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?
