hp, Instead of Down.
If e Like Strange Things.
Our Filipino Gift.
Busy Socialists.
ARTHUR BRISBANE^
Something happened in the
stock market yesterday, and this
morning bears are sad. No par
ticularly good news, yet stocks
suddenly changed their mind and
went up, instead of down.
It is always dangerous to sell
' this country short, as Morgan said.
It is also dangerous to “go long”
just at present. The wise man in
vests, but doesn't gamble. As one
wise advertiser says, there is a ’
great difference between making
a1 fortune and building a fortune.
Strange things interest us more
than things important. This will
interest many. Chloroform is used
to hurry the blooming of roses.
When they have been chloro
formed, rose plants think they
have had a winter's sleep and
start producing buds and flowers
again. Plants, like the animals,
are our humble brothers and sis
ters. They suffer and enjoy as
we do, to a less extent.
As you read of roses influenced
by drug’s you also read the grand
jury’s report of the Philadelphia
penitentiary. “A disgrace to the
city and state,” the grand jury
calls it. In that prison the drug
business is well organized. So is
the making of whisky within the
prison. Chloroform makes the
rose think it has been asleep. Mis
erable human beings long for the
imitation sleep that drugs bring.
Mrs. Medill McCormick, wife of
the senator, daughter of Mark
Hanna, is the inventor of the
chloroform rose idea. That will
also interest you.
If the Filipinos break loose
from the United States, they will
take some good things with them.
In the Philippine islands are
8,174 schools, including 7,641 pub
lic schools, established by this
ilountry. The rest are schools
maintained at priyate expense.
The Catholics, as usual, provide
most of them, 77 per cent against
8, per cent Protestant, the rest
regular.
One million nine hundred and
four thousand four hundred and
5eventy-two young Filipinos attend
the public gchoolg, taught by
24,975 teachers. All that means
progress.
German socialists demand that
workmen be paid in gold, as the
mark drops below Polish money
;n pursuit of its little friend, the
ruble.
Socialists will have to be con
tent with something else. Ger
many might as well try to pay a
German workman in pink-eyed
unicorns as in gold. There isn't
any. We have it.
Two of the ablest American
socialists, Hillquit of New York,
and Representative Berger of Mil
waukee, attending the socialist
convention in Germany are, as Mr.
Dorgan would put it, “as busy
as a one-eyed dog in a sausage
shop.”
Once they had nothing to at
tack and defeat but Karl Marx's
old enemy “capital.’’ Now they
must hold back the communists
while they decide how capital can
he pulled down.
On their European travels
Messrs. Berger and Hillquit will
not go to Russia, for that nation
which professes to adore Ka»f
Marx, would probably put both of
them in jail.
Old “capital” finds his comfort
ih the fact that where a few of
his enemies are gathered they al
ways begin by fighting each other
and end by hating each other
much more than they hate him.
The world is surprised to hear
that verse of the 28th chapter of
First Samuel—who said to his
sei vants:
■ “Seek me a woman that hath
a fimiliar spirit, that. 1 may go to
her, and enquire of her.” And his
servants said to him, Behold, there
is a woman that hath a familiar
spirit at En-Dor.’’
The lady at En-Dor, when she
found that Saul, whom she rec
ognized, was not laying a trap
for her, “brought up” Samuel,
and he and Saul had a conversa
tion.
Alexander the Great went a
long way into the desert, trying to
find that same witrh, supposed to
l>o immortal. The wisest of us
are only a few centuries removed
from belief in witches and witch
doctors, and in troubles we go
back to the old ideas.
Hunger is a dictator that will
be obeyed. While the allies are
wondering what they can carve
out of Germany, hunger is stir
ring up red revolution. German
police are shot by German work
men at Essen. Anil that German
question may be settled by an
imitation of the Russian situation
_which would mean that the
amount of future reparations “in
gold" would be exactly zero.
The heathen Chinee is still full
of guile; at. least foreign diplomats
in China think so. They say that
hitth Chinese officials planned the
kidnaping of American and Brit
ish subjects by bandits. It's prob
ably part of a political plot. But
it would take a Chinaman to un
derstand that. plot.
tCor»rl*bt, H-* t
New Torv Cabinet
*
Approved by King;
Cecil Only Recruit
Lord Robert (riven Seat as
Lord of Privy Seal—Regi
nald MeKenna Given
Appointment.
By I nivrrul Service.
London, May 25.—Premier Baldwin
has named, and King George has ap
proved. the new tory cabinet in which
Lord Robert Cecil as lord of the privy
seal, is the sole recruit. Lord Rol*
ert's prestige comes from his family
name and his identification with the
league of nations.
It was announced that Reginald
McKenna, who held high cabinet ap
pointments under Premier Asquith as
a liberal, will join Baldwin's cabinet.
A London city seat will be found for
McKenna, and In two or three months
he will be made chancellor of the ex
chequer.
The delay in his acceptance has
been due solely to the condition of
his health, as following his serious
illness his doctors advise further rest.
McKenna was at one time regarded
as a possible prime minister and ear
ly in his parliamentary career he was
a friend of Sir Charles Dlllke and
other extreme radicals. Baldwin's
friends believe he has scored heavily
in securing a financier who has the
confidence of Lombard street.
Kir Robert Horne peremptorily de
clined the chancellorship of the ex
chequer, and so Premier Baldwin has
decided to also hold that important
post for the present. Austen Cham
berlain has concluded to remain out
side the breastworks, temporarily at
least.
Premier Baldwin exhausted every
effort to Induce the "stray sheep"—
Sir Robert Horne, Austen Chamber
lain. Lord Birkenhead, Sir Laming
Worthlngton-Evans and others—to re
turn to the tory fold, but his labor
was fruitless.
Outside of Lord Robert Cecil, who
has taken the post reserved for Cham
berlain. the only change from the
Law cahinet is the appointment of I.
C. C. Davidson, secretary to the for
mer premier, as chancellor of the
duchy of I^tncaster, and the shifting
of Sir William Joynson Hicks from
tlie postmaster generalship, which is
left vacant, to the financial secretary
ship of the treasury.
River Dam Saves Yearly
Its Cost of Construction
Keokuk, la.. May 25.—Six million
tons of coal are saved annually by
the operation of the Keokuk dam in
the Mississippi river here, according
to an estimate by the operators of
the dam.
Power hidden under the surface of
the Mississippi and harnessed by the
dam is lighting stores and running
street cars in St..Louis and a great
many smaller towns in Iowa, Illinoia
and Missouri. Miles upon miles of
cables and conduits run out from the
dam in almost every direction.
Accepting the average price of coal,
it can readily be seen that the saving
in one year of this fuel would more
than pay for the entire coet of the
dam, which was placed at J29.000.000
in 1913. when it was completed.
Cartridge in Lighted Pipe

