Granite From Which We Were Hewn.
This is the age of great cities, among them,
Omaha.
The story of its building, as told in The Bee
of Sunday was amazing. Old as it is, yet many
who now live and work in this Middle Western
metropolis know little or nothing of the trials
and triumphs by which the early settlers estab
lished it. The men and women of the fifty-year
period which was commemorated as the semi
centennial of The Bee had their vision as we
now possess the reality. The growth and suc
cess of the city they planted in the fertile valley
of the Missouri was a passion with the citizens
of that day. It is welt to search ourselves to
determine if this same ideal yet flourishes in its
pristine strength.
. The city in which .we live is different from
that the early citizens knew. The needs and the
problems are unlike in many respects those
which beset them. Yet it is the same kind of
leadership, the same spirit of devotion and the
same loyalty to the community and the empire
about it that the fifty years now opening will
require.
Hide and Seek 'by Army and Navy.
Not much has been told of the details of the
bombing tests to be conducted by army and
navy flyers this month, and the probabilities are
that not much will be made known to the public
concerning the results. Brigadier General
Mitchell and his associates in the army air serv
ice have roused the ire of the seadogs by claims
that battleships of the current type would be
helpless before explosives dropped from the air,
and the results of these experiments may be mo
mentous in influencing the national program of
preparedness.
The radio controlled, oil burning battleship
Iowa will be turned loose unmanned about 100
miles off the Virginia capes. Blimps and sea
planes will attempt to locate her as she is steered
by a wireless device on a control ship far away.
Then 'dummy bombs will be dropped, it is an-j
nounced.
"When everything on board the Iowa is ready
the main engines will be started up and left run
ning very slowly " Secretary of the Navy Denby
explains. "The ship then will be abandoned and
the officer aboard the controlling ship has con
trol of the Iowa. The first radio signal sent out
s intercepted by the aerial on the Iowa and is
received by the radio device located well below
decks. This signal is then amplified by means
of special vacuum tube amplifiers and is made
to operate a very sensitive relay or switch, which
in turn operates a larger relay. This closes an
electrical circuit which operates an electrically
controlled pneumatic valve. When this valve
opens it admits compressed air to the throttle
jcontrol, which causes the throttle to open and
brings the ship up to full speed."
; Another ingenious mechanism enables the
ship to be steered in any direction; and another
makes it possible to shut off all power and stop
lier. In this test the main, aim is to ascertain the
ability of aviators to locate a ship at sea. Some
indications of a reluctance on the part of the
rtavy to emphasize the possibilities of ships be
ing disabled by explosives dropped from the air
jhas been noted. However, the contest as It
stands contains many sensational features, not
the least interesting of which to a landsman is
the absentee control of a great warship.
Oil's Well That Ends Well.
The spectacle of the United States, with its
home oil fields exhausted and dependent on sup
plies from abroad for its gasoline and fuel oil is
not an appealing one. There is evident a frantic
scramble on the part of England, France and
other European nations to make sure of plenti
ful resources for themselves. The barring of
American oil companies from the British man
datory of Mesopotamia has been one of a num
ber of instances of this conflict, which is more
' a
than merely commercial.
In Persia and Mexico the British government
has invested public funds in the oil business.
Now a similar suggestion is being heard in
America, that the government, either directly or
in co-operation with American capital, develop
Vfevirn Verilv a startlincr proposal
V" . , "
in view of the opposition to public ownership of
all other industries. A more satisfactory way
around this problem would be the discovery of
some new kind of fuel. - Necessity is said to be
the mother of invention, and here is an oppor
tunity for her toacknowkdgeher own.
i The Era of the Engineer.
.V It -was' particularly' fitting that it should be a
a . .ii..!.'.. A.-. it,A en fit m
lawyer wno cauca aiicmiun w uic u? vi
. engineer in public affairs Herbert Hoover is a
type of technical mind particularly fitted to cope
with modern problems of government Those
municipalities which have met the need for ef
ficiency in administering; their affairs by adop
tion of the city manager plan have turned with
astonishing closeness to unanimity to members
of the engineering profession for managers.
