 For Melting Pot

New York, June 26-A melting pot into which many of the decorations which the Kaiser has bestowed upon Americans of German origin will be thrown will be one of the many inter esting features of the Fourth of July parade.

Needed: Syntactical Accuracy.

Let US not be mistaken at the outset. Moth
ing is to be said against the health departments
efforts to warn the people against the 'hu" with
out unduly alarming them. But Lindley Muir
ray might wonder which is the greater infic-
ton, the disease or the form of the language in
which the warnings are couched We scarcely
may demand, much less expect, sanitary syntax,
but somewhere in the city hall ought to be
found one whose knowledge of words and their
uses might serve to give living force tt the ad-
monitions of the health commissioner and yet
avoid the uncouth quality that now distinguishes
them. Simple language is Most forcible, and
in our lexicon may be found words whose ac-
cepted meaning will convey the thought desired
to be impaired and at the same time permit of
arrangement more in accord with decent usage
and quite as effective as Cover up each cough
and sneeze," which certainly does not mean
what it says. A blue pencil, or a censor, or
some similar agency might be added to the citys
official equipment.

Old Glory Over the Rhine.

American troops, have crossed the Rhine
The historic significance of this fact cannot for
the moment be grasped, but it will be accepted
as one of the great events in the career of the
United States. Its flag today floats over the
soil of proud empire, whose boast through
four years of desperate warfare had been that
its armies fought on conquered soil, and that
never would they permit an invader to press the
ground behind the sacred Rhine, The utter COL
lapse of that pride is evinced in the cool recep-
ton given our troops, Never again will "The
Watch on the Rhine" sound the same its words
are hollow now. But the German people will
learn in their present humiliation lesson that
must be of great service to them. They will
come to know that the power of the American
people is put forth to preserve and not to de-
stroy. That under Old Glory marches nation
devoted to ideals of service and of humanitarian
purpose. 1t is so at variance with all they have
believed and devoted themselves to for genera
tions that they will not easily grasp its mean
ing, but in years to come they may appreciate
just what the crossing of the Rhine by General
Pershing and his forces really holds for the
future of Germany.

rushed to the piano and sang gently over and

Railroad Eating House Prices.

Sidney, Neb., Nov. 29.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Quite lot has
been published recently in reference
to railroad men and their passes. l
say let them have their passes 1t
isn't hurting anybody.
But while we are on the subject
OF railroad men and their privileges
wish you would give another mat
ter an airing which strikes me as
being anything but a square deal. l
refer to the railroad lunch counter
prices. I am a travelling man and
have to eat quite often at railroad
lunch counters. This evening l had
supper at the Union Pacific counter
here. l sat next to an engineer. We
had exactly the same meal. His
check was IS cents. Mine was IS
cents. If the company made a profit
on his meal at 35 cents, what kind of
a profit do they make off me, at IS
cents?
On the other hand, if they break
even on putting out this meal at 35
cents, then I am compelled to pay
not only my own proportion of
profit. but l pay the railroad mans
as well. The travelling public has
paid double price for years at rail-
road eating houses. 1t is an imposi-
ton. to say the least, and now that
Uncle Sam has charge, why wouldn't
1t be an opportune time to stop this
'graft?' F. D. WILSON.

Berlln's Secret Archives

1t is interesting to know that some recently
awakened Germans are camoring to have the
secret archives of the late Berlin government
exposed to the white light of publicity.
The defeated nation can render no greater
service to the world than this. The mere
thought of the secrets that lie hidden in the
kaisers charnel house of bribery, corruption
and treachery is enough to blanch the faces
of many men of power and reputation in this
country as we'll as in others. For those ar
chives contain the records of bargains with un-
scrupulous statesmen. with professional agita--
tors and constituencies newspaper editors and
proprietors, and with princes willing to sacrifice
their subjects to make safe their own thrones.
Among those records are the accounts kept by
the Berlin government with the various disloyal
elements in England and Ireland which the
kaiser firmly believed were undermining Great
Brtan's power. Here, too, may be found
list of the brides that tempted Frenchmen to
dim the glory of their nations splendid fame.
But it is safe to say that not one of these secret
covenants will prove of greater interest to our
country than those that linked brutal autocracy
with American treachery of the kind known by
the synonymous terms of pacihsm and pro-Ger-
manism.
Into whose hands went the millions dis
bursed by Germanys huge corruption fund for
propaganda, for arson and for wholesale MUIR
sier in America? How many of these hands are
still clutching their ill-gotten gains? The sol
diers task is finished That of the hangman
has not begun.-New York Herald.

