A link t-ttiin -t in a tea-put lias been aroused
! y tiltjcviiAni luilK'-tl acainst a proposed exhibi
tion liy a Kititm 01 IiIkIi cliool t;irls. Sonic whose
have not rrvei U'd lo the Grecian ilays felt
th.it tjtf rIiiltiiion wa4 not 0:1c properly to be
.-hiiwii be ore a mixed atnliincc. Hence the pro-
te-t that Mopped the performance. Naturally,
there was iiitn li disappointment among the girU
vIu) expected tu f.ike part and among the teach
i i h who had can fully trained them for the affair.
Thrie may he consoled ly the pro.-pect of giving
the klnns before tlic mothers and sister of the
pet lormi r. However, that docs not em! the ar
gument. There is much to he said on both sides. Fer
Mius who are neither prudi.li nor of undeveloped
tabled arc grieved by a modern tendency to per
mit the display of feminine physical charms in
public, A demand i made for the limitation of
such exhibitions at the theater as have gone on
to the point where absolute nudity no longer
Quicks the indurated onlooker. If public exhibi
tions of the sort arc to be frowned upon, why
not forbid private showing of a similar nature?
And, if public manners arc to be reformed, w hy
not start at home? It does not seem fair or just
to condemn the stage or the moving picture
house for showing what can not also be forbid
den at the high school. The difference here is in
degree only.
The Bee docs not believe that the high school
p.irls are lacking in modesty in any sense, or that
their teachers arc deficient in appreciation of
good morals and lax in application of them. Art
has sometimes led us away from safe anchorage
however; yet it might not be out of place to here
remind our readers that the most expensive piece
of canvas ever brought to America is "The Blue
Boy," a masterpiece of color and texture, rather
than an exhibition of an undraped figure. Botti
celli, Michael Atfgelo, Titian, Rembrandt, Rubens,
and a host of immortals live not because they
painted the nude, but because they caught the
vision of a lofty inspiration and transferred it to
'.lie canvas, with even angels wearing robes.
Finally, in ancient Greece, flimsy draperies were
not uncommon, and moral standards were much
different from those of the United States of
America. Our national life has always been a
lcflection of our home' life, and we have some
ideals that transcend in importance notions that
' may be borrowed from dead and gone pagans,
however much certain "moderns" may deplore
the undeveloped sense of the artistic that still
sustains a shock when too much of the female
figure is shown in its nakedness. A blush is a
good sign of a clean -mind, and the nation will
be safe as long as its girls and boys can blush.
"Hire a Hero" Week.
Today ushers in a six-day period that is to be
devoted to an intensive drive to secure employ
ment for ex-service men. No feature of the war
is so little creditable to us as a nation as the
plight of the ex-service men. We need not enter
into an extended discussion of economics, of bus
iness conditions, or anything of the sort. It is
admitted that times have been hard, jobs scarce,
unemployment widespread, and all the evidences
of material adversity have surrounded the homes
of the land. ; That is now rapidly passing away,
and jobs are coming up here and there, and for
these the ex-soldier boys are candidates. Not
all of them are skilled men, nor even trained
men, to the extent of being able to take hold
and make good on technical employment. But
every one of them is a go-getter, and capable of
doing something useful in business and industry,
p.nd for these The Bee bespeaks consideration.
1 f you are planning to extend in any way your pay
roll,' give the place to a former soldier, at least
until he shows, whether he is fit for the place.
If'you have any little extra employment, try him
out. This writing might be greatly extended by
recounting some of the hardships endured by
former members of the A. E. F. and their fami
lies, right here in Omaha, that exceed the experi
ences they encountered overseas. We can omit
that, however, but we do hope that when next
Saturday night comes, the boys we cheered on
their way to the depot four and five years ago
will feel that they have not been entirely for
gotten. "
Object to Method. Not Purpose.
The tramway has withdrawn its application
to the State Railway commission or permission
to shift its tracks from ore street to another. If
the letter accompanying the withdrawal is. cor
rectly quoted in publshcd accounts, an explana
tion should be made. Objection was laid, not
against the removal of the tracks, which would
be an improvement in the service, but against the
procedure of asking the state board to assume
jurisdiction over the city streets. The Bee be
lieves that the city commission and the public
will assent to having the tracks taken up from
Seventeenth street between Cass and Clark and
replaced on Sixteenth street from Cuming to
Clark. Such a move would be economical for
.he company, and a benefit to the service. The
existing route is a holdover from the days when
Omaha had horse, electric and cable tram
way systems, all competing and serving only a
part of the community. Other relit of that time

"Save at the Bunghole."

