Today A New Whitney Mount. What the People Think. Ostracizing Indepen dence. Wheat at $2.20. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. V--—-_/ Harry Payne Whitney, an en ergetic young man, who led the American polo players to victory against England, carries new hon ors. He leads the country in suc cessful breeding of race horses. His colts and fillies earned more money than the horses of any other breeder. That's a great honor, and it is applauded as it deserves. There is somthing else Mr. Whitney might do. He might duplicate the total number of fighting airplanes owned by this country. And he might provide “jockeys,” that is to say, first-class pilots and mechanics, for those airplanes. The government has only 20 ma chines fit to take the air in battle. Mr. Whitney, and each one of a dozen men in his financial class, could easily duplicate that without feeling it. And in the long run swift pur suit planes, ruling the air. might be more profitable to Mr. Whitney by protecting his property than-all the race horses that were ever raised in the United States. Once, when they elected Harding, and again, when they elected Cool idge, the people of this country voted, by a plurality of 7,000,000 votes, to keep away from European entanglements, away from the l.eague of Nations and away from European "ties” that would tie up the United States in Europe’s tenta cles. The president can easily find out how the people feel. It was all told in the voting twice in succession. Twelve radical republicans will be excluded from every republican party caucus. The announcement of this decision was greeted with cheers from the floor of the house of representatives and from the crowded galleries. If the republican party can stand it, the so-called "radical repub licans" probably can. A political party, no matter how big, rich, fat, successful and con ceited, makes a mistake when it forbids members to do their own thinking. They don’t make that mistake in England, where they have had their unpleasant experi ences and have learned what things Can happen. On Wednesday Bpot wheat in Chicago, real wheat that you could actually take to grind up into flour, cost $2.20 a bushel. You nre told that bread is going TilHjecause wheat is going up. Dear er wheat, of course, means dearer bread. Rut the bakers should tell low many ounces of wheat there — are in one loaf, and what the actual increased-cost of wheat in a loaf of oread amounts to. It doesn't amount to much, even with $2 wheat. Andrew Carnegie gave away many libraries with no books in them. He was a humorous little .Scotchman, ami supplying plates with no food may have seemed to him rather amusing. When he died he left a magnifi cent concert hail, named after him, ifi New York City. Now it is to he sold and torn down. It enabled millions of people to hear good music, and was more useful than any of the empty Carnegie libraries. If he were here it wouldn’t he sold, probably. , Mr. Ottinger, the attorney gen eral in New York state, refuses an automobile paid for by the public, and saves $370 a month to the state. There is no reason why thi pub lic should provide an automobile for any official, unless his work actually makes an automobile necessary. When the ordinary worker is compelled to deliver himself at his work, and do his traveling by street cars, there is no reason why public officials shouldn’t do the same. This, of course, does not include men of the fire, police, park and other departments, to whom a pub lic automobile really means the saving of expensive time. Mrs. Perry P. Bussell, dying, left $3 a week income for her dog, Ted. And she Ncut off her adopted son, c.» who now contests the will. He says his foster mother suffered with de lusions when she left $5 a week to the dog. It may be. There are unfortunately, however, many par ents whose practical knowledge of gratitude come from a dog, rather than from thpir own children. A few whisky concerns in Eng land—Buchanan, Dewar. Johnny Walker, and some others- are forming a $100,000,000 combina tion. The stockholders in these concerns bless the two words, “American prohibition.” (i upyright, 11»25 ) City Elevation Set.

Biifrinl l>i»i»ntrh to The Omaha Ure. Cedar Rapids, la., Keb. 3.—Tlie jurisdiction of the Sac and Fox In dians may be changed from the United States to the state of Iowa, if tlie state wishes to again assume control of the reservation at Tama, according to Dr. Samuel Blair, In spector of the Indian office at Wash ington. He has been on tlie reserva tion for the last week Investigating the trouble which arose when Amos Morgan blinded Albert Moore, rival for his wife's affections. Dr. Blair said some of the Indians have suggested the change, believing they would be better off if they were under control of tlie state. In the opinion of Dr. Blair the recent trouble on the reservation and the friction existing between members of the tribe is due to' the peculiar foryi of tribal government. The government la an Inheritance and is purely an autocracy. The tri bal council perpetuates itself and when a vacancy occurs It is filled by the vote of the council, not by mem bers of the trihe. While the council is autocratic the land holdings are purely socialistic, the 370 Indians holding 3,300 acres of land. Dr. Blair says the tribal troubles have been aggravated by outside persons, whom lie characterized as “Would he upllft ers,'* persons who are trying to ex ploit all tlie Indians as a fad for per sonal or financial gain. The factional differences on the reservation are due to the annual "pow wows” which have been held since 1015. There are two organiza tions operating these “pow wows” and they have nothing In common, Dr. Blair said. Tlie Indians were un der tlie jurisdiction of Iowa from 1857 to 1806, when the state legisla ture, by special act, .petitioned tlie efderal government to* take over the tribe. — RADIO N—--- j Program for February 2.

