^ Today Smith Will Run. An Example for Europe. Big Guns Are Toys. Advertising Psychology. By ARTHUR BRISBANE v___> _ Governor A1 Smith of New York will run again for a third term. Governor Smith understands local politics as well as any man. His friends say, no matter what happens, Smith is sure of great triumph, and will surely run a long way ahead of John W. Davis. “Two minion more votes for A1 Smith than for John W. Davis,” is to be the motto of the campaign. Some of A1 Smith’s followers feel that he was badly treated in democratic convention. They as sert that he would have been nom inated except for religious preju dice, and feel it their duty to pun ish that prejudice. They expect to say to the demo cratic party after this election, “if you don’t want us during conven tion week, you mustn’t expect to have us on election day.” “You must make up your mind to take A1 Smith for president, or the democratic party won’t have any president for some time.” The question is, in view of La Follette’s strength, wether there will be any democratic party after this election. Many believe that there will be a conservative party, republican, and a radical party, growing out of the La Follette movement. On June 15, 1925, the league of nations will call “an arms parley of the whole warld.” The big 12, nations that control the league—they might be reduced to 2, England and France—hope that 15 state* will unite to stop warv The United States hopes so also. Here we have 48 states, thoroughly united, no war, no custom houses, , none unfriendly. Let Europe imitate the United States and organize such a com. bination of nations as we have here, instead of trying to drag us into the league and make us pay master, in future wars. While Europe talks of peace, war is progressing in China. Rep resentatives of European govern ments there are nervous and may welt be. And the Spaniards are preparing for! their most desperate battle against the Moors. War is not quite “ended for all time.” United States coast artillery of ficers have finished experiments with two new 16-inch rifles. Each will throw a projectile weighing ?,000 pounds a distance of 35 mil as. Hut these gigantic cannon will ;oori be only toys. No battleships will'come against our coast or our coast artillery. What is the use of a IG-inch gun that can shoot 35 miles, when a flock of flying machines traveling more rapidly than the old cannon balls that were fired at Gettysburg, would “just in passing” drop enough TNT to wipe out a whole nest of coast ar tillery? A cannon that can shoot 35 miles, or the big Bertha that shot 70 miles will be a plaything com pared to the machine flying 300 miles an hour carrying bombs any distance. This country needs flying ma-1 chine* and submarines and the ! president should see that they are 1 ^ built. Professors at Columbia college I will teach the psychology of ad vertising. At the same time they will, of course, take up the psychol ogy of salesmanship. Advertising | is salesmanship through the printed . word," The main thing for the salesman and advertisers to know, in the way of psychology, is when to I atop talking. To just say just enough, then stop, putting into the brain that you are trying to “sell” just as much as it can comfortably digest, is the great advettising art. If you say to a customer, "I am I going to give you five thousand I good reasons why you should buy j Hjis,” the customer will look g around for a place to lie down and sleep. Cigaret License Revoked. Denison, la., Sept. 22.—Johnson and La Frenz were fined hy Justice H. T. Bliesman for selling cigarets to a minor and under the law their license from the city council to se'l eigarets was automatically revoked. The action was Instituted hy State Officer J. B. Farrand of Des Moines. Democrats in State Worry Over Outlook Hitrhcork Faction Seeks to Allay Fear of Bryan En- j tering White House March 4. "If T-aFollette gets enough votes to prevent the election of Coolldge, there will be a coalition of republi cans and democrats that will result In naming John W. Davis for presi dent. In the house, and Charles G. Dawes for vice president in the senate." According to dispatches from Chi cago this is the story that the John W. Davis party brought back with them from its tour of the middle western states. According to these dispatches, no one in the Davis party would openly make such a claim, but it was admitted privately that the strength that Davis had ex pected in the west as a result of the nomination of Charles W. Bryan for vice president, had been found to be a myth*, They found Instead that Bryan was a weakness to the ticket. One of the chief reasons for this weakness, it was discovered, was the fear among substantial democrats, especially among