George A. Lee, an attorney of Omaha, in
speaking before the American Association of En
gineers, rightly praised them as a constructive
force, "creating wealth, enhancing the comtort,
convenience ana nappmcsx g pur t,iucuauiy,
changing almost the very social, economic and
financial map of the country."
It is in the matter of production that the
engineer means most to the future of the na
tion. Some of them may look for their results
in public service, but more will perform their
exacting and helpful tasks in industry. It is
the engineers who are now overhauling the
whole system of production, seeking out its
wastes and suggesting improvements. To make
it possible to obtain greater benefits and output
from human toil and to put production and con
sumption on a more efficient basis is as great a
service as could be rendered to the world.
Over ahd Over Again.
History is like the handwriting of fate on the
wall to those of evil or unwise disposition, a
warning to them, but a well of hope to those
who bend their efforts toward peaceful and con
structive arrangement of public affairs. After
the Civil war many of the same problems arose
which now face America. The prostrate condi
tion of the southern portion of the nation did
not furnish the only obstacle to prosperity;
throughout the land there was an emergency de
manding a reconstruction of industries, readjust
ment of production and co-ordination of the means
of transportation. The hopeful thing is that out
of the confusion, the wild speculation, the finan
cial depression and the popular restlessness came
a new era in which the United States made
greater strides than at any previous period.
Prices were high, in many instances as high
as after the world war, from the effects of wh'ch
we are now emerging. The currency was in
flated until it becomes necessary for the govern
ment to contract it by retiring large amounts of
legal tender notes, a process which was stopped
abruptly by congress in 1868.
The adventuresome spirit brought into play
by the war encouraged a period in which the
speculative spirit was uppermost. The same
legacy of heavy taxation was inherited from
the war, a burden that was lightened by the scal
ing down of internal revenue collections while
the tariff was retained as a protective measure.
Immigration, which had fallen to about 100,000
Europeans a year during the war, suddenly
leaped to 326,000 by 1868.
"Though the more risky and irregular phases
of national progress were thus very conspicu
ous," says the historian, William A. Dunning,
"the solid basis of prosperity was seen in the
steady and substantial development of estab
lished agricultural and manufacturing enter
prises. The great crops which were the chief
index of economic welfare were in 1867 and 1868
altogether satisfactory in bulk and price." Part
of the problem was made easier by the opening
up of millions of acres of farming land in the
west, an outlet for labor that does not now
exist. Development ' of large scale industry,
which bad been encouraged by war contracts,
was another feature of the time.
Reading over the issues of those days is as if
viewing the problems of our own times. By
courage and industry, nqt without many serious
missteps, sound conditions were brought' back.
The progress toward readjustment was not swift,
there was much unrest, but ultimately the people
won their way through, just as is being done now.
I
The Key of Education.
One . of the dominant questions today is
whether man is to be the master or the victim
of civilization, according to the view expressed
by Dr. Ernest M. Hopkins, president of sedate
old Dartmouth college. "Has man in his indi
vidual capacity explored the realms of science
and appropriated knowledge beyond his capacity
to control the forces he has released or com
bined?" this educator asks. Education, in the
broad sense in which this term is used by H. G.
Wells, raising the intellectual level of the mass
and preparing the minds of whole classes and
nations for common forward action by a train
ing in common ideas, offers safety, he believes.
General Pershing, in a speech at a military
camp in New Jersey lately, spoke of the dis
grace and menace of the lack of proper mental
and physical training in America. A sound mind
in a sound body is an ancient ideal which never
yet has been reached as completely as it should
have been. The general was thinking of pre
paredness for war, and the college president was
thinking of preparedness for peace. Intelligence
is as necessary for the one as for the other, and
perhaps as ignorance and prejudice arc lessened
and a common understanding is secured, train
ing for peace will become more important than
training for war.
Omaha Welcomes Foch.
'. Triumphant in war, Marshal Foch will sur
render to American hospitality on his visit to
America this fall. He comes as the guest of the
Amfriran Lectori, and will attend the national
convention of his comrades-in-arms at Kansas
City. Where else the generalissimo of the al
lied forces will make a sortie is not decided at
this time, but the Aero club and the American
Legion post of Omaha have done well to get
their invitation in early.
