Secretary Fall has written to Senator Lodge a letter that deserves careful attention. On its , surface it implies that Great Britain lias been guilty of a show of bad faith with the United States in its course relating to the Mexican oil industry. When the, Carratua constitution was adopted provision was made for the nationaliza tion of the oil deposits. This applied to all fu ture discoveries, and inferentially was nude retroactive as to wells already producing. Be IBRse of this recognition has been withheld. from the Obregon government, and conversations are now in progress between Washington and Mex ico City over the point. Secretary Fall charges that the Mexican Eagle, a British company in which the govern-' ment is said to control, has broken away from . its compact with American companies, and is making its own terms with the Mexican govern ment. -In effect, this amounts to recognition by the British of the Mexican right to control Mexi can oil, How a serious quarrel can be predicated on that ppint is not clear. Certainly the United States has no'just right to undertake to prescribe to the Mexicans terms on which the resources of that country may be exploited by outsiders. What we can do, and all we should do, is to in sist that Americans have treatment as favorable as that granted to others. This principle' was In sisted upon by Secretary Colby m his note to ' the British government regarding Mesopotamia. It has been recognized by the British. If our oil men re working ginglehanded throughout the world "in their endeavors to dis cover and develop new sources of supply, .that is a tribute to American enterprise. Our gov ernment has never sought to provide subventions for such undertakings, nor to acquire a standing on any basis other than that of justice and equity. . Americans can go abroad now, fully as- , sured that they will be protected in their legiti mate business, "wherever that may take them, but itgWould be a departure from our traditions if the federal government were to undertake to sc " cure consideration for any through making con cessions or purchase of favors from foreign gov- - ernmcnts. ; The Mexican issue is being connected with the Colombian treaty, the animus of which is to ' secure the good will of that country for 'Ameri " can enterprise. The Bee has opposed this treaty vfrom the start. In the first place, if any wrong was done to Colombia, , it . should , have been adjusted long ago; if we owe that country anything, we ought to pay it. . The record does not disclose facts to support such a , theory. If the Colombian claim amounts to blackmail, as some able investigators believe, it ought to be resisted. "' ' ' v':;, Whatever the outcome, Ithe relations of, our government . with all others should rest on "a foun dation of fair and honorable, dealings, not on the uncertainty of bargains such as seenis to be sug gested by Secretary Fall. Finckney's patriotic dictum, "Millions for defense, not a cent for tribute," pught to be.rcmemberej now.'" -t "Gigantic Economic. Vicuuni." t ; In his efforts to make clear to Mr. Gompers why the United States of America' does not get "all het up" over the prospect; of trade with soviet Russia, Secretary Hughes' bat applied an- - other descriptive phrase of immense value be cause of its power. Russia presents, according to the secretary oi state, a "gigantic ccopomic vacuum." The trade so generally' .talked abdut docs not exist...- Russians long for American goods, it is true, for they have placed orders to the estimated amount of $6,500,000,000, but they haven't. a cent vto pay with. The Soviets are supposed to have about $175,000,000. in gold to spend, but'if alt this were sent to the United States it would not make much of showing. In 1913 the Russian trade was a small item in our national commerce, and will hot 4ioc be proportionally . greater. . '. The truth is that the Russians have nothing to sell. They have failed to produce enough for their own consumption, let alone an exportable surplus of anything.- In prewar times.the aver age production of flax in Russia was around 500,000 tons, of which three-fourths was exported. - Last year less than 40,000 tons was produced, or only about one-third of what normally is re quired for home uses. This is but a sample 3f their plight. Some of the richest coal fields - outside the United States.-exist in, Russia, and yet American coal is being . imported there. . Everything has gone to .pieces in the years that bave been devoted to the effort to live without working. " , J The door to Russian trade was opened al- . most a year ago; what is lacking is the support of our government to the soviet credit. 