Keep Road Control at Home.
- Governor McKelvie is absolutely right when
Tie protests against the enactment of the Town
'send bill, pending in congress, which appropriates
$100,000,000 for the interstate system of public
roads to be built under the direction of a federal
commission salaried at $10,000 a year per member.
Tl..
ine governor, says: ,
- iut )nuniHi iu dmpi idle fiuv,uuu,wu nor
the building o an interstate system of public
roads undoubtedly would . mean the discon
tinuance of federal aid for the general construc
tion of road in the states and would result in
the construction of a very few primary high
. wtys that would serve a relatively small per
centage of the people.
That is the story in a nut-shell. The public
highways should be improved. Gradually, as
funds are available and in those places where the
need is greatest, they should be paved. But the
building of roads is a local problem, with the
stare the largest practical unit of administration,
f he. true worth of improved roads is the economy
Which results in local traffic. Paved highways
.across the continent may be fine for the tourists,
and may bring some returns to cities which bene
fit hy such traffic. But that is a mere bagatelle
compared to the great gains which result from
having well built, well drained, easy graded
highways on which the farmer may haul his
produce to market and by which the small town
may be linked to the nearest jobbing center.
There have been disappointments in the road
building program of recent years. There has
been some waste and there have been some mis
takes. But the remedy does not lie in centraliz
ing this work in a federal bureau at Washington.
It will come from a closer and more watchful
public interest in the work of those public serv
ants which have the matter in charge.
What About Dempsey?
When the newspapers printed pictures of Jack
Dempsey in patent leather shoes and immaculate
overalls working in a shipyard, the jeers that
arose from the army in France could be heard
across 3,000 miles of water. Although acquitted
arter trial as a slacker, the ring champion has
not been able to win back the universal ad
miration of the sporting public. An American
Legion post in California. welcomes Georges Car
pentier, the French contender for the title as a
comrade in arms and wishes him success in the
match of July 2. A copy of this message was
sent also to .Dempsey.
-y Will this antagonism break his spirit? On
the defensive before public opinion, will he also
lack the offensive punchy necessary to victory?
Few will believe that he is a physical coward
and feared to take his chance with the rest of
America's young men in battle. Hfs lack seem,
more to have been in strength of character to"
resist the advice of people who had an Interest
in the profits of his prize fights. In his. defense
It is stated that he did have dependents and
contributed to their support, that he raised thou
sands of dollars for soldiers' funds fey putting on
boxing shows, and that just before the armistice
he had decided to waive exemption, .:.
1 Still, in Carpcntier is to be seen a. .man who
served in the trenches and has a record as fine
in war as in sport. Win or lose, Dempsey wjll
always lack the popularity that made Sullivan,
Corbett and Fitzsimmons the idols of small boys
and the admired of all who take a red-blooded
interest in sport. ' t
Music in the Parks.
' A proposal deserving consideration by the
city council is that prescn'ed' by the City Cpn
cert club for a" summer season of open air concerts.-
The nine free municipal concerts which
were given in the Auditorium during the winter
have made the name and fame of this organiza
tion appreciated. The request is made for an
appropriation of $16,000 or such part as can be
afforded from the city treasury to finance a
series of 80 concerts in the parks, one each night,
and another on Saturday, Sunday and holiday
afternoons.
Popular concerts gfven by musicians of taste
ind ability undoubtedly, would add much, to the
pleasure of Omaha's summer. - It is announced
that if the cityv government does not feel it can
in Justice to other pressing needs expend any
such sum on music, a campaign for private sub
scriptions will be undertaken to make up the
full amount. Omaha ought to have band con
certs in its parks, and it is good to see public
spirited citizens backing such a movement
: Fair Warning to Bureaucrats.
i President, Harding's firm intention to bring
about Y reorganization of government depart
ments, in the interest of businesslike efficiency, is
given further proof by the cabinet order for the
dismissal of government employes who under
take to hamper the' program. ;
The order results from the activity, of various
bureau chiefs who are seeking to save their own
jobs,' even at the expense of the government and
eventually of the taxpayer.; Congress enacted a
bill ; introduced ' in the house by Repre
sentative . Rcavis - of Nebraska, creating a
commission of congressmen and executive heads
empowered to !ivestigate present methods in
governmental departments and recommend
changes. Bureau chiefs, apparently fitting the
shoe to tlicir feet even before it had been de
signed, have fought the plan vigorously. Presi
dent Harding now serves notice that this must
stop. It is an order which the country will ap
plaud. i .
King George's Visit to Ireland.
Unless the royal plans are altered at the last
moment, King George of England will soon en
roll his name along with that of Richard the
Lion-Hearted an dthose other sovereigns who
flourished before knighthood went to seed. That
rather nebulous body known as the Parliament
of North Ireland is to organize in Belfast next
week and to make good on his title of king of
Great Britain and Ireland, George V has an
nounced his intention of voyaging there to open
the sessions in person.
As if to frighten him out of this resolve, Sinn
Fein riots in Belfast have increased in violence
each day for a week. Not all Ulster is out of
sympathy with the movement for independence
and the king will not be entirely among friends.
However, the chances appear good that he will
not run so much peril as appears on the surface.
Lloyd George and not the -king is responsible
for the haidling of the Irish situation. No possi
tde benefit to the Irish people would be gained
by an 'attack on the royal figurehead. It must
be rremembered, too, that for all the confusion
in the island, the revolutionists consider the con
dition to be one of war rather than of riot, and
proceed in general according to the rules. It
is but just to consider that the Irish republicans
are soldiers and not assassins, and to assume
that no harm will come to King George as a
part of any official campaign.

