6 More Days Have, Gone. Little Netvs, Little » Change. Napoleon s If isdom. American Business Has It. ^Gy ARTHUR BRISBANE^ The world, another day closer to the day of Judgment or “the cos mic cataclysm,” or whatever it is that will wind up man’s earthly ca reer, finds the news about as usual. The Methodist church urges all churches to unite "in a war against war,” but the church would not vote never to tight in future wars. When the next war comes, clergy men will be helping the sale of bonds as usual and going them selves under tire. The socialists, now in charge of the French government, are seek ing a road to permanent peace, and some solution of their national prob lems. They will still be seeking, next week and later. Exclusive clubs in New York de cide to suspend their visitors’ list during the democratic convention. This is presumably to oblige mem bers that occasionally dream politi cal dreams, on their own account, but w'ould not like to push the thing so far as to “invite those political chaps to one’s own club, don’t you know.” We really have an Ameri can aristocracy, a poor thing, but our own. Mrs. Atkinson, who married two husbands, says a triangle is no geometrical figure for a lady desir ing peace. The second husband pleases her, but he wants to leave, using No. 1 as an excuse. The lady is referred to chapter 29, page 107 of the third fat vol ume of Wcstermark’s history of human marriage. It’s the chapter on polyandry, a word taken from the Greek meaning “several men.” If Mrs. Atkinson will go to Thibet, she will find one wife married to several bothers, or cousins, all con tented. If the lady rejects Thibet, where the movie theaters and soda water fountains are scarce and in ferior, she has her choice of a hun dred places where polyandry is legal. _ If she favors one husband in her collection, she might try residence among the Kaniagmiut, where “two or even three men sometimes live with one wife without suspicion or jealousy,” but the second husband, (and presumably the third also), •was only a deputy who acted as huiband and master of the house during the absence of the true lord, end on th# latter’* return not paly yielded to him hi* place, but became In the meantime hi* serv ant." _ If on* set of laws do not please you, you can always find a region where the laws are different. Be fore many years European capital ists will be coming to this country, destined to become the great nation "•of conservatism, and homeland of entrenched capital. Live another hundred years and you’ll see it. A young person described as “General Dawes’ assistant,” says we have too much gold in America. It is our curse, and we should at once modify the curse by lending plenty of our money to Europe. That’s interesting, but let the “as sistant” ask General Dawes what he would do. Dawes has gold, much of it, a, few millions anyhow, in his private ! fortune. What would lie reply if the “assistant” aid: “General, your trouble is too much money. I know some bank rupts that owe you money now, have no idea of ever paying you, but would like to borrow more. Lend them a lot and relieve the pressure on your pockethook." Would not General Dawes’ fa vorite “Hell and Marla” figure In his answer? Why do financiers, sloppy sentimentalists and others forever advise Uncle Sam to do what they would not do themselves? We ought to learn national wis dom from that wise republic, France. Consider what happened to the Vanderbilt boys, William K. and Harold, when they sold their father’s racing stable in France They got a big price for the sta ble, one of the finest in the world, but they were told by the French "government: “Sell your stable, but don’t forget that the money you get for ti must stay in France. You must invest all that money in French enterprises, French bonds or stock, what you will, but it must be French. We intend that capi tal. once in France, shall stay in France, to employ French labor and build tip French industry.” And the Vandprhilt boys Hid leave the money in France, for the French government knows how to regulate such things. It even col lect* full Income tax from rich men, although It fear* to tax little men too heavily. With us, it’* the other way around. Wa tax small business men, doctors or lawyers, wearing out their life and the bodily ma chine that earns his living, with no allowance for depletion, or for doc tors’ bills, to keep the machine going. But, the owner of a great coal mine, not doing an hour’s work in a year, says “my mine is wear ing out,” and he charges off huge sums “for depletion” against his , taxes. American financiers and the gov ernment might learn from France that keeps all the French money at work, In France. The man that bought the Vanderbilt racing stable waa also an American. But when he die* and hi* heir* sell the stable, the money will again remain in France. (Copyright. 1124) Newcastle Votes to fla\r Sunday Uascliall (James Newcastle.

Commercial Air Fleet to Prevent Invasion. Urged No Hostile Power Could Even Approach U. S. Shores, Admiral Fullam Declares. Congress can not prepare against war In time of peace, but the Ameri can people can and will prepare against foreign Invasion before It comes by establishing a great com mercial air fleet, according to Rear Admiral W. F. Fullam, former com mander of the Pacific fleet, In Omaha Monday to aid In developing the chap ter of the National Aeronautical as sociation. The admiral has been giving his entire time to the association for the last two years. He hag a set of mo tion picture films showing the progress of flying In Europe and America, which he showed at a public lecture at Technical High school auditorium Monday afternoon and at the Chamber of Commerce last night. "Congress can not appropriate enough money to maintain a great army and navy," the admiral said. "The best It can do is maintain the most Important branch of the serv ice. And that Is aviation. Invasion Is Impossible. “There will be no foreign Invasion as long as we have an adequate fleet of airplanes. • "We can have commercial planes to b« used In combat In time of war. "Business men now demand rapid communication. That was the rea son for establishing the air mall serv ice. Commercially, there Is money in air transportation and citzena who promote this Industry will profit, while they serve their country. "This association Is national In Its scope. We do not go Into details, por do we try to tell individual cities what to do.” Forty Members Here There are approximately 40 mem bers in the Omaha chapter of the aesoclatlon now. It was sponsored here by Gould Dietz, who Is a past vice president and at present a mem her of the executive committee of the national association. Rear Admiral Fullam became Inter ested In aviation aa means of de fense the dsy the ermlstlee was signed. His fleet was lying In the San Diego harbor on that day. The commander of the air field near there sent flO planes Into the air at once as a token of exultation. "As those planes passed over my fleet. In battle formation,1’ the ad miral said. "I began to think. If each one had a bomb no bigger than a grape fruit my entire fleet would heve heen anlhllated. We could have fled at 1* knots and hour. They could hav. pursued at 100 knots an hour. "If we establish a great commercial air force all thosa planes can be sent to either coast In emergency and there Is no power that could land troops or even approach our shores with cruisers through the rain of bombs that could be dropped on them."
