Success for Books.

Omaha, Jan 20, 1919.-To the Ed
itor of The Bee: Recent editorials
in the World-Herald deprecate the
fact that Governor NcKelvie, along
with other statesmen, recommends
a work on popular psychology as a
help to any aspiring person.
What can be the motive of the
writer in prejudicing the minds of
the reading public against the ideals
and worthy teachings Of the popular
book referred to-? Thousands of
earnest parents encourage their chill
dren to habitually follow the prin-
ciples of conduct outlined in books
Of this character and business men
have been benefited and have gained
much of their present day efficiency
by the inspirational character Of
books of this sort.
If the writer was simply trying to
pick the mote out of the governors
eve, he should surely take the advice
of another good book and cast the
beam from his own, for no one can
benefit his weaker brother any bet
ter than to suggest to those who as
pire toward higher things a certain
means Of attaining the greatest de-
gree of success, morally, physically
and financially.
To read beweeen the cynical lines
Of the editorial repulses the student
Of even the most elementary prin-
ciples of psychology and demon
strates that the writer of that par
ticular editorial is sadly in need him

Nebraska,s Hospitals for the insane.


Word comes up from Lincoln that the legis-
lature is to be asked to provide for the extern
sion of Nebraska's hospitals for the insane. No
objection will be raised to this, if necessity
for the action can be shown This state has
made humane provisions for the care of those
unfortunates whose reason has been deranged,
no matter what the, cause, and will continue to
do So ..I..-
1t is somewhat startling, though, to be told
that an emergency threatens us in the form of
insane soldiers. To assume that 800 or any
other considerable number of soldiers will come
home with disordered minds is going beyond
bounds 1t is true that many have suffered from
shattered nerves, incident to shell shock or
other vicissitudes and hazards of military serv-
ice, but to conclude that these are permanently
affected is unwarranted.
The surgeon general of the army met a SEN
sational statement last week by announcing that
of all the men invalided home suffering from
nervous disorders, only two had been found
insane to degree that required their being
taken to a hospital for treatment Others are
given care to restore them to usefulness and
generally with success. Let u.s. if need be, ex-
tend the accommodations of the state hospitals,
but do not predicate the move on the prob
ability of large number of insane soldiers be-
ing returned from France.

BIRTH OF A LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Unanimous adoption by the peace confer
enee delegation of a resolution that league
of nations be created to promote international
obligations and to provide safeguards against
war" practically assures the formation OF such
body. The scope Of its purpose is ample, and
membership is open to every civilized nation
which can be relied upon to promote its objects"
This is the first formal move Of the great
conference towards the end for which it was
assembled. Other points in the peace program
are properly provided for through the establish
ment of commissions to consider and report to
the main body on the subjects referred to them.
It may safely be assumed that a substantial
settlement has been approached on all topics
over which disagreement might have been ex-
pected or on which serious difference of opinion
could arise. This is the expected outcome of
the preliminary and informal conferences and
conversations.
Great importance will attach to the work of
the high commission to whom has been en-
trusted the formulation of detailed plans for
organization and government of the league of
nations. Mr.. Wilson is to be the chairman of
this vital body and will guide its deliberations
and influence its conclusions We may, there
fore, expect that in the final report the ideas
he has put forward will be embodied in prac-
teal FORM
1t will not be easy to formulate any sched-
ue entirely devoid of ambiguity, clearly defn-
ing the rights and limitations of each power,
and reconciling them with the rights and powers
of the membership of the league, but it can be
done. Some sacrifice must be made, not Of any
thing vital to the national existence of
people, but in the degree that the individual
foregoes his natural rights ~ some extent when
he comes into communal relationship with
others.
One general family of nations may not yet
be possible but the parliament of the world"
is nearer at hand than it ever was before.

