Today Killing With Food. More Fascisti. More Earthquakes. The Prince at Work. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ When you hear that a well known man is ill, observe the doc i ors and how they feed him. Many a man dies because doctors don’t know enough to take food from a man fighting a high temperature. Fpr your own sake, remember that the body cannot eliminate poisons and assimilate nourish ment at the same time. Elimina tion and assimilation don’t go to gether. While your temperature is above normal take nothing but water— plenty of it—and your tempera ture- will come down probably. The Spanish fascisti got to work later than the Ithlian fascisti, but Primo Rivera, Mussolini of Spain, proposes to make up for lost time. Labor organizations must not suggest strikes. Prominent people are leaving Spain without waiting to be pushed over the frontier. Primo Bivera announces an inten tion to make an immediate attack on those that are ‘‘the greatest enemies of the Spanish people.” He will decide who they are. This takes you back to the days in Venice when accusations were dropped into the lion's mouth. It is a vigorous government, but not the kind that lasts. Itf is one thing to start a national dictatorship by one man, as Mus solini did, and another thing to carry it through. The Spanish temperament is dif ferent from the Italian. Some of the Spaniards predict a counter revolution against Primo Rivera and Spanish “fascisrao.” That might be bad for King Alfonso and his dynasty. It is sure to come eventually. Earthquakes in Sicily and Malta, very violent in Malta. Few people to kill fortunately. A ter rific storm in Yokohama, flooding the temporary barracks, erected for refugees, has swept over the distressed city and 5,000 more are missing. The old style of thought would suggest a divine ruler saying to men: “If you are determined to fight and kill each other, I shall show you how to do it officially.” The prince of Wales, on his ranch, is helping to fill a silo with -unflowers chopped up. seeds and foliage. Packed into the silo, the vegetable mass ferments and pro duces an excellent milk-producing food, considerably stronger In alcbhol than the beer that you ean buy in the United States now. How do the cows stand it? Many wise men since the days of “back to nature” Rousseau would have told the prince of that if wise, he would stay outj‘"$here, filling silos, milking covrti studying nice clouds in the sky. keeping away from Europe’s problems, gaieties, responsibilities, and cornerstone laying. We are all creatures of habit. The prince will be back and take his chances. The hard coal miners have signed a two-year agreement by a vote of 480 to 20, and work be gins in the mines today. That’s one trouble out of the way. The next problem is to get the coal for a fair price. [t is stated, on what seems good authority, that Governor Pinchot will run for president in 1924. He would not have run had President Harding lived, but the temptation to run now is strong. He will have plenty of company, including some of those that tried and failed in 1920. A list of those that had re served campaign quarters in Chi cago, assuming that the conven tion will be there in 1924, would surprise you. Black horse optim ism is the hotel man’s profit. Big saw mills around Seattle work overtime, turning out the building materials that Japan chiefly needs. Rodman Wanamaker, who cabled $25,000 to Japan, with an offer of further assistance, hears from Count Shibusawa, that Tokio mid Yokohama have been practi cally transformed into great deserts of ashes. Japan asks pub lic opinion to help in floating a great Japanese loan in America, There should be no trouble in get ling such a loan, and the nation ought to m&ke the loan. If we can lend money to Europe to help one nation tear down an other; wp ought to lend money to our friends in Japan to help them rebuild. The Argentine will spend 9,600, 000 gold pesos “to modernize the Argentine navy." That amount of money would buy about one quarter of a first-class modern battleship, yet that sum is big enough to modernize the Argentine navy and make the Argentine quite safe from attack by sea if the money is all spent on modern fighting ships of the air built at a fair price.

