Framing Next Year's Campaign.
Democrats in congress are busy laying plans
(or next year's campaign, using for their ma
terial alleged failure of the republican admin'
Istration to redeem all its platform pledges, par
ticularly the, one with reference to economy.
Senator Fletcher' attack is part of this, just as
are the tactics employed by Senator King, who
does not let ft day pass without bringing forth
s6me new cause for complaint of demand for
Investigation. The Omaha World-Herald re
cently shed some tears over the fact that the
20,000-Odd supernumerary clerks at Washington
hid not been dismissed, and so it goes through
the whole phalanx of the opposition.
The Insincerity of these attacks is so obvious
that they almost carry their own answer. Sena
tor Fletcher grudgingly admits that the budget
' bill holds the prospect of great saving. Others
f tha chirping critics know that the admin
istrative departments are being reorganized as
Upidly at possible, despite the solid front of the
bureaucracy, reluctant to be dislodged from Its
Mronghold. As to the actual "expenditure Of
noney, the appropriations for 1922 ehow a de
crease below the totals of any recent years. In
stead of the $6,000,000,000 frequently quoted by
democratic commentators, the total set aside by
tongress for the current fiscal year is just over
)3,538,000,000, or $2,500,000,000 less than the
!emocrttic charge. These figures do not in
tlude $351,000,000 of deficiency appropriations,
necessary to take care of expenditures made
inder the expiring Wilson administration, and
which have nothing to do with the 1922 budget.
The prospect for lessened taxation is made
the more certain of realization by reason of the
reduction in appropriations. .Some of the more
experienced congressmen are of the opinion that
not more than $2,500,000,000 will have to be
raised by internal revenue, relying upon mis--feUaneous
receipts nd duties on imports for
the remainder. , When the new revenue measure
ii brought out of committee, and it is looked for
in the near future, the promise is made that ma
terial reductions will be noted in the tax rates.
The truth is the republicans are steadily re
ducing the cost of government and rearranging
its processes t6 secure greater efficiency and less
of red tape. To restore prosperity after clearing
away the muddle left by a mismanaged war is
not a light task, and can not be accomplished in
a short time, but the record of the administration
so far is clear because it does show headway'on
th big job, Failure does notv follow because
Harding coold ' not rub Aladdin's lamp and
restore normalcy.
A Row Over Education.
Opposition' to the new federal commissioner
Ol CUUMUVB, J. J. 4'6"' it .to .vvv....,,
, ceeded P. P. Claxton, an appointee of President
Taft, is an outgrowth of the long fjght for a de
partment Of education such as is provided in the
Townef-Sterling bill. Attacks On Mr. Tigert at
' the convention of the National Educational asso
ciation in Des Moines indicate the determination
'of educators and of many women's organizations
to obtain a separate department of education, na
tional in scope and with membership in the cab
inet Such an arrangement prevails in most
important European countries, and it is safe to
say eventually will come about in America.
Mr. Tigert is a young man, hot yet 40, and
I is complaisant with the opposition plan for a de
partment of welfare which would absorb the du
ties of the proposed department of education in
addition to handling medical, labor and many
' other questions. Since completing a course as a
Rhodes scholar in England he has taught phi-
; losophy and psychology in various southern col
leges, leaving the University of Kentucky to go

fitness to preside over the educational affairs of
the nation, and that this comparative newcomer
into the field should oppose the carefully planned
proposal for. an independent department to cope
with the problems of illiteracy, Americanization,
and all that come under the head of training the
one-fifth of the population that should be in the
schools, naturally does not sit well with those
who have come so close to victory, only to be
threatened with the subordination of education

Kem&l and the Treaty.
Aa opportunity for the Entente Allies to make
good is offered in the present situation involving
Constantinople. Kemal Pasha, head of the so
called Turk nationalists, declines to accept terms
ef the treaty aa applied to his country, and for
many weeks has been carrying on more or less
of warfare in the interior. Venizelos had made
some headway against Kemal in Anatolia, the ob
ject being the Grecian hold on Smyrna, when
superseded by Constantine. The latter boasted
soon after taking his throne again that he would
dispense with Kemal by a single puff, but the
net result of his effort so far has not encouraged
confidence in his power. Regardless of other
considcrationi, the nationalist army is now re
ported to have a clear road to Constantinople,
and to have penetrated the neutral zone, in lofty
disdain of the regulations laid down by the
powers in the treaty. If this be true, the first
job for England, France and Italy will be to
turn back the Kematites, who are now marching
to the ancient capital. Possibilities involved in
this are many, chief among them being a con
tinuation of the war until the rebel army is put
out of action and peace in Asia Minor actually
is restored. That might not be such a bad thing
for civilization, now in a bad way in the Near
East. Whatever it done, the outcome will de
termine if the powert are impotent before the
flouting of a ragged army of fanatics.
