A Genuine Miracle.
He Head Darwin—
Our Comic Armada.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE.
v------j
Stanislaus Zbyszko, Polish wres
tler, wins a match against “Rig”
Wayne Munn in two straight falls.
And Zbyszko is 56 years old.
His power helps you to under
stand how “the old man" in the
cave days could drive the young
men away from the valley and over
1he mountains to seek their for
tunes and their wives, keeping the
young women for himself and thus
preventing too much inbreeding. If
men today led a sane life, they
would he stronger at 60 than at
any earlier age, physically as well
as mentally.
Whiitaver you think of old-fash
ioned miracles, you can't dispute
the miracles of science. A doctor
consulted by a patient a thousand
miles away, ordered an X-ray of
the patient's hand. In seven min
utes the X-ray photograph of the
hand, showing the bones, cartilages,
etc., was sent over the telephone
wire from the patient in New York
to the doctor in Chicago.
Suppose anybody had predicted
that 50 years ago. And 200 years
ago, if the thing had been done,
everybody concerned would have
been locked up, accused of witch
craft.
Russell Scott, a very young man,
would have been executed in Chi
Thursday except for a post
ponement. While waiting to be ex
ecuted Sc.ott was working at a
cross-word puzzle and working the
dials of a radio machine, smoking
cigarets to soothe himself.
A stock and bond salesman, be
fore he took to robbery and murder
as a short cut to weath—this man
puzzles reporters. He refuses re
ligious consolation, telling Sisters
of Charity that call upon him, “You
know, sisters, I am afraid I have
read too much. If I have any re
ligion, it is that of Darwinism.”
A Mohammedan would urge this
young man to turn to Allah, as his
glorious prophet. A primitive Pata
gonian would advise him to make
his peace with Setebas. And a
man front Thibet would tell him to
rely on the Dalai Llama and a
good "prayer mill.”
Many good men will say. “Ah,
Darwinism, there you have the se
cret of the young man’s downfall.”
Darwin, however, never commit
ted robbery or murder and didn’t
recommend either. The trouble
with this young man is not too
much reading or knowing too much,
but too little reading and knowing
too little.
Our great fleet of battleships,
cruisers, etc., are carrying on
“mimic warfare” in the Pacific
ocean. The theory is that every
body is trying to take the Hawaiian
Islands from us and we are trying
to prevent it.
Theoretically our great battle
ships that cost $50,000,000 or $60,
000,000 apiece, and become almost
immediately obsolete, are winning
wonderful victories •over the
imaginary enemy.
If we really had a war in the
Pacific, some well-equipped Asiatic
power saying, “You won't let us
have a slice of California, so we
take Hawaii,” what would really
happen?
The imaginary Asiatic power,
possessing common sense and mod
ern flying machines, both of which
our army and navy - lack, would
send over flying machines, sink our
glorious $50,000,000 battleships,
cruisers and other floating .iunk.
Then, under protecting “barrage”
from the sky, they would send
troops and more fliers and planes in
big freight ships and ask, “What
are you going to do about it?"
The Chicago Public Library seeks
to discourage the reading of trash,
and that is useful, if you define
correctly the word “trash.” Young
minds, like young stomachs, need
food easily absorbed. You don't
feed tough beefsteak to a six-month
old baby or give “hard books” to a
12-year-old child.
Many parents, underestimating
the intelligence of children and oth
ers, don’t realize that what a child
reads and hears between 7 and 15
years of age, does more than all
else, except heredity, to decide the
child’s future success and value.
r -
A boy or girl of 10 will take more
interest in old English ballads, tell
ing about Robin Hood or the battle
of Chevy Chase, than in some trash
-“story.” A 10-year-old girl will
read the story of Oliver Twist.
Ivanhoe. or the gopd old-fashioned
“Little Women.” And such books
will make her a better woman and
a better mother.
Literary trash is the curse of the
young mind today, as food trash is
the curse of the stomach.
Doctors announce that prohibi
tion is causing insanity.
“Wild bootleg drinking parties
are given. They tear down the
mental fiber and directly eause in
sanity.1’
Prohibitionsits presumably will
reply, “Don’t blame prohibition.
Anybody that would drink bootleg
whisky must be crazy to begin
with.”

