    A Dull Love Cult.
3 Newspaper Principles.
Germany’s Man Loss. .
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
Charles Garland, a young gentle
man who inherited a fortune, de
cided that he was a philosopher
and gave the money away, has of
ficially returned to his young wife
and two babies. He had been
spending several months “with a
platonic love cult.’’
With another young man and a
young woman, he lived on a farm.
Garland and, the young mart slept
in a chicken coop. The young
woman slept in a small shed that
Garland had built.
Very dull “love cult” you will
say. Mr. Garland could have done
all that 100,000 years ago. Why
throw' away plumbing, steam heat
and the other benefits of civiliza
tion?
The real philosopher is he that
lakes human life as he finds it,
utilizing the bow and arrow or the
machine gun, the ox cart or the
flying machine, to increase his ef
ficiency, and trying to add a little
to the store of accumulated knowl
edge.
Secretary Hughes, who probably
handed the world court to Presi
dent Harding, assures you that go
ing into the world court doesn’t
put the United States into the
league of nations.
Lord Robert Cecil, who knows
more about the league of nations
than Mr. Hughes, says the world
court is part of the league of na
tions. If we go into it we go into
part of the league of nations.
Newspaper men in Washington,
after deep pondering, announce
that “truth, decency, fairness” are
the cardinal principles of journal
ism. All those things are impor
tant. But the cardinal principles
of journalism are fearlessness,
energy, originality.
Newspapers die out because
proprietors or their heirs, softened
by age or money, lose energy. They
die because their owners lose cour
age, or originality, or both.
A newspaper cannot succeed :n
a big way unless its readers feel
intense interest as they read. They
cannot feel intense interest unless
the editor feels intense interest,
in making his paper.
Energy, courage, originality,
made Bennett, Greely, Dana and
Pulitzer. Mention an editor that
thp big interests know they can
neither intimidate nor cajole and
you find energy, courage, origi
nality.
Final war statistics show that
Germany lost 1,846,293 men. Each
man in earning power, was worth
at least $10,000. So loss of men i
would be, in money, about eight
een thousand, five hundred million
dollars.
' That is more than Germany
could pay now. in reparations, even
if it wanted to. But Germanv lost
more than eighteen hundred thou
sand men. or eighteen and a half
billions of dollars. It lost for the
time, its place in Europe, and as
the French prove, its power to re
sist invasion.
However, it gained a republican
form of government, got rid of
military autocracy, and in the long
run the war may pay. Autocracy
had to go some day, and defeat
was necessary to get rid of it.
An endurance contest, “a knit
ting marathon” was organized at
Atlantic City. A girl 12 years old
is allowed to compete, knitting all
day and all night. The father or
guardian of such a child would he
ashamed to race a colt 6 months
old. hut allows a girl of 12 to break
down her vitality in a meaningless
contest.
Some society for the protection
of children should he interested
in that.
Buildings and other things wear
out quickly in cities. Saturday
night New York’s big Hippodrome
dosed its doors for the last time.
Only 18 years old, that biggest of
New York's amusement houses is
to be torn down to make room for
mmething else. Madison Square
Garden would have gone the same
way long ago had not prizefighting
saved it and made it profitable.
Somebody will have another
good idea and build something else
for the Hippodrome’s site, and in
18 years, probably less, that will
be torn clown.
Those now living remember
when they used to go “uptown”
to Union Square—which is at
Fourteenth street—“to play in the
country.” A. T. Stewart moved
front Chambers street by the City
hall, up to Ninth street "to move
uptown once and for all.”
New York is an aggregation of
cities, now 8,000.000 people, some
lime to he 20,000,000. Nohady
knows where the center of the city
will he. All the more opportunity
for intelligent real estate invest
ments in New York and other
growing cities, big and little.
Daylight savings has begun at i
Sunday morning in certain places,
rlow much might bn done with the
millions of hours that will he saved
every day by starting the day ear
lier and finishing it earlier?
How much might be Hone with
those hours, and how little will he
done. Man is ruled by habit and
the habit most easily acquired is
"taking the easiest way.”
