The “Stitchers* Money.**
^ Hearing of Atom.
Mrs. Harding Dead.
The Voodoo Man.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE.
\_I__ J
Warren S. Stone, president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers says “30 or 40 big foreign
loans will be made in the next year
and a half. This will go on until
they have drained all the gold from
the country and got most of the
suckers’ money. Then we will have
another period of depression.”
The big loans are coming, but
they won’t take “most of the suck
ers’ money” without the c.onsent of
those “suckers.” Before you make
up your mind to buy foreign bonds,
ask the big bankers how many of
those foreign bonds they have
bought for themselves.
They handle the oonds, take the
rakeoff, pass them on to you. Ask
the banker that offers them to you
if he will guarantee them at their
face value or at three-quarters of
_ their face value. He will say no.
' Atoms of iron, so small that you
wouldn’t notice 10,000 of them in
the corner of your eye, make a
roaring noise as they rush to a mag
net held near them. *
Scientists of the General Electric
company now have perfected a de
vice that makes the roaring sound
audible. If thnt’s possible, may
we not some day hear voices of our
distant relatives on neighboring
planets? It isn’t impossible. Noth
ing is impossible that men can
imagine.
1 Mrs. Harding died yesterday, 15
months after the death of President
Harding. Mrs. Harding worked for
her husband, lived for him, and had
a great share in building up his
success. Life did not interest her
after he died.
The post office has stopped the
trade of Prince Hough, a colored
man who ran a prosperous mail or
der business. He offered, quoting
his letter, “To cure you and make
you lucky, and never go broke,
and get all the work you can do,
borrow all the money you want,
pun any business you want.”
All that cost only $21,
It was all right to stop the pro
ceedings of Prince Hough, the voo
doo expert. Yet the mere promise,
even without fulfillment, seems
Vmrth $21.
How many followers of heathen
religions, Hindu, Mohammedan,
V Thibetan, Buddhist, Shintoist, pay
several times $21 every year for
promises worth no more than those
of the Prince Hough?
Prof. Littan, who teaches history
at Johns Hopkins, says it Is an in
sult to Japan for our navy to or
ganize big maneuvers to Hawaiian
waters.
That’s a new step in American
timidity, in dealing with our
friends' in Asia. This country, just
now at least, owns Hawaii. The
Hawaiian waters are American
g«»-* waters. And the United States
ought to have a reasonable interest
in the Pacific ocean, which is
pretty big.
Our friends in Europe, John T’.ull
and others, and our good little
brown friend in Japan, must have
laughed yesterday to see Uncle Sam
firing shells at the battleship Wash
ington, endeavoring, vainly, to sink
the great battleship by fire from
the guns of the Texas.
You will read this morning in
the news columns what luck the
flying men had in sinking the big
boat. The experiment of dropping
bombs from flying machines will at
least have some value. The big
1^ guns on the battleships are out-of
7 date toys and it is a disgrace to
‘waste the people’s money practic
ing with them.
It is also something of a disgrace
to fire from American guns at a
battleship named “Washington.”
This country ought to leave it to
others to fire shells on that name.
The authorities also ought to find
gome cheaper target than an unfin
ished battleship on which $35,000,
000 of tho people's money has been
•pent.
It would have been more polite
to George Washington, and more
pleasing to the taxpayers, if the
government, since it must oblige
Europe by destroying its finest ship,
had saved the metal in it for
"junk.”
Since the big boom started on
election day more than 30,000,000
shares of stock have been sold on
New York’s stock exchange. Yes
terday was another “more than
2,000,000-share day.” Some of the
operators decided to take their
profits. Generally speaking, that’s
wise. One of the most successful
of the Rothschilds said: “I got
rich by always selling too soon.”
But beware how you sell such a
crazy “market’.’ short. When the
. people are buying more than 2,
000,000 shares of stock every day,
you can’t tell what will happen.
* It turns out, according to Kras
F sin, just appointed bolshevik ambas
sador to France, that England lent
$88,000,000 to Russia. Our best
minus will deplore this subsidizing
of bolshevism, and building up a
government that almost at any mo
ment threatens to haul down the
Stars and Stripes and run up the
red flag on the capitol at Wash
ington. _
The British are not ns easily
frightened as some American white
rabbit statesmen. And, by the
v.. »hny will get back their $88,
000,000. Don’t worry about Great
Bruain.' She has statesmen work
ing for her.

Greater Care in
Foreign Dealings
Richness and Influence of
U. S. Has Increased Neces
sity for Skillful Diplo
macy, He Says.
The United States is by far the
richest and most influential country
in the world, and for this reason the
people in America should be more
careful in their foreign dealings, ac
cording to Maj. Gen. George Ft. Dun
can, who spoke Sunday afternoon to
members of the Philosophical society
at the Patterson block on “Interna
tional Diplomacy.”
"In 1914 the United States -was re
garded as a second rate power by
Europe. During this year the great
powers, induing England, Japan,
France and Russia, looked upon
America as a go-between among the
superior countries of the world.”
Today the United States excels all
the other countries in commercial
dealings. The United States ranks
second only to Great Britain in mer
chant marine. In years to come it
may be possible that America will be
more advanced on the seas than Eng
land.
“Fully two-thirds of Great Britain’s
population is in India. Canada and
Australia also tend to strengthen
the British power. China, though
more densely populated than any
other country in the world, is at a
loss, due to its inefficient leadership.

WIN BITTERLY
CONTESTED SUIT
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Aurora, Neb., Nov. 23.—The jury in
the case of Alex A. Campbell and
Mel F. Campbell, guardians of Sam
uel Campbell, against Daniel T. Gal
lentine, after being out all night, re
turned a verdict Friday in favor of
the plaintiffs for $5,684.97. The case
was bitterly contested and once be
fore resulted in a mistrial because of
disagreement of the jury. F. E. Ed
gerton tried the case for the plain
tiffs, while the defendant was repre
sented by J. H. Grosvenor of Aurora
and J. L. Cleary of Grand Island.
The action arose as a suit for dam
ages for breach of warranty In a
deed given by Oallentine to Camp
bell in 1902. The title failed because
of the Baker decedent act, which was
declared unconstitutional by the su
preme court, thereby Invalidating all
titles secured under that act. Owners
of the paramount title came In and
sued Campbell and secured a decree
holding that they owned the fee title.
Campbell's family then bought out
the people who then owned the para
mount title.
After Oallentine sold the land to
Campbell, he moved to Kansas and
lived there until 1920. As soon as he
moved back into Nebraska he was
sued hv the guardians of Samuel
Campbell, claiming that the statute
of limitations had not run because
of the insanity of their father, Sam
uel Campbell. By their verdict, the
jury held that Campbell was Insane
from March 12, 1910, the date when
the Campbells purchased the out
standing paramount title.

common sight In some parts of the
country to see the women washing
