THE ODDS AGAINST BORAH
Opposition to America's entrance
into the World Court, and issue which
will come before the Senate soon after
it convenes, is largely embodied in
the figure of Senator Borah. While
Mr. Borah's power is not to be be
littled in such matters as blocking
legislative action which is distasteful
to him, the chances now would seem
to be in favor of affirmative action
When Mr. Harding, whose attitude
toward the League of Nations was
thoroughly orthodox from the Repub
lican standpoint, announced in St
Louis that he favored entering the
World Court, that subject ceased to
be a party issue. Mr. Coolidge has
followed this Harding policy, and has
with him nearly all of the regular
administration Senators, and many
Democrats. The fight on the League
of Nations was conducted along par
ty lines. The fight on the World
Court will be conducted by guerilla
warriors, whose opinions are not
shared by majorities of their parties.
Besides, there is a very hefty public
sentiment arrayed against World
Court opponents, and the influence of
such powerful old granddads of the
Republican party as Elihu Root.
It' would be an admirable post
script to Locarno if the United State3
would take its place on a body which
stands for peaceful, orderly and just
settlement of international disputes.
It would atone in part for our de
sertion of our allies in the war. It
would pressage an era in which
quarrelsome nations would think
often before exercising their trigger
fingers.
We shall soon be better able to
judge of the strength which Borah
can muster. Just now, with Repub
licans and Democrats against him,
backed by the prestige of the presi
dential desire, he is fighting against
terrific odds.
:o:
THE GIRL AND THE CIGARETTE.
Does it ever occur to the girls that
the men are watching with the keen
est interest, not unmixed with dis
may, this deteriorating influence
which has become too apparent
among them to be longer ignored?
They are, and always were, the only
bright spot on the landscape; the
only thing that never lost its charms.
when all else palled; can it be won
dered that the men are becoming dis
turbed? It is, always has been, the
dearest thought to a girl to know
that she is looked upon with admira
tion. Under those circumstances, it
is incomprehensible to the man why
they should persist in making them
selves! unattractive; why the unsight
ly in fashion should be adopted, just
because it is the fashion; why the
courser nature and boisterous ways
of the man should be in favor and
supplanting the modesty, sweetness
and gentleness which has always
characterized their sex.
-:o:-
If Colonel Mitchell, one of our
half dozen or so aviators, is found
guilty of the charges for which a
court-martial is trying him, it is
probable he will be slapped on the
wrist and told not to fly so high
again.
:o:-
Just as this country gets about a
thousand billion trillion dollars in
vested in good roads everybody will
take to the air for travel and the
roads and railroads and trolley lines
will become as obsolete as the canals
now are.
WHAT PRICE LIBERTY?
Everyone used to own Liberty
bonds. Not every one does today.
Changing hand3 rapidly, they are fit
ting themselves into their permanent
niche in the structure of American
investments. Whoever is not ac
quainted with the market situation
in Liberty bonds is not familiar with
the basic position of the greatest of
American investments.
Their market turnover is prodig
ious. Not only the Treasury Depart
ment and the Federal Reserve Banks,
but great corporations and institu
tions have together sometimes dealth
in a billion dollars a day. The entire
outstanding issue of Liberty bonds
(approximately 16 billions) is turned
over, perhaps more than twice in
the course of a year. New York
Stock Exchange sales are but a min
ute fraction of the total. This market
no longer is a factor in the situation
and it is only a question of time
when the Liberty bond department of
the New York Stock Exchange will
cease to be important with the
market, subsequently made complete
ly in over-the-counter trading.
In this welter of buying and sell
ing. Liberty bonds are largely pass
ing from investors' hands into the
hands of those who need them for
specific purposes. Patriotic reasons
induced millions to buy, but business
advantage has induced many of them
to sell. Billions of the new issues
of corporate bonds have been paid for
by Liberty bonds. Higher yields in
corporate bonds have sought, and will
increasingly be sought as tax-exemption
becomes less and less attrac
tive owing to consistent cuts in tax
rates.
Banks are heavy buyers, for Lib-
ertys are an excellent cash equivalent
yielding nearly 4 per cent. Great in
stitutions such as life insurance com
panies, restricted by law to low
yield eligible investments, keep their
liquid reserve in Liberty bonds.
Investors reason that hig interest
rates may prevail for a few years
but that eventually the cycle of mon
ey rates may bring money again be
low 3 per cent. Consequently, those
who buy prime Libertys now are
making the investment for long-range
purposes.
For the investor there is one im
mediate question: Are Liberty bonds
still valuable as a commitment? The
answer may be put in two ways.
Practically, every investor should
still own Liberty bonds. They are the
nearest interest-bearing equivalent of
cash known. They are necessary to a
balanced investment list, wherever
need for cash is likely to be a factor.
Considering their amazing conven
ience, their yield is very attractive.

The Mitchell prosecutor objected
to certain evidence as "Incompetent,
irrelevant, and not obtained from the
best sources." Well, suppose the in
competent and irrelevant evidence
had been obtained from the best
sources, what then?

After the manufacturers have put a
few more controls on the wheel and

persons who will be able to drive a
car will be pipe organists.

Winter weather puts your motor to the test and much

Ever since automobiles first came to Nebraska, Red

only in the cities and towns where delivery is safe and
easy, but far out in the villages and rural districts
where the haul is long and hard.
No other oil company renders or attempts to render
such broad and consistent service to Nebraska motor

Red Crown.
So get the good Red Crown habit and stick to it.
Always when you need Gasoline turn in at the Red
