Hitchcock and the President.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 10.-To the
Editor of the Omaha Bee: Permit
me to speak to my democratic
friends of Nebraska, and of Lancas-
ter county in particular:
At this critical period of our ma
tional life, when the women OF
America are earnestly and devotedly
in the work of winning the war and
providing garments for our soldiers
and for the stricken ones Of France
and Belgium, and in innumerable
other activities. | consider it a ma
tional disgrace and shame upon
the democracy of Nebraska to claim
Gilbert NJ Hitchcock as one of our
own or to in any way give sanction
to those candidates of our party who
are in sympathy with his course on
the woman suffrage bill, or who
kneel at his reckoning.
Senator Hitchcock's vote on the
bill is the more censurabe because
it was in direct contradiction to the
personally expressed wishes of Presi-
dent Wilson, who appeared before
the senate and besought opposing
senators to cast aside their preju-
dices and vote for the suffrage meas
ure as an essential aid to the win
ming of the war. - That Hitchcock
did not do so, proves that he Is not
in sympathy with President Wilson
and not in sympathy with the wishes
of the rank and fife of Nebraska
democracy.
! hope the people Of Nebraska,
when they vote this fall, will prove
to Senator Hitchcock. that a woeful
mistake has been made which Is a
reflection not only on the inteIi-
gence of our citizenship, but also
upon our noble womanhood.
President Wilson has frequently
made it plain that he wants to make
the world safe for democracy-in its
brOadest sense. To that end, he
seeks to unity all classes and all
conditions-to bring. the laborer up
to a higher standard: to make the
business man, the professional man,
the financial man, aspire to nobler
deeds and qualities that will be ex-
amples for less exalted peoples; to
take woman out Of the depth of
low wage and r~niaI conditions and
place her upon an equality with her
masculine neighbor, where she be-
longs not only by right of ability,
but through her glorious sacrifices
and achievements. A proper unfit
cation of all peoples and all condi-
tions cannot be successfully consum-
mated until woman is granted her
just place in affairs of state and ma
ton. And until Nhe unity that nur
president seeks Is established, the
world cannot be made safe for de-
mocracy; nor can it be realized I'M
til democracy is made safe for the
people. c. NJ. BRANSON.

Tariff and the War Tax.

- When the new revenue bill was being ex-
planned to the house last month Mr. Towner Of
Iowa pointed out one of the great omissions of
the plan. While the committee was plastering
taxes right and left on everything in sight, it
carefully avoided one. certain source Of govern
mental income. That is the tariff on imports.
Even the democrats at one time professed to be
committed to the policy of tariff for revenue
only" How they have swung away from that
is shown by figures presented by Mr.. Towner:

message by newspaper reporter, will have
greater regard than ever for the ubiquitous

An Influential Suggestion.

Omaha, Oct. Ito the Editor
of The BEEN the early summer Of
1871 l was called from Chicago to
my family home in an Illinois town
by telegram announcing serious
illness In the family. l found my
mother, one sister and two brothers
sick with diphtheria. l called on
retired doctor who told me there
was no known remedy for the dis
ease which he considered fatal.
At that time no remedy had been
discovered. The old doctor advised
me to keep a small piece of gum
camphor in my mouth, saying 1t
was an excellent disinfectant. Nv
mother sister and two brothers died
in 10 days. During their illness I
assisted in administering medicine
and otherwise attending to their
wants. I believe that the gum cam
phor saved my life, my father and
another sister and brother. 1t
strikes me that gum camphor can
be used successfully as a preventive
In the present influenza epidemic.
There may be other preventives lust
as good, but l have great faith In
gum camphor. 1t may be little
weakening. but is not harmful. It's
safe. As

While the total Of imports was steadily
mounting, the revenue derived from the tariff
was going down. In Great Britain customs
dues turned into the imperial treasury 2,000,-
600 in 1918, and $4ls,0O0,0O0 in 1917, with an
estimate of $46O,0OOOO0 for 1918. Another COM
parsion is more impressive. Great Britain col
lects at its ports of entry revenue equal to
SlO22 per capita, of its population, while the
United States derives only $l.65. Yet the DEM
ocratic majority in congress has refused to look
upon the tariff as source of revenue, even in
wartime.
