Normalcy in Private Morals.

When Brother Wilbur F. Crafts was in
Omaha during the week, he addressed note to
The Bee: Il suggest an editorial on Back to
American Moral Normalcy." His request
would be cheerfully complied with, were it pos
sible to determine just what he considers "Amer-
lean moral nornlalcy" If it consist of the pro-
gram he outlined in his public speeches while
here, some may challenge its normally. Like a
great many others, he has erected for himself
an ideal and through habitual consideration of
that ideal has come to regard it as the normal
state of man, and anything outside of it as be-
ing abnormal.
Three of the great evils that have grown up
with humanity are as completely minimized in
the United States as ever they have been in all
the world. Public gambling long ago fell into
such disfavor that it is nearly as dead as the
dodo in our country. Prohibition has done away
with open drinking, and there is good reason
for thinking that surrepttious consumption of
liquor is on the decline. And prostitution never
had countenance in the United States such as
it has had abroad. These things being true, the
other factors that deserve consideration in con-
nection with moral normalcy have to do with
amusements and Sunday observance, at least ac-
cordng to Mr. Crafts outline.
He hopes for the establishment of the "quiet
Sunday" of Canada. In this he has in mind
only that part of the Dominion that is quiet on
Sunday. Those places where the day is OBJ
served much as it is in rural regions of the United
States are not in the majority in Canada. Re-
lgion prevails there, perhaps, to an intensity
not yet attained on this side of the border, but it
seems to be healthy in spite of some goings on
that appear quite unseemly to the advocates of
strict Sabbath observance. Montreal, for ex-
ample referred to with reason as "the city Of
large churches and small homes" goes in for
amusements on Sunday with quite as much zest
as any American city. Toronto does not, but
this does not mean that one city is more godly
in its way than the other.
Progress is being made the church is not
losing ground, save as it misses its mission. Real
religion is not made up of conventicles and
creeds. nor does worship of God require that
man close his eyes to the good things God has
filled the world with Instead of turning back
to American moral normalcy," we would much
rather bring Brother Crafts into step with the
forward movement, to show him how much OF
the wonderful beauty of life he is losing, just
because he spends his time in trying to get things
back to where he thinks they were when he was
younger. His seventy-one years OF life cover
marvellous span of human activity, and in moth
ing is this more manifest than in mans moral

Memorial Day and Its Message.

completed their assignment, and now calmly
wait for the call to join those who have pre-
ceded them. Sixty years ago, tall and straight,
clean limbed and supple, with the tide of youth
coursng in joyousness through their young ar
teries they blithely swung into line and proudly
marched away to victory. A reunited country, a
land pledged irrevocaby to human liberty, is the
boon they hand to posterity.
Rather it is for us, the living" said Lincoln
at Gettysburg, TO finish the task they begun"
The experiment begun four-score and seven
years before he uttered those pregnant words
is not yet complete. We are as chargeable to-
day with carrying on the task as were those of
the living in 1865, when the great war was yet to
be brought to close. No variation may be
noted in the patriotic duty of every man and
woman under the starry banner. Passions that
stirred in human breasts sixty years, and even
sixty centuries, and longer ago than that yet rage
Avarice and greed and jealousy and envy and
hatred, all the worst attributes of humanity, have
again been loosened by war, and their baleful
shadow darkens the prospect.
But the generous spirit of sacrifice that saved
humanity through the past the courageous de-
votion to duty, civic as we'll as private, is the
grace through which the years to come will be
made secure. Memorial day recalls to mind
the dauntless heroism of those boys who barred
their breasts to battle, and who withstood Death
that the nation might live. Animated by such
examples, Americans may take courage again.
knowing that all their hopes and aspirations rest
finally on the rock of their own character. AS
they arc staunch and firm, each in his place, CIV

to bless mankind. .
The Grand Army will not perish, although the
last of its numbers will ere long be laid to sleep
the sleep that knows no waking" To the younger
veterans the Older will bequeath the care of the
precious trust SO long guarded with the fierce
jealousy of men who had but single purpose,
the welfare of their country. And, as Jeanne
dare led the hosts of the heroes of France over
the plains of the Marne on that fateful August
day seven years ago, SO will Grant. and Sherman,
Lee and Beauregard, ever ride at the forefront
when Old Glory goes forth to battle, and back
of them will come millions, living and dead, but
filled with the one great, holy desire, that of
keeping alive liberty for man.

