Today Sausages, Pancakes, Law. Ghost Dreams, and Re ligion. More Happy Lambs. Bolivia's Richest Man. By ARTHUR BRISBANE Judge Gary, biggest man in steel, and John D. Rockefeller, jr., biggest man in oil, ate breakfast and discussed prohibition enforce ment with President Coolidge yes terday morning. They had sau sages, coffee and buckwheat cakes. Discussion is easy, enforcement is difficult. Judge Gary said all of ficials must set the example, by obeying the dry law. They don’t do it, and won’t do it. A congress man’s wife testified about her hus band’s party in Washington, “There was the usual amount of drinking at a congressman’s house.” That's about how it is. President Coolidge permits no alcoholic drink in the White House, drinks no stimulants himself. He represents a minority of one in 10, among officials. Mr. Rockefeller, also a total abstainer, says the pub lic mind must be stirred. It has been stirred, but not toward pro hibition. Bootleggers, bootleg whisky, bootleg crime, highjacking, hold ups, increase in drug use, bribe taking enforcement officials, all the drink they want for rich men, etc., have turned the public mind toward the idea that prohibition does not prohibit. What can be done about the growing conviction that you cannot, by writing a law or a con stitutional amendment, force men to change habits held for ages? Santa Clara is agitated about ghosts that disturb a young boy end girl. Trances, the neighbors call the sleep in which strange vis ions frighten the children and superstitious neighbors. Such visions and dreams, as old as the human race, are said by scientists to be responsible for the beginnings of religion, and belief in another world. The caveman, seeing his dead . father in a strange dream, said on •wakening, “Then hefs not entirely dead after all. I worn ?r where he went?” The witch doctor and magician elaborated the idea, and many fancy pagan theories developed, with asserted ideas of heaven and hell. The way to avoid hell here after, and tormenting by spirits now, was to be generous with the .Ill I-.1 II I I I I I III I I I II I I I P. witch doctor. Fortunately, we have a better religion. Stocks went up again yesterday, interest rate on call money went down. That is a combination as sweet as new spring grass to the little lamb. Money for stock specu lation could be borrowed, all you wanted, for 2 per cent, lowest rate since November. There is lota of money if your credit is good, or you have secur ity. The big telephone company borrows $150,000,000 with the greatest ease. “Please may I have $150,000,000 for improvements, Mr. Morgan?” “Certainly,” is the reply. “Don’t you need more?” Telephone credit is very good. Railroads that owe the govern ment millions say they want a lower interest rate, and will prob ably get it. That is fair, as the government lent at 6 per rent, war rates, and can now borrow for 4 per cent, but the man that put a mortgage on his house at (5 per cent cannot arrange the rate so easily. Senor Patino arrived from Bo livia yesterday. Two secretaries, a doctor, a valet and 50 pieces of luggage followed him down the gang-plank. That means money, and he has it. He's the richest man in Bolivia, owner of the biggest tin mine in the world. Tin is better than gold, if you get the right mine. Senor Patino, on his way to Spain, as Bolivian minister, has at least ? 100,000,000. In spite of all the money* this gentleman wishes to live arid die in' Bolivia, except for little trips. That will puzzle millions here who do not know just where Bolivia is, hut wonder why a man “with the price" does not move into the American cabaret belt. Wise nature makes the normal man think the sky, air and earth of his native land the finest in the world. An ^Eskimo from the Arctic, a Zulu from the tropics, will both die of sorrow if you transplant them, even to Palm Beach, Somebody representing the rail toads will have to do some thinking. and plan something, or very respectable United States railroads are going to suffer, to matter how much the government may do for them. Motor trucks are robbing the railroads of short-haul freight, and the long haul goes more and more by canal wherever it can. Mr. Thom for the railroads says 10. Do railroads intend to meet new conditions, or just die out, like the dinosauer, when his time came, and the rats gnawed his big feet? The motor truck and flying ma chine will be the rats of the rail road dinosauer. Four American women got di vorces in Paris yesterday. It's a nice trip, you can renew your ward robe, including a new wedding dress, while you wait, and it is no trouble. The French are wise. It does not matter to them how many Americans are divorced, and the money might as well be spent in France. Why not borrow an idea from the street cars and simply issue trans fers, good for a week? <f*opyrl*ht. 1126.)
