Machine Gun Problem

The War department has acted wisely in NAM
ing special board of FIVE officers and two civil
ians to take up all the phases OF the machine gun
problem and determine finally on a type or types
Of such guns for use in the United States army
The situation was brought to crisis by the
charge of Colonel Isaac N, Lewis that his gun,
which Great Britain is using almost exclusively
in the field, was unjusty rejected by the ord
nance board
That very large element Of the American
public, recalling the blunders OF the past, has
been willing to sympathze with Colonel Lewis
can hardly be doubted. His gun was good, bet
ter than the older type guns, or 10000 OF the
weapons would not now be in use in North
France. Why was il turned down in Washington
Why was an Americans invention not acceptable
10 America
That is only ono OF the Questions that the new
board will have to answer. Whether two or more
types may be needed for different service is un-
decided How far the guns we have in use can
be depended on will be debated The fact seems
10 be that even army sentiment is tending toward
regarding lightness as big element Many West
Pointers do not hesitate TO say that the day of
the water-jacket gdn is passed; that light gun
unjacketed but capable Of, say 1900 discharges,
Is the ideal for the future. This can be made a
one-man gun, and the Germans have set the pace
in equiping even their cavalry at least part OF
their cavalry, with machine guns.
II was high time to make 1t Dear 10 those who
pay the armys bills that the department is open

Plugging up the Holes.

The court ruling excluding from claim on the
deposit guaranty fund loans to failed banks
masked as certificates Of deposit, il upheld on ap-
peal will go great way to safeguard raids on
the guaranty fund.- although this abuse should
have been detected and stopped by the banking
board with reference to the particular bank In
question and any other banks that may be in
dulging in the same practice as we'll Putting an
end to this questionable sort of banking, by which
the guaranty fund is used to induce loans to a
bank not warranted by its own responsibility, may
head off some Of the outside money attracted by
high interest but 1t will at the same time conduce
to sounder business and greater safety for regular
dcpositors.
While this weak spot in the law is being
plugged up by Judicial construction as to what
constitutes bona fde deposit, something more
must also be done to prevent trading in the deposit
fund as illustrated by the recent revival OF com
atose bank charter with its guaranty fund credit.
to make fat fee for democratic lawyer cashing
in a political pull The only way to make the
guaranty fund serve its purpose Of insuring de-
positors against loss is likewise to safeguard the
fund against absorption or diversion either by
bogus deposit claims or by political favor

Chicago, Oct. 4.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: Monday, October 9, the
anniversary of the Chicago fire, will
be observed generally throughout the
United States by the proclamations of
the governors as Fire Prevention day.
In some states Accident Prevention
day Is also included. The governors
urge citizens to put their premises
in proper condition as regards fire, and
recommend exercises in the public
schools and special consideration of
the day by commercial organizations
etc. An editorial calling attention
to the observance would be very
helpful just at this time.
The fire waste in the United States
and Canada last year was $184,939,-
100. So far this year 1t is nearly $780,
100000 ahead of that. All the au-
thorities agree that at least rs per
cent Of this waste is easily prevent
able by the exercise of ordinary care
and precaution. This Is conservation
work, which aims to save life and
property and to reduce the most dan
geroas and least excusable of all the
forms Of public waste.
hope that you will print and sup
port editorially this movement

Democratic Administrative Insfiei.ney.

