J Today Too Little Discontent. Wireless Power. Exit Mrs. Willow. Will Labor Stick? By ARTHUR BRISBANE __/ John W. Davis is much disturbed by “social unrest,” and fears that Coolidge’s election might cause a “social revolt.” What effect it would have to elect the leading lawyer of J. P. Morgan & Co., the telephone monopoly and the big gest oil company, Mr. Davis does not say. These are the words of the democratic candidate: '“In all seriousness and earnest ness,/! submit to you that there is in this country a great unrest.” So there is, and so much the bet ter. Looking at the baby in the crib, the doctor is worried if the baby is too quiet. That’s danger ous. So with a nation. Where there is no unrest, no discontent, no struggle for better conditions, no strongly expressed dissatisfaction, there is a lack of the right energy and national feeling. It is all right to die quietly, but men and nations ought not to live too quietly. If a farmer works all bis life with nothing to show for it, he ought to show “unrest.” Unrest, discontent, blaming and demand ► ing, are the foundations of every thing worth while. There was un rest in this country in 1776. There was unrest when the tea went over board in Boston Harbor. Discon tent is the mainspring of progress. There isn’t enough of it. Many years ago this writer sug gested that the flying problem would be solved by transmission of electric power without wires. Power stations at Niagara Falls and other points, would supply the power, and machines flying above, woud “pick it up.” Now Edison, who exhibited his first incandescent electric light just 46 years ago, predicts the age of “power transmission by wire less.” When that comes, you may see gigantic flying machines going around the world year after year, six miles up, where no strong winds blow, rarely landing, carrying small planes to drop passengers at New York, San Francisco, Hono lulu, Manila and so on, all the way around. How fast we travel along the road of science! Forty-five years ago, Edison’s first incandescent lamp shed its feeble light. The other night, fliers, practicing in the dark on Long Island, sailed down to the ground, following the shining ray of a searchlight with more than a million candlepower, slanting at the right angle and safely guiding them to the ground. goon light will be almost as cheap as darkness. Every street and highway in the country will be ft* lighted as thoroughly as the main ' traffic of great cities. Crime will vanish under light, as disease germs wilt under sunlight. And there will be no “lost hours.” Machines will be grinding out their wealth 24 hours a day. with men in three shifts of eight hours (or better, four shifts 'of six hours), superintending the produc tion. Mrs. Willow, widow, aged 39 appeared before a jury accused ol ordering her young admirer, Shadel, aged 18, to kill her hus band. The jury finds her guilty of mur der in the second degree. Br Mrs. Willow could not possibly 1 < guilty of murder in the second de gree. If she planned the murde ■, ; and ordered Shadel to carry it out that was premeditated murder, and therefore murder in the first de gree. If she didn’t plan the mur der she was not guilty at all. Per haps the jury acted on the theory that something ought to be done about the fact that the lady's morals left something to be desired. Or it might have been chivalrous reluctance to hang a lady, i “Criticism is easy, art ie diffi cult.” MacDonald, labor prime minis ter of the British Empire, discovers in his turn the truth of the old saying. It is easy to put a new “Utopia” with happiness and plen ty for everybody on paper, or in a speech. But doing one thing when power comes is different. Lloyd George attacks MacDon ^■'ald, saying the labor party prom ised to find jobs for everybody, and goes out of office with unemploy ment greater than when lobor en tered office. Lloyd George attacks MacDon ald labor also for lending money to Bolshevik Russia. But Lloyd George, only the other day promis ing the British that he “would hang the kaiser," now favors lend ing hundreds of millions to Ger many. England wants to do busi ness with Russia. Why attack Mc Donald for trying to make it pos sible? The British elections will an swer an old question, do working men ever stick together long? In this country politicians answer, no. England very likely, will answej otherwise. P !

Coun cil Bluffs, at Sixteenth and Cass streets. Recommendation was made that Hall be released from custody. Ran Into Auto Path. Testimony of seven witnesses to the accident was almost Identical as to how the Schomerus boy ran out into the street in the path of the automo bile when chased by a playmate. Edward O. Lockmiller. 18124 North Seventeenth street, first witness called by County Coroner Paul Steinwender and questioned by Assistant County Attorney Pan Gross, declared that Hall was not driving at a high rate of speed and that the'boy ran Into the path of the car. •’I was crossing the southwest cor ner at Sixteenth and Cass streets,” said Lockmtller, "and I saw a number of children playing on the north side of Cass on the curb. "A Ford roadster had turned from Sixteenth etreet west into Cass street and was driving at a rate of about 10 miles an hour when suddenly Edward, the little boy, rushed out into the street, another boy after him. Knocked to Pavement. He wasn't looking where he was going. The automobile hit him knock ing him to the pavement although the driver had swerved to the left to avoid the boy and had jammed on the brakes. When the car had stopped a foot or two after It had struck the boy, he was found next to the rear wneel. "The driver Immediately Jumped out of the car and picked up the boy. He called to another man on the street to accompany him to the po lice station. They placed the boy In the car and drove off. Hall did every thing in his power to avoid hitting the boy." Henry Wertz, 2610 Cass street, who was called by Hall, told the same story of the carelessness of the boy and the efforts of the driver to avoid striking him.

Screamed and Ran Home. “X screamed and called to me brother, then ran home," said Or ville. Walter Edwards, another playmate who lives at the same address as the Schomerus boy, told that the reason Edward rushed out Into the street was because a playmate, Bob Snyder, had wanted to put chalk upon his back.

Increase ov Dad Said to Mother: Dad: “ Mother, a life insurance man called on me today. He made me think we must be sure of Bobbie’s and Dot’s complete education. That old policy I have had since I was 21 is inadequate.” Mother: “Well, what are you going to do about it?” Dad: “I think that an additional $5,000 policy is neces sary.” Mother: “I think so, too. What company did the agent represent?” Dad: “It was a good Omaha company. My friend the agent was right in saying that men and women of Omaha would all profit directly and indirectly by buying their insurance protection of Omaha com panies. These companies are safe because of their large assets. Large deposits of their securities are kept by the state and moreover, the companies are * well regulated by the laws of Nebraska and other states.” Mother: “You know beet.” Dad: “Before my friend called today I did not realize that Omaha companies had invested millions in our city, county and school district securities, the money being used for the material improvement of this city.” “I have concluded that we as citizens of Omaha, where we have our home and business, should feel a sense of pride in the growth of our city and do our part in promoting that growth. Without preju dice to any outside company I think it is our duty, to buy protection of our splendid Omaha life com panies. They are a very great factor in Omaha's present and future prosperity.’’ Mother: “I am agreeably surprised to hear these fa<>ts.” Dad: “Our companies employ nearly 5,000 people and buy large quantities of supplies, their total city disbursements running up into many millions an nually. I feel that we must patronize them out of a sense of loyalty to the old home town.” v Equity Lite Insurance Co. National Security Fire Insurance Prairie Life Insurance Co. Company.
