Hereafter According to Doyle.

Mutton broth and trained nurse in heav-
eny hospital ward is to be the portion of un-
worthy souls, according to Arthur Conan Doyle,
who finds that only per cent of humanity is
deserving of disqualification in the hereafter.
Philosophers and humanitarians alike agree, and
even theologians do not all seriously demur, that
the birthstone pit and the everlasting bonfire were
inventions designed to meet the requirements of
day when folks liked to eonsign their enemies
to place of eternal punishment. In the fitness
of things, only few could escape torment, those
amounting to about the percentage Dr. Doyle
now assigns to the care of the clinic. This makes
the reversal of opinion the more interesting. but
it has not done away entirely with some features
of orthodoxy. Great church organizations still
are functionng, pointing out to men and women
the way to better life here and promising more
of reward and less Of punishment in the world
to come. While the debate is going on most of
us will do well to rely On the general rules laid
down so many years ago, and which require cir
cumspeeticn as well as sacrifice as part Of our
daily conduct. 1t is unwise to depend on the

/. Ak-Sar-Ben's Tag Day.

Omaha has had lot Of tag days" during the
last year; in fact, it is stated that in 1921 only
four Saturdays went by that were not so desig-
mated. This has naturally created something
akin to. a tired feeling even among the most
generous of givers. Yet here comes tag
day that is real one. Ak-Sar-Ben is going
out for members OH Thursday, and only the pos
session Of 1922 button will insure immunity.
The alternative is $40 bill.
Why does Samson need more money than
ever this year? Because he is planning to do
more than ever. The membership fee just about
takes care of the entertainment at the Den, leav-
ing parade and other expenses to be provided for
in other ways. Last year more than 5000 visitors
were provided for, in addition to the 4,0O0-odd
templates guests to the number of 10000, and
these are to be looked after and provided for in
manner that BELTS the dignity and importance
Of his majesty King Ak-Sar-Ben.
The Den show is big feature, not merely of
local life but for the region adjacent to the king
capital city, and it means great deal to the So
iourner. In fact, the reputation Of the institu-
ton has spread so that many who come to
Omaha on business time their arrival so as to be
present on Monday night. Omaha is gamer by
reason of the good report so attained, and that
is why Samson is turning his minions loose for
the great roundup that precedes the opening of
the season. An Omaha man looks better behind
an Ak-Sar-Ben button than he does wearing any
other insignia during the summer time

ABOUT SEPTIC ANEMIA.

DR.. William Hunter, who has been
studying anemias for 80 years. di-
vides these blood diseases into chic
rosis, slossitic, anemic and septic
anemia Glossitc anemia is what
most people call pernicious anemia.
Seventy-one per cent of the cases
Of Elossitic anemia are in men and
IS per cent of the cases are in per-
sons over 40 years of age.
Independently OF other symptoms
given in this column, these two char
acteristics set this disease apart from
chlorosis.
1t is not so easy to decide between
septic anemia and the other kinds.
Septic anemia is more like gloss
itic anemia, usually called pernicious
anemia, than it is like chlorosis. In
fact, most people who read DR.. Hun
ter's articles. on septic anenias, writ
ten 20 years ago, thought that he
had reference to perniclous anemia..
Septic anemia is the result of the
absorption Of pus from long stand :.
ing suppurative process, located
generally around the teeth. '' 80
The cases which develop most
strikingly are those which follow
badly neglected cases of pyorrhea in
which the teeth are very loose and
pus discharges freely from around
the roots, or cases of prolonged,
profuse suppuration in some Of (. the

One Very Real Issue.

