Today When Teapots Boil. Easy to Get, Hard to Keep. Ford, Not Interesting. If Qaupherty Talked. . By ARTHUR BRISBANE V__y How many one little oil teapot can scald. Republicans agree that Speaker Machold of the New York assembly will be their next candi date for governor. A few weeks ago Theodore Roosevelt II had his stepping stone nomination in the hollow of his hand and no one dreamed it could be taken away from him. But the teapot bubbled over. Yoiing Mr. Roosevelt is not even mentioned as a candidate. Almost anybody can make money, few can keep it. Mr. “Bill” Bradley, New York contractor, dies, leaving only $500. That is $500 more than he had originally. He drove a horse for another man, then bought one horse and drove for himself. Then he bought many horses, all gray Percherons. Next—and that was the bad idea—he bought horses of a different type, not gray Percherons, to use on race tracks, and for fast driving. He built a great part of New York’s subways, dealt in millions, he died poor. While you are making it, learn to save it. The house at last will take up Henry Ford’s Muscle Shoals offer. It seems herd to get anything mov ing when no gentleman “on the in side” is to get any money in a satchel or any “loan” from a friend. Ford offers millions to the gov ernment, cheap fertilizer to the farmer and, most important, demon stration of the use that can be made of waterpower. But that isn’t enough to interest gentlemen ac customed to “private talks,” “private codes,” and “private finan cial arrangements.” Attorney General Daugherty de clares that “if some senators do not resign,” he, Daugherty, will cause some splash. Mr. Daugherty knows the dif ■ fcrence between a “splash” and a little ripple. The public will watch for the splash with interest. The attorney general could reveal more about the real character of certain officials than half a dozen oil in vestigations. He knows what sena tors and others are trying to do, whom they are trying to shield, and whom they seek to prosecute. Publication of Mr. Daugherty’s private information would cause a “splash” indeed. Cardinal O’Connell of Boston praises Italy’s prosperity, energy, ardor, industry and cleanliness un der Mussolini. There is no doubt that Italy’s man with the iron jaw, and will, has worked wonders. On the other hand, Mussolini has put Italy in a sort of mental straightjacket, of which he is the master. A child in a straightjacket will do just as you say, but it will not develop so well. Is it better for a nation to stumble, fall, struggle and slowly rise, through its own effort, or to find for the time being, improve ment,'peace and prosperity under the will of one man? lHussia and Italy are both trying the same experiment, at opposite ends of the social theory. Men still do not know whether they are better off under self-government or one-man government. Even here our grafting, tax evading corpora tions and Teapot Dome!? cause some uncertainty. Forty members of the house of representatives sign a demand for modification of the Volstead act. They would allow “beer and wine with 2.75 per cent alcohol.” As regards the wine, that, of course, is nonsense since 2.75 per cent alcohol will not preserve wine. Nat ural wine, white or red, with 8 per cent of alcohol, would be about the minimum. As regards beer, 2.75 per cent alcohol might do away with 75 per cent of the bootlegging and 90 per cent of dissatisfaction among work ing men who don’t like the idea of taking their choice between soda pop and the vilest of bootleg liquor, while the prosperous class have cellars filled with everything they choose to buy. Senator Heflin, democrat, wants Col. William Royce Thompson to tell the oil inquiry about the money that Thompson raised for the re publican party in the Harding cam paign. Thompson won’t object hut might say, as the cowboy did when offered ox-tail roup, “That’s going a long way back for soup.” Thompson did find money for the Harding campaign, sat in his office all through the summor, working for Harding and that was all he got out of it. Others were the “fair-haired boyB” when it came to showing gratitude. A1 Smith, governor of New York, will withdraw from the presidential primaries in Illinois. This doesn't mean that he lyis withdrawn from the race. Mr. Smith’s supporters, men that see far ahead and are patient, evidently holieve that it iR best to bring Mr. Smith before the convention without running the risk of any preliminary setback or un pleasant discussion. f Copyright, 1024.)

