Concessions on Freight Rates.
Transcontinental lints liavc accepted the fact
that water competition must be met, and that
inland points must have some benefit from the
existence of the canal, and consequently ask per
mission to make a r0 per cent reduction in certain
commodity rates. Classifications mentioned in
the dispatches from Chicago, where the an
nouncement was made, includ a number of ar
ticles of common use, and on which existing
rates are all but prohibitively high. If the re
duced freight tariffs find reflection, as they
should, in retail prices the cost of living will be
materially reduced in the central portion of the
country.
When charges for the long haul have been
properly adjusted,, the shorthauls.will come in
for consideration. They have been proportion
stely increased, and are correspondingly out of
line. Jacking up prices without regard to con
sequences has had the effect that was foreseen
from the beginning by those who took the
trouble to look into the matter. An era of un
wise and even reckless expansion brought about
a situation that .could not endure, but the way
back to normalcy in business is not so pleasant
to travel as was the upward route. Big busi
ness men long ago recognized the signs, and
began to make preparation for the inevitable.
Contraction of credits, and consequently of credit
currency set in last fall, and has steadily
proceeded. Dealers are wary about purchases,
and sellers are equally chary, because the falling
market affects all. When railroad rates were
given the great uptilt the first effect was to put
a damper on the movement to recovery, be
cause it checked suddenly the slight current of
business.
With rates readjusted to conform to the ten
dency of prices, it is not unreasonable to look
ahead to a real revival of activity, and the sum
mer months will almost certainly briog new life
to- enterprise. Word from Nebraska farms is
most encouraging, and in general there is promise
of plenty of tonnage for the carriers, if they
only accept a rate at which the business can be
moved. The labor board signifies a scaling of
wages to become effective July 1, and with re
tailers following the lead of jobbers and whole
salers and revising prices downward, the railroad
managers have no longer any place to shift
responsibility, and so accord the relief, that can
not be postponed.
Stability is not yet attained, but the. trimming
process is going on steadily and rapidly, with
the prospect that by fall business will be on an
even keel again and the voyage may be resumed
with confidence by all. Some peaks still project,
but they will be much lower within another
sixty days.
Extra-Illustrating the Wage Hearing.
, The pay-rolls ought to be' the best evidence
of wages paid by the railroads, but these have
not as yet been submitted. Magnates who ap
pear" before the senate committee come equipped
with certain cases calculated to illumine the point
they try to make. One of the latest of these is
afforded by Howard Elliott of the Northern Pa
cific, who takes the case of certain Italian boiler
inspectors at a New England terminal; These
were increased under a classification that lifted
them from the status of laborers to that of
boilermakers from an hourly wage of 22 to 85
cents, and Mr. Elliott says that on a 10-hour
asis they were enabled to draw $89 a week.
If the latter figure is correct, then these men had
V put in 92 hours a week, being paid for all
over 70 at the rate of price and a half per hour.
Two things are apparent here; the rate of 22
tents an hour is too low pay for men who are
entrusted with the important duty of inspecting
locomotive "front ends," and 13 hours a day
rtd seven days a. week is too long to require
wen to work. Four hundred per cent is per
haps too big a jump in wages, and deserves- to
Ve corrected, but the suggested remedy is too
irastic. Debate on the railroad wage issue is
tot helped by citation of these extreme cases,
any more than is the whole situation benefited
by pointing out individual instances of profiteer
ing in other lines. Effort should be directed to
establish a relation resting on justice, and
not on what prevailed in a day that will never
return.
Improve the Farmer's Credit.
It is business as usual on the farm. That
is proved by the survey of agricultural condi
tions in Nebraska .made by The Bee with the
assistance of the county agents of the state. The
men who produce the greater part of the wealth
of Nebraska are carrying on in spite of all the
discouragements that have been heaped upon
them.
It is business as, usual, in the sense of dig
ging away at the task of producing food, but in
some ways there is a touch of the unusual about
it -There has been no lessening of production
except insofar as lack of labor or .credit has
forced limitation. The crops look good, and no
foe is going to starve. An increase in dairying
Is resulting from the unfavorable result of de
pendence on grain crops alone. Cattle feed lots
arc largely deserted because of the unfavorable
prices paid by the packers, together with the
lack of credit. This same inability to finance
has resulted also in fewer cattle on the ranges.
One conclusion is becoming apparent, loom-
ing up as a menace that must be removed. This
is that the banking system of the nation is
better adjusted for helping commercial lines
than for assisting agriculture. Thus, when loans
to stockmen should have been expanded for the
sake of production, they were contracted.