Prize Fighting and Reformers.
The ex-post facto activity of Dr. Wilbur F.
Crafts will perhaps be as effective in stopping
prize fighting as was the telegram he sent from
Lincoln to the Department of Justice, demand
ing that it be forbidden. It is, perhaps, no credit
to the nation, but the incontrovertible fact is
that the folks who have an interest in prize fight
ing outnumber those who are opposed to it.
Moreover, the support given such exhibitions is
not passive. McCutcheon's cartoon illustrates
this point exactly; the affair at. Jersey City got
momentarily more attention than did the Battle
of the Marne. This, however, can not be ac
cepted aS a measure Of the importance the public
attached to the respective affairs. Only this is
true: Americans prefer to read about things that
are not intensely serious, and Dempsey and Car
pentier had far cleverer press agents than did
either Joffre or von Bulow. Moreover, no cen
sor sought to hide any of the doings at Atlantic
City, Manhasset or Boyle's Thirty Acres.
We are saddened St the progress prize fight
ing has made, in spite Of the reformers. Memory
recalls when Arthur Mudge came to this land t6
settle a difference of opinion as to the light
weight supremacy, and how he and his opponent
were watched and driven from pillar to post,
until only a chosen few were permitted to see
the famous encounter, somewhere near, Buffalo.
That was about half a century ago. Since then
a lot of water has run under the bridge.
John L. Sullivan arose, and following his en
counters with ambitious aspirants for his laurels
and with more or less pertinacious and energetic
minions of the law, the P. R. lias assumed such
eminence of respectability that it no longer hides,
but openly invites tuch crowds as are the won
der of the thoughtful. More people saw that
one fight than ever were assembled at a similar
event in the world; perhapslnore than attended
all the fights between the day of Arthur Mudge
and Bob Fitzsimmons. State after state has
enacted so-called boxing laws, under which such
contests as that at Jersey City are permissible.
If this is true, who is to blame for the changed
attitude of the public towards prize fighting?
May it not be possible that the group which Dr.
Crafts so energetically represents has been mis
taken in its strategy, or in its tactics?
Thank You, Gentlemen of the Council.
Speaking in the name, of the thousands of
small homes in the city, where -an iceless Sun
day would be a real terror, The Bee thanks
those gentlemen of the city council who declined
to vote that no ice should be delivered on Sun
day. In this we do not relax in the demand that
drivers of ice wagons, and those who carry the
chunks into the houses and flats as well, be
given a respite of one day off in seven. We know
that this work can be arranged,' just as have
other continuously operating industries, on a
six-day basis with the seven-day service uninter
rupted. That is a problem for the companies to
solve. It can and should be done.
For the man who suggested, to the council
that ice on Sunday is a luxury, we suggest that
he try going to some home where children are
being reared, especially one where there, is a
baby in the house, and after he has made a care
ful survey of the situation, let him stand forth
and say whether ice is Hot needed there every
day, just as is milk or bread and butter. Noth
ing is more essential to a city's health in the
summer in this latitude than ice. ,
Again, in the name of those on whom a great
hardship would have fallen had the delivery of
ice on Sunday been forbidden, we say to the
commissioners who voted to kill the plan, "For
this relief, much thanks."
Shall Canada Arm?
The imperial conference which is being held
in London is not receiving much notice from
Americans, although its actions may have im
portant effect upon the peace and stability of the
world. One of the purposes, beyond the idea of
signifying the equal partnership of the self-governing
dominions of Canada, Australia, New Zea
land and South Africa in the affairs of the em
pire was to reach an understanding over' the )
question of naval armament. The British cabinet
has for a long time wished to see Canada, Aus
tralia and the rest build up fleets of their own
to co-operate with the main British navy, and
Australia has been constructing warships for it
self while English construction has fallen off.
Such deliberations are complicated by the
movement Started in America for a limitation of
armament Canada has never had more than a
few warships and taxpayers there have been well
content to count oft the support of the British
fleet without building one of their own. Most of
the deliberations of the Imperial conference are
secret, but the decisions concerning colonial ar
mament and the Japanese alliance will be too im
portant not to be made public.

Regarding Chief J ustice Taft
Appointment One of Best
Made by President Harding.
(From the New York Times.)
