Newberry Case.
In 132 years of its existence, the United States
senate has expelled but one of its members Wil
liam II, Lorinier of Illinois. Accusations have
been made against others, and at least two have
resigned under conditions that might have justi
fied expulsion, but in only the one case has the
enate acted adversely to a member holding a
seat. So it is not in the nature of a surprise that
Truman II. Newberry was voted to have been
duly elected senator from the stale of Michigan
and entitled to a "seat in the body. Mr. New
berry's expression of gratification that three and
one-half years of "persecution" ends in vindica
tion will arouse some derison among those who
are familiar with the facts in the case.
What is more to the point is the stern denun
ciation by the senate of the methods employed
in the Michigan election of 1918. This indict
ment does not merely include Senator Newberry
and the committee that spent the money in his
name, but concerns Americans in general. At one
time the United States senate was derisively called
"the millionaires' club," not that any obloquy or
disgrace attaches to being a millionaire, but to
suggest that only one able to pay the price might
find his, way thither. To cure this, the Constitu
tion was amended! so as'to permit of the direct
nomination and election of senators by the people.
Michigan offers a distinct challenge to this sys
tem. Nor is it alone in the selection of senators
that mpney is lavishly used, and Michigan is not
the only offender.' Six; years ago Iowa witnessed,
a gubernatorial campaign that astonished all who
cxamineitjnto the facts by. the prodigal use of
money in" the interests of the- candidates.:. No
charge ever was made that this money was not
expended for legitimate purposes of publicity, but
it did exceed in totals what had. been considered,
reasonable. No scandal was made of it, nor tfid
the.'; defeated democratic candidate endeavor to
secured the .'unseating', of the elected republican.
What was shocking -was the disclosure that less
than a millionaire,-with ample financial backing;
could nothbpe to aspire to be governor of Iowa;
Practices then prevailing have,' have 'been ex
tensively revised, and Iowa redeemed from dan
ger of great scandal. '
1 Nebraska has seen' something similar. It is
probably true in all the states of the union. En
deavoring to place .the power more completely
in the hands "bf the people,, the primary, laws
and the direct election of senators have so in
creased the cost of conducting 'campaigns, and
without illegitimate use xi money, that .the end is
in effect defeated.'- ' " i, "
, ,'The Bee has.' hitherto expressed its opinion
as to Newberry, and has stated that as between
him and his opponent the choice is easily made.
But The Bee also hopes that some way will .be
devised for carrying on elections without the em
ployment of such huge sums of money as now
appear to have been regarded as necessary in
Michigan, Wealth , should not be considered a
bar to office, nor lack of it an' insurmountable
handicap.: , " ' ,
Cut Teachers' Pay Last of All. 1
A dangerous .recommendation js that passed
by the Nebraska , Association , of School Boards
suggesting a reduction jn- the pax of teachers.
There is need' of public economy, but it would be a
mean parent indeed who would sacrifice' the - best
interests of his children for the sake of a few dol
lars.. jThere are many persons, - of course, who
have no children, and yet who pay sdfbol taxes,
but inasmuch' as almost all of then had their
day in the public school, they ought hot complain.
The wages of teachers, especially in the rural
districts, were for s long time disgracefully low,
but in late year's have been brought up to a, higher
level.. There ought to be no indecent, Iwste in
setting them back again. Jf the price of farm
products does rise as it should, to a. level of 60
per cent above; prewar rates, Tt vvill not be so
difficult, to maintain schools at their present s,tate
of efficiency. '.. ' - ;
The higher the wage paid to those who
educate our. children, the higher th. quality of
man and woman that will be drawn into the
teaching profession. Lower pay for teachers un
doubtedly Would drive many fine characters out
of the profession and leave their' places to be
supplied by mediocrity. " " 1
Books for the Hospitals.
..The request from the. city library that books
be donated to the use of patients in the hospitals
brings up a point that deserves consideration.
P-h nf the. Omaha hntnitaJs is credited with
having a certain number of free beds to which
are admitted patients unable to pay for care. On
this is predicated a claim for consideration from
the public, as to exemption from taxes and for
certain: donations from time to tune. This latter
sat wttl include books that are laying around the
kjfcsa, read and put aside because others have
come on. Omaha's ropon.e to the c! of tha
army was very gfiieroui, and nio.t homes were,
(airly well stripped of books that could b spared,
but enough time ha elped to provide a few at
lent, and the service that thot wilt get in ths
hospital it ample excue to warrant the requett
that is 'made. Some day, maybe, tht hospitals
will have fund wherewith to provide such things
(or their patients, but till then a generous public
will have opportunity lo sttlit in ameliorating
the situation of those who art so unfortunate as
to be confined to botpital by giving books, old
or new, that provide wholr.oaie reading (or in
valids who are permitted to read.
Forestry and the Cabinet.
GifTord Pinchot will make the public take no
tice of a phse of the McCermick bill (or rear
ranging the president's cabinet. In the schedule
of adjustments the Bureau of Forestry Is
twitched from the Agricultural to the Interior
department. No good rraton is apparent (or the
