American Citizenship.
respective applicants for the boon of Ameri
cau citizenship, and a great many who have the
privilege but do not appreciate its value, may
find in the current news columns something
worthy their consideration. Emma Goldman and
August Berlcman are at Riga, "all dressed up
and no place to go." Russia does not want them;
Letvit will not have them; they hope in time to
return to the United States, but do not know
how or when they can get in.
A court-martial at Fort Crook has found a
young Nebraskan guilty of desertion, in that he
evaded the draft call, and has fixed his sentence
at one year in the penitentiary.
Couple these two items, and the value of
American citizenship goes up several points.
Emma Goldman and her companion lived in this
country many years, not always enjoying free
dom, because of crimes they committed, and
abusing their liberty when they had it. Finally
the government of the United States lost patience
with them, and sent them back to the land of their
birth. Neither was a citizen of the country,
having willfully neglected to avail themselves of
the opportunity given all who come from abroad.
Now they profess to be anxious to obtain what
they pretended to despise, simply because it af
fords protection among other valuable privileges.
Weaver Bausch perhaps did not feel called
upon to fight for the United States against Ger
many, but his citizenship entailed a duty, and
back of it was a power he had forgotten. The
people of the United States exercise the sover
eign, authority of .the United States, and at their
call any individual is required to answer. Bausch
is pursued, not vindictively, but because he has
offended against the common weal and must un
dergo the penalty he incurred when he decided
for himself against the law of the land.
Citizenship in-the United States is priceless;
it is within the reach of any well-intentioned in
dividual who happens to have been born abroad.
Expulsion of anarchists and imprisonment of
slackers give to the privileges of citizenship ad
ditional value, because emphasizing the duties as
well. And citizenship will be worth more when
all Americans understand its obligations as well

