American Physique

Every now and then somebody comes along
with something like this which is taken from
the columns of one of the best known American
newspapers:
Because the American girl doesn't eat
enough because she doesn't guard her health,
because she doesn't get sufficient exercise. be-
cause she is below the physical standard, she is
to blame, when she becomes the American
mother, for the faulty rearing of the babies of
the nation; she is to blame for the lack of
strength and vitality of the youth of the nation
the generation which preceded her is to blame
for the bodily unftness of one of every four
men called for service in the nations armies"
1t may be true that one out Of every four
men called for service in the war was rejected
because of bodily unftness, but that was be-
cause America, having an almost unlimited num-
Der of men, was able to set the military physical
standards very high and still get more soldiers
than she needed. The American army was far
away better physically than any other army;
and after what America did in the war it would
be very hard to persuade any European, espe-
cialy any German who served on the western
front, that the physique of this nation is in
characterization News and Courier.

Farmers and the Farm Experts.

The debate at the opening session OF the
farmers congress turned largely on the ap-
pcation of scientific methods as opposed to
those of rule of thumb to farming Conserva-
tive farmers backed their opinions as to what
is better for the industry against those of the
progressive element, and really beneficial
change of views resulted. The danger to agri-
culture is found in the condition where either
side may have full control. INSTRUMENTATION
means stagnation, while unwise experimental
ton leads to disaster by another route. A COM
bnation of the two, in just and proper proper
tion will achieve the end sought
Farm methods are improved by careful ap-
pcation of laboratory results, and these may
be taught by young men just out of agricultural
schools with as much effect as by men who
have reached the same knowledge by the slower
process of experience. In either case, If re-
turns are to be increased. it must be because
better use is made Of the land. This will only
follow when the farmer has a complete under
standing of all the elements of his problem.
The delegate who alleged that the expert
could not tell why one patch of wheat did better
than another in a drouth season might have
carried his illustration little farther, and asked
why one farmer is prosperous and another
alongside has hard time to come out even.
The county agent is not able to explain or to
overcome these inequalities, but if he is worth
anything at all, he can take to the farmers the
message of science as applied to agriculture,
and teach them ways by which they can en-
nance their yield per acre, reduce the drudgery
and consequently swell the profits of success
full farming.
If this were not so, all the investigation
carried on to demonstrate and develop new
seeds, new processes and projections to
eliminate pests of various kinds, and to gener-
ally advance the interests of the greatest of all
industries is wasted. Itis we'll to be conserva-
tive but no one gets ahead by standing still

Food for Mind and Body

Word comes from Logansport that news
paper editor Of that thriving city has abandoned
his noble profession and opened restaurant
This news will be received by other newspaper
men with what the novelists call mingled emo
tons.
They will understand at once OF. course
that the commercial prospect has been too great
4 temptation. From their own experience with
restaurant checks they feel sure that profits
must be large and fortunes certain for those
who are in the business of feeding their fellow
men. They may even have certain sympathy
with their former fellow journalist in his new
undertaking, and his local brethren, as a passing
thought will hope that he will cater acceptaby
to the fastidious editorial appetite
The supplying of food for the body is an
honorable occupation; no editor will deny that
but what editor will admit it compares with the
work Of providing sustensnce for the mind?
What fair-minded person, even though not Of
the profession, can maintain that the man who
serves thin soup at rs or 80 cents and tough
steak at Sl.75, which the best of restaurant men
will do sometimes, is of as much service to hui
mainly as the newspaper editor who contributes

Freedom Of the Pres.

