Today Looks Like Coolidge, Avoid Short Selling. Kenyon—an American. Business Against ConfU cation. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Wherever the people express an opinion at the primaries, it looks very much like Coolidge for repub lican presidential candidate. The people evidently are convinced that Coolidge had noting whatever to do with Teapot Dome. Public opinion hits truth auto matically. You have been warned here about selling French francs short. If you took that advice you have saved money. They went up again yes terday violently, rising from 3.87, Tuesday’s close, to 4.19, yester day’s close. Be careful how you sell francs short and be careful how you buy European bonds. Invest your money in United States optimism and you will come out right in the end. Former Senator Kenyon of Iowa may be secretary of the navy. He is strong, a genuine American, hon est, able, thinks as an American, and would look upon the American navy as a distinctly American insti tution with no European attach ments. A man of open mind, able to real ize the (importanee of flying ma chines in modern war, he wouldn't be controlled by officers past 50 that hate to give up the flummery and comfort of the quarter deck. A high and learned court says that when the people try to force a gas company to sell gas for $1 a thousand feet that is confiscatory. What is it when the gas company makes the people pay $1.50 or $2 for gas? When the people pay too little, that is “confiscation.” When a corporation wants to grab too much, that’s just “legit imate business.” You have heard from the man that doesn’t want to pay income tax, the other man hates the inhe> itance tax, all the complainers. What do you think of Wesley Jor Man, 75 years old, farmer, just dead at Lancaster, O. His will, express ing gratitude for happiness and lib erty enjoyed under the stars and stripes, orders his executors to sell his property for cash. After pay ing his funeral expenses, all the rest—about $16.000—goes to the treasury of the United State*. The house of representatives has approved the plan to let Henry Ford develop Muscle Shoals. Peo ple in the south are celebrating with bonfires. Next will come action by the sen ate. Every farmer in the United States is interested in the proposi tion. Senators, thinking they can afford to vote against it because “it is a long time before election," will find that this particular thing Will not be forgotten. If you are an upstanding, red blooded, 100 per cent American, yt>u will have something to live for. Dempsey will fight Firpo again in New York on next Labor day. Of course, if Firpo is beaten by any body else in the meanwhile, such as Mr. Gibbons, white man from the northwest, or Mr. Wills, black man from the south, Mr. Dempsey would feel in honor bound to fight the winner. Nobody, it seems, feels particu larly anxious to fight Mr. Wills. The objection is not so much to the objectionable color of the skin as to the vicious character of his right and left fists—so the experts say. Have you friends that gambled in Sinclair Oil on "sure tips?” Tell them this. It wasn’t the Sinclair Oil com pany that got the navy oil lands. Mr. Sinclair got those leases, and formed a special company to hold them. The Sinclair Oil company didn’t have any interest in the naval reserves at all. Later on a one quarter interest irwthe naval re serves was sold to the Sinclair com pany, and that's all that company has got now. "Gentlemen that bought in haste to repent at leisure, will please no tice that a stock market gambling tip is usually dangerous and often ridiculous.

SI. convicted forger, who was brought back t<> the Douglas county jail from Den ver Wednesday, declared that he was In Omaha six weeks ago. County jail officers have been searching all over the country since* he escaped December IS, 1923. "I was brought here by a pertain newspaper man to make an affidavit regarding Jailor Joe Sherry," de clared Edwards. "He paid my way here and out again. I don't know his name but I’d know him if I saw him!” Edwards related freely his spec tacular career in Denver during his freedom, when he "bought" an In terest In the Mutual Motor cpmpany and made an inspiration speech to the company’s 30 employes. "Honesty Pays Big.” "I told them to use sincerity In deal ing with customers.” said Edwards. "Many automobile salesmen will promise anything to make a sale. That isn't right. Honesty In business pays big. "I put in a new system. Instead of having any salesman take on a pros pect, who came on the sales floor, I had one man of good personality as signed to greet ail visitors at the door. Then he turned them over in rotation to the salesmen who ex plained the cars. Keep New System J'When I was arrested the other officials called it an outrage. J’liev believed me innocent. But I ’told them the truth. I advised them, however, to keep the. new system I had Installed there during my week of connection with the firm. And they said they would.” Edwards said hs cannot account for his. crimes. "I get terrible pains in my head starting at the base of the neck and working to the temples and thru I know I am gone.” he said. "After they go away, I am tortured with remorse."

Shrine Charities j Aid Citizenship Imperial Potentate in Omaha Discusses Work of Order Among Less Fortunate. “The salvation of our republic lies In the grouping of a million under privileged boys Into clubs which will teach them the meaning of citizen ship In our flee Institutions am* acquaint them with the opportunities for the lad who conducts himself In an upright manner.” This statement was made by Con rad V. Dykeman of Brooklyn, Imper ial potentate of the Shrine in North America, who was in Omaha Thursday to inspect the worji of Tangier temple, and who spoke on the “Under privileged Boy" at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday noon. Conducting clubs in sections where yie largest number of less fortunate boys live, is a movement which is now growing, Dykeman said. "The Shrine is conducting the great est fraternal charity in the world,” he said. "It is spending tl,500,000 a year In maintenance of hospitals and building-new ones. "Four hospitals are now in opera tion in San Francisco, Portland, Shreveport and Minneapolis. On June 1 another hospital is ha dedicated at St. Louis, and four nlore are being constructed In Chicago.