Omaha wishes to pay its respects to the
marshal, whose visit to America in some respects
resembles that made by LaFayette after the rev:
olution had been won. Under the plan of unified
command which vanquished the Germans, Foch
was commander of the Yanks, and more than
any other general of the allied forces is entitled
to the wholehearted thanks and admiration of
the people of the United States.
New York has conferred the freedom of the
city on a Venezuelari statesman and now the
question is just what this entitles him to. A
license for jay walking, perhaps; a seat in the
park secure from the police injunction to move
on, or a free drink of city water? Down in
Deshler, Neb., the key of the city, which is given
noted visitors, is a huge wooden affair, to which
is attached one of the whisk brooms for which
the city is famous. Put whisk and key together
and the best of good spirits results.
France is now seeking a trade agreement
with Germany, which has an odd sound after
so much talk of never having any intercourse
with the enemy after the war.
Although there appears to be some difference
of opinion as to why we went to war, no one,
not even Germany, has doubted that the Yanks
went in to fight and to win.

Christopher Morley in "Mince Pie."
I know a man who carries in his left-leg
trouse pocket a large, heavy key ring, on which
there are a dozen or more keys of all shapes and
sizes. There is a latchkey, and the key of his
private office, and the'key of his roll-top desk,
and the key of his safe deposit box, and a key
to the little mail box at the front door of his
flat (he lives in what is known as a pushbutton
apartment house), and a key that does something
to his motor car (not being an automobilist, I
don't know just what), and a key to his locker
at the golf club, and keys of various traveling
bags and trunks and filing cases, and all the
other keys with which a busy man burdens him
self. They make a noble clanking against his
thigh when he walks (he is usually in a hurry),
and he draws them out of his pocket with some
thing of an imposing gesture when he approaches
the ground glass door of his office at ten past
nine every morning. Yet sometimes he takes
them out and looks at them sadly. They are a
mark and symbol of servitude, just as surely as
if they had been heated redhot and branded on
his skin.
Not necessarily an Unhappy servitude, I has
ten to remark, for servitude is not always an
unhappy condition. It may be the happiest of
conditions, and each of those little metal strips
may be regarded as a medal of honor. In fact,
my friend does so regard them. He does not
thir.k of the key of his roll-top desk as a re
minder of hateful tasks that must be done willy
nilly, but rather as an emblem of hard work that
he enjoys and that is worth doing. He does not
think of the latchkey as a mandate that he must
be home by 7 o'clock, rain or shine; nor does he
think of it as a souvenir of the landlord, who
must be infallibly paid on the first of the month
next ensuing. No, he thinks of the latchkey as
a magic wand that admits him to a realm of kind
ness, "whose service is perfect freedom," as say
the fine old words in the prayer book. And he
does not think of his safe deposit box as a hate
ful little casket of leases and life insurance poli
cies and contracts and wills, but rather as the
place where he has put some of his own past life
into voluntary bondage into Liberty Bondage
at four and a quarter per cent. Yet, however
blithely he may psychologize these matters, he is
wise enough to know that he is not a free man.
However content in servitude, he does not blink
the fact that it is servitude. . .
'Upon his will he binds a radiant chain,
said Joyce Kilmer in a fine sonnet. However
radiant, it is still aichain.
So it is that sometimes, in the lulls of tele
phoning and signing contracts and talking to
salesmen and preparing estimates and dictating
letters "that must get off tonight" and trying to
wriggle out of serving on the golf club's house
committee, my friend flings away his cigar, gets
a corncob pipe out of his desk drawer, and con
templates his key ring a trifle wistfully. This
nubby little tyrant that he carries about with
him always makes him think of a river in the far
Canadian north, a river that he visited once, long
ago, before he had built up all the barbed wire
of life about his spirit. It was a green, lucid
river that ran in a purposeful way between long
fringes of pine trees. There were sandy shelves
where he and a fellow canoeist with the good
gift of silence built camp fires and fried bacon,
or fish of their own wooing.. The name of that
little river (his voice grave as he recalls it), was
the Peace; and it was not necessary to paddle it
you didn't feel like it. "The current ran" (it is
pathetic to hear him say it) "from four to seven
miles an hour."
