To Have and Hold Our Own.
Something in the address of President Har
ding to the officers of the fleet will arrest atten
tion 6f the world. "America wants only what
is lighteously her own, and by the eternal we
mean to have that." This in no sense includes
any aspiration or covetous desire for what be
longs to another, but notifies the world that what
I'clongs to us we ill not yield.
What does this include? Fir,st o? all, the
right to manage our own affairs in our own
way, to share in the full lite of the world not
only oi" today but for all the days to come.
This ji'at now is not in question; it has been
challenged in the past, and may be again, but as
we have made good the defense of that right in
days gone by, uo we will maintain it in the fu
ture. At a time like this, when certain grave
questions arising out of the settlement of the
war occupy the minds of public men in all coun
tries, and when the altitude of America is of
prime importance, it is well to have the world
understand what our purpose is.
Our controversy with Japan over Yap is not
to obtain 'control of additional territory, for that
little spot in the western Pacific is scarcely
larger than sonic Nebraska farms. As the cen
ter of the great cable system, however, !t as
sumes proportions of importance. Under
Japanese control the communication between the
Last and the West along that line -would be
managed from Tokio. Such an undue advantage
can not be maintained. The United States built
the great Panama canal, the richest boon granted
maritime commerce in all its history, and opened
it to the world. So it wants the lanes of cable
communication kept . open, arid that is why it re
sists turning the little island over to Japan.
Revival of our merchant marine has gone
beyond hope, and has reached a point of realiza
tion that assures Americans that in the future
most of their trad'with the world will be car-rim-!
nti tin rW the American Mas:. Rivalry and
even jealousy will exist, because in setting up fori
ourselves we arc taking business away ironx
other nations, who have found here their best
customers. President Harding plans that both
at home and abroad we shall keep those things
that are our own. This does not menace any
legitimate undertaking of any other nation, holds
no intimation of aggression on part of the
United States, no thought of interference with
the affairs 6f others. It is just a frank statement
that we do not plan to meddle, nor to tolerate
meddling.
With such a policy squarely stated the world
can have no quarrel, and under it we may easily
maintain friendly relations with all, because our
international communication will rest on the
square deal.
Not So Radical After All.
The charge of bolshevism made against an
educational institution is serious enough to de
mand a study of the facts. Such an allegation
was made by the president of an Indiana school,
Valparaiso university, upon the occasion of his
resignation. It was plain that he had serioqs
differences with many of the students, and with
the installation of his successor it becomes ap
parent what they were.
One hundred former soldiers are being given
vocational training by the government at this
school. They came there to study and, perhaps
being. more tcrious-minded than most of the
other young people there, objected to the de
parture from the policy of the founders of the
school which the president had encouraged. They
complained that .athletic stars were hired to play
on the teams, that fraternities which formerly
were under the ban were being encouraged and
were introducing unwise distractions and distinc
tions. The rage for dancing also was a sore
point with the former service men. .
Two leaders . arose who said, among other
things, that such features were undemocratic,
and a great deal of criticism of the president
of the university was stirred up. The leaders
were suspended, and the charge of bolshevism
given currency by the head of tht school. A
new president has been inducted into office amid
the friendly demonstration of the students, a
return to the manners of a simpler day has been
made, with no fraternities, no outside athletics
and no .dances. The "Bolshevist rebellion, hav
ing achieved its end, is over, but no doubt the
former president is still seeing red.
Bachelor Defies Celibacy Tax.
Ordinarily the world has viewed celibacy as
a matter of personal concern. Bachelor or maid,
male or female, either from choice or from ne
cessity, for any one of a number of reasons, cer
tain individuals go down the lonely road of
single-blessedness to the, ultimate end, and are
