"Knowledge 1$ Power."
. The unmistakable impression gathered from
the letter written by a correspondent from Gib
bon, Neb.; is that those whose destiny it is to
be numbered among the toilers who do the
drudgery of the world, forever engaged in its
menial and unpleasant tasks, are to be also de
. nied any comfort or consolation of education.
Because they are unable to break the material
, ahackles that bind them to a melancholy fate,
they also are to remain without intellectual
pleasures.
The argument that education unfits the in
dividual for doing useful work, even when that
takes on the form of manual labor, is without
any real support. On the contrary, many gradu
ate! from our state universities and other In
stitutions of higher learning have, gone onto
farms; some have even pioneered and helped
to develope new agricultural regions. In all the
killed trades highly educated men will be found,
and men of genuine culture have engaged in
toil of the dullest sort, merely for the reason that
it was all that' opened to- them a way to earn a
living. These men do not long remain in such
positions, because they have the energy to lift
themselves. v
Nor is it true that this country was pioneered
by uneducated men. . Before the English had
planted t,he first colony at Jamestown the Span
iard had set up a printing press and opened a
school at the City of Mexico. At Jamestown
and at Plymouth Rock were men who had
studied at Oxford, Cambridge, Leydon, Geneva,
and tven at Salamanca and Vallodolid. The
Caverlys brought learning with them to Mary
land, and William Fenn saw to it that the Quakers
were not without the school master. It is
true that the means for learning were scant and
crude in the frontier settlements, but such as
they were they were employed to the utmost,
and as the nation grew in wealth and strength
it extended its facilities for providing instruction,
until now education is within the reach of all,
and the law requires that all must share in it to
a certain extent.
Our country is great, because its people are
Intelligent and literate. Their minds are opened
up, all the knowledge of all the world is at their
command, and they are capable, not only of ap
plying it but also of extending it If boys and
girls are kept longer at school today than was
the custom a few years ago, it is because we
have advanced to where the importance of hav
ing them trained in cultural knowledge exceeds
the demand for their presence in industry. If
some extend their studies into years of maturity,
the general cause of civilization is the better
- served by reason of the added' value of enlight-
enment flowing from their research. .
Education does not unfit for work; it will
alter the nature of most work, and transmute
drudgery into pleasure, because it will giva the
vision that discloses the usefulness of all work,
and the consciousness that all toil, however
homely and obscure, adds to the sum of human
happiness, because it is necessary that it be
done. i
Betting on the Farmers. ".
It used to be that every farm magazine was
filled with stories of how this or that man made
immense profits from his crops. The fashion
now is changed, as it should be, for these ex
ceptional cases were accepted by the outside
public as the rule. In no other line of business
do the technical publications boast in this way
of their, profits. On the other hand, a mistake
equally serious may be made in looking only at
the dark side of the farming business and paint
ing conditions entirely with deep blue gloom.
Liberal credit is now available for agricul
tural purposes through th,e War Finance cor
poration. This would not be the case unless
those in authority were confident of the return
of profit to the business of food production.
From top to bottom the government is betting
- n the farmers. President Harding's message
demfesptrated his conviction, not only that farm
ing could be rehabilitated, but that certain steps,
uch as the encouragement of co-operative mar
keting and obtaining lower freight rates, must
be taken in order to make sure of recovery.
A live stock commission broker reports that
cattle bought on the market for the last four or
five months are making a little money for the
men who' have fed them. He asserts that this
is especially true of low-priced cattle, and tells
of selling cattle that cost $4.65 per hundred
pounds 100 days ago for $675. A good many
steers that cost $4 per hundred, fed on corn from
60 to 80 days, are said to have sold for from
$120 to $6 per hundred. "There is still a lot
of stuff coming to market that is losing money,"
h said, and cites the instance of two loads of
cattle bought a year and a naif ago at $9.75 and
which sold lately at $5.50. These cost $150 more
, than they brought, and in addition the stockman
was out the cost of the feed, taxes, interest and
labor.
It does appear, however, thai there is profit
in feeding cattle now. There is opportunity In
putting four legs on this chtap corn.
J. M. Flannlgan, secretary of the War Finance
corporation for Nebraska, declares that there Is
no reason why the feed lots and pastures should
not be filling up. The credit is available through
this government agency, sad once full confidence
is developed, live stock operations may be ex
pected to resume their normal volume.
Business at Christ Would. ,
Right at the start, let us admit what Is
apparent, that none of us knows what Christ