Good old Charley Salter 1
Appointed a city fireman June 1, 1876, Charley
Salter has' completed his forty-fifth year as a
member of the department and is entering upon
his twenty-first year as its chief.
Chief Salter's record has been an enviable
one. Gruff at times, a strict disciplinarian when
discipline is needed, he is known nevertheless in
and out of the department for his kindness of
heart and his strict integrity. "Higher ups" have
come and gone. All have depended on "Charley"
Salter. It is noteworthy that the more freedom
they have given him in,the management of the
department, the more successful have been their
administrations; the more interference, the
greater their difficulties.
If Omaha Is to Expand.
The flood waters sweeping acrbss Nebraska
from Colorado bring a. devastating realization of
the feeble way in which man has met the menace
of such manifestations of the power of nature.
None of this water from the cloudbursts in the
mountains will affect Omaha, but still this local
ity has not taken the steps it should to control
the stream at its doors.
Those citizens who are calling attention to
the need of dikes and breakwaters in the Missouri
river northeast of Florence lake have a vision
of a greater Omaha unhampered by the vagaries
of the stream. The East Omaha drainage project,
could it obtain the backing of public sentiment,
would mean much to Omaha as a manufacturing
center, opening up as it would a large district
particularly suited for the erection of industrial
plants.
The growth of Kansas City, which has the
same body of water to contend with, may be
attributed in large part to the availability of the
bottom Jands for fac tory ,ites. After the great
flood of 1907 dikes were built, not only along
the Kaw, but protecting also a large area now
known as North Kansas City. Behind the safety
of these embankments mills, factories and ware
houses have risen one after another.
, Omaha has reached a size at which similar
expansion must be made possible. Railway
trackage which is denied to all but a small sec
tion of the city proper is right at hand in the
bottoms. The district for which dikes are now
being urged is close to a populous part of the
city, and once the menace of slipping banks and
overflow is removed, would be ideal from every
standpoint for a manufacturing center.
Church's Asset to Omaha.
Everyday religion of a sort that is becoming
more and more of a force in the world Is ex
emplified by the plan of Bishop Homer Stunz for
the establishment of a home for working women.
Omaha, which a few years ago had no place of
this kind, now has a number of well organized,
carefully managed centers for lodging and board
ing young women who are alone in the city,
without family and in need of wholesome social
facilities and surroundings. . .. ,
The proposal of the Methodist churches to
turn Browncll Hall into a nonsectarian home is
equally without aim of profit or savor of charity.
A homelike place within walking distance of tho
office district is to be opened on a self-supporting
basis. Centers of this sort are particularly of
use to those who come to Omaha from the
smaller cities of Nebraska anil Iowa, providing
assurance for parents that their children will be
shielded from much that is sordid and will be
put into touch with others of their kind, together
to find recreation and conquer loneliness.
Those who have pondered on what would
happen if an irresistible force meets an immov
able body have their answer in the result of
three motorists running through a brick fence
the irresistible force went to jail. Which con
firms the contention that such a phenomenon
is unlawful. ' ' ' ' ' ,
The king and queen of England, taking recog
nition of the hard times that prevail there, have
announced their decision to abolish the usual
pomp and court ceremonies for the time, show
ing that Mrs. Grundy is not without influence
even in the highest circles.