commiserated or envied by those who have been
mated or mismated through life. Now and then
some enterprising set of lawmakers undertakes
to levy a tax on bachelorhood, acting presum
ably on the theory that the male celibate is
-moved by selfishness only in retaining his sin
gularity. Such an effort is now under way in
Montana, and a bachelor has risen up to defy the
law and the authorities who seek to enforce it. He
disdains to offer the stereotyped excuses as to
personal libej-ty "and the like. Instead he comes
out flatly and says he is single because certain
spinsters have in the past declined to accede to
waojag, .Whatever his deficiency, is not as
yet disclosed, but it can not be financial, for he
is a banker, and presumably able to care for a
family and to pay the tax as well. His' blandish
ments having failed to provide him with an
helpmeet and partner, he lays all responsibility
for his condition on the opposite sex, and says
he is not going to pay a tax for being a bachelor
until the boon is similarly extended to the spin
sters. "I refuse to get married to escape jail,"
he says, "and I will not pay the tax to escape
jail." It looks like jail for him, or the sus
pension of a silly law, while it is certain that
some woman has missed a husband of spirit.
What Is the Real Issue in Omaha?
As we near the end of the city campaign we
find the advocates of the "slate" furiously bom
barding one another with all sorts of charges
and accusations, but ignoring what appears to
be the real issue involved. It may amuse voters
after working hours to attend open-air mass
meetings where otherwise dignified and responsi
ble citizens lay aside for the moment all re
straint, and abuse other good citizens to the ut
most. But does this exchange of vituperation
and vi'.lifkation tend to good?
Voters of Omaha are confronted with the
duty of selecting commissioners who will have
charge of the affairs of the community during a
time when the utmost of wisdom and harmony
is needed. We are facing not so much a moral
crisis as an era of business expansion and city
growth. Many big things are planned for public
and private enterprise, and to the carrying out
of these plans attention should be given.
Omaha is not an immoral town; its people
are honest, sincere and energetic. Crime and
vice are found here, but to no greater extent
than in any other community of the same size
and with the shifting population that is inevita
ble in a bustling modern city. Nor, as we al
ready have pointed out, will this condition be
materially modified by the election of any one
Of the contending candidates.
What Omaha needs, nay, must have, is men
in office who are capable of efficiently transact
ing all the business of the city; who will faith
fully and competently manage the affairs of their
departments, and who will give the public the
benefit of wisdom born of experience. Such men
are asking re-election. They know the details of
the routine business, they are familiar with the
city's physical as well as moral needs, they have
shown themselves able during a time of great
trial to bring the community through in good
shape without greatly increasing costs, and they
are therefore worthy to be trusted with another
term. That is why Ure, Ringer.-Zimman, Butler,
Towl and Falconer should be re-elected.
A Tax-Dodging Duchess. ,
The Duchess of Rutland, peeved over the in
creasing British taxes, has refused and has been
haled into police court. Signs exist in many
countries of a similar balkiness in meeting the
costs of government. Perhaps the noble lady
does not approve of the way in which things arc
being run by Lloyd George. At all evehts she
has taken a leaf out of the book of the American
revolution, which had something to do with the
aversion of the colonists to meet the imposts
levied by the ministers . of another King George.
Only the other" day Americans living in Mex
ico protected, against having to pay taxes on
their incomes derived from investments' below
the border, alleging that inasmuch as they did
not feel that they had enjoyed sufficient pro
tection" from the United States, they did not feel
obligated to help maintain the government. A
definite propaganda is being spread by a radical
magazine to the end of forcing a diminution of
expenditures for armament It calls this the
method of "demand before supply" and hints
that only, by such direct action can what it re
gards as great waste be exterminated.
The noble British duchess, however, has
stated no such high-flown motive. Her tax is
