Today Thents Harsh Words. The Coppers Got Anna. Religion s Power Lasts. Do You Love Goldfish? ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Woodrow Wilson notices deteri oration in the people of the United States since he led them. In one carefully built sentence of more than 160 words sent broadcast over the radio he ends with the statement that after the war this nation “withdrew into a sullen and selfish isolation, which is deeply ignoble, because manifestly cowardly and dishonorable.” “Ignoble, cowardiy, dishonor able.” “Them’s harsh words,” as the fishwife said when the learned man replied to her abuse in geo metrical terms. Perhaps some radio listeners, when they came to the three words, “ignoble, cowardly, dis honorable,” turned the knob and “tuned in” on somebody else’s good night story. If so, it was a mistake. All the Woodrow Wilson radio talk was instructive. It indicates, first, that he is not a candidate for the 1924 democratic nomination; second, that it is possible “to indict an entire nation.” Anna Baron, aged 16, is Chi cago’s latest “bandit queen.” Five men were with her in a big stolen racing car when the police shot up the car and captured Anna. Her mother says! “I’m glad the coppers got Anna. They may learn her something in jail. “When she was young Anna was good, helped wash tha babies, took care of them. Then she got ‘wild’.” Her parents “tried everything.” In fact, the mother says, the father had locked Anna in a shed with a chain, padlocked to her leg, on the night when she got away and was arrested. That picture of modern educa tion and home life would interest Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Herbert Spencer, Froebel and other edu cators. They might suggest that “the coppers” teach something “in Jail” to other members of the bandit queen’s family. Religion is still powerful in na tional affairs. In Germany it plays a greater part than socialism, bol shevism or capitalism. The Wit telsbachs, royal Catholic family of Bavaria, who furnished kings to Germany long before the Protest ant Hohenzollerns were known, are again rivals of those Hohen zollerns for the rule of Germany, when it shall become too weak to rule itself. Stresemann, managing the Ger man republic, allowed the Hohen zollern crown prince to return from Holland, that his royal Pro testant influence might offset the revolutionary royal Catholic in fluence of the Wittelsbachs in Bavaria. To let one royal religion fight another is his plan. At Canossa, long ago, a German emperor crossing the mountains in winter stood in the snow, peni tent, barefoot, in the courtyard of the pope’s palace. Bismarck thought that was ended when he uttered his famous “Wir gehen nicht nach Canossa”— “We are not going to Canossa.” But you never can tell. Relig ion, oldest force in human nature, next to self-preservation, repro duction and ambition, will play a part in this world for many a year. One American concern is tend erly nursing 5,000,000 young gold fish for next year’s market. You would hardly guess why. It has to do with the housing problem in big cities Modern apartments are small, landlords and janitors very “independent.” Sometimes, no children are allowed, cats and dogs are forbidden, but humans must love something. No landlord objects to a gold fish bowl. So the sale of goldfish increases. They take up little room And while not very affectionate, you at least don’t have to put them to bed, turn them out at night, or send for the doctor. There isn't any goldfish doctor. Their sleep doesn’t worry you, for you can’t tell whether they sleep or not If they die, they just die. An excel lent thing to love, quite an im provement from many points of view, on a living child. Buy a goldfish. Columbus Legion Will Sponsor Education Week Columbus.

Mrs. Lucille Malstrom, Villisca, la., is the "angel'’ who financed the Boone farm, north of Florence, alleged to have been a prospective headquarters for a bandit gang, and which was raided Monday afternoon by a squad of detectives, according to po lice. It was she, detectives say, who fur nished the money for the defense of Floyd Holloday, arrested in the raid, and obtained his release when he was in court recently charged with threatening to kill his wife. Later, they say, Holloday was estab lished on the Boone farm by Mrs. Malstrom and a quantity of livestock found on the farm is believed to have been stolen from various farms over an area of several square miles, detectives allege. Others Arrested. Edward McCarthy was arrested with Holloday as part owner of the farm, together with Edward N. Neary, 1302 Douglas street; Hazel Bower, 2320 North Sixty-first street, and. Bertha Flshbough, 805 South Eight eenth street. The raid on the farm was made by Detectives Gurnett, I’almtag, Munch. Ryan, Summit, Trapp, Bu ford and Towley, all armed with sawedoff shotguns. The detectives had expected resistance. The farm is so located, they say, that one man with a rifle might stand off 50 men. All persons arrested in the raid are, held for investigation. A grip con taining jewelry, property of Joe Hardesty and Henry Phillips, said to be crooks now operatln in Minneapolis, was found in the farm home. House Resembles Fort. “Holiday evidently Intended to es tablish the place as a rendezvous for a gang of criminals this winter," said Detective Gurnett. "The farm house sits up on a hill and looks like it was Intended for a fort.” Ralph Danewood, 3825 Fort street, arrested by Detectives Palmtag and Gurnett later in the day, in connec tion with several holdups in Omaha, is alleged to have been a frequenter of the farm.

Social Worker Says “Keeping 'Em on Farm" Is Not All of Problem Chicago, Nov. 18.—Persons guiding rural Junior activities should do more than seek to "keep ’em down on the farm," Miss Maude Sheridan, state leader of home economics and club work In Colorado, declared at the convention of the Association of Land Grant Colleges here today. Miss Sheridan said that in the traln tng of the Junior demonstrator It should be kept In mind that he may not choose to live on the farm until he Is grown. "The boy or girl in the country school,” said Miss Sheridan, "should receive such an amount and quality of training as to fit him or her for making more valuable contributions to society In any event, no matter what the extent of the responsibility may be. He should always be alert to community problems and not sink to the level of the Individualism ex hibited In foreign lands.” AD V KRT1NEME.NT.

