' Revenue, and Expenditure.
Unwise optimism is no mora dangerous than
undue expectation. Each is prone to weaken
:he guard that prudence would set up against
any bock of fortune. Just new too much is
being builded on the prospect for a reduction in
taxes incident to the limitation of armament.
When Thomas Bracked Reed retorted to his
critics, "This is a billion-dollar country," he
,....!-. truth lliil Aiiafif in ba rtpfArf til
eyes of every citizen all the time.
Ip a land where, every community is ex
panding, where the needs of government in all
its branches are continually grpwing, talk of re
ducing taxation is idle, As. the ramification of
government extend. the cost of maintaining gqv
eminent increases. This is elemental, as is also
the fact that no matter in what guise or form
the tax is laid, whether direct pr indirect, it all
i:omj eut ef production.
Far many years, and particularly within the
last fight year, a continual procession has moved
on Washington, demanding from the federal gov.
ernmcnt extensions of service. Bureaus and
commissions have been formed, new departments
created, and agencies, without number have been
added, to the administrative functipns of the
government, all posting money, anq many ot
thern cfoinff tfi things, the pepple should do for
themselves. At this moment the Shepard-Towner
maternity bill is coming to a vote in congress,
whie the Sterling-Towner bill is being pressed
with, much influence behind it. Each of these
carries a large appropriation, and each means a
continuing expense added to the cost of govern
ment. From them will come service that is
needed, perhaps, but It must be paid for. Pleas
of state rights are set up against them; it has
been the sad experience of the country that back
ward states have neglected to provide adequate
educational facilities for their citizens, while
practically all have neglected the work designed
to be carried on by the ShepardTTpwner bjll,
But this must be paid for. ;
Under the law creating the budget system and
giving power and authority in, high degree to
the director of the budget, many needed, reforms
in the details of our government ar being worked
out. These will eliminate, much, of unneces
sary expense, removing duplications' and over
laps, increasing efficiency and consequently pro
ducing economy, but this does not mean lower
taxes. Other demands are being made, and the
outgo is steadily" growing, because the business
ot the country requires it, The reservoir of Cash
at Washington must fc" replenished at all times,
that the streams of money which flow in varying
directions will not dryp entirely,
The republicans are dping a'l (hey can to
save money by lopping off needles expenditure
and waste, and yet are. prohibited froiri crippling
the government, or disappointing h people by
failure to provide for their safety and comfort.
Revenue is necessary to dp these things, and as
long as the United States grows, it will take more
money to defray the cost pf the federal govern
ment, and that money will have, to be raised by
taxation.
A Genuine Tragedy of the War.
.'. A young German woman, meeting an A"er
can doughboy on the Rhine, wedded him. and
came to America, expecting to find a country as
big and beautiful as her husband looked in his.
uniform. She found it big, and probably hejiuti-:
ful, but cold. Now she lies in a hospital, with
her babe by her side, where she has a chance
of recovering from hurts she inflicted in an
attempt at suicide. We hope that she reepvers,
that she will have full opportunity to learn how
warm and generous is this great land to whjch
, ,1't ... . . . L
might have been, and she probably was s
patriotically devoted and active on bha of
the men who went from her honrs town to fight
as were any of our own womenfolk, it seems un-
just she fhould now be made to bear such re
sentment at drove her t despair and suicide,
Germanf did things that will never be forgotten,
but they may be, forgiven, At all events, no
progress (award healing the wounds will be
made by treasuring up the wrongs, and vengeance
may 'well be left to the Almighty, whose right
it is to repay, Th German war bride who comes,
to America with her soldier husband should be
made to feel that tha land of her choice is indeed
one worth fighting far, because it is one in
which it is good ta live.
Japan at the Conference.
Our Japanese brethren have not as j e an?
tirely put on western ways. Only on some such
surmise may their secretiveness and apparent
unresponsiveness at the conference be accounted
for. Playing for high stakes, with everything to
gam and little to lose, they persist in pressing
western generosity as near the limit as they dare
ro. With barely half the coast line of Great
Briuin and only a little over hl that ef the
United States, they ai permitted by th Hughe
plan to maintain a naval tiubliihment of three
fifth th itrength of th greater power. Jbh
I accepted by htm bo) a a eoncsiiicn. hut at
a riflection on, their importance, Reduction of
navie to a baiii of pur dcfen.e doe not justify
the rqt nad ty the Japanese for augmenta
lion of their allftnitnt. Only from two nation
might Japan aapect attack, and tha art ldg
Ing to keep th pear. Lurking behind tha re
quest now being discussed U the Japanese
attitude with reftrtnc to China. Whatever this
is, it hi not yet been disclosed, and perhaps will
not be for torn time, for the policy of the
Japanese delegate at present semis to be to
develop their purpose point by point. Jt may in
