Today On the Field of Honor. W. J. Bryan, Please. And Reed, of Missouri. Women Are so Queer. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Woodrow Wilson was stricken with an illness against which he fought courageously while engaged in the public service and carrying on his shoulders the heaviest load that any man has borne since Lin coln died. It may well be said for Woodrow Wilson wha,t is said each year on the Place des Invalides when the oldest man in his regiment steps from the line and answers to the name of d'Auvergne—“Dead on the field of honor." Wise citizens of Florida won’t hesitate any longer about sending William J. Bryan,to represent them as delegate in the democratic con vention. Judging by news from Washington, Mr. Bryan may have to overcome his reluctance and take the democratic nomination himself. First, he will go around like Diogenes for a while, with a lantern and then say: “I guess you will have to take me.” Jf republicans and democrats are looking only for an honest man they will have no trouble. Luckily there are many such. The republicans have an absolutely honest man in Coolidge. They have another honest and in addition, a courageous fighter in Hiram John son. And don't forget that the latest jevelopments make Senator Reed of Missouri as important a man as any in the country. He is not afraid of any man in or out of his own party. It may prove hard to keep the democratic nomination from him. Women are queer; perhaps you noticed it. After Mrs. Grover Cleveland Clanton found that her husband had lived with another wo man, she permitted him to bring the other lady and a young baby to her house. But the other woman “fussed with her baby so much” that the wife could not stand it. Now she is leaving her husband, but—and here is queer conduct of which no man would be guilty— she says she has grown fond of his six children by his first marriage (her step children) and even fond ■of the new 9 months old baby, and offers to take them all with her and take care of them. But she has done with triangles. Among suicides statistic* show that there are at least three times as many women as men. That answers the question, “Do women have a fair chance in life?” They do not. With women suicide starts in the heart usually and with men in the pocket. A learned police magistrate says giving wamen the right to vote has made the^ belligerent. “They ought to be put in the front line of trenches and take their chance with men in the next war,” says he. Women might reply to the magis trate, ‘‘All right, if you will take your place in a front cot of the Lying-in hospital, and nurse your baby after you have it.” All went off nicely at Herschel island yesterday afternoon. The mounted policemen with a warrant arrived, after traveling 2,000 miles. Alik Gmiak and Tetamangam are to be neatly and safely hanged in the mounted police barracks. These two Eskimos will appear on the last day, thoroughly puzzled, and feel like Mr. Lazinisky when his friend found found him in prison: “I don’t know why I am here; I was only a witness.” This i* what happened. The judge asked, “What is your name?” I told him "Lazinisky.” Then he asked, “How old are you?^’ 1 told him 50 years. Then lie asked, “Where were you born?” 1 told him Russia. After that he asked me what my reason was and I said, "Now, judge, don’t be a— fool,” and he sent me to jail. These Eskimos will never know just why they were hanged. A white man tried to take one of their girls. They killed him- -that's all. One sad eyed conservative com plains that the senate committee is handling and breaking down reputations with utter recklessness. The answer is that certain gentle men began it by disposing of the navy’s oil reserve thus weakening the navy, and committing treason against this country, “With utter recklessness,” also. If you buy real estate in the right place at the right price you will make money. Some time ago the United States bought a little piece of land for a lighthouse at Samis Point, Long Island, paying $512. The government doesn’t need the land now and has sold it to Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont for $100,000. It happened to be next to her house and Hhe didn’t want a bathing beach there. Buy good real estate.

No opiates* 35c and 60c aims said ^ Wilson Honored More as Invalid Than President Crowds Often Stood in Rain Just to See Old War-Time Chief Entering Theater. Washington, Feb. 3.—Wilson, the sick man, was a greater object of friendly Interest In Washington than the Wilson of war days. The national capital never lost Its head or its balance when big men came along; it was used to that type. But after Wilson had been stricken, when, broken in health, he sought to get back the strength he had given to his task, even that part of Wash ington which hated his policies and his powers, felt a softening around the heart as it saw him bent low'. Harding, as a new president, never oazzled Washington. It had known him as a senator, and there waa no wild rush for the windows as he drove through the streets. In the picture theaters of Washington, when Harding's likeness was shown, there was a scattering handclap. But when Wilson’s picture was shown there always was a deafening burst of applause. The thing was so pro nounced that the president and the former president were never shown on the same screen. "Oh. Washington Is a southern community,” was the stock answer people got when they asked about the greater applause for Wilson. Wilson Liked Theater. Mr. Wilson liked the theater. He liked vaudeville especially. In the early years of his administration he went frequently to the theater with out attracting undue attention. Peo ple applauded respectfully, but not loudly, when he entered. The same was true of Harding. After he left the White House, however, there was a changed atti tude on the part of the Washington public toward Mr. Wilson. Nearly every Saturday night when the con dition of his falling health would permit he attended ‘a vaudeville theater. His weekly visit seemed somehow to become a local event. By 8 the streets around were packed With men and women. Mr. Wilson's car always drove into an alley into which a side door of the theater opened. The crowd around the corner always was so dense that extra policemen were de tailed regularly "for Wilson night." Street car traffic was halted. The Wilson party always remain ed seated In the theater until the audience had left. Wilson occupied an obscure corner near the alley cn trance. The laborious effort