The tobacco smoke sifts and eddies into the
carefully labeled pigeonholes of his desk, and his
stenographer wonders whether she dare inter
rupt him to ask whether that word was "pri
mority" or "minority" in the second paragraph
of the memo to Mr. Ebbsmith. He smells that
bacon again; he remembers stretching out on the
cool sand to watch the dusk seep up from the
valley and flood the great arch of green-blue
sky. He remembers that there were no key
rings in his pocket then, no papers, no letters,
no engagements to meet Mr. Fonseca at a lunch
eon of the Rotary club to discuss demurrage.
He remembers the clear sparkle of the Peace
water in the sunshine, its downward swell and
the slant over many a boulder, its milky vexa
tion where it slid among stones. He remembers
what he had said to himself then, but had since
forgotten, that no matter what wounds and per
plexities the world offers, it also offers a cure of
each one if we know where to seek it.
Suddenly he gets a vision of the whole race
of men, campers out on a swinging ball, broth
ers in the common motherhood of earth. Born
out of the same inexplicable soil, bred to the
same problems of star and wind and sun, what
absurdity of civilization is it that has robbed men
of this sen?e of kinship? W,hy he himself, he
feels, could enter a Bedouin tent or an Eskimo
snow-hunt and find some bond of union with the
inmates. The other night, he reflects, he saw
moving pictures of some Fiji natives, and would
read in their genial, grinning faces the same
human impulses he knew in himself. What have
men done to cheat themselves of the enjoyment
of this sense of kinship? Why,i he himself, he
he cries, to the stenographer's horror.
He thinks of his friends, his partners, his em
ployes, of conductors on trains and waiters in
lunch rooms and drivers of taxicabs. He thinks,
in one amazing flash of realization, of all the men
and' women he has ever seen or heard of how
each one nourishes secretly some little rebel
lion, some dream of a wider, freer life, a life less
1ee mr-an 1c material He thinks
how all men yearn to cross salt water, to scale
peaks, to tramp until weary under a hot sun.
He hears the Peace, in its far northern valley,
brawling among stones, and his heart is very low.
"Mr. Edwards to see you," says the stenog
rapher. "I'm sorry, sir," says Edwards, "but I've had
the offer of another job and I think I shall ac
cept it. It's a good thing for a chap to get a
chance "
My friend slips the key ring back into his
pocket.
"What's this?" he says. "Nonsense! When
you've got a good job, the thing to do is to keep
it. Stick to it, my boy. There's a great future
for you here. Don't get any of those fool ideas
about changing around from one thing to another."
The Book of Nature.
The master and wardens of the Company of
Gardeners, being desirous of continuing their
historical connection with Thomas Fairchild's
lecture, which is delivered annually at Shore
ditch Parish church," attended the service there
when the lecture was delivered by Dean Inge.
Dean Inge said that the lesson of sacrifice
was writ in red. no doubt, upon the book of na
ture. But it did not shriek against the creed of
Christendom; it rather confirmed and illustrated
it. The great lesson of nature was that no man
pr thing liveth for himself. The scheme of things
was not constructed on the basis of justice to in
dividuals. Of all callings the most wholesome and per
haps the happiest were those which kept us close
to Mother Earth, whether the labor was to pro
duce food for man, or to help nature to produce
those beautiful flowers which our Lord loved to
look upon, and those fruits which added to the
innocent pleasures of life. Let none think that
a beautiful garden was a waste of time and
money; that was a sentiment worthy of Judas
Iscariot, who objected to the gift of ointment
made by the woman to Christ. Beautiful things
were worth making for their 6wn sake. God loved
all things bright and beautiful. Our gardens
were full of varieties which human ingenuity had
devised. This, too, was pleasing to God, who
bad ordained that nature was only conquered by
obeying her. and only obeyed by conquering her.

Another View of Ireland.
Sidney, Neb., June 18. To the
Editor of The Bee: Scanning the
pagea of a recent Issue of The Bee
I was attracted by the letter of Mr.