change, arid, on the other hand, many good rea
sons (or not disturbing the situation exist. Ths
community of Interest between forestry and agri
culture it the greatest of these. Some enthuiiss
tie objectors are taking up Alaska at the illus
tration to prove that the deal hat in it a sinister
motive, and that its consummation will allow the
exploitation of (orestt and mines because of re
moving control of resources from the regulations
of the one department to that of the other. Nearer
home may be (ound arguments as potent against
the scheme.
The Colorado Farm Bureau, meeting in an
nual convention last month at Fort Collins,'
adopted a memorial to congress, in which it was
set out what it considers strong ressons (or re
taining forestry under the Department of Agri
culture, saying among other things:
The administration of the national forests
is largely technical in character, and the neces
sary technique is not mainly engineering, but
is either agricultural or closely analogous, util
izing experts from the Bureau of Entomology
to formulate plfns to combat forest insects,
pathologists from the Bureau of Plant Industry
to plan forest sanitation, co-operating with the
Biological survey to exterminate predatory ani
mals, and the county agricultural agents for the
better handling of the farm woodlot. . . .
Finally we believe that the work of adminis
trating the forest service should not be decen
tralized or divided among various departments
more than is absolutely necessary, and that the
Department of Agriculture is the only" proper
group of bureaus logically suited for directing
forestry work. '
Nebraska farmers are not jet vitally con
cerned in this, but they soon will be, and there
fore they should exert some of their influence
to aid in preventing the making of a great mistake.
France Turning to the Light.
The shock produced by the dramatic resigna
tion of Aristide Briand as premier of France has
had the effect of slowing down the politicians
who were pursuing him. It was clever enough
for M. Poincare and his fellow conservatives,
when not responsible, to daily demand the pound
of flesh from Germany. When confronted with
responsibility, the enterprise takes on a different
aspect. Neither of the Entente Allies is de
ceived, nor is the world misled, by the poverty
plea of the Germans. The method of payment
must be adapted to the necessities, however. If
France has anticipated settlement, and has issued
a large sum in securities to be paid for from
German . reparations, embarrassment resulting
therefrom should be borne by France alone, and
not by the world at large. That the situation has
been extensively muddled by. the acts of the.
German government, which has put out hun
dreds of . billions of paper marks, with nothing
behind them, will not excuse the Germans. They
will in the end be compelled to make good. These
facts are shown clearly to Paris and Berlin by
the light which Briand's resignation has loosened.
The Genoa conference wilt . be held, and the
United States 'will undoubtedly, be represented,
there, but all delegates will attend with the un
derstanding that the alternative to payment of
international obligations is repudiation. To the
United States senate two weeks ago Senator
Owen, said the people of Europe are not bank
rupt, either' financially or morally. This is true
beyond question, but the governments of Europe
have wasted a lot of time trying to accomplish
the impossible. ,No miracle has appeared, and
it now seems probable that the inevitable will be
admitted and the nations go to work, with a de
termination to pay their debts. V
' ; The Movie Star's Pay Check.
, Perhaps it is envy, but.most people have never
been able to understand the justification of the.
high salaries paid to moving 'picture folks. PosV
sibly not every American could fill the bill as a
star comedian or shine in any other, film role.
Yet the actual service rendered the. world by an
impersonator of cowboys ' or ('the heroine of a
shadowy 'romance can not be said to be greatly
in excess of the good produced by the ordinary
man or woman who is in more prosaic and less
lucrative employ.- ' . -
If a waiter receives $20 a week, he may find
it rather hard to comprehend why an actor should
be paid $2,000 a week for giving a poor imitation
of him. It remains to be proved thathe stand
ard size film star possesses any unusual qualifica
tions. How much of the women's beauty is their
own no gentleman would inquire. Nor has it
ever been considered proper to discuss their act
ing as critically as if they were actually on the
stage. The news that Charlie Chaplin has brains
and, consequently, .ideas A and flasfics of lucid
thought, still flabbergasts the world. So far as
known, similar mental endowment has not been
claimed, for any onexlse in the movies. :; ,
It is announced by one of the film corpora
tions that the salaries, of all its force will be cut
10 to 20 per cent This is not gogjg to hurt the
quality of the pictures one bit, for all a "movie
actor can do is-movie act These impersonators
of successful business men, brawny laborers and
heroic detectives are not likely to become actual
competitors for these feal life jobs.- Some of
these stars are mighty popular, but the cut in
their salaries is even more so.
One of the most necessary things about a
tariff is that its rates shall be permanent so tht
business will at all times know just what condi
tions to meet.- The proposal to put the matter of
sliding import duties up or down-in the hands
of President Harding, or even a tariff commis
sion, appetfrs to violate this principle.
The slogan of 1921 was to the effect that it
would reward fighters; the new year, on the con
trary, is one that will reward peacemakers.
That deficit of $800,000 in the treasury of the
Chicago Opera company proves that music can
rot be had for a song.

