Can't Wait for a Boom.
With proper economies and the return of
normal business conditions railroads could lower
rates and still earn 6 per cent on their capitali
zation, according to S, Davies Warfield, presi
dent of the National Association of Railroad
Securities Holders. "The question for the mo
ment is," h told the senate interstate commerce
commission, "can sufficient revenue be obtained
from rates and fares that will be considered
reasonable by the public and the shippers, and
will these rates bear a relation to the price
obtainable for the articles transported that will
not impede commerce; or will part of the money
required to meet the necessities of transporta
tion have to be supplied in the public interest
by taxation?"
A neater summing up of the railroad situation
it would be hard to find. If a government sub
sidy is required, this would mean government
operation and ultimately public ownership, and
Mr, Warfield is not alone in wishing to avoid
this contingency. The one' central fact is that
railroad rates must come down. The spokesman
of the stockholder is not convinced that the
contemplated reduction in wages will enable the
railroads entirely to satisfy the demand for
lower rates, but surely the public and the work
ers cannot be expected to bear the burden alone.
Lower freight rates would do more to encourage
business recovery than any one other thing. If
transportation is to contribute its part, it should
not wait for a boom, but should make the first
move.
' Watch the Skies Tonight.
Admiration and not fear is the proper emo
tion in. the event of a shower of meteors in the
sky tonight The Pons-Winnecke comet passed
, close to the earth's orbit two weeks ago and
may licve left some cosmic dust in its trial. As
astronomers measure distances, that is, the
comet came close just 10,000,000 miles away
from t ie earth, Although the wanderer has now
passcJ far beyond this, the earth tonight will
enter the spacial region lately so nearly touched
by the comet.
The meteoric matter which has been cast
off from the main body may or may not have
swarmed across the world's path. In the one
case, these particles, traveing at a speed of 45
miles a second, will be instantly burned up
when they rush into the band of atmosphere
which surrounds our planet. A rain of shooting
stars, falling in long lines of fire, with dazzling
globes of light going off in unheard explosions,
is a beautiful phenomenon. Too bad that this
could not have been arranged for the Fourth
of July.
Living to Be a Thousand.
Three score and ten is all too short, says
Bernard Shaw, who has written a new booktof
plays called "Back to Methusaleh." Men da
not live long enough really to begin to think,
he says. Just as they show promise of. hitting a
good mental stride, death comes to end it all
and a fresh generation has to start in at the be
ginning, work toward knowledge and then itself
be removed from earthly activity.
"Back to Methusaleh," he urges make the
normal life a thousand years so there may be
some continuity of progress. No one since primi
tive times has lived long enough to learn how
to govern the world in the interests of man
kind and be able to pass over immediate success
or fame for the things that will stand the test
of centuries.
There is a flimsiness about civilization, a
shiftiness about the devices of government, and
a surfeit of unripe advice. But would a race
living through ten centuries be able to do the
job more thoroughly? Mr. Shaw is rather out
of tune with that critical modern idea that too
much reliance has' been put on the past and that
old men, Clinging to wornout theories, are
brakes on progress. And how about the theory
that declares the impossibility of absorbing new
ideas after the early 20s? Nor is it possible to
live a thousand years merely because Mr. Shaw
thinks It might be a good thing.
Seed Cora of the Nation.
. It would indeed be difficult to find a better
investment than child welfare. Those in this
movement have been an instrument of great
good in safeguarding the physical and mental
development of the young in the manufacturing
and mining districts of the east. jNo such con
ditions prevail there now as marked the begin
nings of industrial organization when boys and
girls as young as five years were set to tedious
and soul and body-destroying tasks.
Seventy per cent of America's child laborers
are now found in rural occupations, Owen R.
Lovejoy stated at a social conference in Mil
waukee. In the cotton fields, and among the
onions, tobacco, beets and wheat, there are chil
dren who ought to be in school or at normal
play, he declares. "It is all right for children
to work," he says, "but pot to be worked at the
expense of health, play, schooling, and a free,
fair,, fighting chance.
Although the report is one frequently made,
it never fails to come as a surprise to hear that
the average rural child is less healthy than the
child of the cities. An exaggerated idea of the
innate healthfulnesi of farm life still persists,
and the Improvement that is found in so many
rural communities may yet fortify It with fact.
In a day when so much reliance is placed on
legal regulations and restrictions, it is good to
hear this leader in child welfare work say that
the remedy lies with the family and the com
munity rather than with legislatures and pro
hibitory laws.
Child labor laws applicable to the factory
districts could not be applied to the entirely
different situation in the country, and there is
some question whether they fit altogether in
cities where strong and willing boyi on their
vacation are sometimes barred from light em
ployment and forced to live in idleness. The
nation wants stronger, healthier boys and girls,
and a campaign of education against such evils
as slighting school in order to pick cotton or
tend the beets, or keeping children five years old
and up at backbreaking toil undoubtedly could
do much good.
Have a Heart
To Be Ashamed of
Sentiment Is Unreasoning.
From The Boston Qlabe
Helping to Move the Crops.
The lower discount rate which is to go into
effect July 1 is timed to meet the seasonal in
crease in borrowings incident to the harvest
and movement of grain. The Tenth Federal
Reserve district, of which Omaha fs a member,
is the last district to have this brake on loans
removed.
No one need fear that the speculative ac
tivity which resulted from the inflated condition
of the years immediately following the war is
to be permitted to resume. Nor is it to be be
lieved that money will be as easy as some
engaged in the business of production would
wish. But coming when it does, the abolition of
progressive rates will serve a most useful pur
pose and will do much to remove the impression
that the needs of the agricultural sections are to
be neglected.
Senator Kenyon hat introduced a bill to in-
crease the membership of the Federal Reserve
board from seven to eight by including the
secretary of agriculture. For the sake of the
larger usefulness of the reserve system and to
give it the fuller confidence of the farmers, such
an amendment can be heartily endorsed,
A Drop in the Bucket, ' ,
Statistics ctn be adduced to prove almost
anything. Consider the announcement based on
the census reports that the Japanese population
