Today Miss Bartlielme Elected. Other Good Voting. “You Feed Them:’ We Disappoint Zangtvill. By ARTHUR BRISBANE V-> Mis3 Mary Barthelme is elected circuit judge in Chicago. “Practi cal politicians” said Chicago men would never vote to put a woman over them, as judge. But they underestimated the average Chi cago men’s respect for good wo men. Chicago is to be congratulated upon setting a good example to other cities. And especially to be congratulated arc the earnest men and women that worked for the good result. - Voters of New York state on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to give the soldiers their bonus, by an amendment to the state consti tution. New York voted also to increase the pay of policemen and firemen, and voted $50,000,000 for better hospitals. The people are generous. They voted down an amendment that would have given the water power of the state to privateers, with rich graft for public officials. It is a good idea to let the public decide for itself although politi cians consider that most unwise. Frank Fnlos, a crippled laborer, takes his four young children to the state workmen’s compensation bureau, and says, “You feed them, I can’t.” Ten thousand voices will cry, “What, you can’t feed them? \ou must feed them. It’s your duty.” To that everybody says, “Amen,” yet the crippled father would get no reward, except a quiet conscience, for feeding those children, whereas the community in general would get the value of their work. Parents are working for the na tion, and supremely wise provi dence makes them eager to do it, glad to sacrifice themselves for the coming generation. Jean Jacques Rousseau left his five children, one at a time, on the steps of the Foundling asylum, with no identification. No one knows what became of them, or what value they might have had for the world, had they had a chance. Probably they were in cluded if they survived, in the crowd that howled around the guil lotine a little later. There again, you see, provi donee working most mysteriously. This man who abandoned his chil dren to their fate in infancy, and i whom you would call the vilest of ! fathers, wrote, “Emile,” the best hook on education ever written. It is not given to everyone both to preach and practice. Israel Zangwill lectures on “The truth about America.” Pilate ask ed, “What is truth?” And how. can Mr. Zangwill be sure that he has it to tell? His co-religionists declare that he is far from the truth in his views and Zionism. If he cannot judge Jerusalem after a life of study, how can he judge America, in two weeks? His literary brother, Heine, speaking of America, exclaimed, “Oh, freedom. thou wicked dream,” when he heard that an American mob tarred and feather ed a clergyman for allowing his white daughter to marry a black man. Americans believe it would take more than such a mob to make freedom a wicked dream. In the course of his lecture Mr. Zangwill announce that Amer ica lacks the honor, justice, dignity and efficiency that exist in Eng land. “He discovers also that Americans lack humor, and have no shame, but on the whole they are amusing" and worth the price of admission. The Ku Klux Klan, he calls, “an exaggerated Hoy Scout movement.’’ He is advised, in friendly fashion, to confine him self to theorizing about that, re fraining frfom actual experiment. George B. Shaw predicts “world wide prohibition of strong alcohol ic spirits.” Such prohibition, classing whisky, gin, brandy and other alcoholic poisons with cocaine, morphine, etc., could be enforced and that would mean temperance, infinitely better than present day prohibition, which means bootleg whisky. If spirits could bo done away with, there would be no need to worjy about wine and beer, before spirits were first fnade, com mercially, two or three hundred years ago, the world had no serious alcoholic problem—although our ancestors drank, industriously. Correspondents report that Indiana is controlled, politically by the Ku Klux Klan with that control, already strong in Texus, Oklahoma and Arkansas now spreading into Ohio and other states. - Everything depends on how con trol is acquired. If through the ballot box, no one may complain “vox populi, suproma lex esto” holds good, whether you like the “vox” of the moment or not. Many believe that popular gov ernment should he conducted apart from any secret society or religious organization. But if secret society or religion can get the votes, that settles it. Those that don’t like it must get enough votes to change it. The 10ii4 candidates are going to be puszled, explaining their posi tions on the klan. You may notice their deep silence <fn that topic. World Peace Discussed at Meeting at Minden, Neb. Mlnden, Neb., Nov. 8.—The League of Women Voters, Desisted by the American I-eglon, the C. C. club and Other local organizations, held n. meet ing at the auditorium In the Interests of world pence. Judge M, It.

