Another of the academic pointi in connection with the general scheme of our government has afforded a momentary diversion in the senate, where certain of the gentlemen in opposition have criticized the president for having person ally addressed the body on the subject of sol diers' bonus bill. With bowed heads and hushed voices, these discouraged senators lament the fact that that distinguished body has been ex tinguished and its long and honorable career ended, because the president of the United States came before it and gave some informa tion and advice with regard to a pending measure. ' , Section 3 of Article II of the Constitution of the United States says, defining the duties of the president: Section 3. He shall from time to time give to the congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consid eration such measures as he shall judge neces ary and expedient. Nowhere in the law is any manner pre scribed for the communication by the president with the congress in carrying out this instruc tion of the constitution. He may address the house, the senate, or both in joint session, either in person or by writing, and do it with perfect propriety. Indeed, he would be remiss in his duty did he not so address the legislative branch when he judges such action to be neces sary or expedient The theory that the execu tive should withhold his presence entirely from the sacred precincts of the legislative chambers is long out of date. It had its beginning in the quarrel between Crown and Commons back in the sixteenth century in England. Royally commissioned governors sat in the legislative chambers in the colonies, to see that the will of the crown was carried out. When our republic was set up, its constitution was so framed as to divorce executive, legislature and judiciary, but left them co-ordinate in power. That ar rangement has not been disturbed. Experience has shown that the advice of the executive is both necessary and desirable to the proper preservation of the government at all times. This applies all the way down from Washington to the smallest community organ ized under a corporate charter. In a great ma jority of cities, and towns, the executive head sits and votes as a member of the council. The practice is good. To bar the approach of the president to the senate, or the senate to the president, as was the case a few months ago, is foreign to the plan or our government, and would result eventually in such a breach as might jeopardize our insti tutions. Those senators who so solemnly pro tested against Mr. Harding's addressing the sen ate in person to influence its action by his ad vice are relying on the carelessness of their listeners to score an uncertain point. End of a Costly Venture. When the railroad relief bill was passed by the house it was another step toward the final ettlement between the government and the railroads of all claims growing out of the period of government control. Whether in the end the measure will have the effect of restoring to usefulness the transportation industry, it is very certain to accomplish one thing. The bill as passed by the house contains a clause pro viding that acceptance of funds under the law will operate to forever bar such carriers from setting up any further claim, right, claim or demand of any kind or character against the United States growing out of, or connected with the posses sion, use, or operation of such carriers' prop erty by the United States during the period of federal control. What the American people are anxious to see is the end of an experiment that has so far cost the government $2,600,000,000, and will still further add to that figure by a considerable amount before the accounts are finally closed. Admitting that everything that was done as a , war emergency was done with good intent, and had the effect of sustaining the morale of the country, it remains true that many mistakes were made, and that none of these was greater than the effort to suddenly weld into one uni fied whole the vastly distributed and greatly diversified railroad system. It will be forgiven probably, but not until the drain on the treasury . incident thereto has ceased. ? j Extending the Muny Ice Plant Citizens will not protest the announced in tention of the Metropolitan Utilities District board to extend the municipal ice plant by pro viding storage for 20,000 tons additional. That will make the institution just that much more of service to the citizens. Moreover, it is in line with suggestion made by The Bee two years ago, that the plant be organized so as to make it of greater benefit to the public. Greater capacity for atorage is a step in the right direction; the plant will turn out 200 tons of ice a day, but this has scarcely served to meet demands during the present season. Al ready the flant has a storage capacity of 9,000 tons, and when the new house is filled the dis- trict can go into the summer of 1922 with a re tatrve of 29,000 tons, of sufficient to give that many more customers a chance to get the benefit of the price, which is a little less than half that charged by private concerns. Moreover, the limit of fifty pounds to a customer may be raised, and a little better grade of ice fur nished. So far the municipal ice plant has pro duced a handsome profit, which is not its prime purpose. If it is to justify its right to exist, it will be by giving service and not by making money. Make the Air Race Meet a Success. Members of the Omaha Aero club have achieved a great thing for their first time out. In landing the Pulitzer Trophy airplane race, they secured one of the greatest of modern at tractions. Flyers from foreign lands as well as from America are coming here to take part in the contest, which is international in its scope. The small group of young men who have worked this matter up to its present stage need assistance from the business men of the city to make it the success it should be. Already their efforts have brought publicity for Omaha to the tune of many columns of space in metropolitan papers. If the affair "flivvers" now, Omaha will get many additional columns of publicity, but it will not be of a pleasant sort. Conditions here are ripe for the greatest gathering of airmen ever assembled in the west. Out of this may come what will; some of those who are well posted think the results will be of immense advantage to the city. However that may eventuate, the present shows