Cndt In it no promise of an eay solution of his
problem. It holds no attraction for liim save
that forced by necessity. Jt i hard and cold.
Yet frequently it i the only course. It has to
be done.
Summed up, that is the solution offered by
Xfbraka editors for the as problem of the state
and in governmental subdiviMons, as didoed
by a symposium printed elsewhere on this pane.
Answering The Hce's question as to what Ne
braska should do, the editors republican and
democratic alike wy: "F.conomize." More
specific suRBCMions are succinctly stated in this
typical answer from Editor Brown of the Kear
ney Hub:
"Get a day's work from every public servant
for a day's pay. Abolish sinecures. Demolish
the over-lapping bureau system. Remember
that public office is a public trust, not a private
snap. Save at the bunghole and the spigot
will not need watching."
That implies that not every public servant is
giving a day's work for a day's pay at present.
It implies that there are sinecures. It implies
that there are over-lapping bureaus. It implies
some officials do not look upon public office as a
public trust. Public officials will deny the truth
of these implications, but there can be little doubt
that the taxpayers are from Missouri and demand
to be "shown." The only answer which will
satisfy them is the certain assurance that those
leaks do not exist, or if they have, that they have
been stopped.
A significant and encouraging conviction is
shown by almost every statement, embodied in
Editor Brown's last sentence, "Save at the bung
hole and the spigot will not need watching." In
other words there is no demand that desirable
public work or service be eliminated. Rather
there is a demand that these not be crippled.
Waste must go; frills and furbelows must be cut
off. But the fundamental work of government
law enforcement, education, highway develop
ment must continue. There is a demand for
economy but not for a wrecking crew.
Another Prophet in Jail.
Mohandas K. Gandhi enters upon an enforced
retirement of six years without hard labor, leav
ing to his disciples the admonition to work hard
and despair not. His program of hard work con
sists in doing no work at all. Gandhi's mission
in life was to overthrow British influence in
India by the simple expedient of nonco-opera-tion.
This means that no one would do anything
that had any bearing whatever on government,
or the carrying out of the orderly processes of
organized society. When all hands abstained,
then there would be no government, for courts,
schools, tax offices and all the other agencies
would have vanished into the chaos of nonco-op
eration.
What Gandhi and his followers failed to take
due notice, of is that unless another government
wVe to take the place of the one they destroyed,
they would be worse off than when they started.
Any form of government is oppressive to cer
tain person, who object to restraint, and Gandhi
appears to be one of these. The Indian govern
ment is not obsessed with any foolish notions as
to its responsibility to itself and to the hundreds
of millions whose destiny it looks after. It pa
tiently abides an agitator until his presence be
comes either a nuisance or a menace. Then it
setires him from circulation, only to make way
for another.
The history of India for at least 40 centuries is
an unbroken record of the passage of a proces
sion of agitators. In the dear old days before
the English came these were disposed of in var
ious pleasant ways, such as being trampled by
elephants, fed to tigers, thrust into the den of
cobras, or otherwise adapted to the amusement
of the populace and the glorification of the
maharajah or ahkoond or satrap, or whatever the
title of the ruler, who lived in an atmosphere of
assassination.
If India has anything approaching liberty, it
was imported there by the British, and is not in
herent in, or indigenous to the country. Remove
British influence, and the country will swiftly be
come a seething inferno of dispute between petty
rulers and massive religions. No movement of
modern times has been quite so dangerous as that
of Gandhi, the "wonder worker."
Taxation and Government
Editorial Opinions As lo the
Creatcat o( Msbrstka Problems,
Battle for the Bonus.
Very soon the real battle for the soldier's'
bonus will be on in congress.' Speaker Gillett
is expected to very shortly signify how the mea
sure best may be brought before the house. Some
discussion already has been had over this point,
and a conference with the president is expected
to give leaders of the majority party in the house
;in inkling of what the executive is willing to
?gree to. The bonus measure is not going to
get by without a fight. The pledge made by
Representative Mondell, floor leader for the re
publicans, and by Chairman Fordney of the ways
and means committee, is supported by sufficient
strength to warrant prediction of redemption, so
far as the house is concerned. What the senate
may do the committee measure is quite another
thing. It is assumed that a majority in the sen
ate is favorable to a bonus of some kind, but
there is great diversity of opinion as just how
the charge shall be met. Until the measure has
passed the house, where appropriations must ori
ginate, it is not likely that any of the senators
will definitely commit themselves as to the form
they think the bonus should take. Much ham
mering will be employed before the bonus law
goes onto the books, but, if no great change
comes over the spirit of congress, such a law
will be enacted.

Nebraska can safely pursue a course in tax
reform by cutting school taxes, the enormous
appropriations to the state university and by not
matching all government appropriations, as these
taxes come out of the people's pocket in the end
and cause the state and counties to spend money
in a wasteful manner.

reductions in general expenses and cut out new

I presume you mean the kind
which tends to grow large.
They get in the way, are liable to
become infected and frequently set
up peritonitis. Therefore, they are
moderately serious. .
The operation for removal, if done
when the cyst is small, is only fair

large, it is far more serious. There
is no curative treatment except re.

them.

