World Likes the Program.
First expressions of opinion as to the pro
gram for reduction of naval armament, submitted
to the conference by the American delegates,
sound a single note, that of delighted surprise.
Xo di.sent hai been noted anywhere. It would
be expecting too much, however, to look for the
adoption of the plan without thorough examina
tion. However attractive it is on its surface, and
vc believe that its beauty is more than skin deep,
iU elements are such as necessitate careful in
quiry and deliberation before final action can be
taken.
Some idea of or.e of the phases of the prob
lem may be hid from perusal of the article from
the Montreal Star, published 6n this page today.
While the Star is liberal in its politics, it is in
tensely pro-British, and perhaps expresses the
extreme vnws on the point, yet it will find much
support among loyal Englishmen, who want to
know that their interests are safe.. They have
long relied upon their own strength, and will be
loath to give over what they consider a secure
refuge that they may join in something thai ap
pears to many of them as essentially experi
mental. Japan, too, will have misgivings arising
from similar causes.
Lord Northcliffe may or may not voice
British opinion in his statement that all the
forces of the empire would be arrayed on the
side of the United States in event of war with
Japan." It will be well to take such expressions
at. their face value, bat to rely finally, as we have
at all times, on our own resources. England
naturally expects to do the same. If some un
derstanding may be reached between the two
great nations on the point, it -will be to the ad--vantage
of all, Japan need not be excluded from
this, although the tripartite alliance discussed in
. a tentative way during the last summer need not
be established. , ''' :j' . " '"'"
So. far as present' day conditions are con-.

effectively, and, as time goes on, tins may lead to

protect the future!' for as experience proves its
desirability, the bond will grow stronger, just as
in case of relations between the United States
and Canada. In this, too, advantage for Japan

at which moat of them can gather. The Gipsy

the bedrock of Christianity. The magnetism of

The message that he left is so simple as to be
almost rerortrtionary in these days of panacea