$150, and she thinks that i3 too much. , A few
years ago she might have joined the suffragette;
group which asserted that as long as women did
not have the vote they should not pay taxes, but
that excuse, at least, is now gone. In absence
of other information, she must be set down sim
ply as an unusually honest tax dodger, and as such
entitled to a trace less condemnation than one
who pitches his reluctance to pay his due to the
nation on some idealistic or legally acute pre
tence. '
A Condition, Not a Theory.
From Charles M. Schwab we learn that Ger
many is beating the Allies back to normalcy.
German steel is sold in England at $20 per ton
lass thanit costs to make in England, and
pneumatic tools of German manufacture are sold
in Detroit at less than production cost. -The les
sOn is plain. If we are to compete with Ger
many in the home market this difference must
be equalized. One way is to reduce production
costs. This may be accomplished by cutting
wages. Nowhere in the civilized world, outside
of Russia, are skilled mechanics receiving pay
as low as that prevailing in Germany. The al
ternative to the reduced pay is a protective
ttriff. Mr. Harding realizes this, and so has de
clared himself in favor of the re-establishment
of the time-honored republican policy of protec
tion for home markets, home workers and home
interests generally by putting such imposts on
foreign-produced wares as will bring their sell
ing price up to that of the American. That policy
has been and will be salvation for Americans.
It is to be hoped that the Swiss merchants
who are touring America in order to learn bet
ter commercial methods do not fall into the
wrong hands, or their felldw citizens could af
ford to pay them to stay home.
No joy is added to the Jot of those w ho. cross
the toll bridge to know that part of their con
tribution is devoted to convincing them that a
free bridge is not needed.
The proposal for a new coin bearing the
likeness of Theodore Roosevelt is apt to be re
sented as an effort to make, him look like 2 1-2
cents.
In spite of all talk of disarmament, Nebraska
has furnished its customary quota of ybung men
for the military academy at West Point.
Perhaps Babe Ruth, when arrested ' for
speeding up Broadway, was only making an
other home run.
At least the movie men did not make the cus
tomary threat to quit the state if censorship
was applied.
Manufacturer are demanding a tariff on Jap
anese buttons, but thus far no protection has
been demanded by Jhe makers of. buttonholes.
Choice Between Edwards
and Bundy
Why the. One Received antf. the
Other Did Not Get Promotion -
(From tht New York Times.)
Confirmation of President Wilson's list of
brigadiers in the regular army for promotion to
major generals was held up in the closing days
of the last session of congress by Mr. Lodge of
Massachusetts and other New Ens-land senators
because the name of Clarence R. Edwards, com
mander oi the Iwrnty-sixth or Yankee division
in France, was not included. Confirmation of the
list sent in by President Harding is now opposed
by democratic senators because it contains the
name of General Edwards, to make room for
which the name of Omar Bundy. who com
manded the Second (regular) division in France
from October. 1917, to the end of July, 1918, was
removed by the new administration.
General Bundy is an officer of sterling merit,
with a record which show's he has risen through
all grades in the regular army, from second lieu
tenant, without political influence. He is essen
tially a regular, and has always distinguished
himself in theield, in Cuba and the Philippines
as' well as in some of the fiercest fighting in
France during the late war. The feeling in the
army that General Bundy deserves promotion,
and that his name should not have been taken
from the original list, is so strong that the senate
should heed it. Senator New of Indiana, a
republican, has registered a protest, although he
understands that if General Bundy is restored
to the promotion list General Edwards must
wait until there is another vacancy. .
It is not well for the army to have promotions
held up indefinitely, and it is not just to officers
whose merits should be rewarded. Delay in
confirming nominations for major general in this i
case obstructs the promotions of fourteen col
onels to be brigadiers, and the complication does
not end there. The whole line is halted, and,
naturally, there is dissatisfaction in the armv.
There should be no objection to the proino-
uu:i oi, Clarence k. r.awaras it his record in
France was flawless. The order relieving him

