Brisbane, in Reply to Pinto, Suggests Subsidy to Mother Tells Doctor You Cannot Breed Humans Like Sheep in Comment on Annul* ing Childless Marriages. The proposal of Dr. Pinto to annul cliihlless marriages, the present arma ment situation, the prevailing pros perity found by a capable observer wh-ie traveling through this country, are discussed by Arthur Itrisbane in the following article written exclu sively for The Omaha Bee. Mr. Brisbane was in Omaha early Thursday morning for a short time. He is returning to New York after a visit to the Pacific coast—Editor's Note. “Traveling through the Far West, along the Pacific coast, you find op timism, based on sound judgment, everywhere. “At a luncheon given In San Fran cisco on Tuesday by Herbert Flelsch hacker, the banker, were gathered many of the most substantial men on the Pacific coast. They Included Mr. Sproule, president of the Southern Pacific; Mr. Shoup, president of the Pacific OH company: William Ran dolph Hearst r.nd a dozen others. "In the minds of these men there Is no doubt as to continuing pros perity in this country. The problem seems to be how to develop fully the opportunities that the country' af fords. "It Is difficult to be anything but optimistic in such a country as this. "We have reached the age of bil lions and the billions are In this coun try. Gold is Important, In a world where money means might. We have the gold. “The people are infinitely more Im portant than the gold. We have 112.000,000 of them, and of the best kind. "We have endless millions of acres of the finest lands In the world, in telligently cultivated. We have other endless millions still waiting to be cultivated. "We have barely touched the min erals, oil and other wealth under ground. All along the mountains that I have been passing for the last 10 days, nature has prepared deep canyons, natural reservoirs for stor ing water, more valuable than any gold mines, and the water Is there. Soon It will be harnessed, used for power, then used in irrigation. For every dollar that the United States now produces there is within clear sight the possibility of producing a thousand dollars. "This is no land for pessimists, not a good country “to sell short." as the 'ate J. Plerpont Morgan remarked. Restricting Immigration. "It is a country that needs work ers, anti It is a pity congress, influ ence-’ by men that misunderstand their own interests, haa been per Ruaded to shut out immigration that the people need, the right kind of whites from Europe. If that kind of Immigration in the past has made the country all that It is now, why would It not do more in the future? “The average man in the United States now earns five times as much as he could earn when the popula tion was 4,000,000. How can any man Imagine that more workers will hurt anybody, in a nation that needs good workers more than anything else? “The president's task is to keep the country prosperous, and make It eafe. Allowing able men to go ahead and make a good profit, by building up and creating prosperty is perhaps the best way to continue good times and make them better. We live in the era of private enterprise and gigantic industrial units. With proper supervision and protection of public interest, these methods of pro duction should be encouraged. “Any Interference should be con structive, not meddlesome, and hampering. The Important thing in Africa is that lions be killed off. So they give 50 fat black wives to the man that will kill a lion. No one should begrudge the unnecessary wives. “Here the important thing is that j Beaton Drug Co. | i( Fifteenth and Farnam Streets | V- « | Appropriate Christmas Gifts f Specially Priced !