Kpfdiil Illupfttch to The Omaha B**.
Shenandoah, la., May 25.—Lige
Kearns of Thurman forgot a 22 cart
ridge and left It In his pocket with the
smoking tobacco, loose. He filled his
pipe, struck a match and found him
self the victim of an explosion that
caused a severe wound In his fore
head. The metal part of the shell
was driven into his fare.
Find Body in Lake at Chicago
Chicago, May 25.—The body of a
man was taken from Lake Michigan
at the foot of Twenty-seventh street
today.
In the clothing watt found a card
hearing the name of Dr. A. Teaselle,
United building, Los Angeles.
The body waa clad in working cloth
ing, including a soft striped shirt
and an overall Jacket.
The body was that of a man about
5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing about
200 pounds, with sandy hair and a
large bald spot. It apparently had
been In the water for several months,
possibly all winter.

McAdoo Tosses

Political Ring
Fortner Serretary of Treasury
Soliciting Support of Lead
ers for Nomination at
Democratic Convention.
By Vnlverf.fi! Service.
Washington, Slay 20.—William
Gibbs SlcAdoo, former secretary of
the treasury and son-in-law of Wood
row Wilson, came to Washington to
attend the unveiling of the Alexander
Hamilton statue and remained long
enough to become a full fledged can
didate for the presidency.
Conferences held here during Hie
week have convinced McAdoo that he
has a good chance to win the demo
cratic nomination.
The uncertainty as to whether or
not he will cast his liat into the V924
ling has been dissipated by the fact
that McAdoo himself, in conferences
with various state leaders, has
solicited the support of their respec
tive delegations in the convention and
has made open overtures for the
nomination.
Formal announcement of Ills candi
dacy and the selection of a campaign
manager and headquarters for the
campaign are expected to be made
within a few days. Daniel C. Roper,
who was internal revenue commis
sioner under McAdoo, probably will be
picked to manage the campaign. He
was very active in behalf of McAdoo
at the San Francisco convention.
An important meeting of the Mc
Adoo supporters was held at a down
town hotel Thursday night. At this
conference reports were received from

Farmer*' Trouldc*
Oxer, Wall arc* Says
Washington. May 25.—The worst of
11lie farmers’ troubles are over and
I agricultural conditions nre better
than at any time in the last two
j years. Secretary Wallace told the mem
hers of the American Wholesale
Grocers’ association.
The most marked improvement, he
said, lias been In the cotton-growing
state.-, and In the corn belt, lie said
ha looked for continueil improvement,
with the difference between the buy
ing power of the fanners' dollar and
that of other workers being steadily
reduced.
Charles W. Dunn of New York,
counsel for the American Specialty
Manufacturers' association, advocated
legislation to overcome judicial de
cisions that "resale price maintenance
contracts are illegal" and to permit
the manufacturer of a standard ar
ticle to determine a standard price
for it.

Greek Leaders
Send I1! inialuni:
Situation Grave
Demand l urks Renounce All
War Claims by Satur
day Night at
Lausanne.
By lilternal inmtl Newa Sertli f.
Constantinople, May 25.—The near
inst situation was critical today with
the constant threat of war between
Greece and Turkey. The menace has
been aggravated hy the ultimatum of
the Athens government demanding
that the Turks at Lausanne renounce j
all claims to war indemnity hy tomor
row night.
Thi* city is rife with mild rumors.'
One was that tlie Greek fleet was
cruising off the Dardanelles, but this
was denied by the British and French
commanders.
Additional British warcraft are com 1
ir<g to1 the Dardanelles.
An evidence of the tension was j
shown by a public statement issued by i
Bafat Pasha, commander of the Tur- J
kish troops In Thrace:
"Let us have war or peace at
cnee, with no further delay.”
The public excitement was height
ened hy news of the blowing up of [
the bridge over the Maritza river con-1
neeting Adrianople with Karagatch..
The Maritza river forms the Turco-'
I Greek boundary in Thrace, the Turks
having Adrlanople and the Greek*
Karagateh.
The Greeks charged tliflt the Turks
blew up the bridge to sever Coinrnu
ideation, Turkish officials claim that
the structura was struck by light
ning.
A high Turkish official made the
following explanation to Intemation
si News Service:
"The river under the bridge was
mined as a war precatulon to pre
rent Greeks from crossing into Adrl
finopie If hostilities liegan. Wednee
day a thunderstorm came up. Light
ning set fire to the bridge and some
of the mines exploded. It cannot be
considered an act of war."
It is certain that the first blast of
hostilities will bring a great Knnal
ist army Into Constantinople. Mus
