I Today
Tomorrow Columbus
Day.
The Giants Won.
Do We Drag the Ether?
Six Cards Missing.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
Tomorrow will be Columbus day.
Remind your children of it, preach
a short sermon about trying new
things, new methods, not always
sticking to the old. When Colum
bus landed, he thought he was in
China.
Perhaps hp discovered his mis
take on learning that the Indians
actually had bananas. In China
they have none.
By the way, in the United States
only 344,303 Indians are left alive.',
There are only two in the state of '
Delaware, seven in West Virginia.
No wonder the Turks ask us “What
has become of your Indians?”
when we criticize them for killing
Armenians.
The Giants won the first game
of the world’s series yesterday by
5 to 4. That may not mean much
to you, but it means a great deal
to 100,000,000 other Americans.
If your turn is more serious you
will be interested in the experi
ment of Messrs. Michaelson and
Gale, who teach science to young
men in the University of Chicago,
They will test the Einstein theory
with the aid of a two-foot tube as
long as a city block. Those 100,
000,000 good baseball Americans
haven’t the faintest idea of what
the Einstein theory is, or how you
can test it with a tube 200 feet
long.
The learned men will try to
answer this question: “Does the
earth, in its turning, drag the
ether around' with it, or does the
ether remain immovable, while
the earth revolves?”
We know that the motion of the
earth draws the air around with it,
creating a steady, all-year east
ward wind, six miles up.
But the ether is not so easily
tested. Science has not even prov
ed that it actually exists. It’s an
hypothesis necessary to explain the
power of gravitation.
A great philosopher, asked what
he thought of God said, “I have no
need of that hypothesis.” The
same man would have defended
‘.he hypothesis of an imponderable
.•ther as absolutely necessary. The
luman mind is strange.
Miss Elsie Barthel, trained
nurse, and educated, consulted a
voodoo doctor. He gave her six
cards fastened by a black pin, a
:harm “sure to bring back your
vandering lover.” He killed her
A’hen she failed to pay him $395.
The six cards were missing from
a pack in the murderer’s house.
That led to his conviction. When
they showed him the scene of the
:rime in the glare of an automobile
headlight, he confessed.
Superstition, disappointed af
fection and credulity led the wo- v
nan to her death. Superstition
t'orced the negro’s confession.
We are not very far from that
tall specimen of the Cro-Magnon
race with a well-shaped head, dug
up in France the other day. Possi
bly the Cro-Magnon of 15,000
pears ago was ahead of today’s
human average, in some respects.
Prime Minister Brice of Austra
lia, says the British must unite to
tight our growing, dominating
trade. The British empire depends
too much on America. He sug
gests a British imperial purchas
ing board, to control all buying for
Britons and forbid any purchases
in the United States of goods to
be obtained anywhere in the Brit
ish empire.
An ingenious ruggestion. It
would prevent Great Britain buy
ing a bushel of United States
wheat if Canada had any for sale,
or a pound of United States cotton
if any British grower had failed to
sell out.
Dollars take the place of soldiers
in our day. The real diplomat is
the international salesman.
England, old and wise, may
teach the United States the im
portance of encouraging business
on the biggest scale, under proper
supervision. Such business men as
Mellon, Gary, Rockefeller, Doheny,
Swift, Armour, Guggenheim,
Baruch, Schwab will take care of
any British combination, if they
have full swing.
It is enlightening to learn that
Germany is the biggest buyer of
American cotton, more than ?72,
000,000 worth in eight months.
Germany is the heaviest foreign
buyer of American copper, and
pays hard American cash.
Where does it get it, with the
mark slaughtered?
There are able men over there,
with whom Qhgland and the rest
of the world will have to deal as
time passes.