The Nurse l sc* a Huso I poll Madge With Telling Effect. While X am a healthy and fairly strong young woman, yet I am no paragon of physical prowess, and my husband's mother Is no light burden. Falling Insensible against me after our return from the woodland, I man aged to get her to the kitchen door without help. 1 have often wondered how I did it even though the distance traversed was a short one. But ac complish the feat 1 did, and sum moned help by kicking the door. I heard Katie's v ce In high pitched vituperation as she realized that It was a kick i -lead of a knock upon her carefully scrubbed white door. ‘‘Qvit dot you bum, whnefer you are,” she called raucously. "You tlnk I haf nodings else to do mitout scrubbing doors after your muddy— Oh h .Missis Graham, tot happened Ees old voman dead? I told you old vcmans go dead. Don’t you know 1 told you-" "Hush!" T commanded, all the more sternly, because 1 was not at all sure that my ignorant, superstitious little maid was not right in her surmise. "Help me carry her to the couch in the library, and keep quiet. We must not make any noise that young Mrs. Durkee can hear.” ”1 no apeak," she whimpered, and with head averted, she grasped Mather Graham’s feel, shivering as she did so, and walked with me to the library couch. She could have given me no plainer proof that she believed life to have fled from onr burden. I was relieved, indeed, to see Kdlth Fairfax passing through tlie hall. I had meant to summon the nurse in attendance upon Leila and the baby as soon as I had put my mother-in-law's limp figure down. And here was the ideal messenger ready to my hand, one who would not alarm Leila, as Katie surely would have done. Edith (alls the Nurse. Edith took one swift glance at us, spoke softly over her shoulder. ‘'I'll get the nurse at once,” she said, wasting no time In questions. T spoke peremptorily to Katie when we had laid Mother Graham flat upon the couch. “Have you boiling water In the teakettle?” “Oh, yes, Missis Graham, but ahe no can swallow und you burn—” "Will you be quiet?” I said sternly. ' Bring me a cup of the boiling water, an empty bowl, and a pitcher of cold water at once.” "Ohi sure, T fees,” she promised tearfully. Even before Leila's nurse appeared, she was back with the things for which I had asked. 1 covered (he boiling water against some possible need of the nurse—and sprinkled the cold water into the ashen face of my mother-in-law. The time honored remedy was of no avail, and 1 think my palor rivaled that of the unconscious woman when the nurse, calm, efficient, and apparently unhurried, stalked into the room. Mending over my mother-in-law, with hand over her heart and ear close to her mouth she waited only an instant before turning to me. "I shall have to give her an hypo dermic,” she said crisply. "I do not dare wait for a physician. Have I your permission?” "I Am All Right!” There was a touch of formality In her manner which made me realize how closely she observed the punc tilios of her profession. She had been in attendance upon Mother Graham, with full authority for hy podermics only a few days before, hut because she had been tansferred In l.eila, she wished to he sure of my sanction before administering one. I noticed, however, that she had not finished her sentence before she be gan preparing her needle, and my heart warmed to her resourceful competence as J ana were-—, "Of course. Do whatever^ you think best.” A nod was my only answer. Then, her preparations completed, she bent above the inert figure on the couch. It was but a few seconds afterward, that with fingers on pulse and eyes watching the faintly returning respir ation, she spoke softly. ■'.Slip's going to he all right, I think,." My knees buckled under me, and 1 caught at a rhair back, to keep my self from falling. The nurse looked up at me with a »mlle, which had in It something stisplclouly like a sneer. The gllbe was as potent as any drug could have been. Instinctively, I loosened my hold upon the chair and squared my shoulders. "Indeed, no,” T retorted a hit tartly. "I am perfectly all right." "Glad to hear It, the nurse re turned nonchalantly. "You don't look like the variety of woman who crumples up, uselessly, when there's a crisis, but. you never can tell.” I knew, of course, that the nurse's strictures were as impersonal as her hypodermics. My her stabbing speech, she simply was Insuring me against a collapse; but woman like, It took all the grace T had to keep resent ment from my face and voice aa I murmured meekly,-■ ".lust tell me what you wish mo to do. I shall not fail you.” r— — • *ULGR CUT-GUTS SLEEPING BEAUTY v_._J THE SPELL HOLDS. Last week we read about the love ly princess who pricked her finger with a spindle and fell asleep for a hundred years, because of the spell a wicked fairy had cast over her. Her father and mother were away from the palace at the time she fell asleep and didn't know what had happened. When they came home no daughter ran to meet them. They were wor ried, and at once sent the whole court to look for her. Finally she was found, where she had fallen, In a little room In a forgotten part of the tower, with a forbidden spinning wheel close by. The old fairy who had caused the trouble had disap penred. The king, forgetting about the spell which had been cast over her when she was a baby, seqt for the court doctor, thinking the princess was 111. Rut t»efor* the debtor got there<< In flew the good fairy who had helped to watch over the princess. She had lovely yellow hair and a yellow dress. Tier wings were snow white. Color her snd rut her out and wait to see what she will do tomorrow. 1 These special range from a cut of pie to a regular dinner, and often are the largest food values In the city. it hns always been Mr. Welch's custom to give to his patrons the largest values in good wholesome food at the least cost.