The president's selection of Mr. Taft to suc
ceed Chief Justice White has met with the
hearty public approval which was indicated in
advance on reports of the forthcoming appoint
ment. It was positively announced in bur own
Washington dispatches of March 29. Senator
Borah urged on Thursday some minor objections
to confirmation, but these were quickly brushed
aside by the senate. It must have been gratify
ing to Mr. Taft. as it is pleasing to the country,
to know that the confirming of his nomination
was warmly advocated by the leader of the dem
ocrats in the senate, Mr. Underwood. On the
score of fitness by training, temperament and
public service, no better choice could have been
made.
In naming Mr. Taft for the chief justiceship
at this time, although the supreme court will not
sit again until October, the president has been
moved by the reasons set forth in The Times
some weeks ago. The attorney general has ad
vised Mr. Harding Of the desirability of an early
appointment, so that the interim work of the su
preme court may be got in hand betimes. Then
would be a calendar unnecessarily congested if
the reorganization of the court were to be much
longer deferred. An additional motive may have
actuated the president. Having made up his mind
whom to appoint, it may have seemed to him
wise quickly to put an end to all uncertainty in
the matter. This would have the advantage of at
once relieving the White House from wearisome
solicitation and of assuring the nation that no
mistake would be made in filling our highest
judicial office.
Important litigation is sure to come before the
supreme court while Mr. Taft is presiding over
it. There are critical labor cases on appeal. Argu
ments will be heard bearing On the application of
anti-trust laws. Railway cases are certain to
come up. And it is altogether probable that the
court will have to pass upon a multiplicity of le
gal questions growing out of the war claims,
damages, liquidated contracts, rights of alien
property owners, and so on. The business of the
supreme court has greatly expanded in recent
decades, and doubtless will keep on growing. It
evidently will demand- all the industry and acu
men which the judges can command.
It is now common doctrine Of lawyers and
judges that the law, in its highest sense, is not
a fixed code. It is continually being changed, not
only by statutory enactments, but by one judi
cial interpretation after another. In the work of
adapting and applying great legal principles so
as to make them answer to altered public needs,
it is believed that Chief Justice Taft will prove
to have the qualities which Burke said a states
man ought to have namely, willingness to im
prove, combined with a determination to con
serve. Mr. Taft has the humane instincts arid the
broad knowledge of his fellowmen which a judge
ought to possess. He is not one who would wish
to make the supreme court appear a cold tribu
nal functioning in Olympian aloofness from liv
ing men and women. But he has also made it
plain that he has the strongest convictions on the
subject of mamtaininsr the solemn Guarantees of
individual and property rights written into our
constitution and laws for the express purpose of
erecting permanent bulwarks against the flooding
prejudices and passions of the hour.
TJfiaJQ&e's
Budget in Operation
The forceful way in which Charles G. Dawes,
director of the budget, outlined the principles on
which the budget system will operate must have
been a revelation to the country. The latter has
not been used to seeing cabinet members and
bureau chiefs talked to in such manner.
Obviously it was nq mere new and improved
method of setting forth the government's esti
mated revenues and expenses for a fiscal year
that came into effect the other day. Rather, a
new and powerful, governmental agency has been
born. Mr. Dawes will occupy a position some
what analogous to that of the British secretary
of the exchequer, an official usually considered
second in importance only to the premier him
self. Washington has seen many an economy
efficiency program fall flat. But here we have
not a new program but a new authority. Granted
its determined use, the past affords no precedents
by which to judge what this system may ac
complish. Heretofore, the secretary of the treasury, in
transmitting the reports of the various depart
ments to congress, has been powerless to change
them in any way. He acted only as an inanimate
funnel through which they passed on to the
legislative branch of the government. Now,
however, the estimates will be more thoroughly
revised, and digested before they leave his hands.
It will be the duty of the budget director to Study
the administrative machinery, to cut down ex
penses here, eliminate duplication there and
finally to tell the president just how much money
is needed to insure its smooth and efficient oper
ation. Thus in his own province,, the importance ol
which it would be difficult to exaggerate, the
budget director will be supreme. The president
has assured him Of the fullest co-operation and
support, and he is to take precedence over cab
inet heads in all questions related to government
requirements and expenses.
The creation of a budget in Our government
is, of course, an experiment. Yet the system
has been so thoroughly tested in other countries
that its success here hardly admits of a doubt.
With the enthusiastic backing of the president,
with the earnest co-operation of departmental
heads, with the hopes of the people centered
upon it, there is room only for optimism. Un
less all signs fall, it will mark a long step to
ward rigid economy and businesslike adminis
tration in the nation's affairs. Baltimore

Has a Kick in It.
