Bonus Policies Derided By MARK SlT.fyV'AN. Washington, D. C., Nov^29.—Wash ington's reception of Hiram Johnson's keynote speech is a curious com pound of kindliness and criticism. That he limited himself to co-operative selling ns the available remedy for the wheat farmers is taken as proof of his essential conservatism ns proof, also, of his unwillingness to hold out impossible quack remedies to the r farmers as a lure to get their votes. Practically all the financial and agrl "culture experts here who have look ed into the wheat farmer’s condition have concluded that co-operative sell ing is about the only practicable thing that can Tie done, and this Is probably the only remedy that will be attempt ed wifh the backing of the administra tion, except possibly, for the purchase of some wheat by the government for purposes of charity in Kurope. They admit that co-operative selling will not help the wheat farmer a great deal. Some politicians, unwilling to mako this admission, have been hqlding out to the farmer hopes of government purchase of the entire export surplus and other impossible devices which are unlikely ever to be attempted seriously. That Johnson should have refrained from putting himself into this class of politicians Is generally commended. I'rges Frankness With Europe. As regards Johnson’s utterances on foreign relations, two things are said: One Is that his revival of the league of nations Issue Is like taking up a dead and burled corpse and kicking 'it around in public. The ‘Trreconcil ables," who were formerly Johnson's associates and backers, have no * sympathy with this action and are, in fact, generally opposed to his pres ent candidacy. At the same time, the following two sentences in Johnson's reference to foreign affairs called out some approval: “I protest against an American policy which does not know what It is and wfhich seeks to ^p^kliscover Itself, or to hide itself, but first going into a conference with Ku rope. If an administration does not like the existing situation abroad, why not say so.” There is a good deal of sentiment In Washington, both irreconcilable and otherwise, which thinks that Coolldge and Hughes ought to be more explicit both with the American public and with Kurope. They think that on this subject the administration expresses itself too much through indirect inspired hints and too little in direct public un uuivocal statements of policy. They say. for example, that if the adminis tration did not approve of the French going into the Huhr, it ought to have e- said so at the time. * It is occasionally said, probably with more malice than accuracy, that Hughes suffered a case of intellectual shell shock in the war over the league of nations, which Inhibits him, In this field, from Uie direct forthrightness which in other fields is one of his areat assets. Receives Some Derision. To some degree, the explanation of the administration’s relative silence about Europe lies In a kind of slogan that has become current both In Washington and among our repre sentatives In Eurbpe. It is to the * feet that there are only three things America can give Europe, namely, money, soldiers and advice. 8lnce we ere unwilling to send money or sol diers. the slogan is that we ought to stop giving advice. To this the critics »l. reply that direct, unefliilvocal etate. ^nients of American policy can be taken as advice by Europe or can be ignored. They think tb* administra tion ought to disregard Europe’s sensibilities about receiving advice • and ought to lay down, for the benefit of the world, whatever principles and whatever course the United States believes. To this extent there Is some sympathetic support for Johnson’s ut terances in this Meld. Whenever any candidate says, as Johnson does, that we can have both the bonus and the tax reduction, the universal comment of Washington is k* 4 ♦ Candidate for Seat in English Commons I T/3^y'IrJglag Cucxci'ly ***■ Lady Irene Cnrzon, daughter of Lord Cnrzon, British foreign minister, is campaigning for a seat in the house of commons as ail independent. Lady Irene was btjrn in 1896, her mother being the late Mary Victoria Leiter, daughter of Chicago’s famous wheat plunge* . .... ... - .... i. , ■ , --—-— in tones of derision. They say that this is only possible by quibbling with words, and always accept this position when taken by a candidate as an ef fort to ride two horses going in op posite directions. Speech Hurriedly Prepared. The text of Johnson's speech, as printed in the local Washington pa pers, contained a precautionary sen tence from him to the effect that it must not be regarded as a platform. This is Interpreted as