lermons, "The troubles of the world are out
Via disease." Tinkering with this or that iymp
torn ot deep-lying distress, he preaches, does not
promise lasting relief. True to this standard, he
did not waste his energy in denunciation of ipe
cifc evils, but pounded with all his power on
the one essential that the heart of man be made
tound. It is the brotherhood of man tint he
preaches. Obtain that, or even let it be made
an aim, and not only the symptoms, but the di
ease itself will start to disappear.
As this lesson is taken to heart, so will Omaha
be benefited by its month of revival services.
Cleveland Hires a Manager.
Cleveland, O., city four times as large as
Omaha, has adopted the city manager form of
government. The political machines fought bit
terly against the plan and as a result failed even
to elect the mayor who will hold office next
year, when the new system will go into effect.
The control of this great municipality has passed
from the hands of the office-seeking class as
completely as it did in 1901 when Tom Johnson
took the mayor's chair. -
The story of this victory bears out the
declaration of N. A. Kemmish, city manager of
one of the livent towns in Nebraska, Alliance,
that improved municipal administration will
never come from the politicians, but only through
leaders in the work-a-day world. Before the pro
posal was submitted to the voters of Cleveland
it was given two years' study by a committee of
fifteen which included business men, engineers,
professors who had made a life-long study of
the science 6f government, and other representa
tive citizens. Finally two separate' plans were
drafted, one 'with a provision for proportional
voting and the other without. These were sub
mitted to each civic organization for discussion
'and choice.
Under the charter agreed upon and approved
by the voters, a council of twenty-five will be
elected from four districts by proportional rep.'
reservation. These will choose a city manager.
Ashtabula has used this system of balloting with
success for six years, and no doubt its neighbor
was influenced by this. Briefly, it is a method
to prevent the possibility of 49 per cent of the
people being without representation. If any
group in one of the four" districts polls a vote,
say of two-fifths, instead of being shut out, it
will ba given two-fifths representation. The
method is one of expressing a first, second and
third choice on the. ballot. By it no boss, by de
livering a block of a few thousand votes, can
control the destinies of the people.
As thus constituted, commission manager
rule is not only thoroughly businesslike, but more
democratic than any other system. Eventually
Omaha will come to some such decision. But
not until new leaders, free, from the buzz of
political bees and with the desire for the. public
good strong in their hearts, arise, and not even
then unless the civic organizations line up to
their support.' . , .-
As the Other Fellojv Sees It.
It is not only true that half the world does
not know how the other half lives, but it is also
-& fact that until late years it has not much
cared.' Now, however, on every hand is to be
noted a sincere effort to understand the" view
point of the other fellow. It is hard to gain this
comprehension of another class or race unless
one is intimately acquainted with the problems of
their environment. '
' In realization of this, and as an aid to. inter
national peace, came the plan for exchange pro
fessorships and exchange students "among the
great, universities of various nations. A similar
titea is being adopted among the diverse groups
that make up America. One need not go out
side of Omaha fof an example , for here the
Chamber of Commerce has invited a number of
leading farmers to speak before it. In Boston
(he Other day a curious exchange has lately oc
curred. There seven clergymen put on overalls
and went to work in the building trades for one
day. In a pelting rain Rev. Harry Freda drove
a cement wagon, while Rev. Newton C. Fetter
and Rev; C. A. Young worked as laborers on a
new high school building and four of their col
leagues of the cloth did other odd jobs.
This strange departure was on'invitatiou from
the Centra! Labor union, and came in return for
the clergymen's courtesy in asking labor leaders
to speak from their pulpits. Spectacular and sen
sational as some will deem this exchange, yet it
has served a useful purpose Sind symbolizes Jhe
modern spirit of reaching 'out toward broader
sympathies and comprehension. There was a
carpenter years ago who preached a message
treasured through the centuries. He had the
universal point of vie w the same thing that
these ministers and workingmen of Boston are
striving to obtain.
The Unbroken Courage of the Farmer.
Completion of a $2S,000 rural high school,
reported from Loup City, indicates the unfalter
ing faith in the future which sustains the farm
ing communities of Nebraska. Prosperity will
return to agriculture, and no one knows this
better than the farmers. They are not to be
driven back to the condition of the European
peasants or to give up any of the conveniences
and advantages that through their intelligent ef
fort they have made as much a part of their life
as they are for those who dwell in the cities.
The country community which erected this
modern consolidated high school has seerved no
tice on the nation that it will not consider lower
ing its standard of living or denying its children
access to higher education. Other nations may
depend upon a coolie class, ignorant, impov
erished and content with bare subsistence, but
American farmers are not to be reduced to any
such level.
Instead of going backward, rural life is
destined to push forward, broadening instead of
narrowing. It must be, and will be, brought to
such a-position of opportunity and profit that no
one need leave it in order to obtain the comforts,
the educational and cultural advantages, or the
wages and profits, which are now thought of as
only to be found in the cities. This is largely
in the hands of the rural residents themselves.
The depression which covers the food producing
regions is bound to pass, and it is a promising
thing that the spirit and courage which marked
the life of the pioneers is still unbroken in Ne-braska.
Railroad revenues continue to show an en
couraging increase, and may yet reach the point
where the magnates will cease to worry.

