Effect of the Borah Meeting.

When Mr.. Wilson left Omaha last Monday,
his ardent supporters set up the assertion that
he had clinched the case for the League of Ma
tons, SO far as this neck of the woods is con-
cerned. They are not quite so confident today.
Senator Borah's reception was not less impress
sive than that given the president and the
demonstration brought out by his closing re-
mark that he was against any league what
ever, must have given a chill to those who had
claimed everything for the presidents attitude.
If the visit of the senator has had no other ef
feet, it has made clear that local sentiment is
not entirely onesded in the matter, but that
very respectable element of opposition exists in
this section, which has been claimed with as
surance by the league advocates. 1t is direct
reply to the presidents statement made here,
that the voice most audible at Washington is
not that Of the people. This insinuation that
the popular branch of the government does not
represent the people is thus fairly met. Oppo-
siton to the "swaow-it-whole" plan has found
its voice. and it is not to be ignored.

Human Kindness IN the Nayy

At time when criticism of their former
officers is being INDUCED in by good many
men returning from military and naval serv-
ice, the story of how young naval officer
served a young Houston COB and earned the
lasting gratitude of the sailor boy and his
Houston mother comes by way of refreshing
contrast
The COB from Houston was member Of
the crew of a naval vessel sailing from all
eastern port to the Pacific. The ship touched
at Texas port few days ago briefly to
renew some supplies, but the crew was not
allowed shore leave. Upon learning that one
of the sailor boys on board was from Houston
the young officer came ashore and telegraphed
the sailors mother, and later when the stay
of the ship was heightened he secured special
permission for the young man to come to
Houston for a few hours and loaned him the
money for his fare.
And the officer had known the Houston lad
only four days, so his actions could not be
charged up to favoritisnl.
Perhaps this was an extraordinary case
and this. officer maybe had an unusually big
heart in his breast, but this story Of him &C
cords much better with the traditions of the
gallantry. bravery and respect of their men
which have grown up about our naval officers
than do some of the stories of criticism that
have been going the rounds recently.-Houston

Progress and Restlessness

Discussing the present troubled condition of
the world and tangled condition of the worlds
affairs, supposedly great statesman rises to
remark that what the world needs is a rest.
1t is all right as a figure of speech, perhaps,
but the truth is it doesn't need rest at all;
rest is the last thing in the world that a man
nation needs" And rest comes at the end.
If the gentleman means that we should
devote more of our time to work and less
to worry he is correct. We do need surcease
fom worry. But if he means by rest" naction
then he is mistaken. Too many people con-
found rest with inacton. A change of work
may prove beneficial, laying aside the Gus
tomary toll of the day for toll in some other
field, under the head Of play. is generally wise.
if the toll has been prolonged. But the fellow
who is best able to rest is the one who is
busiest when he is enjoying his rest.
There is rest in this world only in the
cemeteres-and there are dead nations enjoy
ing rest just as there are dead men. If the
world lays down" if it seeks inaction, if it
tries to stop the everlasting grind. if it even
forgets that there is anything to discuss or to
critcize--then it lies down to rest in the grave
yard of forgetfulness All of these apparently
great annoyances of the day all OF this null
ing around" all of these sharp discussions and
fierce criticisms are helpful; it is the only way
men and nations and the world can hope to
make progrsss.-Columbus Dispatch.