meaning that Johnson is a little less courageous than l^b might be in laying down his policies in his first keynote speech. Tliey think that Johnson wants to wait until Coolidge makes his address to congress next week, and keep him self in a position to take positions con trary to Coolidge on the points of that address which he might not oth erwise take. Coolidge's friends pre dict with great confidence that his address to congress, unlike Johnson’s speech, will compose a complete ex position of *ils attitude on public ques tions. Whatever the motive, or what ever the conditions that led Johnson to take this precaution, it was an un fortunate thing for him to say. It leads the critical to say instantly that Johnson is going to try to get on whatever side of every issue coming up that will furnish the most votes. As against this criticism^ It Is pos sible that Johnson's failure to be complete In his speech was due to his failure to be as forehanded in the writing of it as public men generally are with speeches of such Importance. Ordinarily such statements are writ ten with great care and completed sufficiently long In advance to send out advance copies to the papers all over the country. In this case John son had not '■completed his speech when he left Washington on Sunday afternoon, and worked on It on the train. f Judge George Day Here for Reunior Judge George A. Day of the Ne braska supreme court observed hi* annual Thanksgiving day custom by coming to Omaha Thursday morning to meet his brother, Curtis L. Day, of Bender, Neb. The Judge and tys wife, with Mr. and Mr*. Curtis Day, mode up a party which dined at the Bran •lei* restaurant*. "I am thankful berause I am a citizen of Nebraska," Judge Day said. “1 believe that all of us should tie thankful we live in Nebraska, and we should be proud of our state. We should strive to make Nebraska a better state In citizenship and In every constructive way." j One-Man Vaudeville Is Making Hit in New York Varieties ■ Joe Cook, the humorist, who ap peared in vaudeville In Omaha last season, In a oni man__jaudeville show, is making a hit In Kart Carroll’s ‘‘Vanities" In New York, according to reports.

When pistrict Judge Begley called the grand jury recently, he disquali fied Cole from prosecuting before It and appointed D. O. Dyer, special prosecutor.

Five years of prison ljfe appeared to have left no trace on the counten ance of the former spy, for he was robust and ruddy and looked 23 rather than 30 years old. “I’m glad to be going home to my family—or what is left of It,” he said. "I’ll have to find a Job first thing. The only trade I have Is that of engineer, which I learned nt Leavenworth.” He was a naval captain before be catne here for his government at the outset of the war. After having been sentenced to death—the war time penalty for spies—Witzke obtained a commutlon to life imprisonment, and then eight days ago, the president pardoned him on the condition that he le{»ve the country. Just before the Ballin sailed AVItzke was transfered from third class—de portees' fare—to a eecond class cab in, the German government having forwarded the passage money. Nineteen Russian and Turkish de portees and a half dozen returning stowaways from a half dozen coun tries also sailed on the Ballin. Slain Man Was Defending Honor of Home; Theory Newkirk’s Death Followed Struggle With Companion of Wife, Prosecutor De clares Trial. Beaver City, Neb., Nov. 29.—Coun ty Attorney R. M. Hemphill of Norton, Ivan., advanced the theory in present ing his case against Woody L. Turner and Mrs. Myrtle Newkirk, of Leonora. Kan., both of whom were held to dis trict court yesterday at Norton In con nection with the death of Mrs. New kirk's husband. John, that Turner shot Newkirk when the latter attacked Turner because of hia alleged relations with Mrs. Newkirk. Newkirk's Rkeleton was found In Ne braska near Beaver City, a short dis tance from the Kansas border line, some time ago following his disappear ance from his home in Leonora. His son, John Newkirk, Jr., testified his father had slept in a garage for many months previous to his disappearance and that his father Rnd mother had quarreled, but that he did not know the reason for their difficulties. County Attorney Hemphill's theory, he-told the court, was that Newkirk's body was secreted In a deserted lum ber yard until the night following the alleged crime when Turner and Mrs. Newkirk went to the garage where Newkirk formerly slept, gathered up an old rug and gome other wearing materials and wrapped the body In them. Both Mrs. Newkirk and Turner were committed to Jail In default of bond. Car Hits Motorcycle H. A. Burnett..
