stanzas, chanted half In sport And half in hope his flattery might endear To arching brows their facile sonneteer; Rather 1 mark the vital soul's import, , Grave 'neatlv the smiles, too candid to distort To a mere elegance, his mood sincere. So I have called him master nnd have sung My fondest songs feigning to follow him. And longing that my plaintive- lips might limn My love with some1 faint echo of his tongue. Taut are the strings and ti'neful of my heart Could I but pluck them with the master's art. , FETRAKCIUNO. THE' school of journalism may be interested in an extract from R. M. Lucey's new book: "Originality in newspaper production is one of the hardest things in the world to accomplish. Short of printing the. matter upside down or sideways, or leaving blanks for the intelligent reader to fill in as he chooses there is practically no scope for innovations." THB 360TII."" Sir: Have Just rereivved a message from my landlord (God bless him!) in which he says "to sign Immediately Is principally the most impor tant thing." What degree of Importance would you attach to it? . CHICK. ON the rent receipts of one landlord, and perhaps on those of others, is the affecting assur ance: "Prompt payment of the rent makes a strong tie between landlord and tenant. Please remember that you agreed in your lease to pay monthly in advance." The congregation of ten ants will arise and sing, "Blest be the tie that binds I" VISION OP PARADISE. After Bhaf-trlharl. One sayeth, "surely this fis paradise. To lie close tented in her tender eyes;" And one "for me,' the nightingale and rose;" And one "for me, the converse of the wise." Yea, all these, things are pleasant in men's sight. But those there are that hunger for the might Of silence, and the brotherhood of stars. In cool, calm spaces on the mountain height: Where down the gleaming path of Luna's beams Old memories advance; and youthful dreams Personify the radiance of night, Dissolve the gloom, and lead the soul to light.

'I am as anxious as another to get away,' Bald Nathan Weatherwax, 'yet I con fess I find this barber's story not uninteresting.' 'Proceed, Mr. Shagpat,' said the Police Captain, and the barber made him a gesture ot courtesy.

'Should I not return in two hours,' I Bald, 'you will understand that something has gone amisa and will seek me.' With this brief agreement I set forth on my adventure, and con ducted my Journey to the west side of the city with extreme circumspection, as it pleased me to believe that my footsteps were dogged. I scru tinised every person in the street car, but could detect no sign of surveillance, and though I looked over my shoulder more than once-when I left the car and walked to Warren Avenue, no one followed me. When I reached the number sought I paused to survey the vicinage.

P. wants to know what basis there is for the old adage. "Feed a cold and starve a fever." The first obstacle I ran up against when I started to find out was, "What did the adage mean?" What was meant by a "cold" and what by a "fVver?" We know what ordinarily Is called an acute cold is really a fever. It is an acute catarrhal fever, as Fnn tus calls it, and is often due to the same germs, and, in fact, at times is only a part, of pneumonia or lung fever. It is possible the ancient phi losopher responsible for this episram had that in mind when he spoke of a cold. If so. ho was right. How ever, consumptives are not so much overfed as was tho rule 20 years ago. What fever did this ancipnt,phi losopher have in mind when ho ad monished us to starve a fever? If ho had in mind a long continued fever, puch as typhoid, he was wrong, though it was the custom to "starve" typhoid fever not so long1 ago. When the study of pathology be came popular, physicians who paw the multiple large deep ulcers pres ent in-the intestines in typhoid fever became timid about giving solid food to their typhoid cases. An English man. Graves by name, convinced that typhoid patients weVe being "over starved, adopted a more liberal feeding policy in such cases. By his orders on his tombstone were chis eled the words, "He fed fevers." Nevertheless the more liberal feed ing of cases of typhoid fever pa tients did not become general until about 10 years apro. Starving a long continued fever case is now regarded as wronsr policy. A very carefully restricted diet, but far above the old "starvation" line, is regarded as rifrht. ; But how about the feeding of acute fevers of short duration, such, for in stance, as acute catarrhal fever, also called "colds' and coryza? Dr. Fan tus says let them follow their whims. I think he is about right. Most of them have no appetite. If so, eat ing should not be insisted on. Ip fact, the existence of this symptom indicates that the dierestive system is feeling the effect of the infection and therefore Bhould not be overload ed with work. .Vomiting is a symp tom in some cases. Such patients should be given no food. Dr. Fantus says the whims of appetite of a per son with acute catarrhal fever can be safely humored. If there Is a cravinsr for sugar or what not let it be indulKed. Or rather no harm will result from indulging It. This is as near as he comes io agreeing to the admonition, "Feed a cold." For instance, when a cerjtairr aoctor ppts a cold he has a whim for beefsteak stewed in onions and taken with whisky. The origin of whims is partly physical.' nartlv mental, and partly social. Therefore "whims" am poor guides to follow in sieknessv The gist of the whole rrfttter is that it makes no differerire in deal ing with a common cold wether you feed ori do not feed. Perhaps, all In all, iinderfeedlnis. Is best. Go to bed and stay therg throughout the fever stage. Above all, keep snug and warm. Drink an abund ance of water.

D. writes: "I am a young ludy of 21 and have astigmatism of ny right eye. There is no difference apparent in close work, such as reading or writing, but objects two yards or more away, when viewed with that eye only, are blurred, while to the left eye tht'y are clear. "1. Is astigmatism congenital or acquired? "?. If acquired, what causes it? "3. If acquired, could it bo a re sult of measles? At tho age of 11, I liad measles and while confined dur ing thtv quarantine' period read a rood deal by daylight and electric light. "4. Does it become progressively ivorse ? "6. I never had my eyes tested until a few months ago, and am now wearing glasses procured from an optician. Should I wear prescrip tion glasses instead? ""6. Is astigmatism a common affliction? "7. Approximately what percent ge of the people have it? "8. Is It possible to restore normal vision In an astigmatic eye?" REPLY. Your trouble may not be astigma tism. You may be myopic or near sighted in your right eye" without being astigmatic. In many people nhe. vision in the eyes is not identical nd in some the difference Is con siderable. In astigmatism the curve of the front of the eye is irregular instead of being normally' regular. The condition Is in considerable measure developmental. It may be congenital or acquired. There is no reason for thinking that measles or any other Infection not causing ulceration of the cornea could cause asugmausm. to properly fit. an astigmatic eye requires considerably more skill than is required in fitting glasses for short-sightedness or far- signteaness. Astigmatisirr Is a com mon disorder. Prrtnortv flitlno- glasses make good vision possible. Should Not Spit on B'loor. A Reader writes: -"If a person having catarrh continually spits, on the floor are other membersi of the family likely to contract diseases from It? If so, What kind would be the result and what should be done? REPLY. Spitting on the floor may cause. tuberculosis,, oneumonia, bronchitis, and coryza. I do not know that the fact the offending party has ca tarrh makes the habit less indefensible. It's Bronchial Asthma. Mrs. L. H. writes: "I am troubled with what I call a cough which bothers m most at night on going; to bed. it lasts for live minutes or so at a time, continuing so all the night.
