At Peace and At Work.
Formal proclamation of a state of peace with
Germany merely gives official sanction to an es
tablished' fact. All but the presence of ambas
sadors at Washington and Berlin was ac
complished weeks and months ago. Commerce
is flowing as freely between the two countries
as ever, somewhat less in volume, perhaps, but
it may never again mount to its prewar peak.
..Time is healing the bitterness that marked the
days preceding the declaration of a state of war,
and outwardly at least all signs point to a re
sumption of relations on the friendliest of foot
ings. This condition will not be marred by ex
pressions from the radicals in Germany, whose
ytitude is not at the moment indicative of solid
J5erman sentiment. Opinion, on this side will
be formed on the course of the German people,
exhibited through their government, and as they
progress they may feel assured of sympathetic
understanding here. '
Domestic problems growing out of the pro
ceeding are not especially important, aside from
the case of the so-called political prisoners. War
powers granted to Mr. Wilson were long ago
restored to the Constitution by congressional
action, and our normal form of government is
resumed in full. It is interesting at this junc
ture to find the United States so earnestly con
ferring with its great associates in the war as to
methods whereby other wars may be averted,
and the fruits of victory applied for the good of
mankind. : .
Delegates now at Washington are giving se
rious consideration to the frankly radical pro
posal made on behalf of our government for
the limitation of navies. Great Britain and Japan,
as the ones most directly affected, naturally
want time to ponder and weigh the proposal, to
discuss its different phases, and to conclude what
is better to do in the matter. Such time must
be granted, and we must patiently wait for their
definite decision, for on it will rest much of the
future. The thing that will satisfy Americans
is that their country is not only at peace with
II the world, but is actively at work to make
that peace permanent, not for ourselves alone,
but for all the nations. .
"Experts" and the Conference.
' Governor McKelvie voices the opinion of
citizens everywhere in his endorsement of the
American plan for disarmament The project is
not one which appeals solely to fresh water
states, but to those bordering the ocean as well.
Its essence is a limitation of navies such as
would make the carrying on of a sea offensive
(ilmost impossible. The building of dreadnaughts
costing all the way from $20,000,000 to $40,000,..
000 would cease for ten years and the fleets that
would be left afloat would be suited mainlyor
scouting and policing the seas. - '
This is the way it looks to ordinary men
(the men who fight the battles and foot the bills.
The statesmen of the three countries concerned
appear to favor this simple arrangement. ' But the
naval experts are yet to be heard from. Al
ready these strategists and engineers, who hold
"their positions not by any suffrage of the people
but who are solidly entrenched behind tradition
Rnd red tape, are bringing forward numerous
technical objections. Secretary Hughes has not
divulged the naval advisors who may be con
sidered as the originators of the American pro
posals, but it is to be believed that they took
cognisance of all angles of the question of sea
power before drawing up these proposals.
There is danger, however, that the issue may
be clouded by the intricate amendments and
counter proposals of the strategists, most of
whom, through professional pride, may be un
favorable. The statesmen realize the strong pub
lic support that is behind the movement for real
disarmament, A way must be found to keep the
fxperts from disregarding the human side and
mothering . the essentials in a mass of detail
Their business is to advise, not to dictate.
The West Tells New York.
. The war for the Great Lakes waterway has
been carried into the center of opposition. Gov
ernor Allen of Kansas, in a speech at New York
City has challenged the statements of Governor
Miller in his home state. Former Governor
Harding of Iowa at the same meeting also de
fended the project of this new route, to the
world's markets for the middle west
There are other ways for New York to pros
per than by forcing the shipment of 50,000,000
Ions of western freight through its congested
terminals. The pretense that (be Erie canal
offers a cheaper and better route than the St.
Lawrence channel is not. upheld by the facts.
The capacity of the Erie canal is estimated at
10,000,000 tons of eastbound freight annually, a
small part of the whole.- Furthermore, shifting
cargoes from cars to barges is costly, and not to
be compared for efficiency with loading an ocean
vessel at Duluth, jiiUmkee or Chicago for
direct routing to Europe, When western prod
ucti reach Buffalo on their way to Liverpool or
other north European ports, they are nearer to
their destination than they are after being car
ried across the statt of New York by the Erie
canal and down the Hudson river to New York
City. This route takes products that could go
down the St, Lawrence nearly 500 miles out of