Money has been hard to get even to carry on
the necessary functions of farming, and interest
rates have been high. Under the direction of
President Harding the Federal Reserve board is
now at work on a more liberal credit program.
Governor Harding of the board is now visiting
in the middle west to ascertain just what is
needed and what can be done. He should have
made this investigation months ago, but it is
better late than never.
Poland as a Danger Spot.
Consternation is reported to exist in Poland
-over a threatened invasion of Silesia and possi
bly of Poland by the Germans. A demand is
made for immediate action by the Allies to pre
vent what may easily become a serious situation.
Until the commission now at work has made its
report, and the supreme council has taken action,
the fate of Silesia is undetermined. On the basis
of the plebiscite, the region belongs to Ger
many, and that is very likely what will be de
cided, unless it be established that the election
Was unfair. Then the council will prescribe what
further steps are to be taken.
Poland has shown a peculiar course through
the entire affair. That nation was revived as a
result of the war, not through its own action,
but by reason of the generosity of the Allies and
the United States. As pointed out by Lloyd
George in his speech, Poles did not fight for the
liberation of Poland; some were in the Russian
army, and others were on the side of Germany,
but none of them aided in bringing new life to
their own land. Unfortunately, since the nation
was revived, its record has been one of annoy
ance, when not of defiance, to the powers that
set it on its feet and have aided in maintaining
its life. The Korfanty revolt in Silesia is but
the latest of these unruly manifestations.
Discussing the responsibilities of the nations
signatory to the Treaty of Versailles, the Balti
more American says unless the provisions laid
down in that faulty document are carried out,
anarchy must result and there will be no peace
for the United States'. That paper goes on:
In the matter of Silesia both the British and
the French are profuse in their contention that
they arc living up to the treaty, but it appears
to us that Lloyd George's way of doing this
"is a better way, a sounder and a far less ques
tionable way than that of Briand. The ques
tion of Silesia may be of only secondary im
portance to ourselves, but the question of the
faithful observance of the treaty, with which
is bound up the whole future of the world, is '
one that touches us most directly.
Unless whatever of faith there is in the treaty
be kept, Germany can not be held to the mark,
save by the expedient of "sanctions," and these
will lead to utter confusion. Poland is, indeed,
the naughty child of the treaty breaking china,
not only on the shelves of Europe, but in every
pantry of the world. Delay in putting a stop
to the fantastic pranks of those national zealots
will be costly to everybody.
The Case of the South
Following Strange Paths Has
Led People Into a Morass
Why a "Christian" Newspaper Failed.
A Chicago minister, wiser than his genera
tion, has given his local brethren some informa-,
tion with regard to the newspaper business that
it would be well for all to understand. Referring
to the failure of a so-called "Christian" daily
newspaper, he explains that it was "doomed, to
failure because it is an effort to go into the busi
ness game without being willing to abide by the
rules of .business, and because the public is not
in a Sunday mood when it buys a daily paper."
Two of the prime factors in the publishing
game are here shown. To succeed in business,
the publisher must play the game according to
the rules. He is confronted from the outset by
the fiercest of competition, and only as he has
the ability to meet and outstrip that competi
tion is it possible for him to make headway. A
paper must be saleable, and to sell it must be
attractive in appearance and content. Permaneffcy
demands that it enter the homes of its readers,
and to get into the American home it must be
fit to go there. t Many minds must be touched,
Sixty thousand copies of The Bee are delivered
to subscribers every day, and each of these is
read by at least two persons, a daily congrega-.
tion far greater than the most popular of preach
ers reaches in a year of pulpit oratory. Unless
the paper contains some appeal to each of these
myriad of minds, it will not hold them.
Therefore, the daily newspaper is required
to treat of many topics always in an entertaining
way, devoting some portion of its space to. the
serious things of life, giving sound and gracious
advice and direction, that the public thought
may be kept clean and wholesome. But the pub
lic is not in a "Sunday mood" when it buys its
daily newspaper, and it is no reflection on the
morals or taste of the. American people that a
"Christian" daily could not make headway.
Playgrounds Under Welfare Board.
A disposition is manifest by the new city
commission to do away with the so-called
recrfation board, and assign whatever of duties
were under its control to the welfare board. Pos
sibly this may be done without hardship to any
body, and without diminishing the reasonable
care of the city for the playgrounds. Proper
oversight of the parks and recreation centers
is necessary. Omaha is fairly well provided with
these places for the youngsters of all sizes, and
they have been well managed on the whole.