would do, were he engaged in business nowa
days. Many think they do, but on close examina
tion it will be discovered that they are giving
to the teachings of Christ arbitrary interpretation
and undertaking to apply that interpretation to
the other fellow rather than to themselves. Christ
taught very simply, and because of the simplicity
of His teachings the sophists of the last 20 cen
turies have been enabled to spring a wilderness
of words about principles that are crystal clear
when taken as laid down by the Galilean.
- Probably the simplest rule He laid down for
the guidance of men, one that is applicable to
business and to any of the activities of human
life, is: "Whatsoever you would that men should
do to you, do you even so to them." Is this
rule capable of b,elng applied to business? In
Cincinnati a successful clothing manufacturer as
serts he has run his business on that basis for
many years. It Is known as the "Golden Rule"
company. How closely the rule has been ad
hered to we can not say, but it is a fact that
the assertion has not been successfully chal
lenged. Down in Georgia another concern is
about to embark Oh business enterprise, an
nouncing in advance it will be guided by Christ's
teachings. Whether these are to be the simple
texts contained in the Scripture, or the con
clusions reached by the exegetists, will be dis
closed as the progress of the concern makes them
known.
The Gospels are full of allusions to busi
nesses of various kinds, and many of the' illumina
tive comparisons or parables deal with ventures
in commerce or industry, because Christ sought
figures that would be easily understood by those
who heard Him. He did not lay down a rule
that can not be followed, and he did plainly
state that no man "can serve God and mammon."
The square deal as the solid, satisfactory basis
for human relations was taught before Christ
came on earth. It is now and has at all times
been admitted as the correct principle for deal
ings between man and man. Therefore it is
not to the credit of man that it is not now the
universal rule.
Life is probably no more complex now than
it was in the days of Christ, nor is His rule
for action more generally ignored or( distorted.
This is not because the principle is not capable
of being applied, but because men will not apply
it. Little sustenance is obtained from gnaw
ing a file, and the issue here presented is one
that will be answered by individual and not by
mass action. When Christ's rule is substituted
for the prevailing one, "Do the other fellow be
fore he gets a chance to do you," the world will
be much happier.
Envy Not Warranted.
Senator Hitchcock's newspaper continues to
indulge in hysterics over the conduct of a
weekly farm paper owned by Governor Mc
Kelvie. It remarks that the Nebraska Farmer
"is reported to have earned for him (the gov
ernor) a very comfortable income." Well, why
not? The senator's newspaper has earned for
him not only a comfortable but a luxurious
income, running well into six figures every year,
for some years. He should not envy another
publisher the mere bagatelle (as rated by his
own success) of a few thousands a year. The
Bee does not know whether or not Senator
Hitchcock is warrantd in his apparent fear that
Governor McKelvie may be a candidate against
him when he seeks re-election next year. The
governor has not announced his intention. It
does know that, if Governor McKelvie should
run and be elected, the profits of his weekly
newspaper will not support him in anywhere near
the magnificence which Nebraska's present senior
senator enjoys by reason of his own newspaper
revenue.
Beyond Man's Ken or Jurisdiction.
Public intere. In the return from Europe of
a popular motion picture lady was titivated by
reports that she was bringing many new gowns,
on the display of which before the camera might
be predicated definite and probably sweeping
changes in woman's outward apparel. About the
same time, from another source, came an equally
interesting announcement to the general effect
that, regardless of what the Freneh may do in
the matter of lengthening gowns, American
women will do as they please.
And there you have it. The outside world
may marvel, but the folks at home know that
when an American woman declares her inten
tion of doing as she pleases that the argument
is over. It is, in the likeable French of the
A. E. F., "feenee." No other woman in all
the world can show the same good reason for
wearing 'em short possessed by the American.
She not only has the best shoes and stockings,
sne naa me tnapcnr.gr iooi, me snmejt anKies,
and well, you finish the list
Add to this a generous endorsement from
eminent medical men, who find in the short skirt,
the seemingly scantiness of the costume, a dis
tinct advantage in the way of improved health.
We have occasionally wondered if this had any
thing to do with the fashion, but whether it
has or not, the fashion will stay if the American
woman wants it to. She is captain of her soul,
all right, when it comes to deciding this great
question. Mere man is as silent and as use
less here as the "x" in fish.
The War Finance corporation has advanced
$15,000,000 on wheat, $5,920,000 on live stock,
$13,000,000 on cotton and $16,000,000 for gen
eral agricultural purposes. This totals about
$50,000,000, a sum large enough to exert a help
ful influence in restoring business life.
They are taking the Irish Free State seriously