15o long as Lenine & Co. have nothing- to-sell apd are v asked to pay cash for -what they buy, traffic with Russia is likely to be slack. It is even los ing its potency as a talking point with the reds. Shakespeare in a Slander Suit. -" A New York lawyer, won a verdict in an action for libel by not making an argument to the jury. He merely quoted Iago's lines, ad dressed to Othello, and beginning: "Good name in man or woman, my dear lord, is the immediate 1 jewel of my onL"! The defendant had made a ; two-hour talk to the jury, Whether or not it be " the "oldest written law on libel," as the lawyer describe it, .that text sums np all .that is con- tained in libel.' "Who steals my purse (teals trash; 'tis something, nothing; 'twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands. But he who filches from me my good name, robs me of that which not enriches him and leaves me poor indeed." A generation ago Judge Love of Iowa ana lyzed for a class of law students the trial scene in "The Merchant of Venice,! and dismissed Por tia as a fair but transparent pettifogger. On many another occasion some work of the Immortal William has been quoted from by an eloquent barrister, eager to bolster up his own word pic tures by borrowing from a master. It is quite likely, though, that the New York case will be found to be the only one in which Shakespeare, actually has won a jury by his argument. The sentiment 'is sound, and is commended for careful consideration by all and sundry. Why Not Let the Voters Choose) Is it possible for the citizens of Omaha to select their own commissioners? Or, must the choice be made for them by self-anointed groups of prejudiced partisans? , Our present form of city government was de vised to provide a clear field for all who wished to serve as commissioner. An elimination primary narrows the field down to fourteen, from whom seven are selected, and these seven elect from among their number one who will bear the title of mayor. He is but the executive of the commission, supreme in his own department but not in the others. . - Why should the next three years of Omaha's history be wrapped up in the political fortune of one of two men, neither of whom is selected by the people for the place he aspires to? Good gov ernment for Omaha embraces far more tha either of these represents. ; Six men who have proved by service and accomplishment their fitness for the office are candidates for re-election. Their presence in of fice i9 a guaranty that the public business will be efficiently and economically handled. Parks, streets, boulevards, fire department, building, all the varied and diversified activities of the house keeping of a great city, are involved, as well as the police department Capable men who know their business are required to. handle these things. Omaha has spent considerable money in the training of the men who are now presented for a renewal of their commissions.' This money has been well spent, and should not be wasted by denying any of the six a right to serve again. Ure, Zimman, Ringer, Butler. Towl and Fal coner have made good.. The Bee believes the' city should have the service of men whose ability is not questioned, and so recommends these six . to the voters as worthy of re-election, feeling confident that it is for the public good. Italy's Distressful Lot. Italy is in the midst of an election campaign, but its riVal factions are not content to fight the issues out by the ballot alone. Dispatches have been frequent of late telling of deeds of violence both on the part of the socialists and of the na tionalists, or "fascisti." The stronger hand now appears to be that of the "fascisti," which, raised in support of the middle classes in their oppo sition to governmental concessions made to labor and in favor of national expansion, is composed mainly of students, returned army officers and adventurers who have taken an enthusiastic part in the war and are determined that the "fruits of the war" be not lost. The movement first arose in Trieste and ths occupied territories, but soon spread to northern Italy. When the workingmen strike "fascisti" act as strikebreakers, when the peasants drive out the landlords and divide- up the farms, these ardent young men descend ori them, remove the leaders and force the rest to listen to patriotic addresses. When the radicals blow up a news paper plant or commit other overt acts, the "fascisti" promptly apply the bomb or torch to the socialist newspaper office and wreck the labor hall. , For two years in certain provinces the radi cals, by use of the boycott and forced collec tion of tribute from the wealthy, had been su preme. This reign of the proletariat now has been pretty well shattered by direct action of the conservatives: The elections for Parliament ap proach and the force of physical controversy ap parently increases. In such an atmosphere neither side cart-be expected to abide by the 'results at the polls. Bjr 'its weak policy of shirking responsibility and failing to Maintain itself as a stern and just arbiter ; among, the opposing ; political; . and economic forces, the government of Italy; now stands powerless while something ' very; near anarchy has risen. Insteadof upholding princi ples, the premier has encouraged first one faction and then the other,, until between them he has losl all power, to maintain order. 