Who Is the Enemy?
Don’t Worry Too Much.
Earth's Two Richest.
Sons of the Brotherhood.
ARTHUR BRISBANE
The great war that was to end
all wars has left everybody more
anxious than ever.
The British empire will again
gather its prime ministers from all
over the world, Canada, Australia,
South Africa, etc., to discuss the
defense of the empire.
What defense is necessary?
What attack is feared? None from
this country, surely. None from
Russia, 0t least for the present, or
Germany or Scandinavia, or Italy,
or Spain.
Can it be that England is tak
ing seriously the fact that its
navy, which once held the world in
awe, is now a joke? The French
air navy that could destroy Lon
don, Manchester and Liverpool all
in the same afternoon, has become
the real world’s power.
“Bolshevism, right in Washing
ton, right in among government
employes. Tapers seized that say
Lenin and Trotzjiy are too alow
and mild and that America wants a
'luicker way to get rid of capital
ism.’'
That’s part of a horrid tale offi
cially unfolded. But don't let it
turn your hair gray.
Some mechanics in New York
get $16 a day for work once glad
ly done for $5. Mechanics in Chi
cago get, bonus included, as high
as $25 a day. So say contractors,
who have to take men away from
each other by bonus inducements.
You needn’t worry about bolshe
vism in this sort of country. Out
of 110.000,000 inhabitants more
than 109,000,000 want to continue
government as it is, improving it,
of course, if possible but not
changing it. This is the conserva
tive country of all the world, not
excepting Turkey. Industrial feud
alism , which socialists call ‘‘the
capitalist regime,” is here to stay,
many a year.
How Henry Ford would have
laughed, and Rockefeller, too, tf a
few years ago, when Ford was tin
kering at his first funny little car,
someope had said, “Henry, before
long, you and Rockefeller will be
the world's two richest men.”
They are the world's two richest
men today. Ford, the Rrobdigna
gian shopper, has just offered $90,
000.000 for the Virginia railway.
That seems a great deal, but he
could add it to his net income in a
year by raising the price of his
i-ars $90 and have enough left over
to buy another little railroad.
Mr. Rockefeller yesterday
bought the Euclid Avenue Baptist
church jn Cleveland for $830,000.
That sum would once have sounded
quite respectable. Now it sounds
like a peanut
Locomotive engineers are not
as well paid as they should he,
considering the responsibility that
rests upon them, and their high
average of ability, Out they are
well paid, as workers go.
These locomotive engineers
prove that good wages are more
important to the nation at large
than to the employes. Consider
this fact. Eighty per cent of all
the children of 90,000 locomotive
drivers get a “higher education.”
Thousands of engineers’ sons are
sent to college with their fathers
hard-earned wages, and the broth
erhood maintains a department of
education in the nation for its
members. You realize what that
means to the country’s future.
An interesting murder drags
along in New York. A young man,
formerly a soldier, is found shot
dead. Another young man calmly
admits that he did the killing, say
ing the dead man threatened and
blackmailed him.
The dead man is buried, the man
that killed him is free, and his
lawyers are restraining by injunc
tion officials that want to find out
what telegrams he was sending and
getting before he did the killing,
to which he had confessed.
Of the two men, one hadn’t a
dollar, the other is the son of a
man with millions. It is hardly
necessary to tell you that the man
without a dollar is the dead one.
If he had done the killing, he
wouldn’t be at liberty, and no law
yers would be getting injunctions
for him against state officials.
That’s the kind of a thing that
might breed bolshevism, except for
the fact that bolshevism won’t
grow in this climate—at least not
in this country^
The long distance distancing
“dancing record” is again broken.
Miss Alma Cummings danced for
60 consecutive hours. She wore
soft slippers, three pairs of stock
ings to save her feet, and now
challenges the world.
The interesting thing about the
cruel waste of energy is the fact
that it is a mental and nerve feat.
The muscles do not get tired. Vi ith
a galvanic battery you can make
the muscles of a frog do a thou
sand times as much work as the
frog itself could do, and the
muscle is rone the worse.
It is the brain that gets tired,
tired of sending through the “ef
ferent” nerveB, orders that the
muscles obeyi .
The brain gets tired. Every time
that dancing girl moved feet, toes,
hips, hands, shoulders, the brain
had to make many separate efforts.
It is probable tliat in such mental
nervous energy, women excel men.

