Today Your Ears, Please. More Gold—Let It Come. That Poor Caliph. The 19-Pound Baby. By ARTHUR BRISBANE s-y There is plenty of news today, friends, Romans, countrymen, so please lend your ears. La Follette’s friends will put him at the head of a third presidential ticket. He is willing and a little more. That’s the latest politics. What would happen with La Fol lette running as an independent re publican against Coolidge as the regular republican? The situation would find some of our “best minds” with the dollar mark in front of the mind, eagerly looking for a “safe” democrat, to whom they might transfer their af fection from the republican party. It’s to be a mixed campaign. You hear a great deal about Ralston as a democratic candidate, and much about Copeland. If A1 Smith should get the nomination it would puzzle the financial “best minds” not that those financial big minds object to A1 Smith or have any religious prejudice. On the contrary, they would grapple him to their souls with hoops of steel. Only they are afraid he would not stay grappled. His nomination would be an experi ment. Millions more in gold came to this country yesterday, sent to Mr. Mitchell's National City bank in New York. The more the merrier. It ia suggested when we get all the gold Europe will demonetize gold and try something else. You may dethrone the caliph of all the Mos lems, but you can’t dethrone old King Gold. The Mohammedans of India, by the way, are very much worked up about that caliph and want a new one in his place. Your jungle savage, banging his head on the ground before a wood en idol with green teeth, purple eyes and a pink nose, insists on bis idol. Take it away and he loses faith. Mohammedans insist on having somebody here to represent Allah and Mohammed. They will make trouble for Rental Pasha. Meanwhile the kickedout caliph has sadly set out for Switzerland, taking only two wives and one son. He couldn’t come here, because only one wife could pass our virtuous frontier. You couldn’t reasonably ask a caliph to drop down from many wives and 800 concubines to one single wife. What if she got a cold or broke a leg? Housewives for miles around flock to Newton, N. J., to see Mrs. William Henion’s "littla boy,” just born and weighing 19 pounds. Such a bay is interesting, out you ask j ourself, why does Providence send a 19-pound baby to a human mother weighing 130 pounds and a 19 ounce baby to a female bear weigh ing 300 pound*? There’* a good reason, of eoune, but who can un derstand it? H. G. Wells tells school teachers -“she and retiring souls,” ha calls them—to buck up, be arrogant and take hold of the world. He says teachers alone can im prove life. That’s true, and that is what they have been doing ever -ince teaching began. If teachers, from Socrates, Aris totle and Plato, to the young wom an that teaches your little boy in the public school, hadn’t “taken hold of the world,” civilization wouldn't be where it is now. And, by the way, if the Catholic church had not established great univer sities in the "middle ages, science wouldn’t be where it ia now.” Hugh A. D’Arcy, who wrote that -ad poem, “The Face on the Bar 100m Floor,” celebrated his 81st birthday yesterday. Perhaps you know the poem. Anyhow, it’s too ad to print here. It will surprise you to learn that Mr. D’Arcy doesn’t believe in prohibition. He -ays: “I have been drinking moder ately ever since I was 20 years old.” That makes 61 years, and he says prohibition has made more hard drinkers than there ever was before. He thinks there is what the French call a “juste milieu” between falling dead on the barroom floor and trying to invite your soul by drinking soda pop. Notice to American shoemakers: Your German brothers have an idea. They make shoes with uppers of platted leather strips. That makea tighter lacing possible and makes thick ankles look thinner. There is profit in such shoes, al though women are foolish to hate thick ankles, as they do. The great Bertha, whose name appears in Villon’s poem about ■‘The Snows of Yesteryear,” had very thin ankles and being the but she was the mother of Charle magne. That’s better than having very thin ankles and being the mother of a lounge lizard. How long will it take bankers to understand that more automobiles means not extravagance, but moro efficiency, more health, more sav ing of time, higher production at less cost, longer life? Every dollar that bankers put in to automobile production Is a dollar invested In greater prosperity and greater happiness. Isn’t thata good Investment? Bankers wouldn't Worry if they found cornfields producing more corn. Why worry because automo bile factories are producing more automobiles? (Copyright, Reed for President. Lincoln.

Nine business men of Wilber, Neb., were named Thursday In a federal complaint charging vlolatlpns of the United States lottery law np the first move on the part of United States District Attorney J. C. Kinsler to suppress raffles and lotteries In Ne braska. Those named In the complaint are: Gerald A. Greer, Frank Kacl, Charles Posplsll, Rudolph B. Stastny, Edward N. Houser, Adolph Shlmonek, Harry F. Magnusson, Vaclav Novak and An ton Novak. All are business men of W'llber. They are accused of engag ing In an alleged lottery that has been an annual affair for several years. “It Just happened to be Wilber that we selected first,” Kinsler said. “Wilber Is no worse than Omaha. Every day there are schemes Insti tuted here In opposition to the statute. Of course where something Is raffled and not advertised there Is no viola tion of the federal law. But almost every time there Is such a rathe It goes through the mall in some way.” The scheme used in Wilber was de vised to promote business. Eight prizes were purchased, one to be given away each week for eight weeks. Taking advnntage of the publicity given the new Nebraska Dairy associ ation recently, the chief prize was a Holstein cow. Another prize was an electric sowing machine. The tickets for the raffle were de livered to the banks of the city. The merchants went to the bank and pur chased the tickets for 1 cent each. These tickets were then given to customers with each purchase. The merchants had handbills printed and these were sent through the mails to every resident of Saline county. The nine men will be arraigned In Lincoln In a short time, Kinsler said. The complaint will be given the negt federal grand Jury and indictment against all of the merchants asked.
