Today IT lint IT ill LaF ollelte K Do? A Prince Brings Lions. We Wish; Hojie; Foresee. Steaks From a Live Cow. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ What will La Follette do about a third parly? To that big politi cal question an answer may come this week. La Follette is honest, powerful, afraid of no man, as issue or com bination. He has many enemies, and may be proud of them all. He would get many votes, carry everal states, and in others give victory to the democrats, by taking votes from Coolidge. La Follette took the lid off of the Teapot Dome. His forceful ■ peach in the senate, proved by geologists that ‘the flimsy excuse for corrupt, leasing would not hold. That, forced the investigation. Will La Follette repeat Roose velt's performance and defeat his own party? Or will he continue working inside the party, as a fight ing senator? Wisconsin will re elect him, of course, on any ticket, ns long as he lives. Rut his health, weakened by long fighting for political honesty, com plicates the question. Ten years more of La Follette in the senate would do more for the public than a campaign of pro test now. La Follette could not possibly be ^nrlected. Roosevelt’s attempt, which ^ put, Woodrow Wilson in the White House, proved that. La Follette might, and probably could, defeat Coolidge, a republican whom he does not like. At the same, time he would elect some democrat that he might like even less. ' The fighting, honest senator from Wisconsin must be thinking hard today. The aged genius and socialist, Anatole France, most widely praised, if not the greatest living writer, rejoices in the French elec tion that overthrew Poincare. Socialism will now dictate the policy of France, ns it dictates that of Germany, and various other Eu ropean nations. You see much of its progress and strength reflected in these words of old Anatole France, concerning the socialist victory: » “I wish, I hope, I foresee, a fu ture of peace and concord,” etc. We wish, we hope, the eyes of hope we foresee, and hope gives us courage that makes the “impossi ble” of yesterday the reality of to day. More important to France than hoping, wishing or foreseeing, is the question, “What Will extreme socialists do, now that they have power?” You know that in Europe socialism is not looked upon as it is here, where the average man considers it an unimportant, dis ^satisfied, microscopic minority, •••socialists constitute the most highly educated, well organized body of Germans. Socialists in France are thinkers, influential, highly edu cated, scientific men. They repre sent intellectual power in France, as in many other countries. The main hope of capital and conservatism is in dividing the enemy. Socialists, like laborites, quarrel among themselves invari ably. Conservatism, representing organ ized capital, keeps peace in its ranks, its motto, “United we stand, divided we fall, and we don’t intend to fall.” French socialists plan to make all railroads public property, cut com pulsory service in the army to six months and through a "capita! levy” cut a substantial slice from the fortune of every rich man. The latter plan will cause most worry in conservative ranks, and it should worry all classes. In this industrial age the word “capital” is simply another word for unusual ability and cunning. Power is shown in great fortunes today, and as it is used to show in conquering armies, when Alexander and Caesar were the great men.

A city cannot bn built by men alone.) When we are in quest of informa tion concerning books, when he wish to learn the last word on the “best sellers,'’ we go to Edith Tobitt, the first “book-lady” of Omaha. A noted economist, identified for many years with the University of Wisconsin, stated that persons occu pied in the useful pursuits are pro ducers, although their products may not be as tangible as the output of a factory. Miss Tobitt has been a pro ducer in Omaha for many yearrf, be cause she has been contributing to the development of better citizenship. She believes that lives sre influ enced by people met and books read. | She encourages the reading of books and other publications. She discour ages unworthy literature. Her life Is in the public library. As an informant on books Miss Tobitt Is recognized not only in Omaha but in the middle west. She entered the Omaha library In 1887, was sppointed assistant librarian In 1897 and librarian in 1898. Since she began her work here she. has spent two years in travel and study. When she began her work the library was located on the second and third floors of a building on Douglas street, near Fifteenth street. ■.v/X..’.v a;';'../;v:.7.axc**:v.v.v,’«v The library is now serving 38,000 registered borrowers at the main build ing on Harney street, and 16,000 ad ditional borrowers are served through schools, hospitals, factoriea, play grounds and other centers. These book borrowers read approximately 600.000 books a year. Miss Tobltt directs the administra tion of branch libraries at South Omaha. Twenty-fifth street. and Ames avenue. Florence, and Rnson.

Last year 88,000 visited the reading and reference rooms. The library has 160.000 books for circulation. Anent the personal equation. It may be said that Miss Tbbltt Inspires her associates with enthusiasm, with a genuine Interest in their work. The Idea of service Is reflected at the pub lic library In a practical way. The attendant* are always willing to ex tend any assistance.they can to vis itors who are looking for material or wish a particular line of reading. Miss Tobitt aids in giving Informa tion on systematic reading. For a Limited En« gegement In Bellroom FRED HAMM and his renowned DANCE ORCHESTRA Direct from New York .