Saniler’s Relative in Minneapolis After Army Service and Roaming About World. Some Omahans are wrinkling their brows over all kinds ot real and imaginary troubles, but Robert H Snmlor's features are wreathed In a continual smile. And why shouldn't they be? For a brother who disap peared nine years ago has "come to life” from the realm where hope is lost, with a tale of hardships and ad ventures. Nine calendars have gone out of date since Lou Snmler left the scene of his boyhood adventures in Omaha and sallied forth to "look around a bit.” Since that time he has seen service in Alaska mines and as a member of the “Princess Pat” regi ment in France. In a letter Just received from Min neapolis, where he has settled with his wife, Blanche, he encloses the record of his wanderings from 1914 to 1923. When he left Omaha he went to Dos Moines. From there he traveled through North and South Dakota and In 1915 landed in Seattle, Wash. Went to Alaska. Soon afterward he went to the White Bear mines near Mosyoy, Alas ka. 200 miles beyond the timber line. Much of the trip was made behind a team of half-breed dogs, since the heavy snows rendered any other means of travel impossible. In January of the following year Samler returned to Seattle, after a series of travels through the timber lands and mining districts of western Canada. Thr$e months later he en listed In the army. His wife went as field nurse. “The same year we went across,” he writes. “We trained a short time in Brest and Rouen. And then to Paris. That is when I caught h—. We then advanced to the Marne, where I was gassed and lost my buddy. We fought hard and got to Metz, Germany. I was ‘all In.’ so they put me on the hospital list. Soon afterward the armistice was signed.’’ Willi Occupation Army. Samler was with the army of oc cupation for half a yeir before he re turned to New York and was given his discharge. Soon after he and his wife started on a tour of the east and south. I^sst spring they landed In Minneapolis. Robert Samler says his brother lost his address when he started wander ing. The two were reunited largely through the efforts of the Postofflce department. Police Officer K. A. Jelen was also Instrumental In bring ing them together onfce more. "I received your wedding picture," writes Lou to his brother. “I have looked at It many times and still I can’t believe It Is you. When I saw you, you were a little shrimp in knee pants and your hair all sunburnt, (and that cowlick on your forehead, and I can hardly think any other way. WTe are tickled that you and your wife are going to pay us a visit. Now don’t forget the road to Minne apolis. We've got plenty of them running in here and it doesn't mat ter which one you take as long as you get here. And Bob smiles and thinks of the day when they will see each other again. “And that's going to be right away,’’ he vowed yesterday. “I'm taking the Sunday train.” Robert Samler is employed by the Western Newspaper union. He lives at the Mt. Vernon apartments, 624 South Thirty-first street. Head of Defunct Bank Back From California 1 Piattsmouth, Neb., Nov. g.—Charles C. Parmele, former head of tho de funct Bank of Cass County, has re turned from California, where he has been working for a real estate firm. "I came back,” declared Mr. Parmele, "because I understood a grand Jury had been called to Investigate the Bank of Cass County, nnd I am ready to render any assistance I can In the Investigation.” Mr. Parmele says his home Is still In Piattsmouth, Frank Fox, Overseas Veteran, Head of Norfolk Legion J Norfolk, Neb.. Nov. 8.—Prank Pox, overseas veteran, wag elected com mander of the Norfolk American Le gion post for 1924, succeeding Guy Parish.

Omaha Basks in Indian Summer Three Degrees Above Freez ing, Lowest Mark Reaehed Here This Week. Omahans yesterday continued to en Joy another sample of the Indian Bum mer weather which I* in vogue all over the country, while M. V. Robins, official weather chief, turned over the maps and things to M. B. Stubbs and took a day off. Yesterday's temperatures continued to be “high and dry” althought slight ly lower than those of the day before. Ever since the mercury reached its peak of 63 degrees at 4 p. m. Monday It has been gradually decreasing. At 7 a. m. yesterday the temperature was 35 degrees. At noon it was an nounced at 48. Three hours later tho mercury stood at 61, where it re mained until 4 p. m. Etttle rainfall was reported through out the country. A few drops fell In New Mexico and western Texas. Bos ton, New York, Philadelphia. Pitts burgh and a few other eastern cities reported a light rainfall. At only one place did the king of winter bring out his white lead. That was at Buffalo, where Jupiter Pluvius opened the pro gram and then turned the scene over to Chief Snotvfnan. The wind yesterday blew from the east, varying occasionally from the northeast at the rate of three to five miles an hour. It is possible that Omaha may see some of the clouds which have been bursting over our eastern neighbors during the next week. That is, if the wind continues from the east, according to Mr. Stubbs. However, there should be no such change within the next day or two at least, he sayB. , “Fair and slightly warmer” is the forecast for today. Coolidge Is Busy on Message to Congress (Cnntlnurtl from Pare One.) a variation of this process. The president listened, hut he took con trol of the stream of what he lls tened to. The visitors discovered (hat Coolidge knew exactly what he wanted to find out from each man and was prepared with a list of questions in each case. According to the Transcript’s story, at the close of each day’s work the president has prepared careful memo randa of his information, which he has stored away in msnlla rnveiopen on his desk. Today, according to the Transcript's story, there are 14 of these envelopes, each devoted to a slnglo subject, from which the Infer ence would be the president will cover some 14 topics in his address to congress. Fiom the Information thus assem bled the president certainly within the next fortnight, and probably early the coining week, will deny himself to callers for two or three days, which he will devote to finally digesting the information and advice given him and to actually writing his address to congress. This will be a rather earlier preparation for the svi nt than has been common with presidents. The choion of so early a time to finish his address Is said to bo due to the president’s desire to have all the time ho needs during the follow ing two or three weeks before con gress ineeta to receive all the mem bers of the incoming congress who want to see hlip. In fact, according to the Tran script’s dispatch, If congress were lo assemble tomorrow, instead of four weeks hence, Coolidge would l>o pre pared to address and enunciate in i very particular the policies lie will pursue during the remaining months of his administration.
