T o d a
Rattling on the Radio.
Lodge and Coolidge.
If ho Is to Rlame?
Califont ias Mistake.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^,
In England, a microphone, art
fully concealed in the trees, sends
the voice of the nightingale broad
cast throughout the country. That
is a beautiful idea. The Penn State
college sends out by radio the rat
tle of a rattlesnake.
The snake, purposely annoyed,
rattled obligingly for 15 minutes
and the hearers shuddered. That
was extremely interesting, for it re
minds you that old nature used
broadcasting methods in the snake’s
rattles, the lion’* roar, thousands of
centuries before any human beings
were on earth.
Senator Lodge proposes to help
President Coolidge set up the world
court and compel the United States
to submit to decisions of foreign
judges in international matters.
In the case of Senator Lodge you
are not surprised. He is not
young. That he should change
from a violent enemy of the
league of nations to an advocate
of the world court, which is the
same thing in a different dress, isn’t
surprising.
But Calvin Coolidge, descendant
of men who thought this country
able to attend to its own affairs and
do its own judging, ought to know
enough to keep this country out of
^eliuropean entanglements.
An apologetic attitude toward
Japan, because we presume to con
trol our own territory, plus willing
ness to let judges chosen by for
eign countries sit in judgment upon
us, is not the old American w'ay.
A young womanv called ‘‘The
Bobbed Hair Bandit," has gone to
jail to stay from 10 to 20 years.
When this woman, now barely out
of her ’teens, was a little girl, she
was sent on the streets, dressed in
carefully assorted rags, to impose
upon the public pity and to beg.
From her babyhood she was taught
that the way to get a living is to
swindle others.
She married an utterly worthless
man, who made her a partner in his
brigandage, taking her along to
hold a revolver—which usually was
not loaded—and frighten her hus
band's victims.
Now that both are sentenced to
jail for the same length of time,
what do you think of that particu
lar sentence? /
What about the people that
brought up this unfortunate wo
man from her infancy, in the
atmosphere of cheating, lying and
deception? Is she or are they re
sponsible for her later career?
And what about giving her the
same term in jail as was given to
the man that made a professional
criminal of her?
The United States apologizes to
Japan, and will postpone for a long
• time consideration of the question
as to the right of Americans to ex
clude Asiatic immigration.
Perhaps that is a result of Cali

| Men Who Are Making Omaha }
During the last f‘x years, under
the administration of 17. M. Marrs,
South High school lias gone steadily
forward, in numbers and morale. This
institution has a local pride that com
mands attention whenever or wher
ever expressed. Principal Marrs ap
preciates the human side of things,
lie is a stickler for reasonable disci
pline, of playing the game according
to the rules, whether In the school
room or on the field of athletics. He
has been seen at a "weiner roast,"
given by the South High faculty, en
joying the frolic, and a few weeks ago
he was one of the entertainers in the
“Forum Follies,'' g i by Omaha
teachers.
Mr. Maria is another of Omaha's
educational builders. He is recog
nized in that class by Superintendent
J. H. Beveridge and by members of
the Board of Education. He came
here on August 1, 191S. from Head.
S. D., where he was principal of the
high school. Since the beginning of
his work at South High the enroll
ment of that school 1ms increased
from 405 to 1,375. Aa principal of
South High he has stood by the
school In efforts to obtain for the
boys and girls all of the advantages
offered in any public higli school. He
is strong for the idea of adapting the
fornia’s vote at the presidential
primaries.
It would have paid the Californ
ians who decidedly favor Japanese
exclusion, to fllace once more, in
Hiram Johnson, the faith that lie
has well deserved.
The vote against Senator John
son, of course, convinces the presi
dent that California isn’t serious
on the subject of exclusion and
practically sympathizes with his at
titude.
Every Californian knows that
isn’t so. Many Californian* will
wish that they had shown more loy
alty to Hiram Johnson, an honor to
his state, and worthy of its support.
Violent, dangerous strikes in the
Ruhr, the fane droppings violently,
talk of bolshevik influences among
the striking miners—such is part of
this mornings’ news from Europe.
If western Europe, France and
Belgium especially, want, to force
a combination between Russia and
Germany, they are going about it
in the right way.
In financial undertakings bolshev
ism has been disappointed. Its fight
against capital hadn’t hecn success
ful. Its effort to “make money
ridiculous,” as Heninp said early in
thp game, watfso highly successful
that Russian money at least wasn't
worth anything.
But bolshevism has developed one
business idea that will make money
—whether it will he good for Rus
sian business in general, is another
question.
Hereafter, under a new Russian
law, only government newspaper?
and other publications will be al
lowed to carry paid advertising
Publications, privately owned, won'l
be allowed to publish any advertis
ing. That may or may not make s
financial success of the governmenl
work of tbc .itiu! io ihe needs of
the community.
South High offers 10 courses of
study, all built around what is known
as llie "sorial core.” A minimum
amount of English, civics and history
is specified ami required, this being
a basis for citizenship. Principal
ATarrs stated that he recognizes the
responsibility of the high school in
promoting good citizenship. After
meeting tills minimum requirement
on citizenship, the student is then
free to choose from the courses of
fered and to deride whether he wishes
to prepare for college entrance, the
latter being entirely optional. The
principal believes that this freedom
given to pupils and parents in the
selection of courses .has contributed
largely to the increasing jiopiilarity
of the school. Forty per cent of the
pupils at this school are foreign-born
or of foreign born parents.