This li the centenary of the

About 25 men who llvo In thin

wayfarers and In rescuing thoa lost

are on call for rcucue expeditions at
all houra of the day and night, and,
once a week, that they may keep
themnelve in good wind, they turn
out for a long, exhuuxttng-, training
outing.
It la the cudtom to keep each
monk on tha station 'for from 15 to
20 years and then to tninnfer him
to Blmplon push, which la only 6,000
feet above ea level, or to asHlen him
to a parish In eome mountain valley.
in the loo years more than 100
men, picked for their youth and
atrenKth, have spent 15 or 20 years
at mis elevation above sea level.
and endured the exposure which
cornea in th winter.
It is possible to get a line on the
healthfulneaa of h!eh elavatlona and
life In the open In cold weather
from . the century long experience
of these men.
In 1839 three died from typhoid
fever. A traveler brought the dis
ease to the monastery, and three
deaths among: attendants followed.
Two died from consumption many
years ago. Theae two came Into the
monastery together and. it la said.
were Infected when they came In.
If so, the disease progressed only
slowly, for one died eight years
after he located at St. Bernards,
and the other 13 years after going
there.
One died from epilepRy, one from
peritonitis, and four from ava
lanches or other accidents.
The station has been remarkably
free from coughs, colds and all In
fections and eruptive diseases.
The average age attained by these
men at Simplon and In the valley
parishes to which they have been
transferred has been very high.
in addition to their own health
conditions they have been able to
make some valuable observations on
the effects of altitude. One Is that
apoplexy Is much more important
as a cause of death among persons
at high altitudes than it is among
other peoples.
The conclusion Is that most of the
deaths at high altitudes, ascribed to
heart disease, are really due to
apoplexy. '
That being true, it Is the man
with heart disease, who should avoid
nign altitudes. .
Consumptives do best at an alti
tude of 7,500 to 8,000 feet. Colds,
infections and eruptive fevers are
not of much consequence at the
high altitudes.
At about 6,000 feet open sores ex-
posed to the sunlight do not un
dergo septic processes. The sun
light at high altitudes has a maxi
mum heating power. A man at St.
Bernards pass can lie on a sun bank
at midday in the sunlight and sleep
comfortably without blankets over
or under him.
The sunlight, likewise, has more
power to kill germs and purify the
air, the soil and the water.
There is advantage to health and
physical vigor In subjecting the
body at the same time to the stimu
lating effects of cold air and to the
warming effects of the sunlight, as
it is on the mountain tops.