Jerry Howard on "The Condition of
Ireland-" Having been born, and
having lived for over 30 years in
that little Island of shamrocks, lr
reconcllables, and spuds, I waa nat
urally Interested in reading Mr.
Howard's pathetic letter.
Unfortunately, the letter is an ef
fusion of the usual type utterly
one-aided, and characteristic of the
impulsive, emotional Celt, who re
fuses to think deeply and logically,
and who believes everything to be
wrong;, which does not harmonize
wilh his specific views.
Mr. Howard states that England
laid hold of Ireland about 1170 A. D.
Quite so, but he did not say how
that event came about. It was thus:
The then pope, (according to hin
ecclesiastical title, Adrian IV.), was
an Englishman (Nicholas Break
Dpeare), and as such was doubtless
acquainted with the character of tho
Hibernians of his day which was
of the same "twill" as today. Henry
II was then king of England, and
like other sovereigns was anxious
to add to his dominions. Ireland
lay next door, so he applied to
Adrian to assist him in his project.
This the pope did (he also being
desirous of extending his rule). In a
bull to the king, and from which
I take the following excerpts:
"You have signified to us
your desire to enter the Island of
Ireland In order tp bring that peo
ple into subjection to laws and to
exterminate the weeds of vice from
the country."
"We therefore, noting your pious
and laudable desire which it de
serves express our will and
pleasure that in order to check the
spread of vice, to reform the state
of morals, and promote the Incul
cation of virtuous dispositions, you
shall enter that island and execute
therein what shall be for
the welfare of the country; and let
the people of that land receive you
In honorable style, and respect you
as their lord." (Note: There are
some who question the existence of
Adrian's bull, but Dr. P. W. Joyce,
an Irish historian, says, in his "Con
cise History of Ireland," "the evi
dence is overwhelming on the other
side." Also, Rev. Dr. Lanigan, a
Roman Catholic historian, says:
"Never did there exist a more real
or authentic document." And from
those excerpts we learn that Adrian
practically ordered Henry to invade
Ireland: that the people should re
ceive him as "their lord," and that
the inhabitants were living In a con
dition of vice and crime.
That England will ever allow Ire
land absolute independence, is an
Utopian dream. Ireland is a strat
egic point in case of war, and could
readily be the base of attack by an
invader, as was attempted by the
Germans, with the assistance of the
Felners. during the late war. The
'entire history of Ireland shows her
to be incapable of absolute self
government, and the more rational
minds amongst the people recognize
that dominion home rule, as now
established in Ulster province, is
capable of meeting every need. But,
will the southwestern provinces ac
cept it? Probably not.
(IRISH) AMERICAN.
""" Question of Foreign Ixians.
Omaha, June 17. To the Editor
of The Bee; With the most money
per capita we have ever had, we
find today bankers demanding the
highest rate of interest and a short
age of money, which has resulted in
4,000,000 men being out of employ
ment, slack business and failure to
get the profitable trade of which a
large part of the world is begging
us to take. Why are these condi
tions? Are our members of con
gress playing cheap politics at the
expense of the people?
The federal reserve and farm
loan acts were the demands of the
lieople for a greater supply of
money, but even with these two or
ganizations there is much left to
be attained. Lacking gold we are
using credit instruments called
bonds. It is clear that there is not
now and never will be enough gold
in tho world to serve fully our
money needs in spite of the fact that
bond brokers claim America is re
ceiving too much gold when this
government today has $26,000,000,-
000 worth of bonded Indebtedness
payable in gold and only $3,000,000,
000 in gold to pay it with.
The federal reserve board says,
"The United States must buy bonds
Of Germany, absorption of repara
tion bonds is unavoidable to read
justment of trade, and that our mar
ket will be called upon to carry a
substantial share of the necessary
financing growing out of the Ger
man adjustment." Right here, as
an Ame'rican citizen, I declare that
this policy is absolutely wrong and
the American people should not
permit the bond speculators of this
country to place on them any
further burden of taxation by load
ing up with their worthless bonds
or extending them further credit.