the end be found that they are at on with the
United States, England, France and Italy, but
their lack of frankneu lubjfftt them jut now
to th distrust of a people whoi habit is to
spck plainly and wlo impatienc ia easily
aroused by any temhiantf ef aecretivene in
bargaining. Admiral Kato and hi associate
at Washington would be in a better position
wore the government of Tokio to Indicate) mora
dearly what it 1 willing to do other than get
as much and give a little a may be.
Munition Industry and Disarmament.
The reduction of navie quit patently would
have it effect on makers, of armament, The Iron
Age, however, estimate that 11 than 1 per cent
of the annual steel output now goes into naval
construction. The sensible view is that this ma
terial and the labor it represents could be much
better devoted to producing articles useful in
peace and industry.
For all that, these readjustments are always
painful. 'Th hand weavers of England were
thrown into poverty and rebellion by the intro
duction of power machines. The agricultural la
borers in America went about burning hay
stacks and barns to protest the adoption of me
chanical methods of harvesting. It is now said
that the effect of the abandonment of ship build
ing plight have serious effect in England, where
unemployment already is prevalent, I has not
been long since the admiralty announced that at
least 500 firms and 25,000 workmen would derive
employment from building new warships. In
Japan aid America likewise there would be some
industrial slack to be taken up. There also are
the crews of junked hjps to be considered.
The ultimate good of reducing the waste o
armament is not t0 be obscured by such con
siderations. If governments have heen ahle to
afford the outlay on armament, they ought to be
able to finance more useful labor. The poverty
and lack of the ordinary comforts, pf life that
exist in every nation suggest that there is room
for more productive labor, ope, the industrial
machinery ts set to. fights. Th fact that so
much purely wasteful work is cut off only means
tha (he labor available, for increasing real wealth
in the shape of useful goods is thereby increased
to the same extent
General Dawes, director of the budget, re
cently ordered that all departments, of the gov
ernment, when calling for bid for manufactured
articles, shall forward notice to the United States
arsenals. Whenever practicable, it is the inten
tion of these munition plants to submit estimates
and manufacture goods for official use. This is a
common sense proposal, and wit) do no per
manent damage to private corporations, which
are free to broaden their market In other direc
tions. There have been many inventions which
revolutionized industry as much as disarmament
would do, and each one has worked to the ulti
mate good of the world.
Rescue the farmers First.
The middlewest is. ope yast farm, The cities
that have grown UP her were designed to facili
tate the business pf agriculture and the marketing
pf farm produce, Thl railroads were bujlt with
the same object Contemplation qf these facts
is a good thing for dwellers in the cities, and
towns, who are prone to take too much credit
to themselves for the development of this great
region,
In these seven state pf Nebraska, Iowa, Min
nesota, North and South Dakota, Missouri and
Kansas, fs contained mora than a third of the
farm property in the United tates, measured
by value. There is no need to quibble over the
figure, but the estimate set by th census is $28,-
OOO.OOQ.OQO, These billion represent the stake
of the middlewest jn prosperity. Every form of
industry and business in the cities rests on this
foundation.
If the farmers are prosperous, the result is
quickly fejt in every line. If the income from
their labor and capital investment ' cut down,
they cease to buy, all industry slows down and
unemployment covers the Japd like g pall, That
is. why today every agency, public and private,
mu3t be used to place agriculture pn a Paying
basis. That is why the War Finance corpora
tion and all its subsidiaries are at work tq bring
aid to the farmers. That is why railroad freight
rates must come down. That is why business
nien are trying to encourage dairying. That is
why the prices paid to the farmers for their
products must be increased until they are on
a level with the prices of things that the cities
wish to sell the farmers.
The middlewest is one big farm, and ail the
hands mu$t pitch in and mend its fences.
The beet growers of western Nebraska have
one advantage over the grain raisers they know
what their crop will bring in advance of the
planting.
Tariff Against English. Girls.
Lots f English women are cominz to this
country. Jf an English girl c?n raise enough
money to pay her transportation and get by
tha barrier she is glad to take a chance on
America. She figures that ncr chance of securing
a husband i about JflO per cent better than in
the homeland. Jn tneland the women now
greatly outnumber the men and so the prospects
of securing a mate are not good. When they
reach this country they begin the pursuit at once.
What do the American damsels think of an in
vasion of this kind? First thing we know they
will be asking a prohibitive tariff for protection
agamst tne. pauper bnqes ot turope. some of
oqr home girls find it hard enough to find a
suitable mala mate without having la compete
with the rest of the universe. ' A tariff would be
a wise thing, to their manner of thinking. Los
Angeles me.
Be a Tra-Blaer.
Five per cent ef the people in the world are