ply th same principle In other

it Is a very seductive way of un
dermining slat control over state
affairs. On th plea that th fed
eral government should help in cer
tain alleged Improvements, congress
passes' a measure appropriating
money to states that make equiva
lent appropriations of their own,
but the provisions of such measures
are usually such that the state must
surrender authority over the ex
penditure of its own money. The
effect is to open th door to federal
bosses over state undertakings.
Quite a number of measures of that
kind have been enacted, the mom
recent instance being the maternity
bill. There Is a strong Influence at
work to promote the same kind of
federal control over education' in
the states. The federal appropria
tion is used as a bait to catch both
a state appropriation and a state
surrender of proper authority.
There may be cases in whloh such
a policy Is allowable, but they are
only In undertakings involving in
terstate commerce and other inter
state affairs. They have no place in
purely state sovereignty and ad
ministration. They vitiate state en
deavor while fulling to create an ef
fective federal substitute. Tht
states do not even gain any money
by it, for their people have to turn
around and pay in federal tax all
they get by such processes.

Perpetual Existence Q
Mince Pie of 1921
For Stoop Shoulders.
Mrs. W. G. writes: "1. I have a
child 10 years old. She is well de
veloped, weighing 90 pounds, but
walks with a slight stoop. I correct
her whenever I can, and make her
stand erect, but can't be with her
always. In the last few months a
few small blotches came out on her
arms and then a few on her cheest.
The school nurse examined her and
prortounced them ringworm and
painted them with iodine. 2. Would
you please tell me what Is the cause
and remedy for both the stooped
shoulders and the ringworm? 3. Is
the ringworm contagiouB?"
, REPLY. .
v 1. The remedy for a slight stoop
is development of the muscles of the
back and neck. Get her in a gym
nasium. Work on ladders, ropes
and bars is good. So ia rowing.

2. Ringworm is due to a germ.

giv will cure most of the cases.
3. Yes.
Cancer of Rectum.
For the benefit of others F. W.
K. relates his experience with a can
cer of the rectum, writing:
"I feel that I am a fair example
of a result of Ignorance of an ever
present danger, and too confident an
assurance that this scourge is not
for such as us. My lisease had
progressed for a year before I sus
pected it. I had no constipation,
while I had a frequent imperative
desire to go to stool and the passage
left a feeling that the bowel was
never emptied. I never had large,
explosive bowel movements, alter
nating with constipation. I never
had indigestion, nor nausea. I had
no pain. There may have been a
little blood in the stool at the last.
When I lost eight pounds in weight
and felt like going to the toilet con
stantlyi I consulted a physician and
he found a well-advanced cancer.

Terhaps it is tuhltu advantage
of the enemy to refer to the sub
ject of mince pie so soon after
Thanksgiving, but an aroused and
indignant public sentiment will not
be restrained. The old adherents
of that one-time great American in
stitution known ns mince pie cannot
longer be muzzled, A sacred old
edifice' seems tumbling sbout their
heads. For the old-fashioned mince
pie has been substituted a camou
flage under the same name, and loy
alty to an old friend compels the
exposure of the fraud.
What has become of the mince pie
of the fathers, which mother used
to make? Until that question is an
swered a large .nd riotouB party of
American citizens will march under
the banner of H. G. Wells proclaim
ing that civilization la threatened
and the social order is crumbling.
This new dish that was placed be
fore us on Thanksgiving day, to glvr
the finishing touch to an otherwise
artistic dinnei1 of the old type, was
tasteless, lacking substance and
without a kick. It did not smack
of the old fireside companion of an
other day when mince pie was a top- ;
liner on the Thanksgiving menu,
along with the turkey and the cran
berry sauce. Why, in that day j
mince pie had, to borrow an expres- !
sien from the prize ring, everything. ;
Rich mincemeat, seasoned with cin
namon, and with something that has
fallen under the ban of the eight
eenth amendment, and -sprinkled
with raisins. It had the taste and
It had the punch that made a place
for itself even' after a. full meal at
a Thanksgiving dinner.
The imposter that was brought In
to us the other day labeled mince
pie lacked even the adornment of
the real thing. For our old-time
friend had a thin top crust out of
which there oozed that's the proper
word for it oozed the rich, Juicy
intimation of the wealth of excel
lence of its "innards." But thf
camouflage of the modern mince pit
is clad in a thick top crust thai
gives it the appearance of bein?