When War Supplants
Reason

Auburn. Neb,, Sept. s.-To the
! Editor Of The Bee: The great
reason for hope and encouragement
today is found in the fact that some
+ Of our state and national publica-
tons are disposed to step aside
from the straight and narrow and
wholly undemocratic regime and
stand for freedom Of speech and
freedom of the press, without which
true democracy cannot exist,
We must become more consistent
than to contend or demand that
only one side of the question shall
be heard; for when one side only
is heard 1t follows that that one
side is, and will be aglow with the
unreal and untrue. The truth does
not have to make or urge the toler-
alton Of law, custom or prjudice to
bar or exclude candid criticism.
When war is declared, justice is
set aside and thousands OF gratis
made possible, and many thousands
of grafters and profiteers invited to
take a part in the demands that
have to so great an extent made the
freedom OF speech and the freedom
Of the press only a dream
So far has this barring the free
dom of speech and Of the press been
carried that many have reached the
conclusion that patriotism consists
in aiding in bringing on and main
tanning war with all it's attendant
evils; and that religion consists in
doing all possible to aid the hell of
war. and to advance this or that
narrow and erratic ism in the name
of Christianity.
If we are to be even distant
relative to what We professed to be
but few months ago when we
talked about the steps the United
States was going to take toward
bringing about the greatest victory
for real peace and true humanity
the world had ever seen, or was to
see, then we must at least contend

some of the teachings OF today

of the other fellows: we hear one

would like to see every soldier in
the ranks Of the enemy lying dead
on the battlefield and the wolves

other declare that peace can only
be brought about when every one
of the officers of the army Of the
enemy have been stood up with
their backs to the wall and shot

Hay Fever Prevention.

Victims of hay fever almost unan-
lmously subscribe to the state
ment that the current year has been
unusually severe on them. They do
no try to prescribe a reason for this,
but are content to accept the fact.
AS the time for their relief ap-
proaches, they are comparing notes,
and as yet only agree that the dis
agreeable disease shows no abate-
ment in the ravages locally DR..
Scheppergrell of New Orleans, who
is at the head of the national as
ISOLATION for the study and preven-
ton of hay fever and kindred dis
eases, says his campaign on the rag
weed in the region of New Orleans
has reduced the number Of sufferers
there by at least One-half and has
1essened the intensity Of the aff1ic-
ton. No such campaign has been
set on foot in this section of the
country, although the society has
frequently recommended that it be
made nationwide in behalf of the
victims. For the treatment of de-
veloped cases he advises:

He has found vaccinations with
ordinary nose bacteria to be of serv-
ice during the course of the attack.
Cultures can be made from the nose
of the patient.
The vaccines are given hypo-
dermically and during the course Of
the acute attack; when the acute
attack subsidies the use of vaccine is
stopped. This vaccination during
the attack is not to be confused with
immunization done before the sea-
son, and in which polens are used.

Precautions Against Flu.

Apprehension of a return OF the
FLU" pandemic disturbs great
many people. Medical authorities
can give no guaranty Of immunity
against the disease, but hope with
the result Of their experience Of
last winter to support them to be
better able to meet its ravages II

tons such as were then advised hold
good. These are to avoid excuses
of any kind, to wear warm, COM

son, and not to neglect a cold, how

Some comfort is extracted from
analysis Of the data gained from
last winters disastrous experience.
The outstanding fact is that the
FLU does not leave wrecks behind,
as some other less dreaded diseases
40. Investigators in Buffalo have
dealt with 33,SS0 cases of influenza
reported between October /, 1918,
and April 1. 1919. OF these 3.179
died. Each Of the survivors were
visited by an Investigator, who in
qured If any after effects of the
"du' had been sustained. Only 74S
claimed to have experienced any i'll
effects following recovery from the
disease. A follow-up inquiry de-
veloped that sol of these had fully
recovered, ZIG reported they were
improving and four had died. Closer
examination shows that the flu
does not increase the tendency to
consumption.
1t is very certain that 33,8S0 cases
OF pneumonia, typhoid fever, diph-
iberia, measles, or almost any other
grave disease, or $3.50 major oper-
atoms done under an anesthetic
would have left more after effects,
more organic disease of heart and
Kidneys, more consumption and
more chronic bronchitis, more
chronic invalidism than followed in
the wake of the epidemic of Flu"
in Buffalo.

Professional Service and Pay.

