Toda
To Discourage Quacks.
Mr. Bok's Byproducts.
No Revolution, Please.
Cutting the Cow.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
Write to your congressman and
senators urging passage of “H. R.
£845.” It would ‘‘regulate the sale
of viruses, serums, toxins and sinri
Hr products,” ahd thus discourage
pirates that sell fraudulent "cures.”
The government protects cows
•' nd pigs from fake “remedies,” but
"hen human beings are concerned
the government board must license
■ ny worthless so-called “serum” or
"vaccine” as long as it is put up
in clean packages.
The new law, introduced by
Mr. Rathbone in the house and Dr.
Copeland in the senate, would com
pel those selling remedies to state
“in plain, prominent print” whether
or not the government board of
licenses approve the alleged remedy.
Dr. C. H. Lcvermore, who won
Mr. Bok’s $50,000 league of nations
prize, says he is not certain what
he would do if nominated for presi
dent by the republicans. He does
say that the senate must adopt
his plan for world peace.
"Must” is a big word.
Speaking of that presidential
nomination, would it be fair for
Dr. Levermore to take it since Mr.
Bok paid the freight on that ex
pedition? Any byproducts such as
presidential nomination, should go
to him. The fact that Mr. Bok
wasn’t born in the United States
needn’t interfere. With a league
of nations telling the United States
what to do. that part of the con
stitution might be changed. It
might, in order to mix up the na
tions thoroughly and promote
brotherhood; it might even be de
cided that only people bom out
side of the United States would be
eligible to the presidency.
Mr. W. Z. Foster, addressing
15,000 in New York’s Madison
Square Garden, advises his friends
to “join the party of Lenin and
further the work of revolution in
the United States.”
Why not wait a while and see
just how the revolution in Russia
comes out? Even a little thing
like a revolution ought to be first
considered and then begun rather
carefully. And the people should
be consulted before you hand a
revolution to them.
You might find in the United
States 15,000 really wanting a
revolution, especially if they didn’t
understand clearly what a revolu
tion would mean. Against the 16,
"00 you would have 109,986,000
•’not” wanting a revolution. These
Iso should be considered.
The world still studies the first
ibor government that the old earth
as ever seen, now in charge of the
'ritish empire. Y'ou can’t call the
overnment of the French revolu
on or the present Russian gov
nment “a labor government.”
’ey are purely revolutionary and
ooretical.
Ramsay Macdonald, British labor
vime minister, gives up one of two
.’5,000 salaries to which he is en
itled.
The English have brains enough
’o pay well men to whom they give
important jobs. This makes it un
necessary for oil companies or
others to pay them after they leave
office for services rendered while
in office.
British labor also decides that
it will not make a “capital levy”
which means taking away so much
from the capital of each individual.
That’s h wise suggestion. It’s all
light to milk a cow, but it’s a mis
take to cut a piece out of her.-that
discourages the cow.
Capital is a good deal like a cow
when it comes to cutting pieces out
of it. It loses courage, lies down
and doesn’t feel very well.
It is said of the great. Protestant
Episcopal cathedral, now building in
Washington, that it is to be “the
Westminister abbey of the United
States.” It takes more than a fine
building, however, to make a West
minister abbey. You couldn’t create
a Mount Vernon by building a nice
country house on the edge of a
liver. You must first have/your
George Washington.
To create a Westminister abbey
you want 1,000 years of history,
and 1,000 years of great men. It
can’t be made to order.
Between professors and modern
ist clergymen, you hardly know
what to believe. Here’s Dr. Chiera,
who teaches Assyriology at the
University of Pennsylvania, saying
that Adam was only an animal, run
ning around without clothing, be
cause he didn’tgjenow any better.
He adds that the Garden of Eden
was really nothing but a desert;
that our story of creation was con
cocted in Babylon, where the Jewish
vriters of the Old Testament got it
long ago.
Prof. Chiera says that it wasn’t
shame that made Adam and Eve put
cm clothing, but common sense. And
people got more intelligence when
they changed from animals to gen
tlemen and ladies wearing ready
-made clothing. He even goes so
far as to say, "I would not worship
a God who murdered and drowned
thousands of people.”