The French senator whb asks what punish
ment is going to be awarded the former kaiser
for his crimes against humanity perhaps has
come to believe it unfair to make the German
people bear the entire burden of misrule.
Fact Is sometimes more interesting than fic
tion, and the congressional inquiry on agricul
tural conditions will make interesting reading in
the west.
As the telegraph editor points out, there seems
something significant in Admiral Sims leaving
London by Waterloo station.
No doubt those Oregon cowboys, forced to
herd their cattle from rowboats instead of horse
back, swear like sailors, too.
Was the raid on a base ball pool in Chicago
made by means of the well known police drag
net? .
(Henry T. Fink, in New York Post.)
The good news comes from London that the
waltz, the most fascinating of all dances, is com
ing into vogue again, "much to the delight of
the mothers." While the one-step and fox trot
still hold their own, every third dance at im
portant balls is now a waltz. The Prince of
Wales is held largely responsible for this wel
come revival of what was for more than a cen
tury the most popular ot dances throughout the
civilized world.
In New York also the revival is in full swing,
particularly at gatherings of the more refined
people in large halls where there is plenty of
room for the waltzcrs. Were it not for lack of
room in the smaller public halls the waltz, thus
started anew, would probably soon sweep away,
as it did once before, nearly all other forms of
terpsichorean sport. . ,
Why did the waltz triumph'' over the other
dances r Why did it become the dance of dances,
the modern dance par excellence? Because it is
the declaration of independence of the young.
It is the rapturous dance in which the young
people find an embodiment of the glowing pas
sion of love, whereas in the old-fashioned dances
'the minuet at their head it was the old people
and the chaperons who did the stiff and formal
dancing in slow and stately movement.
Naturally, the older generation resented being
thus shelved, and a great cry was raised agianst
the "disgusting" innovation so "destitute of
grace, delicacy and propriety." Lord Byron
paradoxically led the attack. How stupid it was,
at least from the present day. point of view, may
oe seen Dy me iact mat, as just seated, ane wauz
has been revived, "much to the delight of the
mothers." - .
Did Byron invent the story of the girl who
was asked after her first waltz how she liked it
and who answered, "Oh, I didn't care much for
the music, but the hugging was heavenly?"
As a dance the waltz, may have originated in
France, but musically it is a creation of the near
French-Viennese, and it was a composer of the
first rank, Franz Schubert, who started the new
era. Mozart and Beethoven had written a few
waltzlike pieces, but these in the. words of Dr.
Hanslick (who wrote a history of music in
Vienna), were "astonishingly dry and insignifi
cant." It remained for Schubert to first infuse
true musical genius into this form of composi
tion. Schubert is the real originator of the modern
waltz. At the musical and social gatherings
known as "Schubertiads" ladies were occasion
ally invited and there was dancing as well as
singing. Schubert himself sat at the piano im
provising those lovely waltzes and other dance
pieces, of which many were afterwards written
down by him. One evening a policeman entered
and commanded the dancing to stop because it
was Lent greatly to. the annoyance of Schubert,
who exclaimed: "They do that just to spite me,
because they know how I love to improvise
dance music." ,
Schubert, I repeat, was the real originator
of the waltz, as he was of the art song (Lied)
and the song for the piano, afterwards exploited
by Mendelssohn as the song Without Words.
In the Peters edition there is. besides a volume
of Schubert's Marches (gloriously inspired) and
one of Polonaises, one of his dances (seventy-
four pages) mostly waltzes, valses nobles.
and "valses sentimentales." No. 13 of the last is
that most exquisite piece which Liszt has made
such ravishing use of in his "Soirees de Vienne,"
and which may be regarded as the predecessor
and the equal of the noble waltzes of Chopin,
Rubinstein, Brahms and other modern compos
ers. Indeed, those Schubert waltzes contain the
germs of most of the later developments of the
waltz for the piano. J
Johann Strauss Waltzes.
It is a nity that Schubert did not write some
of his waltzes for orchestra, for he was a con
summate master of orchestration. He left that
noble and agreeable task to Johann Strauss,
father and son. For the first time people came
to cafes and dance halls to listen to the music
for its own sake, instead of regarding it merely
as an aid to conversation and dancing. Great
composers like Cherubini, Meyerbeer, and Men
delssohn recognized the artistic merit of the
Strauss waltzes. Richard Wagner was en
chanted with their "grace, refinement and real
musical substance," and Brahms, you will re
member, transferred the opening bars of the
"Blue Danube" waltz to Mrs. Strauss' fan and
wrote under it: "Not, alas, by Brahms."
It was my good . fortune, 40 years ago, to
spend a year in Vienna at the time when Johann
Strauss, jr., Suppe. Milloecker and others vied
with one another in turning out waltzes alone
or as numbers in their delightful operaettas
each of which waltzes, a few days after its ap
pearance, created a state of delirious excitement
ail over town. You couldn't go anywhere with
out hearing them. I had never learned to dance,
but before I had been in this "semi-Asiatic city"
(as Wagner called it) a fortnight, I began my
lessons in waltzing and soon spertt whole nights
dancing. You simply couldn't get away from it.
I noticed in Vienna that when conductors,
players and dancers were simultaneously en
tranced by the intoxicating Strauss music, there
was a slight tendency on the part of the couples
to yield to the. rubato, or capricious coquetry of
movement, which is natural to his music. Such
rubato, dancing raises that art itself to a poetic
height; but it is perhaps vain to hope for it out-
The younger Johann Strauss' greatest
achievement an epoch-making deed was .that,
while contributing the best of all waltzes to the
dance halls, he at the same time ennobled these
waltzes by introducing emotional features which
fitted them for the concert halls. . He did this bv
elaborating the slow, amorous introduction as
well as the coda, in which all the themes of the
preceding numbers are once more heard ingen
iously developed or combined. There are themes
which delightfully foreshadow the waltz melody
in a dreamy, passionate or tender manner, as if
interpreting the thoughts of the young lovers
who are perchance looking forward to their first
embrace in the disquise of a waltz.
. Imparadised Lovers. '
As he thus expresses in his music the feelings
of the lovers as they are whirled along "impara
dised in one another's arms" thus the pious Mil
ton wrote it), his harmonies become more and
more piquant and novel, his , instrumentation
more tender, refined, voluptuous. Berlioz him
self, in orchestrating Weber's superb "Invitation
to the Dance," has not shown greater genius for
orchestration than Strauss the. younger in his
later waltzes. It might be said that whereas
Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven built up the
symphony from dance forms, Strauss, converse
ly applied the symphonic resources of the
orchestra to his dance pieces. That was doing
one of the greatest deeds recorded in musical
history.
What we can do elsewhere is to appreciate
the genius of Johann Strauss as one of the great
est and most emotional melodists, the perfecter
of the orchestral waltz. Time and again I have
pleaded in this journal for Strauss waltzes at
orchestral concerts. If I had my way one of
these enchanting things would be played at the
end of every program. It would mean an ir
resistible "come again" for most, of the hearers.
There are other fine waltzes besides Strauss'.
Victor Herbert's "Kiss Me Again," for instance,
from his operetta "Mile. Modiste," which equals
Strauss at his best. Theodore Thomas often
played waltzes at his orchestral concerts. They
helped to create symphonic audiences.
Let me record, in conclusion, la very sugges
tive fact. I know a boy of 6 who for four years has
been running his own Victrola. Hundreds of
times he has thus heard a hundred pieces of all
kinds; but when he hums a melody to himself
it is, nine times out of 10, a Strauss waltz I I
regard this as one of the most important music
pedagogic discoveries ever made.
Parents, I say, if you want your children to
become really musical, buy them phonograph
records of the Strauss waltzes, .
Protests Juvenile Court Decision.
Omaha,. June 15. To the Editor
ot The Bee: This Is an open letter
to Judge Sears of the Juvenile court.
There appeared in The Omaha
Evening Bee. Saturday, June 11,
column 2, under the caption, "White
Children Must Quit Mother Married
to Negro." We would like to know
from what grounds of common sense
or law Judge Scars based his de
cision on. '
- If any man marries a woman, Is
It not lawful that the children,
whether they be black, white or
red, become the children by law of
both of the contracting parties?
To my way. of thinking, there was
but one question for tho judge to
pass on, and that was: Was the
mother married to this man, Ell
Creighton? If tho state, or any
state, gave him license to marry,
then all other questions as to their
future family were forever settled.
The statements of this step-father
are believed by the court, that this
man found this poor, woman and her
children on the verge of starvation
and freezing to death. Why is It
that tho gossiping public did not
help save this woman from being
under eternal obligation to this ne
gro man ior saving their lives?
As soon as shoes were put on their
feet, clothes on their backs and their
stomachs filled, then cruel, wicked,
unhuman gossip with its sting of
poison starts its hellish work. The
judge makes tho admission that he
had no doubt as to Creighton being
a better man than lots of white men,
but added: "There Is a chasm be
tween -the white and black folks
which neither you nor-1 can bridge."
This is rich. A judge of law to deal
out Justice to all men to tho best of
his knowledge. Yet ho decides this1
case upon the basis of public preju
dice, and such decision as this is
capable of bringing about greater
disrespect for law and order. It Is
cnpable of reproducing the satanlc
spirit of September, 1919.
There Is a chasm between the
holdup and his victim and by Judge
Sears' rule of reasoning because of
this chasm, In court, the victim
must give whatever he has left be
cause of this chasm.
For God's sake, give us some
common sense interpretation of the
law. And not settle any case by, or
according to. race prejudice.-

