THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1918. i A STATE POLITICS GIVING DEMOS LOTSOF WORRY Fighting an Up Hill and Losing Battle During Coming Campaign Is Opinion Of B3ach. From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Sept. 22. (Special.) Si.'ce the publication in The Bee nd other state papers of a photo graphic copy of letters of the demo cratic national committee, holdine tip postmasters and other civil serv ice employes . for campaign contri butions, calling attention to the law that such contributions are prohib ited and then urging them to break - the law and come to the rescue of the democratic party with the money to save their scalps, they have be come more desperate than ever and evidnce is coming to republican state headquarters that no scheme will be too raw which will not be used :n hopes to save the inevit able defeat staring them in te face Speaking of the political situation and the apparent feeling among democrats that they are fiphting a losing battle, Chairman E. D. Rp-rh of the republican state committee laid to the Bee: Political Misnomer. x t "The much-worn 'politics has ad journed slogan is showing a pretty dilapidated condition just now and is destined to become as much of a political misnomer as the 'he kept us out of war' of the last campaign. "Further evidence that the 'politics has adjourned' proposition is still re sorted to is given in the publica tion of a lamp post interview in the local democratic paper this morning with a 'prominent citizen' who said that "republican victory would be Germany's most effective aid in her peace drive. Of course the party who wrote the interview does not believe anything of the kind, but in the desperate condition of the demo cratic machine something has got to be done, and why not resort to the old newspaper joke of the lamp post . Interview. Amusing Proposition. 'There are many amusing propo sitions in connection with what the reporter heard from the 'prominent citizen' he did not see. After play ing up the republican victory aid to Germany stuff as a lead for his story the whole thing appears so raw to him that he seeks to camouflage it by explanations intended to convey the impression that the 'prominent citizen' didn't mean it that way any way. He then even goes back to the loyalty convention held by the republicans of Nebraska last sum mer and calls attention to the speech of Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin. "Somehow democrats are bothered a great deal over the senator's speech. They can't get over it and are continually finding fault with it. This time the 'prominent citizen' heard one of the delegates to the convention say that 'the republican party is the only party that can conduct a war successfully and that itwill be necessary for the republi cans to take a hand in the game and finish it right for the democrats are not competent.' Not New Idea. "That, of course, is not a new idea. A whole lot of people have believed that for many years and the promi nent citizen' discovered nothing of a copyright nature. However, the 'prominent citizen' goes further and says that 'under the surgeon's knife republicans and democrats are ex actly alike.' "That of course depends upon what part of the anatomy the sur geon confines his operations. On the feet, a corn would look the same to a doctor whether it was a democrat or a republican. It is also possible that a democrat's appendix could be removed in just about the same pro cess as that of a republican. But above the shoulders would be where the difference would be found. This, however, is not a slam at the demo crat whose think tank works along different lines than that of the re publican. - Method of Doing Business. "Democrats have a different way of conducting the business of the government. Their method of doing business is in direct oppositionlo that of the republicans. Under their way of thinking the government can be run without a sufficient reveune to meet the expenses and make a success of it. "On the other hand the repub licans have always had an idea eminating from above their shoul ders that in order to keep out of the red, or in other words, in order to pay the expenses of running the government there must be a sys tem evolved which will bring in revenue to meet those expenses. It is simply the difference in the aead. "If a surgeon should operate on 4he head of a democrat he would find the wheels running in one di rection, while in the head of a re publican he would lind the wheels nmninfif in an entirely opposite di rection with the hand of the oper ator atways on the throttle to see tw thr tmvernment didn't go too fast This is the condition at the present time. Before Campaign Started. "Before the campaign started democrats were finding fault with democrats in congress because they did not stand behind the president ' v more loyally and calling attention JVo the fact that the republicans in S" .... ...ni-e mnr unanimously fWiind the oresident in his war pro as" - . , r . f gram than were the memoers 01 nis wn nartV. -AOW Uldl mc "iiiuaiK" is on the wheels are running in the Mhrr direction and they are afraid the election of a republican con gress will be a menace to the presi dent in his ettorts.to win me war. "Their political arguments need a rfcasir' to take away the taste of what they have already said a la Mav 1. 1917. and it appears to be 'nrettv hard work to adjust them selves to the rapidly moving pano lUma where tRe people of the coun try are changing front and getting f&ack to the original proposition that he country is safest in the hands of . Miron rnn cress." POTASH INDUSTRY LOOMSUP LARGE Next to Packing Business, Maupin Says it is the Largest in the State. American Casualty List From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Sept. 22. (Special.) "Potash has made Nebraska the best known state in the union," re marked Will Maupin, director of the Bureau of Publicity, yesterday. "This department has responded to requests for information about the state's potash industry from prac tically every country in the world, and the requests are coming in every day. A dozen states and many prov cines of Canada are sure they have potash deposits, and this department is swamped with requests to make anaylsis and tell all about how pot ash is made and the cost of install ing plants. All the requests for analysis are referred to the state chemists of the various states, and I frankly admit to n- corre'spondents that I do not know anything about costs or processes. California