Today there is in America over
$600,000,000 in interest bearing cou
pons now six months past due from
the allies. Our past experience
with Belgium and Italy has proved
that they have borrowed American
money and purchased millions of
bushels of Argentine wheat, and are
now asking the American farmer to
extend them more credit so they can
buy his farm products. Statistics
show that we only export 18 per
cent of our crop ahd it would be far
better to give this surplus to the
poor of America than to finance
foreign nations at the expense of
American industry.
Western bankers have furnished
the information that President Mil
ler of the Kansas City Federal Re
serve district, haB exacted as high
as 18 per cent and 20 per cent on
redlscounting paper in tho federal
reserve. At the same time we find
the federal reserve system has a
surplus of over $500,000,000 in un
divided profit. The farmers and the
workers can expeot no relief as long
as the federal reserve bank system
is being manipulated in this manner.
What the farmers should do Is get
together and demand the removal
from office of President Miller and
his kind.
The American people should be
warned against the buying of fore
ign bonds, for every dollar invested
in these bonds is taking that much
money away from American indus
try to help build up foreign indus
try. It is ridiculous to think of
buying German reparation bonds at
95 cents on the dollar when there
is no gold back of them, with Amer-I
lean Liberty bonds selling as low as
$87. It is about time for the Amer
ican people to advise their represent
atives in congress that they will not
stand for America being Jiiade a
dumping ground for any further
foreign loans, and demand that
American industry be furnished
with the necessary funds to give em
ployment to our 4,000,000 unem
ployed, men, and the necessary
money should be taken out of this
surplus of the federal reserve which
would free the American business
man from the beggarly condition he
has been forced into hy this system.

BREAST FEEDING.
Each of the baby foods has some
advantages and some disadvantages.
No food compares with human milk
for the human baby. It is practical
ly free from bacteria, does not con
tain tubercle bacilli or other dis
ease producing bacteria, is always
fresh and of the right temperature,
never spoiled, and comes nearer hav
ing the food elements present in ex
actly the right proportions than does
any other baby food.
The baby who takes It rarely has
diarrhoea, and, if so, it is not seri
ous as a rule.' They have only one
seVenth the death rate of babies
otherwise fed, and their advantage
in the hot months is greater still.
They have far less measles, scarlet
fever, diphtheria, and other conta
gious diseases. The only disadvan
tage is that if the baby cannot get
or take mother's milk because of
diarrhoea, or because the milk dis
agrees, or because of other reasons,
it is difficult to feed the baby.
The advantage to the mother Is
that she ia spared the strain of
nursing her baby through serious
illnesses. Some women fatten and
feel at their best while nursing their
babies. The mother who breast
feeds gets more pleasure from
motherhood and gets a firmer hold
on the affections of her child.
The disadvantages to the child
are few. It keeps the mother at
home. She cannot stay away from
her baby longer than four hours.
This is in part overcome by having
the mother give one artificial feed
ing a day. This permits her to get
away once a clay from six to eight
hours. In many factories where wo
men are employed the mothers are
encouraged to go home once or
twice during the day to breast feed
their babies. Some women find
breast feeding their young babies
at 10, 2, and 6 o'clock and their
older ones at 10 and 6 more trouble
some than getting up. preparing and
heating the babies' bottles. Others
think it less trouble.
Extensive trials made in various
parts of the world show that more
than 95 per cent of the mothers of
young babies can breast feed pro
vided they can and will make that
their principal business.
To do so they must not worry.
They must get plenty of good sleep.
They must not overwork. They
must empty the breasts properly at
regular intervals. As a rule com
plete emptying is advisable even
though each breast is emptied not
cftener than once every eight hours.
Some women fail because of brok
en sleep, others because they are
overworked. The necessity for
working out prevents many women
from breast feeding. Diet is not
much of a factor. A few women
cannot breast feed because they eat
too little, but the number in this
country Is small. As a rule mothers
eat too much. In their desire to
eat enough to furnish milk for the
baby they overeat, cause some de
gree of digestion, or start on the
road to obesity. There are no spe
cial milk producing foods. A diet
composed of good milk, meat,
bread, cereals, soups, vegetables,
and fruits fills all requiremtns.
Closing the breweries will not lessen
the supply of mother's milk.