Senator Sherman writes that "the normal con-
dtion of the national finances with the demo-
cratic party in power Is bankruptcy" This only
partly tells the story 1t does not properly con-
vey an ADEQUATE sense Of democratic admnstra-
tive ineficiency The party in power is boasting
Of the wonderful growth of business within the
last eighteen months, of the unexampled activity
in all lines Of industrial and commercial endeavor,
and cheerfuy takes to itself all credit for the
situation.
The astonishing fact is that while the country
is just now experiencing tremendous boom, re-
sulting from the export trade in munitions and
war materials generally the government Of the
United States is getting deeper and deeper into
the hole prepared for it by the democrats. In
spite OF war taxes, income taxes, inheritance taxes
and all sorts Of makeshifts and temporary de-
vices for producing revenue, bond issue has been
resorted to- and even that expedient does not
check the rising tide Of the treasury deficit More
than $58,000,000 deficit accumulated in the first
three months OF the current fiscal year. at the rate
OF over $4,000 for each business day of the time
This means that every time the clock ticks on
a business day the treasury Of the United States
falls behind in its cash $780, il it is to be placed
on the eight-hour day basis, each time the clock
ticks, the deficit swells by $3.50. Just count the
ticks of the clock for a few moments. and you
will realize how rapidly the outgo is exceeding
the income of the United States under democratic
government.
To quote Senator Sherman again, we have
"a free trade tariff act without any permanent
trade, a revenue tariff without any revenue, and
a war tax without any war;" and we might add,
hole in the treasury without any bottom.

Corn as Food for Humanity.

The mounting price Of wheaton -four has re-
newed the talk of corn as food for humanity.
To most Of those who have reached middle age,
the proposition needs no argument They can
easily recall the days when corn was served
daily in the homes of the American people; corn
dodger was staple, and cornmeal mush was an
old reliable bedtime dish for the little folks,
and even the elders INDUCED in it from time to
time. Johnny cake" and "hasty pudding" were
the Injuries of those days, and sturdy genera
ton thrived on the diet. With increasing wealth,
Americans turned to the more alluring wheat
bread and commenced to take their corn in the
form OF meat. No question Of the value Of corn
as food is in dispute, but the home folks will
very likely continue to take it in the form of
beef and bacon so long as they get it that way.

English for the Foreign Born.

A general movement is under way, fostered
by the United States Bureau of Education to
teach the English language to the foregn-born
citizens The value of this undertaking is plain,
but it is in no sense a novelty. Opportunity for
those who come to US from countries of a diff
ferent tongue have long had ample chance to get
grounded at least in the rudiments of the Ian
guage OF Americans. Omaha, in common with
other cities where considerable number OF immi-
grants have located, has long maintained special
schools at which instruction is given, and hun
dreds have taken advantage of them. The pres
emit movement is merely to give greater attention
to the work, that its benefits may be extended.
The need of the foreign-born for at least work
ing knowledge of the language of their adopted
country is not to be misunderstood. One of the
most serious factors in the assimilation of the
immigrant has been the assembly in groups repre-
senting racial or local divisions and the main
tenance Of conditions resembling those left be-
hind. 1t is necessary to break up this segrega-
ton as far as possible, in order that the new
corners may be made into real American citizens.
This process may be carried out without disturb
ing the personal relations now established, but
through the certain means OF spreading the knowl-
edge of American ways, institutions and ideals.
Familiarity with the English language is requi.
site for this, and for this reason its teaching
is of highest importance.