So we give 50 fat golden millions to the man that can build them up. Nobody should object to that. “The good citizen grieves because keen witted men seize upon public properties, and exploit them for their own benefit. But there is nothing to worry about, time adjusts every thing. "Give Light," Dante. “Dante said, ‘Give light and the people will find their own way.’ “Here in the United States, with light, which means the best possible public school education, plus pros perity which means leisure for think ing, the people will find their own way. Nobody need worry about them. “What should really belong to the people will belong to them in time. God Almighty did not send the water of the Great Lakes tumbling over a stone precipice at Niagara to make a few men rich, and harness millions on a small wage basis to machinery. Niagara will still run down toward the ocean long after mistakes have been adjusted. The main thing is not to be in too much of a hurry. At tend to each job as it comes along. The Job now is industrial construc tive work. “In President Coolldge's task, the work even more important than help ing constructive business men, of watching and checking grafters, is the preparation of national defense. “A Washington dispatch in The Omaha Bee quoted him as opposed to “competition in armament.” That is wise. He is opposed to cOmpetl/ tion, but unquestionably his message to congress on the subject of flying machines shows that he intends to put this country beyond competition in the air. “Under the modern system, fight ing airplanes are carried ‘knocked down’ in gigantic freight ships. They are lifted to the deck by hydraulic elevators, the parts rapidly assem bled, and off they fly, one after the other. “A couple of great freighters from Asia could anchor in the night 100 miles off the coast of California, as safe from observation as a turtle floating on the Pacific, and 10 hours later the flying machines released from those ships, flying far up above any danger of attack by anti aircraft guns, could be dropping bombs and poison gas on the cit yof Omaha. “Distance no longer exists as a reality in wTar. Chicago is as much open to attack today as New Tork city. It's a more convenient spot to attack, for the fliers, after dropping their poison gas and bombs, would need only to fly acroas Lake Michi gan to Canadian territory, descend and be Interned, according to inter national law. after having destroyed perhaps half the property and thou sands of the citizens of a great city. About Regulating Marriage. "Concerning the regulation of mar riage, childless or other wise. Dr. Pinto's suggestions are interesting and based of course on earnest thought and profound learning. "But, there ara various sides to the suggestion that marriages should be annuied that are childrness after two years? "First, some Important children have been born after their parents had been childless much longer than two yjafs. Second, when a man and woman marry they have something else In mind besides establishing a child fac tory. And a woman la something be sides a child manufacturing machine. Creating children Is the most Impor tant work she can do, as regards the future. She has other work to do in the present. "Marriage la the training school of civilization. It teaches men decency, responsibility, and devotion. I,paving Mothers Dip. "A nation that will let thousands of mothers die In childbirth every year for lack of attention, a govern ment that will send an expert from the agricultural department to assist at the birth of a litter of pigs, and will not send a midwife to help a hu man mother in her labor, ought not to get too much excited about the number of children born. "To suggest that the childless mother and husband should he separ ated, against their will, or against the will of either one of them is cruelty. You breed sheep and cat tle in that way, not human beings. Should Wives Work. "Fourth, as to women working for a living after they are married. That Is the business of the wife and of the husband. No woman should be com pelled to work for a living, before or after marriage. A country as rich as this, with men as Intelligent, should make It unnecessary for women to work or remain Bingle. "Instead of trying to annul child less marriages, why not pay a sub sidy to the mother of many chil dren. Paying a subsidy to a woman trying to make a success of her family, would certainly be no more preposterous than a subsidy for a pri vate Individual trying to make a suc cess of a steamship line—and that is often suggested. Childbirth is War. "We pay, wisely and justly, pen sions to men that come back from the war, wounded or unwounded, whether they need the money or not. "Anybody who has witnessed a childbirth knows that the woman who has produced five children has gone through five desperate battles, and that the average man In her place, would never have gone through an other, after the first."

BURGESS Th® curious to iratlfy You first will have to satisify. —P®t®r Rabbit. Curiosity Satisfied. Peter Rabbit sat at the top of a steep bank of the Laughing Brook In the Green Forest, as puzzled a Rabbjt as ever had lived. He followed a queer trail In the snow. It ended In a long furrow from where Peter was sitting straight down the steep bank to the water. Peter hadn't the least Idea who had made that queer trail. So he sat there, staring all about rather foolishly, and now and then srratch lng a long ear with a long hind leg. “Hello, Peter Rabbit! Isn't this great weather? Don’t you just love It? I do," said a voice. Peter stared Around, everywhere but In the right direction. Finally he just happened to look down In the black, cold water of the Laughing Brook. There in the very middle of It he saw a brown head, with a pair of bright eyes full of mischief look ing up st him. “Little Joe Otter!" cried Peter. "Goodness, how you startled me! I couldn't tell where that voice came from. Yes, this Is fine weather. I like HI -n it, too. But I hope It won't get any colder." "1 don't care how cold It gets," de clared Little Joe Otter. "By the way, | what brings you over here to the Laughing Brook?" That reminded Peter of the queer r trail that had so puzzled him. "Some one, I haven't the least idea who, has been traveling about in the Green Forest and has left the queer est trail I’ve ever seen. In parts of "Little Joe Otter.” fried Pete; "goodnees, how you startled me!” It are no footprints at all. There Is Juat a long furrow in the snow. Here is one of Its furrows right down this hank.” Little Joe Otter's bright eyes m " ■■ ■ ■ —— --« =b___Hgj__m He is Certain to Appreciate a Manhattan Shirt i For a Christmas Gift Our showing is pleas ingly broad, every thing in both madras and silks.

"That's what I want to know," de dared Peter. "But I guess I'll have to keep on waiting, for 1 don't see that trail coming out of the water anywhere." "I'll have to have a little closer look at that. I’ll Join you in a min ute," aald Little Joe Otter. He swam swiftly up the Laughing Brook and came out of the water where the bank was low. Then he made his way around to where Peter was sitting. "That Is a queer trail," said he, trying to keep his eyes from twinkling. “It looks to me as if some one had alld down there. I tell you what, Peter, lets slide down too, and see how it seems.” "No, thank you," replied Peter promptly, and backed away In a rather undignified manner. Just looking at that cold black water made him chilly. "Oh, come on, Peter! It ie the greatest fun in the world. cried ( little Joe. and, giving a quick hard push with his hind feet, he glided ^ right down that furrow, flat on his' stomach, straight Into the water. Peter looked over at the trail Little Joe had made getting up there. Then in a flash he understood. That trail which had puzzled him so was made by little Joe Otter himself. He had made those queer furrows by slid ing on his stomach In the same way that he had gone down that bank. Peter gave a happy little sir«h. His curiosity was satisfied.
