••
Columbus day being over, young
gentlemen, you will notice that Co
lumbus tried what others believed
to be impossible. That’s his glory.
All of his success followed that.
When they praised Napoleon for
crossing the Alps in winter, he said,
“That’s nothing. I deserve credit
only ifor not believing the fools
who said it couldn't be done.” To
be somebody, do something new.
Henry Ford teils “Collier’s”
that he withdraws his bid for Mus
cle Shoals. He has waited three
years for the government to ac
cept his proposition, and thinks that
is long enough.
Ford, who has purchased vast
coal lands in Kentucky and else
where, will turn the coal into elec
tric power, taking out of it, as the
German scientists do, its valuable
by-products in the process of com
bustion.
Ford gives to a hesitating, fool
ish government the snub that it de
serves. Had his offer been ac
cepted, as it should have been, he
would have made good his promise
“to produce enough nitrates to give
^ this country absolute predominance
in explosive power, making war im
probable, and in peace providing
farmers with all the nitrates for
fertilizers that the country could
use at very low prices.”
Or, had he not succeeded, he
would have spent hundreds of mil
lions in the attempt. He should
have had the opportunity.
People are not interested in this
campaign. New York’s registration
increases 120,267 over 1920. But
that doesn’t begin to represent the
increase in population.
P.ightly or wrongly, republicans
and democrats believe that Cool
idge is absolutely sure to carry
New York state. Many of the best
informed also believe that A1 Smith,
a democrat, will be elected gov
ernor.
In the meanwhile, nobody is
making a campaign.
No intelligent advertising is
done. The right kind of political
advertising, such as G. W. Perkins
made some years ago, against the
Elihu Root New York state consti
tution, could change hundreds of
thousand of votes. The politicians
haven’t money to pay for advertis
ing, and wouldn’t know how to
write the advertisements if they
had the money.
Woman, in her hours of ease,
continues to be coy and uncertain.
In Paris she is having her shoul
ders rouged. In London artists
paint artificial freckles on women’s
faces, necks and arms.
There is meaning in all this pet
m ty puzzling feminine nonsense.
* Olympias, mother of Alexander,
doing wild dances with snakes
wrapped around her, no other cloth
ing, and your p-eat-grandmother
with he* hoop skirt trailing on the
ground, and smelling salts, both
represent progress in some mys
terious way.
Woman is a being more compli
cated than man. Her evolution is
longer, more intricate.
Dean Inge of St. Paul’s thinks
the world may be saved, morally,
by some powerful writer of plays.
Not preachers or writers, but “a
great dramatist may help us to find
our souls,” says the great and rev
erend British student.
Among the Greeks of 2,000 years
ago, the play was really the thing.
Euripides and Aristophanes, prob
ably influenced Greek thought more
than Socrates, Plato and Aristotle
combined.
But where does Doan Inge see
any great power in the modern
stage? The morality plays in the
middle ages had some of it, but
what plav since then could com
pare in influence with the writings
of Bunyan, or Voltaire, the ser
mons of great preachers, like
Beecher, the lectures and writings
of Ingersoll and Thomas Paine,
Billy Sunday, Moody and Sankcy.
The stage, which talks to the
mind through the ear and eye
simultaneously, ought to have the
greatest power, but it hasn’t.
Anatole France dies, calling for
his mother. The great French
writer had lived 80 years, achieved
fame, a great name. All that seem
ed small in the last minute of the
80 years. The memory of his
mother stood out above all the
rest.
At the beginning, and at the end,
the mother comes first. In between,
others have their turn.
The big Zeppelin ZR-3 started
for America to the tune of
“Deutschland Uber Alles.” If that
big, unwieldy gas bag can leave
Germany on Monday morning and
land in Lakehurst, 4,000 miles
away, on the following Wednesday
morning, how long do you think it
will take high-powered-and-heavier
than-air machines to cross the Pa
cific or the Atlantic with TNT and
poison gas a few years from now?
It is said the administration will
ask congress to spend ten millions
extra this year on flying machines
...
and that the appropriation wlil be
opposed in the house of representa
tives.
The appropriation ought to be
big enough to give this country the
most powerful flying fleet in the
world. Write that to your con
gressman. In the last war, when
we were scared to death and tried
to get flying machines in a hurry
we spent $600,000,000, but did not
get machines that could fly. It
would be a good idea to manufac
ture machines here at our leisure,
meanwhile buying them abroad.
We shall need them more than ever
in the next war. Enough flying ma
chines and submarines owned by
the United States might postpone
that war indefinitely.
In Madison Square Garden, two
able lawyers, Hillquit and Unter
myer, debated La Follette’s sug
gestion that congress, under cer
tain conditions, should have power
to pass legislation over an adverse
decision of the supreme court.
We are a cosmopolitan race. Ten
thousand gathered to hear a discus
sion of the constitution, and the
two discussing it were both of Jew
ish blood, one from Russia, the
other of German descent; one a so
cialist, the other a capitalist.