Farmers in
Need of Aid
Right Now
N. B. Updike Says Co-Opera
tive Movement Would Not
Remove Present Distress
of Wheat Growers.
Danger of sidetracking Immediate
relief for the wheat, grower by tlje
federal government is seen by Nelson
B. Updike in the meeting held at
Chicago, in which plnns were made
for the formation of a national co
operation association as a solution of
the wheat problem.
"No one should lose sight of the
fact that immediate relief for the
present condition must be afforded
and past experience in formation of
co-operative organizations shows that
it will be a year or possibly two
years until it can function in such a
manner as to relieve wheat farmers."
Mr. Updike asserted.
"There should be no attempt made
to discourage this worthy enterprise.
However, this relief promised in a
year or two years by organization
of this association doesn’t take care
of the present dire distress of the
wheat farmer. What the wheat farm
ers are looking for is spmething that
will help them at this time, which
they have a right to expect. An In
crease on duty of Imported wfcteat
through the War Finance corpora
I lion's help In financing sales of ex
porting wheat, where the importing
country cannot pay cash, can be
made, as I understand it, without
new legislation. It Is my opinion that
the farmers of the state of Nebraska
are too intelligent to be camouflaged
with anything excepting actual help,
which the administration has a legal
right to render. A higher tariff to
protect the American farmer this
year against the influx of Canadian
and foreign wheat is the first step,
I to my mind, toward affording relief.
| It will take care of the present dis
tress.
Immediate Relief Necessary.
"Meantime, work of organizing this
gigantic association to care for the
future can go ahead, but It is no time
I for the federal government to attempt
* to satisfy farmers b? only endorsing
| their own efforts to help themselves,
when Immediate relief for the present
| is so necessary. The administration
I should do all In Its power to take
care of the present conditions."
Continuing, Mr. Updike outlined the
rapid growth of the co-operative
movement under guidance of the Wil
son administration, Its continuance In
the friendly hands of the Harding ad
ministration, the great length of time
and large amount of the wheat grow
ers' money expended In forming co
operative associations. Finally, the
United States Grain Growers, Incor
porated, was organized with an ad
mission fee of $10 charged to each
farmer member, and the large sum
of $750,000 or more collected was ex
pended in organization work bofore it
functioned at all. and failed, to a large
extent. In accomplishing any results
for Its members.
"Now comes another gigantic plan
for a new co-operative association
launched at Chicago," Mr. Updike
said. "A mere glance at the territory
it contemplates covering indicates it
cannot function In time to alleviate
present day conditions of the wheat
farmer.
Costly to Farmers.
"It means that all wheat farmers
must be solicited again for funds to
organize the association, that they
must sign contracts whereby their
crops are to he delivered and sold, as
directed by the association, and a
campaign of education must be Insti
tuted in behalf of the plan. It also
entails formation in each state of a
branch association which must be
connected legally with the parent or
ganization, the contemplated national
cooperative association. It must take
more time than wo have at hand to
protect wheat farmers on this year's
crop."
The Chicago conference where the
plan was launched, Included, ns ob
servers, Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing
director; Frank W. Mondell, director
of the War Finance corporation, and
H. C. Yohe of the Department of
Agriculture, all of whom were re
ported to have endorsed the plan.

Falls City Bond
Issue Given kO. K.’
Auditor Holds *45.000 School
Project Legal Despite Dis
pute Over Election.
Lincoln. Oct. It.—Auditor George
W. Marsh announced today that his
department has held ns legal a $45,000
school bond issue of District No. 59,
Falls City.
The legality of the issue had been
questioned by the Peters Trust com
pany of Omaha, purchasers of the
bonds, the trust company being of the
opinion that sufficient notice of the
bond Issue election had not been
given to satisfy a court, were the mat
ter to be contested. The company
asked that It be submitted to the
courts for test, but In the opinion of
Ralph Lawrence, bond examiner In
the auditor's office, this Is not nec
essary.
He finds that notice was given on
July 6, 12 and 19 In a legal weekly
paper and that that constitutes a
20-day notice that satisfies the pro
visions of the statutes. In a letter to
Senator Wlltse of Falls City he points
out that the statutes do not require
notice to he given ‘immediately
prior" to the election, which In this
case, took place August 1.
Ho finds further that out of 145
votes cast, 13! were In favor of the
Issue, and ho believes that even had
greater publicity been given to the
election tho remaining number of
qualified voters in the district could
not affect the result.

Approves Drive
Against Speed
Tom Carroll Endorses The
Omaha Bee Campaign
Against Reekless Driving.
Special Dlepatch to The Omaha Bee.
I.incoln,* Oct. 11.—"That's great,”
declared Torn Carroll, state law en
forcement officer today, referring to
Tho Omaha Hee's campaign against
reckless driving.
"It’s largely a matter of education,
anyway,” ha continued. “When peo
ple find out how hazardous It Is to
drive at a high rate of speed, hazard
ous to themselves ns well as to oth
ors, we'll see a stop to a lot of this
reckless driving-."
AVhen asked about reported slack
ness in the enforcement of the state
dimmer law, he said:
That is rather a matter for local
authorities. We are organized for
tho enforcement of prohibition and
tho detection and prevention of au
tomobile thefts. It would be prac
tically impossible for us to take care
of the dimming as well, though there
is no question that It should be en
forced.
“It Is particularly dangerous on the
country roads where high speeds are
maintained, although there Is speed
limit on country roads of 35 miles an
hour* Jlowe%’er, It Is,not generally
enforced because many counties lack
the facilities, but the enforcement
there should be conducted much as It
is In the cities. It's the law, it should
be observed, and county officials
should see to it that It Is observed."