I.Incoln, March 2.—Unless demo cratic leaders Intend springing a sur prise on Trenmore Cone—and there Is no apparent reason for their so doing—by filing a candidate for the senate at the 11th hour, the demo cratic nomination Is going to him by default. One by one the available candidates have dropped by the wayside. Bryan la standing for re-election; ao la More head; Judge Morrissey merely smiles when asked If he will be a candidate; John Norton continues to deny that that he will make the race. Some one may appear, even et this late hour when only five and a half days remain in which to file, but It la rapidly becoming Improbable. The truth of the matter is that every democrat with senatorial lean ings entertlns such a wholesome despeet for the republicans In the held that he has no desire to offer himself as a chopping block. Cone Is tho only exception. He believes that Norris will he the republican nomi nee, and he Is convinced that he can defeat Norris. To use his own statement, made after an extended visit to Washing ton, “If they (referring to the demo cratic leaders) will only let me alone, I'll take care of Norris.’’ Tho event of the week was the fll Ing of Charles Draff as an opponent to Bryan. And tho fight between him and Bryan will be one of tho events of tho primary campaign. There la something more In It than the desire of two men to get one nomination. Draff was a stout supporter of Bryan. Many of Ills friends who are vigorously backing him were equally loyal In their praise end assistance nf the governor. All that ha* changed. Hryan has served half of hts term and ia found wanting. They want no more of blm and they will have no more of him If a vigorous campaign can gain their end. One of the amusing announremenla of the week was that of Bryan that an elTort had been made to get wom en candidates ns delegates to the national convention. “We have even held the fourth place among the delegates nt large open for them." the governor da elared. Although there are several candidates for alternate among the women of the party, none has filed for delegate, and the fourth place among the delegates at largo will be taken by Han Stephens of Fremont The governor naively explains that the women of the party cannot ae commodate their plans ns readily as men and therefore are not ns eager In their flesh's to cast a ballot for the favorite son at New York. As a matter nf fart, tho democratic nai tonal commit lee recommended the selection of .12 delegate* to tho con vention, composed eipially of men and women and each with a one half vote. The governor has evaded this reeom mendatlnn on the ground that It Is not permissible under the statutes llow ever, the statute has been liberally Interpreted to provide for the election of national commltteewomen and the governor Is ((Implying hiding behind one of Hie familiar stinWmen of his own erection.

Small Wheat Acreage Indicated in Madison Norfolk, Neb., March 5.—The heavy snow of Saturday covered the land In north Nebraska from eight lnchesi to a foot In depth.

Goes Further and therefore Cheaper/ Illinois Central System Is Encouraged to See Business Men Stand Up for Railroads The Illinois Central System is pleased to note the unanimity with which the business men of the country are rallying to the defense of the nation’s system of railway transportation. Typical of this authoritative and unbiased support of sound public policy is the following extract from a resolution adopted January 29, 1924, by the New Orleans Association of Commerce and sent to the United States senators and representatives in Congress from Louisiana: In the opinion of the New Orleans Association of Commerce it is unwise and unnecessary for Congress at this time to undertake by direct action to re duce substantially the revenues of the railroads—because of these among other considerations: “The Interstate Commerce Commission, an impartial governmental body, already has full power to fix what shall be considered a fair return to the rail roads upon the value of their property, to fix this value and to fix all railway rates, and it is equipped to make such adjustments in rates as may be proper. “ 1 he Transportation Act, whose definite policy of rate-making revived con fidence in railway securities, has enabled the railroads to borrow more readily sums of private capital for improvements in both equipment and roadway. These have made possible the recent record-breaking achievements of the railroads in service and are responsible in great meassure for the country's increased business. "To reverse our railway policy now would be to frighten off capital, stop improvements, unsettle business conditions and work a public injury with no corresponding benefit, since, as stated, the public is already protected by the laws which give the Interstate Commerce Commission full control of this subject.” The more that the public in general realizes its direct and indirect financial interest in a settled, forward-looking policy of railway regulation, the nearer will this country come to having a railway plant that will expand and increase its efficiency in keeping with the development of the country. We cannot af ford to stand still, much less go backward, in our treatment of the railroads. It is encouraging to note how business men and tin country in general are show ing increased interest in railway affairs. Since both efficient railway service and the great investment in this and other railroads are at stake, we believe Uiat our patrons would fool that we were neglectful of our duty if we did not seek in every proper way to enlist public interest in the future of the railroads. For this reason we quote and in dorse the resolution sponsored by the New Orleans Association of Commerce. Constructive criticism ami suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKHAM.