their way.
New York Is up against something bigger
than it ever tackled before when It attempts to
prevent sixteen middle western states from ob
taining cheaper freight rates and more efficient
methods of distributing Its products.
Grain Rates Must Be Lowered. ,
When the Interstate Commerce commission
recommended to the railroads of the western
states that lowered schedule of rates be prepared
for filing by November IS, to become effective
five days later, it was thought relief was in sight.
Now it transpires that the railroads decline to
be guided by such counsel. In the absence of
positive orders no effective relief will be granted.
Why the Interstate Commerce commission
omitted giving direct orders to lower rates need
not be discussed; in some respects it was
thought not advisable to reopen the entire nut
ter, when temporary relief might be granted for
the emergency. Whatever view may be taken
of the situation, one conclusion is unavoidable.
The railroads have declined to grant relief that
was within their power.
The excuse that the rate situation was laid
aside while the strike was impending looks to
us like a subterfuge. So also does reference of
the matter to a conference yet to be held seem
like passing the buck.
As long as the matter may be postponed from,
day to day,' that long will the farmers go with
out the relief that is their due. Conditions are
not improving in the agricultural sections of the
country to such degree as justifies the indiffer
ence exhibited by the railroads. ,
It may not be comfortable to invoke this
power that can secure the remedy, but if the
men who manage the railroads decline to listen
to counsel, then appeal must be made to a source
from which results may be obtained. The
farmers bloc in the congress is not impotent.
Help the Girls as Well. ,
Omaha has been and is a storm-center of
drives. One is just over and two are now
progressing. Each of these is for a meritorious
object. The Bee has already given its com
mendation to Father Flannagan's oroiect of
building up a great home for boys. Now it
wants to equally endorse the Work of the Young
Women's Christian association.
A girl in a city, away from home and friends.
faces problems as serious, and freauentlv more
perplexing than those of a boy. She is not only
subject to the same physical limitations, has the
same needs for food and shelter, but she must
meet and overcome temptation in the same forms,
and frequently in more alluring guise than ever
is met by her brothers.
The "Y. W." has undertaken to solve some
of these problems for her in a practical way. , It
has established in Omaha activities that are
functioning successfully, but which require con
tinued .support. At present the institution is 85
per cent self-sustaining. The other 15 per cent
must be raised by donations or contributions
from the public For the current year the budget
has been trimmed very closely, yet it is necessary
to call for $37,000 or cut off some portions of the
work that are of prime necessity.
Nothing presented the people is more worthy
of support than the work of the. "Y. W." . Its
campaign has been carried on more quietly and
with less of publicity than has attached to the
other, but it deserves to succeed, because 1he
girls need help the same as the boys, and so
should be remembered in the giving.
Starting at the Wrong End. v
We read it! the dispatches that the committee
of 48, in session at New York, has decided to
come to Nebraska to give advice as to the
formation of the contemplated new party. This
assumption on the part of the 48er might be con
sidered, arrogant, were it not so palpably born
of ignorance. When the devoted members of
that organization become a bit better acquainted
with the history of Nebraska, perhaps they will
not be so brash in their propositions. As a mat
ter of cold, clammy, iconoclastic fact, more new
parties have been brought to life jn this state
than anywhere else in the union, with the possi
ble exception of Kansas. Of course, Colorado is
always excepted, for that enterprising common
wealth holds the palm, being the only state on
record that had- thirty-two regularly ordained
parties represented on an official ballot at one
and the same time. The difference is that the
Nebraska and Kansas parties generally got
somewhere outside their own. states, while the
Colorado parties rarely were known outside; of
Denver. Nebraska was on the job when the
Grangers were tearing things . up, passed on
through a teething spasm' of anti-Grant repub
licanism, the Horace Greeley epidemic, the green
back measles, the Knights of Labor mumps, the
Farmers' Alliance whooping cough, the populist
scarlet fever, and now is wrestling with the an
terior poliomyelitis of Townleyism. Socialism
we have always with us, and the prohibitionists,
the bull moosers and the sound money democrats
have made this state a stamping ground. Maybe
the 48ers can tell us something about how to
start a new party, or propagate a novel idea, yet
we will wager that when they come to scoff they
will remain to pray. In addition to hogs and
corn and wheat and alfalfa and other elements
of material growth, our greatest output is politics.