to enter the car—which he could not do with out assistance—was the most path etic sight Washington ever bpheld. It touched the hearts of a cold blooded town. Honor* Faithful Wife. Week after week the crowds stood in the street, often in pouring rain, simply to get a fleeting glin^pse of the old war time president. Some of the biggest men in national life used to stand in the shadows across the street from the theater to see how Wilson looked. They had read of his affliction; they had seen a picture of him now and then, hut they wanted to see for themselves. Washington never saw Wilson without his wife. Harding, not a particular lover of vaudeville, never went to that same theater on Satur day nights. When he did go, his car stopped at the main entrance, with out Interfering with street traffic. Much of this show of affection for the former president unquestionably was due to his broken condition. And Washington always wanted to lift its voice in praise of the faithful wife. No woman ever was more devoted, more attentive, more sympathetic. That was the universal verdict. Sugar Mill to Pay Freight in Dakota Belle, Fourclv. S. F>., Feb. 8. — F>et growers of the Belle Fourche valley are pleased by the recent an nouncement of the Groat Western Sugar company of relief for the growers of the freight hitherto paid by them. Freight from this section amounts to 82 per ton, 8110 of which was paid by the sugar com pany and the remainder by the grow ers. This year's contract is said by Mr. Steck to be the best ever offer ed In this locality. INVESTIGATE M DEATHS HERE Puzzled and much alarmed by the ever-increasing number of deaths from heart and kidney diseases in this country, medical authorities after a careful investigation have found thnt an appallingly large number of serious heart and kidney ills are caused by remedies contain ing Acetanilide. They have proved that Acetanilide deteriorates the blood, degenerates the heart, kid neys and liver and often forms a habit. For those reasons physicians very seldom prescribe Acetanilide. But 95% of all proprietary cold and headache remedies still contain this harmful drug. To combat the harm done to the health of millions by those remedies chemists have perfected a prepara tion called Nebrin, which is free from Acetanilide or other harmful drugs and which can be used with absolute safety and splendid results as a household remedy for colds, headaches, neuralgia, rheumatism and pains in general. Every intel ligent, health - loving man and woman is urged to discontinue the use of cold and headache mixtures containing Acetanilide and to insist upon getting Nebrin, a remedy that, is safe and efficient in every way. Aspirin users should also give Nebrin a trial. They will find Nebrin entirely free of the depress ing artion thnt. is so objectionable in Aspirin. Nebrin is not expensive and ran be obtained nt all local druggists.—Advertisement. Woodrow Wilson Visited in Omaha in 1916 and 1919; Made Historic Address on League at Auditorium First \ isit Here Was for Nebraska Semi-Centennial Pageant Given by Ak-Sar-Ben; Last Visit Was on Speaking Tour for Peace Treaty; Took Auto Ride Through City. - I Woodiow Wilson visited Omaha on October 5, 1916, on the occasion of the Nebraska semi-centennial pageant, un der the auspices of tho Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, and he was here on Sep tember 8, 1919, when he spoke in the Auditorium on the ratification of the league of nations covenant and the peace treaty. On both occasions he was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson. His latter appearance here was In connection with a cross-country Itiner ary, beginning at Washington, Sep tember anL* closing at Wichita, Kan., on September 27, when Dr C. T. Grayson decided that the presi dent suffered overexertion on the long tour to the Pacific coast. The presi dent’s special train arrived here from Des Moines at 5 a. m„ and at 9 a. m. a committee comprising G. W. Wat ties, Gould Dietz, Mayor Kd P. Smith and Arthur F. Mullen went to Union depot. An automobile ride through the city was followed by an address in the Auditorium at 10. During the ride Mr. Wattles and Mr. Dietz rode with the president and his wife In the first automobile. Arrangements were made to have teachers assemble school children at points of observe tion. To Sioux City. During his address In tlie Audi torium the president said: "If 1 felt that l personally in any way stood in the way of this settlement. I would be glad to die that It might be con summated, because I have a vision, that if this thing should by some mishap not be accomplished, there would rest forever upon the fair name of this people a stain which could never bd effaced, which would be unendurable to every lover of America." He was urging ratification of the peace treaty unreservedly by the senate of the United States. The president’s train left here at noon for Sioux Falls, the itinerary then being to St. Paul, Helena. Seat tle, other coast cities and then east ward to Wichita where the speaking tour was terminated. While here on that visit the presi dent said: "I am happy to appeal for the acceptance of the peace treaty, not as a representative of a party*, but as the representative of the people of the whole United States." Special Stand. The visit of President Wilson here in 1916 was a notable occasion, be cause the SV-mi-centennial pageant had been prepared at great expense for Ak-Sar-Ben visitors, and also on account of the visit of the president and party. , Mrs. Wilson at that time had not long occupied the position of first lady of the land. There seemed to be almost as much, Interest In Mrs. Wilson ns there was In the chief executive of the nation. The presidential party occupied a special reviewing stand In front of the court house. Mcniliers of the party remarked that the president was unusually happy on this visit. He enjoyed the many features of the parade, tapping time for the In dian dancens who tarried for a few minutes In front of the reviewing stand. Iteferred to Omaha. When one of the bands struck up "Dixie," Mis. Wilson applauded en thusiastically, she being a native of Virginia. On various subsequent occasions, while in Washington, President Wil son referred to his visit to Omaha on the occasion of the semi-centennial pageant. The crowd in Omaha on that day was estimated at 300,000. The president arrived at 11:40 ft. m., and was escorted immediately to J EATMOR I \ CRANBERRIES! 1 C Mott healthful—most ■ / economical of all fruits!

