TWO CENTS
To W, J. B., "Prohibitionist"
Editorial
You have been with u here in Nebraska now for sev
eral day. From reports, you have had jroodly crowd and
you have enjoyed your upeech-tnakinif and those of your old
supporters. who have been privileged tt hear you have en
joyed peeing you and have listened attentively to your
speeches as your audience and supporter always .do.
Hut the ixHues of the campaign, are they more clarified
by your coming and by what you have aid in your speeches?
Is the public mind morl at rent on the subject you have dis
cussed 7 If the intentioim of the voters are settled, are those
intentions what you have had in mind? Are the voters' pur
poses for November 7 the same as those you have come to
us from Florida to impart?
In an authorized interview in another Omaha paper on
Thursday, October 12, you stated, "I have never said that
prohibition is a 'dead' insue. I regard it as a 'settled issue'
in thM f lute because candidates of both parties have declared
for prohibition."
In this, as usual, you arc not in accord with Senator
Hitchcock, who regards the prohibition fasue as a "dead
i.Hsue in every sense, so dead, in fact, that he illustrates its
"deadness" by drawing a mackerel in a cartoon across the
front page of his newspaper. '
Moreover, you say the reason you regard the issue "set
tied" is "becauce both parties have declared for prohibition,"
yet, at the time of the democratic convention jn Omaha in
Auxutt, they read a statement from you in which you said
at that time that the liquor issue was "a settled, issue." This,
you will recall, Mr. liryan, was before Senator Hitchcock
had announced his desertion of his "wet" supporters and his
"conversion" to prohibition. Are we to understand the dem
ocratic party and Senator Hitclwock were for prohibition at
the time of the convention in Omaha Inst August?
H it possible that in August, at the democratic conven
tion, you already knew that Senator Hitchcock would, at the
opening of the campaign, desert his supporters and become
"converted" to prohibition? Js it possible that the "conver
sion" came privately in your presence and at your hands at
some previous date, and you were a witness to its "sincerity"
f.nd the deep emotions of spirit and contriteness of heart that
accompanied it?
If so, and you were informed as to the "conversion" at
the lime of the convention, undoubtedly also your "Brother
Charley" and Senator Hitchcock were informed Why then
the democratic platform "liquor plank?" Thi plank, Mr.
Bryan, you recall, talk only of the liquor issue "at sea." It
it not interested in liquor in Nebraska or in America, but
only in liquor "beyond the three-mue limit.
If vou. being present at the eleventh-hour "conversion
of Senator Hitchcock to prohibition, and you and your
"Hmiher f'h.'irlev" beinir impressed with "its "sincerity," al
though knowing it was to be announced at some later time
at the beer fining of the campaign, why was mere not sudbu
tuted a frank, honest and courageous stand on the liquor
issue in place of the ridiculous, ambiguous and straddling
prohibition prating of the democratic "liquor plank?"
Wo notice in Senator Hitchcock's paper that you are
scheduled to make your laet speech in Nebraska in Lincoln
next Monday. There you are to address the W. C. T. U. in
state convention assembled. If the liquor issue, as Senator
Hitchcock and your "Brother Charley" say, is a dead
.- .tn.imnir coir "iu a coflpfl i'shiip" in .Ne-
braskn, why is there a W. C. T. U. organization m Nebraska
at all? Why is there & meeting of the state W. ty T. U.
convention in Lincoln nexc Monday? Why an aduress to
the W. C. T. U. by W. J. Bryan of Florida?
.
Now, as a matter of fact, Mr. Bryan, who is it, who
really determines whether or not the liquor issue js "dead ,
ior "settled" or "sleeping" or alive and awake, aggressive and
' determined? Have you and "Brother Charley" and Senator
Hitchcock the right to decide? Or has the W. C. T. U.,
whom you will address in Lincoln next Monday, a voice? Or
has the state head of the Anti-Saloon league of Nebraska,
Mr. High, a voice, who says that never before was there a
greater crisis for the cause of prohibition? And who above
all others determines whether the liquor issue in Nebraska
i either "dead" or "settled?" Is it not the "wet" voters
themselves and their organization known as the "Associa
tion Against the Prohibition Amendment." the third plank
ot whope platform admonishes all members and supporters
"to work for the repeal of the Volstead acr anu men in uic
prohibition amendment itself?" This organization has a
headquarters in Nebraska and is, as was said before, cam
raigning for members, advertising in newspapers and has
written a letter to every candidate for state or national off ice
in Nebraska since the primary. This letter strives to get
c verv eamlidate for office in Nebraska, republican or demo
"crai; on record, and promises to support or oppose that can-