Our Own "Balkan Question." ,
Peru and Chili are at it again, and with a
vwjr itii jjiusJtii ui line in itv wai, umcss
some stronger power intervenes. It is all over
Tacna-Arica, the case that "was presented to
the League of Nations last fallj and then with
drawn because the parties did not wish to dis
turb the harmony at Geneva by such proceedings
as might follow inquiry into (he merits of the
case. Bolivia is -concerned in the matter, and
Brazil is collectively a party at interest, for the
reason that Peruvian rebels are threatening
along the Brazilian border. Chile is standing
pat, and appears willing to allow the issue to
come to the final test.
Thus the Americas find their own imitation
of the Balkan question quite as acute and as
promising in the matter of possible difficulties
and as potential for annoyance as the European
article. Until the differences between Chile on
the one side and Bolivia and Peru'on the other
are composed, war will be constantly on the pro
gram. Settlement is" possible when Chile under
takes the fulfillment of the treaty under which
she pretends to hold Tacna and Arica provinces.
Chile will settle this question when somebody
shows the government there that it is proper tc
carry out an agreement solemnly entered into.
What may nappen m tne present instance,
where clashes already have occurred between
border patrols is not to be answered at once, but
Chile has not been too careful in the matter of
making friends lately, and may find her South
American neighbors indifferent as to what hap
pens if not actually against her.
Eating and Learning.
Nutrition classes such as were held in Omaha
schools last year are to be reopened shortly after
the first of the year. The connection between
proper feeding and education is close, and that
there is a physical basis for dullness or bright
ness is becoming recognized. To expect a hun
gry or ill-nourished child to profit by educational
advantages is a grievous error.
For such statements corroboration is found
in a lecture by Dr. L. E. Holt, a noted expert in
child culture, delivered before medical students
in San Francisco, "If better work is to be done
in school by the average pupil, his nutrition and
physical development must be improved," Dr.
Holt says. The nutrition problem presented
by the school child is part of the educational
problem, and must be recognized as such." He
suggests that part of the $27,000,000 spent each
year for teaching retarded pupils might be better
applied to health education and hot lunches.
Underfeeding in childhood has a lasting effect,
tapping at the stamina m later life. Dr. Holt in
stanced one effect of diet by the fact that during
tt first -rear Japanese Vtbiej art as Urge ta
others, but that thereafter, when the diet It
changed, the children fall behind and produce
race short in stature. He also asserted that most
of the Americans rejected for war service owed
their disability to underfeeding In childhood.
Growth, progress in school and resistance to
disease depend to a considerable extent on proper
feeding. Sometimes ignorance on the part of
parents, and sometimes poverty or other causes,
lie at the base of bad conditions. Wherever the
fault may be, Dr. Holt considers the reiponsi
bility for its removal to rest on the home, the
state and the doctors alike.. If mental develop'
ment depends on having plenty of food and the
right sort, then eating quite properly becomes
a part of the school lessons.
Objections to the Waterway.
It is surprising to residents of the middle
west to find, that tremendous opposition to the
Great Lakes waterway it being evoked, or at
least attempted, in the east. Governor Miller of
New York is in an official position which allows
him to speak without seeming to plead the case
of any special interest, and it losing no oppor
tunity to blast away at the solid facts which
favor the great project.
Congressman A. P. Nelson of Wisconsin re
cently took occasion in congress to check up the
statements of the New York executive and to
put the case of the landlocked middle west be
fore the nation. After taking up the objections
one by one and answering them, the Wisconsin
representative presented evidence that the water
way will save each year more than its entire cost
and not burden the federal treasury, saying:
The saving on grain alone is estimated by
competent men in the grain business, includ
ing Julius H. Barnes, formerly director United
States Grain corporation, to amount to from 5
to 10 cents per bushel, and this will affect not
.only the grain exported but all grain produced
in the territory within the influence of the
waterway. On the grain produced within the
territory affected the saving will amount to ap
proximately $350,000,000 per year, or more
than double the amount the United States will
be required to contribute to the improvement.
The saving on other commodities will be very
great, and it may be conservatively estimated
that the producers of. the United States will be
benefited to the extent of at least $500,000,000
annually in return for a total expenditure of
less than $150,000,000, which will be reimbursed
to the government in full by the revenue de
, rived from water power. This is a high-grade
investment. Moreover, there must be expended
upon the railroads of the country many billions
of dollars before they will be equipped to han
dle the increasing traffic adequately. The open
ing of the Great Lakes to ocean vessels will
substitute short hauls for some of the present
long hauls and greatly increase the car ef
ciency. It will render part of the expenditure
for railroad equipment unnecessary, and in this
way more than save its cost. This is true
economy.
The governor of New York says: "It is
an agitation to get the federal government to
spend a billion dollars." Now, our good gov
ernor knows better than that. Such a statement '
is mere camouflage, misleading, and not ac
cording to fact The report of the engineers
' Colonel Wooten for the United States and Mr.
Bowden for Canada shows that plans pro
viding one power dam developing about 1,464,-000-horsepower
and complete navigation possi
bilities will cost about $252,728,000, one-half
to be assumed by each nation. Not a cent need
be expended by either government. A bond
issue backed jointly by the credit of the two
nations can easily be sold during the eight
years required for the completion of the project.
These are facts that must be held in mind. It
is inconceivable that the prejudices, fears and
privileges of New York should be powerful
enough to block the carrying out of this great
engineering enterprise. The middle west has set
its heart on this outlet to the sea, and is strong
enough to have its way.
The Bee's Free Shoe Fund.
This is not going to be a sob story; it will be
a brief recital of facts, ponderable, and capable
of demonstration. The Bee has no lack of sym
pathy with the spirit that prompts giving to
provide a bountiful meal for unfortunates on a
great holiday occasion; it would not repress the
generous impulse that moves some good-hearted
individual to make a child happy on Christmas
day with an appropriate gift. Those things are
good, for they lessen the woe of the world, bring
light into dark places, and give pleasure and
even joy to those who otherwise would have
none. And in them the blessing of giving is fully
experienced. '
But the Shoe' Fund is another story. It doesn't
work only for a meal, or the pleasure of a day.
It begins with the first touch of winter and goes
right on until spring. Little toes that otherwise
would be naked are comfortably clad. Little
children who otherwise would be at home are in
school, because The Bee's Free Shoe Fund is on
the job. The Bee knows this, for it has had
many years of experience, many opportunities
to observe, and out of the fullness of this it
recommends to its readers subscribing to the
Shoe Fund.
Every cent of money given to this fund goes
to purchase shoes for the needy. Not a penny
is expended on administrative or other expense.
Teachers of the public schools are the almoners
of this bounty; it is paid out on their recom
mendation, and under their supervision. The
Bee is only an agent to collect and acknowledge
the receipt of the contributions. That is all, but
every contributor may rest content with the com
forting thought that some child has benefited
through the generosity of those who have given
so liberally. .
Ohio lake ports are beginning to bestir them
selves in anticipation of ocean freighters from
Liverpool, Amsterdam and Havre. New harbor
works and docks will have to be planned for
Cleveland, Toledo, Sandusky and Lorain if that
state is to make the most of the St. Lawrence
waterway.
Railway earnings for October reached almost 6
per cent. However much the shippers and others
affected by high transportation rates may com
plain at this, they at least must admire the

earnings. Not all businesses would do as much.

