Coolidge Lacks Jealousy.
No Substitutes, Please.
See Lloyd. George.
Whisky Drinkers Lose.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
A little man shows his littleness
in his little jealousies, and so does
a big man, for that matter.
President Coolidge shows free
dom from small jealousy, when he
puts Gifford Pinchot in charge of
coal negotiations.
Next to Hiram Johnson and
President Coolidge, Pinchot is the
most likely candidate for the re
publican nomination. Successful
handling of the coal problem
might add greatly to his strength.
But, as governor of Pennsyl
vania, the hard coal state, Mr. Pin
chot is the man for the coal job,
if President Coolidge does not
feel that he can settle it himself.
And so the president appoints
Pinchot, regardless of politics. A
good sign and creditable to the
president.
President Coolidge's friends will
advise him not to tell the president
that soft, coal instead of hard is a
solution of the coal problem.
They want hard coal, and do not
care to ruin their cities and their
tempers by taking lessons in soft
coal burning. The coal is in the
ground, easy of access. It belongs
to the people, as the private “own
ers” will discover, one of these
days.
It will not help the president
or his party to offer soft coal, or
the refuse of culm banks as a sub
stitute, while mine owners and
workers fight it out. It’s too much
like that Frenchman of the revolu
tion advising the people to eat
grass, if they lacked bread. They
wanted bread, so that Frenchman
learned, later.
The president doubtless knows
that through all last year's coal
famine, our good Canadian friends
were kept supplied with American
hard coal of first quality. Our
mine owners did not want to lose
their Canadian trade, or force
Canadians to develop Canadian
coal, so they kept Canada well
supplied. They had no need to
worry about their United States
trade, it always comes back. If
Canadian newspapers advertise
this winter, as they did last, "Unit
ed States hard coal, any size, any
quantity, immediate delivery,”
while this country burns substi
tutes, that will not help the repub
licans.
Lloyd George will be here in a
few weeks. You will see and hear
a real man, when he comes. With
out him, to manage England and
her allies in the big war, putting
England’s armies under Foch, sup
plying the allies -wfith money and
ammunition, William of Hohenzol
lern would probably be still kais
er, "on a bigger scale with a newly
captured throne” for each of his
sons.
See and hear Lloyd George, if
you can. He is the greatest demo
crat that Europe has produced
since Cromwell, and history will
say so. whatever tories may say
now.
A Boston labor union complains
that wicked men have sold poi
sonous bootleg liquor to men on
■trike, killing several of them,
making the others unity to win
their strike.
That’s enlightening, for union
men, and they ought to think it
over. If-you read that Indians
out in the hills, or savages in the
Congo had been defeated by en
emies using whisky as bait, you
would understand it.
While union workmen might as
well realize that as long as they
combine whisky, bootleg or other
wise, with their industrial strug
gles, they will lose, and their op
ponents will win.
Mothers all over the country
»re made miserable by fear, be
cause of a most dreadful and wide
>y advertised kidnaping in New
York City. The case is unusually
*ad, the child, an infant of four
months, in delicate health, might
lot survive the parting from its
mother, even with good care in the
ddnaper’s hands.
Nothing can be said to comfort
he father and mother of that
•hild. But other mothers may
end relief in the fact that the kid
laping was in all probability the
esult of sudden impulse, in an
unbalanced mind. Some mother
made insane by the death of a
voting baby may have taken the
lost infant from ita cradle, without
r ealizing the nature of her act. It
is probably not the work of inten
tional criminals, the parents of the
child being very poor.
It i§ not a danger that threat
ens the average child. It happens
not as often as once in a million
rimes. To an infant in its rradle
the danger from kidnapers is far
less than the danger of fatal ac
cident to its older brothers and
sisters in their ordinary play.
For one child kidnaped, 10,000
die of contagious diseases, be
cause Ignorant parents allow them
to play with dogs and eats that
carry disease germs in their fur,
and flies that bring disease from
•utside filth nrc intln1'0'v mm-c
dangerous than all the kidnapers.