of the United States has increased 53.9 per cent
since 1910, while the white population showed a
rate of increase of only 16 per cent No doubt
On the Pacific coast a great deal will be made of
these figures, without much reference to the main
point the actual number of Japanese. Anyone
can see that if there were two Japanese here ten
years ago and this has been increased now to
three, there has been an increase of 50 per cent
As a matter of fact, there are now 111,025
Japanese now in this country, a gain of 38,868
in ten years, or less than 4,000 a year.
This race now forms a thousandth part of the
total population of America. The negroes, who
showed a smaller rate of increase than ever be
fore, growing only 6.5 per cent, form about one-
tenth of the total population. While their growth
has been through the birth rate, immigration
has undoubtedly swollen the numbers of the
apanese."
In all of Japan there are only 56,000,000 people,
iust a little more than half the population of
America. Their territory is smaller than Texas,
and only 16 per cent arable. Emigration some
where is inevitable, although it is probable that
California, which now has 71,000 Japanese, is
correct in feeling that it has enough. How
ever," taking our nation as a whole, the Japanese
can not be considered numerous enough here or
at home to cause any great worry.
Value of Farms Doubled.
An increase of farm values amounting to
more than $32,000,000,000 In 10 years is reported
by the census bureau. During this period from
1910 to January 1, 1920, the area of cultivated
land increased only 6 per cent, while the valua
tion rose 94.8 per cent. New buildings and other
improvements are responsible for only part of
the gain reported in the middle western district.
including Nebraska and Iowa, by which-the
average value per farm went up to $22,317 from
$10,464, the average in 1910.
Farmers are found now and then who do not
regard the high price of land as a wholesome
thing. It is not considered to compensate tor
losses on crop production. They say that it
drives men to the city and declare that their I
sons cannot hope to get hold of a farm and start
in as the older generation did. That tenantry
is encouraged by high land values is unques
tionable. And while increased acreage prices may
aM tn the farmer's wealth when he sells, the
farmer who buys and then attempts to secure an
income from production equal to interest on his
investment does not feel the advantage of the
high level.
Few would wish to see a slump in farm prices,
but neither will many actual farmers wish to
see a speculative boom send land values up an
other 94 per cent in the next 10 years, unless
the profits of agriculture rise to a point justify
ing such a movement .
The newly-formed Institute for Food Re
search, which has received a Carnegie endow
ment, will never be a success until it is able to
tell how to buy a dollar's worth of fodder witn
50 cents.
Among the thousand and one legends of the
Rhine is the story of the Seven Sisters of Schoen
berg. They were seven of the loveliest creatures
who ever smiled opun men. cut their smiles
were prompted by the hardest of hearts, and
were smiles of scorn. The seven sisters were
the despair of all suitors.
One day, taking courage from a large coin
pany which had assembled at the castle, some
cavaliers reproached the maidens. Followed the
suggestion that from the company the sisters
should select seven young bloods considered
worthy of becoming their husbands. The idea
was encouraged. The maidens directed all who
sought favor to appear at the castle in the morn
inn and the seven lucky men would be chosen
In the morninz the castle hall was crowded
with knights. There was a sprightly display of
casques and plumes and gold-hilted swords, and
hooe was Men in many a manly breast A Ions
wait ensued. No sign of the seven beautiful
sisters. Suddenly, through an open window
came a chorus of mocking laughter, and there
was a rush to the windows. The seven sisters
were seated in a boat out on the river.
From their bark they made merry at the ex
pense of the young men they had fooled. But,
alasl as they jested, the boat capsized. Scornful
laughter changed its tune, and became pititul
screaming, ihe last seen ot the nara-neartea
seven were their draperies, as they disappeared
under the water.
Thus is explained the origin of seven cruel
rocks which, concealed under the surface of the
river, today menace navigation.
There is a moral in the legend of the seven
Sisters of Schoenberg. The man or woman
whose heart is proof against the appeal of sen
timent is Suffering from a fatal disease. Of all
the ills to .which flesh and mind are heir, none
is more pitiable than inordinate love of self.
We are inclined to think that sentiment is
something of which we ought to be ashamed,
It is nothing more nor less than poetic imagi
nation, and surely this is a cause not for shame,
but for pride. Lacking that, a person becomes a
self-condemned outcast In his or her pack
there is lacking one piece of equipment which
can become a solace to a weary spirit at many a
rough spot on the highway o: life.
bentiment is not sentimentality tnat spuri
ous, artificial imitation wmcn invests common
olace things with euphemistic names nor is it,
as movie-surfeited folk may imagine, merely a
matter of sex.
The cherishing of old friendships, of old as
sociation, of pleasant memories, ot youtntui
ideals is a counter-irritant for the selfishness
with which we are all, to Varying degrees, afflicted.
Even old love affairs, which have caused pain,
may become the source of lasting happiness.
Youthful love affairs, whatever their outcome,
are more often than not associated with ideal
ism. To ridicule them may be a cruel and de
structive act. Dante, who has given to the
world something of his self which is imperish
able, testifies that his whole spiritual life sprang
from his hapless love for Beatrice.
Where wholesome sentiment displaces the
sense of personal loss, even the death of a friend
or kinsman may cease to cause us pain and from
the storehouse of memory we derive constant
pleasure and comfort. Nor is the instinct which
leads one alone to revisit former stamping
grounds, visualizing incidents of the nast, some
thing of which to be ashamed.
When a boy leaves pleasant associations to
wander over the face of the earth, the explana
tion may be imagination. But when a person
without a regret or parting thought breaks with
a pleasant past, he is probably, deficient in
imaginative qualities. ' ,
There are persons who can drop a coin in
the slot and extract 100 per cent of personal
benefit or enjoyment from friendships and asso
ciations of the hour, then throw away the wrap
per of memory and seek new fields on the mor
row. It is the way of the sensualist, the invet
erate lover of self. Such a person may flatter
himself that he is level-headed, practical, un
sentimental. But he dwells in a fool's paradise.
He is not of the same kith and kin with the
great artists of the centuries, who have enriched
life immeasurably from their experience.
Warm hearts need no alibis or excuses.
Their owners will escape the fate of the Seven
Sisters of Schoenberg.
An Outstanding Need
From the Advocate of Peace. -