Pursuing the Pugilist.

a protest sent from Lincoln to the governor
of New Jersey, directed against the projected
prize fight soon to be held in that State will
probably not have much effect in the way OF
checking the encounter but it will evince to the
world at least the enlightened sentiment of Ne
braska. 1t will be admitted without argument
that great majority of the readers of The Bee
are following the stories that daily emanate from
the training quarters of the champions Also,
that among the great mass of human kind ex-
lists, and always has existed, an admiration for
the man whose physical prowess lifts him above
his fellows. 1t was so at first, and probably will
continue to the end
Yet any one Of these silent admirers of the
champion pugilist will admit that the game is
not inspiring in any degree, that its appeal is to
the brute in man, and that its practice serves no
good purpose. One must carefully differentiate
here between the amateur and professional
boxer. Boxing as sport has undeniable merits,
as an accomplishment is of established service
A trained boxer is necessarily well-developed
man, both physically and mentally. AS any sort
OF physical exercise is beneficial so boxing is
commended. 1t is not hard to distinguish be-
tween boxing contests that are staged to exhibit
the skill of those who take part in them, and
prize fights, which merely go on to show which
of pair of highly trained and expertly dcvef-
oped brutes can endure and also inhict the
greater punishment.
Against the latter objection is raised. Most
of the opposition encountered by the American
Legion boys in their undertaking to secure a.bil
to legalize boxing exhibitions grew out of public
repugnance to prize fights. The prize fighter re-
mains as he always has been, about the most
useless barnace civilization yet has to shake off.

Quackery at Work
(From the New York journal Of Com
. merce md Commercial Bullettn.(

One Of the speakers at the foreign
trade convention in Cleveland
warned agricultural interests that
they could not afford to be 'duped
into believing that substantial relief
can come through the erection O.,
additional high tariff barriers. Equal
ly inadequate" he continues, "are
the proposals to bring relief through
the readjustment of railroad rates to
a prewar basis, the reduction of Fed
eral Reserve bank rediscount rates
based on farm commodities, n large
increase in federal reserve notes, and
other measures advocated today as
panaceas of our economic ills"
There Is great deal of truth in
this view, and If these words were
needed not only by the farmers but
many other interests. including con-
gress, many mistakes and much re-
sulting confusion would be avoided.
AS the speaker rightly points out,
the present plight of the farmers re-
suits from and is part of general
worldwide economic disorder. Con-
ditions are therefore to be improved
not by this, that or the other pana-
cea-for the most part unsound as
well as ineffective-but by careful
attention to the removal of inflated
and other unsound conditions in this
country by lending all practicable
aid in improving political and econo-
mic conditions abroad and through
co cooperation in other efforts to de-
velop a sound export trade. The
sooner these facts are fully and
widely realized the sooner are we
likely to attain full measure of
real and permanent prosperity.

Oh! their ranks are fastly thinning

Or our search for worldly treasures

Hark! to yonder distance drumming.

To pay homage to their buddies with red

They will keep Old Glory flying

Deep beneath the churchyard grasses In
their last great dreamless rests.

Some meath homeland churchyards'

Censoring the "Cornhusker. .

They're at it again, down at the University
of Nebraska. Some of the youngsters Just to
show that acquisition of an "a. B." does not
take up all their time, or exhaust completely
their energies, put out some pictures in the an
nual edition of "The Cornhusker" that do not
meet up with entire approval. If, as described,
they exhibit certain of the fair young co-eds in
unconventional garb, the judgment of the COM
plainants will be generally endorsed. Good
taste, not to speak of renFchivalry, should
forbid such publications But the college boy
is not always swayed in his course by such hne
considerations. He has his own conception of

Six Seconds in a Minute.