the pro moters have been working to put Omaha on the map again, and are in a fair way to get all they have started for, if only given a little sup port from the bigger interests of the city. The "boys" are doing a lot and asking for very little. The rest is up to Omaha's truly en terprising business men. Why Jefferis Hesitates. Some criticism of Congressman Jefferis is being indulged because he does not show as great enthusiasm for the "better babies" bill as might suit some of its ardent advocates. In sinuations made would give the impression that Mr. Jefferis is not in favor of improving condi tions of maternity and the chances for the baby to live. Anyone who knows "Big Jeff" knows how absurd is such an innuendo. If he has hesitated 'in his consideration of the Towner Shepard bill, it is for the same reason that Miss Alice Robertson of Oklahoma and some other able members of congress have debated with themselves and in public concerning the merits of the measure. None of these questions the purpose of the bill. It aims to accomplish a very desirable thing. To give instruction to prospective moth ers, to secure better care for them and for their infants, is worthy of the best attention. What gives rise to any opposition of weight that may be noted is the methods. Congressmen and senators are conscientiously reluctant to place on the general government any greater share of the burden that properly shall be borne by the states. Just now a great cry is going up all over the land, protesting against the expense of keeping up the government Economy is demanded on the one side, and yet a continually increasing expense is demanded by the advocates of this, that, or another bill that calls for the expendi ture of federal cash for objects that in all rea son should be paid for by the state. Not alone is the centralization of-power at "Washington regarded as a danger by some very able thinkers, but the centralization of expense it carries with it is even a greater cause for ap prehension. Such bills as the one under con sideration tarry authority as well as appropria tions, and each of them takes the government just that much farther away from the people of the states and lodges it under a bureaucracy at Washington. That is why Mr. Jefferis and those with him hesitate. Pennsylvania's Primary Plan. The old Keystone state is bothered about how to overcome one of the objections urged against the primary ballot, the difficulty of fairly arranging the names of candidates on the ballot. Disadvantages of the alphabetical order plan are so obvious that, it is abandoned in advance. Aaron Aables has a flying start over Zymotic Zbysko and this will not be per mitted to handicap the latter if it can be avoided. The scheme just adopted at Harris burg is to decide the place on the ballot by lot. Thus will some semblance of fairness be at tained, and perhaps justice be done. We might suggest that the Nebraska plan has some re deeming features, one of which is that every body fares alike. Names are listed in the order filings are made; then, when the ballot is printed, rotation begins, so that in time the name of each candidate appears at the top of the list on a certain number of ballots, and in turn occupies every place from top to bottom. This makes a lot of trouble for the printer, and costs a good deal more than if a single arrange ment were adhered to, but it does away with any charge that one or another of the candi dates is favored. Practical experience has shown, too, that voters will pursue a favored candidate all over the ticket in order to get a chance to put an "X" in the square opposite his name. Each primary election shows this to be the case. Pennsylvania might try the plan, which has worked out fairly well in Nebraska. The University of Pennsylvania did a de cent thing when it granted a year's leave of ab sence to General Wood, that he may become governor general of the Philippines. He will be of more service to the world in Manila than he would be in Philadelphia under present conditions. Henry Ford's railroad promises to furnish many interesting results, if all the tales told of it be true. Appropriation of $200,000 to enforce packer regulation suggests that the law is not a self-starter. In spite of prohibition, people from Europe still are trying to get into the United States. Fanama is inclined to be cocky, but may be induced also to be reasonable. Mississippi's senators are keeping up the record for talkativeness. - Rail Rates and Traffic, Some Figures That Demand a Little Consideration for the Auto. (From the New York Time.) The United States bureau of public roads states that 4,932,000,000 persons were carried by motor cars in 1920, as compared with only 1,234,222,889 paying passengers on the railways. Here, it will be said, is the explanation of the effect of competition in the reduction of railway travel, and a demonstration of the need of cut ting rates in order to stimulate movement of travelers. But, in fact, the number of passen gers carried by railways in 1920 was the greatest total on record. Passenger train miles also were a maximum at 46.724,880,000. There is no proof in the record that either competition or higher fares checked railway travel. During the war, when millions of soldiers, presumptive travelers, were "over there," there was a slight decrease, but this was corrected promptly on their return. It is also stated by the public roads bureau that 1,200,000,000 tons of freight were carried on motor trucks. This is less than half the total tonnage carried on the railways. The com parison shows how much less important to rail ways is passenger travel than freight traffic. But does not the loss of more than a billion tons of freight show that the railways are suc cumbing to motor competition? Appealing to the facts, it appears that the total ton miles on the railways, including paying and nonpaying freight, was also a maximum in 1920, and the increase of freight tonnage was greater than the increase in passenger travel. There is a suggestion that the trucks took the shorter hauls, and that the railways had to carry their tonnage longer distances. But that is a help to the railways, for they lose money on their short hauls and make their profits on long hauls. There is no freight commutation to distribute over the entire road the expenses of costly city terminals, and the latter are an unsettled prob- How to Keep Well By DR. W. A.