the followers of Gil bert M. Hitchcock, that the LaFol lette strength might bring about a deadlock in the house with the re sulting selection of Charles W. Bryan as vice president and his in auguration as president by default. Cloud Over Nebraska. This danger has been hanging like a cloud over Nebraska and it is un derstood that old-line democrats told Davis when he was here that it was a real danger. Those who have been watching the development of the po litical lineup in Nebraska declare that it is this fear that has relegated Davis to the third position in the Cornhusker state. That the fear has been real is illus trated by the fact that leading demo crats of the Hitchcock following in Nebraska have finally determined that .it must be met and grappled with. The first move in this direction is a declaration from one of the chief sup porters of Hitchcock that the story of Bryan being selected by the senate is foolish, that it Is the “game” of the I.a follette forces to select a “re actionary” in order that they would have someone whom they could at tack during the next four years. Ac cording to this argument, the La Fol lette followers would not vote for Bryart because he is "progressive.” It is urged that ter “put” in a “»ro gressive” as vice president, on the theory that through a deadlock In the house he would become president after March 4,.would take from the La Follette followers their biggest chance—namely, the opportunity to train their guns on the administra tion. Two-Way Argument. The argument of the old-line Hitch cock democrats thus cuts both ways. It is intended to allay the fear that Charles W. Bryan has a chance of becoming the next president, and it gives credence to the dispatches from Chicago that those close to Davis are talking about a deal which would make the West Virginian president with Dawes as vice president. The motive of the first part of this two way cutting argument is appreciated. It shows that the Hitchcock demo crats ready are afraid of the possi bility of Bryan going into the White House. The effect of tlie second part of the argument is in large measure a confession that Davis' strength in the middle west, to all practical pur poses, does not exist. Republicans in Omaha look upon these maneuvers as a confession of weakness and as an effort on the part of the democrats to prevent the com plete swamping of their party at the fail elections. They are more than ever convinced that Coolidge will go' enough votes to overcome both Davis and LaFollette and they point out that these stories of deals will make it a certainty. Bryan Already Worried. There is another interesting fact in connection with the role being played by Charles W. Bryan. He has gone outside the borders of Nebraska on a speaking trip only once. The rest of his time he has given assiduously to his own state. Those close to him say that he is doing all the trading he can to carry Nbbraska for Davis, conscious of the fact that If the state goes to Coolldge his days as a leader In Nebraska politics are at an end. One of Bryan's close friends is report ed to have said that the governor recently bewailed the fact that he had not stuck to the governorship. Impressions of Europe. J. W. Elwood will give his impres sions of Europe in an address before the Omaha Triangle club Tuesday noon at the club's regular meeting at Hotel Fiyitenelle.

Member* of the police-federal liquor squad are again "at outs” with Rob ert Samardick, general prohibition agent. _ Eddie Vanous, member of (he squad which has been working with Samar dick, declared Monday that "Samar dick can have his job; I don't want it.” Vanous and other police officials be came indignant when Samardick failed to appear in police court to testify against five men charged with the possession of a half-pint of liquor. When the case was called, Judge Patrick asked Vanous if he had found the alleged liquor on the men, tvho were arrested together near Sixth and Pierce streets. "No," answered Vanous. "And be sides, I don't believe in arresting men for having a thimbleful of whisky In their hip pockets.” Heinle Bosen, another member of the squad, also dented t-hat he had found the alleged liquor. Judge Pat rick then asked for Samardick. Jle was not in court. "I certainly can’t convict men on such evidence as this,” said Judge Patrick. "If Samardick Insists on 'ar resting men with small quantities of liquor, he should he in court to tes tify against them.” City Prosecutor Rrungardt agreed to the dismissal of four of (he five men who had pleaded not guilty. Charles Morris, thei only man to I lead guilty, was fined MOO and costs. Those released were Walter Lemming. Dodge hotel; John O'Grady, Elms hoel; Jack Spar, Seventeenth and Chi cago streets, and E.