Britain and America
Some Aspect of Relations as
Vis wed by Canadian Editor.
(From the Montreal Star.)
Lord Northcliffe has been telling Japanese
newapuper men at Manila that, tt war should
come between Japan and the United States, "the
whole family of British nations would stand be
side the United States just as the United States
people had stood beside the British in the still
, j d . r '
smouldering connagrauon oi .urope.
Thii is undoubtedly the feeling of "the man
on the street" anywhere in the empire. Lord
Northcliffe has well expressed the 'foreign
policy" of the average Britiaher, so far as the
Jap-American situation goes. And the aforesaid
average Britisher will read with a relish that he
said these blunt things to Japanese journalists in
the city of Manila, which would conceivably be
the first point of attack if Japan were to go to
war with the United States.
As one reads these plain words from the
British journalist who has most accurately hit
popular opinion ir the United Kingdom, one
wonders why the British government does not
take this same outspoken and direct course and
then a second thought crops up as to whether
after all the direction of'the foreign policy of a
world-wide empire is as simple as all this. If
the Northcliffe policy is the right policy, then
there is no real need for a Washington confer
ence; for if the British forces are to be
automatically added to the American forces in
case of war with Japan, no matter what the issue,
then there will be no war, no matter what de
mands the United States may make or refuse.
Japan would never dream of risking war with
the British and American navies fighting to
gether.
Again, in that case, there is no Pacific naval
problem. Japan is a fairly bad third as it stands.
She can possibly defend her home waters; but
no one imagines that she would cross the Pa
cific and fight on this side, even if America
fought alone. But with the British on the side
of the United States, the Japanese navy would
have to spend the war safely, locked up in the
inland sea.
: But is it all as simple as that?'
Arc the British ministers imbeciles to let the
Anglo-Japanese treaty endure another hour? Are
the Americans, mad to waste their money on
warships to fight the weaker Japanese when the
outbreak of the war would see the entire British
navy added instantly to their forces? , ..
Let us say at once that if this automatic co
operation between the two navies were mutual
and reciprocal, Lord Northcliffe s pleasing dream
would be exceedingly near realization. But would
the American people agree today that, in case of
any British war, their navy would automatically
support us? Would they so much as consider
an offensive and defensive military or naval a!
liance with us? It is notorious that they would
not.
They take the view whether it be right or
wrong that American foreign policy must be
guided wholly by American interests and aspira
tions: that they and they- alone must be the
judges on every occasion "whether they will fight.
They are so strictly and immovably nationalistic
in this regard that they would have nothing to
do with the League of Nations, largely because
it looked like "an entangling alliance," and tbey
would not even consider the suggestion that they
should ally themselves with the British for the
single, definite and altogether reasonable purpose
of guaranteeing the safety of France in case Ger
many aeain attacked. -
There is no use blinking facts like these. We
may not like them. We do not like them. But
there they are. Clearly, if there is to be an
automatic pooling of the navies under any cir
cumstances, it-will be wholly on our side. Much
as we love the Americans, and instinctively as
our svmoathies would go out to them m any
war at all and especially with an Asiatic power
we must pay heed to the fact that the tradi
tional and still authentic American message to us
says very plainly that we must row our own
boat and guard our own empire.
That being so, British statesmanship naturally
turns with British doggedness and the hoary ex
perience of centuries to the grim task of guard
ing our outer marches. The friendship of Japan
is a far larger question to the British empire
than the remote and readily removable danger
of a quarrel with the United States. Japan is the
only effective power today in Asia. I he Chinese
do not like this condition, but they fail to take
the obvious and easy way to work a change.
Great Britain is an Asiatic power,- She has
been so for a long time; and her commitments
since the war have considerably increased her
responsibilities in this, most populous -of the con
tinents. Hence a good understanding with Japan
is of the greatest value to her; and a curt de
nunciation ot our treaty with her the moment
she begins to look like a sucked orange would
hardly be the best way to maintain that good
understanding. . .
Of course it is no secret that , we would not
fight with her against the United States. We
have made that reservation a practical part of
the treaty.' It will be stated even more plainly
in any new version of the 'treaty. But this does
not imply that we propose to go to war auto
matically on the side of the Americans in case
a difference of opinion arises between our best
friend and our only ally. For us to say this
now, in advance, without any reference at all to
the possible causes of such a -war, would be to
destroy the friendship of Japan at one blow
and to drive her to seek friends elsewhere.
We shall not add that this would also bind us
to go to war automatically for a cause which we
might regard as trivial, or even without moral
sanction; for we do not believe that the Ameri
cans would go to war for any trivial or unmoral
reason. But it is a very serious thing to place
our national conscience, when it comes to the
tremendously grave decision of entering a war,
in the. keeping of another nation; nor are we
much encouraged to entrust this supreme power,
profoundly cherished by every people the power
to make war and peace to the American nation
by any willingness on their part to trust us.
The Sock Bank
The postal savings banks ' are out for the
money hidden away in various crude, old-time
caches such as the decrepit teapot in the cup
board, the kitchen clock, the mattress and the
stocking end. Great wealth awaits the success
ful profiteers in these rich unworked lodes. The
first French effort under Ferdinand de Lessep
to dig the Panama canal was financed largely
by funds secreted in those ways among the
peasants. Part of the western shore of New
foundland is still called the Gold Coast because
of treasure earth-bound in cans, interred by those
who lost confidence in banks after two dis
astrous failures at St. Johns. Every such col
lapse means a further withdrawal of timorous
investors and depositors, many of- them aliens,
who for years erenhey came here carried all their
worldly goods about with them where tney
wandered.
Part of the work of Americanization rightly
may be to engender in the new arrival a war
ranted confidence in the fiscal solvency of
banking institutions. The Postal Savings bank

