Today Assorted News. Stocks, Drink, Flying. Far Enough, Now. Gold, Yellow and Cold. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Stock markets felt better yes terday. The patient sat up and took a little nourishment on the long side. Some think there will be no coal strike. Others think this country can’t get along, Americans buying and selling to each other and to countries that escape the war smash. Also, don’t forget, when asked about general conditions, to take prohibition into account. Hun dreds of millions that went into whisky every year now go to sav ings banks and to legitimate mer chants. Time and energy, former ly devoted to getting over the night before, now go into real work. What the final result of prohi bition will be. time will tell. Whether northern races have suc ceeded in spite of alcohol, or thanks to it, we don't know. But there’s no doubt that for a while at least, prohibition means marvellous prosperity. The Turks beat everybody when Mohammed took alcohol from them. American army men broke the world’s flying speed record yester day—3,000 kilometers in 21 hours 11 minutes. Germans are building flying machines for a 28-hour service between Hamburg and New York. Real flying is beginning. The Irish free state wins the election, naturally. Only 60 per cent of the inhabitants cared to vote. Apparently that “distress ful country” means to try an ex periment in quiet government. Any more fighting in Europe cer tainly would seem unnecessary. Belgium complains that it only got from Germany two million gold marks more than England got. England spent on the war that saved Belgium from the kaiser at least two hundred thou sand million more gold marks than Belgium spent. No com plaint from England, so far. Learned gentlemen of the Bar association want the United States --upreme court removed from Washington, “far from the in fluence of congress,” which means the influence of the people that elect congress and appoint su preme court judges through their paid servant, the president. Some citizens think the supreme court is quite far enough away from the influence of the people already, that, it would not do any harm to bring it back a little closer. Placer gold is found in Alaska at Anchorage. That is the most 'ileasteg kind of gold, for any body—boy, girl, Chinaman or philosopher—can sit with his little pan and wash out dust and nug gets. Plenty of people will go there and waste four dollars for every dollar found. More money has been put into gold mines than has ever been taken out of them. Young Mr. Sutphin inherited * 100,000 and took violently to drink while the money lasted. The police, taking charge of his corpse, -aid they were uncertain, “it might be suicide, murder or alco holism.” A doctor, detecting a -mell of almonds, said: “Cyanide of potassium, sui cide.” How close together are those three words.“SUICIDE, MURDER, ALCOHOLISM;” as close as three others, POVERTY, DIRT, DIS EASE. A distinguished senator sug gests buying one of the palaces in IJerlin for the United States am bassador. Palaces in all capitals for our democratic ambassadors, to be paid for by the people, are uggested seriously. There are everal second-hand crowns drift '!i£ around Europe at bargain prices. Why not get one of those for each American ambassador? If you must make an ass of your self, do it thoroughly. Bandits from big cities are pil jaging farms in Germany, to get hoarded food. It will be worse in the next war. Then poison gas and explosives, dropped on cities, will send their millions of people nampeding, scattering through the country regions, to escape sure death aimed at gTeat crowds. Only yesterday country people crowded into cities and fortified places for protection in war. All changed now. Mr. Bedford, head of Standard Oil, says the future will pay for foolishness in regard to oil mat tors now. That is right. For every bargain gallon of gasoline the public gets now below cost, it " ill buy two gallons later at dou ble and triple price. However, big oil companies need not weep, for the little ones arc being killed off. In the end all will .he for the best in the best possible of corporation countries.

Wednesday to welcome tho South Dakota the Omaha Good Will special with its 125 riproaring Ne braska boosters, headed by John L. Kennedy, chairman of the excursion committee of the Chamber of Com merce. With announcement that the train would be a half hour ahead of time, many of the party got up earlier than they have in many a day. It was a glorious morning, and as the special rolled by fields teeming with fine-looking corn and cattle the early risers realized what a great While the Citizens’ band of Park ston. 8. D„ struck up “How Dry I Am,” Mayor Frank Issenliuth pre sented Mayor Dahlman with a tall glass of 8outh Dakota pure water. The 125 boosters waved their um brellas and morn than a thousand town folks cheered. Mayor Dahlman drank the water and said: “As mayor of Omaha and a member of the water board, I receive your gift with many thanks.” territory lies north of Omaha. Newly painted farmhouses and other im provements were another Indication of the prosperity that surrounds Omaha. L«d by Dr. Waggener's Jaza saxo phone hand, Mayor Dahlman and Governor Bryan doing the goose step, the Omaha boosters marched through the streets of Mitchell. Every one carried red, green and yellow umbrellas and wore white hats with Ak Sar Ben ribbon bands. 1 All Roll Out. ,As the train neared Mitchell, Acting Commissioner BUI Ellis, generalissimo of the train, gave orders that every one must march. “Come on, Buck, get out of that berth,” Mike Coakley of the M. tl. Smith company roared into one of the lowers. Out rolled Everett Buck ingham, of Union Stockyards fame. Ed Droste of the First National bank, Walter Klopp of the Klopp Printing company, A. F. McAdams of the Northwestern Bell Telephone company and George A.

"This Is more than a mere trade ex cursion, X believe. The building of the Yankton bridge Is probably as important as any project developed since the Union Pacific railroad was brought to Omaha. AVo should do everything within our power to com plete the Yankton bridge and open the great northwest territory to Oma ha Industry and business." "The great wealth of this country has its arms extended, pleading with us to come and get our share," said Mr. Kennedy. Everett Buckingham said he has boosted for 15 years for the Yankton bridge. “I realize its Importance to the whole state of Nebraska, especially Omaha,” he said. "It will bring mil lions of dollars worth of business to our city." P. H. Davis, president of the First National bank, said it should be an easy matter to get a railroad to build between Omaha and Yankton over the new bridge. "Minneapolis end Sioux City are taking business out of the A’ankton district which should go to Omaha. The bridge will do the work for Omaha,” said Davis. The Good AVill special left Mitchell at about 10 this morning. Journeyed to Yankton, making short stops at Ethan, Dimock, Parkston, Tripp, Kay lor, Scotland, Tyndall and Tabor. Large crowds met the special at >ach of these town. A delegation from rankton headed by Ben Katz, presi dent of the Yankton Chamber of Commerce, met the Omaha boosters at Scotland, S.

Touch the Purses. “Fines and Jail sentences on tenants don’t affect the owners of these places," said Samardiek. “Closing the buildings will touch the purses of the owners and teach them not to wink at violations of law by the tenants. They will learn that it doesn’t pay to have bootleggers for tenants even when they get bigger rent from them." The injunctions signed by Judge Woodrough are temporary and allow the defendants 20 days In which to answer and give cause, If any, why their places should not be closed for one year.