A Evono TOOTH CONDITION CHARTS, For six years the home office em- nloves of the Metropolitan Life In surance company have had their teeth cleaned and polished twice a year by direction of the company and at Its expense. A year ago over 26,000 such treatments had been given. When the teeth are cleaned and polished the employe ! given a chart showing the condition of each tooth and Advised as to any treatment needed. Whatever the practice now Is, In the beginning the treatment given by tne company dentists consisted In this cleaning, polishing.- examining and advising. Such treatments, of course, are of some service in preventing decay, Doubtless when the teeth are made clean and smooth the chance of de cay is decreased somewhat. Doubt less also a person whose teeth are cleaned and polished twice a year Is not likely to let them rot out pre maturely, or less likely to do so than be otherwise would be. But the main gain from the clean ing and polishing service is In the prevention of pyorrhoea, and pyorr hoea is the great tooth eraser in America. With us the teeth are lost because they drop out. Were it not for pyorrhoea most of us who reach adult life with good teeth would die still with good teeth. The cleaner and polisher removes tartar and cleans around the necks. A day or two after his Job has been done the gums are not red and boggy, but are firm and fit tight. There are a good many employes who began, the policy of having their teeth systematically cleaned as 1915.

Much of the traf-. Xmerlcan journal of Publlo Health. lit on an ludus, aim aunic ui uic iiaim uu man; roads, is done under conditions like those in the old wars of rates, when it is said that some roads quoted a cut-thrat rate, and routed over competitors to save losses in doing the busi ness. There is now a demand that the railways shall reduce their rates in order to increase the movement of traffic. Such cases should be left for correction by the initiative of the railways and the regulation of the Interstate Commerce commission. It is hard to believe that rates are checking railway traffic when it is at a maxi mum total. The present movement of farm products is astonishing. It shows that products move when the holders are satished with prices. There is bitter complaint of rates on fruits and vegetables, and there are some grounds for it But the - movement is 598,524 carloads up to July 2, against 315,597 last year. California and Florida lead the chorus of complainants that the railways are profiting by the rates on their products. But the record is that this year 48,732 carloads were shipped, against 40,700 last year. Dyes and Defense, Enemies of the move to give special and ex traordinary protection to the dye industry are wagiiiK a bitter battle on the grounds that such protection will place American consumers at the mercy of American plants. There is some thing in the argument; but has the country so quickly forgotten the lesson of the war in the matter of dye and chemicals? America relied entirely tpon Uerman dye stuffs before 1914. The German plants had slain calmly all attempts at creating an Amer ican dye industry. They had seriously handi capped the American chemical industry also. Recall 1915-16-17 drug and chemical prices. Carbolic acid rose to unheard-of figures. Coal- tar products in general soared to the ceiling and stayed there. Dyes immediately rose in price and refused to come down. Dyes were hoarded; hidden in deposit vaults, lantic City it was declared by the Why? Because we had a few chemical 0 tnat t'he j,, , hag .. come b'k.: says 27 per cent of those starting in 1915 had, at the time of his re port, mouths that were clean, gums that were tight, and teeth that were free of tartar; 25 per cent had con siderable tartar and inflammation of the gums, and 4S per cent were in between. Of those who started in 1918, only 10 per cent, at the time of his report, had teeth free from tartar and gums that were tight. In other words, the habit grows in them. Theey learn to like having a clean mouth. They have a new standard of mouth cleanli ness. It is not easy to keep the necks of the teeth clean and the gums tight even when the teeth are pol ished twice a year and brushed ev ery day. Tartar will accumulate around the roots and nocks of the back molars and the tongue side of the lower central Incisors unless these teeth are individually cleaned almost daijy. It would be interesting to know how much rheumatism and neuritis these few thousand employes have. Do they stay away from work cn ac count of rheumatism and neuralgic pains less often than do employes of the same age engaged in similar oc cupations whose teeth are not freed from tartar twice a year? Babies Are Xot Mean. D. I. I writes: "We have a baby boy 11 weeks old. He has colic. He weighed 6 pounds and 2 ounces when born. Now he weighs 9 pounds and 11 ounces. He is a breast fed baby. He cries for half an hour to three hours after each Revival of Bicycle. feeding. He