According to the chemical experts, the
grasshopper should be one of the best foods
extant. Wherever man or beast have eaten of
them in large numbers they have thrived. The
scientist says that the grasshopper is more than
40 per cent fat and that it is stuffed with pro
teins. Maybe the restaurants have been serving
us grasshappers for lamb chops when we were
not looking. We always knew that a grasshop

Government Ownership.
No system of government ownership of rail
ways has been suggested which does not depend
upon the public to finance the operations. The
interests Of the eublic, whether the system be
government or private ownership, depend largely
on whether the management happens to be in
an expensive or an economical frame of mind.

Hotel Keeper's Side.
Lexington, Neb., July 3. To the
Editor or The Bee: Tour editorial
In a recent issue of The Omaha Bee
"Aiming at Traveling Costs" is lack
ing Jn facts. Ordinary news Items
are not expected to always be exact,
but editorials are accepted by read
era aa opinions and facts gathered
by men who know. If you were ac
quainted with the facts you would
know that the cost of operating
hotels in this state has more than
doubled in the past few years. It is
true that there has been a consid
erable decline in a great many food
products, and this has been reflected
in meal prices In the most of hotels
in the state that are operating din
ing rooms. As a matter of fact very
few hotels in this state operate din
ing rooms for the reason that they
cannot be operated except at a loss,
even though a great many food
Items are very much lower. It is
the general expense that must be
taken into consideration in the op
eration of any business and this holds
true more in the hotel business than
in many other lines, because the op
eration of hotels is continuous and
there is little chance to reduce ex
penses by cutting off of employes
and other means which some lines
have.
The hotel business in email towns
is hazardous and very few of them
ever make more than a living and
the pathway is strewn with the
wrecks Of many of them) at all
times. It is the exception for & coun
try hotel to make money, as money,
is a-enerally spoken of in business.
A few places on account of location
do make more than a mere living,
but they are rare.
As a matter of fact thfe patron
izing puniic rarely ever pay for a
hotel built out Bide of the large
cities. To prove this will call your
attention to the many hotel failures
during the past few years in the
state of Nebraska, where palatial
hotels have been built and have dis
mally failed in the operation of
them, much as the public imagined
they were paying institutions.
During the past few years there
has been built in this state a num
ber (outside of the large cities) of
very fine and very expensive coun
try town hotels: the most of these
hotetls may be purchased for a frac
tion of their cost. Some of them
were built by companies and the
greater part of them are financial
failures. Some were built by the
people of the towns in which they
are locatetd and very few of them
have ever paid or will pay the in
terest on the original investment.
There is a reason for these thines
which is not understood by the peo
ple and public who patronize coun
try, hotels. It is the general as
sumption that hotels are mostly
bip paying institutions because the
public does not take into considera
tion the cost of operation at present
time and from the fact that there
has been a decline in some lines of
merchandise used in the hotels. As
a matter of fact the cost of opera-
tlon is about as great now as at
anyime during: he past four years.
I am going to take the time to give
you some figures (comparative) on
the difference in cost in the opera
tion of this country hotel which is
a fair example of the small towns
in this state. This hotel is one that
was buile by the citizens some years
ago; a very good substantial brick
building with 50 rooms. This hotel
cost considerable money at the time
of building' and was considered a
very good hotel for the town and
time. The actual operation of this
hotel for several years was a failure
with few exceptions, and the hotel
stood empty for six years. In 1914 j
the taxes on this property was
$254.62. In 1921 the taxes were
$608.75, not counting a multitude
of other taxes and assessments not
known before. Wages paid, to em
ployes in 1914 were $224 per month.
In 1921 had risen to $565 per month.
Bates for water, electricity, power,
telephone and other public utilities
very large increases. Chinaware 200
to 400 per cent, silverware 100 per
cent. Bedroom linens are cheaper
than war prices, but in 1914 the
best of sheets could be had for $9
per dozen and towels at $1.25 per
dozen; now sheets have come down
to $18 and up, and towels from $2.50
and up. The matter of repairs runs
into money as carpenters, plumbers,
paperhangers, painters and all other
mechanics and labor receive more
than double pre-war wages, so that
to properly keep a hotel building
and furnishings in good condition
takes a lot of money. For this rea
son there is considerable complaint
that some hotels are not kept up
tho way they should be.