Buckner Case to Be Reopened at M.E. Conference Report Is That Former Pastor at Aurora Will Ask for Reinstatement and Transfer. Lincoln, Sept. 19.—Souls and not dollars should b* the cry of tho churcrt, was the unanimous sentiment expressed here today at the 11th an nual conference of Methodist ministers of Nebraska. This sentiment crystallized following an address by J. R. Gettys, superin tendent of the Nebraskad istrlct. Superintendent Gettys asserted that the next campaign waged by tho church must be one of evangelism and not of dollars. The superintendent was cheered, loudly, when he said:' "What is needed is to close a few office desks and put more people to work saving souls; to send less people around managing drives and more people spreading the gospel.’ The conference will he astir over two Important matters, the election of delegates to the general conference at Springfield, Mass., next May, and a rehearing of the Buckner case, which has aroused interest in general church circles. It is ruipored that Dr. Buckner has accepted the pastor ate of a Congregational church in South Dakota and it is expected that he will ask to be reinstated in the Nebraska conference and allowed to transfer to the Dakota church. It is expected that there will be but few changes in the pastorates of the Omaha churches. It is thought that W. N. Wallace will leave Lefler. It is certain that E. L. Gelsinger will leave McCabe. There is much anxiety among the Walnut Hill church mem bers lest they should lose their pas tor, Victor West. It is known that Rev. Mr. West has been asked to take ft prominent outstate church. He left the city yesterday without making any statement as to what his decision would be. He has been pasor in the city three years and in that time has made an enviable record. He is secretary-treasurer of the Omaha Ministerial union. Other than these possible changes the pastors of last year will be re turned. Rev. A. S. Buel has Just moved Into a new parsonage. Rev. M. A. Keith is in the midst of a building enterprise. It is not likely that either of these will be moved. The McCabe Methodist church, Fourtleth and Farnam streets, is to be abandoned and a new church is to be organized in Dundee. The pastor will come from outstate and will be at his new duties here about Oc tober 1. Superintendent Gettys reported that 300 new members had been added to his district in the year -end a total of $64,900 expended for Improvements, Including a $20,000 church building at Endicott. Superintendent Bryan Howe of the Columbus district reported a decreased debt and at total expenditure of $13,; 007 in improvements. He injected an interesting feature In his repost by referring <o Rev. W. P. Alexander of Greeley, who has been in church work for 58 years and returned to answer the call tb Greeley after he had been placed on the retired list. Superintendent J. W. Embree of the Hastings district reported consrtuc tlon and dedication of a new $24,000 church at Harvard. Following are officers re elected by the conference; A Allen Randall, Friend, secretary; H. G. Langley, Central City, treasurer; A. V. Wilson, Trenton, statistician; A. E. Chadwick, University Place, postmaster. Bishop Homer P.

London. Sept. 18.—Countless daring plots for bootlegging and rum run ning are hatched in Miami, “one of the most mysterious little cities in the world,” according to H. Dewinton Wlgley, in his seventh “Bootlegging Article” In the London Dally News. Wlgley charges that one of the foremost conspirators, who aids in ir rigating the southern states via Nas sau and the British Bahamas through Miami, Is a leading member of the Ku Klux Klan. Another is a promi nent restaurateur, and somewherein this thriving Florida town the king of bootleggers has his headquarters. He states that the scheme to estab lish a palatial rum casino on one of the rocky British isles has been abandoned, because it is so easy to smuggle liquor into America. It is declared that by knowing the ropes, and with the connivance of certain customs officials, It is possible to ship any quantity of liquor into America The latest scheme Is to ship liquor into the states through Florida In cans labeled tomatoes, peaches, or pears. Everybody In Miami knows of the traffic which is not Interfered w’ith because the big fellows among the bootleggers know how to dis tribute the graft. Wlgley concludes his article by declaring: “While Washington and London are arguing about reasonable supplies of liquor aboard reputable liners going into New York harbor, a river of li quor from England and Scotland is pouring into the states by means of trickery, bribery and violence. “Some dealers In Nassau Insist that the trade is on the downgrade, but others say It is going to boom again In the near future. "Washington officials told me that Papillion Girl Wins Legion Scholarship Ivy Beeline. Miss Ivy Beerline, 19, of Papillion, has been awarded the nursing schol arship offered by Rose E. Buman (nurses') division of Douglas county post No. 1, American Legion. Miss Beerline Is the sister of an ex-service’ man and finished the ex amination of candidates for the schol arship with colors flying. She is a graduate of Papillion High school, and had It not been for the scholarship awarded by the legion nurses would have been unable to complete her edu cation. • She starts her training course Im mediately at the University of Ne braska hospital training school of nursing. the demand Is lessening and that the back doors for rum running are gradu ally being closed, but I imagine that Nassau will nnt lose Its trade.” Bee IVant Ads produce results.

Water Board to Have Own Investigation c Counsel for Utilities District Says City Commissioners Have No Authority in Matter. The Metropolitan Utilities district at a special meeting this morning passed a resolution to hold an inves tigation Into the Impure water situa tion during the past month, and fur ther Stated that'the city council is without authority to hold a slmilnr hearing. The opinion was based on a state ment made by John I.ee 'Webster, counsel for the board, who said that "the city council nnd mayor are with out authority under the statutes to hold an Investigation, because the water board is outside of their Juris diction.” The water board in the resolution Invited the city council and Chamber of Commerce to Join in the investi gation, which would be conducted un der the direction of the hoard sitting as a committee of the whole.

"W.e are a subcommittee of the city council appointed to make this inves tigation,” said Koutsky. "We must carry out the wishes of the council and make our report to the commis sion."