gets from 3 to 4 ounces of milk at each feeding. We have had him on three-hour feeding plan, but he acted the name way, so we put him back on the four-hour schedule. He gets four day feedings and one night feeding at 10 p. m. Also drinks plenty of water be tween meals. What enn we do to stop his crying after feeding? Do you think it Just meanness or bad temper?" REPLY. Babies do not have collo because they are mean. They have It because their mothers are too good to them. They feed them too much good rich milk. Try feeding the baby less. Keep him at the breast a shorter time. Keep him satisfied by giving him more water. For those cases of colic which cannot be cured by les sening the diet Grulee uses a good active culture of lactic told bacilli and 15 grains of pure powdered casein, made into a paste ind given before each nursing. The Anti-Social Onion. C. S. writes: "Does the peeling Of a whole orange contain the same amount of vitamlne us a fresh yeast cake? "2. Are green onions and ripe tomatoes supposed to be vegetables containing vitamines? "a. Why do green onions some times make one feel drowsy? REPLY. 1. I do not think so but no one has measured the vitamlne contents very accurately. There Is no ac curate measure for them. 2. Yes. 8. I do not know unless it is from lack of the stimulus from compan ions. People who eat onions or take asafetlda or valerian generally have to entertain themselves. When Baby's Constipated. Mrs. F. M. G. writes: "1. Please tell me what is good for constipa tion in a baby 9 months old. She was put on Mellin's food at 4 months and was fine for awhile, but now Is constipated most of the time. 2. She weighed 8 pounds at birth and at 6 months weighed 16, and now at 9 months weighs 18. Is this about right? 3. Is the operation for piles dangerous?" REPLY. 1. The malt foods and malt sug ars are slightly laxative. With many babies fruit Juices are laxative. So are thin cereal gruels and clear vegetable soups. 2. Yes. 3. No. "Chuck Him Out." England officially requests our War department to prohibit the wearing of the uniform by American officers and men in the United King dom. We distinctly, remember when, a few years ago, the folk of the United Kingdom were very glad to see the Yankee uniform rather nu merously represented in certain quarters. Cincinnati Enquirer. Cardinal Principles From the Baltimore American. At the fifth annual convention of tne Cycle Trades of America at At works of importance and no dye-making plants, We found it necessary to start from the foun dations. Men had to be trained, processes im provised and ten years of research and experi mentation done in two. Germany's chemical and dye plants were the most powerful of all the German arms for war. In the end they counted for more than Aus tria's Skodas or the Krupps of Essen. Modern war is a battle of chemicals and explosives, gases and formulae. The world is talking disarmament, but it has not disarmed. A nation without its own dye and chemical resources is a helpless ag glomeration of humanity in case of trouble. Blockades can render it helpless, tor it takes time to create such industries after an emer gency comes. Unless we want the rejuvenated Uerman firms to walk calmly in and take over the busi ness they had prior to 1914, the business that Americans have now taken over, there must be a very high tariff or an embargo. It doesn t matter greatly which, but one or tne otner is necessary. The Germans want that business back. Ihey are prepared, to, as of old, cut rates and cut them again to get it.. Uo we want to dritt back into the same helpless shape we were in 1V14 17? Philadelphia Ledger. Greatest Man in the World. A correspondent of our neighbor the Eve ning Post has been quizzing, among the scholarly shades of Wiluamstown, certain great men to find out who was the greatest man the war pro duced. Viscount Bryce named a trio Mazaryk, Venizelos and Smuts. Baron Korff, remarking that he hated Lenine, doubted whether there was a greater man in the world than the soviet dictator. Other scholars made such widely different selections as Wilson, Keynes and Debs. Our own nomination for greatest man in the world is John Smith. He was the greatest man the war produced, for he made the guns and the shells, the ships and the tanks, the tents and the trenches. He manned the fleets, submarines and airplanes. He went over the top. John Smith was the greatest man in the world in the old stone age and he will continue to be so until that drear time when the stand ardized human being predicted by H. G. Wells has arrived. It is John Smith who plows and harvests, writes and reads, loves and hates. He makes clothes and composes ballads, mows lawns and runs banks. He gives 25 cents for a collar or twenty-five billions for a war with equal grace. He pays the way ot the Mazaryks, venizeioses and Smutses. .' Remove John Smith from the world and what famous statesman could keep on living? New York Herald. Disarm and Pay.