College Years" to the tune of "Die Wacht am

A spiritualist tells the world that Edison is
guided by influences in the immaterial realm,
which may explain where he got those ques
tions.
This country's outstanding need is an era of
good feeling. We are now in the midst of an
era of bad feeling. So long as the war party
was in the saddle, the war being over, such an
era was inevitable. During the war we as a
people reached a maximum of unity, for we were
actuated by a common purpose. The war being
over in fact, our armies being disbanded, we
look up our varying tasks, the war government,
the while, remaining in control. Under such
circumstances we found it difficult to readjust
ourselves to the problems of peace. Our war
and civic forces were in conflict The era of ill
feeling grew in our midst by leaps and bounds.
The result was November 2, 1920.
1 he era of ill feeling is not ended. Economic
readjustments at a time of falling prices and
reduced wages, of unprecedentedtaxes, of crip
pled means of transportation, of agrarian disap
pointments, produce their irritations both in our
economic and political spheres. So far as any
of these diniculties can be met and solved, they
can be met and solved only by the application of
the principle ot good will. It is a fact of our
history that whenever we have suffered espe
:iaiiy irom ill will and conflict in this country
it has been when we have had in the White
House a president unfamiliar with the works of
congress. It is fair to presume that Mr. Cleve
land, Mr. itoosevelt Mr. Taft and Mr. Wilson
would have had much less trouble and fared far
better had they previously served an aoorantice-
tfhip in the house or senate.