their footsteps. Every new discovery or inven
tion which has aided human progress has had to
combat the indifference of those who were satis
fied to stay in the old nit and "let well enough

Outlaw the Submarines
Humanity Demand That th
U-lloet do Out of th Navy.
(Front (ha New York Time.)
Speaking for the Hritiih government at the
armament conaercuce on Tuetday, Mr. Ralfoiir
urged that the submarine tonnnKe allowed i" the
American limitation proposal, 90,000 for tlreat
llriialn and the United State respectively, and
54,tMR) for Japan, be reduced, and that the con
struction of aiibmarines of largo cruising art a
be forbidden altogether. Mr. Balfour was in
clined to think that it might be well to outlaw
all submarines, but he hesitated to advocate
their elimination front naval warfare because they
were considered to he "the defensive weapon of
the weak," That was the view of this German
government on February 4, 1915, when it pro
claimed war zune about the British Isles and
announced that enemy merchantmen, would be
Mink without warning. On January 31, 1917,
Germany notified the United Slates that "un
restricted submarine warfare" would begin the
following day. It then became only a ques
tion of time when th United State would enter
the war. Her own necessity was Germany'
plea for making barbarous war upon merchant
men and sinking "without trace." She elected
to consider the aubmarine "the defensive weapon
of the weak." As a matter of fact, the expression
as since used by defender of the submarine is
misleading. The strong as well a the weak
would use the submarine in future wars, and the
weaker nations would be overwhelmed.
Why should not the submarine be proscribed
and banished altogether? As a defensive machine
or eapon the swift bombing airplane is far
more effective in warfare, and Secretary Hughes
omitted the limitation of aircraft from his pro
posals. If the conference were to agree to scrap
all the submarines in commission and building,
the whole world would applaud in such ah
horence is submarine warfare held. There is no
time like the present for such action, no place
like the conference at Washington. If the United
States, Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy
condemned the submarine, what other nation
would dare to include the monster in its navy?
Certainly not Germany, whose hands are tied by
the treaty of v ersaillcs. 1 he adhesion of evcrv na
tion in South America could be obtained. There
is no lesser nation in Europe that would outlaw
itself. If Russia showed the cloven hoof, there
would be in the air fleets of other powers to deal
with the menace.
It may be difficult to limit the use of sea
planes, or ot any airplanes, on account ot tne
legititnatc growth of commercial aviation, but
the submarine cannot be used profitably in trade
that treacherous, skulking invention of war
which destroyed Jl, 404,913 tons ot allied and
neutral shipping from August, 1914, to septem
ber 1, 1918, sent many thousands of innocent
noncombatants as well as brave seamen to the
bottom without warning, and torpedoed hospital
and Red Cross ships, can at least be stricken
from the naval lists. In those dark days of the
great war when German submarine crews were
doing their horrible work, deaf to the dictates
of humanity, defiant of the principles of inter
national law, was there any American or any
f-nglishman who did not cry out against the
abomination? If the submarine is retained, wtiat
assurance can there be that another nation at
bay will not use it to destroy helpless merchant
men and sink without trace?
It is said that the United States with its ex
tensive coast line and the Panama canal to defend
will need submarines. It will need airplanes far
more. With a strong aviation force on the
isthmus submarines could be dispensed with,
Admiral Friske has proposed that the Philippines
be defended by aircraft, and he is. right. Sub?
marines would be superfluous. Ihey are easy
game for the fast-flying airplane with its ex
plosives. Counting her possessions in all parts
of the world, Great Britain has more coast line
to. defend than the United States, and, according
to a Washington dispatch, Great Britain would
scrap the submarines. Naval men would have
no regrets, for the underwater service is not
papular ,.with them.

