Don’t Increase the Dedd Army. Cheap Air Travel. Wine Makes Itself. You Must Fight, Mr. Singh. ARTHUR BRISBANE There is agitation and anger be cause graves of American soldiers in France are neglected. The anger is justified and government announcement that each soldier shall have a small stone headstone will be welcome. But those dead men if they could speak, would say: "To please us, try not to increase the number of these graves. It is too late to Bave us, and grave stones won’t do us much good. But don’t increase our number, by foolishly mixing in the troubles of nations that will not have peace.” The air giant ZR-1, bigger than the biggest steamship, uses less than a gallon of gasoline per mile in its flight of 11,200 miles. A big ocean steamer would need two tons of coal to one gallon of gas for a giant flyer. That shows the difference in power needed to push aside light air and heavy water and it tells you how cheaply men will travel in years to come if they get rid of that “all the traffic can bear” slogan It is Suite probable that in future one ay’s work will earn the actual cost of a flight around the world. Congressman John H. Hill for making wine at home is to be in dicted if prohibition can manage it. Mr. Hill squeezed grapes and put the juice in bottles. That’s all he did. There was no “wine” alcoholically speaking in existence while he was at work on the grapes. What he did was no crime for there’s no law against squeez ing grapes. Later, without assist ance, from him, the liquid turned into wine. It changed itself or eternal law changed it. Can a man be indicted for what happens inside of a bottle with no i assistance of any kind from the ' man; should not nature be indicted or perhaps prayers offered for a miracle to prevent fermentation? St. Nihal Singh, one of 300,000, 000 Asiatics ruled in India by h few Englishmen, thousands of miles away, has a grievance. When family members of the British em pire meet, Canada, Australia and other colonies of European stock are represented by elected dele gates; India’s vast crowd is repre sented by men selected by English men. As usual the trouble is within a single individual, or 300,000,000 Asiatics—it’s the same if you lack force in yourself some outside force will rule you. Among the 300,000,000 of Asiatics of India there dwell 100,000 Englishmen and they rule the 300,000,000 al though they are outnumbered 3,000 to one. Could Mr. Singh imagine one Englishmen keeping ; down 3,000 Irishmen? In these days you only get justice when you light for it. Even then it is slow. In 5,000 years, India has written millions of different books. And in all those books the word “liberty” does not once appear. That’s the trouble with India. Some day a man will come along, not a Ghandhi, trying to fight Man chester with a spinning wheel but some person of mixed race with thick hairy wrists, coarse hands, short stubby fingers—he'll let India elect its delegates to the British imperial reunion. Mr. llulburt in New York, the acting mayor, nobly determined to protect the public, says that in creased tax assessments are no ex cuse for increasing rents. It’s well meant, but is it wise; when you tnake it unnecessary for the little rent payer to think about taxes, you make it unnecessary for him to think about his local government. When the Romans got bread and gladiatorial shows for nothing they ceased worrying about the price of wheat but they were on the downgrade. When New York increases its tax assessment $1,000,000,000 in a year, that ought to be impressed somehow on the little people not to help the landlords but to make little people take interest in govern ment. In Manila where we let them vote but don’t yet let them rule themselves the natives have voted to send General Wood home. That won’t send him, but the Filipinos, having had time to forget how they lived under Spanish rule, desire to get rid of us and our foolish ideas. Perhaps they are right. Who, but a Filipino knows what a Filipino needs? In any case, we have in the Philippines All that we need in the way of a mandate. We brought that on ourselves, in the course of war unavoidable—how foolish we’d be to let any soft head load on our shoulders other mandates, Ar menia, for instance. (CODyrlKht, 1929.) Europe Is Busy Feeding Itself Relief Worker Says Euro peans Have No Time for Culture. That Europe can feed itself, but has no time or money for culture, that the Russian Intellectual is the most delightful person In the world, and that Russian bolshevism Is grad ually transforming itself Into demo cratic form of government are a few of the Impressions brought home from two years of relief work by Miss Hortense Breekler. Miss Breckler Is in Omaha In the Interest of the Jewish theological seminary of New York City, which is now campaigning for an $1,000,000 endowment. For two years Miss Breckler tour ed Europe, organizing local commit tees to take care of Jewish war or phans for whom American Jews pro vided money to feed. "All through these countries, which used to be the center of culture and learning for Jewish people, I found the struggle for food and shelter ab sorbed the energies of the people. Their schools, their art, their learn ing, were all falling into decay. "Europe is nearly able to feed and clothe herself now, although we shall have to keep up our work for war orphans until at least 193*. "The most charming people I have ever met were the Ruseian and Aus trian lntelllgensia. Delightful, easy going people, used to luxury but bearing their misfortunes gracefully. “It was from refugees In central Europe, driven out of Russia by the bolshevik!, that I got my Impression of the changes In Russian bolshev ism. These people believe that bol shevism Is gradually transforming it self into a firm and democratic gov ernment. I "Most of them look forward to an early return to their homes. While l was In Russia the government was too new, the people too unaccustomed to It, and conditions too chaotic for i. stranger to get much Impression of whither It Is all tending.” . \ Wooly Sweaters New Sweater Coatee* arrfvlnf daily—-cash and carry pricee. $4.95 $7.95 $10.95 1812 F.imara V ■ / “BERG SUITS ME” ---- Saturday Special Her* are the season’s smnrtest suits and overcoats at three distinct pricings.