vi t-TVSN.
Omaha. Jan. ITO the Editor of
me Bee: The freedom of the press
IS absolutely essential to the we'll
being and the perpetuity of the in
stltutions Of freedom Of this repub-
lie.
10 abridge the freedom of the
press in situation OF national tran
quality | believe to be a crime.
AS long as Americanism Is the
very genesis and the unfolding of
the national consciousness to deny
the freedom of the press in an his
torlcal criticism and common sense
analysis of Americanism Is a perfid-
lous betrayal of the sacred trust
given the publisher by the American
people.
L recently asked the editor of the
omaha World Herald to give me the
freedom of the press In the express
sion of individual' opinion through
the columns of that paper in what I
believe to be a true historical ortiz
clsm and a common sense ANALYSIS
of Americanism, and was positively
refused the publication Of the fol-
lowing opinion:
AS fitting memorial to the real
pioneers of America we have again
celebrated Thanksgiving day. The
most significant recurring event in
the nations calendar. the true sig
nificance of which Is only commen-
surate with an appreciation Of the
civilization and institutions of free
dom of this republic. How many of
us associate with the day we cele-
brate an interpretative sense of
Americanism. Men and women are
today moving with faltering cour-
age and vagueness of vision to know
true America nism. The peoples Of
the battletorn nations of Europe
have received Anericanism in mys-
tic wonderment without knowing it's
peculiar relation Of civilization and
to human freedom. Americanism
crucified within the fears of men to
assert its meaning today will on to-
morrow arise to proclaim itself as
the political possibilities of the right
eousness that exalt a nation pecul-
lar to the Protestant religion. AS
long as this republic is Protestant in
the Interpretation of the teachings
OF Christ Is it's democracy secure in
the civilization of America.

A DAY OF poRrENr.

This is the anniversary Of the day on which
Andy" Jackson and his riAemen won the battle
of New Orleans against the British veterans
under Packenham. As such it has some sig
nifcance to patriotic Americans. 1t also has
racy. or to such of the professors of that pecu-
liar political faith as pretend to draw their in
spiration and authority from the Hermitage
Just now it has 4 new and more intriguing
portent.
Today word will come from the White
House that may or may not terminate the talk
of third term. What Andrew Jackson would
have to say in regard to the topic is not Of so
much interest as what Woodrow Wilson will
declare The Baltimore platform specifically
denounced the idea of third term thus:
We declare it to be the unwritten law of
this republic, established by custom and usage
for 100 years and sanctioned by the examples
of the greatest and wisest of those who
founded and have maintained our govern
ment, that man should be eligible for
third term of the presidential office.
Is this plan still unsplintered, and in binding
effect on the mos.back party? Would Wood
row Wilson dare aspire to another four years
at the White House with this declaration Of his
party confronting him? Here is another sec
ton from the platform on which Mr.. Wilson
first made the race and was elected:
We favor a single presidential term, and
10 that end we urge the adoption Of an
amendment to the constitution making the
president of the United States ineligible for
election, and we pledge the candidates of
this convention to this principle.
There the matter rests. Mr.. Wilson accepted
the principle, but made the race second time.
Mr.. Bryan, who framed the Baltimore PLATFORM
has taken no steps to secure the adoption of the
constitution. The message from the White
House and the speech of Mr.. Bryan at the din
ner in Washington tonight may clear up the
mystery.

Hoover on Helping Europe.

A statement from Mr. Herbert Hoover, who
is as we'll acquainted with the material needs Of
Europe as any man can be- concerning what is
necessary to enable the people over there to
get back onto their feet will have great weight
with Americans. And Mr.. Hoover says that
"outsde of temporarily deferring interest
(which has been donel Americas task is re-
duced to helping out the bread supply of less
than S per cent of the population of Europe;
that no such situation exists as that which con-
fronted America at this time last year, and that
there is no ground for hysteria on either side
of the Atlantic" Another very important point
is touched squarely by Mr.. Hoover: "The peo-
pie of prosperous nations who have not suffered
with the war should also aid in European relief
work.
Americans voluntarily assumed the tremen-
dous task of affording all relief the world
needed while the war was on, mainly because
our resources were greater and of easier access.
Now. that communication is unrestricted, no
good reason exists why some of the other coun-
tries should not contribute proportonatey to
the job. This is not selhshness on part of
Americans, but simple justice.
Order will be brought about in Europe more
specify II IL is maze pam 10 the people there
that they must do something for themselves.
The anarchy and chaos complained of is largely
of their own making. Ignorance is at the bot
tom of it all, but hysterica sympathy and ill.,
advised charity will not remedy this. One great
lesson must be learned by the millions of
Europe, and that is that no matter under what
form of government they live, the necessities
of life require labor to produce. UNLESS man
work, neither shall he eat" is true for them as
it is for ANYBODY