SOME RULES FOR PERSONS

cases are sent to the institution in
the country, where they are exam

exercises. I quote a number of
observations nnU opinion made
and held by Dr. Frederick Brush.

Almost no druse are used. The

troops in the states. General Edwards wss or-1 sanitarium is enough to cure an
dined to recommend him for promotion, although
he was senior brigadier, and the secretary, when
urged by New England senators and representa
tives 10 recognize tne general s merits, was ob
durate. The reasons, Mr. Baker said, were to
be found in the records of the War department.
Friends of Clarence R. Edwards in the senate
and his admirers in New England have com
plained that he was the victim of injustice. They
should be the first to demand the production of
the records upon which Secretary Baker based
his action. If an injustice was done General
Edwards', thete should be no question about con
firming the nomination made by President Hard
ing, and it is General Bundy who should wait
for another vacancy. '
The President's Dog
Back in the days when Warren G. Harding
was merely the editor of the Marion Daily St?r
and only an . ultra-optimistic few of his fellow
townsmen expected him ever to become presi
dent of the United States, there was a little dog
who loved this beetle-browed man above' every
other living" thing. This was Hub, a Boston
terrier.'
One day last summer, when "the republican
presidential ; candidate' had been complimented
upon one of his best speeches, he mentioned Hub
and said:
"The best thing I' ever Wrote was an obituary
for my dog. I felt that, and anybody can write
when he Icels very strongly, upon his subject.
Some day I'll find a copy of that tribute to my
dog, and you'll agree with me that it was good."
Recently George Van Fleet, managing editor
of the Star and the sole boss while the owner
is in Washington,' found the obituary of Hub in
the newspaper files and sent a copy to the White
House.. Here it is:
"Edsrewood Hub in the .register, a mark of
his breeding; but to us just Hub, 'a little Boston ,
erner, whose sentient eye mirrored the fidelity
and devotion of his loyal heart. The veterinary
said he was poisoned; perhaps he was. His mute
suffering suggested it. One is reluctant to be
lieve that a human being who claims man's es
tate could be so hateful a cOvvard as to ruth
lessly torture and kill a trusting victim, made
defenseless through his confidence in the human
master, but there are such. One honest look
from Hub's trusting eyes was worth a hundred
lying greetings from such inhuman beings,
though they wear the habiliments of men.
"Perhaps you wouldn't devote these lines to
a dog. But Hub was a Star office visitor nearly
every day of the six years in which he deepened
attachment. He was a grateful and devoted dog,
with a dozen lovable attributes, and it somehow
voices the yearnings of broken companionship
to pay his memory deserved tribute.
"It isn't orthodox to ascribe a soul to a dog.
But Hub was loving and loyal, with the jealousy
that tests its quality. He was reverent, patient,
faithful; he was sympathetic, for no lure could
be devised to call him from the sickbed of mis
tress or master. He minded his own affairs, es
pecially worthy of human emulation, and he
would kill nor wound no living thing. He was
modest and submissive where these were becom
ing, yet he assumed a guardianship of the home
he sentineled, until entry was properly vouched.
He couldn't speak our language, though he some
how understood, but he could be, and was, elo
quent with uttering eye and wagging tail, and
the other expressions of knowing dogs. No,
perhaps he had no soul, but in these things are
the essence of soul and the spirit of lovable life.
"Whether the Creator planned it so or en
vironment and human companionship have made
It so, men may learn richly through the love and
fidelity of a brave and devoted dog. Such loy
alty might easily add luster to a crownvof im
mortality." Kansas City Star.
-. Seven Cycles in Skirts, Too.
Skirts are obviously conforming to the laws
of nature or the superstition of the race and
are now completing the seventh turn of the
cycle. It is demonstrated once more that his
tory repeats itself every seven years.
Turn back the pages of fashion's note book
to 1916 and witness the silhouette. Skirts meas
ured from three to five yards at the hem and
hung from fitted yoke's. They also cleared the
fioor a good eight inches. -
The 1921 skirt beirs ill the ear-marks of the
1916 style, except that it has not reached the
shoe tops, neither is it confined to sloping hips.
The first feature is a possibility, but the latter
will never be again so long as Women know their
own minds. Having once tasted the joy offree-
dom, the hour-glass silhouette stands littlei
chance ot dominating the natural curves of the
bodv.
Another advantage the modern skirt has over
its competitor of seven years ago is the develop
ment of individuality, which makes the field wide
from which to draw inspirations. Pleated,
plain, straight and circular lines are all featured
today, with little preference shown any particular
style. Dry Goods Economist.
Relaxation for Missouri Legislators.
The special session of the legislature is to
be interrupted by the biggest fox hunt ever held
in the state. It will be a real, old-fashioned
chase in the Callaway hills across the river from
the capitol. The legislature will adjourn to
watch the chase. Governor Alf Taylor of Ten

mortal Bob, has been invited to attend. Ashland j

making URe of the treatment they
employ. Neither the Cchott treat
ment nor any 'other kind of baths
or physical therapy is employed.
The average patient who comes to
this Institution has had too much
treatment and has been trying t
live up to a long list of doh'ls.
Xeaiiy all our patients come with
marked disinclination to exercise,
amounting frequently to fear or
obsession. When they are told to
play base ball or hand ball or golf
they are dumfounded. One of the
first things to get rid of is the de-e-nergizing
effects of anxieties, fears
and lack of confidence. Perhaps
piays and games nave Droved more
helpful in treatment than walks be
cause games energize through their
emotional appeal.
The dancing cure lias proved won
derfully effective; so has tennis,
croquet, golf and base ball. When
a heart case is ordered to play ball,
he is put in as a fielder or a first
baseman for a short period. When
he bats somebody runs for him. At
the end of his period he Is ordered
into the grandstand and ordered to
root. If he is not a noisy fan he
does not get all out of It he should.
But the golf course has short holes,
the tennis is made easy, the dancing
rounds are brief. Attendants are
around watchlny for persistent
shortness of wind, uiusual pallor,
red spots on the cheeks, marked,
tiredness and languor, and to count

Caees that have taken eight weeks
of such a course of training and edu
cation can go back to work, but they
should report periodically to their
physicians for observation.

If a free bridgo would bo such a

differently as I believe a larger travel
would go to Council Bluffs. Mnnawa
and surrounding country for picnics,
etc., which now stay on this side
than would come to this side from
Iowa), why not lease, for vehicles,
the present bridge and make It free
for Hint tisllic. It would not rout
