Omaha li eharing with the world in noting the wreckage of various enterprises founded on the sands of inflation1. C harges are being freely made that certain of the transactions connected with schemes that have suddenly been deflated were shady if not positively criminal, The at torney general defends the financial authorities of the state, and asserts that certain able and ' respectable citizens of Omaha lent their prQ- fessional knowledge and experience to the fur thering of transactions that now prove to have lacked the essential elements of business hon esty. Such scandals are the inevitable accompani ment of collapsed booms. Little will be gained by the post-mortems that are under way, so far as recovery of lost funds is concerned. The genera) cause of humanity may be aided, how- ever, by the sequestration of any who is shown to have in any way violated the laws of the land, No criminal ought to be permitted to escape just because h is no longer able to make restitution. The activity of the state and federal authorities, even at thl late day, is com mendable, although 4 closer scrutiny of some of the transactions a few months ago might have saved the victims considerable cash. A lesson is to be drawn from this, although it has been repeated so many times in human experience that it seems almost useless to reiterate the teaching. A number of years ago a gang of swindlers operated in this neighbor hood, cheating by means of fake horse races, prize fights and the like, methods so simple a child could have understood the fraud, but catching many old and experienced men. At the outset the cupidity of the victim was aroused, ha was shown how easy it was to dupe another, and almost invariably he fell, and in his efforts t defraud soma other person, was himself neatly trimmed, Little sympathy goes out to these men, but the swindlers were finally lint to prison. Men who came into possession of unusual sums of money during the war and right after were fought out by promoters, Now they hold shares of stock, generally worthless, in enter prises that failed because of the mismanage ment of affairs or because they never had a chance. Nona of these victim made proper inquiry; any of them, could have had good ad vice from his banker, snd sound investments were present on ftU sides. The "wild cat" won, because it promised most, That is the. tory. It moral ii equally plain. The horse is gone, but tha stable will be locked ecurely, or st least until another horse is se cured. But some responsibility rests on the lawyers who are chosen to look after public in terests, and on the boards that are charged with Oversight of corporations, to see that the lesson of the late "good timea" is made effective. They sre or should be as much concerned in stop ins; crime' as in prosecuting criminals after a crime has been committed. Disclosures in the Philippines. General Wood and Mr. Forbes are now (preparing:, t request of the president, a pre liminary report on conditions in the. Philippines. This will be submitted to the secretary of state Jor service in preparing the agenda for the com ing conference at Washington. Whan given to Jhe public it will serve to disclose the hollow jess of the agitation for full independence for the islands, so vigorously carried on during the lime the democrats were in power under Wil on. Advance information is tc the effect that much of the good accomplished under McKin ley, Roosevelt and Taft was broken down under Wilson. Tha Filipino treasury is depleted, the Schools have deteriorated, the splendid sanitary system built up by the Americans has fallen spart under the native control, peonage has re appeared, and generally the people of the is lands have gone backward since the unwise provisions of the Jones bill went into operation. The Wood-Forbes report will, it is understood, favor the continuance of autonomy under the Jones bill, but with closer supervision by Amer ican authority of finances, sanitation and other features of tha native administration, to the end that what has been gained for civilization and enlightenment among the people of the islands e not wholly lost. Filipinos are not yet ready to Stand alone among the nations, but will require assistance and oversight for many years to come. Nebraska's Workmen's Compensation Law Secretary of Labor Kennedy, talking to the Relegates at the meeting of the State Federa tion of Labor, told them Nebraska has one of the best of workmen's compensation laws. What ha deplores is the fact that working peo ple who coma under its provisions are not familiar with it, and therefore do not under stand their rights. The law is not self-enforcing, but it operates without expense to the vic tim of an industrial accident A few employ ers are negligent, in that they do not give full information to their employes, nor do they concern themselves far beyond securing the in surance policy that protects them from loss. Under the law as amended last winter, the claim now runs against the insurance company, rather than the employer. This point has not been sufficiently made clear, but when it is un derstood by. sll ffiuch fif the dificulty now en countered will be done away with. What i of the utmost importance ii that the workers who are covered by the law come to realue that such a law exists, and that it is for their bene fit, and is administered without cost to them Nebraska employers are paying liberally that those on their pay rolls may have insurance against mishaps, and the insured ought to take full advantage of the situation. )aVBaaeaWBaBBBBBBBaBaaBWaaaaaaBBa Black Sox Under Whitewash. According