Filling Station
Pumps Defective
Inspection Shows Over Half
of Pumps in State Need
Adjusting.
Special Dispatch to Tile Omaha Bee.
Lincoln. Aug. 27.—Fully 50 per cent
of the 200 gasoline filling station
pumps tested in Nebraska during the
last month by the state department of
agriculture have needed adjustment,
and 25 of these pumps were condemn
ed from further use, according to
Grant L. Shumway, secretary ( of the
department.
Mr. Shumway believes as large a
per cent of pumps in Lincoln und
Omaha need adjustment. There are
three inspectors in Omaha and one
in Lincoln, who make tests separately
from the state department.
In only a few of the defective pump
cases was it found that the public
was receiving more gasoline than
entitled to, and in most cases they
were giving too little gasoline, Mr.
Shumway said. He also called atten
tion to the fact that tank wagon op
erators should not use their five-gallon
measures for more than a few
months, because dents in the meas
ures cut down the amount of gasoline
the measures should hold. One dent
can cut down the capacity of the
measure 10 cubic inches.

Farmers Optimistic

little burg where everybody looks for
ward with great hopes of the future.
The pioneer spirit of faith and ag
gressiveness is nowhere better ex
emplified than in this remarkable
little town located on the headwaters
of the Keya Paha river, which is a
fertile valley unexcelled in an agricul
tural way by no other country.
' [ drove from Mission to the Rose
bud agency, which is to the Indians
the capital of the Rosebud reservation.
With the Indians in their tepees and
lamps in and around the agency, it
cannot help but bring one back to
the early days and life of the Sioux,
lie is now peaceful and law-abiding
but he clings tenacidusly to his old
way of living. Even where, they
possess fairly good houses they spend
most of their time in their tepees
nearby. The advancement of civiliza
tion and the rapid settlement by the
white people in that country, has
wrought wonderful changes In the
general landscape of the whole Rose
bud reservation, and nowhere is this
more noticeable than the territory
around Mission.
From the Rosebud agency I drove
south to the state line Just north of
Urookston, »N'eb., and from there into
Valentine. From Valentine I drove
east to Springview , and I cannot help
but mention that 1 traveled over the
most wonderful road In the United
States from Valentine east to the
Keya Paha county line. The improve
ment in the roads throughout that
entire country in the last five years
lias been marvelous and where th :■
tax burden has been perhaps a little
heavy, I nevertheless feel it was
worth all they spent because practical
ly every rancher and farmer owns
an automobile and makes use of their
roads. „
Rosebud Crops Wonderful.
"The crops in the Rosebud country
are simply wonderful, especially the
corn. It is my Judgment that the
corn production from Gregory county
west to the western line of Todd coun
ty will average between 40 and 50
bushels per acre I never before saw
such an abundance of grass and hay.
It might be interesting to know that

the while settler several years ago,
has never had a crop failure. I know
of no body of land in the United
States where crops are so sure,
especially corn, or where corn ran
be bought as cheap as In the Hose
bud country. It is true that they
have shared with the entire civilized
world in the business depression, but
their spirit of optimism Is remarkahle.
Instead Of howling for the Impossible
through legislation arid freak thedres,
they have gone to work with renewed
energy and confidence and If hogs
and cattle will remain at the present
level of prices, they feel thut they
will make money and continue going
ahead as they did before deflation
took place. The freight rates are ex
cessive and handieap them on raising
grain for sale, but even with these
high rates they can feed their grain
to their livestock and prosper. If
wheat remains around its present
low level, there will not be much of
it produced In that country. They
are simply going to get away from
the small grain fainting except for
feeding purposes, and if their appar
ent resolution to continue adherence
to this polity is followed by other
sections of the United States, wheat
production will not be burdensome
und the producer wjll, without doubt,
enjoy better returns from his labor.