Offhand Treaty Revision
Some Points Senator Borah
!Ut Overlooked in Ilia PUna. ,
(From the New York Timet.)
Senator Borah does not often step forward
in the role of a lappy-thought statesman, but hit
statement & t the nature and ctlerts of the
Versailles trek y, and the need of its instant re
vision "to that Europe can live," it unworthy of
nit reputation at teriout student of public at
fairs. The true explanation it probably that the
Idaho tenator worked up to excited an animosity
against the League ol ."Nations that he has a cer
tain amount left over which he spills upon the
Versailles treaty itself. Moreover, Mr. Borah
hat more than once shown himself somewhat
rredutout in the matter of ttorirt coining from
Europe, to that he doubtless brlievet that eco
nomic rum is tlowiy being forced upon turopean
countries through the enforcement of the treaty.
Hence hit insistence that it Be at once recast
What are the facts about this wicked treaty
that can never be executed? Miie-tenths of it
has already been executed. "Is Germany." asks
Senator Borah, "to be dismembered?" She has
been, to far as the treaty undertook to do it
Alsace, Posen, Danzig, Slesvig, Eupen, and the
rest, under what jurisdiction does Mr. Borah
suppose that these former parts of Germany are
today? But what most troublrs him is the fact
that the Versailles treaty does not "conform to
the economic lite of Jiurope." I his can mean
only the German reparations. It is not necessary
to charge Senator Borah with undue tenderness
for Germany. He may sincerely think that the
Oerman indemnity was hxed at too high a figure,
or that too great sums are demanded of Cer
many in the first years of payment, so that the
whole financial plan of the reparations ought to
be made over. But if he can prove that this
should be done, the way. is open under the Ver
saillcs treaty. Let him go to the reparations
commission therein provided, and if he can make
out a case that body will take the needed action,
as it is empowered to do by the treaty. Its
framers were not so short-sighted as Senator
Borah seems to imagine. They provided for just
such a contingency as he believes now to exist.
It is idle to talk loosely about tearing up the
treaty so long as it is possible to make it work
so as to attain the very ends which its assailants
desire.
Judging by what he says, Senator Borah
thinks that it would be easy to rewrite the Ver
sailles treaty. Let Great Britain and France and
Japan sit down and do it any afternoon, he says,
cutting the Uordian knots thcrcot laminar as
their carter. But the Idaho senator can not
actually believe that anything of the sort is pos
sible. There is no precedent lor the work. 1 here
is no sufficient motive for it. No man could mark
out a method by which it could be done. Why,
then, should a public man talk about it in a
way that gives hji the air of a child grasping at
moonbeams? - -

Causes and Remedies.
Omaha, Dec. 10. To the Editor of The Bee:
A careful study into the causes of the accidents
from automobiles in our city will disclose that
there are about four well defined causes for
the collisions and personal accidents.
Cause 1. Travel on some streets in excess
of the carrying capacity of those streets.
Remedy 1. Reduce the amount or traffic on
those streets to what the streets will normally
carry, by requiring sojner kinds of traffic, such
as automobile trucks, to travel on certain
designed streets that will accommodate this
kind of travel the best, sucn, ror example, as
selected streets in the wholesale districts.
Cause 2. Street blockading- by excessive
Darklntr of cars.
Remedy 2. On those streets or sections or
streets that have the very large traffic, prohibit
parking of cars under the half-hour rule or
longer-time rule. This regulation should apply
especially to Sixteenth street from Capitol ave
nue to Leavenworth, and on Farnam from
Thirteenth to Eighteenth streets.
Cause 3. The dangerous confusion of traf
fic that results from two-way travel on our
principal thoroughfares. This results in many
collisions between automotmes at street in
tersections and also the bewildering of
pedestrians by the cars coming suddenly irom
two directions.
Remedy 3. Have an ordinance passed ap
plying the "One-way travel rule to two par
allel streets on well defined routes of travel
This should especially be applied to the travel
to and from Florence. Dundee. Benson and
South Omaha. Let the travel toward Florence,
for example, be on one street and the travel
from Florence be on a parallel and adjacent
street. Thus at street intersections the drivers
would be on their guard for automobiles com-
inr from one direction only instead or two.
Pedestrians, too. would have to guard against
automobiles going in one direction only. This
would greatly add to their safety.
Cause 4. careless ana recKiess driving.
Remedy 4. Severe punishment without fear
or favor so that it will be remembered by the
culprit and the offenses not repeated.

