New Party for Nebraska.
While the formation of a political party in
Nebraska holds nothing of novelty, the ex
' perience being not in any sense unusual, some
degree of importance may attach, to the pro
ceedings at Lincoln. It is a definite answer
to the "well founded rumor" that has occu
pied a leading place in all political gossip for
some weeks. A new party is to be set up, in
viting to its ranks all who are dissatisfied with
the program, and, apparently, the personnel, of
the existing political groups. That these may
not experience anything of restraint or irk
lomeness incident to strange surroundings, a
prospectus has been prepared, sufficiently com.
prehensive to merit the approval even of old
Mokanna, whose expressed formula ftas:
That Prophet 111 beflta his holy call
Who finds not heavens to suit the wants of all.
While we note among those present our
good friend Arthur G. Wra'y of York, whose
energetic bent to reform things has led him
away from his rather tenuous allegiance to the
republican party, we find him playing second
fiddle to our even more valued and illustrious
friend, Edgar Howard of Columbus, whose
gonfalon has waved over many a forlorn hope
. in Nebraska, and whose white plume has ever
bcen noted in the thickest of the .fray when a
new party is being organized. Judge Howard is
a most valuable acquisition to the group, as his
experience as a member of all the old and most
of the new parties gives him authority to speak
when another great uprising of the people is
about to eventuate.
Equally notable in the group is Hon. Floyd
L. Bollen of Lancaster, once thought likely to
become a great tower of strength in the demo-
. cratic ranks, and whtf was at one time strongly
touted for speaker of the house in the legisla
v ture. Thus we have assurance that all the
"strength of the new party is not to.be drawn
from republican ranks. Discouraged democrats
are seeking relief in change asw.ellx - ,
The Bee congratulates the new party on its
resolve tostand oh' its own feet, and not to
make the undercover attempt to secure place
byv secretly wearing the party label of another
group. Let it standboldly forth, proclaiming
its principles and its purposes, and then, if it be
found worthy, it will gain- success. If not, it
will hold its own self-respect. ;, At lcast.it will
'afford a safety-valve for those who feel the urge
to speak and are not sufficientlpotent to. com

Bit of Political Buncombe. '
v Senator Reed of Missouri once more gives
evidence of his skill as a statesman by indi
rection. His most notable achievement in con
gress is the so-called Reed amendment, a rider"
attached to a postoffice appropriation bill, which
was to exclude intoxicating liquor from inter
state commerce in dry territory. Now he takes
vup the postponed soldiers' bonus bill and offers
it as an amendment to the pending revenue
measure.' Few will be simple enough to bet
lieve that any sincerity of purpose lies behind
this move. It is simply an adroit attempt to
confuse the republican majority m the senate,
- and to extract a little political capital from a'
delicate situation. Coupling the measure with
the excess profits tax, the Missouri senator hopes
to embarrass the majority, as well as to provide
the minority with ammunition for another bar
rage fire against the time when they will be
called upon to face the voters at the polls in
1922. However . transparent the dodge, it will
be used, and we may be very sure that the
,Woods of Missouri will ring next year with, the
shouts that the president's party refused to pass
the soldiers' bonus bill and did repeal the ex-
cess profits tax, all at the behest of the cohorts
of , capitalism and against the utmost efforts
of the democratic senator from Kansas City,
who was thrown out of the convention at San
. Francisco last year for being out of line with
his party, and who must do something to re
gain his standing or forfeit re-election. If Mis
souri voters want buncombe and "hokum,"
"Jimmy". Reed is the boy who can give it to
them.
Good Health, Good Business. 4 '
Tuberculosis is commonly thought of as
a disease peculiar to human beings, but it is
also one of the greatest menaces to the live
stock industry. Not only does this impoverish
the herds of cattle and hogs, but it actually
spreads the contagion, through the medium of
infected milk, to man. Congressman Jefferis,
in urging the agricultural committee of the
house to push through an appropriation for
eradicating this plague on . the farm, speaks in
behalf of no single interest
The campaign against tuberculosis in cattle,
which was begun three years ago, has made
much headway, but it ought not to be allowed
to languish through ill-advised governmental
economy. The rapidity with which control may
be obtained varies with the amount of money
devoted to the purpose. Some idea of the im
mensity of the task, in which federal and state
authorities have co-operated, may be gained
from the statement that 695,000 animals were
last year for tuberculosis, and 28,616
which, reacted tittitvorsbly were killed. The
lots in such ce does not fall entirely upon
the farmer, but is borne in part from public
funds, st is only jut since the fault i no one
mu ' mid is advisable furthermore as reducing
the temptation to conceal in lection.
Many herd of dairy cattle are now on the
waiting lift for inspection. In some regions
the diee spreads unabated. In every way
a haiard, it a control should not be endangered.
To the public' it means health, to the farmers,
minimizing one of their risks.