Over in Iowa great road building campaign
is in progress Part Of the work, OF course, in
cludes the mixing Of concrete for the base on
which the surface is laid. A regulation requires
that this concrete be given sixteen full turns in
the mixer before it is dumped and spread. One
minutes time is allotted for this. certain con-
tractor has planned the operation Of his mixer
so that the full sixteen turns can be made IN
ffty-four seconds. This does not sound very
big, only six seconds in a minute, but it really
amounts to saving Of one-tenth of the time
allotted He has crew Of thirty men employed,
and followed out that six seconds saved in each
minute amounts to the effort Of three men in
each ten-hour shift In other words, this con-
tractor by little calculation has made the SEEM
ingly insignificant fraction of minute OF a
source OF genuine profit He will come out well
ahead on his share of the undertaking. The
government engineer in charge OF the work says
he believes this is the only concrete mixing gang
in the United States to employ the method, but
it will probably spread, for contractors are
very prompt to put into effect any device or sys-
tenn that saves time when time means money.
The incident is referred to here to impress on
some who are inclined to waste minute here
and there the value of time when it is translated
into dollars and cents.

Verses Inspired by the Day
A BOY GOES BY.

Hats off
A boy goes by.
A boy who In the golden flush OF youth
Went forth to battle for the truth,
The joys OF homo he left behind
The mothers kiss. the friends so kind,
That he might help to overthrow
Humanity's most ruthless foe
And gladdened were his eyes TO see
The old flag there in Picardy.
Hats off
The boy goes by
For ne in honor has returned
To those who ever for him yearnod
Alas, there are no welcoming cheers
For throats are choked when there are
tears
But comrades, who we're In the fight
For God. for home and for the right
Are following him with measured tread
And with Old Glory overhead.
Hats off
Uncover every head
The boy who passed by is dead.
For God, for home, for country trus
He died for me--he died for YOU
Hats off
hero passes by,
Pay him the tribute Of a sigh.

Why They Eat Yeast.

c. ]. S. writes: "Why is it that
people have started to take yeast. as
am led to believe they do? What
is it supposed to do for one? What
is a reasonable dose? For what
trouble is it a cure?"
J. writes: There seems to be a
fad around these diggings' to eat
yeast cakes. What are they good
for? I am not sick, but thin. Will
they give me any flesh? ] am afraid
the remedy is worse than the disease
or maybe it is a case Of letting the
punishment fit the crime
REPLY.
You see, we health fellows had
something to do with putting the
liquor and beer fellows out of bust
ness. This left them with a lot Of
yeast, and it was up to us to help
them get rid Of it. So we set the
folks to eating 1t. At least, that's
what 1 have heard. But the yeast
that is commonly used is that en-
ployed by bakers. The amount given
varies from one to four ordinary
cakes a day. It is suspended in wa
ter, milk, soup, or beef tea. or eaten
when spread on bread.
Yeast Is a rapidly growing vege-
table. 1t has been suggested that 1t
be eaten as a food furnishing vege-
table, protein, starch, minerals and
vitamines. 1t is used as a source
of vitamines in certain deficiency
diseases. 1t contains substances
which stimulate or feed the cells
which fight certain infections. There
fore it is used in shingles, boils and
carbuncles. 1t has laxative prop
critics. particularly when the cells
are alive. Therefore it is useful in
mild constipation. IF it causes diar-
rhea, the symptoms can generally
be controlled by suspending the
yeast in water sufficiently hot to kill
the cells. 1t is harmless unless 1t
causes diarrhea or helps to cause
obesity, except in gout. Being a food
rich in cells and nuclei. it Is In class
with sweetbreads, liver, kidney. tripe.
and fries-food supposed to be
harmful in gout.
