Pellasra a "OneICrop" Disease.

Probably the heaviest penalty laid on the
farmers Of the south is the presence of pellagra,
which disease is reported by the federal health
department to be on the increase. Surgeon
General Cummings says the disease is due ito
the one-crop system, essential food required to
prevent the development of the disease being
obtainable only with difficulty and in some in
stances beyond the reach Of the poorer working
people"
This reduces the problem to what ought to
be reasonably easy solution. Some weeks ago
The Bee called attention to the fact that in the
south had been noted = tendency to produce
more and more OF food and less of cotton. A
greater diversity Of crops is the admitted saliva
ton Of the agriculture in Dixie. Cotton viii con-
tinue to be the staple, but it cannot continue
longer the almost sole reliance OF the farmer.

will not be brought about easily, for too much

of unintelligent and unskiled farmers. They will

Welcome for SCOTS Caravan.

Omaha should prepare some sort of well
come for Scots Caravan" now approaching
the citys gates. 1t would be unseemly, indeed,
were this great Gate City to allow this modern
instance OF an hegira to go by unnoted as
merely an incident in the passing Of auto tourist
traffic.
The Scott caravan stands for something that
Is more than unique As the bull teams of the
Argonauts pulling out Of the east for the golden
shores OF California were precursors of the
greater migration. "the first low wash along the
shore where soon shall roll human sea-" so
this train Of automobiles may mean the begin
ming OF another era Omaha has been familiar
name for generations to the pioneers of the
west. From here or hereabouts set out the
stream of travel that made the northwest an
empire The historic Mormon trek across the
American Desert took off for its final stage
from Florence, now part Of the city; Ezra
Meeker marked the Oregon TraiT through the
streets OF Omaha; the Overland Trail is yet
preserved to us, and all the early traditions of the
town are bound up in these movements.
As the oxen gave way to the faster moving
mule and horse teams, and these saw the pony
express and the stage coach superseded by the
railroad, so now the airplane and the automo-
bile are opening a wider vista to man, and
challenge anew his imagination. Scott and his
company from Brooklyn are typical of some-
thing greater. Omaha ought to acknowledge
their presence III some appropriate manner.

Americanisrn.

From the filth, the brutality, the despair of
Russian prison, where he was beaten thrown
bodily down stairways into foul, vermin-infested
cellars, sentenced to death-subjected to injuries
and indignities without precedent-Dr. w. B.
Estes of New York wrote Secretary of State
Hughes that he would rather die in Russian
dungeon than have his liberty purchased at the
expense of American recognition of the soviet
government.
Dr. Estes had not the physical vigor of Cap
tain Emmett fitzpatrick, who used his fists to
compel his cell-mates to submit to the opening
Of windows when the prison air was almost ur-
breathable, but he had the moral strength that
knows not the meaning of defeat, and does not
swerve from principle that is right He knew
what the soviet government stood for, and he
knew the methods they employed to attain their
ends. He knew the impracticability, the unfair
ness the ruthlessness of the bolshevist organiza-
ton, and he recognized that the United States
must never countenance such regime of de-
struction and death.
Americans read with pride of Captain Kill
patrick's fstic encounters with his ignorant fei-
low-prisoners, who objected to fresh air. The
affair was comparatively unimportant, but there
is something so truly American about the oc-
currence that Yankee hearts tingle with pride at
the reading.
There is little doubt but that Captain Kilpat-
rick would have joined DR.. Estes in his letter
to Secretary Hughes had he known it was being
written. Theirs is the Americanism that places
right and justice above self. Theirs is the pa
triotism that subjugates comfort, happiness and
life itself to the best interest Of their felowmen.
In reading of DR.. Estes letter, and his noble
choice of death rather than see his beloved
America clasp the hand of criminal govern
ment, the statue Of the revolutionary martyr,
Nathan Hale, which stands on the campus at
Yale is called to mind. On the pedestal OF the
statue, in bronze, is engraved the following quo
tation, the last words Of the noble patriot:
Il only regret that have but one life to
give for my country"
