What About the U. S?
We Are the Conserva
tives.
Mr. Ford Is Uncertain.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE
The president is better, sleep
ing well, “asks for the newspa
pers.” All serious cause for
anxiety seems to be removed. That
is the day’s best news.
Senator Underwood, able man,
with extremely and unusually
prosperous supporters* tells the
legislature of his state that he will
accept the democratic nomination.
He hopes the democratic con
vention will have courage to face
the international situation, and
says we must “aid Europe.”
Senator Underwood is not the
first, second or third presidential
candidate filled, apparently, with
the idea that the all-important
thing is to help Europe.
One or more of those candidates
might be surprised if a real candi
date came along urging the im
portance of doing something for
the United States. We also have
problems that need attention. Ask
the farmers, the consumers of
coal, the shippers on railways, and
a few million others.
This is the world's conserva
tive country with China changed
into a mixture of republicanism,
banditry and chaos, and Russia
running under the kind of govern
ment that you know.
Consider the difference, in radi
calism, between the United States
and the British empire. One lone
some socialist member will sit in
our next congress. Eighty social
ists, elected as such, vote in the
house of commons.
If you have a hatred of radical
ism, let those figures comfort you.
In England, and all over Eu
rope, “labor party” or “socialist
party” means practically the same
thing, except where labor is more
radical than socialism. Here in
America, labor has officially driven
out and refused to affiliate with
socialists that came with the mes
sage, "ths only way for labor to
throw off its chains is to combine
with socialism.”
Labor replies that $7.00 a day
for hod carriers and $16 for brick
layers constitute a set of “chains”
not exactly unbearable.
Henry Ford, who does not know
whether he is a candidate or not,
describes union labor as “a great
scheme to interrupt work. It
speeds up the loafing.”
Mr. Ford describes the proposed
bonus as “an insult to the ex-serv
ice man.”
Judging him by other politicians
and by things he says. Ford sounds
as though he were really not espe
cially anxious to be nominated or
elected.
E. Fatterini, able Italian engi
neer, predicts, that in 60 years,
ships that now burn oil instead of
coal, will give up oil and be driven
electrically, the power sent to
them by wireless from the main
land.
Many years ago this writer
pointed out that the problem of
power for flying machines would
be solved by wireless transmission
of power, now in its babyhood, but
soon to be practically successful.
When a ship on the sea or in
the air can draw from power
houses on land electricity manu
factured from tides, waterfalls or
sunlight, the power problem of the
earth will have been solved.
Ten million men, wounded In
(he big war, are drawing pensions
in different parts of the world, ac
cording to League of Nations sta
tistics.
Those horrified at such vast ex
penditure, destined to run on in
definitely, do not see both sides
of the question.
A man can live on a compara
tively small pension, given in cash
each month. Many civil war
veterans, because they had. to, got
along on pensions miserably small.
It would have cost the various
communities at least three times
as much to keep the same men in
poorhouses, allowing for graft of
various kinds.
The pension that a man Is allow
ed to spend for himself is the
cheapest way of meeting the situa
tion.
And no one can tell how much
the business of the United States
and its general prosperity have
been benefited by the rogulnr dis
tribution of from one to two hun
dred millions in pensions every
year, the money going into every
part of the country arid for life’s
necessities.

