THE BKE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1916, 5 IAD00 WILL GIVE OMAHA SQUARE DEAL Secretary of Treasury So Promises at Commercial Club luncheon. EXPLAINS FARM LOAN LAW A M'ADOO STORY. Secretary McAdoo told this story at a luncheon given in his honor at the Commercial club: - "A democratic friend of mine in the south was asked by his repub lican friend advice regarding the wisdom of the latter locating in Texas in the legal profession. The democratic friend made this reply, 'As an honest lawyer you will find no competition in Texas, and as a republican, you will be protected by the game laws.' " "I anticipate by your eager and confident taces that you expect a tarm loan bank in Omaha. There is no po sition that tempts me so to profanity as to have to be neutral, but Omaha is going to get a square deal," stated Hon. William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury of the United States, speaking at noon to a large gathering of men at the Commercial club. The secretary gave a succint and interesting explanation of the scope and operation of the farm loan bank law. "The farm loan system is a recip rocating part of, the credit mechanism of this country. It does not collide nor conflict, but rather dovetails in,' continued the speaker. Politics Has No Part. "There is nothing political in these things," he added. "I have contempt for men who think only of legislation for the benefit of some political party. We should discuss economic prob lems as intelligent men, above par tisanship, discarding political bias and prejudice.V There is a splendid element of American citizenship that stands between the political parties and says to the party in power, 'Serve all of the people or you may never have another chance.' We need more of truth and less of misrepresentation. It is this independent element of our citizenship that is going-to save our country from besetting ills. "The prosperity of the country to day is due largely to a responsive credit system, which enables business men to go forward with wholesome confidence. We have in the past ' Failed to adequately organize the farm credit of the country." Benefits the Farmers. The speaker referred to the people of the west as vigorous, with a vision, and a citizenship which has been an inspiration to the people of the east. He explained that the farm loan banks will be for the benefit of the moderate and bona fide farmers and not for land speculators. He said that the federal reserve act has enlarged the credit resources of the country. Introducing Secretary McAdoo, Gurdon W. Wattles said: "There is a feeling of cordiality and good will on the part of the bankers of Omaha toward the farm loan banks. Omaha is the natural base for a farm loan bank. Prosperity has come to us in such a degree that we are no longer dependent on outsiders, but-we realize that great benefits will accrue through the establishment of a farm loan bank here. It will relieve many from the results of misdirected information and will encourage sav ing in this community." Secretary McAdoo was accorded a generous reception from the gather ing of representative men of Omaha. Woman Tips Police, Who Get Fast Plumfiing Thieves Plumbers may possess the reputa tion of slow workers, but plumbing thieves are speed kings. The solu tion is probably in the manner in which each nits the pipe. Frank Delbridge, 1506 North Twen-tv-fourth street, and F. J.

Again Jelinek Will Try to Get That $20,000 When Judge Estel'e's court opened Friday morning Anton Jelinek again brought to trial his suit against the street railway company asking $20, 000. This action has been buffeted about in the courts since 1911. Jel inek was awarded the judgment in district colirt; the case was appealed to supreme court and the decision reversed. The supreme court ordered the case returned to district court for re-trial. Jelinek complains that he was struck by a street car at Twenty-second and Cuming streets, January 24, l'Jll.

Big Rush to Rescue Justice Britt's Exiled Car Justice of the Peace C W. Britt is having his troubles. Every mail brings a variety of pad lock and skeleton keys from friends who sympathize with the justice in his atlliction. "I've got more keys than Omaha's largest hardware store. Each key carries a different notation and advice from the unknown donor," said the down-hearted justice. "It's all been brought about through my unfortu nate losing of the key to the padloc'.: on my garage. The two keys origin ally provided have been lost in the shuffle. Because of losing , the keys my flivver has been tied up behind the door of the garage. Then, again, on another occasion I entrusted the key to my wife after the door was locked and the machine placed in the garage. She, too, lost the key and it was necessary for me to rip the hasp and the padlock from the door in order to get the machine out. Now some evil-minded friends insist on rubbing salt in the wound by mail ing me daily consignments of keys. I'm becoming a regulation locksmith. The collection includes every variety of key from a watch key to a huge skeleton key about seven inches long." New French War Credit of Nearly Nine Billion Franks Paris, Sept 22.

Mac and Jim Slip Away From the Curious and Go to View the Movies Where did Mayor Dahlman and Secretary of tl" Treasury McAdoo go after the dinner tendered the cab inet officer last evening at Hotel Foil tenelle? Did they go roller skating? No . The Secretary of the treasury of the United States of America whis pered to the mayor of Omaha this thought: "I would like to go to a picture show." It was 9 o'clock and the lobby of the great hotel was filled with per sons who wanted to get a 'glimpse of the keeper of the national ex chequer. And the keeper of the na tional "kale" was anxious to attend the movies. Secretary McAdoo is addicted to the movies.
