Today They re in the Water, in Empire Is a Business. 4 Short Peace Plan. Big Money Begins to See. By ARTHUR BRISBANE v--s Hiram Johnson and W. G. Mc Adoo decide that the water is fine, and they are in it, swimming for the world to see. Pinchot and La Follette were in ahead of them. Soon, undoubtedly, Henry Ford will approach the edge, tell what he thinks about political swim ming, plunge or go home. Other mysterious ones stand all along the bank. At least 1,000 Amer icans believe that they have a chance for president next time and are letting somebody spend money for them. Quite pathetic. The talk is all about foreign en tanglements and home taxes. Mc Adoo says he is opposed to “politi cal entanglements.” That will not suit his father-in-law but McAdoo knows voters. He was not asleep when, with 7,000,000 votes to spare, they decided against it last time. McAdoo is called “always lucky," which means that he has always worked. Europe is work ing for him just now. There may not be any league of nations by convention time next year. The franc drops to its lowest Soint “for all time,” and French onds dropped. You were warn ed of that here yesterday. The English pound drops. Brit ish labor intends to run the Brit ish empire. That frightens the biggest collections of pounds ster ling. It may frighten labor also, be fore it really undertakes the job. Running an empire requires train ing. You must not go at it like the man who didn’t know whether he could play the fiddle or not, be cause he had never tried. England ha3 probably the ablest leaders of union labor in the world, except a few in the United States. But they have not had the training in statesmanship possessed by ruling Englishmen, and it isn’t likely that the British, level-headed and cool in emergencies, will throw over the old set of captains. Mr. Bok offered $100,000 for a plan to bring peace to the vorld. Twenty-two thousand one hundred and sixty-five are applying for the money. The best “peace plan for Uncle Sam is quickly written Mind your own business and keep ready. ' Big capitalists, having eyes, be gin to see, and, having ears, be gin to hear. John D. Rockefeller, jr., with his father owning the biggest single fortune in the world, says bitterness and hatred be tween employers and employes are largely the fault of capital. He accuses big employers of having treated workmen as ma chines and adds that long hours are bad business. It’s a good sign for labor and especially for capital, when men that control hundreds of millions of dollars and hundreds of thou sands of workmen realize that their chief assets are those work men. Centuries ago, kings knowing that they depended on their soldiers, gave the soldiers fine uni forms, bands of music when thev marched, the right to loot con - quered cities, pensions when old. Contented soldiers meant a saf Wing. _ The so’di^rs of cnoital are those that work in iron mills, dig ditches, lav railroad tracks, sweat in the glne3 fapfariPS. To treat them as well as an'-ient kings treated their soldiers, or a great dp.al better, would be the best kind of an investment, for ‘‘big money," and big money is be ginning to find it out. Thin column, describing the rail road chain that runs from New York to St. Louis, Fort Worth, Kansas City, Chicago and back to New York, left out the joint train operated by the San Francisco lines from St. Louis to Venita, °kl. That stretch, from St. Louis to Venita, running through the beautiful, rugged Ozark mountains of Missouri, is as well managed a stretch of road as any in the country. Two gigantic dogs, a St. Bern ard and a German mastiff, patrol the league of nations building at Geneva at night. American mer chants, bankers and those that train police dogs, take notice. Let hank messengers lead on a chain one or two powerful well trained dogs Guns don’t frighten them. And they would frighten holdup men, interfering with their “get-away.” A couple of first-clnss dogs, left at night inside of shops, might also discourage those that smash plate gln^s windows. The French say “Great evils re quire great remedies.” A Great Dane or big police dog might be a partial remedy for our bandit troubles. Seventeen million automobiles are scat'cred over the surface of the earth. Fourteen million are in the United States, and the num ber ought to be 28,000,000. A home and a garage for every fam ily would be the right American idea.

Many Die in Clashes in Rhineland ■■ — '■ Peasants Fire on Separatists Who Occupy Two Towns— French Troops Pursue Attackers. By Associated Press. Dusseldorf, Nov. 18.—The separat ists continue to detach territory in the Rhineland from the German re public by proclamation and today they proclaimed a Rhineland republic at Schlfferstadt in the palatine and took over the administration of af fairs at Rockenhausen. But they are meeting with very considerable resistance. At Hlmberg in the district of Neu wied, a regular battle occurred yes terday between the separatists and peasants. The peasants were armed with rtvolvers and hand grenades and 15 separatists were killed and a number injured. One peasant was killed. Fighting was resumed this morn ing at Honnef and eight persons were killed and more than 60 wounded. A children's sanatorium at Neuwled was converted into a hospital for the care of the injured. At the request of the delegates of the allied high commission at Bonn a company of Infantry was sent to Honnef to restore order and disarm the populace. A thousand separatists were disarmed without resistance, but many of the anti-separatists Bed and a detachment was sent In pursuit. French drngoons have surrounded the woods where the anti-separatists took refuge, and are searching for them. The Bavarian palatinate govern ment, which was obliged to sur render Speyer, Its capital, to the separatists, has Installed Itself at Ludwlgshafen. At Cologne, systematic looting which has been going on for the last three days has extended to private houses. That the plundering is not entirely due to hunger Is demon started by the fact that china, glass and hardware stores have been ran sacked. Disciplined bands of looters under former officers have erected barri cades of casks, boxes and furniture In various sections to stand off the police and enable looting to proceed. A fire brigade demolished some of the barricades. The curfew has been again Imposed from 9 p. m. to 6 p. m. Lone Bandit Robs Oil Station Man W. J. Gordon, assistant manager of an oil station at Twenty-fourth and Nicholas streets, was held up by an unidentified man at the station Sat urday night and robbed of about $30 in change. Gordon told police the man came into the place and inquired the way to the Union station, and then flashed a revolver. He emptied the cash reg ister and then escaped, while pedes trlans were passing by. Judge Laughs at Report He W alked Back to Omaha Judge J. W.

