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

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.”

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.

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

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.

New York, Oct. 8.—Three armed

The robbery occurred at 2:30 a. m.
Charlie Chaplin, who entered the ho

fled, was the first outsider to learn of
It. Not until five hours later, after

tlon In the German reparation* total
demanded by France.
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. Con
grczs likewise specifically prohibited
the debt commission from giving any
consideration to cancellations pro
