Today Lloyd George Jumped in. Up Comes Golden Money. Not Exactly Teetotal. Zangwill Arrives. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Lloyd George is off to Canada, the most valuable jewel in the im perial crown of the British empire. Apart from intellectual wealth, all the intrinsic wealth of the British Isles could be duplicated a dozen times over in Canada with the greatest ease. Canadians who sent 400,000 men across the ocean to fight for their king and their own safety under the mental leadership of Lloyd George, will welcome the great premier proudly. ' Gone are the days when Lloyd George was hated by every tory in England, and every liberal with more than a 1,000 pounds a year. In that day a story, much applaud ed in London ran thus: “Tell us how you saved that poor chap from drowning.” “Why, I jumped in, swam out • and turned him over to make sure it wasn’t Lloyd George. Then I pulled him ashore.” Since that time Lloyd George has jumped in and pulled the Brit ish empire ashore, just as it was drowning. Quite a change. The golden sun of money rises, the old bloody sun of fighting royalty is setting. You know it when Stinnes and other great money men form Germany’s ruling power dragging the monarchists along behind them, as a little tail to their kite. When money be comes absolute power, it may want royalty as a useful figurehead. Gone are the days when Caesar condescended to take with him as a humble follower the son of the richest man in Rome. And gone the days when that richest man went out and got himself killed, trying to be a hero. Gone also are the days when Jacques Coeur, doing a bigger busi ness than all the other merchants of France put together, with his fleets scattered all over the seas, was proud to lend his money to the French king, to nccept in the end a heavy fine, disgrace and flight to Italy, whose great trading republic he had met and conquered in their own commercial battles on the seas. All his power, money, services counted for nothing. That he had financed the fight that drove the English out of Normandy counted for nothing when the nobles that had never done a day’s work in their lives conspired against him. Two popes, Nicholas IV and Calixtus III, recognizing his power and honesty employed him after the French King Charles had im prisoned and robbed him on a false charge of poisoning his mistress, Anges Sorrel. You can’t treat big money kings in that way any longer. Instead of standing hat in hand in waiting rooms of the great, they sit in their large offices and the formerly “great” come hat in hand to see them. And now in Germany the heavily bearded Stinnes, modern Jacques Coeur, allows the mon archist party of Germany to follow behind him as he might good na turedly let a little strange dog follow him in the street. “He hath put down the mighty.” Lloyd George asked, “Are you a teetotaler,” replies, “A teetotaler? Ah, not exactly that.” Amazing is the number of men that manage to go through life and achieve real results without being teetotalers. There was Glad stone, the late Pierpont Morgan, Pope Leo and Marshal Moltke, both lived to be very old, and Bismarck and Clemenceau, Wagner, Beeth oven, Shakespeare, Theodore Roosevelt, Christopher Columbus, Joan of Arc and Woodrow Wilson. Not one of them teetotalers, yet how much they did. What a wonderful world this will be when, to all its other powers, are added the stimulating and genius-creating effects of total abstinence. Zangwill is here, to visit Nathan Straus, and address the American Jewish congress on “the problem of the Jewish people.” It’s an old problem, far from settlement, as old as the problem of a cat with many dogs in the neighborhood. It takes much education to teach a dog that there is no good reason for biting a rat. It’s hard to teach a cat that it does not pay to scratch a dog’s face. Human beings hate each other like cats and dogs, because of slightly different racial character istics, instead of realizing that a combination of all these character istics has built the world and everything worth while in it. Zangwill attacks Hilaire Belloc’s book, the “Jew.” That’s waste of energy as foolish as that of the dog who chases a cat up a tree. Zangwill has genius, real intelli gence, Belloc has neither. His book is a cheap performance, well included in Lloyd George’s suffi cient description of nnti-semitism as “extraordinarily stupid.” Zangwill's intelligence shows in the fact that he sees and describes ull sides of Jewish character, not confining himself to exclusive praise. Jews like many others have been Injured by those that consider themselves their best friends. To tell a child or a race that it per fect, is not kindness. President Coolidge who hasn’t made any mistakes thus far an nounces that he is opposed to the sloppy sentimental talk about can celling Europe’s war debts. He doesn't say, ljut probably thinks t.hjit Europo would spend more itfr what it owes the ^s, instead of investing •ry for killing its IMI.) > • Women Favor a Workhouse for Prisoners % Declare Idleness Breeds Dis content Among Persons Con fined in Douglas County Jail. Proposed plan for a workhouse for Douglas county prisoners is heartily endorsed by many Omaha women prominent in welfare and club work. The majority favor road work for the prisoners for the time being as expense of a new building for any prison manufacture would be too great a load on the taxpayers, they say. Other counties and states have work for their prisoners, and why shouldn’t Douglas county have the same benefits, they ask. "I certainly approve of the plan for a workhouse for the prisoners here,” said Mrs. Palmer Findley, president of Omaha Young Women’s Christian association. "All prisoners need work; idleness is a bad thing. There would be less discontent among them if they felt that they were do ing something in the^ world." The suggestion of a work house will be discussed at a meeting of Omaha Women's Christian Temper ance union meeting, Tuesday after noon at the Y. M. C. A., said Mrs. Robert