T oday l ew Original Cheats. Mellon's Good Shotting. Laborers $25 a Day. The Cigaret Went Out. t^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Severe shock in Wall street for a little while. Some ingenious gambler thief sent forged checks and orders to many brokers, tell ing them to buy many stocks. Brokers bit and bought. Stocks went up, then went down with a bang when the truth came out. Meanwhile someone, somewhere, made money selling to the gulls that bought. Do you notice how little original cheating is done. It means, prob ably, that intelligence can make what it needs without cheating, al6o that honesty increases with intelligence. Some gambler at Monte Carlo once pinched all the odd number compartments on a roulette wheel, making the even compartments wider, then bet on even numbers and broke the bank two or three times. That was in genious. Another inventor made a fortune with an electrical sugar refining machine. First class granulated sugar came out of it, because the man had put that kind of --ugar info it. And Barnum exhibited his woolly horse, with false wool. But swindlers are usually dull. President Harding showed judg ment, choosing for secretory of the treasury Mr. Mellon, who had proved he knew something about money, by gathering up five or six hundred million dollars. Unit ed States debt has been reduced more than a billion and a half since April, 1921. and the govern ment this year will have a surplus of $165,000,000. The fiscal year’s ending will find the national debt down to about $22,400,000,000. That sounds big, but it’s less than $224 per capita, and a good deal less than half one year’s national income. Wages are good, here and there, and going up. Laborers on Hud son river brick barges get $1 a 1,000, unloading brick. A crew of six ean unload 150,000, which makes $25 a day per man. Barge captains are asking for transfer to the labor crew. Capital urges labor to stabilize itself, saying truly, that a dis astrous end must come to pyramid ing wages and cost. Labor re plies all right, we’ll stop raising wages, if you will help by cutting your profits on building and build ing materials. That strikes capital, of a certain type, as most unrea sonable. “Uncle Joe” Cannon, celebrat ing his 87th birthday yesterday, sent this message to the nation: “Have faith in your government.” In private conversation, he would have added: “But where you're personally interested don’t let faith keep you from watching pretty closely what is going on. The little fellows take it on faith. The big fellows watch, and put in their own men. That's what s the matter with the little fellows.’ Another young man is Ldward Payson Weston, past 84. He came into the office yesterday, to an nounce his plan for a walk from Troy, N. Y., to Chicago, this sum mer. “I’ll take it easily,” said he, “about 25 miles a dav average." Nearly 60 year* ago Weston’s walking matches interested the na tion. He said, to keep in good con dition, sponge off every day with cold water and put a handful of rock salt in It. There are many uses for Avers besides killing. Army machines should he used to fight, mosquitoes in their worst breedfhg places. Thev have been used in forestry work, scattering the seeds of forest trees. Farming and disease fight ting from the air will be an old story before the end of this century. Barbot, a Frenchman, crowed from France to Fnglnnd and back, his flying machine us’ng only half c gallon of gas, in its 50-milr flight and winning a prize of 15,000 francs. That’s important. It of fers hope of solving the gasoline I,-ice problem It ought to con vince automobile makers that the lime has come for them all to be gin flying machine experiments \ year ago Henry Ford said he would not bother with flying ma chines until thev became commer cially practical. Thev are that now. Ford and others will soon fly, on ill iourneys above 50 miles, to avoid the dangers of travel at earth level. No grade crossings, no blind corners, no speed limit, plenty of room up in the air. Hab't is strong. A young man jumped to his death from u ferry boat lighting a eigtret, inst before ip jumped. He and his cigaret vent out in the water soon after. \ French king nnologised to those nbout It’s bedside because he was >uch a tong time d"ing. l et nsr <n*s learn the v«lvi> of ri"ht haldts.

A Wall street newspaper discov ers that dirt farmers oppose a policv of isolation and lenn toward Jne league of nations. The dis covery was made sininly. Ques tions were sent to 01 farmers and their answers noted. Here’* a snmnlc question sent from Innocent Wull street to the guileless far mer: “Ho you helieve that America diould grant a creillt to Furonean nations. for purchase of American igrlcultural nroducts ' The far mer answered: “Yes U0 to .'US. with ’ighl iioncntnmittal."

Reform Mayor in Attack Over Lax Law Enforcement Norfolk Official Accused of Favoring Gambling and Op posed to Bootlegging— Presents His Side. Kpwial DiRputrli to The Onmlia Bee. Norfolk, Neb.. May 8.—^tleorge W. | Phelps, Norfolk's new mayor, has I had his first clash and as a result the outcome of his administration is being watched with unusual interest. During tile trial of a liquor law vlo lator the mayor was attacked by counsel for defense on the grounds of discrimination, the defense declar ing Mayor Phelps had publicly an nounced that he would allow card playing in soft drink parlors and poolhalls for cigars and trade chips as stakes, hut would not tolerate boot legging. Mayor Phelps, who was an Illinois school teacher, then worked as a rail road man and later became boxing instructor in the Sioux City V. M. C. A., declares he is going to rule this city with “common sense." Although he was elected-on a reform platform, lie has told his backers that he favors Kunday .“hows. Kunday baseball, and will not interfere with a friendly game of cards. His first movement was a personal visit to all soft drink parlors and poolhalls during which he told pro prietors that he was out for a "clean up" of bootlegging iOints. Proprie tors promised to warn bootleggers to keep out ami agreed to keep minors away. Policemen of the old force were removed and the new force given some rigid instructions. "Now 1 don't want to he taken for a radical reformer,” says Mayor Phelps. "My predecessors have said Norfolk cannot he cleaned up and I say it can, and I am making an effort to do the job. I have in mind a human administration and sort of middle-of-the-road schedule. I know that bootlegging and gambling have iso n going on in Norfolk in a pretty free way and that a large part of this was done in the soft drink par lors and the pool halls. I am going to stop it with proper cooperation. "I have staled that I am not going to stop citizens from having their friendly game of cards or shaking dice for a cigar or a trade chip. Nei ther will I interfere yvlth Kunday base ball nor Kunday movies. There are logger things than that for city offi cials to do, I know what the state laws are on the small subjects, but I aiso know what law's are on the greater subjects which are attacking the very foundation of our govern ment. It Is no longer a question of temperance and prohibition. It Is a question of the enforcement of the greatest laws which make up our con stitution.” Former Omaha Minister Defendant to Divorce Suit R«v. Francis P.

May 8.—Inside a j smokestack, SO feet aboye the ground, a steeplejack, Art Campbell, clung precariously to a wabbling two by four last evening.

Tap. inside the smokestack the steeple i jack was imbued with renewed j strength. He tightened his grasp on : the swaying board and listened. Again the tapping sounded. The firemen heard faintly; "Hurry, boys. I can’t hang on much longer," but he did for ninny minutes. Finally the steeplejack was pulled to safety. He collapsed when firemen lowered him to the ground. Campbell had been employed by the Sioux City Hrick and Tile company to repair and replace lightning rodr on the comnany’s 120-foot stack.
