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. (Copyright 1923.)

Omaha.21 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.