He taught his father and the neighbors two lessons in the process. Lesson number one was in taking his sow out on clean ground and follow ing out the hog sanitition project of the agricultural extension service, Lincoln. As a result, his pigs were never bothered with worms or dis eases. Lesson number two was that he fed his pigs well, and although they took a lot of feed, they thanked him for it by growing into a litter that weighed 2,115 pounds when just six months old. Mr. Ohmstcde's pigs have done better this year than usual, he states, yet they do not average over 1C5 pounds and they are a month older than Eric's litter. They were left on the disease-infected ground of the old hog lots. “Alt my cows will go out on clean ground next time,” Mr. Ohmstede says. This record for the greatest pro duction of pork per litter In the county will entitle little Eric to a fine loving cup offered by a Guide Rock bank to encourage the boys their work. Six other boys had a good chance to win the cup but Eric had the most pigs in his litter and just as high an average as the others per Pig. Bribe Hint Exposed in Blackmail Plot Los Angeles, Cnl., Nov. 18.— Chargee that Herman L. Roth, New York and Log Angeles attorney, hinted bribery to the officers who arrested him for an alleged attempt to blackmail Barbara LaMarr, film actress, and Arthur H. Sawyer, her business manager, of J20.n'iO, were mads at the dist-ict attorney's office. Roth was at liberty today on $5,000 ball.

Staff Correspondent of the Omaha Bee Lincoln, Nov. It.—Nebraska's po litical mountain heaved and quivered last week and brought forth a mouse with a tag "Bryan for Senator Club" hung round Pa neck. All of which means that the governor's ardent sup porters aren’t going to wait until the Norris question Is finally sottled, even If C W. la. A "Bryan for Senator Club” It nothing new In the annals of Ne braska politics. The voters were treat ed to one some months ago, but It was giggled Into somnolence by skeptics who felt Its birth premature. Per haps the present organization Is slight ly forehanded as well, from the gov ernor's point of view, but he Isn't taking any active steps to suppress It. As a matter of fact he Journeyed to Its home at Grand Island Thursday to help open a hotel, but denies that he saw lte luminaries except In a casual way. A peculiar coincidence Is the fact that the governor hns become suffi ciently free to accept numerous speak Ing engagements, although several weeks ago he was hard pressed to find time to neeept nn Invitation to attend a governors' conference with President Coolldge. Nebraska linkers, operating under the bank guaranty law. who see the guaranty fund further deleted by the closing of the Atlas bank at N'ellgh, will find a my of hope In two su preme court decisions that deny ap plications which would have taken another $50,000 from the fund. Rome $3(1,000 Is saved liy the re versal of a decision which would have paid Custer county In full for Its deposits In ths Ansehno State bank. nnd an additional $15,000 will not leave the state to pay Iowa banks which hold certificates of deposit Is sued by the defunct State bank of Halsey. Governor Bryan, who hurried hack from Minnesota to clamber aboard the gasoline band wagon, has not uttered a chirp In the face of further reduc tions In the price of the precious fluid. The governor angled nliout until he got some credit for the first re duction. The second reduction, how ever, finds him without a word, de spite tho fnct that ho has more than once declared ho has gasoline peddlers backed up against a wall and crying for help. Why the governor passed up this chance to gather In fhe votes of the doubters Is a mystery. IGJBCHS I BEST \. » makmd wttK Ningarir MACARONI MACARONI I [_~ - 11 Judge Lindsey Urges Workhouse for County Jail Noted Denver Juvenile Court Jurist in Omaha Over Week-End Inspects Local Bastile. Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver, famous juvenile court jurist. In Omaha for the week end, visited the Drfuglas county Jail Saturday and commended the idea of a workhouse for county prisoners. “Of course the whole system of keeping men in Jail without work is wrong,” declared the noted Judge. “Every Jail ought to have factories or industr es to keep prisoners busy, just ns the state penitentiaries.’’ Judge Lindsey is at present on a lecture tour, telling his audiences "Why Kids Lie." He spends his spare moments visiting city and county Jails and studying methods of handling crlin.nals. "The Douglas county Jail Is more free from the usual Jail odor than most Jails I have visited," declared the judge. Judge Lindsay's pet rem edy for Jail evils Is not to Incarcerate prisoners, but to place all but the ex [ tremely hardened ones on problems un til they have proved their intentions of going straight or have betrayed the trust placed in them. “The girl who steals $150 from the department store should be ordered by the court to pay back the money rather than be branded eternally,as a thief." declared Judge Lindsey. The Denver Jurist evaded discussing his latest friction with county author ities at his home city over Ms re fusal to divulge confidential Informa tion given him by women concern ing alleged Illegal operations. Ho talked frankly of birth control, however, declaring that every child : orn into this world has a right to e here, and when children are born they should receive every possible ild for proper development.