New York Times. 2 with such emphasis that in the next 10 years more bicycles will be sold annually than when the fad for rid ing them was at its height. He says at first it was a plaything and when the public tired of it was thrown aside, but it never gave up, ond after an uphill fight has now been restored to popularity as a business necessity in competition with the bus and the street car. Its rejuvenation, he asserts, is without precedent in the history of American industry. The present generation can re member when bicycle riding amounted to a craze and men, women and children rode wheels with equal ardor. The bicycle be came a society fad and not to be an accomplished cyclist was to com mit a social sin. Then the craze wore itself out, and to see a woman now on a wheel is almost as much of a curiosity as it was in the day when the old high "ordinary" was first succeeded by the low wheel. But there is no doubt lhat the bi cycle was instrumental in raising the standard of health, particularly for women, and that it accomplished much in helping to develop their present liberty in allowing them an open-air sport on equality with men. If the popularity of the bicycle re turns in moderate degree as a busi ness aid and a pleasure to those who know how to use it, the public will be the gainers. Only the risk of the motor car on street and road will render its use liable to more danger than in the old days, when it had no such powerful competition for the right of way. Still, it will be interesting to watch how the rev olutions of progress have sympathet ically brought back the old and reliable "wheel." Treaty With Germany From the New York World. Hiram Johnson, according to re ports from Washington, is "all het up" because he cannot learn some thing about the separate peace ne gotiations that the Harding admin istration is conducting with the Ger man government. Surely the senator from California does not intend to make a fuss about a little thing like that. To be sure, there is a complete absence of in formation as to the nature and scope of these negotiations. In fact, the State department has never publicly admitted that it had submitted pro posals to Berlin, but that is neither here nor there. Secret diplomacy is a vice of democratic administrations. It cannot happen under a republican administration, and if it happens it is not secret diplomacy. It is necessary that a democratic president be compelled to carry on all foreign relations publicly in La fayette Square to the accompaniment of the Marine band in order that the populace may know exactly what is going on at every step in the pro ceeding, but when a republican president is in office concessions must be made to the ordinary ameni ties of diplomacy. Hiram Johnson in duo time will find out about the treaty with Ger many. Mr. Harding will jubmit to the senate and point out the dotted l'ne on which the senate is to sign. And the senate will sign, because Mr. Harding is a republican and the sen ate is republican. Its concern about open diplomacy applies only to democrats. From the Toronto Mall and Empire. The three cardinal principles upon which the United States will rely at the disarmament conference are stated to be: Open door in far east, integrity of China, and integrity of Russian Siberia. There is nothing in tnese principles that Japan can legitimately object to. Undoubtedly the Tokio delegates will stress what is known as the Lanslng-Ishli agree ment, which recognized a preferen tial position for Japan in the foreign relations of China because of Japan's economic leadership of the far east, and her poximity to China. But that agreement did not convey to Japan any consent from the United states to exercise any exclusive rights in China. It did not abandon the "open door" policy. The 21 de mands pressed on China by Japan during the war were a masterstroke to bring Chinese administration un der Japanese influence, if not direct control, and were at no time con sidered to be consistent with Chinese integrity. They included a require ment that Japan install officials at Pekin to assist in the direction of Chinese foreign relations, that Japan be first called upon for financial or other help, that Japan have a fa vored trade position, and in other ways were peculiarly objectionable. As far as Siberia is concerned, the Japanese remained long after other nations withdrew their forces. The example of Korea is fresh in the minds of the world, and illustrates well that Japan is still ruled by mili tarists whose general outlook re sembles that of the war lords of Ber lin. Apparently Japan does not want to engage in the conference, but cannot well be absent. For Nations to Remember. In Paris Lloyd George pointed out that what saved France in the late war was the Justice of its cause, which eventually ranged all the free nations at its side, and he sounded a very solemn warning that if in future its causes was unjust it would stand alone. That Is true of all nations a fact which may well be remembered next autumn at Washington. New York Times. Where Wine Is a Common Drink.