Doctors are reported from the east to be
moving in the formation of union for the
better protection of their professional interests,
with especial regard to compensation. Nurses
in Omaha are about to take somewhat similar
steps. Such action must astound if it does not
shock the careless public. In the case of the
Omaha nurses, the reported intention Of the
body is to protect thee afflicted from extortions
said to have been practiced by some who were
called into service during the "fu" epidemic
LAST fall. This is commendable from any aspect
A peculiar relation exists between doctors and
nurses on one side and the public on the other
1t is not possible nor desirable to establish a
rigid schedule Of fees. Something of the sort
does exist, perhaps, but generally is considered
basic rather than arbitrary. Ethically, doctors
and nurses are required to serve without hope
of reward, other than that which comes from
the conscious satisfaction of ameliorating hui
manity's ills. Practically, the fee is almost in
variably founded on the patients ability to pay,
modified in some degree by the experience and
professional attainments of the practitioner 1t
often occurs that the eminent doctor gives the
best he has where no compensation is forth
coming, and the nurse devotes herself with
equal unselhshness in such cases. But where
other things are equal, no reason possibly ex-
lists for not paying we'll those whose lives are
given over to 1essening human suffering
through ministratons in time of sickness. Yet
to the end of time the verse written by Dr.
Holmes will probably apply:

The danger past, both are alike requited;

THE LEAGUE AND THE LAW.

One of the regrettable features of the dis
cussion of the proposed League of Nations
plan is that so far it has turned on limited
basis. Points involved. important as they are
to Americans, do not include all on which
criticism may fairly rest An objection that
in some minds is paramount above the others
raised is that as contemplated the operations
of the league will be governed by expediency
and not entirely by right. 1t makes no pro-
vision for the growth and development of law
or for the firm establishment of justice. Set
Elements will be such as will temporize and not
those that determine definitely what is right
and just
The Shantung instance fairly illustrates this.
England, France and Russia bid against Ger
many for the support Of Japan in the war; They
were willing in the emergency that Japan
should be permitted to recoup itself at the ex-
pense of China. None who has studied the
case, and this does not except Mr.. Wilson, be-
lieves that justice has been served by the terms
of the treaty awarding to Japan all that Ger
many held or claimed in China. Expediency
alone governed. So to in Fiume, in Danzig, and
elsewhere.
The objection raised by Elihu Root in his
letter of last March has not yet been fairly
met. Relations between nations must event
ually rest on the fabric of international law, an
institution OF slow growth. but capable of in
estmable service. Talk about the abolition of
political intrigues and diplomatic chcanery is
idle, when the nations undertake to set up
tribunal whose decisions lack the support of
recognized principles,
Opportunity was presented at Paris for the
setting up of great international court, from
which would issue determination of questions
resting on legal right. This was not done, and
the failure to make such provision indicates
structural weakness in the plan that will have
to be remedied before permanence can be as
sured.

Training for Policemen.

A friend asks The Bee to state what sort
of training is contemplated for the policeman
of the future. 1t is rather difficult to give
comprehensive outline in few words. We
can easily fix essential requirements for an
ideal policeman. He must be intelligent, cour-
ageous possessed of self-control, have an I'M
Outstanding of the rudiments of the civil as we'll
as the criminal law, this to supplement the reg
ulations in his book Of rules, and be wholly de-
voted to the service of the public. Only evidoers
should fear him, and all should respect him;
such man will naturally respect himself. To
this training may be added detailed knowledge
of matters that would come within the pur-
view of the police department. He should be
carefully schooled in first aid processes, be
versed in many things that need not here be
catalogued but most of which will suggest
themselves to one who studies even casually
what is involved in preserving peace and order
in busy city. Such men do not abound, but
must be made. A field for specialist is here
open. Let training course for policemen be
established with the support of the several city
governments of the country, or give such OPP
portunity in connection with the regular work,
and make it an object for the men to fit
themselves for better service and possible ad-
vancement, and the public will be the gamer,