Unnecessary Mysteries.
San Francisco chreniele-

Reading the frantic exhortations to prepare"
which are emanating in such profusion from the
magnates of high finance one is likely to be really
terrified until he stops to think that after all the
business of the world is merely the aggregate of
the efforts of each individual to earn a living.
And each one OF us keeps pegging away at that
and somehow contrives to get on, little more
comfortably in each generation than in that i'm
medately preceding And there is no reason to
doubt that this will always be so.
Some OF the addresses made at the National
Bankers association are positively hystercal.
country will go straight to the demnition bow
vows if every youth is not trained for soldier
ing, the industrial army put into vigorous train
ing, and we do not all save more of our money.
Now, we certainly shall not save more money
If all that we save is diverted to the arts Of
young men at good salaries to regulate us in all
our daily activities.
If governments will let the people alone they
will all manage somehow to earn rather better
living than their fathers were able to get just as
has always happened from the beginning of his
tory.
The most powerful influence on human action
is the impulse to get the utmost farthing for
whatever we have to sell and pay as little as we
can for whatever we have to buy.
That is an instinct which operates powerfully,
universally and continuously. 1t survives when
checked by intense international hatreds which
pervade great part of the world While we
hate intensely we throw prudence to the winds
But hate, like love, is transient passion
The desire to buy cheap and sell dear persists.
And 1t will be the operation of this universal
instinct upon every living individual throughout
the world which will bring to naught the devices
to perpetuate and intensity International hatred
and obstruct international trade which are the
output Of the Paris and other economic confer
ences.
Obviously, the better we agree among our
selves, and the more we cooperate instead OF
quarreling, the better off we shall be, but that
has always been true, and natural economic forces
will as they always have, operate to enable us to
so pull together that each generation will be more
comfortable than any predecessor.
When we consider our own situation as COM
pared with that of most other peoples, it ought
to be plain to all that we have no occasion to
throw fits.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 3.-To the
Editor OF The Bee: Bread prices are
rising; likewise flour. But we have
a remedy, If only the people Of this
country would grasp 1t. -..-.,
All Germany is existing on potato
bread, while here we have an abund-
ance-in the aggregate-of rye, bar
ley, oats, corn and wheat
Combinations of two or more of
these cereals make palatable, nutri-
tious and cheap bread. a
We all know that there Is little
real nutriment in the while bread
made from wheat -four. Modern mill
ing methods deprive the latter of life
substance .&
Now is a good time to introduce
these grain mixtures, or combinations,
for people will listen to any talk con-
corning cheaper bread and other
foods. Their pocket is now affected
by the abnormal prices prevailing and
which will continue unless immediate
attention is given to other cereals
partly neglected at present.
Barley and wheat in combination
make the most nutritious of breads,
while rye and barley are good
second. a.
Barley as breakfast food, and in
soup, broth or meat stews has no SUI
perior in nutritiye value from cereal
standpoint.
Cornmeal and wheat flour, half and
half, is bread much used in Ireland.
Cornmeal will be found a good substi-
tute for potatoes-something to know
in this year Of potato scarcity. Both
yellow and white corn grind as fine
as wheat. They give a little more
moisture to bread, but this is an ad-
vantage, for 1t does not get stale
quickly. The corn also Is heatening
"a good thing in cool weather. This
maize wheat bread would be excellent
for the soldiers in trench or outdoor
life on that account. If the allies fed
their armies with more corn prod
ucts the wheat situation would be re-
lieved rapidly, and greater consump-
ton by our own people would help.
One-third cornmeal and balance
wheat flour make palatable, nour-
ishing and cheap bread, as the De-
partment of Agriculture learned a few
years ago in experimenting. At pres
ent grain prices this bread is Is per
cent cheaper than the all-wheat kind.
Or use one-half cornmeal, As per
cent wheat and balance oats. The
latter addition is beneficial to the kid

Omaha, Oct 4.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: 1t was the general remark
of people who heard the colored band
play on the streets of Omaha this week
that they put more pep, life and vim
into their playing than all of the white
bands put together. They never fail
to make things pretty lively along the
streets Of Omaha and it would do well
for the white bandmen to take some
lessons of life and vigor from these
lively colored players. Some of the
bands as they marched along seemed
to be nlaying funeral marches. Such
playing is Inappropriate for carnival
times. believe in giving praise where
1t is deserved.

Better Adjustmen. Needed Here.

The situation in which New York finds itself
as relates to its supply Of milk provides further
evidence that some better adjustment of our dis
tributing service is needed. When the food supply
OF great metropolis is seriously interfered with
because of controversy between producers and
distributors, who reach deadlock and proceed
to fight it out between themselves without regard
to the rights OF the consumer, some regulative
steps by the government would seem imperative
Here il anywhere the principle Of arbitration
ought to be applied The New York authorities
should lose no time in taking hold of this
matter, and should make certain that milk is
supplied for the babies that need it, and that
the service will not again be interrupted. Then
the question of price between producer and dis
tributer may be investigated and regulated
Service first and no foolishness should be insisted
upon.