Supervision is essential, that order . and safety
may be part of the proceedings. A separate
branch of the government charged solely with
this does not seem necessary, especially as paid
monitors are in charge" at each of the play
grounds. Direction of these- may well be left
to the welfare board, whose activities are quite
as appropriate to the conduct of playgrounds as
of regulation of dance halls.
The sales tax plan may be abandoned, but
Uncle Sam will have to get the money from
somebody.
With Mrs. Stillman and Clara Smith Hamon
both in the movies, next winter's releases ought
to go big.
A lot of people in this world are living on
less than $500 a month and keeping comfortable
at that.
Omaha will remember Dr. Edwards as ' a
health comissioncr who tried to do his duty.
If horses are all that is needed, King Ak's

(From the Baltimore American.)
Sydney J. Catts, erstwhile governor of Flor
ida, is in bad with a couple of grand juries in
his state for alleged bribe-taking and peonage
while he held executive office. Mr. Catts is a
minister of the gospel and he was elected to the
chief state office in Florida on his personal ap
peal to the voters. The democratic party, usually
supreme in Florida politics, lost out in the elec
tion to this itinerant spellbinder whose knowl
edge of the science of government was about as
keen as an Eskimo's knowledge of equatorial
conditions. Mr. Catts had a rough term as gov
ernor and finally landed in the legal net. The
officers of the law arc having a job of it to lo
cate him and federal warrants have been issued
for his arrest. Of course, it may turn out. that
Mr. Catts was merely more ignorant than guilty
as far as the serious charges against him go.
The trial, if he is found, will determine the ex
tent of his alleged criminality.
But the troubles of Mr. Catts are illustrative
of the strange paths followed by the south as
a whole in governmental matters in the last gen
eration. That section of the country, once noted
as the chief source of administrative intellect,
has delivered itself by and large into the hands
of the mental bolsheviks. In Florida Mr. Catts
rampaged around while the citizenry stood open
mouthed in wonder. In Georgia Tom Watson,
populist-pharisee, copied the same game and
won it. In South Carolina Blease, jchu of the
hill-billies, played circus and got the executive
mansion.
In Virginia for fifteen years a politico
religious has been running things to suit itself
and the result has been the disbarment from
public office of men of capability. Westmore
land Davis, a man of fair promise, was elected
governor through a split over the fleshpots
among the heavenly element, but his day of
doom is near; in the coming election Virginia
has the choice between an ancient fellow, whose
chief ambition is to have his name go down as
governor of Virginia, and a young hopeful of
unimpeachable morals from the mountain sec
tion. The latter will likely win, since he has the
better God-fearing reputation of the two. Carter
Glass is an outstanding man, but he made his
mark before the present crowd came into con
trol. Texas sent the sweet-visioned Mr. Sheppard
to the senate and his moral speeches have been
his chief contribution to the cause of progress.
The exceptions which prove the rule are Alan
bam a, which hung on to Underwood, one of the
ablest men of the day, and Mississippi, which'
"canned" Vardaman and supported John Sharp
Williams. Arkansas and North Carolina have
done neither bad nor 'good, though apparently
they have failed to sink into the extreme intel
lectual depressions politically characteristic of
some of their sister states.
A part of this political debacle in the south
is due to the severe and long-continued after
effects ot the civil war, which forced the south
to let education go largely by the board. The
educational efforts all through that section are
gradually picking up now and an improvement
ought to come within the next few years. In
deed, an improvement is noticeable in spots
already. But the lack of education in itself is
not the whole story. Before the civil war, when
democracy was not so prominent in the best so
ciety as it is today, the bigger men throughout
the south ran its politics. lhe so-called hoi
polloi stood aside and listened to their "betters'
and voted as they were advised. But demoo
racy, the great leveler. changed all that.. The
war shattered the real aristocratic element in
the south and left the fate of the section in the
hands of whomever could grab control. Every-
Dody Degan to run amuck; it was very .much a
case of "first come, first served." Finally, in
many states, various anions the ministry who
yearned lor political power began to take, hold
of the reins. They managed to convince-the
majority that the real test of a man's capability
was measured in the extent of his horror of sin:
sin being whatever happened to be enjoyable to
tne. unchurched. ihese religio-political en
thusiasts were hard workmen. Thev welded

tions wiiicri voted in a body, while the opposi-

tion, uniea ana ingntenea, succumbed. ;
That sort of business has been eoins- from
bad to worse and is doing the same thing still
in spots. In other spots there are signs of un
rest, ot weariness in obeying the bunkumites.