C. Uhlig, president. Mrs. Uhlig is in favor of the workhouse, but also thinks that the prisoner's side of the question should be looked into. Mrs. G. W. Ahlquist, superin tendent of prison reform in Omaha W. C. T. U., will lead the discussion. "The prisoners should have some thing to do,” said Mrs. ohn W. Gill, vice president of the Omaha Woman's club. "Since the roads in the county need so much repair the prisoners could do this with little additional ex pense to the county. Idleness gets anyone into trouble. Employment is a good thing.” Favors Workhouse. Dr. Jennie Callfas who has done a great deal of prison welfare work in connection with the Omaha Women's club has been very much in favor of a workhouse fo^ prisoners for many years. "In St. Louis where I used to live excellent work is being done by work of the prisoners," said Dr. Callfas. "I certainly approve of such work and have been trying to inter est the commissioners in such a plan for a long time. The women were all interested in the proposals but not the men. Road work is being done everywhere by prisoners and we certainly need better roads right here in the city.” Another prominent member of the Omaha Woman's club. Mrs. C. W. Hayes, can find no reason why men who live on the county should not work for their keep. "I am In favor of Insisting on the prisoners work ing," said Mrs. Hayes. "They are dependent on the public so they should be forced to do something. "The taxpayer should realize that it is an injustice to the prisoner to let him be idle. This would remedy the evils that exist in an idle mind of a prisoner. Effective work has been done in so many states and counties. When they built the new jail I urged a workhouse *but the county commissioners said that it would be too much expense. A work house is one of the best things pos sible in prison reform.” Demand Excurs The ticket office at the Union sta tion reported a heavy demand for Sunday excursion round trip tickets on the Great Western railroad yes terday. Round trip tickets are sold for the price of a one-way fare. Tick ets under $5, if purchased after mid night Saturday, are good until mid night Sunday. Tho offer is more or less of an ex periment and will be in force until October 14. Banker Returns From East. S. J. Weekes, president of the O'Neill National bank, was in Omaha Monday on his return from tho east. He was a guest at a luncheon given at the Biltmore, New York, last Fri day for David Lloyd George by the United Press associations. B. Brewer, general manager of The Omaha Bee, was also a guest there, as was Norris Huso, formerly of Norfolk, now vice president of the United Press association. "We ail shook hands with Lloyd George,” he said. "He is a man of marvelous personality and with a remarkable eye looking out from under his black and shaggy eye brows.” [ TODAY’S BEAUTY HINT It Is not necessary to shampoo your hair so frequently If It Is en tlrely and properly cleansed each time by the use of a really good sham poo. The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recom mend to our readers Is one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair and may be enjoyed at very little ex pen ho by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox which can be obtained from any druggist, In a cup of hot water. This makes a full eup of shampoo liquid, enough so It Is easy to apply It to all the hair Instead of Just to the top of the head. This, when rub bed Into the scalp and onto every strnnd of hair, chemically dlssolvea all Impurities. It Is very soothing and cooling In Its action, as well as beneficial to both scalp snd hair. Af ter rinsing out the lather so created, you will find the scalp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, while the hair dries quickly and evenly, devel oping a bright luster and a soft fluf flness that inakea It seem very heavy. —Advertisement.

Republicans Will Stir Own Party Cake (Continued From rare One.) factions of the republican party In that state will solicit Senator Johnson to be a candidate for the presidential nomination. Another result of this same Illinois situation is that when Johnson Is adopted hy one of the fac tions It will Instantly follow that ex Governor Lowden of that state will also be In the race; Mr. Lowden Is not an avowed candidate and has no Intention of making a fight against Coolldge. Cut events In his own state are ex tremely likely to make him a candi date In the sense of trying for the sixty delegates from Illinois. Still further there Is a situation rapidly de veloping in South Dakota which will tend to put Hiram Johnson In the field’ as a candidate. South Dakota is the first of the states to take any official action looking to the republic an nomination. That action will be gin as early as next month In the shape of what Is called In South Da kota “county assemblies.” In these county assemblies the names of both Coolldge and Johnson will figure and the prevailing political spirit of the state Is such that the advocates of Johnson will be very numerous and extremely aggressive. In several other states It Is becom ing certain that the state delegation will go to the next convention In structed for "favorite sons” ns against Coolldge. In practically every state there are always two factions. When one faction gets behind Coolldge the other faction gets behind some one else; and In the subsequent contests It is bound to happen in a consider able number of cases that the antl Coolldge candidate will win. The net of all this Is that It Is prac ^ THE HOUSE OF MANY ^ NEW DRESSES Free alterations are now a part of Thorne’s Thorough, Thoughtful Service to Omaha misses and women. ^ 1818 Farnain ^ j Absolutely Pure imported POMPEIAN OLIVE OIL FINEST IN THE MIDDLE WEST One of the Beatty Co-Operative System BEATTY’S I Henshaw Cafeteria In lUnihaw Hotel. 44Be Good to Your Wife” lnttnll the New OLIVER GAS BURNER Safer, Cleaner, More Economical Than Coal—-Absolutely Autnmatle Low price only made possible by quantity production by the oldest and largest makers In the world.