It all resolves itself into the ques
tion of country hotels receiving
enough income from the business
to keep up the equipment and fur
nish the accommodations to guests
that they are entitled to, and if the
average country hotel keeper tries
to operate his- hotel by lowering
prices below costs he Will soon find
himself on the rocks. The matter
of heating is also very expensive. In
1914 good coal could be had for
from $6 to $7 per ton. We began
buying our coal this year in June
and are paying $14 per ton. The
actual cost for heating this build
ing in 1920-1921 was $2,115.89, not
counting the depreciation or in
terest on the investment and plant,
and this with a complete vacuum
systems of steam heat, giving the
very best of service with the least
consumption of coal consumed. In
the year 1915 the daily expenses of
operating this hotel was about $30
per day. At this time the daily ex
penses of operation is right around
$75 per day. In 1914 a country town
hotel that was doing a gross busi
ness of $12,000 to $14,000 per year
was considered as doing a fairly
good business; today with daily ex
penses what they are it keeps the
most of small operators on the Jump
to break even, though the public
think these hotels are profiteering.
During the war hotels did not raise
their prices in proportion to other
lines of business and. had no' stocks
of goods that could be marked up
from low levels to excessively high
prices. During the whole period of
the war the dining room of this
hotel never broke even and the op
eration was extremely difficult Ow
ing to the shortage of competent
help. .
These figures and this statement
may seem insignificant to large con
cerns, but comparatively they loom
large in a small town and I Will ven
ture the assertion that the average
country hotel render as much or
more Bervice at a fair price to the
Sublic than many other lines of
uslness who now say that he rates j
in hotels snouia come down iasier,

COWS AND MOTHERCRAFT.
I must be browsing around all the
time looking for something trmt
may prove helpful to my people. The
term browsing around is appropriate
in this instance because something
written by Meigs and Woodward
about milch cowe should prove help
ful to nursing mothers whose milk
is deficient.
They found that the milch cows
at the experiment farm at Belts
vlile, Md., were giving less milk and
drying up quicker than they should.
The cows were of the best dairy
strains and the ration fed was that
determined by the very beRt authori
ties on the subject. What could
they do?
First, the dry spell between calves
was lengthened, the Intervals be
tween calves was lengthened. That
helped. Second, the feed of the cow
during the last jtwo months before
the calf came was increased consid
erably above the standard require
ment. That helped.
But something more was needed.
The experimenters concluded the
cows needed more phoRporus and
lime than the ration was givinj
them, since milk is rich in those two
minerals. They fed more alfalfa,
rich In lime, and they mixed phos
phate of soda with the feed. The
charts showed that when they did
this the amount of milk given shot
right up.
This experiment proved that the
milk gland needs a longer vacation
than a calf once every 12 months
gives it. It also proved that food
can be stored up for a month or
two' before the calf comes and then
can be drawn on as a source of milk
Finally, it proved that good milk
production necessitated an abundant
supply of lime and phosphorus ana
that these could be supplied py reea
ing inorganic salts.
We know that, a good dairy dis
trict is one that has a good deal of
lime in the soil. This lime must be
constantly fed to the soil from rocks
snd pebbles to replace that which is
shipped to the city as miiK. une
same is true of phosphorus. We
knw that the foods rich in lime
are the best milk producers. There
fore there was basis in everyday ex
perience and farmers' practical
knowledge for this experiment.
Applying this to women t Jbots or
women write me that they would
like to breast feed their babies, but
their milk dries up in spite of every
thing they can do. This is the ad
vice they have received; To get at
least eight hours' sleep out or tne
24. and preferably more; to nurse
the baby at regular times, and at no
other time; to see that eacn breast
is sucked empty at least twice a day
not to worry or to let her thoughts
dwell on failure of the supply; final
ly, to eat enough, but to avoid in
digestion due to overeating.
Milch cows get plenty or sleep.
They are kept ftulet mentally, are fed
regulated diets, are miiKea at regu
lar times, and tne uaaers are
Rlrlnned.
This experiment suggests that tne
milk supply of the human mother
can be increased by feeding a diet
that is rich in phosphorus and lime
If the mother knows her supply or
babv food is liable to fail, she could
consider beginning her dieting one
month or two before the baby came
That diet should be composed of
good milk, whole Wheat bread, bran,
cereals, good meat, vegetables, and
fruit. She must eat enough, but not
too much. After the baby has come
and she has straightened out on her
career as a source of baby rood she
must carry out all the directions pre
viously given. Her diet must be am
ple but not excessive. She must take
considerable foods rich in phos
phorus. These are egg yolk, eggs,
cereals, bran. She must have foods
