Today Ttvo Long Flights. W hat Men Deserve. Napoleon s Death Shirt. By ARTHUR BRISBANE Three army men started on a flight around the world Monday. Good luck go with them. Good courage goes surely. About the same time a well-dressed man, un known, jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City—another very different “flight.” Mr. Garvey, who wears as fine robes as any English lord chancel lor and intends to lead the colored people to liberty and a republic in Siberia, says to his followers: “You are entitled to anything that anybody else has.” That isn’t quite true. Each man is entitled to what he can achieve. White people have fought and been killed for many thousands of years in the process of getting what they have now. But all people, and especially the negro race, brought to this country by slave traders against their will, are entitled to justice and full op portunity. And that is ail that is demanded by intelligent men and women, both black and white. The shirt that Napoleon wore when he died—of ulcers in the stomach and bitter disappointment —will be sold at auction by the descendants of Archambault, Na poleon’s servant. With it will go a piece of his coffin and the glass from which he drank last. That trash isn't worth a cent. But who will write a book, making it clear that Napoleon ruined his health and lost the energy for lack of which he dilly-dallied in Rus sia, and was beaten in Waterloo i because he prided on eating too fast and sleeping only four hours. That book might be worth millions to some of America’s useful build ers that live as foolishly as Na poleon did. - I The house of representatives will psas a bill giving twenty-one hun dred dollars as bonus, to the sol-i diers that lost their jobB, and their j chances at high wages during the ; war. As a consequence many, very rich, that shed glorious patriotic tears and said nothing was too good for the dear soldiers, while the war was on, and the profiteering was good, are now shedding bitter tears of rage at the thought of pity ing taxes. What does the amount involved amount to—less than $20 for every man, women and children in the United States. If the taxes on the really great incomes were really paid, instead of being evaded, in various ways, the government could pay such a bonus every year and not feel it. In any case distribution of money among those that will quickly spend it, because they need, and must spend it, will render great service to the entire nation. It will do for business and prosperity, what irri gation does for fields that lack v, r.ter. Don’t forget what happened in Kr.gland when a pension was voted to old people. At first, British capitalists said they would leave, taking their mon ey to the continent. But the distri bution of money stimulated employ ment, and prosperity, to an extent that England had not seen before. The capitalist changed his mind and stayed at home. The distribution of the soldiers’ bonus will have the same effect here. (CooyrlKht. 1824 > Rome Welcomes U. S. Prelates By Associated fnu, Rome, March 18.—Rome extended ! a royal welcome In spirit to Archblsh- ' jp Hayes of New York and Arch bishop Mundelein of Chicago, who arrived here today from Paris.

Omaha’s annual business has increased sevenfold in the last 20 years—from 395 million to more than 2 billion dollars. As Omaha and Nebraska grow, more and more local and long distance telephone service is required. To keep pace with this growth, about three-fourths of a million dollars must be spent each year for new tele phone equipment in this state. In order to provide for the growing demands for telephone service, vast sums of money must be obtained constantly from investors. Nearly half a million people already are financially interested in the business. We shall be pleased to have you. also, as an investor. Any telephone employee will gladly give you full information about Bell stock or bonds, or telephone our Manager, JA ckson 2765. As Omaha prospers, the telephone is successful. Therefore, we constantly strive to provide reliable telephone service at the lowest possible charges consistent with C reasonable wage* to employees and a fair return on the money invested lit the business.