1 The old Georgia farmer who says he learned counterfeiting while in prison has touched on the great problem, of penology and raised the ques tion anew of whether prisons, as now run, do anything to make their inmates better men in stead of embittering them against society and steeping theht in vice. " Time tempers all things, even human hopes. Here we were during the war, talking of "re construction," and some were actually indignant when President Wilson announced his aim as merely "readjustment," and everyone now is glad to hear President Harding talk of nothing more than "re-establishment" or "restoration." The farmers of Kentucky have turned from the old tobacco-burning tactics of the night riders to co-operative handling of their crops as a solution of their troubles,' and though this may not get as much attention as the sensa tional method, it promises tiuch more profit. . The congressman-with a bill to give ail citi zens over 65 years of age a pension will find more supporters than the senator'who wants to give each ex-president $10,000 a year, and there is as much reason for one as the other. Judge Gary, who swore that steel prices would stay up now knows that all that goes up must come down, and that 'not even steel wilj float on the bosom of the clouds. 'King George showed himself to be a, good neighbor by opening the castle coal bunkers to the village when it was running short on fuel. What -more could be asked?. Twenty senators are said to have voted against confirmation ,fqr Cot George Harvey. Scarcely need to ask their politics. This April blizzard was adding insult to in jury. Fruit blossoms already were blighted. Treaty With Colombia . Nothing In It to Safeguard f American Right of Honor (From the Chicago Tribune.) Advocates of the treaty with Colombia are of two varieties. Gentlemen like Senator Pom erene, who declare that we owe Colombia repa ration for wrongs done her by Theodore Roose velt; gentlemen like Senator Lodge, who assert that no reparation is called for, but that ratifi cation will put our relations with Colombia on a friendly basis and have the effect of protecting American interests, present or future, in that country. ; If the treaty offers reparation, the Tribune believes ft should be so decisively beaten that it will never appear again while there are enough votes to count against it. The United btates owes nothing to Colom bia for refusing to permit a group of Colombian politicians to hold up a world project. We Owe nothing to Colombia, but Colombia iowes. and for all time will owe, a great deal to the Ameri can people for buildinar the canal at its door. The charge in which the claim for reparation is made is that Roosevelt fomented revolution in Panama. It is not based on reputable evidence. It is discounted by common sense. The Pana manians had very good reason to revolt. The interest of Panama was all for the earliest pos sible building of the canal, but the politicians at Bogota were willing to gamble on that.. The Panamanians took the only possible course to make certain of the canal, and ihe United States did not iee fit and had no moral right to repudi ate their action. The net result has been to the great and permanent advantage of Colombia as well as of the world. But it is urged that the treaty has bee, amended so as to remove the verbal apology. This is hardly satisfactory. On the face of the amended, treaty, as we have seen it, there is virtually no consideration to the United States. There is recognition of the boundaries of Pan ama, thereris a grant to Colombians to use the canal on the same terms as American citizens, and there is a gift of $25,000,000 to the Colom bian government. ' The only inference to be drawn from such a document is that while, we were unwilling to apologize for the alleged wrong, charged on the floor of the United States senate and by JBogo tan statesmen, we were willing to pay for it in cash and privileges. But ratification is urged on the ground that we shall thereby ingratiate ourselves with Co lombia . and insure respect for the riahts of American enterprise in that country; As; to. the former, we incline to the theory that gratitude is a lively sense of benefits to come. , Colombian opinion is not 60 stable as to be insured bv a payment of cash, once the cash is in hand. This is not to disparage the Colombian character. It is to state a fact of human nature. As to insurance of American rights, there is nothing in the treaty covering that. We recog nize that dependable understandings between nations may be evidenced in other forms than the terms of treaties, but we see no reason why the treaty should not include terms assuring to American interests protection against ex post facto laws and confiscatory taxation and assure to us and to American enterprise not only equal treatment but special favor such as we grant Colombians in the use of the canal. In short, the treaty grants Colombia some valuable privileges, to. say nothing of a sum of American money not to be sneezed at, while America citizens are bending their backs under a staggering load of taxation rfnd Liberty bonds are selling at from 87 to 90 per cent of their face. If no consideration for these substantia! benefits appear in the treaty, or are otherwise definitely assured to us, the transaction is an apology and a reparation for wrongs not in flicted, and it should be refused by the senate. The United States should honorably foster good relations' with Colombia and every other state. i3ut a friendship purchased on the terms of this treaty would not be worth the money or last over night How to Keep Well By DR.