TODAY'S IDLE THOUGHT.
It isn't always the pedestrian who gets killed
by the automobile. Sometimes the owner of the
old bus works himself to death trying to earn
enough money to keep it in repair.
. 1 THE FAMILY TREE.
I greatly admire my family tree,
For I believe in a pedigree;
I like to think that I come from stock
That dared to land on the Plymouth Rock;
I like to think that I got my eyes
From some of those folks both great and wise,
' And I smile when I think I have a jaw
Like some great kin who studied law.
. But come to think of at family tree,
One of those branches stands for me!
Yet that is different I wonder why?
And it really seems a bit awry
; But say, when my kids spy that family tree,
And look at the limb that stands for me,
I hope they'll say, as sure as sin,
'Why, now I know where I got my grin!"

AFTER-THOUGHT: The foroer is always
ready to write a wrong. . PHILO.
Killjoys and the Conference.
.Senator Edge, replying to some criticism of
the armament conference, asks the question,
"Why not join iu the acclaim?" . .
Why.not, indeed? There is acclaim, and .well
justified." The conference . was called with ex
cellent intent, excellently stated. The presi
dent' actioA was applauded all over the world:
and certainly the conference has been conducted
with dignity and much success. If nothing else
stood to its credit but a god deal does the fact
that the world's post-war situation stands more
clearly revealed now and more accurately ap
praised than before would entitle the conference
to the highest respect.
The New Jersey senator then lays this in
junction on the critics: "Don't lead the kill
joysl" -.
It U a good injunction. Unfortunately, every
movement, every situation, produces killjoys.
They inhere in human affairs. This conference
could not have escaped them. If every question
presented had been disposed of promptly and by
unanimous action, there would still have been
killjoys. -
But such persons are unusually obndxious at
a time like the present, and in the circumstances
that exist. Feverishness and anxiety rack the
world today. Serious men everywhere are con
fabulating about remedies; and surely every
proposition having relief in view should be con
sidered without heat or hate, and supported
when approved by orderly examination. And
such examination is provided for in the senate,
where the work of the conference, when com
pleted, will be passed upon. Washington Star,

From tha health standpoint no

Before It Ri ta far lnnldo tha air la

out of the now. It la about body
tempemture and contains about 8
per cent molnture all It can hold.
To heat the 24 hours' aupply of
air require the lntakn of a good
ileal of food. To aupply it with the
inuiitture needed to brliifC up the per
rentage requires an abundance of
wytter. ,
Lastly, a moderate amount df
water Is exereted by the bowels.
If, after the needs of urine, sweat
and expired air have been met, the
Intake of water ha been ample to
nupply the contents of the lower
bowel,- then the bowel movements
are oh moist aa they need be.
If, however, the demand In other
directions Is exrenalve and the aup
ply taken as drink and food Is lim
ited, the result la dry lower bowel
content and consequent constipa
tion. . And now what does all this lead
to practically?
In summer when we sweat pro
fusely we may have constipation due
to lack of moisture in the contents
of the lower bowel. In the winter
when we live in the hot, dry air of
houses and the cold, dry air of the
outside there is constipation because
tho sweat and the breath use up
the moisture.
Living; in poorly ventilated, over
heated houses is, therefore, the most
important cause of constipation.
Humldifyinsr the air is better than
taking purgatives.
Foods Containing Iron.
O. "W. writes: "Will you kindly

' "Can a person who has been struck
across the face and arms during
three nghts by a person witn a nerce

months pregnant. Also, can a per

possibly "mark" the unborn child.

