Fools Have Value.
Four Greatest Horses.
For C. H. K. Curtis—
Some Comfort.
ARTHUR BRISBANE J
A fool has value—to the knave
that robs him.
Bucket shop cotton brokers in
bankruptcy include in their as
sets, valued at $100,000, a
precious “sucker list.”
That list, chief asset of many
dishonest concerns, includes
names of the people that write and
then sent in money in reply to
“come-on” letters from bucket
shop, oil swindlers, etc.
“Once a sucker, always a
sucker” is the th'eves' motto. The
same human fool, like the sucker
at the bottom of the pond, will
bite again and again at the bait
that has hooked him. The court
ordered the “sucker list” of 65,
000 names placed in a special ac
count.
The four greatest race horses in
the world—or at least the four
best advertised—Zev, Papyrus,
Epinard and Grey Lag, will race
this year at Ascot.
Any one of those horses would
sell for at least $100,000.
The automobile show, not far
off. will show you various cars,
selling for a few hundred dollars,
any one of which could take the
four greatest race horses, one
after another, and run them all
to death in one afternoon.
Once fast horses were impor
tant. Now they are part of
gambling machinery, and they
won’t last long.
Here’s comfort for Cyrus 11.
K. Curtis, who changes the New
York Post price from 3 cents to
5 cents. It’s the kind of paper
you make, not the price that
counts. When the Chicago Eve
ning American sold for 1 cent it
had a big circulation. The price
of jiaper went up, it sold at 2
cents and had a bigger circulation
The price of paper doubled,
wages increased. The Chicago
American sold and now sells at 3
cents. And in December, 1923,
it beat all circulation records for
December whether at 1 cent, 2
cents or 3 cents.
In fact, at 3 cents, as you may
learn, from that able newspaper
man, Victor Lawson, the Chicago
American exceeds in circulation
the fine circulation of the Chicago
Daily News at 2 cents.
It's the kind of paper that de
cides the circulation. Publishers
are interested in that.
Lord Gorell, leading British au
thority on education, says the
trouble with British character is
lack of initiative— the energy that
starts things going. Americans, he
says, excel all others in initiative.
England’s trouble comes from
too severe suppression of the ten
dency to brag. No English young
man must, by any chance, talk as
though he thought he might ever
amount to anything.
It is not so here and was not
always so in Britain.
The young Briton that took
Quebec and died in the taking,
bragged and strutted so much, be
fore he undertook the task, that
his superior was tempted to dis
miss him. But the bragging
changed to action, initiative, when
lie reached the foot of the steep
bluff. Bragging in moderation is
only ambition letting off steam.
Don’t discourage it too severely.
Some dull, overfed editors that
specialize in attacks on Hiram
Johnson, using sluggish minds and
ox-like humor in their attacks, are
not serving their bosses as well as
they might.
It looks now like a Coolidge
nomination, and to many, perhaps
the majority, and certainly all
those that hate paying taxes, it
looks like a Coolidge election.
But there are some months
ahead. There is in Hiram John
son an amount of fighting energy
that dull persons should not for
get. Too much stirring up may
stir up more than the Johnson op
ponents have in mind.
Secretary Hughes gives out more
"important proof" of the danger
ous attempt by Russia to estab
lish bolshevism here and put the
red flag on the White House. You
remble as you read an article
"written to be published in a ‘red’
newspaper that was to he pub
lished in Chicago."
The "red” newspaper was never
published in Chicago, and so the
article was never published. But
just think what might have hap
pened if somebody had published
lhat red newspaper in Chicago and
that red newspaper had printed
the article.
Could anything have saved the
W'hite House from the red flag
then?
Australia is building factories to
manufacture turtle soup on a gi
gantic scale. London will easily

Charles Curry, Mail of Mys
tery, Is Identified as an
Escaped Prisoner from
v Colorado.
Lincoln. Jan. 6.—Charles Curry,
convict at the state penitentiary who
sprang into national prominence sev
eral months ago as the possible pos
sessor of •(formation regarding black
mailers of the late I J. Folsom who
committed suicide while mayor of
Irvington, N. J.. is an escaped life
termer from the Colorado peniten
tiarv.
This was disclosed today by N. T
Harman of t lie state braved of paroles
and pardons who has listed Curry for
a hearing before the board January
8 when it is expected that he will be
turned over to Colorado authorities.
Harmon refused to divulge the
manner in which Curry was traced to
the Nebraska penitentiary, but denied
that his whereabouts had been dis
covered through newspaper dis
patches regarding Curry's connection
with Folsom.
Record in Wisconsin.
The Colorado records show that
Curry .was received at the state pen!
tentiary at Canon City. May T. 1903.
and escaped May 11, 1916. Curry has
declared, Harmon said, that he was
convicted of manslaughter and given
a life sentence following a shooting in
a poolroom. He maintains his in
nocetv e and pine s the blame upon a
companion who escaped. He is call
ed, on the Colorado records, Red
Price, which is one of three nliases
used by him. thv others being Charles
Perry and Charles Mallard.
X'nder the name of Charles Perry.
Curry was sentenced to the Wisconsin
penitentiary November 21, 1916 for
issault and robbery, and was released
February 21, 1923. Milwaukee police
who apprehended Curry following the
robb rv declare that he had been
previously arrested a number of
times for being drunk anil disorderly
Robbed Omaha Policeman.
Curry was sentenced to two years
it the Nebraska penitentiary Septem
ber 17, 1923, on a charge of breaking
and entering. In liis last exploit he
had the misfortune to select the room
of an Omaha policeman. George Pad
u-ett. as the scene of bis endeavors
and was captured by Padgett.
The convict first gained promlnenot
when his name became linked with
Mayor Folsom, whose suicide because
of blackmail to which he was sub
voted aroused widespread interest
Folsom had he< n an inmate of the
Auburn penitentiary. New York, but
after his release had made good and
was a prosperous and respected e|t
izen of Irvington when blackmailers,
familiar with hi* past, threatened
him with exposure.
Although Curry has never admitted
the fact, and the state board has no
record to prove it. it has been ns
slimed that Curry first met Folsom in
the New York penitentiary.
He has repeatedly declared that he
is in imssesKion of inforrnat'on which
would lend to the apprehension of
Folsom's blaekmnlleis but raid, when
press'd by newspaper men for infor
mation. that he would reveal nothing
until after his release

His statement brought the son of
the late mayor,, Louis Folsom, from
Irvington to Lincoln where he Inter
viewed Curry behind closed doors for
more than an hour. When asked If
he had secured the information he do.