Ladies Home Journal “Crusader” in Omaha place I bought from eight to a dozen samples of so-called whisky, and not one drop of it was genuine. As I went along I became obsessed with the yearning to find at least one bot tle of genuine booze. T hunted for it everywhere. I bought it in the big gest hotels. I had business men steer me into clubs, where they assured me only the real stuff was sold, and I secured samples there, but analysis disclosed that all of It was fraudulent stuff. “In New York city I was telling my experiences to the editor of one of the leading daily papers there, and he said, to me: “ 'Do you really want to buy a bot tle of genuine w-hisky?’ “I told him I was combing the country in search of it. " ‘All right,’ he said, with a confi dent air, ‘I'll get it for you,’ and he took me to his club, one of the best In that city, and he ordered a bottle of guaranteed whisky. An analysis showed that it was the poorest qual ity of alcohol, flavored and colored, and that the cork, labels and cap were counterfeit. Enough Poison to Kill. “I was in Walker’s distillery, In Walkersvllle, Toronto, where Cana dian Club whisky is made and the owners showed me several hundred bottles on shelves. To me each one appeared to be genuine Canadian Club, but not one was genuine. Each of those hundreds of bottles was a dif ferent counterfeit bought in the United States since prohibition went into effect. Some of the labels were so nearly like the genuine that a microscope was required to detect the counterfeit. "The contents of each bottle there had been analyzed. Not one was fit to drink. The contents of one had been made by redistilling rubbing al cohol, which had been denatured by putting some kind of poison In it, which, when boiled, deposited enough of a white powder to fill a table spoon. The chemist said, pointing to It: " ‘There Is enough poison to kill two men outright.’ “The makers of Canadian Club whisky told me that they had sept scouts Into the big cities of the United States to buy samples of Ca nadian Club wherever they could; they had bought thousands of bot tles, but never had succeeded In get ting one that was genuine. Even in one of the biggest and most exclusive clubs of Chicago the Canadian Cluh whisky served to members was a poisonous Imitation. Sure Omaha Hasn't Any.

Quebec, Canada, last summer to Investigate the workings of the liquor law there, which permits the unrestricted sale of light wine and beer. “I saw more drunkenness there than I ever saw under the old days of open saloons," said Mr. Macdon old. "The sale of light wine and beer does not solve the liquor prob lem. People drink beer for the kick that is in it and they get drunk on that almost as readily as on any other form of booze. I found that to be true in Quebec.” Mr. Macdonald was for many years with The Kansas City Star, and the late William H. Neison, editor and publisher of that paper, said of him that he was the best newspaper re porter he had ever known. While Billy Sunday was holding meetings In Omaha Mr. Nelson sent Macdonald here to try and induce Sunday to come to Kansas City. Sun day said: “I’ll go If they show me that they want me there." Converted l>y Hilly Sunday. Thereupon Macdonald returned to Kansas City and brought back with him to Omaha a delegation of leading business men and preachers that filled several cars, and when Hunday saw that delegation march Into the Loyal hotel he leaped atop of a tabic and exclaimed: "Let us pray." Billy Sunday went to Kansas City and held there one of the most suc cessful meetings of hlB career; 32,000 were converted, among them Mac donald, himself, who afterward went with Mr. Sunday as his publicity agent through his campaign of 10 weeks in New York City and his 10 weeks In Chicago. "Billy is a good old scout," said Macdonald yesterday. "He Is a de vout Christian and the greatest genius I have ever met. I like him fine. If you want to get a rise out of me Just say something against good old Billy Sunday." Macdonald asserts that the big Bible class of 52,000 men which met last Sunday In Convention hall In Kansas City, the largest Bible class in the world, is a direct outgrowth of the Billy Sunday meetings in Kan sas City. "That Bible class was born In the Billy Sunday meetings," he said. Won Fame Through Frank Case. Macdonald hat wlrtten many not able newspaper stories, some of them known as classics of Journalism. One of those was the story of the Leo Frank case in Georgia. Frank was a Jew who had been convicted and sentenced to be hung in Atlanta for the murder of a girl who worked In a pencil factory of which he was manager. Macdonald was sent to Atlanta by the Kansas Cty Star to write a /itory about the case, and while Investigating it he became con vinced that Frank was innocent. He was almost alone in that belief, but he did believe it with ull his heart and soul, and with a burning zeal he went to work to prove that Frank was Innocent. The stories he wrote about that case were reprinted in the biggest newspapers in America. His presentation of the evidence In the case was so convincing that the conscience of America was awakened and there began a national move ment to reopen the Frank case and get a new trial. This was about to meet with success when a mob, made up mostly of Jew haters and Jew halters, broke into the prison, took Frank out to a lonely spot and hanged him to a tree. Mr. Macdonald left last night for Iowa where he will spend a week gathering material for an article about the cost of maintaining con solidated rural schools. Says U. S. Should Have Shunned War Israel Zangwill Declares Strife Would Have Ended in Draw Otherwise. New York, Nov. 13.—The United States was not attacked In the last war and "It would have been better for the world, as things turned out. if you had not gone In at all," Israel Zangwill, English author, today wrote as part of his reply to S. Stanford Menken, president of the National Security league, who, In a speech at Perth Amboy, N. J., last night challenged Zangwlll’s recent criticism of things American. "There then wotild have been a draw and militarism would have been killed instead of reviving In other countries," Zangwill continued. "$Iy Idea of the folly of preparedness does not attach to America alone, but to all the world. I am for the policy of disarmament which I believe Is also an American Ideal and which was the reason why our statesmen In England, at least—Asquith for ex ample—were determined to prolong the war Indefinitely. “It Is useless mentioning old his torical analogies when you are face to face with such terrible new weap ons of destruction that all Ideas of preparedness must be revised.