In this country it has been when we have had a
president familar at first hand with the ways of
congress. Mr. Harding has had six years of
experience in the United States senate. He.
knows the methods, the points of view, of the
majority of the very men upon whom he must
depend for legislative action and a realizable
foreign policy. That is a hopeful immediate fact
in current politics. r
International Finance and Ireland.
Geneva, Neb., June 14. - To the
Editor of The Bee: Allow me to
congratulate you for the evidence
you afford In this mornlng'a edi
torial, "Ireland and the World's
Conscience," that there is at least
one editor of an American newspa
per who thinks that America is
something better than a tenth-rate
crown colony of England, peopled
by remittance men, and misfit flun
keys and lackeys of the English
junkers. Tou correctly point out
that the conscience of the world dis
approves of English barbarism and
will disapprove more strongly of an
intensification of that barbarism.
It would be even more creditable
if you went on to discuss the con

Ireland and the proposal to "fund"
the American loans that make that
barbarism possible. You might also

Keeping Limestone White. .
The bureau of standards issues the following:
In order to eliminate the brown stains which
frequently appear on new limestone masonry and
which are thought to be due to the mortar, tests
have been started to determine the effect of using
colorless waterproofing materials on the lime
stone at points where it comes in contact with
the mortar. The indications are that if water can
be prevented from leeching through the mortar
and entering the limestone that stains will not
occur, ihe tests indicate that the greater nart
of the stain can be prevented by this means.
Another method of eliminating the stains.
which is being tried, consists of coating the ex
posed face of the limestone walls as they are
built, with a porous coat that can be readily re
moved. The stains come through the coat and
form on the outer surface and by removing the
coat the stain is removed also. The insoluble
nature of the material which forms the stain
makes it very difficult to remove from the lime
stone, but by allowing it to. form on the coating,
as mentioned above, it can be readiy removed.
Since most of these stains form during the erec
tion of the masonry, the method may prove of
soma value, Federal Trade Information Service.
John 6. Saxe on Omaha.

Editor of The Bee: John G. Saxe.

Where four strong horses scarce
can haul an empty wagon
through the town.

Tnere is mute an interesting story
connected with the writing of the

days. Saxe was a close personal and
political friend of Henry Keyes, one
or tne incorporators or the union
Pacific, for several years in the early
aays one or its board or directors.
and active in looking after its
finances. He and Keyes, with some
or the other directors. I presume,
were in Omaha during a heavy rain
back in the early sixitles. The party
were out in a wagon which got
mired and they had to walk to their
notei.
After they returned to Boston
Saxe wrote the noem. "In Omaha.'
and it at once caught the popular
favor. , He was a frequent visitor at
the home of Keyes, who lived in the
Vermont town, where I spent some
of my youthful days, and it was
on one such occasion that I first
heard the story of the railroad mea
getting mired in the business part of
umaha years before, and Saxe writ
ing the poem.
Perhaps he stole the opening lines

in airrerent collections or his poems.

Food cannot be digested, ab

each ounce it weighs than an adult

An infant previously well, ceases
to eat- pushes away its food and
vomits if eating is forced. This
keeps up and the child emaciates.

this: the child is an only child. He
is neuropathic The parents and

their entire battery of affection and
solicitude on him. He responds to
the attention and the Immediate re
action is loss of appetite. This in
turn causes more solicitude and
more food is given. This means less
appetite, nausea and disturbed di

a case a change of environment is
worth barrels ot tonics, says Doctor
Gerstley.

months old and she has been having
the itch something awful. I have
tried almost everything and it does
not seem to check it. e The bottom
of her feet are all sore. Has ben
having It for two months. What
can I do for it?
REPLY. i
It Is altogether improbable that
your child has the itch, she is prob
ably having what is called tetter
or eczema. If you will apply Las
sar's paste without ualioyliu acid,
persistently, under your physician's
directions, you will cure tha erup
tion, provided the diet Is attended
to. As a rule this eruption comes
from a diet that is too rich in rats.
Eggs in the diet is sometimes the
cause.

Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
Heyl Mr. Boss.
Do not become inflated with the
idea that you are a man of unusual
importance because you are a pro
prietor or a man of high position
with the firm you serve.
In your little sphere you may be
a power because you have authority.
But where you arc not in power.
can you honestly say that yu are a
man ot unusual ability or that you
should command any more respect
man any other law-abiding citizen?
You are merely an atom of hu
manity when you are one of a crowd
trying to get a seat in a full car.
In a seething mass of human be
ings trying to make an exit or an
entrance is there anything about von
which causes men to step back and
out of the way for you, or gains you
any lavors beyond the merest non
entity in the bunch?
Where you are unknown isn't it
your good clothes that speak and
gain you more respect than anything
eiser
Suppose you went around fn the
garb or a tramp would you be
treated with any more consideration
than any other tramp?
You are usually neat and respect
ably dressed and your general ap
pearance gets you ordinary respect
out you have no occasion to be satis
fied with yourself. Be a regular fel
low, I
