^ Today Easy, General. Cosmic Advertising. France Takes It. White Slaves in Africa. By ARTHUR BRISBANE L j For General Dawes, you might do your running mate, President Coolidge, a great deal of good, and might do him a great deal of harm. Mr. Dawes, arriving in New York, indicates that it is possible to overdo the “Hell and Maria” business. In one newspaper he ex claims, seeing the crowd waiting and photographers ready, “Oh, hell, what’s this for?” Even Cyrus H. K. Curtis’ little paper, which is ardently for Cool idge and Dawes, carried in its post ( script edition this heading, “Dawes ' Here ‘Damned’ if He’ll Pose, Com , ment or Shake Hands.” In the next edition Mr. Curtis toned that down and made Dawes say: “Won’t be in darn campaign if he can’t be himself.” “Cussing” was all right for pirate and on the stage, or perhaps when you really hit your thumb with a hammer it has its place. But there are some men and many wo men in the republican party to whom “cussing” is not an added at L traction. I^P^ You won’t find Mr. Coolidge in dulging in any profanity. If the Washington monument fell down or the treasury blew up, “dear me,” is the roughest talk you would get from him. General Dawes is a powerful per sonality, a fighter, not a poser. He could add a great deal to the strength of his friend, Coolidge. But he should not ignore W. J. Bryan’s statement, “The more Dawes talks the better the demo crats will like it.” Men that send radio messages through the ether are requested to keep quiet for awhile tomorrow when Mars comes within 35,000, i 000 miles of earth. Some scientists hope for some sort of message. They won’t get it, or if they did get t, they wouldn’t know they ■ were getting it A week-old baby gets many mes 5ages without understanding them. n proportion to the total life of this planet, the life of human be ings upon it, is as a few seconds compared to man’s total of four 1 score and ten. The human race is too young and savage to interest inhabitants of any old, fully de veloped planet like Mars. They would as soon think of talking to any unhatched chicken in the egg. ^Nothing they could say would in H^grest such a chicken. Wonderful is advertising, and great is power. It can help, even stars, planets, moons, nebulae, and the milky way itself, to attract at tention. Sixteen hundred million people on this earth haven’t paid any at tention to the planet Mars for years. Several hundred millions of them will be looking around in the sky for that pftuiet tonight and tomorrow night simply because it has been advertised in the news papers recently. i At about 10 o’clock tonight you will find Mars in the southeastern part of the sky. Later, at about midnight standard time, look for it due south. Still later in the south west. You won’t need glasses, you can’t mistake it. Only about 34, ! 000,000 miles away Mars will shine as brightly as the giant Jupiter, which could swallow Mars as a toad i swallows a fly. France has decided, without risk ing a vote in parliament, to accept the London arrangement for the payment of German reparations— Ipermany borrowing from us, to Build up France and Belgium, then faking whatever Germany ean pro duce. Herriot, the socialist prime min ister, warned the French, "You will cake this plan here, as I took it at London, or you will be Isolated to ptand by yourselves." The French will take it. Whit# people read with horror the story of white men and women ^^k*‘held in slavery by the Bokwena ^H^Rtivc blacks of the great Kalahari ^^^resert,” called “The Great Thirst desert.” i) You could easily get a crowd of Whites to embark on a lynchinig expedition “to get” Sebele, head native chief, who want* revenge for something. It is horrible to think of whites held in slavery by blacks in Africa. But there is no reason for our get ting too much excited about it. In the first place, the story about jSebele and his white slaves is prob ably a press agent story. In the pecond place, the “highly cultured, puperior, refined and sensitive” pvhite people of the world were able for so many years to convince them l Selves that it was all right to geparate black mothers from their children on the auction block, and Rirk black slaves under the lash. hy should the whites be much ■urprised if a chief, “Sebele," real pr imaginary, should decide to keep | p few white slaves? ■I Ordinarily, accidents at railroad ■ pressings leave the railroad “rather Bj fold,” but this one is different, fj A New Jersey Central engine ?an into an automobile truck, kill ng seven, one in the truck, six on ■ the train. That’s unusual. 8 Tha engine and three coaches H were turned over, the other track B was plowed up, all traffic stopped, ■ engineei and five others killed, 30 R Injured. That will make railroads ■ think about grade crossing protec H tion. Only one Pullman car stayed frm on the track, thanks to heavy ■ pteel construction. But wooden ■ ears arc cheaper.

Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, Aug. 22.—After delivering a death blow to W. J. Taylor of Mer na, and others who desired to see a real La Follette national and state ticket In Nebraska, certain leaders of the La Follette movement are prepar ing to send word to the old Non partisan league members that a meet ing of the Nebraska branch of the National Conference for Progressive Political Action will hold a meeting in a short time. This meeting prob ably will be addressed by A. C. Town ley, head of the old Nonpartisan league, who is reported to be in the ! state. The purpose c|f the meeting will bo for leaders of tlie old league to get together, decide who they prefer for state and congressional officers and send word to their followers that cer tain officers have been endorsed by the conference. The present lineup of candidates to receive this endorse ment follows: George W. Norris, for United States senator; J. N. Norton, for governor; O. 9. Spillman, for attorney general; Charles W. Pool, for secretary of state; George W. Marsh, for state auditor; no one for stale treasurer; Dan Swanson, for land commissioner; John H. Morehead, for congress in the First district: no one in Second district; Edgnr Howard for congress in ths Third district; no one in Fourth district; A. C. Shallenbarger, for con gress in the Fifth district; C. W. Beal, for congress in the Sixth district. Two years ago a similar endorse ment was made by the Nonpartisan league. This year It will be made in the name of the Nebraska branch of the National Conference for Progres sive Political Action. There was little dissension over such action two years ago. This year it may be different. It virtually makes a third party in Ne braska, something Frank A. Harrison and other leaders in the La Follette movement asserted they did not want at the Grand Island meeting. At that tims It was asserted that to form a third party would antagonize friends of candidates In ths old parties who otherwise would be for La Follette. However, the leaders had hardly re turned from the Grand Island con vention than they began plotting to arrange a meeting where they will fix up a slate and request all La Follette men to vote for the state and congres sional officers whose names appear cn this slate.
