La Follette's “Millions."
To Rule Our Waves.
Wheat in Polities.
Criminals Sleep Well.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE
---—/
“La Follette’s race will cost $3,
00Q.000,” says the New York
Times. Another New York editor
says La Follette will spend $10,
000,000. Newspapers worry a
great deal about the millions that
Senator La Follette is going to
spend. They print nothing about
expenditures by the other two can
didates. Is it Wicked for an inde
pendent to use money and all right
lor a regular.
In the why of politics it is an
nounced that Mr. Davis will make
a very savage campaign, calling
upon republicans to account for
their misdeeds.
President Coolidge’s attorney
general Stone, who seems to be a
fighting person, brings suit against
the trust that overcharges farmers
for binding twine.
That, following indictment of
the biggest- gasoline companies,
plus the dizzy heights to which
wheat and other grains have been
climbing, constituto a pretty good
“political speech” by Coolidge
even if he should not say anything.
This is the political stage of
“rosy reports.” They pour in on
La Follette, Davis and Coolidge.
Coolidge is told that Ohio, Iowa
and Kansas are already his.
Davis is told' that with the south
and New York, Massachusetts, etc.,
he is elected now.
La Follette’s followers say they
have “25 states sure.” The “rosy”
days are pleasant, only someone is
sure to' be disappointed.
The government has ordered a
group of flying machines that can
travel through the ait, on the water
and on land. Only one step re
mains, the amphibian and submers
ible flying machine pulling in its
wings and becoming a submarine.
That will come algo.
The British intend that Brittan
nia shall rule the air waves as she
used to rule the ocean waves, ill
Britain, flying machine develop
ment is not left to doubtful and
more or less inefficient private
effort. The British will establish
in 1926 a regular flying machine
service between England and India.
Flying boats now building will
carry 200 passengers, 12 tons of
mail and other freight and make
the trip between England and In
dia in 60 hours with one stop in
Egypt. _
Wheat continues to be the great
est politician of them all. Topeka
reports that wheat replaces oil in
Kansas as an exciting source of
wealth. If the boom in grain con
tinues, as there is every reason to
believe it will, carrying prices
higher, political opinions and po
litical betting will change.
One reporter “covering” Chica
go’s murder trial, says of the young
murderers, “they slept as soundly
as honest men in their jail cells
last night.”
There is nothing in the theory
that honest men sleep more sound
ly than others. They don’t. Hon
est men have worries, responsibili
ties, self-reproaches that do not
afflict the criminal who accepts no
responsibility whatever. Insomnia
is not a criminal’s disease.
The scientific world notes the
discovery in France of a new an
aesthetic, called “sommifaire.”
With no bad after effects, this an
aesthetic makes possible the long
est operations. It is injected into
the blood, causes the patient to re
main half conscious for 30 hours,
which is excellent for major oper
ations.
It is hard to believe as you read
of scientific methods for avoiding
pain that when anaesthetics were
first used they were savagely de
nounced as works of the devil.
Earnest preachers declared that
God wanted us to suffer and it was
a sin to thwart His divine will.
Joseph Greenberg of New York
will return to his home with new
knowledge of this country and
greater respect for the size of Tex
as. He left Brooklyn in a little
automobile to bring his son back
home from “somewhere in Texas,"
and told his wife he would be gone
“about three days.” He will be
surprised to find it will take him
about as long to cross Texas as
to cross all the rest of the Ameri
can continent.