Quiet Answer of a Loyal Citizen.
Omaha, June 14. To the Editor
of The Bee: It is not unpopular
to be an American citizen but It is
unpopular to be kaiseristic Ameri
can. It is about time that some peo
ple realized that the war is over.
The headquarters of this kaiserdom
seems to be Lincoln. Prohibition
of foreign languages, prohibition of
anything foreign, prohibition of
strike picketing, everything ver
boten In exact kaiser style. To call
oneself a foreigner is equivalent to
waving a red flag to a bull.
However, before a statement is
judged, the motive or intention of
the speaker should be Considered.
When I signed myself "A Bohemian,"
I meant of Bohemian extraction of
parentage.
As I was born in the United States
(Omaha, Neb.), I am privileged to
call myself American, which is more
than Hear Admiral Sims can call
himself as he was born In Canada.
I will compare my war record with
anyone, doing all I could possibly
do. having 18 months' service, was
not drafted, waivetl all exemption.
If I signed myself an American a
thousand times and was not one at
heart I would not be one.
When Christ said, "Woe to you
scandalizers" He meant' it. It ia
because Rear Admiral Sims waa
slandering people that a good many
rebelled against It. But as Rear
Admiral Sims himself said, accord
ing to the New York Times, "that
he spoke In excess of the truth,"
would accept his apology and there
fore will retract everything I said of
him. AN AMERICAN.