Topic of Fight
—
Lively Row Started in Lower
House of Legislature by
Attempt to Limit Edu*
rational Levy.
Special Dispatch to Tho Omtht B»f.
Lincoln. April 11.—The lower house
adjourned tonight In the midst of A
lively row over a bill aimed at reduc
tion of the cost of education in towns
ranging from 1,000 In population to
the metropolitan cities.
The bill, sponsored by Speaker
Mathers, put a limit of 12 mills for
operation of schools. If it is impossi
ble to operate schools on this limit
the bill permits calling of an election
to raise the limit to 16 mills on actual
valuation of taxable property.
The speaker declared that towns in
this class at present should have regu
lation on school egpendltures the
same as towns and school districts
under 1,000 population and city school
board* in the metropolitan class.
Wants Expense* Reduced.
"I don’t wish to be put In the at
titude of attempting to hurt our
schools, but I do think we should cut
school expenses ns well as state, coun
ty and city expenses,'' the speaker
said.
Wilson of Chadron, a teacher, led
the fight against the bill. He read
figures to show that in certain towns
the amount of taxable property was
less than In other towns with the
same population.
’’One town could stand such a law
and another couldn’t," Wilson said.
Numerous members were on their
feet to join In the debate and an ad
journment waa forced until tomor
row.
Throughout the day, the house
showed evidence of having been on a
raw meat diet, so to speak, as it put
the ax to a number of bills of state
wide importance.
Kill Bank Bill.
One to meet the ax was a bill by |
Keck of polk, to limit Interest rates i
on deposits in state banks to 4 per
cent.
Another was the Lamh short ballot
1)111 which would have cut the state
ballot to candidates for governor,
lieutenant governor and state auritor.
Tills hill. If enacted into law, would
have been in the form of a constitu
tional amendment to he aubmitted to
the people In 1014.
Tatmb asserted that even experi- ,
enced politicians do not know all of
the present candidates and their real ;
merits, lie asserted that the people i
could be given an opportunity to study
this bill In the next two years, and it
would do no harm to vote on It. The
vote was 54 to 50 to kill the hill.
Many members asserted that some
time such a form of government would
be accepted, but at present the people
were not ready for It. AH other state
officers would he appointed under
terms of the Lamb bill.
Advance Omaha Bill.
The Fmith hill, rewriting and clari
fying the law- pertaining to] use of
Omaha streets hy the tram company,
was advanced to third reading with
an amendment attached hy Klsasser
stating that "under no circumstance*
could any provision of this bill glvo
a street railway company a perpetual
franchise.”
The house advanced senate file 9
to third reading. This bill pertains to
employment of county farm agents.
I'nder its provisions, a petition with
from 100 to 600 names of farmers, de
pending upon the population of the
county, must he filed with the county 1
hoard in order to get a farm agency.
If a like number sign a remonstrance
against such procedure, the board
must submit the proposition to a vote
of the people.
Another bill passed provides for
transferring women In the state peni
tentiary to the home for women at
York.

Measure Fought by Allopathic
Physicians for 12 Years
Makes Progress.
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Lincoln, April IT.—The lower house
today advanced to third reading tlie
bill to establish chairs of eclectic
medicine and homeopathy in the Uni
versity of Nebraska medical college
at Omaha.
Followers of eclectic medicine and
homeopathy have been trying to get
this law passed for the last six legis
lative sessions. It has been fought
by the allopathic physicians.
An amendment Introduced by Bald
rlge of Omaha and adopted provides
that students may elect whether to
take the eclectic and homeopathic
courses or not.
The bill must still pass the house
and senate and be signed before It
can become law.
The house killed another American
ization bill introduced by J. Reid
Green of Lincoln. This would have
made It impossible for new electors
after 1926 to vote unless they could
read and write English.

Bridge Appropriation.
—
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Lincoln, Aprile 11.—The blanket ap
propriation bill as accepted by the
house and recommended to the senate
Is more than one quarter of a mil
lion dollars less than the appropria
tions recommended by Governor
Bryan.
The test vote was taken Tuesday when j
the house cast its hallot on the rec
ommendations made nearly a week
ago. While in more than 75 per cent
of the instances (he house defer
red to the recommendstions of the
governor in certain specific cases, it
refuses to abide by his Judgment.
In each Instance, except one, the
house voted by the necessary threc
flfthi vote to override the governor's
budget. Always In overriding the
governor's recommendations the votes
of democrats were necessary to over
come his recommendations and every
time these votes were forthcoming.
The big fight proved to be on the
$200,000 appropriation for state aid
bridges. On motion of O'Gara. demo
crat. this appropriation was boosted
in committee of the whole which mere
ly called for a majority vote to $3uO,
000 In an effort to insure building
of the Yankton (S. L.) bridge across
the Missouri.
O'Gara Inaiated that the $300,000 '
recommended a week ago. remain
Intact. However, the republics ni over
rode hia demand and on final roll
call the necesary three-fifths majority
refused to either follow the governor
or his democratic opponent and cast
its hallot in favor of a compromise
$250,000 for state aid bridges.
As the house voted Tuesday the bill
will go to the senate. The appro
priation bloc will carry lta fight to
the aenate. If it wins there the ap
propriations under dispute will go to I
conference and it will be a case of:
endurance until he or the senate !
weakens.
The house differed with the gov- j
ernor on appropriations for the stole
fair, the state railway commission and
the legislative reference committee.
Here are those who voted for ap
propriatlon as enumerated:
For $50,000 for snlarie* and wages;
$10,000 for maintenance and $30,000
for extra help, traveling expense and
rate in vast lent Ion for railway colli