to the estimation of a Chicago jury it is not a crime to cheat in, a game of sport, even when caught at the deception. Only on such a basis can we account for the remark able verdict reached in the case of the accused base ball players. All may not have been guilty, but certainly those who confessed that they had accepted money from professional gamblers to throw game must have deserved some degree of punishment. However, no law was broken, snd the jury perhaps felt that in the fall from their high estate in public estimation, as well as being deprived of their place in base ball was sufficient penalty. It is curious, however, to contrast the Joe Jackson of last fall, like Niobe, all dissolved in tears with the jaunty Joseph who walked out of the court room after the jury had hoisted him triumphantly to their shoulders, holding even as the soldiers of Gaul uplifted on his shield the man they chose for chief. Or the whining, abject Cicotte of last year with the smiling man who hastened to his Detroit home. His pillow may be as soft, but looking under it probably never will again bring him as rich a reward as he confessed having discovered in the Cincinnati hotel. In whatever moments of sober reflection these men do indulge, they must realize how thoroughly contemptible they appear, even when measured by a gambler s standard, Judge Landis announces none of them will be permitted to return to organized base ball. This is the extreme punishment that can now be bestowed on the offenders. The condonation of their treachery by the jury is likely to extend the effect of its discovery on the game. Base ball suffered and will continue to suffer for a long time, for it has been grievously wounded, but it wil recover, just because it is a grand game, and the crooked gamblers and players can not kill it. Dig Up the Paving Facie. A few more hot days, a few more accusatory Statements, a bit more of buck-passing and the poor average being whose money is spent for road improvement hereabouts will be complaining of a combination of fever, aches and chills that will defy treatment, The plight of the taxpayer in the county paying muddle is serious, The doctors disagree, Their disagreement h not limited to prescription, or even to diagnosis. They disagree as to the symptons; they disagree even as to whether or not there are any symptons. If the State engineer and the Chamber of Commerce arc right, certain county officials have been guilty of gross carelessness, to say the least. If the county engineer and county commissioners are right, they themselves and the paving contractor have been wantonly abused. So muddled is the whole affair, none knows what to believe or who to believe. The one cer tain thing is that Douglas county does not want its public work to go on in this fashion. It either wants to know that the work is being done right or it wants to be rid of the men who are doing it wrong. Surely it is not too much to ask that mere oral abuse stop, at least until the facts are made plain. Surely it is not too much to ask that the various parties concerned join in a searching and thorough probe that will establish in some way, at least, how much cement is in a bag and hovf many bags should go into a pavement. Accusa tions and defense there is in plenty; that is easy, Isn't there some way to get facts? If the officials can't ascertain them, must it be left to some pri vate investigation? ' Senator Franee shows 100 per cent wisdom in one of his pronouncements upon returning from Russia, "No man worthy of attention," he declares, "ever believed that propaganda could start revolutions. Conditions are not propa ganda, history shows." It also shows that sup pression finally is powerless and that the only cure for unrest is a clean-up of conditions. From the amount of surprise incident to the discovery that the estate of former Secre tary of the Interior Lane amounted to only $10,000, one might judge that the usual thing for officeholders to do is what some of those in Illinois are charged with doing. The civil war between Northcliffe and Lloyd George appears as bitter as that with Ireland, but still the noble lord need not worry about missing out on a dinner at the British embassy Child's restaurants are open all night. Now that it seems that airplane bombs can sink warships, the alternatives seem to be wheth er to build more warships In order to overcome the excessive mortality or to rely rather on air defense. President Obregon has ordered a reduction of 10 per cent in the salary of every federal office holder, which will only go to convince every American politician tha't Mexico is sunk in barbarism. A Coloradoan complains that summer tour ists hit him in the eye with a snow ball, tut if he had to choose between that and sunstroke he probably would like a little ice in his. American Legion men, in Des Moines, who faced all the perils of war without flinching, seem to be thrown into a panic when a woman tries to make a socialistic speech. Now that they have a Dempsey cocktail, which is a knockout in four rounds, it may oc cur to some enterprising soft drink dispenser to name his product after Georges. Violence begets violence, and the formation of a secret order to fight the Ku Klux Klan leads to wonder just where the majesty of law and order comes in. If. the Japanese laborers win their strikes and organize for higher wages they thereby will remove a considerable part of the bogy of cheap foreign labor. With some food canneries closed down and others limiting their output, home canning ought to be the order of the day, u Penalties of Spinster hood Old Maid Tells