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.

Bandits" “Angel*"
Is Discovered
Detectives Locate Prospective
Rendezvous—Woman Fi
nances Operations.
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.”

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.
"The chemists of the prohibition
unit of the United States government
told me that they analysed 44,000
samples of bootleg boOze In 1922 and

All the rest was counterfeit. That is

The Eadies Home Journal sent Mr.
Macdonsld to the provinces! 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

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.

torical analogies when you are face

preparedness must be revised. That

Reduction of 12,000,000 Acres

The committee, Mr. Anderson said,
