“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.

republican state convention go on rec
ord a* favoring his renomlnatipn to
day and threatened to oppose any
effort for an instructed delegation to
the national convention for President
Coolldge should their demands be ig

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. Cummins was virtu
ally agreed upon by both tho ‘‘regu

to tie chairman of the Iowa
delegation to the national convention.
He is one of the four delegates at

Victim of War
May Lose Home
Compensation of Disabled
Service Man Cut With
out Reason.
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? It means