MIR. WILSON TO THE CONGRESS,

Parting injunctions and advice, as delivered
by the president in his address to the congress,
are not so numerous nor so weighty as had been
anticipated Aside from an endorsement of the
big navy program, a suggestion that some
means be found for continuing control of ex-
ports, and that the return of the railroads to
private ownership be considered, the executive
had little to offer. OF his own purpose in going
abroad he said he sought only to make certain
that American soldiers have not died in vain.
This may be interpreted in several ways but
will very probably be accepted as referring to
the fourteen points and the subsequent utter
ances supposed to contain our purpose in the
war. That, of course, was understood.
On domestic affairs the president touched
very lightly. His reference to the revenue
merely amounts to repetition of what Mr..
McAdoo had already said. On the railroad
question glmmer of light may be had in the
statement that the president is not willing that
the properties be returned to their owners I'M
der conditions that pertained prior to their sez-
ure a year ago. How this will be construed
may be determined if congress undertakes to
carry out his expressed wish that it find some
plan for accomplishing the transfer.
To the nation he gives words of highest
praise for all who have helped in the war. In
this he will be joined without demur For the
women he asks that the suffrage be extended
to them. Whether his request in this respect
will be more effective than when he urged it as
war measure few weeks ago is not clear.
In general the address lacks something of
the incisive quality that hitherto has character
lied his communications to congress. He out
lines neither plan nor policy, save as sugges-
tons subject to congressional action. This sign
of recognition of the body as a responsible part
of the government is too noticeable departure
from his recent attitude to go withourcomment.
1t may be accepted as looking forward to the
next session, when laws will be passed because
they are agreed upon and not because they
emanate from the White House. If this is cor
rect. it will be welcomed as sign that we in
America are getting back to democratic form
of government.

Right in the Spotlight.

Today is the 47th birthday of
Newton D. Baker, secretary of war
in the Wilson cabinet, who will be
left largely in control Of the execu-
tive branch of the government at
Washington during the absence of
the president abroad. Mr.. Baker has
often been described as more like
President Wilson than any other
man in the country. He has held
the war portfolio since March, 1916.
AS a democrat he was for many
years active in politics in his home
state, Ohio. AS a protege of Tom
L. Johnson he was elected director
of public safety and subsequently
served two terms as mayor OF Cleve-
land. Mr.. Baker is a native of Mar
tinsburg, w. Va, and was educated
at Johns Hopkins and Washington
and Lee universities. During the
war just ended he paid several visits
of inspection to the French and Ital-
ian fronts.

Pershlng and the Presidency

Republicans of Summit county. Ohio, of
which Akron is the seat of government, haye
snatched General Pershings chapeau from his
head and tossed it into the presidential ring for
the 1920 contest.
This is the first formal foretokening that ad-
mirers of the brilliant American military leader
may seek to "heroize" him to his hurt. as was
done in the case of Rear Admiral Dewey
Far be it from US to say that General PERISH
ing hasn't it in him to be an excellent president.
For aught we know now, he may be the man
of the hour" as civilian leader in the days of
the worlds reconstruction and regeneration,
just as he has proved to be "a man of the hour"
in the big war drama in Europe.
At least it might be good and courteous
thing to consult General Pershing before under
taking to conjure with his name in this way.
The presidency might not be to his liking, great
as is the honor involved in holding it,, Very
easily we can conceive of his preferring to keep
his distinctive place in the American army to
whose honorable traditions he has contributed
so great a chapter Also, we bear it in mind
that the valuable services of the American COM
mander may be sngularly useful in war-torn
Europe for two or three years to come.
A mere effort to add to the honors already
won by General Pershing would be somewhat
analogous to the business of carrying Goals to
Newcastle He has made a place in American
and world history that cannot be enhanced by
arbitrary tributes any more than the fragrance
of rose can be bettered by the addition of
marl-nlade perfume.
For the gaiety of the nation we may begin
now to groom candidates for the presidency,
willy nilly: but for the nations serious purposes
we can we'll afford to wait a while and see what
happens. National party conventions to choose
standard bearers are still about 10 months off.
Within that period are to be crowded many
momentous events.-Minneapolis Tribune.