Army Officer, While Overseas,
Wrote Wife for Divorce, She Says
Dahlman Support
Wavers: Hopkins
Blames Governor
Rejected Commissioner Says
Nominee ‘Not Acceptable*
-—Others Agree With
Him.
Mayor J. C. Dahlman is not ready
to state whether he wil support John
N. Norton, democratic nominee fot
governor.
"I don’t feel that I am bound by
any party consideration to support
Norton,” the mayor said. "Norton
has been a progressive as well as a
democrat. I am going to support the
best candidate, the man whom I be
lieve will he best for Omaha. I don't
know Norton, but I understand he
has a good record. They say he is
a good man. So Is Adam McMullen.
If I should support Norton It will
not be because the democrats nomi
nated him.”
, "He Is a smart man," was the com
inept ofered by Wallace Wilson, re
ferring to Norton.
Thomas B. Murray said: "I will
support Norton. I wrote to Brother
Charley some trrne ago and expressed
the hope that a real democrat would
me named as nominee. I am glad that
neither Dahlman nor Hopkins was se
lected.
Moriarty Bolts.
John F. Moriarty, assistant city at
torney and prominent In democratic
affairs, stated that John N. Norton
was not a democrat in 1911, and is
not a democrat now.
“I am going to vote for Adam
McMullen," Moriarty said. "Norton
bolted the democratic legislative
caucus in 1911. I don't know Norton.
"I consider Norton a first class
man and an acceptable nominee,'
said I. J. Dunn." He has an outstand
ing character, has been prominent as
a progressive democrat and is familiar
with the needs of the agricultural
interests of Nebraska."
City Commissioner D. B. Butler
considers Norton the strongest of
those who were considered by the
state central committee. He referred
to Norton as a progressive demo
crat and declared his intentions of
supporting the nominee.
"Absolutely Dry.”
Dr. Jennie Callfas, democratic na
tional committeewoman for Nebras
ka, says that Norton Is the best can- |
didate the party could have selected
to win.
"He is absolutely dry.” said Dr.
Callfas, "and he helped in the fight
for women’s suffrage. Also, he is a
democrat!”
John A. Rine, former city attorney,
would not discuss Norton from the
standpoint of party politics.
”1 think Norton will make a strong
run'1 was the limit of his comment
for publication, although he said
more.
"The reason I did not get the demo
cratic nomination for governor was
because of the bitter opposition of
Governor Charles Bryan to any Oma
ha man," declared Commissioner John
Hopkins Friday morning on his re
turn from Lincoln.
"Bryan was for Norton all the way
through, although he allowed the ru
mors that he was for Knudson and
other dummies to be circulated. Nor
ton Is not acceptable to me as a
democrat because he Is not a demo
crat.”

Mrs. Lucile Dent Burt testified in
domestic relations court Friday
against her husband, Maj. Franklin
T. Burt, of the Seventh Corps area of
the army. They were married in
Chicago in 1905 and have five chil
dren.
“He kissed me and the children
goodby and put us on the train in
El Paso, Tex., in 1918 and everything
seemed all right," she said, "While
he was in f ranee he made me an
allotment of Jl"5 a month and when
he returned to this country he in
creased this to J250.
"From Coblentz, Germany, he
wrote me to get a divorce. I wrote
that it was too serious a matter to
do without more conversation. He
then returned from abroad and came
to ‘us at Bos Gutos, Cal. We talked
it over more thoroughly there."
Major Burt himself brought the
suit in the court here, but did not
appear to prosecute it. He alleged
that she refused to supervise their
home, and when he asked her to look
after the cooking told him to "Do it
yourself.”
A settlement of property rights (s
to the effect that he will give her
$250 a month as long ns she remains
unmarried, this to be decreased tp
$50 a month if she remarries. His
salary is $440 a month. He carries
$20,000 in ’insurace.

A little life is flickering in a tar
paper shack on a lonely hill of the
northern suburbs. There a visiting
nurse was called by people who had
chanced to see conditions.
Not a crust was in the house. The
mother sat weeping because she was
too sick to go out to work. And on
a bundle of straw lay little Adella, 4
months old, a mere wisp of humanity,
big eyes staring from what seemed
but the bones of a skull. Too weak
even to cry out.
Quickly the nurse telephoned to one
of the Free Milk and Ice Fund milk
men. A special wagon was sent out
to carry a bottle of milk to that
hovel. Adella is still living and Is
now drinking the milk which ought
to save her.
It takes money to care for Adella,
and dozens of other babies and small
children, and the demand is very
heavy on the fund during this hot
weather.
Only a very small sum is on hand
now, and—please help to keep the
supply of milk for these tiny waifs.
You may save little lives, and great
will be your reward. Checks or cash,
addressed care of The Omaha Bee,
will do the work.