Grain Probe
Is Blocked
by Armour
Victor Murdot-k Tries in Vairf
to Shake Decision of Pack
er Not to Reveal Wheat
Future Trading,
Chicago, Oct. 11 (By A. J.
Ogden Armour again today refused to
give the federal trade commission,
which I InvsNilgutlng. trading in
wheat future, the figures showing
the extent oi bis grain trading in
1920, im and the early momfa of
1922. Mr. Armour, on the stand
Wednesday, had refused to give da
tails of hi grain transactions snd was
exriised until today.
Victor Murdock and other member
of the commission tried in vain to
shake the decision of the witness.
Finally Mr. Murdock, vice chairman
ot the commission, excused Mr. Ar
mour and said the commission would
decide later what It might do.
"Ant You Alone?"
In hearings in the enst as well s
thus -far In the Inquiry, conducted
here, Mr. Murdock said, the commis
sion hud been able to obtain from
every witness, except Mr. Armour,
such Information as 11 sought.
"Commissioner John F. Nugent, a
well as vice chairman Murdock, took
a hand at Questioning Mr. Armour
"Are you aloTie the only man un
willing to tell the commission these
figures?" Mr. Nugent asked.
Decline to Answer.
"I must decline to answer," Mr. Ar
mour said.
"Of all the witnesses you are the
only man who has refused to answer,"
Mr. Nugent continued. "Shalt we re
port that to the senate?"
"I don't believe I have anything to
do with that," the witness answered.
The. "May Squeeze."
L. L. Winters, who followed Mr,
Armour on the stand, was questioned
concerning,, fluctuations in wheat
price between January and June of
last year. He said "a rising market'
early In the year was largely due to
ths speculative demand. The "May
squeeze " he said was not due to any
concerted effort on the part of large
Interests to squeeze out the bears, but
because of warehoiiB crowding which
would prevent the shorts from making
delivery. The bull movement in the
May future, he said, was a legitimate
speculation.
The Invoking of the emergency car
lot delivery rule left the "bulls" with
alot of ftheat on cars in their hands
and to escape paying demurrage they
unloaded, forcing the market price
down, the testimony developed.
Without Breaking Market.
Had the wheat been delivered In
public warehouses, Mr. Winters
agreed, speculators probably could
have merchandised it without break
ing the market.

Beaver City, Oct. 13, Hpeclal Tele
gram.) Failure of tha Kansas state
administration to follow action taken
by the Nebraska state administration
in calling a special seealnn of the leg
islature and making a. reduction of
Wi per cent In the state levy for
1922, Is the chief argument used by
licmocW In Kansas in their attempt
to overthrow the republican administration.

the administration, as a result didn't
need to levy a tat for two year to
pay $2,000,000 for a bonus as Nebras
ka did. Nettlier has Kansas the mile

Harvey's conference Thursday with
Lord C'urxfln. the British foreign
minister, Is believed here to have
mad some' reference), to this gov
ernment's Ideas on the land disarms'
merit question.
It was disclosed that soother thiee
power conference to revise the nsval
treaty. Is within the range of possi
bllltles. The view of ths Harding ad
ministration Is that there is nothing
In the arms conference trestle which
Is against the Interest of Fram e, and
therefore it is hoped that ths French
government will find It convenient to
ratify them on soon ss possible, '
The fact that Lulled State, reat'
Britain and Japan accepted the naval
ratio of S 6 3, automatically more than
doubled tho strength of the French
navy, considered from a point of view
of relativity, administration officials
pointed out, and therefore wss greatly
to the advsntge of he French.
H-t tar as this government 1 offi
cially aware, there never has been any
objection raised by France to the fan
that the treaty gives Italy a parity
with it In naval strength. This govern
ment Is looking forwsrd expectantly
to the time when the French govern
ment will announce it readiness to
exchange ratifications, particularly
since th terms of th treatise provide
that they ahull not become effective
until ratifications have ben exchanged
by the signatory powers.
Revision Only Step.
While the administration decline to
believe France and Italy will refuse
to ratify, since there lias been no of
ficial information on that subject. It
is admitted that the only process for
making the treaties effective In caee
It should become apparent the French
and Italians did not Intend to do so.
