A democrat who does not place Wilson above
his party may go and should go into outer dark

"Pitiless Publicity" Again.

The administration at Washington has de-
cided not to give out the text of the peace note
from the bolsheviki, because, according to the
State department, it is intended for propa-
ganda." A peculiar reason, and not based OH
good reasoning. The suppressed notes will
be far more effective propaganda than if thew
were published. If they contain anything the
radicals want to get before the people, Lenine
and Trotzky will see that the text is given out.
Meanwhile, every soapbox in the land will ring
with the fact that the government is suppress
ing communication from the people OF Rus
sia keeping the people in ignorance of the
terms on which the reds seek peace. If the
radical movement is to be successfully combat
ted in America, it will not be by adopting the
tactics of the ostrich. The wider circulation
that can be given the absurdities of the Rus
sian creed, the more certain will Americas an
swer be in the negative. Facts are the one

Andrew J. Seaman's Life.

Andrew J. Seaman, aged Omaha recluse and
eccentric, was what the world calls "miser, .
that is, an abnormay thrifty person. People
laughed at him; thoughtless boys hooted the
unoffendng old man on the streets.
But Mr.. Seaman was not bad citizen. He
harmed no one but himself. Many gilded fool
prides himself on being good spender," :"
though he spends only selfshly for his own
pleasure Mr.. Seaman spent almost nothing
on himself. He was unseliish. 1t is recorded,
however, that he gave $l00 to the Y NJ. C. A..
building fund. He sent gifts of cash to his
sister. What else he gave we don't know He
never talked about his affairs.
Even when the friendess man knew that
death was near and that he must leave his
money, his last word was that no needless ex-
pense should be incurred for a casket-the
money could be used better by the living. Mr.
Seamans manner of life was repugnant to nor
NAL humanity. And rightly SO. But his
miserliness was disease which, perhaps, con-
cealed great nature. And we can not help
feeling real sympathy for this friendless old
man who lived his lonely life in our midst for
so many years, and who died a lonely and
friendless death, out of touch with and misun-
derstood by his fellow men. If his life con-
tains any lesson, it is that social contact with
the world is worth more than life of solitary
acquisitiveness.