Aurora, Sept. 22.—Farmers report that corn in Hamilton county has been making satisfactory progress during the past week of cloudy weath er. Many fields are said to be beyond harm from a light touch of frost. Another week will relieve most of the worry in this vicinity about soft corn.

Reddy Fox Reunites Interested. It just happened that Reddy Fox was over near the end of the Long Lane when Farmer Brown's Boy and Bowser th£ Hound entered tt from the cornfield on their way home. Tt was bright moonlight, and Reddy could see them almost as cleary as if it had been daylight. But they didn't see Reddy. You see Iteddv was standing in the Black Shadow*. Farmer Brown's Boy was carrying something in one hand. Now and then he held It up to look at It. Reddy had heard Bowser chasing Bobby Coon In the Green Forest. Then he had heard him over In the cornfield. So Reddy guessed right Reddy Fox trotted along softly in the lllark Shadows at one side away that Bowser had caught some one and that the thing Farmer Brown's Boy was carrying was that some one. "It isn't Bobby Coon," said Reddy to himself. "It isn't big enough for Bobby Coon. I would like to know who it is. I am surprised that Farmer Brown's Boy would allow Bowser to kill any one. Ho actually looks pleased over it. Yes, sir, he ac tually looks pleased. I must find out more about this." So when Farmer Brown's Boy and Bowser the Hound and Fnc’ Billy Possum went up the Long Lane some one else also went up the Long Lane. It was Reddy Fox. While Farmer Brown's Boy and Bowser kept in the moonlight in the middle of the Lane, Reddy Fox trotted along softly in the Black Shadows at one side. Just before they reached the barnyard Reddy had stolen near enough to see clearly who it was Farmer Brown's Boy was carrying. "Fnc' Billy Possum!" exclaimed Reddy Fox under his breath. "Fnc' Billy Possum! They must have caught him down In the cornfield Bowser must have caught him and shaken him to death. I wonder what Farmer Brown's Boy will do with hint. I wouldn't mind having him myself. No, sir I wouldn't mind hav ing him myself. I think I'll hang around awhile, and see what r>m er Brown's Boy does with him, how fat Fnc’ Billy looks! Just looking at him makes me hungry." So Reddy hid where h“ could watch That wasn't very difficult You ses all he had to do was to keep In the Black Shadows. He saw Farmer Brown's Boy stretrh Fnc' Billy on the ground and heard hint tell Bowser the Hound to watch him He eaw Bowser sit down beside Fnc‘ Billy and Farmer Brown's Boy go Into tbe barn. The Instant Farmer Brown's Bov disappeared Reddy moved over n little nearer to Bowser and Fnc' Billy Possum, lie still kept In the Black Shadows. Reddy was thinking hnrd and fast. "If I can get Bowser away from TTnc’ Billy Possum perhaps I'll have a chance to get Fnc' Billy myself.” though he. "It Is worth trying, ans way.” ICorvrhtht 1134 ) I The next itory: "OurloAlty In Too Much for llnwaer.” OSTEOPATHY is • complete- system of them* psulici applicable alike to all curnble diseases, acute or chronic Hearing on Tram j Plea for Tax Cut Set for October 15 City Officials and Railway Commission to Consider Petition for Relief; ' Revenue Falling. A conference has been called for October 15, in the city council cham ber, for city commissioners, repre sentatives of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company and the Nebraska state railway commis sion, to consider Omaha's traction system situation. This situation as presented to city council committee of the whole Mon day morning by R. A. Leussler, gen eral manager, is that the street car company must be relieved of occupa tion taxes and paving requirements or be granted authority to increase the rate of fare. The city council by ordinance may rescind the occupation tax require ment. To remove the paving require ment, the city charter would have to be amended at an election. The state railway commission has power to grant higher traction rates. Luessler stated that his company Is not earning a return equal to that which was authorized by the state commission in its last finding, based on a physical valuation of the sys tem. Decrease Shown. The general manager told the coun cil the decrease of revenue In Omaha