Log Mansion
Millionaire
Berne H. Hopkins, Wealthy
Ranch Owner South of
Bluffs, Goes East
With Fiancee.
Romance lias come to the log
mansion south of Council Bluffs, op
posite Child’s Point,' where lives
Berne H. Hopkins, reputed to be sev
eral times a millionaire.
Hopkins left Council Bluffs last
Saturday for New York City with
Miss Portia Doud, former nurse of
Kansas City, his fiancee. It is re
ported that they will be married be
fore their return.
In spite of the fact that the ex
terior of the Hopkins mansion is of
rough-hewn logs, located near the
center of a 1.260-acre tract of land,
it was recently decorated on the in
terior at a cost of $35,000. He has
other homes in New York, Los An
geles, Florida and Colorado Springs,
but prefers his log mansion on an
Iowa farm.
Born on Iowa Farm.
Hopkins was born an Iowa farm
boy. His father made fortunate oil
investments. Hopkins, after attain
ing his majority, made a few happy
investments of his own. His fortune
is estimated at $26,000,000.
The pleasures of a world run pleas
ure mad were at the beck of his hand,
at the scratch of his pen on a check
book.
He preferred an Iowa farm. After
his graduation from Princeton univer
sity. he bought the tract of land near
Council Bluffs, on which he built his
leg house, and which is equipped to
care for 25,000 pure bred hogs and
choice cattle.
His mother lives in his house at
Colorado Springs, together with (his
two children by his first wife, who is
now divorced.
Met at Kansas City.
The multi-millionaire met the wo
man he intends to marry while in
Kansas City more than a year ago.
She has visited at the Hopkins home
on the ranch near the river, where
her fiance lives with his brother. It
is understood she has in mind a few
decorations of her own for the log
palace.
She is a young woman in her 20s.
Hopkins is about 40.

Norris Turns Guns on Senators
Who Dabbled in Sinclair Oil
Suggests Probe of Wall Street
Books to Reach Speculators
Who Took Advantage
of Teapot Lease.
By Universal Service.
Washington, Feb. 5.—Senator Nor
ris. leader among the republican pro
gressives of the upper house, and un
til the present congresB, a member
of the senate committee investigating
the oil lease scandal, today Issued the
following statement:
By GEORGE \V. NORRIS,
United States Senator from Nebraska.
I am informed there is a report
current that a number of senators
and other high government officials
Ip Washington bought Sinclair Con
solidated Oil stock before the an
nouncement of the lease by Secretary
of the Interior Fail to Sinclair of
Teapot Dome, and then sold that
stock after the announcement of the
lease when the stock had risen.
I am asked what procedure could
be taken by the investigating com
mittee to ascertain the truth in re
gard to this, report.
In my judgment the committee
ought to go to the very bottom of
the entire matter and permit no ave
nue of escape for anybody, regardless
of the position he may hold.
v
I think the facts could be very
readily ascertained If the committee
would issue a subpoena, returnable
forthwith, directing the proper offi
cer of the New York Stock exchange
to appear before the committee with
the books that would show all the
rtock dealings from Washington cov
ering the time specified.
These books would show the
amount of stock and the number of
shares dealt In from day to day, with
• he price paid and the price received
when the sale was made after public
ity had been given to the Teapot
Dome lease. The books would prob
ably not show the names of the offi
cials who bought and sold, but they
would show the names of the stock
brokers In Washington through whom
the deals were consummated.
Then the committee could follow up
this Information by subpoenlng these
several stockbrokers and compelling
them to divulge the names of their
clients and to account for any dis
crepancies in totals that might exist
between the books of the stockbrok
ers In Washington and the records of
the exchange in New York. I have
no doubt whatever that the commit
tee will go to the bottom of the whole
Iking. They eannot afford to do any
thing less; and in my opinion they de
sire to bring out all the facts and
disclose all the circumstances con
nected with the affair.

Omaha freely responds to the business insti
tution that renders a conscientious service.

to serve their patrons in such a manner as to
gain and maintain their good will.
During Know Omaha Week we invite you to

Membeis of the Council Bluffs Fish

Council Bluffs sportsmen, have pre
vailed upon W. E. Children, state

I'. A. Llndgren, deputy United States
came warden, was shot and killed by
Louis and Sebastian Esposito, who
are now serving life terms for the
slaying.

Know Omaha
% ' i
<• I have believed in Omaha, since the days when it was a frontier
town. I am convinced that if the present generation will con
tinue' to progress as their fathers progressed, if they have the
same abiding faith in the destiny of the West, Omaha will
occupy an even more important place among cities than it does
now.
When I read the New Year’s reports of the tremendous volume
of packing, grain, smelting and creamery business done here,
I could scarcely realize that this is my city. We, each one of us,
you and I, must continue our march of progress, to help upbuild
the community in which we live that all may enjoy life the
more.
Know Omaha, its citizens are the best in the world; know
Omaha, its business is the envy of many a larger city. Have
faith, for this city will progress and grow as we ourselves make
it grow and as we help the territory about us to prosper.