The sickness absenteeism of women
is considerably higher than that of
men.
Dr. Krlstlne Ma,nn Investigated
the BlcknesH absentee rate of a col
lege in which there were 720 women,
In SO days 68 per cent of the entire
group were absent one or more
times on account of Illness. These
girls missed 617 school hours dur
ing this period.
Of these absences, Dr. Mann says
that 83 per cent, were preventable;
84 per cent of the absences were due
to common colds, 20 per cent to
menstrual disorders, 16 per cent to
headaches, 5 per cent to indigestion
and 4 per cent to fatigue.
Of the 720 girls, 100 required spe
cial gymnastic exercises to correct
defects in posture.
The great majority of the troubles
noted can be- corrected by right
living.
People who take cold baths, air

water on the neck and chest once or

REPLY.
1. The term mastoid Is an abbre
viation for mastoid abscess. It also
is used as an abbreviation for the
operation on such an abscess. Mas-
told abscess is a suppuration of
the soft bony tissue located Just
oack, or the ears. The infection
has extended to the bone from the
middle ear. In most cases it had
previously traveled to the middle
ear from the throat. Among the
causes of mastoid abscess are sore
throat, infected adenoids and ton
sils and scarlet fever and some other
form of contagion. The infection is
liable to spread from the mastoid
bone cells to the brain or to the
great veins nearby.

frequent In older persons.

Council Bluffs, Nov. 1 1. To- the
Editor of The Dee: As a union man
of more than 20 years' standing, I
wUh to Bttsure Mlclmll O'Conner
that he Is mistaken In saying that
not ro very long ago union lubor
openly denpised the farmer. I have
never known such a time. 1 admit
that the attitude of labor toward
the farmer has been persistently
misrepresented, even as the attitude
of the farmer toward the city work
er has been mlHrepreiti-nted, And
beouuse of this pot-aistciit misrepre
sentation there has come about just
tho situation desired by thoae re
sponsible for this campaign of mis
representation, the city worker mid
the country worker have a feeling
of suspicion toward une another
which keeps them apart, and makes
the task of skinning both groups
much easier.
, As for the relation of wage ami
rail rates, Is Jt not a fact that the
85 per cent increase in rates was
granted to enable the roads to pay
the increased wages granted the
men, according to the publicity
given the matter st the .ime? And
is it not a fact that after the cut
of wages of July 1 of this yeur that
there was absolutely no reflection ot
the reduction in wuges fhown in the
rates? It is true that the railroads
have promised In a roundabout way
that If they are permitted to further
grind down labor that they will re
duce rates, but even this promise
does not contract that the entire loot
takeh from the workers shall be
passed on to the shippers. Hut-even
if it were, would that make It all
right with -the public? The rail
roads have had many fat years dur
ing which they pyramided profits In
the shape of watered stock, exorbi
tant salaries, fat contracts with pri
vately-owned supply companies,
etc., but the men did not share in
this. Why, then, should the. men
stand all of the loss in the lean
years and be called on to make up
all of the reduction in rates, and
more than tho reduction promised,
for the failure of the reduction of
July 1 to be translated Into reduced
rates proves that the roads will
take a further slice of any further
reduqtlon in wages and pass only a
part of it (If any at all) on to the
public.
The claim of those familiar with
the railroad situation, and not inter
ested in helping these i financial
buccaneers in keeping their strangle
hold on American industry, is that if
the water were squeezed out of the
stock, if the officials were debarred
from taking down private loot in the
shape of fat contracts with supply
companies owned by themselves, if
the railroads were operated as pub
lic carriers, instead of being the foot
ball of Wall street stock gamblers,
the rates could be reduced, the
farmer could be saved from ruin,
industry would be healed of paraly
sis and the workers who do the work
on the railroads could be enabled to
live as Americans are supposed to
live. Of course, there would be a
siurnp in the market for broken

Side-cars and roadsters, limousines and giant :
trucks, all do better work on a diet of Red Crown
Gasoline particularly in cold weather. t , " i
Red Crown gives snap and go. It is straight-u-distilled
gasoline has the proper proportion of
low, intermediate and higher boiling point frac
tions. So it ignites quickly, burns up clean, de- .
velops every possible ounce of power. Every gal-
Ion is up to the U. S. Government standards for
motor gasoline. . 3 ' ; C
If you demand quick starts, strong acceleration
and maximum mileage and power, you should form
the habit of using Red Crown Gasoline. It's a
great cold weather gasoline. J -''
Wherever you get Red Crown you'll find it has .
the same good qualities. It will enable your car to
take steep grades easily. Your engine won't accu- .
mulate carbon quickly. You won't have to tinker .
with the carburetor so often because Red Crown .
Gasoline is as uniformly high grade as the most
modern methods of refining can make it.
When you need gasoline or oil, drive up to the
nearest Red Crown Service Station. You can be
sure of prompt, courteous, obliging service and fuel
and oils of the highest, most uniform, most depend
able quality.