Dodge School DAYS

South Omaha, Jan. 4.-To the
Editor OF The Bee: / read an article
in one of the papers on the old Jail:
also a short piece about the old
Dodge Street school. 7 wonder how
many women and men are there in
Omaha today that remember Prin
cipal Allen and his switch, also Miss
McElroy. I remember the time Miss
McElroy was sick for a couple Of
weeks and they had two or three
teachers in her place. I missed the
fun the few days they had the First
grade teacher, as I was sick.
I often think of the fire we had in
1897 or 1898, when Off1e Downs beat
his drum as the children marched
out. The San Francisco Sun sent
him a very nice medal. also re-
member the time Mr.. Allen took the
seven knives away from the husky
colored boy and then threw him out
of the window. Mr.. Allen almost
went too far one time. He had a
class of us after school one night
and made us put our feet on the
front seat while sitting on the floor.
He almost lost his job for that trick.
The World-Herald gave a piano to
the schools about 1898 and, OF
course, Dodge Street school got 1t.
l suppose some of the boys and
girls also remember the first time the
"Black Crook" show came to town
and left a couple of their girls In
Omaha; also they started to Dodge
Street school. J. f. PHELPS.

Young lads whom you and /

Have kissed or flouted under gentle
moons
In distant fields they lie.
Beneath the blood bought soil Of Picardy.
Their names forever set
Among the great whom Time may not

In distant fields they lie,
So clothed upon with majesty
So far-so far
We can but view their shining star
That thrones its deathless fire
Above the puny reach Of our desire
Or love-or grief.

That we have ever known

That these have ever been to us the gay

opponents to win if your defense is
so perfect they can't shoot any bas
kets.
Some teams are coached in what
is known as the hve-man-defense-
game, in which every man on the
team plays a purely defensive game
as soon as the opponents get the
ball. But on the typical team the
bulk of the defensive work is done
by the guards.
A guard should be fast so that
he can cover his opponent quickly.
He must be able to start quickly
and stop quickly. If he starts
slowly. his opponent will be away
with the bali before he can get to
him and if he stops slowly, he will
be liable to over-rush or over Jump
his opponent and thus give him
free shot at the basket. A guard
should not be clumsy, Clumsiness
leads to fouling which is one of the
main things to be avoided. A guard
should develop the ability to inter
cept passes and get rid of the ball in
a quick, accurate pass. A held ball
making necessary jump play in
guard territory is 4 mighty danger
Gus thing.
The stationary guard plays back
under the basket rarely going out
from it farther than seven yards.
He should stay between his nearest
opponent and the basket. Thus he
is in position to beat him in get
ting rebounds and to prevent fol-
1ow-up shots. Also, he can meet
the speedy opponent coming into
the basket for a short shot. In this
manner, he forces his opponents to
take long shots. Then it becomes
his duty to rush and hurry the long
shooter in his territory. His duties
require him to be big and husky
with long reach and jumping abil-
ity.
The floor guard should have
speed. endurance and ability to run
the floor. He must be clever at
dribbling, lodging, and shooting
baskets. He plays the ball rather
than his territory or his man, al
though he must cover one of the
opposing forwards when the ball is
in the possession of the opponents.
He digs the ball out of dangerous
territory and dribbles or passes it
into his forward territory. He tries
for a basket whenever the oppor-
tunity presents itself, thus making
the fourth possible scoring man on
his team.
Next week: Basket bali team
work.

reason why income should be provided to meet