After reviewing the pageant Mr. Wilson went to the Union Stock yards to view the exhibits of the Na tional Swine show. Enjoyed the Day. He attended a formal dinner at Hotel Fontenelle, where 30 round ta bles were set. During the evening he spoke in the Auditorium, referring to the early history of the west and to -> business program for the world's work. When that busy and interesting day had drawn to a close, the presi dent said: "We have enjoyed today, Omaha’s historical parade was n revelation of achievement of the middle west—a demonstration of greater things to come.” Officer Shoots Himself to Saw Girl He Loves Watchman Admits Deed That Prevented Incriminating Evidence Against His Sweetheart.

Third residence south Wilson, Stricken First, Lived to Burv Successor Hardings Centle Considera tion for Predecessor at In auguration Noted l»y Many. Ity AsMx-intfMl Pre4M. Washington, Kcb. 3.—Death laid Its fingertips on Woodrow Wilson—as It did on his successor, Warren O. Hard ing—while he was on a speaking trip In the west. While Harding s collapse led to ap oplexy and death within a week, Wil son's led to paralysis and a lingering disability of years. Strangely enough, Wilson was cam paigning for the entry of the United States Into the league of nations, Harding was campaigning for the en try of the country into the world court. Wilson lived to see Harding dead and burled, participating In the lat ter's funeral, and yet any one of the hundreds of thousands of men and women who saw the two men riding to the caplto! together on the day of Harding's inauguration, March 4, 1921, would have wagered Harding would help lay Wilson under the sod. One Right of all the inauguration spectacle which thousands of Amer icans took home with them was Hard ing's gentle consideration for his stricken predecessor. He had actual ly helped lift Wilson down the steps of the White House portico and Into their carriage. On the way to the caplto] where he took the oath, he had silenced with a gesture the cheering throngs, in respect to the shrunken man beside him. Throughout all the Inauguration ceremony, Harding pur sued a studied course of careful con sideration for Wilson. It was the gen tleness of Harding's nature to do bo. and ns time told the acta were stored away In the memory of the man whom some called cold and unrespon sive and others called ungrateful. Embarrassed Silence. At the start of the ride that Inau guration day along Pennsylvania ave nue there was an embarrassed silence between the two men. Then Harding, i-asting about for a topic that would serve perhaps to take ills companion's mind away from the severe strain through which he was passing, start ed a discussion of White House pets, l-'rom that, the conversation led to talk of pet animals in general and llarding related a story of how his sister, a missionary In India, had been [touched by the devotion of an ele phant that In his last hours moaned piteously until his keeper had been summoned and then, folding the man to him and encircling him tenderly with Ills trunk, had peacefully and contentedly passed away. To his astonishment, when the story was over. Harding saw tears coursing down the wan cheek of the man beside him. Wilson, living in seclusion in his home here, never had any social Intercourse with Harding, but he al ways remembered him kindly. One night at a vaudeville show a motion picture of Wilson was thrown on the screen. His fellow townsmen gave it a roar of applause. Harding's picture followed and was greeted with a lesser demonstration. Inquiring faces were turned to Wilson. They saw his jsw set and his eyes flashing.

O'Neill, Neb., Feb. 3.—There will be no more cold weather In the upper Elkhorn and Dry creek valleys m north Nebraska until next winter. The ground hog came out Saturday as per schedule and although the day was bright and the sun enabled him to see his shadow an unfortunate encounter wjlth Scar-Face Billy, pet pickerel belonging to Frank Barrett, a Dry creek ranchman, prevented him from returning to his hole. He suc cumbed to his injuries a few hours later. The incident leading up to the fatality occurred shortly after noon, when the ground hog, which for years has had his lair In the timber along the banks of Dry creek, just below the Barrett ranch house, came out and becau»e of the open weather ventured further from his domicile than Is customary. said to those about him, “and I do not appreciate any such kind of a compliment." Time passed and one day death knocked at the White House door. It lingered there, too, reluctant to yo away. It was beckoning to Mrs. Harding. At the same time in his .secluded home, not many blocks away, Woodrow Wilson, the paralyzed Invalid, as ha supported his wavering frame upon his chair and said his prayer for grace as he sat down to his meals, murmured his plea to God that she might be restored to health. All that the world knew was that he drove to the White House door and left his card. Hater, with genuine sorrow, he participated in the state funeral for Mr. Harding and publicly declared him a president who "undoubtedly had won the esteem of the whole nation by his honorable and con scientious conduct in office."