Men Who Do Things.
The aviation contest is to be held, niter
many weeks of uncertainty. On every hand
there had been vacillation and doubt. The un
dcruking is an ambitious one, such as would
appeal most forcibly to the younger, more ad
venturous and less experienced men of Omaha,
The conservative interests of the city, as repre
sentcd by the Chamber of Commerce, from the
first were inclined to hold aloof. Then, at the
eleventh hour, an entire change in policy was
made, and the air congress was saved for
Omaha.
This event is destined to be a big one,
present plans succeed. But it is not too big
for Omaha. The capacity of the city for stag
ing national and international events is to be
measured only by one thing: the willingness
of men of wealth and influence to exert them'
selves for the public benefit.
The sturdy, energetic and fearless generation
that built Omaha has passed. Their successors,
equal in push and enthusiasm, have not ap
peared to take up the task. Too many have
been unwilling to take off their coats and pitch
in for the upbuilding of the city. There has
been in some respects a lack of civic spirit.
Now, however, strong hands have taken
hold of thc aviation project, exerting every
muscle to push it to success. Omaha, already
one of the important centers of air mail, has
an advantage in this coming method of trans
portation that few cities possess, and the ex
hibition will add to this. It needs men who
will do things not only for themselves, but for
the name and fame of the community. Too
much appreciation can not be shown the men
who have assured te air meet. If they are
given the encouragement and support they de
serve, the truly western spirit of old-time
Omaha will come back, as big as life and twice
as natural.
"It's Imported."
What the attraction is would be hard to
analyze, but the mere mention that an article
is imported increases the regard in which it is
held. A dinky vase that no one would ordinarily
look at twice may become the principal item
of the bric-a-brac in a well-furnished rqom
merely because it has been brought in from
broad. Everything from toothpicks to hats,
rugs and dress goods acquires added charm
from overseas origin.
In times past this reputation has been played
upon, it has Deen cnargea tnat Detore tne days
of stringent regulation, cottonseed . oil was
shipped from Texas to Italy and then brought
back in bottles to America as imported olive
oil. Soap, toothpaste and luxuries of the toilet
till bear French names although many of them
originated in New York and New England.
r Perhaps the illusion, bred in the days when
American industry was not yet diversified or
developed, that goods made in Europe are better
in quality, is responsible. Handcrafts still per
sist over there, as among the glass blowers of
Belgium, but for the most part foreign products
are machine made as are our own. Some main
tain that British cloth is. more durable than any
made in this country, and the reputation of years
still clings to their fine steel. "Made in Ger
many" was once a mark of distinction, although
there were skeptics who asserted that these
articles were for the most part shoddily built.
Some of the soldiers who returned home with
marvclously cheap French gloves also found
ow soon they split and wore out. .
' And yet the magic of importation continues
allure. Taken by and large, American
products are as satisfactory in quality and price
as the output of foreign mills. American manu
facturers and workmen are as thorough and
painstaking as those abroad, and the vision of
excellence which is called by the phrase,, "It's
imported," is only a -mirage.

Roosevelt and Railroads
Letter to Lyman Abbott
it Timely at the Present
The following tetter, sent by Theodore Roo.c
vclt to Dr. Lyman Abbott, in September, 1916,
is published by J he Uuilnok:
September 2, 1916,
My Dear Doctor Abbott:
I hope you liked my speech at Lewitton.
wikh to express my obligation to you for the
admirable suggestions you made to me, ana
which I worked into the latter part of the
speech.
Now a word as to the action of Wilton in
the railroad strike writer. I had prepared an
interview to give out, and read it to GiUon
Gardner, and then on talking it over with
htm and two or three others, came to the con
elusion that it would do no good, and niiuht
embarrass Hughes, and might abo interfere
with Wilson and yet without accomplishing any
thing myself. In case of doubt as whether to
soeak or remain silent, it is better to be silent
so 1 keot silence! But I feel very deeply and
very indignantly at what Mr. WiUon has done.
I think it is as foolish and as wicked to DacK
any labor union which is wrong as to back
any great corporation which is wrong. It nukes
no difference to the state whether we suffer
from a White Terror or a Red Terror; whether
the tyranny is that of the ministers or Louis
A V., or mat Ol noocspicrrc, uamon tuu aaarai.
I have a right to say what Wilson should do:
became I would ask him to do nothing more
than I did at the time of the anthracite coal
strike. Then the mine-owners said there was
nothing to arbitrate. I got the consent of a
commission, with Grover Cleveland at the head,
to serve, and arranged for the United States
army to run the mines if there was any delay
in accepting arbitration, in such cases tne tnree
parties in interest are I, the property owners;
2. the laborers: 3. the public, and the president
should act primarily as the representative of
the public, of the people ot the nation as a
whole; for this is a national question. Here
I should tell the railroad owners and the heads
of the brotherhood that I would appoint a com
mission which would have included men like
Raymond Robbins and Patrick Morrissey, and
that everv Question, without any reservation
would be,put before that commission, and that
I would tolerate no action by congress in ad
vance of the report of that commission, and
that I would tolerate no tie-up of the transporta
tion systems of the country, and that I would
use the entire armed forces of-the country, if
necessary, to run the railroads pending the de
cision of the commission. I would have also
stated that I would see that the commission had
the power to interpret and enforce its decrees,
so that the men need have no fear that thc
railroad managers and owners would twist that
arbitration so as to bear against them. I would
also have haa the commission look into the
whole question of rates, which must necessarily
be considered in connection with the question
of wages, and of interest charges, and of salaries
to managers. As an incident to this, it would
be necessary to look into the question of capi
talization. I do not believe there should be
any attempt to upset or penalize over-capitalization
which occurred a number of years ago;
but, without attempting to draw an exact line,
I believe that any cases of over-capitalization
in the last tew years snouia oe severely penal
ized: for all of the public have had full notice
during the last few years that over-capitalization
was one of the elements which would have
to be dealt with in handling the railroad prob
lem; and it was their business before subscribing
to the bonds or stock under these conditions to
take thought of what they were doing.
Faithfully yours, ,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