South High is carefully organized
in its social program. Besides the
traditional class organizations, the
pupils have school clubs based on
their earlier associations in the ele
mentary schools.
Principal Marrs received A. B. and
A. M degrers from the Fniverslty of
Nebraska and he had a course in ad
vance work at the teachers’ college
of Columbia university.
publications, but it will surely set
tle the fate of the privately owned
publications.
George M. Reynolds, head of the
biggest bank in Chicago, says a big
boom is coming after election. Is
there any reason why it should not
come now? What becomes of the
“level-head” of business men. so
much talked about, if the fact that
a president is to be elected, impels
them to postpone new enterprises
or otherwise allow business to drag?
This country lias got everything,
from the world's gold to the world’s
credit, from the highest productiv
ity to the greatest possibilities of
undeveloped wealth.
What have we got to worry about,
except our own timidity?

"My Husband’s love'
j v.---*
llmv Leila Guessed ilie Plan Edith
Fairfax Made.
Edith Fairfax turned to me and
there was fierce questioning in her
eyes.
"What is it?” she whispered tense
ly. and l saw that anxiety for Leila
hah erased from her brain foy I he
minute, the recollection of the cir
cumstances under which last we had
in other days seen ear h oter.
Then, contrite and broken because
sl.e had been responsible for Dicky's
absence from home at the time
Grace Draper spirited Junior away,
she had worked indefatigably to trip
the other woman, and had aided
Hugh Grant land materially in id*
successful attempt to find my baby
boy and restore hint to me.
But I knew that licr never flag
ging labor had been actuated ae
much by sympathy for Dicky's grief
as it had been by remorse, keen as
that had appeared, and while I had
been grateful to her. 1 had been
distinctly relieved when she left for
North Carolina shortly afterward,
where ever since she had remained
with Aunt Dora Paige, the nearest
relative the orphaned Fairfax sis
ters possess. •
There were a dozen questions
pounding in tny brain at this unex
pected sight of her. Was her feeling
for Dicky, of which, on one, memor
able occasion she Impassionrdly
and reproachfully—had told me, still
flaming within her? Or had. time
and her own determination killed it?
"Why Didn't You Write?"
Had she listened to the pleadings
of big "Dr. Jim" Paige, the "cousin
fo’ or five times removed"—to use
his own quaint phraseology — who
had loved her from childhood? Ot
was their relation still th* comrade
|y cousinly one upon which she al
ways had insisted?
There was no opportunity, how
ever, for me lo deduce any answers
to my queries front Edith’s looks or
manner. Dicky could not forever
hold IgJlit in bantering conversation
that Katherine apd 1 might have an
opportunity to give Edith a clue to
the emergency confronting her. and
ns Leila moved away from Dicky
toward us I had just time to whisper.
"I'll tell you later," before she was
upon us.
"Why didn't you write you were
coming Edie?" she cried reproach
fully. "I've been eating my heart
out for you."
"[ did,” Edith responded quickly.
"I wrote twice since I got yours tell
ing nte—"
Edith's Surprising Plan.
She broke off short at sight of the
telltale color stealing into her "Is
ter's l bin face, and changing her
sentence with perfect composure:
" -Of Mrs Diftkee's home coming.
I wrote you I would siart within a
week, then wrote again when L
found T could get awav earlier. I
did not wire for fear of frightening
you or Alfred's mothci How Is site,
by the way?"
"Convalescing fast," Leila answer
ed, and then added with a worried
look. "But I'm afraid everything
will b- eet back when she gets well
enough to come downstairs Site
won't he well enough to do house
work, and she'll never stand for the
maid we have"—lowering her voire
to a discreet whisper at tlie: last
words. "And 1 don't blame her.
I.tfK-'s an awful old arouch. She
must have been responsible for tny
pot getting your letters. She prob
ably stuffed them in the etove to
save coming upstairs."
This she said with a vindictive
little snap of her teeth, adding; "I d
loves to get rid of her. but Mother
Duiker never would let me do the
work alone, and there you are ' She
spread her hands in a hopeless in tie
gesture
Edith swung toward Katherine.
"How soon will Mr.- Duiker, lie
- Iile to travel"' he asked.
Katherine considered.
"How long a jouinev and wli.-tl
kind?"
"Heated limousine from here •"
New Tnrk. one day and night on
tiain where she does not need to
leave her stateroom, limousine drive
of four miles at the end."
Katherine was equally swift and
direct in her answer.
"A week from today," she said.
and l knew eh* was considering in
her answer liftin'* nerves as well
as Mrs. Duiker's physical strength.
“Will you stay until she goes? Or,
better still, could you not go with
her?”
"To the first question, ves.” Kath
trine replied. "To the second, she
won't need me.”
' But >■<% look ns if you needed a
change also,' Edith comment'd,
with a shrewd Klanoe at Katherine's
tired face, and then Eeil.i struck in
tremulously.
“Do you mean, Kdie," sh» asked,
“for Mother Durkec to ko down to
Aunt Dora's for awhile?'*