ABOUT SKIN TROUBLES.
Tha tndney anions skin spa-

marly thousht or than tlia people

nala have carrl4 many articles to

Thay hold that many of tha Itch-
inf aruptlona In various pnrta or
tha body ara aua to error in aim.
After this poaslbtltty lias been ruled

ist la dlapoied to think of ring worm
as the causa.
Thar ara raaea of rlnir worm
which, balna round In shape and
being- otharwlaa typical, ara enslly
racognlxed, and have always bean
called what they ara. in audition
there ara typical ring worms that
may hava ben overlooked.
For Instance, rt. 8. Hodes thinks
that on in ench (00 people In the
south have ring worm of tha toe
nallii. Moat of the very thick,
Irregular and otherwlne deformed

public a half hour a day would
prove very unpopular berauce of
the revelations it would make, I am
sure we are all agreed, but a state
ment that two people out of earn
thousand hava deformed too nails
due to ring worm comes as a surprise.
Hodges says that practically an
such cases can be cured.
The generally used treatment Is
Whltefleld's paste, consisting of:
Bensolo acid........ 4 parts
Sallcyllo acid 2 parts
l'etrolatum 30 parts
The remedy is a matter for the
physician to determine. There are
cases in which these proportions
need to be varied. These are cases
In which the sallcyllo acid causes
soreness and therefore needs to be
omitted altogether or temporarily
discontinued.
Tha reason for writing about It Is
that, although it is up to the physi
cian to do tha prescribing, the treat
ment Is Ineffective unless it is prop
erly carried out.
For most cases rour months is
required for cure. Few people
hava the persistence to keep up any
treatment for four months.
Before the ointment is applied It
Is necessary to scrape the nail down
thin. In some cases the ointment
will soften the nail enough to make
it scrapable. In others it will be
necessary to soften it by applying
10 per cent solution ol caustic
potash.
It is troublesome as welt as pa
tience trying to cure a case of ring
worm of the nails with thickening,
and the person not willing to carry
out his part of the program need
not begin.

well and then spend a half hour
rubbing the sulphur ointment into
the skin. It must get into every
itch hole and scratch mark. Then
go to bed in a fresh, clean night
garment and between iresn, clean
sheets. All wash cloths must be
boiled and ironed. Every member
of the family must be cured, else the
cured members will be reinfected

repeat the scrubbing and rubbing

A Lesson in Health
' Well, She Did.
An enterprising Jap student at one of Ameri
ca's inland colleges. who landed here with prac
tically no English in his vocabulary, secured a
job on a farm during the vacation season. He
assimilated the language readily enough and
soon had a workable Command of words
enough to get by with; but the feminine nouns
properly applicable to the various domestic ani
mals came near proving a German Marne. One
morning he came running in very great haste

Under wise leadership, plus the egregious
blunders the republicans have made, the con
gressional elections should find the democrats
restored to power in the house and well on their
way toward, a favorable verdict from the coun
try in 1924. Richmond Times-Dispatch. ;
(I ram tha Bo. ton Transcript.)
It is not an easy task that the
medical profession has undertaken
in Its effort to reach the general
public through the medium of "Can
cer week," and to deliver a message
which shall lead to a better under
standing of an ailment that is caus
ing 90,000 deaths a year in the
United States, and is growing more
and more prevalent. The need of
educational effort of the kind now in
progress is apparent, but it is obvi
ous that with the need of public in
formation goes the danger of caus
ing a state of public alarm that
would in itself be harmful. The
effort of the doctors is one that
must, therefore, be coupled with the
exercise of much discretion if the
maximum of results is to be at
tained. .
Fortunately one of the few well
established facts concerning cancer
will, when generally understood, go
far to remove unreasonable fear of
the disease. The doctors frankly
confess that their knowledge of can
cer is limited compared with the
knowledge they posses of some of
the other ills which afflict human
ity. But it is well established that in
a vast number of cases cancer can
be cured If treated early and treated
by ti--; methods which experience
has jf iwn to be successful. There
is thas in the present campaign
both the purpose to awaken the
public to the need of early treat
ment, and also to warn them against
treatment of a kind worse than use
less. It is well, too, that people in
sreneral should have a better knowl
edge of the Irritating conditions
which are known to be favorable to
the development of cancer.
While in many ways cancer still
baffles medical research, it may be
said of the situation with regard to
it that it is one that Justifies hope
that the disease may yet be con
quered as have, been many of the
scourges of the past It is also
gratifying to observe that there is
hope of a new . curative agency.
While there is disagreement as to
the exact value of radium in the
treatment of the disease, it is cer
tainly conservative to put it, as does
Madame Curie, that tne outioox is
hopeful. Of especial importance in
that connection is a statement made
by Mr. Herbert Parsons, the presi
dent, and Mr. Archibald Douglas,
the secretary of the Memorial hos
pital in New York, that its experi
ence with radium In the treatment
of cancer had been such as to cause
its directors to dissent from the
recent statement that the radium
treatment was a failure. It is their
claim that in many cases radium
offers the best probable relief, when
properly used by experts. While
the staff of the hospital declines to
announce cures until more time has
elapsed, it is stated to be significant
that creat numbers of cases after
several years show no recurrence of
the disease.
It is also to be said that the desig
nation of a period for the considera
tion of cancer by the general pub
lic is significant of the change which
haa come over the medical profes
sion. Here is new application of
that enlightened policy which seeks
to improve the public health
through popular education concern
ing the dangers which beset it It
is the wise course of teaching the
public how disease may be pre
vented, or, failing in that, how it
may be cured if promptly and prop
erly treated. , .