Some of the Things She Has to Put Up With Daily Frances E. KeUcy in Harper's Magazine for August. Sometimes I am tempted to marry. I can perfectly understand the heroine of the farce who moves to a distant spot in order to he permitted to invent for herself a fictitious spouse indefinitely and mysteriously absent. The desire for a husband figures as little in my plans as in hers; what vvc both desire is a chance to escape the kindly condescension of the self-elected successful. My heart has long treasured the story of the little girl who an nounced her ambition to be a widow, and who justified herself by the statement that, "If you're married your husband bosses you; if you don't get married, your folks boss you; but if you're a widow you can do as you please." Particularly trying is the pity of your social group even if it be directed toward a more doubtful misfor tune. Among my friends are any number who share the views of the poor bruised, broken crea ture whom Jane Addams re.sctied from the drunk en attack of her husband. Washed, bandaged and put to bed, the woman opened her one good eye recognized her surroundings and deliverers, and sighed pityingly as she said, "It must be hell to be an old maid." There is, jn all justice, "a good deal to be said on her side;" there are plenty of moments when I sigh over my orphan nephew Willie's fate in the very simple order of life with his maiden aunt, but both Willie and I shrink from the married havens which might be persuaded to open to receive him. By the wedded, Willie and 1 are pitied and admonished: bv the un married, we are regarded with puzzled bewilder ment. Childless wives clutching a Pomeranian say: "I don't see how you can bear to keep up an apartment for just that child. Isn t it terribly expensive? Am! carpet-bagging individuals of both sees ask, "Do you save much that way?" as if Willie and I, sitting before our own grate and eating real butter, were all the time sighing for a hall bedroom and the weekly cycle of boarding- house meais. "Nobody knows but a mother, poor lamb," all of these people feel qualified to say, shaking their heads over Willie, broken out with hives, as if his poor mother's death had automatically brought them on. Only the other day the ador ing mother of a fiendish lad of 12 folded her hands across her ample foreground to say, "My dear, no woman ought ever to be made dean of women anywhere unless she has been a mother. Indeed, within the last few years I have listened to endless arguments to prove that good sense, scholarship and social graces should be disregard ed as qualifications for police' women, matrons, welfare workers and heads of physical training departments to make room for a woman who 'has been a mother. All of this, of course, with regard to what are considered desirable appoint ments, but I cannot help observing that when the baby has diphtheria they telephone for a trained nurse without asking whether she has ever "held a child of her own in her arms." Having no aspirations myself toward any of the moot positions, I could get on very comfort ably if I were not so resolutely labeled as a dreamer and theorist. Gwendolyn, to whom I taught her multiplication tables not so many yeats ago, came in the other evening to show me her engagement ring and to wait until her fiance had finished with his night class. Gwendolyn draped herself effectively before the fire and talked to me about the "worn out insti tution" of marriage. She said that she would "submit" to a ceremony to "please her mother," but that to a true soul "reaching out for life" . . I listened as long as I could, and then at tempted to say something about Mary Woll stonecraftand the eighteenth century. Gwendo lyn did not hear mef however, for it was time for Henry's sociology class to be dismissed. She kissed me affectionately, in her usual manner, and said: "Good night, old thing. I shouldn't have spoken as I did to you. I know you do not understand, dear, for of course you nave never faced the great realities of life." How to Keep Well By OR. W. A.

BAD Kvpry person who hue swelling of the feet should investigate the con dition of his kidneys. Swelling of the feet in hot weather may not be a matter of great consequence, but it It is due to llfluht's disease it is, Kvery person that finds he has chronic Urlajht's disease should in. vemlgate whether he haa any swell ing of his feet or other variety of dropsy. Chronic Bright'- disease without dropsy is not a serious disease. Chronic HriglU's with dropsy ia. A person with rhronlo Urlght's disease without dropsy may live a long time. If Bti'h a man will change his habits and live Just as hq should he stands a good chance to outlive the man who thinks himself fool proof and whn goes along vio lating every health law ha hears about. But "living exactly as he should" does not mean the rigorous life that some people think. For instance, Dr. MeLester, who writes oh this subject in the Journal of the Ameri can Medical Association, ways such a man snotua nave auout two ounces of protein a day, chiefly meat, and any kind of meat he JIUos at that wneiner ne eats neexsteaK or chicken breast, white meat or red or eggs is a matter for him to de cide according to his tasto. A amall helping of ordinary meat or one egg rurnisnes aoout two ounees of pro tein. lie 6hould eat about 2,500 calories a day.

T)r McLester warns against the frequent una conunueq use of this drug, wnne violent exercise is bad. He thinks walking is excellent and notning is better than golf. l-requent vacations ara advised and a midday rest and an occasional trip away rrpm home are good.