York City.

Recalling a State Administration.
Unofficial returns from more than half the
precincts of North Dakota indicate that Gov
ernor Lynn J. Frazier has been recalled by the
citizens of that state, and with him two other
of the state's principal officers endorsed by the
Nonpartisan league. Only on one ground can
this result be accounted for, that the citizens
of North Dakota have grown weary of the pro
gram of paternalism introduced there under
Townley, and which has not borne the fruit
promised by its visionary promoters. Millions
of dollars of public funds have been invested in
state-promoted activities, which ' include about
everything in the way of social service, whether
publicly or privately conducted. Along with the
public money enormous, sums collected in the
name of the Nonpartisan league have also been
expended. We have no inclination to debate
the wisdom or unwisdom of the Townley pro
jects, preferring to accept the verdict of the
people who have been most directly affected by
them. North Dakota apparently has had enough
of the experiment, which has cost so much, and
the end whereof will not be until the bonds
issued in the name of the state by the Townley-
ites are finally redeemed. Nebraska may well
look before it accepts the proffer of Arthur G.
Wray to do as much for this state as Townley
id for North Dakota. The recall of Governor
Frazier may not be the end of the paternalistic
movement, but it is a mighty solemn indication
of how it is regarded by the folks who have
been closest to it. .
It is now respectfully asked if the Superior
Shifters, who have petitioned for the employment
of the idle on the construction of two coast-to-coast
concrete roads, plan to run both of them

Teachers' Problem of Living.
"How do teachers live?" asks Chief Justice
Taft, and he thinks "the prospect of cruel lifelong
poverty for most of its members" must have a
detrimental effect on the teaching profession for
years to come, the New' York World says. Con
tinuing, the article recites: "Perhaps ministers
and other low-salaried professional workers who
have had to worry along under the higher cost
of living can best answer the question. Teachers
are peculiarly the victims of economic conditions
in the sense that the greater the general prosperity
the more difficult it becomes for them to make
ends meet. For the last five years they have
been feeling the pinch of the cruel poverty to
which Chief Justice Taft alludes to an extent
unparalleled in recent history. That the condi
tion should have an adverse effect on the future
of the profession by driving teachers into other
occupations is obvious." '