In the Lnngland school in Chicago the teacher had her pupils write es say on me care or trie teeth, prom ising to have the prlzo essay printed In a dally paper. No doubt when the teacher mado thin promise she thought everybody was as much In terested In th care of the teoth as she was and therefore the prize com postion would have news value. But, unfortunately, she was mistaken. "Whenever a survey of any group is made it ia always found that more trfan half -the people do not clean their teeth dally. They wash the face several times a day, but that is because the face is on parade. They wash the outside of the. lips, but when it comes to the Inside of the mouth, "nary a wash." Some of them have tooth brushes but they do not use them. Some are like, the little Cook county school girl who had a tooth brush but it was her aunt's and her- aunt would not let the children use it, or that other little Cook county school srirl who had a tooth brush which she found on the railroad track, but her father would not let her use It. A New York City dentist says he is opposed to deutal school inspec tion because there are not enounh dentists in America to fill all the cavities In school children's teeth. Anna Denenholz wrote the essay which got the prize. I wish, Anna, I could print your esseay. It is a Mod one and ought to be printed, for it tells the truth. Maybe this piece Written about you and your essay will be. read by more people than your essay would have been. It may cause some school children like you to cloan their teeth. If so, t am sure you will bo satisfied, Anna Denenholz, for nothinsr is more sat isfying than to feel that you have helped others, t ' You tell us, Anna, that the nflrse says only two of the 48 children in your school room had good teeth and clean mouths. Perhaps you and j our essay may help to change this. And, then. there are other school rooms just like yours. I dart say there are school rooms In which next Monday morning evory child will appear with face clean and s wearing a clean col lar, but If the teacher inquired she would find. that not one had cleaned his teeth. jThere might be other school rooms ii) which every child cleans his teeth every day, but there are not many such. , V Maybe,. Anna, you will do some missionary work right In your school room. I am sure your teacher will have you read your essay to the class. But maybe the good work will not stop there. So. if you, get a chance, Anna, tell your classmates that they can clean their, teeth even though they do not -own a tooth brush. It can be done with a piece of cloth wrapped around the finger or a piece of paper used the same way. For a wash there Is the home-made lime water you wrote about.

I took him to a, dentist, who told me to get a doctor's advice about building up his system with lime. The baby's teeth are all decayed and the !?u in s are very tender and sore. They swell it bumped a little and he often has the toothache. The dentist urged that the first teeth be lost almost as soon as they appeared The boy has cut the full 24 teeth and six In the top row are gone. Two more are commencing to decay. The lowr tines do not seem to show much decay, although two are dark He drools at night and does not sleer well. He weighs 32 pounds, but Is not fat. He talks perfectly. Is there anything I could put on the gums to relieve them? The dentist says It is impossible to do anything with them until he Is 4 or C years old." REPLY. The teeth that cannot be put in condition should be pulled, out. To leave a lot of decayed teeth in will do harm. Oive him cod liver oil and a mixed diet. Encourage him to ehew on bread and crackers and to CKnav bones. He will find all the lime he needs In milk and cereals. What he needs is to put his tissues In condition to use It.

Anxious writes: "Is tuberculosis of the bone dangerous? If so, how long can a person live who has It? Is there' any cure In a case which has lasted two or three years?" REPLY. Tuberculosis of the bone causes sickness and deformity. It does not often result In death. It Is generally cured. As a rule it is very chronic. Drinking raw milk from tuberculous cows is the most frequen cause. As it turns out, we are now committed to democracy in an extreme form: "La,bor"' largely proposes to assert itself distinctively as a class. This may be, it seems to me it is, unfortunate, but we are jeally estopped from objecting to democracy now. Conservatives as much as. oth ers joined in the war-cry that we were fighting for democracy, Germany not being a democracy. In fact we were not; we were fighting for'safety, German power having become a dangerous menace. But we said we were, and we must abide by it. It is idle to chide "Labor" for tak ing us at our word. We must remember thai we were party to the most sweeping extension of the. franchise ever made. We helped to give bracticatly : every man and some millions of women the vote. We have to face the new fu ture, not to look back. x That there is an active revolutionary and republican element in the working classes is abundantly clear. It is a serious matter; but the way to fight thjs element and its propaganda is not to cry out that every workingman is a' bol shevik, that the game is up. Here, too, we are partly reaping what we sowed. The whole daily press welcomed the Russian revolution.. Russia s "fight for liberty" was prayed for in churches. The prime, minister congratulated the . revolt tionaries In an official . and effusive message. Hardly a word was, said in sympathy. with the deposed, tsar, a cousin of our own lung;' not a hand has been raised to save him and his family from murder. No sympathy .has been expressed when other sovereigns have been deposed and sent away. The conversion of Germanv. Austria and other monarchies into republics has been hailed here with satisfaction. Can we be sur prised that wc too have our revolutionaries and republicans? None the less, our working people,' are not generally revolutionary or republican. The extremists are a small minority, though dis proportionately active. The average working man, I am convinced, remains just as Mr. Mas terman described him in "From the Abyss." "John Smith" persists nonpolitical, apathetic, easy-going, so long as he has his food and drink regularly and a house to sleep in. I do not say that this is a satisfactory character in many ways it is- lamentable but "John Smith" is cer tainly f not, an apt subject for . revolutionary propaganda. Henry Hodge in the Nineteenth Century." Largest Living Creature. The largest animal alive today, and probably the largest living thing the world has ever known, is the blue or sulphur bottom whale. The whale reaches a length of 90 feet and weighs over 75 tons. Ten or 12 men can stand upright in the mouth of a blue whale, although its throat is but nine inches in diameter. It lives almost en tirely on little red crustaceans, and from a partly filled stomach of.a blue whale over 1,000 pounds of shrimps have been taken. Its strength is enormous, and time and. again after it has been harpooned it has dragged a fair-sized ship with the latter's engines racing at full speed astern, through the water for many rods as though it were a rowboat, It is one of the so-called "whale bone" whales, and yields flesh to eat, sperm oil and bone, so that a single large whale will al most pay for a ship's voyage. It suckles its young, andis a vigorous fighter when protecting its offspring. A finback whale a dose- relative of the blue, can make a speed to equal a fast steamship.