Sticks to Principles. Meantime, quite apart from any po litical efforts that may he under way on the part of Coolldge's friends, Coolldge himself Is handling the busi ness of his office and conducting him self in relation to the country in a manner which la the natural expres sion of his personality and of his post record. His course Is one of sure footed and careful handling of each problem as It comes up with complete fidelity to accepted principles. For such a course of conduct and from events that have happened dur ing the last week it may be Inferred that while the administration will do everything possible to help the farm er those efforts will be kept safely within the field of accepted princi ples of government and economics. Another reasonable Inference from this line of policy is that there will be no juggling on the part of the ex ecutive with the existing status of freight rates and no attempt to help one economic group at the expense of another through any device of helping Peter at the expense of Paul. During the latter part of the week there was a marked subsidence of alarm about the condition of the farmer and an Increase of confidence that farm conditions may Improve of themselves through forces Inherent in the general economic situation. Part of this hope received Its stimulus from the rise of corn. The balance of judgment was to the effect that this rise will be maintained. It should bp added, however, that some experts fear the price of corn will not continue at this present height. Their reasoning Is that much of the corn is being bought for the pur pose of fattening hogs; that the num ber of hogs In the country Is enor mous and that when pork comes on the market a few weeks from now it will run into the same condition that was partially responsible for the slump In wheat, namely a lack o( normal consumption and normal bid ding power in Europe. Bandits Raid Ritz-Carton _ 3 Armed Men Hold Up Niglit Manager, Take $5,000 in Gems. Hr Associated Praw. New York, Oct. 8.—Three armed men early today held up the night manager and several other employee of the fashionable Rltz-Carlton hotel and robbed A Jewelery store In the lobby of $5,000 worth.of gems. The robbery occurred at 2:30 a. m. Charlie Chaplin, who entered the ho tel lobby 15 minutes after the bandits fled, was the first outsider to learn of It.

Entering the hotel at the main con course the bandits, well dressed and armed, called for the night manager, | and ordered his h’ands up. 1 Cancelling of War Debt Wilson Plan Letter From Lloyd George to Ex-President Showed Agree ment. London, Oct. 8.—The Sunday Ex press yesterday published a letter dat ed August 5, 1920, from Lloyd George to President Wilson showing that the British, French and American governments had practically agreed to settle the whole reparations prob lem when Lloyd George's govern ment fell. The letter shows that America and Britain had agreed to remit a por tion of the British debt to the United States In consideration of France scaling down its reparations claims. Wilson Refuses Comment. Washington, Oct. 8.—Officials and diplomats here were stirred yesterday by dispatches from London to the ef fect that the United States under President Wilson was ready to accept a plan for reducing debts owed It by the allies in order to affect a reduc Your Credit IS GOOD HERE!

At Mr. 'Wilson’s home here It was learned that the Ixmdon dispatches had been noted, but comment was refused. It was indicated, however, that the former president might au thorize some statement later. Elsewhere, authoritative denials were made of the British implication that the American government in 1920 accepted the Idea reducing the allied obligations if reparations de mands on Germany were cut accord ingly. London dispatches jmphaslzed the assertion that Anglo-American debt negotiations at that time were dropped by Austen Chamberlain, British chancellor of the exchequer, and Albert Rathbone, representing the United States. Mr. Rathbone nM last night that his negotiations with Mr. Chamber lain were "halted,'' when he was advised that the British premier desired to take up the matter with President Wilson personally. Mr. Rathbone em phasized that his negotiations were not abandoned. He said the discus sion later was taken up by other American representatives with tl British where he left off and led funding arrangements entered Into with Great Britain. It Is pointed out, congress never took seriously the Wilson plan for taking questionable German repara tions bonds In jjayment of Belgian obligations Incurred prior to the armistice, November 11, 1918.