needless to say, we are not dis

its own newspaper to record- local

school paper concerns school hap

as for the writing of headlines, is
not the ability to express an idea
concisely an asset to anyone, no mat

President Harding got his start in
newspaper work by editing a school
paper.
You say that newspaper people
should have a grasp on history,

list of students who are enrolled for
the journalism class. You will be

BABY CARE ABROAD.
Our mothers born abroad and
they make up a large part, perhaps
a majority, of our mothers are in
terested in knowing what Is being
done for babies In the lands from
whence they came. The Internation
al Red Cross has made the informa
tion available as to breast feeding.
In France, under the Strauss law,
mothers get a benefit which runs
from 10 cents to 40 cents a day. If
a mother breast-feeds she Is entitled
to 10 cents extra.
In Cuba they have a national ba
bv contest with three official prizes
of $500, $300 and $200. It is open
only to breast-fed babies.
In Germany there is an allowance
to mothers who breast-feed. Toward
this allowance the national govern
ment pays one-third, the state one
third and the city one-third.
In Switzerland there is a money
allowance. In Norway and Great
Britain the governments do all they
can to encourage it, but no monetary
allowance is made.
In Argentina. Brazil, Japan, New
Zealand, South Africa and Spain
private societies are active in en
couraging breast feeding.
In Greece the custom is almost
universal as to wet nurses. In Ar
gentina and Cuba, wet nurses are
registered. In Japan, Spain and
Czecho-Slovakia the government
sanctions and encourages wet
nurses. In Prague they aro given
free milk.
As to the control of cow's milk:
In Germany the milk inspection is
regarded as thorough. All milk for
sale is previously pasteurized.
In Great Britain the milk is in
spected and graded. The local
milk ordinances generally are in
conformity with a standard ordi
nance drawn by the ministry of
health. Communities distribute
free a great deal of milk, some of
which is liquid milk and some dry
milk. -
In Greece the cows are tuberculin
tested and the dairies are inspected.
In Japan the cows are tuberculin
tested and the dairies are inspected.
In New Zealand the inspection of
farms, dairies and milk depots in
towns is said to be execeptionally
thorough. In the city of Wellington
the milk- supply is municipalized.
All market milk is pasteurized.
In Norway all local health laws
must be approved by the central
government. Some of them deal
with milk. In Spain milk is regu
lated by municipal laws, and these
are , not uniform.
Dr. L. M. Potter expresses a re
gret that not all countries are rep
resented in her report, but the in
quiry went to every government, and
those not represented failed to reply.
We wonder that there is no informa
tion from the great dairy region
embraced in Holland and Denmark.
They must have good laws, properly
administered. We are sorry there
Is no information available for the
American mothers of Italian birth
and parentage.
We owe much to our mother of
Bohemian birth. Had it not been
for their custom of heating all milk
before using it we would have been
much slower in getting the pas
teurization ordinances which have
done so much to cut down our baby
death rates and to .wipe out milk
borne infectious diseases. But Jugo
slavia is scarcely on its feet and not
yet ready to tell the world much
about how it la doing things.
Our mothers of Swedish birth
manage somahow to keep their ba
bies exceptionally healthy. We ar
sorry that the report gives us no in
formation as to what is done for
babies there.