Harmful Idealism
(Kansas City Times.)
The Los Angeles City club has sent a letter
to President Harding containing these declara
tions: We expect you to do everything in your power
to bring about world disarmament, and nothing
less:
We believe the hour has come when America
shall lead the way in abolishing war, and lend
her power at this time of her opportunity to that
end:
Therefore, we are looking to you to aid us in
the realization of that greatest of all human
ideals, "Peace 011 earth, good will to men."
President Harding did not call the Washing
ton conference to discuss world disarmament and
the subject will riot be mentioned there. The
president is too good a friend ta peace and too
hopeful of seeing the conference achieve some
practical result, to risk.its, success to bring about
its certain failure indeed by laying any such
proposal before it. America has neither proposed
world disarmament nor the abolition pf war,
and for very good reasons. Disarmament is not
practicable nor sensible and war cannot be
abolished by resolution or proclamation.
What the Washington conference will at
tempt to do is, first, to remove by understanding
some of the provocatives to war that now exist
in the Pacific ocean and second, to agree upon
some reasonable and relative limitation upon
future armaments that will put an end, not to
existing navies, but to competitive building. If
the Washington conference does those two things
it will have succeeded greatly. If it attempts to
do more it wil) fail conspicuously and its failure
will leave the world worse off than it now is,
for the armaments race will be on again at
greater speed than ever.
"Peace on earth, good will to men" is a great
ideal, but it cannot be attained by abolishing the
police. Kansas City Times,.
New Field for the Paper Baler.
When we talk of the mark as the nadir of
exchange it is because we think of it more often
in its aspect of pur resumption of business rela
tions with Germany. We forget the ruble.
Think of the poor, long-suffering Russian who
by some quirk of good fortune gets possession
of a real, genuine, American $5 gold piece.
He hitches a team of horses to his truck,
calls in his neighbors for armed guard, goes to
the bank and there gets the pneumatic paper
baler and has 'em put 500.000 rubles in one bale
to load on the truck. The other 25,000 rubles
he stuffs in his vest pocket to buy himself

lir. Thomas K. Brown sava that
theaA-dliicHlion liemlnclirn can bo di
vided into four KubHTOuptf.
At the bead of the list fames the
heudaeho due ta eating too much
starchy nnd sweet fooilH. (if course,
we need to fat an abundnnoe of
enrbohydrnto food, since that la the
source of most of our heat and en
ergy: but In ".pile of tha extent of
thu need, most of us ovorcnt in this
direction, and many of us suffer in
ootiKeuuence of the habit.
Most of the bo-oalkd bilious head
aches belong to this Kroup.
These headaches have the rcpott
tion of being cured by ealomol. This
may be Hie explanation of theno
cures. Calomel doHtruya the appe
tite nnd may cause naursea. The
person taklnir a course of calomel
hns no appetite for several days, nnd
he may retain no food. The period
of starvation cures hi bilious head
ache and the course of calomel gets
the credit.
The preventive treatment of cases
of frequently recurring headache, us
given by Hare & Hutchison and as
endorsed by Brown, is as follows:
For two or three weeks a diet
composed of lean meata, fats, greens
and acid fruits. No bread, no sugar,
no starchy foods of any kind. A
person can eat enough butter,
cream and olive oil to keep his
weight up during this period, if he
does not want to lose weight. At
the end of the three-week period he
can add one or two slices of bread
a day, one potato, and a little cereal.
Ho will be free from headaches if
he will stick permanently to a diet
not much more liberal in bread and
supar than that used by diabetics.
Brown reports one chronio suf
ferer who has kept free from bead-
acnes for 10 years by sticking to
this diet.
His next group contains those who
have headaches because they eat
too much meat apd eggs and too
lutie siarcnes ana sugars.
What Is meat for a fellow In the
first group is poison for a fellow in
the second. It not infrequently hap
pens that the sufferer has learned
by experience that meat and eggs or
food of that kind are tho trouble. In
some cases they have learned to go
light on tha entire group, ip others
to avoid certain members of the
group for instance, eggs.
In handling these cases it Is al
ways wise to take these opinions,
often thought to be Instructive, into
account. In some cases a careful
physical examination, made during
the attack, shows a temporary en
largement of the liver.
The treatment consists in starv
ing the patient for a few days and
then giving him a vegetarian diet.
In some cases the patient must live
permanently on a vegetarian diet if
he is to escape attacks. Some can
take a little meat, but not much.
Some must avoid eggs.
Tne group in which lies the head
ache due to too much meat is al
most as large as that due to too
much starch and sugar.
Seems A'ormnl Now.
J. M. writes: My infant niece
is 18 months old. She is 29 inches
tall and weighs 23 pounds. Her
mother is of the ppinion that sf)e s
inderweight for her age. Is she
right in this respect? The baby
weighed 10 pounds at birth, and at
0 months she weighed 20 pounds.
After the first six months she lost
in weight, and at the end of her
first year" she weighed only 19
pounds. She has been teething all
summer and has 16 teeth. Early in
tna spring sne had "running ear and
was irritable for about a month. At
that time she seemed to lose in
weight.
2. Lately the child refuses to
drink milk and most of the time
will not eat much of anything. What
would you advise doing. She seems
to be fat and healthy now, and her
mother has very little trouble with
her."
' REPLY.
1. The Illinois standard Is 31 i
Inches and 23 pounds. No. The
onild gained too rapidly In the first
six months, but is now about par.
Possibly the infected ear was the
cause of the six months' standstill.
1. Cannot be starving, since the
weight is right for age. A child 19
months old should eat a rather va
ried diet from the table. She needs
milk In moderate quantities, but not
to the exclusion of other foods. If
she will not take it plain, boil it or
make it into custard or cottage
cheese or some other wholesome
compound.

