Today People Head to Manage. Remember * the Other Negro. Miracles, OH and New. $2 for Bricklayers —* Awful. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE j Soon you will know what can be done in getting money from a country by those that have con quered and disarmed it. The French will take the private property of Germans, mines, fac tories, etc., and wffrk them. Those that interfere will stand before a firing squad “for sabotage.” Those that refused to work in confiscated plants will go to jail. The French, thorough, logical, go through with what they start. But they may be disappointed. A religious organization in South America undertook to treat a tribe of Indians as France now tries to treat the Germans- of the Ruhr. The Indians were kindly treated, but thoroughly exploited. They went to bed and got up by the ringing of a bell, worked hard all day long and their souls were sav ed by conversion to Christianity, an additional profit. Everything scented to be going well, when sudd&Qly the Indians stopped having chSQfen an^ there were no more WDrjters after that generation. E^liiCiiting human be ings on a big scale is always diffi cuit. Marcus Garvtey who started an “all black” steamship line, promis ing his negro followers a republic in Africa, goes -prison for five years. * t His followers feteel, praying, as he is led away, it pitiful scene of confidence misplaced, if the judge and jury reached a righteous o*> cision. Everybody will read about the illiterate black organizer of the African republic, his collegiate gown, gold-headed cane, gold eye glasses, top hat, etc. Simeon Strunsky, in his able editorial page, reminds you that the country should also hear abo\it another negro, Dr. Carver, winfler of the Spingam medal. Dr. Carver’s work in agricul tural chemistry, as Mr. Strunsky says, will honor any white scien tist. What is more important, it will greatly increase the value of farm lands and crops throughout the south. Passing from gTave to gay, Mr. Strunsky creates this pleasant mot: “In reply to reiterated inquiries as to his plans, Mr. Ford says: ‘Yes, I have no presidential am bitions.’ ” Mt. Etna’s violence is subsiding. The worst is over, perhaps, for centuries. Villages and vineyards are locked up forever in the solid stone of cooling lava. And you see an interesting contrast between ancient and modern methods. The inhabitants of two towns engage in a desperate fight to secure a miraculous “staff” sup posed to have power to stop the lava flow. While the fight was going on engineers with trenches and barri cades actually wore diverting a lava stream from a village of many inhabitants toward land un inhabited. Modern miracles also work. Bricklayer* have won their strike and $2 more pay. They set 1,000 bricks per day. Conservatism is horrified at this, but nobody seems excited because the brick manufacturers get $9 more for 1,000 bricks than they did a year ago. The manufacturer demands an increase in profit 400 per cent as great as that demanded by the bricklayer. But the brick maker is a capitalist—so that's all right. Baron Rothschild In Paris dis covers that he paid 150,000 francs for a “fake” antique. He was just as happy before he knew of the fraud. Now he is unhappy; also slightly ridiculous. Let that tench us to think long before we reveal too much truth to those that do not want It. If the Mohammedans like to believe in a heaven, with private ownership of many young ladies, made of solid musk; if Buddhists wish to believe that Gautama, tired of his young wife and her many assistants, gave hia body to feed a starving tigress that had no milk for her cubs—be careful how you convince them of their folly. Their “antique delusion” may he more valuable to them than your modern truth. John D. Rockejelier, Jr., gives $160,000 to supply hospitals with insulin, the miraculous extract of the pancreas that cure* diabetes. This news is far more important than the amount of money in volved, which is small for a Rocke feller gift. It proves that the Rockefeller scientists have thoroughly investi gated the value of "insulin” and have pronounced It beyond ques tion a cure for diabetes, although possibly not in every case. The Rockefellers give generous ly. but cautiously and adentifle / a Departmental Surplus Is Cut by Bryan Forces Administration Continues to Load Up With Supplies at Cost of McKelvie Regime. Special ninpatch to Tho Omaha Bee. IJncoln, Jun 22.—The effort of the Bryan administration to load up with lupplles at the cost of the McKelvie Pdmlnistration continues. The bien nium ends July 1 and after that date all 'purchases must be paid for with appropriations charged to the Bryan ldministratlon. Such spending also cuts down any surplus in the various departments and a surplus in a department pre sided over by the former governor is something appointees of the present governor understand they must avoid. iVhether they can find enough needs :o absolutely wipe out tho surplus jvhich should be on hand July 1 is problematical. Spends $500 for Stamps. Today George E. Hall, secretary of he department of finance and rev *nue, 'purchased $500 worth of stamps lor that department. This Is suf 'iclent stamps to operate his depart nent for the next two years. The iverage monthly stamp bill of the de jartment is $20. Tom Carroll, state sheriff, is to have another high-powered motor L-ar this month. State Purchasing Vgent Ferris announced. Four new putomobiles and extensive camping ■quipment have been purchased for he bureau of game and fish. The purchasing agent has ordered 150,000 fish and game licenses foB 1924. Ordinarily such licenses would be ordered and paid for In Novem ber, 1924. Thousands of dollars worth of an nual reports have been ordered and will be paid for this month, many months in advance of the publication of such reports. Another Stamp Spree. Grant L. Shumway, secretary of agriculture, has ordered $600 worth of stamps. Several hundreds of dol lars in stamps also has been ordered by the department of public welfare. The state university has trans ferred $270,000 from the genera] fund to the cash fund. This will enable that institution to spend the $270,000 during the coming biennium if it de sires as the cash fund may be drawn upon at any time. If the money remained in the gen eral fund after the end of the bien nium It could not be spent until the legislature meets In 1925, when It could he reappropriated. This trans fer has been sanctioned on the ground that the university had drawn on the cash fund when the expendi tures should have been made on the general fund.