Until the south as a whole throws its bondsmen
out doors and looks for leadership measured by
intelligence it will never assume its proper pro
portionate influence in the councils of the nation.

DETECTING PYLORIC
STENOSIS.
"What is the cause," Mrs. A. E.
B. writes, "of pyloric adenosis In an
infant of 5 weeks? Is the child born
with It? If so, why does it not
show up before the fifth week? Is
operation the only cure? Can the
presence of pyloric stenosis be de
tected by X-ray examination?
"I think more publicity should be
given to the symptoms of pyloric
stenosis in infants. No medical books
I have' read make mention f It as
a cause of vomiting."
I agree with you that the symp
toms of pyloric stenosis should bo
better known. Doubtless some
babies die who could bn saved if the
symptoms which suggest this diseaso
were recognized promptly and acted
upon at -'the proper time.
In pyloric stenosis ,the ring- of
muscle which shuts off the paHsage
from the stomach to the intestine is
thickened. It may be thick enough
to form a marble sized tumor. That
tumor can "be felt in the abdomen
above vth navel and to, the right
of it. This muscle Is not only large
but it is irritable, and in consequence
when food enters the stomach It
claps down spasmodically and not
only shuts off the opening into the
intestine, but It starts wrong way
muscle waves which usually throw
the food out of the stomach, or in
other words, cause vomiting.
Now, vomiting is the long suit of
almost every baby. When his stom
ach is overfilled up comes the excess.
Therefore, mothers are not disturbed
by habitual spitting up and they
should not be. But the vomiting
of congenital pyloric stenosis is a
different matter.
All the food comes up rather
promptly. If the child is given wa
ter, that comes up. ton, If the ab
domen is bared, wrong way muscle
waves can sometimes be seen or felt
and in many cases the little tumor
can be made out with the hand. The
vomiting is something more than
a spitting up, even, more than an
ordinary vomiting. It appears that
the stomach forces the food up with
some force.
Whenever a child gets any bowel
trouble it Is apt to have fever, vomit
ing and diarrhea. Children with con
genital pyloric stenosis vomit as If
they were quite sick, but they have
no fever and no diarrhea. Any young
baby with no diarrhea and no con
siderable fever should be suspected
of having pyloric stenosis.
Presently the child with pyloric
stenosis begins to waste away from
starvation. v Even then it does not
have the facial expression of a very
sick child, as it would have were it
being food poisoned. Long before
the facial expression of great weak
ness, due to starvation, has appeared
congenital stenosis should have been
suspected and its presence confirmed
by observing the type of vomiting,
the relation of onset to the taking
of food, the waves of griping without
pain In the upper abdomen, the
tumor, "the absence of diarrhea.
X-ray examination and the ex
amination with the duodenal tube
clirtches the diagnosis. In some cases
It is possible to make a diagnosis
right away. In others some day or
even weeks of observation are re
Quired for diagnosis.

Proper -Treatment Helps.
A. M. writes: Can a girl of
17 be cured of leakage of the heart
and acidosis?
"2. Is there a remedy for either?
If so, what should be done?
"3. If acidosis can be cured by
diet, what should the diet be?
"4. I am 5 feet 4 inches tall. How-
much should I weigh?"
REPLY.
1. 'If the leakage of the heart is
due to a deformed heart valve she
cannot bo cured of that,, but the
heart muscle can be put In oompen
sution, whereupon the symptoms will
disappear. Most cages of acidosis
can bo cured.
2. For heart trouble regulation of
exercise and work, medical control,
digitalis properly used. For acidosis
change of diet.
3. As a rule case's of acidosis do
best when eating no fat, but living
principally on bread, cereals, sweets,
vegetables, and fruits.
4. A 17-year-old girl 6 feet
inches tall should weigh 120 pounds.
Irritating to Stomach.
H. R. M. writes: "It might, be
ol interest to the public, to be ad
vised if the peel of the orange con
tains any ingredients Injurious to
health. It is a general opinion that
one should not eat that portion of
the orange."
REPLY.
It contains considerable essential
oil and this is somewhat irritating
to the stomach. Therefore, eating
orange peel belongs in the same class
with eating pepper, mustard, catsup,
pickles. All highly flavored condi
ments aro somewhat trying on the
stomach.