Prosperity Here

(Bj n "Muff Correspondent.)
Gothenburg. Neb.. April 17.—The
briskness of prosperous times is in!
evidence among the business men and
farmers of Gothenburg and the sur
rounding country. Business is good,
and the outlook for the future Is
bright.
The air of prosperity was readily j
noticeable Tuesday, when a convoca
tion of Scottish Hite Masons was held
here. The delegates came from Has
tings, North Platte, Cambridge, Ar
nold, Cossad, Iexlngton and Omaha,
and they found Gothenburg full of
animation and bustling with business.
Among all those gathered not a
moan* wan heard. Bankers said the
only problem before them is to em
ploy the money farmers and stock
raisers are putting into tlie banks.
Very little borrowing is being done
by the farmers. Consequently the
banks are again buying eastern coin-;
mereKl paper that the money in their
charge may he kept at work. This)
report does not apply to Gothenberg
alone, hut to all that region.
Countryside Bright.
Drive into the country around the
mty. and reasons fur the prosperity;
may he noted. Immense fields stretch
away in all directions, bright with the
vivid green of healthy winter wheat
or the softer hue of equally healthier
alfalfa. In other fields tractors aie
snorting back and forth, dragging the
discs that prepare the corn land fori
listing. Here and there teams of six
big horses, such as once * drew the
“brewer s wagon.” tug and strain as
they pull a heavy breaking plow
through tho tough sod. v
More land is being made ready!
to raise more crops to sell for more
money to put into the hanks to buy;
more commercial paper. The farm-j
ers out there are not only feeding the]
nation, hut are providing much of its
capital to operate on.
South of the Platte river the but*;
tom land is a rich but narrow strip,
running bm.k an average of three
miles to the high bluffs. On the
north a fat table land stretches for!
many miles. Irrigating ditc hes cross j
this, providing supplemental water to,
piece out the rainfall, making a crop
a certainty. A great federal project
is under consideration. If it goes]
through, the tillable acreage will be |
about doubled.
Gothenburg Good Example.
Gothenburg displays tlie* activities
of a city many times its size in pop
ulation. Water and light are provld
ed from cit?-owned plants. A splendid
auditorium and theater is owned ky
the city. Permanent curbs are being
set. the in taut ioq being to pave the
main streets of the town. Excellent
hotels accommodate an army of trav
eling salesmen, who moke the town
♦heir headquarters.
The citizens are getting ready b
vote money to erect a high 8* ho«.!
building at m coat of $177.,0©n. Henu-j
liful homes with spacious lawns,
avenues lined with trees, a country
club with an 1 vhole golf course, o
fine little lake, where tourists arc
provided with a camp ground, and
where bath houses invite swimmers.
A eity" park with a band stand, and a
band to furnish concerts during tho
sunuper. Not a sign. Keep Off the
Grass,” but many that say. ” Wel
come."
That’s Gothenburg. A real cure
for that tired feeling.

The trial of Robert Samardick, head
• >f the dry agent* here, scheduled for
Monday, was indefinitely postponed
Friday by Judge Woodrotigh.
Samardick, who faces five charges
of assault and battery filet! by County!
Attorney Henry Heal, was scheduled
to conic to trial Monday*
During the last few/ days an at
tempt to postpone the case was made,
but t’nited States Attorney Kinsler
refused.
Friday afternoon Kinsler and Heal
met with Judge Woodrough to sot
the hour of the trial when he an
nounced his decision.
‘‘I will not try any cases until
every liquor case is wiped^ off the
docket,” said Judge Woodrough.
"[ have set out to clean up this
liquor docket and will not stop until
I have completed my job.”
Both Kinsler and Beal attempted
to set a date in the future for the
trial, but Judge Woodrough refused
to consider any date and said he
would set one when the liquor docket
was cleaned up.
Following his decision, Samardick
pleaded with him to set an early date
for the trials, stating the pending
charges against hint were causing
him a great d£al of inconvenience.