Recalls Old Normal Board Fight. Omaha, April 14. To the Editor of The Bee: Rumor has it that President E. L. Rouse of Peru Ptattf normal, will be succeeded by Supl. A. L. Caviness of Kearney. Many will remember Mr. Caviness as a former member -of the State normal .board, of education . which flrod Dr. A. O. Thomas a rew years ago rrom the Kearney State normal, much to the detriment of that institution. Caviness is a special friend of Col. T. J. Majors, and it is thought the foregoing plan is a means ot reward ing Cavlnew: for the part he had in deposing Thomas.' Caviness is not popular among school men and women of the state and it is said on good authority that if the mem bers of the1 Peru faculty oould be free to- express their views ' on the matter that there would not be one who would be willing to have Cavi ness for president of the school. . Surely the' taxpayers and educa tional interests of the state will not sit, idly by and see this school used for a political foot ball. Caviness as president of one of the normal schools will sbpn have a divided nor mal board and general turmoil pre , vailing just as he always did while a member of the board. Alumni of the school will come to the rescue of the school-and prevent the im pending disaster. I am an alumnus, D. B. JOHNSON.. OX Another Klcetion Suggestion. Omaha, April 14!

To the Editor of The Bee: Kindly permit me, a little space In your columns for a few remarks in form of a plain talk of facte, In response to an article of your editorial of January 4, sub ject, "Your Boys and Girls." The, -theory of issuing a warning to the men and women of America to look after their boys and girts without giving any practical advico is like an incompetent physician, at? tempting to fight the symptoms of a disease instead or going to tne foundation to light and eliminate the cause. Any observer with practical expe rience and ability and knowiege of food values and dietetics can easily find the cause for all crime and evil The same is due principally to im proper nourishment and overeating, especially of our modern denatured while bread and Dastries and conse- auently a strong requirement of meats which areliard to'digest, caus ing the accumulation of morbid mat ters and gas in the stomach which enter into the blood, being the cause for all known and unknown diseases, the principal cause for our nervous irritable generation and the alarming increase of Insanity. Ali being the result of our modern modes of living, and self-poisoning of the blood. The healthy blood is the only source to build and repair our entire organism. Our modern science, and medical research do not seem to understand food values and nature finds if so. they would not tolerate such abuses of nature's laws and permit our manufacturers to denature our mod ern flowers and cereals, robbing the human body, the "Temple of God.' Out of the most essential mineral elements of nutrition and blood building materials in order to esti mate only the food value of so-called offals (shorts, brnn and miaaungs) note regulations and requirements of our food laws. To blame automobiles and demon rum -and nonrespei't for law for crime ftnd evil is absurd. All evil has its origin in. a weak mind. Lack of self-control and self-respect, if you please, and this condition will grow worse In spite of all laws and punishments, in spite of all the in fluence of our Christian institutions, in spite of all of our modern specifics and medicines and doctors of medi cine and operations which only de mand the pound of flesh aVid an early grave, and as life is an endless progression and if these innocent murdered victims, whether by force. or self-injury, through lack of under standing, could return and manifest, there would be a protest that would snake tne earui. There Is only one' great resource cf power in all the. universe, "Nat ure."

To the Editor of The Bee: Regardless of this line up of the avowedly "good" people against a group of rrien who rather glory in the fact that they are not so "goed," Mr. Ure ought to be kept working for the city. ' I. for one, am more interested in getting expert, reliable, industrious men on the oitiv board than in de bating strict against liberal law en forcement.