Mr.. Andre Tardicu continues to offer
gratutous advice TO the government OF the United
States as to what course it should pursue. His
latest letter is directed to criticism of the course
pursued by the Uuited States with relation to
European credit. The Anglo-Saxon plan, he
says, has broken down, and then he asks "Whcn
shall we have European plan? When French
pan'"
His latter request MAY be answered very soon,
for French commission will shortly arrive in
Washington to consult with the Allied Debt
commission, relative to payments Of the French
debt to the United States, which now amounts
to $3340857,s93 principal and S430,O00,0O0 ac-
cumulated interest. This is one very tangible
point, which NJ. Tardicu might give attention,
and perhaps might solve, but not in the off
hand way with which he disposes of other items
in his problem. For example he says "the Eng
lish Mines because OF high export prices, lost
their foreign markets." but he negects to explain
that this was brought about chiefly by France
and Belgium exacting from Germany more coal
than they could use, and then coolly underseling
England in the Dutch and Italian. markets. This
precipitated the great British coal strike of 1921,
and cost the English people enormous, sums of
money.
Tardieu's insinuation that the United States
is actuated by sinister motives does not come
with very good grace, particularly from the man
who set up to be our mentor and guide during
1918. The French war debt is a very real
issue, and the commission now on its way from
Paris will get some dependable information after
it has been in Washington for time.

China and the Western World.


According to press report, opinion prevails
at Pekin that China requires "a progressive
government headed by young Chinese familiar
with affairs of the western world"
And the same report states, 'ft Is regarded as
almost certain that foregn educated Chinese
will dominate the executive branch Of the new
government"
Far more than at any time hitherto, China
must now take the western world into account
AS member of the society of nations she must
keep step, and the western nations measure the
stride and set the pace.
Fortunately for China. she has many sons
qualified to participate in this work. Large
numbers of her young men have been educated
here in America while as many more have had
the benefit Of European training. Taken to-
.gether, they constitute a large corps familiar
with western processes of government and busi-
ness. and, with opportunity should be capable
of applying them successfully to home affairs.
But it should be remembered that changes
are taking place in the western world they
must take place in the eastern world A new
world is emerging from the wreck left by the
war, and the time is ripe and the necessity great
for bringing the east and the west into closer
accord and better understanding of each other.
The road in the future will not be easy to
travel, and good company and common pur-
pose will be welcome and helpful, forward as
we'll as backward nations standing in need.

An Old-Fashioncd Remedy.

From the Kansas City Journal
National and international financial crises
always bring forth great variety of proposed
remedies. All sorts of fantastic schemes have
been suggested which, according to their advo-
Gates would wipe out all European stability as
I easily as Aladdin rubbed his lamp.
l. The fact must not be lost sight of that Euro
pean financial disruption can not be remeded
except through natural and normal channels.
Artificial devices intended to stabilize foreign ex-
change can not possibly be effective until many
of the simple, underlying essentials of foreign
exchange operate smoothly and naturally. The
same is true when applied to European general
economic recovery. AS Secretary of Commerce
Hoover pointed out not long ago, that recovery
is dependent upon balancing of taxation and
expenditures, the reorganization of currency,
wise control Of exports and imports, and credit
for productive purposes.
The most important of all is the balancing
OF expenditures and taxation This resolves it.

the continental countries a deficit has been
created every year since the war.
Nothing has q more important bearing on
large expenditures than the size OF the armies
maintained by European countries. Before the
war, France spent $177,656,000 annually for
military purposes. Last year she spent s114S,-
Great Britain before the war were $135,OOO,OOO.

History for the Young.

From the New York Evening Post.

pals says emphatically no. In a report presented
to Superintendent Ettinger and based on an IN
vestigation Of dozen textbooks.
One merit can not be denied to this report
at the outset. 1t draws clean-cut issue when
1t lays down the following principles:
The authors have written from the point
of view of a critical historian rather than
from the point Of view OF teacher.
The pupils in our public schools should
not be taught the personal fangs and
weaknesses of our national leaders.
1t is admitted in the report that Hancock
and Jefferson have been roughly handled with
the very best motives. 1t was the purpose OF
the textbook writers to promote good relations
between this country and Great Britain. and
incidentally to promote the cause Of truth, by
representing thes Revolution and subsequent
Anglo-American contretemps as not altogether
contest between angels and devils. 1t has been
a protest against jingoism which is always de-
srable. But the question does remain whether
it is not possible to show that there were very
decent Englishmen in England about the year
1875 without telling the whole truth about
Hancock and Jefferson.
Purely as a pedagogical problem we believe
that it is easier to awaken interest in the his