More About Farm Life,
Edgar, Neb., Dec. 10. To the Editor of The
Bee: May I be excused for returning so soon?
But you know, although farmers do take pa
pers, there are many things yet that we do
not understand. This is what is worrying me
now: "My father lost his farm." "Now, why?
Did he speculate? Did he drink; Did he
buy luxuries? Did he keep too many hired
hands, or possibly, as ."farming was all he
knew" he may not have been able to find it
again when he returned from town. Mrs. H. H.
was not verv explicit.
Last summer we hired a "hand" at $4 a day.
We fed him 21 days to get 12 days' work. Hard
on the hand: but think of the farmer once.
His bed was one usually occupied by one of the
family. In most respects he was a model
hand. Yet he dropped a cigaret on the bed
and burned two sheets and a quilt, and kept
the. entire house perfumed with vile tobacco.
(We don't use tobacco here.)
Possibly living on a farm with all the
rich food ascribed to farmers, makes for poor
cooks and "dirty housekeepers." But Is all
the filth in the farm homes?
"Never, to my knowledge, has a farmer
or bunch of them contributed in any way, etc"
Is she omnipresent? Twenty million farm fami
lies and she can watch them all? Nine hundred
and thirty-six dollars and five cents for The
Bee's shoe fund to date. Had Red Oak'a popu
lation been represented by 25 cents each that
would double it easily, and yet why shouldn't
a small town contribute to the city poor? I
fear it is the time-honored beam."
"He was glad to go back to the farm."
Why don't you go back to the farm, Mrs. H.?
"Your farmer friend must have been wealthy
to come and go as he pleases. Do you stop
for the lack of the $3,000 necessary to start
farming, or because you cannot do the work,
or you dislike the neighbors? Why don't we
go to town? Well, Just now that $3,000 worth
of property might bring as much as $300 sec
ond hand, you know, and that wouldn't buy us
clothes fit to associate with our town neighbors.
Are all the "little bills'' for town life? Let's
see. The milk strainer needs mending: the
separator tank needs soldering; the milk pail
gave out; the washtub leaked; the windmill
broke; the oil can'a empty; the horse broke
loose, damaging buggy and harness; the chick
ens need medicine; the horse kicked out the side
of the barn, required lumber and liniment;
taxes due; telephone rent oh, help!
I agree with Mr. Daly In one respect it is
said that a patriotic New Yorker who built a
mansion when the t government was begging
for carpenters for war work, has formed a plan
to set the working people of the farms and of
the cities against each other. But even believ
ing this, does any one who is struggling to keep
out of the poor house like to be told he is a
narrow-minded, illiterate creature, who lived
in a "luxurious, filthy, backwoods ditch.

The foregolmr suKgestlons are
from Dr. Mltchener of North Caro

ing that babies especially should be
shielded from whooping cough.
Let us sum It up this way: The
baby must not be allowed to come
near any person with whoon'lng

one can be expected to die.
petween 1 and 2 years of age the
death expectancy is one In 10; be

There are those who hold that
whooping cough is not contagious
after whooping has started. It is
certain that it ceases to be con

stops.
Dr. iitcheners suggestions for
treatment are:
1. Follow the doctor's advice.
2. Watch the baby closely.
3. Keep the sick child separated
from the rest of the family.
4. Cover up the cough and sneeze.
5. Sterilize by boiling handker

B. writes: "My wife suffered with
a severe attack of gallstones recently
and does not appear to recover her
strength. She has had no medicine