The love of Christ inn Scientists for
their children Is not less than that
of other good citizens. They linve,
in the religion they revere, that
which they have found to be better
for their offspring than tho henllng
agencies others may prefer. They
do not regard the (inutility of drugs
consumed as a true basis for esti
mating parental affection and care.
What objection can there be to hav
ing the sick healed in Christian
Science?
Christian Scientists will continue
to obey the Inws of the land. Pro
ceeding in this manner they are en.
titled to. and will receive, from pub
lic officials, the consideration prop
erly due to peaceable, law-abiding
Christian people.
This letter i written in the kind
ly spirit in which Mrs. Eddy has
said, "Students are advised by the
author to be 'Charitable and kind,
not only towards differing forma of
religion and medicine, but to those
who hold these differing opinions.
Lot us be fHithful in pointing the
way through Christ, as we under
stand it, but let us also be careful
always to "judge righteous judg
ment, and never to condemn rashly."

Scriptures, page 444.)

Progressive Party Not Dead.
Omaha, March IS. To the Editor
of The Bee: Presuming, of course,
that you read all of the 16-foot edi
torial in Senator Hitchcock's "La.
mentor" announcing the death of
the progressive' party, and that said
party was born in protest against
present state administration, the
senator's "Lamentor" evidently pre
served the suppressed letters to its
"Public Pulse." Begging the "La
mentor" to print the news as re
lated in Congressional Record, the
30 odd speeches of Senator Hotlin
in effort for investigation of federal
reserve system in politics, and
threatening a congressman for ex
posing federal reserve boards, defla
tion of money and credit. The ex
poDulist. senator and editor, have
enough letters of protest in its waste-
basket to drive Ivunp-Loeo & to.
Into desperation. No doubt Kuhn-
Loeb & Co. appreciate the senator's
predicament, his former speeches on
money question and the editor's
oceans of editorials.
Everv one of the senator's former
speeches and the editor's former ed
itorials stand up in meeting ana
laugh out loud at the senator's and
editor's present Kuhn-Loeb & Co.'s
Bank of Nations, twin brother to
Paul Warberg's federal reserve sys
tem that took the old populist boys
to a cleaning, and Mr. Wilson and
the senator looked on complacently
and suppressed the howl of deflated
democrats. The desperate editor and
senator knows why the progressive
party was born so do Kuhn-Loeb
& Co. They are all hearing about it.
In private they call it political revo
lution, and it is. The Jeffersonian
club is the honorary pallbearers as
sociation. They will deliver the po
litical remains to Kuhn-Loeb & Co.,

Occultism.
Omaha, March 12. To the Editor
of The Bee: Prof. Olerlch has late
ly had several lengthy letters in the
Omaha papers, stating his doubt and
disbelief in telepathy, mesmerism,
etc. This letter is not written with
any intention of converting or prov
ing to Prof. Olerich that telepathy,
hypnosis and mental healing are es
tablished facts (and as such are ac
cepted by many students of those
subjects), but it is written more for
the purpose of stimulating a more
general discussion of tnese subjects,
if The Bee will be kind enough to
give us space.
Hypnotism, telepathy and mental
healing have been demonstrated so
often that only those uninformed
on the subject or those blinded with
prejudice to the truth fail to believe
in it.
Prof. Olerich is a man of many
talents and achievements, but when
it comes to passing judgment on
psychic phenomena he proves a very
poor authority. He classifies the
i,i r,sMiHit witH some of the
crudest superstitions of the past or
with people afflicted with delirium
tremens. To deny hypnosis at this
day and age is going a little too far.
Just because hypnosis has been com.
mercalized and at times used for
evil purposes does not prove that it
is not possible to hypnotize.
The writer has made tests witn
hypnotized subjects that would con
vince anyone who witnessed them of
their reality. He has also made
tests with mental healing, using
thought power alone in treating dis
ease without an audible suggestion
being given, with the most gratify
ing results, proving, it to be scien
tific and based on natural law.
How does long-continued, anger,
sorrow or fear make people sick? It
is because these are wrong or de-

in Nebraska are claiming credit for
the defeat of the gas bill tnat. Mr
Kelvie wanted to saddle on the pe
pie of the state. f
How the democrats can claim tais
honor is hard to determine, for thfere
are only four of the D. O. P. In the
legislature and there are 129 G. O.

knocking McKelvie's little effort in
high finance in the head is due the
republicans who threw off the boss

proposed law the knockout blow.

devil and the deep sea. On one side
masses of the people. They wisely
chnsn Ihe Bif1n of tho neoDle and in
so doing have saved many from po