Christian Reads
Speech Prepared
by President
Secretary to Harding Repre
sents Chief Executive at
Knights Templar Cere
mony at Hollywood.
By Associated Tress.
. Hollywood, Cal., Aug. 2 — George B.
Christian, jr., secretary to the presi
dent, presented to the Hollywood com
mandery. No. 66, Knights Templar,
the international traveling beauseant
of the order here today, instead of
President Warren O. Harding, who
is ill in San Francisco. Secretary
Christian read the speech the presi
dent had prepared for the presenta
tion.
The international traveling lysau
seant is a banner symbolic of the
great lodge. The original banner was
carried in the crusades of the first
Knights Templar. The present beau
seant originated in the priory of Can
ada and was started on its Mp
around the world when it was present
ed to the eommandary at Buffalo. It
was brought here from President
Harding's commandery at Marlon, O.
Reads Harding's Address.
Speaking in the Hollywood bowl,
| a natural amphitheater In the hills
here, Secretary Christian, reading the
president's prepared address, said:
“I gladly and proudly join in send
ing this banner on its highly-pur
posed Journey, which is to continue
probably beyond the span of the lives
of those here assembled. Wherever
it inspires more of real brotherhood,
more of devotion to Christ’s simplest
teachings. It will not have been
borne In vain.
"I charge that it shall not be hold
as a banner of militant force, nor as
a memorial of deeds of arms, not as
a mere piece of ritualistic pageantry,
but as the symbol of brotherhood,
raised to the glory of our grand com
mander. whose law was love, whoee
reign was peace, and for whom the
herald angels sang; ‘Glory to God in
the highest; on earth peace and good
will toward men.
Beautiful Idea.
“It was a beautiful idea which
brought about the reproduction of the
banner under which the Knights of
the Hbly Grail went forth to battle
to the death with the Saracens for
the restoration of the holy land and
its shrines to Christian hands, and
to send it on a pilgrimage to the
temples of the latter day Christian
knights to reawaken or reanimate
their faith and devotion. The repro
duced beauseant will not encounter
the storms, the fanaticism and the
romances of knighthood which at
tended the original banner, but I
trust Its journeys will encounter no
less of conscience and no less of noble
purpose.”
After tracing the history of the
beauseant down through the ages,
Mr. Christian read:
“I am sure the mission of the
beauseaat will be a failure if its
travels are made simply a matter of
symbolism and pageantry. It bears
emblaroned upon It the supplication:
‘Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us;
but unto Thy name be the glory.’
Teachings of Christ Simple.
"We should glorify the holy name,
not by words, not by praise, not by
displays at arms, but by deeds and
service in behalf of human brother
hood. Christ, the great exemplar of
our order, repeatedly urged this truth
upon his hearers. There was nothing
mythical or mystical in the code of
living preached by Jesus Christ. The
lessons He taught were so simple and
plain, so fashioned to be understood
by the humblest among men, that
they appealed to the reason and emo
tions of all. ilia words to the fisher
men boro conviction to the learned
men of the Itoman bench.
"All of Ills teachings were based
upon the broad ground of fraternal
ism. and justice, and understanding,
from which Mows always peace. *A
new commandment I give unto you—
that ye love one another.’ Surely In
this was ‘all the law and the gospels.’
I make bold to say. In reflective de
liberation, there Is nothing in templar
knighthood, nothing in obligation, lec
ture or exemplification, nothing In
practice where obligation is kept,
which could not be openly, and in
equal simplicity, proclaimed to the
world."
Underwood Candidacy
Grows in Potentiality
iContinued From Pate One.)
extremely Impressive showing of
popular strength. The same is true
of Henry Ford's friends.
If the McAaoo candidacy and the
Ford candidacy can be carried along
simultaneously without giving rise lo
too much enmity between partisans
of the two, there will always remain
the possibility of a combination, and
that combination, as things stand
now, would come close to being suc
cessful. It would seem to be the(
greater likelihood, however, that Me
Adoo and Ford combined would have
something short of the necessary two
thirds, and that the final third, with
Underwood's their favorite, would be
able to take advantage of a sort of
strategy. in which Underwood's
friends are more skilled than the
friends of the other two. All this,
of course, is based on premises which
are just about 11 months ahead of
the actual date of the convention.
Handicap Is Overstressed.
Underwood will not be handicapped
In the least by the fact that he la a

iniicli more talk than reality. It will
very probably turn out, that aa the
convention comes into being:, Under
wood will havo an even larger and
more formidable backing from New
England, the east and the middle
west than he has from the south. It
Is from these latter sections that tlie
lenders come who, in a quiet and In
a formal way, have more or less put
their shoulders behind the Under
wood movement.
One of the Immediate developments
will be to bring out evidence as to
how far Underwood's stand on foreign
relations will be agreeable to friends
of ex-President Wilson. Underwood
seems to lake the position that
European affairs have gone from had
to worse ever since 1919, that because
of this, our own American economic
basis Is going to be hurt, that the
republicans throughout all this period
followed a policy of mere negation,
of refraining from doing anything,
and that the republican party is,
therefore, responsible. It remains :o
he seen whether any of Senator Un
derwood’s opponents will take a posi
tion more nearly identical with the
orthodox Wilson doctrine.

T. C. Byrne obtained adoption of a
resolution which approved the action
of the special commlttra in its work
of putting over the idea of "Buy a
thousand or more bushels of wheat or
a bag or barrel of flour.”
An important feature of the meet

corporation in Omaha, Mr. Flsnnl
gan forcefully refuted a report in a
Wall street publication that one
clg'hth of the farmers of Nebraska
are bankrupt.
“I don’t believe such a statement,”
Mr. Flannigan Raid, adding that ho
recently conferred with Kugeno
Meyers, Jr, president of the War Fi
nance corporation, whom he met at
Minneapolis.
Obligations Are Paid.
"Of ail of the states west of the
Mississippi river, Nebraska Is first in
the matter of collections of the War
Finance activities," Mr. Flannlgan
asserted. "During a period of 13
weeks beginning in October. 1921, the
Omaha agency made advances of $13,
000,000 to Nebraska banks and bank
ers on agricultural paper. All but 10
per cent of that amount already has
been paid back. This money was
loaned directly for th« agricultural
section. Wo have never had a litiga
tion in connection with these loans,'
nor have we ever foreclosed on a
farmer. We stand to lose no money."