Zet&r& A Business Man's Vision -of the Future As a rule, the men who have tried to peer into the future and to put their visions upon paper have been poets or scholars who had lit tle acquaintance with the market place or with the world of practical affairs. Out of Germany comes a business man of outstanding ability who has found time to think below the surface of the system within which he had lived and moved and to try to estimate its tendencies. AH the more because he is German, his criticism and his forecast will be of interest, Walter Rathe nau, the most popular of whose numerous writ ings has just appeared in an English transla tion, thinks that the chief defect of our gener ation is what he calls "mechanisation." "When our descendants lookback," he says, "upon our age, they will be aghast to note how . . . intellectualist thinking attained its climax, and left behind as the token of its passage the mechanjcation of the world. Only the ascent of lower strata (in human nature) that had previously been enslaved ... will seem to them to explain the itch for gauds in women and men, the prevalence of fear and enmity , . . the instability of our valuations, the lack of standard morality, of repsonsibil ity, or self-reliance and solidarity. Just like the ages when feudalism was collapsing, like the age when the system of classical Greece was decaying, like the age when the Roman empire was tottering to its fall, our own epoch will be regarded as at once an end and a beginning. But the unprecedented merit of our generation will be recognized to have been that the rebirth was not the outcome of foreign conquest, but of an inward impudse Of the will." While there is in this paragraph something that is an individual expression of opinion, there is much that is in line with what other thinkers in other countries have been saying for a score of years. It has been a commonplace of philoso phers and preachers that in the modern world mechanical progress has outrun moral and in tellectual and that the machine invented as a labor-saving device has become mankind's master. Even had the European war not occurred, great changes in the structure of society, which had long been impending, would have come to pass, though more tardily. And it is an interesting speculation whether the direst catastrophe that ever scourged the human race was not so much the cause of change as the most serious symp tom of a deep-seated internal malady of civiliza tion. HerrRatenau speaks of a rebirth, but is it pessimism to say that it is doubtful whether the patient is cured and that a long period of con valescence, in which time an immense amount of skill and thought and good will must be exer cised before mankind can be said to have re covered?

C. M. writes that he got eczema or the toes rrom an overdose of nitrobenzol applied in shoe shining parlors by bootblacks. After con siderable experimenting he cured himself by using the following treatment: 1. Wash the feet carefully and dry eetween the toes. 2. Apply 3 per cent solution tinc ture or iodine to affected parts. a. Appiy tnicK paste or 3 per cent tnymoi iodine in pure icthyol freely to parts with the fingers. Use freely. 4. Place small amount of cotton between each of the toes to prevent motion ana as an absorbent. 5. Dust one-half ounce of boric acid power on strips of cotton and place above and below toes. The result will be a thin black rubber like coating over all affected parts. It is important to use plenty of boric acid. 6. Do not wash feet for 10 days, that is, the affected parts. In this time or a little longer new healthy skin will form. If necessary repeat, though I never found I had to do so. Dust feet daily with one part talcum to nine parts boric acid.

Mimh It plica to VKlruff. Omaha, July 80. -To tha Editor of The Bee: Mr. 8. J. Woodruff takes exception to the recent letter of Rev. Father Judge which ap peared in The Bee Letter Box. He does not attempt to refute the state nieuts of Father Judge he cannot. But Instead, he agmln "disposes Of Ireland." 1 cannot blame Mr. Wood ruff for his emphatic Kngllsh isentl ments. Ho may or niuy not he a real American citizen. Hardly any Englishman in this country sweara allegiance to Old (ilory unlesN he seeks public ofllce. And in this free countrythe only free country In the world every one is at liberty to think for himself. Doubtless Mr. Woodruff is ilolng his share in spreading and cultivat ing the great Anglo-Saxon propa. Kundu started by the late Andy Carnegie, who robbed thousands pf laborers in the accumulation of his millions. Doubtless, too. he desires to help the latest scheme of history writers in this country, who want to minimize the loyalty, sufferings and unconquerable patriotism of the revolutionary fathers, and who want to eliminate the Declaration of In dependence from our text books. I am quite sura ha must be in per fect accord with the unpardonable act of an Illiterate and irresponsible majority of the Nebraska legislature who caused the inhibition f all languages- in our preparatory schools, except the mongrel English tongue, By this act of our sapient legislature, the teacher cannot telj her pupil what is the origin of the term 'kindergarten," nor wnai are the roots of the word "agriculture." O, yos! the twenty millions of Eng lish must dominate over the other eighty millions of American citizens just as the 20 per cent of Orange men must govern thtj 80 per cent of Irishmen. "Ireland has no more right to secede from England than North Carolina had from the United States." That's what Lloyd George said a little while ago. It is well known that the union of states was purely voluntary, and T " -h Caro lina was one of the ".ginal charter members of this glorious republic When it attempted to secede it was guilty of treason. Ireland has never consented to a union with England, and never will consent. The Repub lic of Ireland la now functioning, and all the powers of Satan cannot weld a chain that will bind it to England! We won't mind Sims, poor fellow. When a man is drunk you cannot bridle his tongue. Too; bad that our dry land admiral could not share the glory of the naval bat tle off the coast of Jutland, Mr. Woodruff deals out a chunk of philosophy, thus: "An Irishman who becomes at heart a real (Eng lish) American makes a splendid, tearless American. So does a Ger man." True for you. Mr. Wood ruff. Leaving out the adjective in parenthesis, the divil himself couldn t bate him.