When the officers Of German battalions were
slain in action the German morale VIGOROUSLY
crumbled. No man in the ranks dared take the
initiative. The cog in the machine was not fit
to become a driving wheel The infantry
turned out after a uniform pattern by the
stamping mill of German mlitarism were con-
fused and scattered when their browbeating
leadership was gone.
This paralysis of the individual initiative
was one of the evil fruits of the German sys-
tenn The marching soldier was not sentient
participant; he was only mite in a Tremendous
mass.
The American soldier was resourceful and
adaptable He was mot furried by the over
setting of a plan; his wits worked at high speed
in a tight place He did not wait to be told
what to do when there was none to tell him.
Instead of waiting for destruction to overwhelm
him he acted on his own best Judgment.
Countless instances come from the battle
field of noncommissioned officers and privates
who stepped into the places of those who had
fallen rallied their comrades and turned the
tide Of disaster. The course of their previous
education, though It had not taught them that
an officer is the noblest work of God, or that
craftsmanship is the chief end of man, or that
the goosestep is the ideal gait or that a blind
reaction to an order is the paramount virtue,
had bred in them a certain mental aiacr;ty, a
quick perception of the right thing to do and
the right time to do it, that have made out Of
lovers Of peace the "hrst-class fighting man,
whose nerve and mettle and fiery impetus met
and overcame the flower of the troops put into
the field BY Germany Philadelphia Ledger.

Milling Industry in Nebraska.

Nebraska millers are meeting in Omaha for
the purpose of consulting as to the future Of
their business They find a menace in the gov
eminent guaranty as to the price of wheat,
under which they expect to find themselves
grinding wheat at a cost around $218 bushel,
at the same time selling -four in competition
with milers who are able to buy Canadian or
other wheat in the open market Naturally,
this rests upon the assumption that the price
for wheat is going to fall we'll away from its
present figure and that the government will
not take any Of the loss on its guaranty. In
some circles it has been contended that the
government would be expected to absorb the
margin between the assured and the actual
market price, assertions having been made in
congress that this will cost the public funds at
least half billion dollars. The danger to the
millers is real and how it is to be avoided is not
plain. A plan may be worked out under which
the home industry will receive the consideration
it deserves, and be well secured against loss
while the farmer and householder alike will
have some advantage from the fact that Nea
braska wheat is made into -four within the
state. In this connection it is encouraging to
note that at present the milling capacity of
Nebraska is above 22yDOO barrels of -four per
day. Such business is worth fostering.

Poor Advertising for Omaha.


Omaha, Jan. 25-To the Editor
OF The Bee: The indiscriminate
searching of baggage and passen-
gers at depots, bridges and on trains
by "booze hounds" without legal
warrant and often without due rea-
son for suspicion would not be toll
Grated even under the most auto
cratic government and / hope that
some citizen or citizens will have
nerve enough to protest such search
and sue for heavy damages in case
it is carried out or an arrest Is made.
Some of these petty officials have
an unduly large opinion of their I'M
portance and authority and are
driving away, TO other routes, traV-
elers who would ordinarily pass
through and perhaps stop at Omaha.
The booze that comes into Oma-
ha in the grips Of passengers is in
finitesimal as compared with that
which comes via the various night
and underground routes by boat,
freight and truck.
If so passengers are searched and
perhaps a lone pint found in one of
the grips, far more damage is done
than any resulting good, and every
one of these passengers is sore" at
Omaha-not at the officials or at
the state, but at Omaha-and these
meddling officials seem to delight in
an especial pick at Omaha.
L have already found several of
our customers who have avoided the
Omaha gateway to the coast because
word has gotten abroad that passen-
gers are searched, and not because
they desired to carry booze, but
merely to avoid any trouble or an
noyance. GEO. II, LEE.

Reindeer, ringing a merry peal on
his bells. my friend, the King Of
the Wild Geese, once told me that Il
l ever got into trouble to come to
you because you are wise and kind
My name is Prancer.
''Prancer, oh, you are one of Santa
Claus RENDERS? ?" exclaimed Peggy
ITO be SURE | am" answered the
reindeer, prancing around so that
the bells played an excited tune
And we reindeer are in awful
trouble-we've lost Santa Claus"
Lost Santa Claus! Gracious!
Where did you lose him." cried
Peggy.
Some place in this big. big
world" cried Prancer, "He left
home suddenly months and months
ago. He hasn't returned nor sent
us any word. Here 1t is the night
before Christmas Eve and he isn't
ready with his toys and gifts. We've
got to find him right away or there
will be a lot of disappointed children
on Christmas morning"
Peggy felt a pang Of dismay.
Santa Claus lost-what a tragedy.
Supposing she should wake up on
Christmas morning and find nothing
in her stocking. Worse still, sup
posing poor children who didn't
have a nice comfortable home and
plenty of toys as she had should
wake up to find all their hopes of
Christmas joy ended in fearful sor-
row!
Only that day she had seen
wizcned faces anxiously pressed
against the store windows and had
heard eager voices pitifully wonder
ing If Santa Claus would find them
or miss them that year, Yes, it
would be a tragedy If Santa Claus
did not come.
"Jingle- jangle! Jingle jangle!"
Other sleighbells chimed in with
Prancer's "tingle-tangle," and a Sec
ond reindeer came dashing through
the snow. On his back was Billy
Belgium.
ooh. you've found Princess Peg
gy." cried the second reindeer. II
asked this boy where she lived, and
he was showing me the way.
princess Peggy, this is Dancer,
said Prancer, land here comes
Dasher, Vixen, Comet Cupid, Thun-
der and Lightning"
Peals of Ginning bells sounded
from all directions as six other rein
deer came galloping up.
Hail, Princess Peggy. What are
we going to do?" they cried to her.
1t was too big problem for Peg
gy to solve all in a flash.
perhaps if we could go to
Santa Claus home and look things
over, we could figure out how to
find him." she said.

