Today “Vengeance Is Mine.” Bees, Whales and Storks. One Rich City. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Friendly warning to big men in clined to injure business and scare little stockholders, in revenge for the senate oil investigation. Don’t do it. It won’t pay you in the long run, and, besides, it is written, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves. Vengeance is Mine. I will repay, saith the Lord.’’ « Public officials have had a warn ing, learned a lesson. Some will get more than a lesson. Valuable truths have come out, others are coming. On the whole it’s a small thing, which really doesn’t amount to much more than catching little Wil lie .telling a fib. No reason for breaking up the family. Sjlend Wil lie to bed and let business go on. There is always something wrortg. This country has an embargo on bees, from everywhere except Can ada. Europe is short of honey be cause different diseases have at tacked baby bees. There is even worse news about whales than about bees. Whales are not coming up from the south pcle as they used to come, offering oil from blubber whalebone from their mouths, and proof of evolu tion, in the two little hip bones concealed in their fat carcasses— although they no longer use the legs to which those hip bones were once attached. The whalebone doesn’t matter, for ladies now go loose around the waist, as a rule. But the whaling industry is in bad shape and Eng land is sending a ship to find what’s the matter. The storks, big, picturesque birds perching on their nests upon chim ney tops of the peasants and gcity houses, become fewer in Germany each year. Old peasants say storks don’t like the republic, and miss the kaiser. The truth probably is that they don’t find enough to eat. How ever, the German babies keep com ing. All the news is not bad. New York city teaches us that this is a prosperous country, adopting a 1924 budget of $375,900,000. That’s one city spending nearly as much as it took to run the national government in Tom Reed’s most extravagant day. It is more money than the early fathers would have dreamed of. Mr. Mellon, secretary of the Treasury, says the national debt has been reduced $933,000,000 In the last year, and $4,800,000,000 in four and one-half years. Your glorious country now owes $21,781, 966,852. It takes a big, prosperous country to owe as much as that. And while we ought to pay off rap idly, we could owe five times that amount, and more, too, and not be bankrupt. Victor Murdock of Kansas is presented as a third party candidate for the presidency. It isn’t likely that a third party can win this time, unless perhaps with Henry Ford to pull it through. But it would be hard to find a better man than Vic tor Murdock, a radical more sincere, intelligent, insistent, reliable. (Copyright, If 14.) Fight Looms in Iowa G. 0. P.

Approximately half of the county conventions Instructed their delegates to the state convention to support President Coolldge. but few of them took any action on pledging support to a state ticket. This brought a new phase to the convention and may result In a hot contest on the floor. Senator A. B.

For three years John T. Woolsey. S32i) North Thirty-sixth avenue, re ceived $100 a month from the United States veterans’ bureau. Todny the Omaha post of the Amer ican Legion discovered that his com pensation had been cut to $32 a month for no apparent reason and that the ex-soldier was in danger of losing the home on which he is pay ing $20 a month. Upon learning of Woolsey’s pre dicament Si Wheeler, chairman of the legion’s liason committee. Imme diately took steps to Ale an appeal with the veterans' bureau. Trior to the war Woolsey was a cooper. He enlisted and went to Camp Cody, where he suffered an accident which resulted in a serious injury to his head. Injury Neglected. Through neglect his injury was not treated and when he Anally was sent to the hospital for examination it was discovered that he had suffered a partial paralysis that so afffected his rervous system that he is unable to work and damaged his eyesight so that he is unable to read. Woolsey has a wife and two chil dren and is buying his home on monthly payments. His wife was only recently released from the hospital, where she underwent an operation, and he has a hospital and medical bill to pay. Adjudged Disabled. Three years ago Woolsey was ad judged disabled and allowed $100 a month. In addition he spent about half this time In government hos pitals at St. Louie and Waukasha, Wls., but efforts to correct his Illness met with failure. “This is merely another example of how the United States veterans’ bureau reduces compensation without reason,” said SI Wheeler, chairman of the American Legion's liason bureau. "Of course, this man will ultimately be restored to full com pensation because he is plainly dis abled, but it may take six or seven months, and how is a man with a wife and two children to live on $32 a month in the meantime?