Mantell and Genevieve Hamper arc to appear at the Brandeis theater for three nights and Saturday matinee, commencing Thursday night, May 22. "Sir Edward*Bulwer Hylton's historical play "Richelieu." will he the opening bill. This fine old play has been retained In the repertory of the great actor for many years on ac count of Its artistic excellence. "Richelieu” was first presented In Hondon, England. March 1, 1839, and Is Indicative of the French period as turbulent ns the one through which that, war-torn country liaa .iust passed. Mr. Mantell's portrayal of the illus trous rardinnl Is a Datable achieve ment. In Miss Hamper is found a Julie, the ward of Rlahelleu, that Is a charming and convincing character ization. Friday night, "Macbeth," will lie presented; at the matinee Satur day, "As You Hike Tt,” and Saturday night, "Julius Caesar.” Surely a feast fon th* lovers of the best the stage has to offer. The clowning and harmony of Sher man, Van and Hyman, and the clever dancing of Hughes and Merritt are high lights In the current six-act vaudeville bill at the * World. Ed Blondell's comedy characterization of "Th# Host Boy , meets with much laughing approval. An Interesting phase of the show Is the vaudeville debut of Sam Brown, well known Omaha dancer, who ecores one of the hits of the MU with his eccentric step ping. "Xhe Heart of a Clown" and th* "Nautical Follleo" are dual head line features for the bill starting Saturday. Something new la on tap for the extra added feature at the Empress Wednesday evening. These special novelty attraction* have been proving most popular but the biggest fun event of all has been reserved for to morrow evening when a ."Chorus Girls' Boxing Contest ’ Is scheduled. Six girls will participate in the comedy exhibition of "manly" art. There will be bouta of two rounds each and the "champloness" will be handsomely rewarded. The contest will follow the first evening perform ances of the successful musical play, "Forty-five Mlnutea From Broad way." ' , Channlng Pollock.

"Leila, dear, get out my dresses, please,'' Mrs. Durkee entreated. "I must look them over right away. I don't believe I have a thing fit to be seen'." Dicky rose and faugbingly lounged over to her. "Now, Flora MeFlinisey, of Madi son Square," he chided, “don't begin that song and dance or you'll never get to North Carolina. You want to start as soon ns Katherine thinks it's safe for you to make the trip, anti she says a week. Why bother your little head ahout doilies? You know you look entrancing in any thing you put. on." Mrs. Durkee made a fare at him and waved him imperatively away. "If you can't hand me anything newer than that, Dicky-Bird,” she said, "I’d advise Madge to put you through a course of sprouts or send you to school somewhere. You're falling off terribly In your pretty speeches. Now sit back, there In the corner and don't say a word unless I tell you to." "What's the matter with my going out and having a stroll and a smoke while you wonibn are discussing clothes?" Dicky rejoined somewhat sulkily. "I might remind you also, my beloved spouse, that Tempus Is taking her foot In her hand and fidgeting all around the place." “Her Flufflness" Sees. "We really ought to be starting," I told Mrs. Durkee, worriedly. "You can start pretty soon," she replied composedly. "And the Dicky Bird doesn’t lieed any smoke. I know him. He'll smoke all the way out in the car, just the same as Alf doea. They're both smoking a great deal more than is good for them. Beside#. I want Picky's arttstlc judg ment about colors.” "Whlch-youTI never think of tak ing," he retorted grinning, but nev ertheless he obediently hied himself* to a far corner of the room, while the little woman excitedly comment ed upon the gowns and suits which Leila brought fqrth and held up for inspection. "There's no use talking,’’ she. said finally In a despondent tone. "Some of these thing* can be fixed up but I’ll have to have a new traveling suit and sn afternoon gown and-" She etopped short and caught her breath sharply. I knew, that she Had seen what I had, the Involun tary shadow that had crossed Leila's sensitive face, and I was desperately afraid that she would misinterpret It. Neither woman was in physical or mental condition to face the ugly controversial pnsdlbiUties of a situa tion whose roots lsy far hack In the day* before Alfred Durkee* mar riage. The young art editor 1* a high-sal aried man, but he has not always been such, and In the day* of his early struggles his widowed mother stood shoulder to shoulder with him and endured many privations. Look of llesljimnfnt. Alfred, most dutiful snd devoted of sons, never has forgotten his mother’s loving sacrifice, and when success came to him, It was his de light to surround her with the sar torial fripperies In which her soul delights. Economical and sensible In all other details, she is extravagant In dress—Dicky's sobriquet of "Her Flufflness” was not given to her without reason. But until Alfred's marriage the yearly amount she spent did not mstter and her son was only too glad to Indulge her. Now, however, the salary which had been ample for the two had to do duty for three, and Alfred had spared no expense In the. care his mother hHd received during her oper ation. T guessed that a terrific alasli had been made in Alfred's savings account, and It appeared to me that his mother should have had the sense to see that this was no time for her to Indulge herself In new gowns, especially as her old j ones, to all appearances, were mod j Ish and attractive. My heart constricted with sudden pity for Bella. Naturally her hus band's cohfidant, she must know the exact state of his finances. She knew also, as did his mother, that withtn the next few months they would face another financial emer gency. But the gentle, high mind e 1 girl could no more voire an objection lo her mother-in-law’s pro jected spending than she could have struck the elder woman In the face. Unconsciously, however, she lisd dealt that savage blow although the shadow lingered not a second In her eyes. But the elder woman had seen, and the pity I had felt for Bella quickly transferred Itself to her mother-in-law. as I saw the ter rified, childlike bewilderment blend with remorseful and resentful realiz ation upon the face of “Her Fluf flneas.’’ NEBE^fjJ &113 pros the heart lilgiwBfiy 25f aboKtiJoJS* T3y§^" Get Rid of Dandruff By Cuticura Shampoos \&j‘sssstigsss!i syrgi«a,ad orns CBtnuti Don't risk blood poisoning by paring n com.
