T oday We Are Prosperous. Our Politicians Are Soft. The King Marries His Son. Convention for San Fran cisco. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Speaking, as you.may have been, about prosperity, consider this com parison. In 1922 Great Britain manufactured 40,000 automobiles. In 1922 the United States output was 3,000,000 cars. Automobiles owned in the state of Iowa, a really great state, could take the entire Iowa population motoring at the same time; every body, men, women, babies, without putting more than five pasengers in one car. Those figures mean real prosper ity. A nation with automobiles, compared to a nation lacking them, is like a nation of flying birds, com pared to a nation of creeping tur tles. Every month this nation pro duces more motor cars than the to tal number now existing in Great Britain. Think that over. We have here more than 10,000.000 cars—one for every 10 people. Britain has 314,769. The king and queen of England (other kings and queens don't in terest high-spirited Americans much) married off another son yesterday. The bride, formerly Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, was made a princess by the king’s favor. Now she is the fourth lady of Eng land—Queen Mary first; Alex andria, the king's mother, next; Princess Mary, the king’s daughter, third; Princess Elizabeth, fourth. What ambitious young American | girl will take third place now, and first place later by marrying the ! prince of Wales? Doesn’t it sound like a fairy tale? But the king and princes in derby hats, the two queens with modern | clothes and the princesses in sweat ! ers with short-legged terrier dogs following them, seem to lack the ancient flavor. What would Richard the P.ion hearted, or fat, powerful, domi nant Henry the Eighth, think of their successors in office—terror ized by labor members. Fleischhacker, Stanton Fremont Older, and others of the San Fran cisco fighters, say that San Fran cisco must have a national conven tion again in 1924, or better still, two, one republican, one demo cratic. It is probable that every demo cratic delegate of 1920 would like a return trip to San Francisco and there is no doubt that taking poli ticians out of their eastern nests and limitations, all across the con tinent, to the wonderful Pacific is just the education they need. It ought to make them realize that this is a nation worthy of some thing better than a peanut, hand picked candidate. When they do reach the Pacific, the political gentlemen should be taken along the coast the full 1.000 miles length of California, and on, as far north as the last foot of United States soil. Oregon and Washington would make the eastern district leader ask himself: “Is it posible for any country to be as great as this?’’ If you haven’t seen America V®t, '^Jiaas Urotftprs] NEW YORK OMAHA MINNEAPOLIS I The Customer’s Satisfaction Must Be Complete!

There is a great deal of it. Sugar still climbs higher. And the newspapers representing gam | biers in foodstuffs tell Attorney General Daugherty: “If you inter fere with sugar gambling, you’ll close the sugar exchange, and then sugar will jump from 10 cents to 20 cents a pound.’’ It is a defiant statement that the gamblers are j more powerful than the govern ment. The prices will tell. England does not exactly like Russia’s government,- her rulers, her executions of clergymen—but all that must not interfere with business. You read that President Harding has ordered 500 refugees ! admitted to the United States. Other nations refused to take them in because they had taken up arms against Russia’s established gov ernment. At the same time you^rcad that ] England has established a regular flying machine service from Lon don to Moscow via Berlin. Leaving England after break fast, the traveler will dine in Ber lin that day. Flying time from London to Mos cow is to be 36 hours. London to Berlin fare $30. All that means a good deal to the thoughtful owner of railroad stocks. No wear and tear on rail or wheel, with flying machines, no track walkers. (Copyright, 1923.)

Civic Bodies in Plea for 50-50 Auto Tax License Bill Omaha civic bodies are carrying on ' a hard fight to pull Senate Kile 202 out of the sifting committee of the house so that members of the house can go on record. The bill would give Omaha half of the auto license money of Douglas county, which totals ' about $200,000.

More than $168,000 of the auto tax fund wasn’t even touched last year. Douglas county already | has voted $3,000,000 worth of bonds to pave more than 100 miles of Douglas county roads.