Special Dispatch to The Omaha Be*. Lincoln, Oct. 5.—Governor Bryan will make no definite decision as to whether or not he will accept Presi dent Coolidge's invitation to a gov ernors’ conference, October 20, until after he has determined whether the president is simply extending a cour tesy to the governors meeting at West Baden, Oetoher 19, or would have called the meeting in any event. In case the president feels that the business to be discussed October 20 Is serious enough to warrant the at tendance of governors who have re fused the invitation to the West Baden conference, it is likely that Governor Bryan will go to Washing ton. The governor explained today that the coal business, In which he is deep ly engaged at the present time, is so Important that he feels he cannot leave the state unless something of real Importance to the president Is to bo taken up at Washington. When asked for details on the state sale of coal he said that they were not yet ready for publication, but he read a letter received from Harting ton, Neb., relative to a recent deliv ery there of two cars of coal pur chased from the state. According to persons in charge of coal distribution there, the cars were disposed of in a day and a half, and four more cars have been ordered. Advices from the mines to the gov ernor Indicate constantly Increasing prices which, in his estimation, are not warranted by the coal situation. H« said an analysis showed that coal mines were having difficulty in dis posing of their screenings and until that was disposed of they could not proceed with mining lump coal. The price quoted him today was $3.40 per ton for bituminous coal, but If the price falls between the date of acceptance of an order and delivery, customers of the state "'ill receive the benefit, A Fair Exchange Is No Grand Island Couples Exchange Helpmates Robbery; So ’Tis Said Grand Island, Neb., Oct.

Workhouse Plan General Agreeinenet That County Jail Prisoners Should Have Employment. That Douglas county Is in need ot a workhouse is conceded by many Omaans. They agree that some other namo than "workhouse” should be found for the institution, and are alike In the opinion that It would serve a use ful end. Some difference Is expressed as to the class of work prisoners should perform. A few say general labor and manufacture. Others contend that this might Injure organized pro duction and say that rnporary wards of the county should be employed re pairing county roads. From a standpoint of road repair Walter W. Head is In favor of a work house, "I think certain prisoners should he worked on the roads,” he said, "because first of all a man, even though in jail, should have ac tive work to give him proper exercise to fit him for the time he Is again a free man. “Secondly, I favor suoH action be cause It will lift a burden from tax payers in the support of prisoners.” "It Is much better to have the pris oners working than to have them Idle.” said Habbi Frederick Cohn when told of the plan. He added that it would tie a big benefit to them ami the community to occupy their time in some kind of work. "I would approve a workhouse, if it were limited to road building,” said Harry H. Lapidus. "There are many roads in Nebraska and around Omaha that need paving and repairing. The fixing of these roads would be a real benefit to the community and to the prisoners themselves. "However, I would not favor estab lishing a workhouse for producing a line of prison goods in competition with labor unions and manufactur ers.” dion|9on,€>cl6ai&€ft Coats Come First In a well chosen wardrobe Even if Saturday is as balmy as a day in June, it will be a good time to buy your coat at Thompson-Belden’s.