for the period January 1 to April 30 of this year was $16,951, and that the slump became more marked after April. Ha- said the slump in May was $18,637, more than the entire slump for first four months of this year. The’deorease in June he re ported as $26,416; July, $23,442; Au gust, $27,785; first 14 days of Sep -iernber, $10,731. The company also reported that the average daily decrease in earnings of the Omaha lines from June 1 to Sep tember 14 was $834, and approximate ly $1,000 per day for the entire sys tem during the same period. "This is not alone a matter of get ting returns for the investors,’K said Leussler, "but the most important thing just now Is the conservation of the prBperty. In 1928 there will be due $10,000,000 street railway bonds, and unless we can float a new issue to meet those maturing bonds there will be nothing left but a receiver ship. Fare Boost No Solution. Leussler explained that he dislikel the alternative of increasing the fare because he did not think an increase would yield the desired results. He prefers the removal of the occupation tax and paving requirements, which last year amounted to $170,000. Leussler stated that the deficit of the Omaha lines last year was $367, 681 and during the first seven months of this year, for the entire system— Omaha and Council Bluffs—there was a further decrease of $41,467 in net income compared with last year. His financial statements indicated a con tinued slump in 1924. leussler noted that street railways of Kansas City, St. Louis. Des Moines and Denver are in the hands of re ceivers. and that the Philadelphia company is asking for a fare of 8 cents. STOLEN CHECKS ARE RETURNED Wyniore, Neb., Sept. 22.—Personal checks to the amount of over $300 stolen with $300 cash, from the safe nf the Farmers Lumber company of WymwreThursday, were found rolled up under a filing cabinet in the lum ber office Friday. Bloodhounds from Beatrice and a posse led by City Marshal Lytle of Wymore, followed trails from the yard Thursday, and one local driver in the employ of the yard was arrested, but later he was released. It Is now thought that a stranger robbed the safe and left on an early morning westbound pas senger train. A flashlight Identified by a local hardware merchant as one sold the stranger Wednesday evening was found in the lumber yard Friday. Victim of Alcoholism Leaves $11,.'>00 Estate Columbus.

C. PETER MILL CO. Soulk Omaha, N#b A Indian Legends to Be Examined Curator Blackman May Trace Unwritten Nebraska History Back to 1100 A. D. Columbus, Neb., Sept. 22.—Unwrit ten history of Nebraska may be traced back to the year 1100 A. D., during the coming winter. Anecdotes of the Indians, their history and legends will all be gathered, classified and tested under the direction of E. E. Blackman, curator of the Nebraska State Historical society. Newspaper files, stories of pioneers and Indian tales of the entire Loup and Elkhorn river valley regions will be gathered. They are calculated to aid Blackman in further explorations next summer. This year, four weeks of explorations during August showed that the Spanish expedition, "the lost legion,'’ which came here from Santa Fe in 1720, perished in a massacre at the mouth of the Loup and Platte rivers. Researches this summer disclosed Indian relics that may lead to the final connection of the Indian and the Aztec races and ultimately prove the source of the red man's origin. To aid this work every bit of his tory dating backward from the build ing of the Union Pacific railroad will be gathered and classified. This will Include the periods that embrace the "Forty-niners,” the Oregon trail days, the days of John C. Fremont, the expeditions from Santa Fe, St. Louis and the Falls of St. Anthony (Min neapolis), the Lewis and Clark expe dition and the days of Coronado. Mr. Blackman and the State Histor ical society will ask the naxt session of the state legislature for 11,000 to continue this work. Congressman Edgar Howard of the Third Nebraska district, where the ancient irfdian cities are located, says the request Is too small. If money is refused the field museum of the Smithsonian in stitute will take up the work and the finds will go to Chicago or Wash ington, D. C.