"Why Should Omaha People
Buy Omaha-Made Goods?"
Here are some prize-winning answers
from Omaha's younger citizens:
' If New Milk. Yes. .
Mrs. A. I. writes: "Am a nursing
mother and drink plenty of cold
milk. Is it necessary for me to boil
the milk before cooling it in order
to kill the germs?"
REPLY.
If you buy raw milk it is. If you
buy pasteurized milk it is not.
Careful Treatment Kssentlal.
. A. writes: "1. How high should
be the blood pressure of a woman
of 35 weighing 225 pounds?
"2. What is cardio-vascular de
generation?
"3. Can a systollo murmur at
apex be cured?
"4. Would this trouble develop
rapidly if let alone?"
reply!
1. About 128. ,
2. The term is used to Imply dis
ease of the heart and blood vessels
in which there is a good deal of loss
of tone.
3. If the systolic murmur occurs
in a case of cardio-vascnlar degen
eration there is no likelihood that
it can be cured in a proper sense.
If properly treated the symptoms
might disappear and the patient be
come comfortable and efficient
4. The chances are that a person
with a systolic heart murmur heard
at the apex, and with considerable
cardio-vascular degeneration, would
go down hill rather rapidly, if left
alone. -
The "Man to See."
It is an old and familiar figure in Tammany
politics that the Meyer committee has detected
lurking in some of the departments of the city
government. He is "the man. to see." . . .
Why not try electing officials who can them
selves see the "men to see," and, having seen,
can put an end to their suspicious and disgraceful
brokerage in the city's business? New York
Times.
An Honor Yet to Come .
It is said that the degree of doctor of medi
cine has been conferred upon General Luden
dorff by a German university, "because he saved
so many lives during the war." The Pittsburgh
Christian Advocate remarks somewhat caustic
ally that the Nobel peace prize has not yet been
offered to him. Watchman Examiner.
Otherwise, Everybody in Autos!
The Massachusetts registrar of motor vehi
cles reports that of 148 fatalities only 49 occu
pants of automobiles were killed, the others being
pedestrians. This suggests, that means must -be
found to make people walk faster. Shoe and
Leather Reporter. -
"Ain't ' Science Wonderful?"
Anxious Mother writes: "Would
greatly appreciate your advice for
children from six months to 2 years
old who hold their breath when
crying. Is it temper, or is the child
exhausted, and can something be
done for it?"
REPLY.
It is. The treatment is social, not
medical. An English school maga
zine recently had a very long and a
very scientific discussion as to the
point where treatment 1 should be
applied. The learned disputant
Anally agreed on certain masses of
muscles amidshtp of the posterior

LIFTED UP.
A little child In tears cornea by;
Ybu lift her chin and look into her eye,
And speak soft words of comfort and of
cheer.
Until she smiles and you have coma so

The lifting up and bringing to tha inn
The pitiful heartache of a little one!
When I so up to meet the judgment word
I hope that I'll be able to reply
To every question that mln ears nave
heard
"I lifted up some heart that lift made
cry!"
For I would rather have done that In life
Than won the glorious triumphs of the
strife. .
The sad are many and th (ay are few.
And there Is little else that we can do
That counts so much as lifting, day by day.

GRAND PRIZE
"WHY SHOULD OMAHA PEOPLE BUY OMAHA-MADE
GOODS?"' Because it encourages Omaha' Industry, Wealth and
Growth:
INDUSTRY: Because Omaha Merchants who have calls for
OMAHA-MADE GOODS will naturally give a spur to the Omaha
Manufacturers; this in turn will necessitate the giving of more
employment to Omaha people.
WEALTH: The Omaha Manufacturers will find their Bank
Accounts increasing, and the large output of their goods will de
mand larger buildings thus the laborers of Omaha will share in
the increasing wealth.
GROWTH: People of other cities looking sround for a loca
tion will be rttracted by the prosperity of Omaha and will come
to our city in large numbers.

Ignorance to Blame.
Lyme, N. H., Oct. 23. To
Editor of The- Bee:
I always like a busy little bee.
Therefore, I'll write a line of love to thee.
I have Just read in the Boston
Transcript the following quotation
from you:
"Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
announces that the depression is all
over. All over what?"
. To which I would reply: All over
the world, except silk-stockinged
America, where we still have high
prices, and ' high prices" Is another
name for prosperity.
It is true we are war taxed and
we were before we entered the war,
and will be while we and our chil
dren's children live; but we are
neither hungry or naked and not
likely to be. We have been suffer
ing for eight years from the dom
ination of ignorance, but now we
have a protective tariff and will
have for a period of years. So
cheer up, the worst is not to come.
I do fear some further inflation.
Cotton has gone up 6 or 7 cents' and
silk 2.70 per pound.
In the Library of Congress there
are quotations in mosaic. "Ignorance
Is the Curse of God," and "Knowl
edge Is the Power by Which We Fly
to Heaven." I don't know about
this, but I am satisfied that ignor
ance is the curse of the world, and
that labor unionism is the child of
ignorance. There will be plenty of
work when men will work for a
reasonable price. Gompers and his
like are the real ana only exploit
ers of "labor." All labor needs to
do is to wake up and accept what
it can get. The eight-hour day is
only 80 per cent of normal, ana
this alono will always keep costs
high or as long as it continues.

Plea for the Farmer.
Doniphan, Neb., Oct. 25. To the
Editor of The Bee: I see a letter
in The Bee to Mr. Hoover in re
gard to the unemployed from our
governor, stating that tne farmers
should board these unemployed men
during the winter. I would like to
ask how many of these men our
governor will take and board during
the winter, or till spring work opens
uo again, and how many of the
other big salaried men are going to
give board to these unemployed
men, for our governor only states
that the farmer should look after
the unemployed, when he has sac
rificed nearly all already, planting
high-priced seed, giving his time and
his family's, use his machinery, etc.
Now he has to sell his wheat and
corn for almost nothing. Every
thing what the farmer raises has
gone down in value. But his taxes
are going up all the time. Many
of these farmers haven't raised