To find the reaaon for tha prevent

advanced their rediscount from 4
per cent, ultimately to 7 per cent.
Many banks which had been lend

and redlNcountlng the note at the
Federal bank for 4 per cent were
forced to mark up their loan. The
presure was moat aevero at the top
of the pile, where ihe farmer and
manufacturer needed fund badly

a hixh scale of price. Confidence
was shaken, price began to drop, and
the Inflation of 1911 crashed down.

low rediscount rate so long as the
government was borrowing on short

was rising. On August Si, 119, the
national debt reached its peak, and
since then has steadily declined.

Omaha, ."an. 9. To. the Editor of
The Bee: A few weeks ago when J
was in an African wilderness hunt
ing for giraffes to put in my menag
erie, and was encamped one dark
night at the great bend of the
Ngongpo river, I heard a familiar
sound that startled and surprised
me. I sat up and rubbed my eyes
and said to myself: "Why. there's
an autorfioblie from Omaha. ' I
thought there was not a white man
within 600 miles of this place." In
the morning I asked my guide and
interpreter if he heard that sound,
and what made" it. and he said: "O,
yes. I have heard the same noise
before. That was a hyena with, a
bellyache." . F. COCHRAN.

When the Hon. W. D. Oldham
arises to call the democratic banquet'
ers to order, next Saturday evening
at the Kontenelle he may in fancy see
the handwriting on the wall of tho
prophecy that tho lato Frank T. Ran
som made at St. Louis during the na
tional democratic convention in 1916.
Mr. Ransom was a gifted lawyer
and his clients were frequently spe
cial privilege corporation, but he had
some sense of Justice and his meas
ure of public opinion was very ac
curate.
The political greeks are bearing
all kinds of gifts and there is a wild
scurrying among the pie tasters to
sound the tocsin for a new dispensa
tion to forget and forgive, but there
will be one national figure in the
democratic firmament who will be
very conspicuous by his absence. This
state and interstate political char
acter who can raise more hell in
one minute than the democratic ma
chine can straighten out in a week
is quietly sitting on the lid.
Ho is neither asking nor offering
quarter. To all appearance the poli
sical Cider press which he used in
1920 to reduce the Hltchcock-Mullen-Neville-Shallenberger
machine to
proper proportions shows no sign of
rust or wear. H,e makes no bones
about his refusal to support any
ce-ndidate who worships at the altar
of the big four.
From present indications it looks
as though the Kilkenny fair might
be held in Nebraska this year.
Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
Are Ycu Handicapping Your
Your Children.
Perhaps you did not have many
educational advantages and vou have
done pretty well better than many
ot the men you Know wno nave naa
a much better schooling than you
had. ':
Because of this fact you feel that
it would be a waste of money to
give your children more than an ord
inary education. ;
' Well, perhaps you have been suc
cessful, but you can look back at
many instances where you might
have been still more successful if
you had been better equipped in an
educational sense.
Also you -must consider that times
have changed since you were younjr.
People generally are betftr educat
ed. ,
Many of the jobs you held while
young could not be procured today
by a person with as little education
as you possessed yhen ou held them.
In all lines of work the person
with mind training is sought and
is given the preference.
Would you handicap your children
throughout their entire lives by start
ing them out with a poor education?

Parents' Problems
What can be done to help a child
who is afraid during a thunder storm
to overcome the fear?
There is only one thing to do, the
hardest thing, to show no fear one's
self. If you arc in the country take
the child outdoors to watch the ap
proach of the! storm, and treat it as a
magnificent exhibition of beauty and
power. .During the storm distract
the child's mind by playing games or
by reading aloud. Do not let tne
child hear of the actual danger to
life. If, unfortunately the child has
read, or been told of being struck
by lightning, do not pretend to deny
the danger, but explain that, con
sidering the number of storms and
the number of people exposed, it has
been computed that an individual is
exposed to as much danger front
ialling tiles and bricks, in walking
down a street as he is from light
ning.
