v Today England's Plrm. How Does Canada Do It?, All Were Once Killers. Japan W on t Attack Us. By ARTHUR BRISBANE __ Great Britain, with a labor prime minister, proposes to show that lack of employment can be avoided. Instead of paying men to do noth j ing with “unemployment pay,” pub lic work will be created and men will be put at it. We should call that socialism l here. Secretary Davis tells the presi - dent that payrolls here are improv ,, ing. Nine thousand establishments in the United States increased by 3.7 per cent, the amount paid to 'I 2,500,000 men and women. Sec i retary Davis says this is “a business revival,” the first he ever saw in a political campaign. 'I We are doing fairly well in Amec 'S ica. May it last. W La Follette's son says Canada J has reduced freight rates on agri cultural products to prices prevail ■ ing before the war. And she pays her railroad men as well as we pay ■ them in this country. Also note i that railways owned by the Cana * iJian people have changed a deficit of 37 millions in 1921 under private management to a surplus 4K °f more than 20 millions in 1923, under government management? How do you explain that? * Here the government can’t man age everything apparently. It i can't even manage to keep its own ,J high employes from stealing its own naval oil reserves. >• t s Luckily, the United States can ' afford to be robbed in divers ways. The treasury did a business of more than a billion dollars in one day recently. It would be interest ing to know the real income of the ‘.United States. More than 100 bil lion a year probably. “ The head of the Chicago univer sity sees in young Loeb and Leo pold a strange puzzle. There is no great puzzle about it. Men living today, buried with them, memory Sot days when killing was a pleas ure and torture a matter of course. If Cyrus, a really great king, ’could write, calmly, of another de feated king, “I cut off his nose and his lips and chained him at my gate,” what wonder that horrible brutality crops out here and there .a few centuries later? The wonder is that it is so rare. Those worried about Japan at tacking the United States—because • we decline to have this country colonized by Asiatics—should re member these facts: In one week three steamers have unloaded $20,000,000 worth of silk, including raw silk, at the port of Seattle. The Japanese, good business people, won’t attack a country of which one single port can absorb $20,000,000 worth of their product in a week. In Japan a man will be tried soon for an attack on the life of the prince regent. In all the history of Japan there have been only two attempts to murder the nation's ruler. The other occurred 18 years ago, when a bomb was thrown at the Mikado Meiji. Then 70 radicals were sentenced to death. The man soon to be tried will be SXecuted undoubtedly. A few years ago his crime would have been punished with a refined in genuity beyond the wildest dreams of Gilbert and Sullivan. There are now regular quotations for sounterfeit notes. The aver age price is $25 for $100 worth of bogus bills. The market is stabil ised by the demand for such money, used by bootleggers in buy ing liquor from the rum fleet, sent by our British brothers. The managers of the boats are good bootleggers, but not familiar with American money, and many, it seems, have been taking bad money for worse whisky—which seems fair enough. ; Governor Pinchot has signed the death warrant of a young colored woman who killed a colored po liceman and pleaded self-defense. She will be the first woman execu t?d in the state of Pennsylvania in 35 years. Governor Pinchot signed . the death warrant when he was in a hospital. When he comes out, entirely recovered, it may occur to ^ , Him that putting a negress to death AIIVEBTISKM K NT. NERVOUS,RUN DOWN MOTHERS Worn Out Caring for Children and Housework—See how Lydia E. Pinkbam’s Vegetable Compound Helps Indianapolis, Indiana.—‘T was ins very nervous and run-down condition while nursing my baby, and hearing some talk of Lydia E.Pinkham’s Veg etable Compound, I began taking it.

Republican newspapers indicate Coolidge and his management ignore John W. Davis, and are con cerned only with the race that La Follette i» making. It is difficult for the average mind to understand that. Davie probably will get the states to which he is “entitled" according to tradition in the south. There is a big vote that can’t be taken from him. It seems to be quite certain that Mr. Davis will not run third in the number of votes cast, at all events. A small boy, arrested for smash ing a straw hat on a pedestrian’s head, pleaded not guilty. “It’s Sep tember 15, and I only did my duty,’’ he told the judge. They let him go. That’s enlightening as regards the education of some American childhood. (Copyright, 192<) Baptist Leaders to Convene at Shenandoah Next Week Shenandoah, la..