Children Battle
on Cumings Will
Long-Lost Son of Former
Councilman Reappears to
Claim Share in Estate.
Two brothers and a sister, children
of the late Merrick Cumings, city
councilman of Omaha many years
ago, are battling in county court over
the will, which left the entire 318,000
estate to the daughter, Mrs. Cora
May Huntington, wife of Charles S.
Huntington.
The brothers- are Charles and Wil
liam Cumings, hardware merchants,
of Chicago.
The elder Cumings, after he left
Omaha, became editor and publisher
of the Auctioneers’ Qazette In Chi
cago. He returned here following
the death of his wife a few years ago
and lived with his daughter.
"He always mourned my brother.
Willie, as dead,” testified Charles
Cumings before County Judge Craw
ford Tuesday. "But he said he was
going to divide his property equally
among us children and asked me to
take care of Willie if he ever turned
up."
William “turned up" in county
court and told how he learned of his
father's death.
"I was born In Columbus, Neb.,
and we came to Omaha soon after,"
he said. "When my sister married
in about 1983 I went out with a circus
and traveled all over the United States
.-I
and in other countries.'’
William has remains a circus man,
answering the call of the "big top"
every year, lie last saw his father
in 1911. He admitted that they had
not always been friendly'.
The brothers say title to a piece of
O-iaha real estate worth $18,000 was
transferred from their father's name
to their sister's just three weeks be
fore his death.
Rally for Sutton.
One hundred men, friends of A. L.
Sutton, candidate for district Judge
have announced their intentions to at
tend a big "pep" meeting Thursday
night at 628 Peters Trust building.
NEWBRANCH GIRL
TO TRY OUT STAGE
Miss Evelyn Newbranch. daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey New branch,
departed for Kansas City, where she
will try out on Orpheum time vaude
ville in a song act which is being
sponsored by Gus Edwards.
Miss New branch sang for Mr. Ed
wards when he was at the Orpheum
theater here a week ago. At that
time Edwards declared her singing
of character songs was superior to
that of many well known artists. As
a result he has assured her that if
she enjoys the work and cares to
continue she can obtain a year's con
tract and an option on a second year.
Miss N’ewbranch has taken the
stage name "Jane Vyrne.”

DO autumn mornings find you lame,
stiff and achy—just miserable with
a bad back—tortured by knife-like
pains at almost every step? Are you ,
weak, nervous and dispirited; hardly able
to keep going? Then look to your kidneys!
The kidneys, you know, are constantly fil
tering poisons from the blood. But once your kidneys slow up in removing impurities,
body poisons accumulate and upset the whole system. Then you suffer backache, sudden
stabs of pain, headaches, dizziness and annoying bladder irregularities, lout eel tired
out. irritable and old beyond your years. Don’t wait! Delay may prove series. Use .Doan s
Pills. Doan’s have helped thousands. They should help you. Ask your neighbor.

MRS. J. H. RICE, 3916 N. 23d St.,
says: “My back ached and there was
a soreness through the small of it. The
least task about the house was a big
one for me for it seemed my back gave s
out easily. I was always tired and
languid and was troubled a good deal J
with headaches. I felt run down and
my feet and ankles swelled. After
using one box of Doan’s Pills from
Sherman & McConnell’s Drug Store, 1
was rid of the attack.”
W. B. ROWE, 4018 N. 26th St., says:
"My kidneys acted too freely, espe
cially at night when I had to get up
to pass the secretions, which wore
scanty. There was a constant, dull
ache through the small of my back and
sharp catches took me across my kid
neys. When I stooped, these pains
just seemed to dig in deeper and it
was difficult for mo to got up or down.
Doan’s Fills, however, relieved me of
these symptoms."
MRS. S. ELWELL, 2022 Grnce St.,
says: “1 always hail a dull, tired fool
ing when I had an attack of kidney
trouble. My back was so lame and
weak that it seemed to give out easily
with the least exertion. When 1
stooped, sharp cntches seized me
across my kidneys and it was difficult
to strnlghten, because the pains dug in
deeper. Headaches and dizzy spells

several boxes of Doan’s I’ills from the