Mr. Johnson of Florida, state
senator and spokesman for the
governor, tells Florida’s senate
not to abolish the whipping of con
victs. ‘‘If you can’t punish pris
>ners, you might as well stop con
■icting them,” he said, and added,
‘some senpj-ors who talk about
abolishing whipping would join a
ynchlng party with pleasure. So
kould women.”
k All that is interesting, but the
L question is this. Where do they
j^^ind. among the high-spirited,
J^P'hivalrous gentlemen of Florida,
nen that are willing, for a monthly
wage, to apply a whip to the hacks
of defenseless men that cannot re
turn the blows? It ought to be
difficult to find a sufficient supply
of cowards of that strine in a state
of such noble manhood. •

rion of women's dress, took charge
of the program. The opening address
was made by Mayor Dahlman.
"Color Harmony in Dress." was
Miss Hansen's topic.
"Women can took attractive, no
matter whether they are tall or
short, or whether their complexion
Is sallow or otherwise. It is all a
question of color and kind of dress,
and it is an art that is not hard to
learn,” she said.
Advocates "Clean Colors.”
“The most Important of nil Is proper
dress in the home, especially in the
kitchen. Too many women buy house
dresses of colors that hide dust and
dirt. I am an advocate of house
dresses that show dirt and dust. I
am for ‘clean color’ house dresses.
Then the housewife always will he
on the alert to keep the house clean.”
Colors for every occasion of the day
from getting-up time in the morn ng
to the dinner-dance at night were ex
plained in detail by Miss Hansen.
She used living models.
Miss Hansen has given similar lec
tures to groups of women In nearly
every hig city in the country. Site
was scheduled to speak before the
Omaha Woman's club at i.30 yester
day afternoon.
Why Men l<eaic Home.
Besides Miss Hansen. Hunt Cook,
expert, on home furnishings, lectured
at the Better Homes exposition. He
told "why some men leave home.” His
subject was. "The Livable iving
Room.”
"The homes exposition will l>e more
than a series of exhibits showing how
to furnish a home properly so that
it can have the maximum comfort
and beauty at the minimum expense,”
said Mr. Cook. "The Better Horr.es
exposition is a college for home bet
terment. Here all those who love the
home will receive practical ideas and
education along these lines.
".Vo matter whether the person
lives in a small home or a mansion,
or even an apartment, the Better
Homes exposition lias a message.”
Thirty-Five Spacious Rooms.
The Auditorium has been divided
into 35 spacious rooms. Each room
is an ideal one. Proper dining room
arrangement is emphasized. Model
kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms

Civil W arfare
Between China
Factions Feared
Intervention by Foreign Diplo
mats to Prevent Conflict
Urged by Advisor to
Li Yuan-Hung.
Br Asam-tated Pre««.
Pekin, April 30,—Intervention by
foreign diplomatic representative* to
prevent impending civil war, which
many observers believe is about to
break out between the Fengtien fac
tion, h'-'ided by Chan Tso-Lin, dictator
of Manchuria, and the Chihli party,
led by Tsao Kun. was urged by Len
nox Simpson, adviser to President Li
Yuan-Hung.
Emissaries from President Li have
been assured by Chang most emphati
cally that he has no warlike inten
tion and the chief executive, it's re
ported, has repeated this statement
•it the Manchurian war lord's to Tsao
Kun, with the recommendation that
Tsao cease his recent menacing troop
‘movements.
Mr. Simpson, drawing his deduc
tions from nightly movements of
Chihli troops northward through
Pekin, credits the belief expressed
elsewhere that another clash is im
minent between the two powerful
forces which last year battled for con
trol of Pckn^. when Chihli won and
Chang, with his defeated Fengtienite-*.
retired to his Manchurian stronghoid.
Mr. Simpson recommends that the
foreign diplomats demand pledges
that China adhere to trade treaty
stipulations, which include demilitari
zation of the Mukden railway in con
formity with the protocol of 1901 and
consultation of the wishes of the
Chinese people through the president,
the provincial assemblies, trade guilds
and chambers of commerce.