Rincoln. Jan. 6.—The hearing of
the senate committee investigating
Nebraska's load tangles will come
and go without Charles \V. Bryan
Tuesday unless the governoi has a
sudden mental somersault. Hiding
behind a meeting of the board of
paroles and pardons, which falls on
the same day. Bryan expresses his
regret that Nebraska's penitentiary
inmates apd their desire for freedom
will prevent him from proving a
: $400,000 deficiency exists in the road
fund.
When it is suggested that the hear
ing may be continued for another
day the governor. Instead of eargerly
embracing this opportunity to come
forward with his figures, announces
that he will have to give the matter
a little consideration.
"I only just received the commit
tee's invitation," he pleads, which
passes muster until some one* is un
kind enough to point out that tho
governor lias known, for months,
that ha would be asked to appear.
As a matter of fact. Governor
Bryan Is not required, by statute, to
lie present at the hearing of tho
board of paroles and pardons. The
constitution provides that "said
board, or a majority thereof, shall
have power to remit fines and forfeit
uies and to grant commutations, par
dons and paroles after conviction and
judgment * • * but no such fine or
forfeiture shall be remitted, and no
•onimutation, pardon or parole grunt
ed except upon the approval of the
majority of the board after a full
hearing In open session." .
Two members of the board can si;
with lull power to act and have done
so in the past. For two meetings
Attorney General Spillman was ab
sent. but tiie action of the board was
rot impeded. However, there is
nothing to prevent Governor Bryan
from attending the Morning session
of the board and a portion of the
afternoon session, as well, if he de
sires and still arrive at the state
house in time to give his testimony.
The follow ing pretty well expresses
the opinion of state house officials on
Bryan's attitude:
The truth of the matter is, the
governor has no great liking for the
committee's hearing where every
statement that he makes can he
checked up by figures gathered to
gether after months of investigation,
The governor is as adept as any poli
tician in Nebraska in presenting one
side of a ease, hut when there is a
likelihood that both aides will lie of
fered in evidence It is a different
■story.
It may be clever politics to stay
away from embarrassing questions,
hut Governor Bryan will find that
the road situation is no longei
political. The good name of the stale
of Nebraska and its credit standing
Sire Involved. Road claim* are no
longer footballs to ho kicked from
one camp to another. The senate
committee has long since realized
this and has been careful to keep a
political angle from creeping into the
investigation.
The governor lias been asked to
[appear because, through public state
ment*. lie is apparently in possession
-f Information regarding road claims.
Tho committee Is entitled to that In
formation. It Is understood on good
authority that the committee Is pre
pared to prove many of the gover
nor's statements exaggerations—to
put It politely. That, however, is be
side the point. The governor lias
publicly declared that Nebraska has
a deficiency of $100,000. He owes it
to Nebraska's voters to come for
ward and either prove that declara
tion or dlsrlsim It.
Thorns W. Browne, stats railway
commissioner, has been chosen as
chairman of the commission, surest!*
tng II. O. Taylor, wlto must stand
for re-election this year.
Governor Bryan is evidently n
careful render of newspaper edi
torials. When he is warned against
throwing democratic candidates who
have already announced themselves
out of court because they are olli-d
wlllt issues growing out of the war
he promptly announces that he had
no such intention.
"I was dealing with issues, not per
sonalitirs,'' says the governor, and
throws in a few bouquets for the
gentlemen who are anxious to lead
'lie democratic party.
It will be Interesting to see if the
Bryan delegation to the democratir
national convention will lie actuated
by the same generous Impulses win n
a poll is taken on W (i McAdoo and
Oscar Underwood. Republicans at
the state house are willing to stake
their reputations as prophets to pru
diet that Messrs. McAdoo and Under
wood will find the going hard and
stony when they issue pleas for the
Bryan controlled delegates
There are 16 votes from Nebraska
and these, with the few that William
Jennings ran gather together in his
travels alsuit the south, can cause a
lot of trouble for any candidate who
must overcome the rule nf the conven
tion that a bate majority does not
elect.
Of course there Is always s catch

Loan Value and
Space Buying
BUSINESS concerns seeking credit at regular intervals
submit detailed audits by disinterested public ac
countants. The banker making the loan demands it.
These audits instantly disclose the exact financial condi*
tion of the business. They show the true value of inven
tories and assets; costs of operation; profits and loss.
Such an audit creates confidence and is considered a
necessity in banking operations.
The A. B. C. audit serves a similar purpose in advertising.
A publisher or his representative in selling space presents
his latest A. B. C. report. This shows quantity, territory
of distribution, methods by which circulation was secured,
and many other details necessary for the intelligent pur
chase of advertising space.
A study of the A. B. C. audit brings out every detail of cir
culation data, and immediately establishes confidence be
tween the Buyer and Seller of Space.
For .ublishers to sell and advertisers to buy on the basis
of A. B. C. reports is nothing more than putting efficient
Business Methods into Advertising.
