Today Poor, Gentle Maniacs. What Do You Read? Unions in Capitalism. The Cheapest Costs Most. By ARTHUR BRISBANE >«■-----/ The maniacs of Ward’s Island have tried six times within a few weeks to set their asylum on fire. “Poor, crazy things,” says, everybody,” can’t they realize that they would be victims of the flames?” Yes, and what about the other maniacs, called states men, in Europe, that constantly set their places on fire with war? Can’t they realize that they must be victims of the war? And what about gentle maniacs over here that would force us, through a league of nations, or a world court, to underwrite and be come responsible for Europe’s war fires? How well you cure them? “We must join the league of nations,” or “we must become part of a world court,” say the gentle, sentimental maniacs of this country. Why “must?” Is there anything in particular the matter with you now’ in not safe, in your asylum, with an ocean on either side? You are not’in the league or the world court now. Is anything dreadful happening to you on that account? Be grate ful for comfort and safety, pros perity and freedom from war complications. Don't insist on setting fire to your nice asylum, you poor things. “Tell me what you read and I’ll tell you what you are.” Nothing much in that saying. Darwin read fairy stories in the evening to rest his mind from the study of earth worms, or the problem “how did the eye first start?” Fairy Rories did not tell what he wal You cannot judge Americans by the fact that 99 per cent of them will read with interest news appearing under headlines such as these: Jack Johnson, the negro fighter is asked to fight in Havana, and fined $2 for speeding. The young girls of Vassar college are forbidden to go shop ping on roller skates. They used to skate two miles to the store, then toddle around the shop on skates. “Undignified,” the faculty says. “Very cunning,” the average man will say. De Valera will soon he caught. He is hiding, in a cave. Free State soldiers are trying to got him out with smoke bombs. Barring a new Irish party, the Free State will soon have peace and only Ulster to worry about. An Italian peasant shoots a priest for refusing him absolu tion. Five Russian officers executed for spying. A high court decides that a city cannot sue a newspaper for libel, no matter what the news paper says about the city. And finally, a witness testifies that a drugless healer combin ed much “petting and intimate affection” with healing processes. The “healer” replies with “God is love,” and what can you say to that? It is • good sign when labor unions enter “capitalistic” fields of effort. Recently unions have started banks and trust com panies. Locomotive engineers , build great office buildings and start several banks. Now the stationary engineers offer to buy three government vessels, to start a union owned steamship line. Their idea is to have eventually 110 vessels oper ating all over the world. Competing with capitalism will do the unions good, make them understand capital’s troubles, and enlighten them, from anouier angle, on various labor problems, “No big salaries for anybody,” the engineer* say. That sounds w^ll. But the engineers will discover that the cheapest thing they can get is the right man with the biggest salary, and the most costly thing is the wrong man, with the small salary. The dia mond that cuts your glass is cheaper, even by weight, than any other substance. The man that cuts through your problems is cheap whatever his price. Union wages were invented to protect muscle, not to limit brains, and that unions will know, after they have played capital’s game for awhile. President Harding has select ed six cities for his speaking tour. Big crowds will hear him gladly. But in addition to speaking in six placas, the president, a first class writer ought to write regu larly, for the newspapers. Repetition is reputation and this next campaign will be one of repetition. Henry Ford has 15,000 agents, all made rich by him, and all sub ject to his “recall.” They will be talking in 15,000 places, from now on, to people they know well, and talking steadily and that’s repetition for you. A curious thing about “a na tional election” is this: We talk, argue and talk, ami at last vote. Somebody is elected and no mat ter who it is, things go along about aa uaual and all the excite ment dies out until the next elec tion. Once elected, every victorious candidate is taken for granted; i nation like this is a huge ma ■hine, pushed along by its inward forces and it matters little who la chosen to wear the enaulets. rnpyrtght, m3.

J.lnooln, April 19.—Discovery today I that an important provision In the original banking bill, providing for ap polntment of a guaranty commission by the governor, had been left out, halted appointment of members of the commission by Governor Bryan. The bill, as originally drawn by the ! senate banking committee, provided) that no hunk which the guaranty commission takes over shall la- sold ; if the owners of the majority of the capital stock are not guilty of any criminal act and believe that the bank may become solvent within a year. .Somewhere during the time that I this bill was passing either the house i or the senate this provision was lost, j There is no official .record, however, to show that it was stricken out. Therefore. Governor Bryan an nounced today, hd will not appoint j the commission until he has communi cated with jhe house and senate and informed them of the error and in quiry made as to how It can be recti fied.

Forty New H-A-T-S Special Selling Friday Only— 1812 larnam The Inducement PRAY Offers the Women of Omaha There must always be some induce ment to gain a woman’s trade; it may be price, greater assortments to select from or a more friendly spirit of service. Price inducements are apt to be faulty; legitimate reductions no longer seem worth while. So it is seldom that reduced prices are used for our inducement. To give better service has long been a Pray policy. And to offer "every thing” in hosiery and silken under garments another. It doesn't mat ter where you make comparisons, you’ll always find Pray's Service far more friendly and the assortment of merchandise a decided advantage. Pray's “trade” has been built up on these policies. T h o u s a n d s of Omahans can give you their "rea sons” for our success, yet funda mentally they will all come under the heading of Service and Assort ment.
