48 Times Happy We.
Do You Gently Inhale?
The Horse and the Ashes.
^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE j
Five thousand bankers, in con
vention, were assured yesterday
that everythin* would be all right
in the best possible of worlds but
for “socialism, communism, syndi
calism and dangerous advocacy of
government ownership.”
Many of the 6,000 bankers are
intelligent gentlemen, and reading
history they know this:
Radicalism becomes dangerous
at the bottom only when prosperity
and power become foolish at the
top.
Bulgaria is torn by revolutions;
peasant friends Qf the murdered
Stamboulski are determined to
avenge him and kick out their
king.
We are fortunate with 48 dif
ferent nations tied up as one.
Anything can happen in one of the
j 48 states without seriously disturb
ing the others.
In Oklahoma the governor or
ders the soldiers to ‘‘shoot to kill”
if the legislature attempts to meet
and impeach him. It’s all about
the Ku Klux Klan, etc. In Europe
that would be enough for a wide
revolution. Here it is just “news”
from one state. The beauty of it
is that the 48 united nations have
free trade among them, protection
from the outside. Our ancestors
were wise, and we are fortunate.
Do you inhale your cigaret
smoke, chin in the air and fore
head thrown back. And do you
then proudly blow it out of your
nose, up toward the ceiling, say
ing, “If you don’t inhale you don’t
really smoke?’’
It may interest you to know
that inhaling tobacco smoke means
absorbing into the system eight
times as much nicotine as non-in
halers absorb. A learned Ger
man professor proves it.
Bear in mind also that when
your nose is in the air inhaling to
bacco smoke, you are not thinking.
That’s loss of time. You can’t
think with your nose in the air.
Thinking makes the forehead turn
downward.
Life is strange. Henry Ward
Beecher would have found a text
in the westbound Aquitania, bring
ing Papyrus, the great English
race horse, and the ashes of Prin
cess Anastasia, American woman
of great wealth, married to a
brother of the Greek king. A live j
horse means more than a dead ,
princess. Wireless messages from ■
the world tell you that Papyrus is ,
well in his thickly padded state
room. Bar Gold, another horse
brought to keep him company, is
seasick. No word by wireless or
otherwise about the sad journey to
her homeland of the American
princess. It is all over for her.
The franc continues its upward
dance. Finance thinks France has
won. So she has, although with j
one side disarmed, there isn’t as ,
much glory in holding the Ruhr
as there was in holding Verdun.
The London stock market was a
little more cheerful yesterday, but
not too cheerful. Our stock spec- |
ulators did nqt share the European ,
stock exchange cheerfulness. They ,
were gloomy.
The broker that recently asked ,
people to gamble with him by sell- ,
ing francs short, isn’t feeling ,
happy today, if he did, since there
isn’t any short selling.
The government has sold the
Muscle Shoals plant to a corpora
tion, and that ends Henry Ford's
attempt to get the great water
power. It ends alsq the possibility
of his carrying out his promise to
give the farmers cheap fertilizer
and it gives Ford and the farmers 1
permanent possession of a very
good complaint—if they ever want
to use it in politics.
All London went grouse shoot- ■
ing yesterday. It is called sport.
Men hide in “butts’’ each with a l
servant to load his gun for quick '
work in killing. The birds are
driven by beaters toward the
“butts’’ and butchered as they fly
over. It isn’t as bad as the old
cowardly pigeon slTooting, but
nearly as bad.
In a few years hence it will no
longer be called sport.
The break has come in Germany.
The French now may do as they
please in the Ruhr and the French
plan, originated by Marshal Foch, 1
is to establish an independent 1
Ruhr republic, a Catholic national lj
entity, separate from Protestan*
Prussia. According to European
correspondents, that program, out
lined more than a year ago in this
column, is the definite program
now.
The New York Central railroad
shows earnings more than 200 per
cent higher than they were a lit
tle while ago, and New York Cen
tral stock, recently one of the lame
ducks, is strong. Apart from in
creased rates, which all the roads
enjoy, it is largely a matter of
management. An able man means
a profitable railroad, the other
kind of man means a failure.
There are more dollars in person
ality than in locomotives or cars

I Congressman Simmons “Flivoering” to Washington
Tins is bod Simmons, Nebraska's
youngest congressman, leaving Omaha
for his maiden session of congress.
His wife and kiddies are aboard also.
Residents of the "Big Sixth," which
in itself is nearly as largo as all the
New England states, excepting Maine,
know the "flivver” almost as well as
they know Bob, who was born in the
district and has always lived there,
except during the years when young
men aided in keeping the boches from
the American hearthstone.
This "flivver” carried Congressman
Bob over the devious cow trails in his
district before election. After elec
tlon he spent most of his time trav
eling over his district with his fam
ily.
Now the "flivver" and Congressman
Bob are on the last long mile, fig
uratively speaking. They are on their
way to Washington. 1
Congressman Bob stopped in Oma
ha long enough to become imbued
with The Omaha Bee plan of forc
ing a high tariff on wheat to protect
the middle-west wheat farmer from
a Canadian wheat Invasion. He's
promised to do all he can to put over
the plan at the coming session of con
gress.
The Big Sixth representative ad
mits that he and his "flivver" are
leaving Nebraska rather early foi
the session. But he believes a num
ber of the old-time politicians are
there noV Jockeying for committee
appointments.
Nebraska’s youngest congressman
is like all the others from the farm
belt In Nebraska and elsewhere—he
wants an appointment to the agricul
tural committee. He knows someone
is to be disappointed. He’s endeavor
ing to exclude himself from the "also
rans.”
Boy Bandits
All Parole
Violators
Four Youths Have Served in
Reform School—Two
Other's Implicated,
They Say.
Four boy bandits arrested Tues
day in the process of holding up the
Sterling grocery at 1951 St. Marys
avenue, declared this morning that
six persons participated In the hold
up and that police released two of
them.
They asserted that they were
"framed" by the police and by the
two members of the gang who were
turned loose by the detectives who
made the arrest. One of the boys
turned loose is said to be Joseph Lang
ton, a brother of John Langton, clerk
In the store.
Detectives, questioned concerning
the statement of the boys, said that
the other two bandits would "be on
hand when they are wanted.’’
The four arrested- are Clifford Hill,
4706 South Twenty-seventh street;
Rudolph Mertz, 4622 South Twentieth
street; William Rybln, 471R South
Twentieth street, and James Brennan,
6618 Gilmore avenue.
All have been confined In the
Kearney Industrial school at one time
or another and will be turned over to
juvenile authorities as parole vio
lators.
Clifford Hill, in a statement this
morning, said that, they met at a pool
hall on Twenty-fourth street, between
L and M streets, yesterday afternoon
and went directly from the pool hall
to the grocery store, where the hold
up was attempted.
At the store Sam Rothenberg, 201
South Thirty-sixth street, manager,
was forced to the rear of the build
ing at the point of a gun. John
Langton and Morrle Waxenbcrg,
clerks, and Harry Kopeck, truck driv
er, were herded into a corner at the
rear of the store by another member
of the gang. Three hundred dollars,
the day’s receipts, was in the cash
register.
Then detectives, who had received
a tip, appeared at the store entrance,
armed with sawed off shotguns, and
the holdup fell flat.
Outside the store Kmergency Officer
Harry Buford and Detective Robert
Munch had captured both "lookouts"
and the chauffeur of the gang.
I’otlco allege that the boys are
implicated in several other recent
holdupa and robberies in Omaha.
Joe Langton was arrested today
shortly before noon by Detectives Kil
lian and Davis, for investigation In
connection with the holdup.
He is alleged to have been a mem
ber of the gang.