O. It. B. writes: "1. What is the
usual cause of the disease com

dangerous disease? 3. What is the
modern or best treatment for it?
REPLY.
1. An infection with one of the
germs which causes pneumonia,
colds, rheumatism or neuralgia.
3. Simple ointment locally, a
rheumatism medicine internally,
and maybe a laxative.

'Buy Corn" Wmcnu'iit.
Omaha, Nov. 1. To Hie pjllor
of The Hon: Whan Kurope burnt
lino flume lit 114 the price of cut
ton In l lie aoulh dropped to 4 and
S cunts per pound and found mii'li a
little aiilo ut even that low prlca thut
there was atuitud In tha south, and
till over the country for that niattrr,
the "Uuy n Halo of Ootton" move
ment. Wholi'mlo turn hus, jobbers,
manufacturers, retail merchant,
clvli! organisations-, chambers (if
commerce, rotary clubs, individual
and even church and school organi
sations over tha entire country vied
With ench other in buying a bale
of cotton to such an extent that in
a very short while the price of cot
ton advanced to a point where they
not only mude a nice profit upon the
bales of cotton they bought, but
placed the soul hern cotton grower
in an independent posltlun flnani
e ally.
Why oannnt such a movement be
started In Juwa and Nebraska to
help the farmers of theso states out
on tho Iosncm they pave sustained in
raising corn 7 It neems to me that
with the proper organization behind
tha scheme and as much effort ex
pended as was the ruse In the recent
"Alade in Omaha" movement we
could soon put the farmers of our
sliite in a position to pay their bills
and continue in their business of
farming, which a number of them
are not going to be able to do unless
some relief Is oflered.
It Is the power of the press of
these two states- to start a "Buy 60
Bushels of Corn ' movement that
will raise the price "of corn to 75
cents or Jl per bushel and make
the farmers independent. I am
sure there are 100,000 manufac
turers, firms and Individuals In
Iowa and Nebraska that would buy
50 bushels of- corn at 50 cents per
bushel, thereby putting $2,500,000
in immediate circulation among the
farmers of theso states. Don't you
think that would help considerably?
Then, in connection with this
"Buy 50 Bushels of Corn" move
ment, therfc should be started an
other movement, or rather propa
ganda, to increase the consumption
of corn products. We all "Hoover?
ized during the war and did It
gladly. Why should we not just as
gladly "Hooverize" now to help our
fanner friends ' dispose ' of their
corn? Start a movement to popu?
larize the eating of .corn products
in all shapes. There are so many
appetizing and healthful dishes that
can be made of cornmeal that it
would be really good for "our stom
achs' sake" to o on a cornmeal
diet, at least until the farmer is out
of the woods.
It is too ba,d we have not a man
on the order of Hoover. He would
go ot this thing and "put it over,"
but if you gentlemen will just start
the thing and give it a little public
ity the man or organization to start
the thing will be forthcoming.

Thapk Thoughtful Truckman,
(Jniaha. Nov. 18. To the Editor

to go to Omaha the other day at