On the Job -
(From the Philadelphia Iedger.)
Ill various places and in a diver
sity fit employment are men and
women doing work that, as a rule,
fairly takes the measure of their
capacities. They do what they are
fit to do.
Sometimes, . by harsh circum
stance, men and women are de
prlved of work that they wera do
ing well and compelled to accept
for a livelihood tasks that are con
siderably below the level of their
capacities. Thus we may find
refugee Russian general glad to get
the post and the pay of one who
carries messages, or keeps a door,
or runs an elevator. War can in
vert the structure of society and
work havoc with an economic
status, even as it makes inroads on
public and private morality.
But the rule, until it is upset, is
that we get and keep in this world
the work we are qualified to do and
are paid what it is worth.
The idlers do not count those
whose part is merely to spend an
Inheritance they have earned. They
do not know what it means to work
for a living. They do not even un
derstand the significance of money,
for it slips through their hands like
film from oft a reel.
Men on the job men trained to
a special skill in a particular em
ployment are usually found recep
tive and impressible, not merely to
orders from on high, but to sugges
tion from eager co-workers, who are
as heartily anxious as they are to
advance the business that all of
them have in hand together.
But there, is less and less of a
mind On the part of busy, productive
toilers to drop their tools and stand
Idle at the call of those who love to
loaf and hate to work.
IThe busiest of men enjoy their
business. They are miserable when
Just because they have reached a
certain number of years some
ancient lorce of precedent or pre
scrlption retires them against their
desire to keep on. They pine and
fret and chafe in the holiday en
forced. They must find something
else to do; sometimes they die.
Me.n who have the will to work
don't want anybody's pity. They
consider work, hard work and
plenty of it, the grand blessing of
their lives. Commiseration is
wasted upon them; the time to be
sorry for them is when they have
nothing to do. And it is never true
of a real man that he has nothing
to do.

TELL HIM NOW.
If with pleasure you are viewing
Any work a man ia doing.
If you like him or you lova him, tell
him now;
Don't withhold your approbation
Till the parson makes oration
And ho lies with snowy lilies o'er his
brow;
For no matter how you shout it,
Ha won't really care about It;
He won't know how many teardrops
you have shed;
If you think some praise Is due him
Now's the time to slip It to him.
For he cannot raise hla tombstor.e when
he's dead.
Mor than fame and more than money
Is the comment kind and sunny
And tha hearty warm approval at a
friend;
For it gtvea to life a savor.
And makes you atroncer, braver.
And it gives you heart and spirit to
the end;
If he earna your praise bestow it;
If you like him let blm know it;
Let tha worda of true encouragement
be aald;
Do not wait till Ufa ia over
And he's underneath the clover.
For he cannot read his tombstone when
he a dead.

About Joo Moron.
Omaha. Nov. 8. To the Editor
of The lieo: I have kept quiet so
far lit regard to the recent affair
connected wltn the snooting or my
htiKlmnd, Joe .Mo run. To the people
that knew Joe this letter Is not
necesitary. I um really writing for
the benefit of the general public.
ThM'e have been so msny contra
dictory statements In the dally press
thut the memory of the true Jo
Mm an hus practically btien wiped
out. Joe was an all-around, clean
cut atlileto, aa the sport loving
world knows. Ho neither was or
ever HHplred to be a "pug," as one
paper stated. Although he loved to
see a "match," he scorned the
thought of prizefighting for money's
Hake. Boxing he learned only for
the sake of aelf-defense.
Ills motive for going down to the
"Hola In tho Wull" was for the pur
posing of adjusting all mtsunder-i
Klandltif between htmwlf and tha
I'lnitn boys, as his Bullous all
through the affair showed. Ills first
worda to Frank Clrtun as Frank en
tered the room were, "Milt tne.''
snd they both shook hit mis. Purine
all tha rest of tha affair to its ter
mination Joa never once ralaed as
much as a finger against cither t
tha Ctrlsn boya.,
I hope tha public accept 1 lit