Acid Stomach Makes
Life Miserable
For i||ions

Dentists tell us that acid mouth
causes the eating away of enamel on the
teeth, a substance much harder than
bone. Keep the mouth free from acid"
they say, land there will be little or no
danger of decayed teeth"
Think of this-you can at once see
what an excess amount of acid in the
Observation-Disclosures in the
way of undermining ones health and
strength!
Many people make the awful mistake
of thinking that acid-stomach-sup
acidity as the doctors call it-merely
causes an occasional attack of indiges-
ton, bloat, heartburn. belching, sour.
gassy stomach and similar troubles that
can quickly be remedied-and leave no
serious after effects. AS matter of fact
superacidity is responsible for a long
train of serious ailments. 1t sometimes
creates conditions which BATTLE the best
medical skill. It is a we'll established
fact that most cases of chronic stomach
trouble, anemia, /stomatitis, gastritis,
rheumatism, govt, lumbago, intestinal
ulcer, many cases of cancer of the sto-
mach, valvular heart trouble and heart
failure find their start in acid-stomach.
The excess acid must be removed. The
stomach must be kept pure, sweet and strong,
free to digest food properly. That is the only
sure way to avoid the evil consequence of acid
stomach and to enjoy vigorous, robust health.
wonderful preparation now makes it pos
sible to quickly remove acid-stomaeh. 1t is
called EATONIC-a pleasant tasting compound
that you eat like candy.
EATONIC literally wipes out the hurtful ex-
cess acid and drives the bloat out of the body.
You can fairly feel it work. It is absolutely
harmless and no matter how weak or delicate the
stomach may be, EATONIC will not cause dis
tress. .E.u
The immediate effects of EATONIC

instantly it relieves that miserable,
puffed up feeling after eating, sour,
gassy stomach, heartburn, stops food
repeating, etc. Makes the stomach feel
sweet, cool and comfortable. Enables
you to eat what you like and digest your food
in comfort. Aids digestion and helps the d.
gestive organs to get full strength out of every
mouthful of food you eat. And that is what
you must have in order to be we'll and strong
full strength from your food.
So we say-don't let an acid-stomach hold
you back and wreck your health. Don't drag
out your days feeling all in, down and out, weak
and ailing, lacking in physical power and en-
ergy; listless, nervous, irritable and taking only
a half-hearted interest in your work. Keep
the vital spark flashing. Let every organ,
muscle and nerve of your body function in per-
feet harmony with strong, healthy stomach.
Eat the things you like but make every mouth
full count Then you'll feel fine-be fit
mentally alert-have pep and punch-the

of health that makes life worth living!

Economic Aspects of Peace.

Prince Windsch- Graetz, former Hungarian
minister of finance and an economist of wide
knowledge, says permanent peace in Europe
will come only when the several nations are Of
gained on basis of free trade He is not sure
if the sought-for stability will be arrived at on
the basis of the fourteen points, or whether
Leninism will dominate. In either event one
conclusion is unacceptable.
The future of Europe depends solely upon
the industrious application of its inhabitants.
If they spend their time in futile mass meetings,
struction Of life and property, they can expect
only continuation of the misery they now en-
dure. Hard work is their one way to salvation.
They already have thrown away wonderful
chance but yet have the time to recover if they
will only exert themselves. 1t is not materially
possible that the economic life of Europe can
be resumed at the point where it was inter-
rupted in 1914 The start will have to be made
much farther back.
Industries have not only languished there,
but have been nearly destroyed. Manufactures
have disappeared, demolished in the course of
war or through the insanity of bloshevism, and
not this alone, but sources of raw material have
vanished. Agriculture, mining all forms of
human activity have been reduced to the lowest
standard where not wholly suspended. The
restoration will not be accomplished as speedily
as was the interruption.
Europeans turn their eyes to America, and
will here find help for the present. but for the
future will be required to show a more definite
determination to help themselves than appears
just at this moment Actions will be far more
impressive and convincing than words, no mat
ter how earnest or eloquent.