AROUND THE STATE.

The attorney generals opinion
that the governor does not have to
live in the executive mansion draws
applause from the Harvard Courier.
"This means" Editor Buck observes,
that the governor doesn't have to
tear up and move in the middle of
winter, which is a good thing. He
has plenty to do nowadays without
fooling away time putting up stoves
and lacking down carpets"
Plattsmouth reports the sale of 80
acres of Cass county farm land To-
Gated four miles from town at $500
per acre. To what extent improve
ments figured in the sale price is
not disclosed. Even with a liberal
allowance for improvement the sale
price goes far over the top Of last
years record and sets a notable
price for 1919. The high level of
1918 in the river counties was the
sheriff's sale year ago of the Hall
tract Of 900 acres in Douglas county
at $265.50, an acre without improve
ments. This and previous sales
clearly point to steady uplift in
Nebraska land values.
Government ownership may be all
right for those on the payroll, but
it doesn't command ordinary respect
from the farmers of Hamilton
county, shareholding owners of the
Hamilton County Telephone COM
pany. Last week, after a brief ex-
perience with Postmaster General
Burleson's methods of doing BUSH
ness, the shareholders got together
and expressed the right to conduct
the affairs of purely local coop
erative company without federal in
reference. In words of restrained
wrath Burleson was invited to quit
his job and go to Texas. Uh, huh!

Jobs for Soldiers.

Omaha, Jan. 24.-To the Editor
of The Bee: I have seen several
letters on the subject of giving re-
turning soldiers their old jobs back,
but as yet 1 have not seen any evi-
dence that anyone is trying to help
the ones who have no position to
return to. 1t seems to me that the
men who were not anchored to any
position and must now look for a new
field are more in need of assistance
than the ones who were in solid
enough to even be promised their old
places back. You must remember
that ours is a young army and many
of the men were students when they
left; and you will find, if you care
to investigate. that the offers these
men are finding are a disgrace to

Packers and Butchers.

Omaha, Jan. 24.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: This man Francis j.
Heney, who, no doubt, has done
some very meritorious work in the
past in prosecuting big grating COR
porations, is rapidly developing into
a grandstander and q crank.
notice in one of his TRADES against
the big packing concerns the other
day that he said the big packers had
become a gigantic monopoly and
hand shut out the local butcher. Per-
NIT me to say that it has been a
mighty good thing for the people of
this country, both financially and
from the standpoint of health. if the
big packing houses have shut out the
local butcher.
When l was a boy the local butch
er used to ride out into the country
and buy up any old kind Of a cow
or lumpy-jawed steer and drive them
to the slaughter pen in the edge of
town and butcher them. Butcher"
was the word, for half Of them did
not know or care how they dressed
a beef or a sheep. There was 10
such thing in those days as inspec-
ton by the government or anyone
else, except the purchaser of the
meat at the butcher shop. Who
would want to go back to the old
days Of the local butcher, even if he
could?
Another thing: The big packing
houses now pay more for a steer on
the hoof than they get for the meat
portion of the animal after he is
dressed. How do they do this? By
making use of every particle of the
hoofs, horns, hair, hide, intestines,
blood and gall-making all Of their
profits out of the y-products, most
of which were thrown away by the
old-time local butcher. There was
more waste and bad odor about the,
old-time slaughter pens in the sub
urbs of the town or city than there
is now in all the packing houses of
South Omaha. j. NJ GILLIAN.