Slash in Tariff, Taxes, Pledge of Davis to Voters Says Coolidge Claimed Credit for Democratic Relief; No Reason for Economic Barrier, He Deelares. Des Moines, Sept. 17.—Further tax reduction and a downward revision of existing tariff duties in a manner to avoid jeopardizing the stability and sense of security that are essential to the transaction of business were promised here tonight hy John W. Davis in an address in this stronghold of republicanism. In making these promises. Mr. Davis vigorously assailed the existing tariff law- and attacked President Coolidge for what he described as "coolly” claiming credit for the tax re lief given by "the democratic tax bill” passed by the last congress, a hill which he asserted the administra tion gpposed at every step of the way through congress. Contrasting what he said were the guiding principles of the two parties in the handling of matters of tariff and taxation, the democratic presi dential nominee declared "the demo cratic theory is a maximum of rev enue with a minimum of tax; the re publican doctrine is a minimum of revenue with a maximum of subsidy.” Besides promising tax and tariff re form, Mr. Davis declared for economy in government, national and state, and in this connection he said he wanted to take exception to the republican administration on the sub ject of tax and public debt reduction. He presented figures to show that the democratic, administration had re duced taxes more than two billions of dollars after the war and that it had cut the public debt at a rate of $140, 000,000 a month against the $67,500, 000 under the present administration. Makes Four Speeches. Mr. Davis' address tonight et the coliseum was the fourth delivered here since his arrival early in the day from Missouri. He spoke first at an organization meeting of demo cratic leaders, then at a gathering of democratic women, and finally, at a dinner by the Junior chamber of com merce. He left late tonight for Chi cago, where he is to speak tomorrow night. After outlining his conception of the difference in the taxation doc trines of the democratic and repub lican parties. Mr. Davis launched into a scathing denunciation of the Ford ney-McCumber tariff Daw. He de clared that because of shifting economic conditions then existing “it was not a time for the preparation of a tariff measure based upon any principle except that of greed.” Reviewing these economic, condi tions, Mr. Davis declared that ‘‘never in all the history of America was there less reason to erect a Chinese wall around its borders and cut off productive commerce with the out side world." Pointing out that the republican press had condemned the measure ‘‘as even more out of line with the times than the Payne-Ald rich bill was in 1909,” the speaker said that tested by any standard, a bill of this sort does not protect, but merely exploits.” Pledges Rate Slash. ‘‘Every consumer in America can, from his own daily experience, bear witness to this fact,” said he. Asserting that the measure had restricted the market abroad for American agriculture and American industries which must export If they are to prosper, the democratic nomi nee said the bill was “economic mad ness and political destruction.” “Mr, Coolidge and his party pledge themselves to maintain the existing law,” he went on. “As against this legislative mon strocity and in substitution for it, the democratic party proposes to re form the tariff by revising downward the existing duties to a truly com petitive basis and by eliminating ail favoritism and the evils that flow from it. We do not propose any ruthless and vindictive clashing of rates to gratify political animosities or class antagonism."

Train Crew Holds Engineer Blameless in Death of Fern Ward; Companion Testifies. A coroner'* Jury Wednesday found that the Illinois Central railroad was blameless in the death of Fern Ward, 15, 1722 Avenue D, Council Bluffs, who was fatally Injured a week ago when she was struck by a switch engine. The verdict exonerating the rail road and its employes of any blame for the girl’s death was reached after the Jury had visited Theima Reed, companion of Fern Ward, at her home. The Reed girl was slightly injured by the same engine, and is slowly recovering from the shock of the tragedy. The Reed girl told the jury Wednes day that she and Kern Ward had been walking between the Illinois Central’s double tracks on Eighteenth street, and that they stepped onto the switch when they heard the engine's bell and whistle, believing It to be a train on the main track. The Reed girl escaped serloua In jury because she was a step in ad vance of the Ward girl, and was able to save her life by leaping from the track. Members of the train crew testi fied at the Inquest Wednesday morn ing that they did not see the girls on the track unil the engine was within 20 feet of them.
