Today Who'll Get the Radi , cals? The Bolsheviki Will Get You. I Cling to Wall Street, Mr. Borg. Presidency Her editor ay. ; By ARTHUR BRISBANE . t How many intelligent, progres sive radicals are there? That question Hiram Johnson and Mr. McAdoo are, perhaps, asking. Mr. , ford’s announcement that he is (br Coolidge settles one big politi <fel question. The road is clear tor a two-man race. ; A' .. “Ford will take hi* admirers, farmers especially, ty Coolidge,” toy republicans. “/laybe not,” &y democrats. “Radicals were for Ford, crowds of them. They will not be delivered to Coolidge, 4. calm New England conserva tive. The radicals will go to Mc Adoo, or Johnson.” If Lloyds is sued presidential insurance, per Sips they do—they would probably sue preferred rates on Coolidge, IfUt nothing i3 settled. Secretary Hughes annoys some senators, and amuses the coun ty. as a whole, with his gruesome announcement that Russian bolsheviks plan to fly the red flag from the White House. That Senator Borah, or any other, should take it seriously \ and get tfngry, seems waste of energy. It’s ^pother version of “the goblins will get you, if you don’t watch <»Ut.” Of 110,000,000 Americans, 90 per cent are the most conserva tive people in the world. Those that have property mean to keep it. Those that have little or none now, mean to get it later. The strangely hmusing thing is that Bfr. Hughes should allow such a confession of childish fear to leave Kis office. 'ta <-The English have haunted houses, but they don’t really be lieve in ghosts, and as soon as Jfeldwin goes out, they will com plete details for recognizing the Russian government. They don’t igk Russia, "Are you scheming to f§r your red flag on Buckingham pjilace?” They do ask, “Have you ^iything to sell that we should like to buy. Are you able to buy gfeods from us and put our idle men to work?” The British have statesmen, educated men, running their government. No wonder thejr ace amused by us. <P r -Mr. Borg, with $2,000,000 made in Wall street, says, “1 have all the money I want. My employee i$*y have my Wall street business, loam going to run a newspaper, rtn not a newspaper man but I i hive ideas as to how a newspaper should be run.” Poor Mr. Borg will miss that Wall street broker age office, when he begins getting ■ bills for his newspaper. If it gees the wrong way, as it generally (fees with an amateur, he will find 38,000,000 about as useful as two ham sandwiches would be on a walking tour around the world. W _j_ {•‘Venizelos favors a hereditary presidency for Greece, instead of a- monarchy. What’s the differ ence, if the president’s son inherits t&e presidency? If our presidency wwre hereditary our presidents would have more power than any European king. They have that pjtwer now, Mr. Wilson, for in stance, used it in the war. An pfection every four years, and, the dgsire for a second term, keep our presidents careful. - /.Conditions are better than they \^re, even for kings. In Crom well's and Danton’s day, their Iliads were cut off. The Greek kjhg goes away, with a pension of $28,000 a year for life, $18,000 cfish being paid on his leaving. TJie Greeks will have to pick and dyy many currants to pay for that. ‘French money was very weak yesterday. The government went into the market, to keep up the ppce. Conditions have changed ia.Europe, to the disadvantage of those that planned a continental dictatorship for France. At lenst financiers think so, and they es tablish the value of exchange. 'The pope is striving through negotiations with France and Ger many to establish peace and friend ship in the Ruhr. Much has been accomplished in that direction by the British election. . Poincare knows that Lloyd George and Brit ish labor—Lloyd George especially -Jwill talk plainly when the time copies. The protest of Italy against the occupation of the Ruhr and the establishment of any Ppench dominion of German soil as a violation of the Versailles t(Saty will have its effect. * (Copyright.

It's pretty tough for a family of mother and six children who exist In a hovel in the outskirts of the city. Alexina, the oldest who is 9, cable to school the other day In shoes that had practically no soles. She had pathetically tried to sew soles on them. Her teacher accompanied Alexina home that afternoon and found the other five little ones, two of them ill from exposure. The mother, a heroic soul, was washing, trying thus to get enough money for food. The children w-ill be provided with shoes as soon as they are “reached” in the waiting list of the Free Shoe fund. “Above all things else." says a let ter from the Kiwanis club of Omaha, “the Kiwanis clubs of the country are striving to see that the neglected and underprivileged children are given a fair chance in the world." If you can assist, send your con tribution at once, for the need Is great. Every crnt goes to buy shoes for such needy little ones. Investiga tions are made by teachers without cost to the fund. Checks should be made payable to “Free Shoe Fund” and checks or cash sent or brought to The Omaha Bee loffice, Seventeenth and Farnam streets, Omaha. Heretofore Rrknowdrldsed .15X4.OS Airnex M.
