A Conservative Animal.
_ What's Good Advertis
ing ? .
Prince Morning Star.
Only 255 Miles an Hour.
l By ARTHUR BRISBANE
v-:_/
Man is conservative animal. He
wants a leader, something to look
up to. He also wants somebody
below, on whom he may look down
with contempt. That’s why radi
calism, efforts to establish equality,
don’t last.
They had such spasmodic efforts
in Egypt, in Greece and in Rome.
But the leaders came back, the
courtiera fawned and enjoyed look
ing down on the crowd.
After the big war, wise sociolo
gists asked:
“In which country will revolu
tion, radicalism and a demand for
equality break out first?”
Many answered Italy, and that
is where the Fascisti, dedicated to
keeping down tho mob, keeping up
the king, and maintaining con
sarvatism, made their first start.
Now in Spain comes an imi
tation of Mussolini. The word of
Gen. Primu Rivera is law. When
he issues a statement, it becomes
a decree binding on the nation.
Radicals are locked in jail or flee
ing over the borders.
Man is conservative and for a
good reason. He doesn’t yet know
bow to govern himself, and in
stinct tells him to get somebody
else to govern him.
Edward W. Bok, who has re
tired, but can’t be idle, offers for
advertising prizes, $8,500 a year,
“to encourage merit and stimulate
accuracy.”
The accuracy might he taken
for granted. Advertisers arc not
untruthful, as a class, more than
others and being intelligent, they
know that lying never pays.
The art of advertising consists
in writing and presenting an idpa
in a way that makes it easier to
read than to skip. The first prize
should go to the man able to com
mand attention.
Just before he reached his ranch
to build up his overworked system
and gain popularity with the Cana
dians, the Prince of Wales was
met by David Bear’s Paw and
Red Cloud, chiefs of the Stony
Indian tribe.
They named the prince, “Chief
Morning Star.” lie responded
graciously.
Evening Star would perhaps
have been a better name. Royalty
is not to stay above the horizon
long, in spite of loyalty and Fas
■ ismo.
A flier has covered 256 miles in
one hour, better than one mile
■’very 15 seconds. It’s fast, but
not fast enough.
When that, speed is multiplied
by four, as it will be, men will
travel 1,000 miles an hour, ex
actly as fast as the sun seems to
i ravel.
Then lying on the upper deck
of an airship far different from
anything we see now, you will be
able to take an all-year sun bath,
going around the earth, with the
-un always directly above your
lead.
The federated farm labor party
meets in New York, prepared to
do great things for farmers, and
abor in the election of 1924.
In 1924, the farmers will for
get laborers, laborers will forget
farmers. They will divide and vote
in the good old-fashioned way,
some for democrats, some for re
publicans.
You can’t get much of a labor
party where common labor in big
cities get $7 a day. skilled labor
from $10 to $20 a day. And you
can’t organize much of a farmcr
abor party, where the problem of
he farmer is to get labor cheap
enough to make his crops sell at a
profit.
It. appears that Cuba will have
plenty of sugar and to spare, and
sugar ought to be cheap. But our
own United States Department of
•nmtnerce kindly obliged the sugar
gamblers and middlemen by an
nouncing falsely a great shortage
and inevitably higher prices. After
•hat false. Harmful statement
ame a tame, feeble denial. Now
•nmrs the official confirmation of
i big sugar crop. Hut that doesn’t
help American women that have
been paying 9 cents a pound and
more for sugar.
This country, solemnly observ
• rtg “Constitution week,” must
not make a fetish of the written
word, as the Chinese and others
have done. The constitution is a
human document. What has been
written by human beings can be
changed and improved by human
beings. The constitution provides
for changes and many will conic.
Meanwhile it's the best constitu
tion thus far written, one to be
cherished, and changed with cau
tion.

Omaha receives particular attention
in a study made of the butter and
cheese markets of New York by
Charles F. Junod, vice president of
the Bank of America.
Tho monograph, which has just

Of the 241,604,065 pounds of butter
received in the metropolis last year,
24,074,323 came from Nebraska.
"Omaha,” the study says, "is one
of tho largest butter manufacturing
cities of the world. It contains five
important centralizing plants, one of
them with a capacity of 1.500 tubs,
or five carloads of butter a day in
the height of the season."
The lowest, average yearly price
for butter in New York since the
Civil war was recorded in 1S96 when