Potash no Good. "The publicity department is in formed that California potash is proving an injury wherever used for fertilizer, owing to the presence of borax in large quantities. No such complaint has been made about Ne braska potash, and today it is stan dard all over the country. Nebras ka is today producing 90 per cent of the potash produced in the United States, and the output is rapidly be coming equal to the German. impor tation prior to the war. "During 1918 Nebraska will pro-duce-aipward of $20,000,000 worth of potash. More than- $S,000,000 is invested in the industry, not includ ing leases on lakes, and the weekly payroll mounts into the thousands of dollars. Next to the packing in dustry it is the largest manufactur ing industry in the state." , Blair Store Robbed By Two Bandits Who i Escape in Automobile Blair, Neb., Sept. 22. (Special Telegram.) As James Mose, pro prietor of a confectionery store, was closing his doors at 12:20 a. m., to day two men about 25 years old, wearing dark clothes, one tall and one short, asked to be let in to use the telephone, saying their car was out of order. Mr. Mose let them in and after talking about their car and buying some candy the tall man turned and pushed a revolver in Mose's face and held him while the other man rifled the cash register, getting $36.85, but missed $117, which laid behind the cash register. A few mjnutes before they had been in the grocery store of J. Mueller and one made the remark, "nothing doing here." They also tried to force an entrance into the Rogers restaurant, which had closed its doors. The car was a large six cylinder and the men drove south towards Omaha. About an hour later the chief of police received a telephone message that the same men had held up two young men in an automobile four miles north of Florence, taking a gold watch and $3 in cash. Automobile loads of heavily armed officers scoured the country between here and Omaha for several hours in an effort to apprehend the men, but the hunt was futile. It is thought they made their way safely to Omaha. Wireless Operators or Radio-Buzzers Are 1 ' r . r inow m ureat uemam d Lincoln. Sept. 21. (Special. The demand for radio-buzzer or wireless operators greatly exceeds the sup ply, according to -u A. fulmer, special agent for war training, and thousands of operators are needed by the War department right now. Mr. fulmer, who also is superin tendent of vocational training in Ne braska, gave out the following infor mation regarding the needs and says it opens up a field which should appeal to the young people of the state especially: 1. "Wireless" equipment Is osed on all ships, many aeroplanes, field batteries, etc., and Is the most common means of com munication In war. 3. Radlo-buzzer classes are now open tn connection with the state university, the Peru, Wayne and Kearney State Normal schools, and the Omaha Young Men's Christian association. 3. Any registrant, old or new, may enter. 4. The course requires about eight weeks. S. The student pays his own expenses but tuition Is fiee; his draft status is not changed; he remains a civilian until called Into service. i. When he has attained the speed of 10 words per minute he may be Inducted Into service In the Signal corps, and sent to a finishing school. T. The student Is certificated and guarl anteed placement In the Signal corps. S. Evening classes are offered for local men employed during the day. Miss Howe Drives Auto Onto Thorras, Messenger Boy Lincoln, Sept. 22. (Special.) Miss Helen Howe, a university stu dent, Omaha, but who resides at the Delta Gamma house in Lincoln, run her automobile over the curb and into a tree last evening to avoid hitting a messenger boy, Morton Thomas on a bicycle, whom she did not see until too late. The boy was knocked from his wheel and Miss Howe's car damaged consider ably. Miss Howe assumed all responsi bility for the accident and took the name and address of the boy who was not hurt badly. She told him to get his wheel repaired and she would settle the bill. Boone County Fair Marks Up Record in Attendance From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Sept. 22. (Special.) .

Senators Join in Praise Of Secretary of Interior, Washington, Sept. 22.

People from every walk of life in increas ing numbers are drink ing. POSTUM A The first users were impelled by reasons of health, and in the new er form, Instant Postum, there are qualities of economy and serviceability in addition to value and splendid taste which makes' it the para mount table beverage for discriminating people. "There's a Reason" An Appsal- aiBiasaiaiaaBBaaaai SMSiiiiiiiaiBBiBBBBaBiaBBBiBiiBiaBBBiBiBiiaiiH -By American Brewers- Brisasssssi mmmmmmmmmmmammmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm t To the American People The Press Has in the Past Few Days given much space to the fact that certain American brewers loaned the sum of $375,000. to Mr. Arthur Brisbane, which sum he used in the purchase of the Washington Times. In many publications referring to this matter, the word "German" is applied to the word "brewer," and there is con tinued and persistent effort to create in the minds of readers the impression that brewers are as a class unpatriotic. The attempt to create and foster this impression is to give bjrth and nour ish what is a malicious and cowardly lie! MORE THAN NINETY-FIVE PER CENT OF ALL THE BREWERS IN THE UNITED STATES ARE AMERICAN BORN. AND IN VERY. LARGE PROPORTION OF CASES THEIR PARENTS WERE AMERICAN BORN. What Money. They Have has beefl made in American busi ness and invested in America. Since the beginning of the war brewers have been among the largest purchasers of every Liberty bond issue, the total of their subscriptions amounting to many millions of dollars. They have contributed in large amounts to the Red Cross and other war activities. Brewers Themselves are wearing the uniform of service and the sons and the grandsons of brewers are fighting under the Stars and Stripes. In The Many Acts of Disloyalty discovered by the Depart ment of Justice prior to and during the war, there is not one single instance where any brewer, directly or indirectly, has in any way, been found guilty of any act which could be considered disloyal.. i It Has Never Been Shown and can never be shown that any American brewer has contributed, directly or indirectly, to the .dissemination of any unpatriotic propaganda! Much Publicity Has Been Given to the fact that before war commenced brewers of the country contributed money to the German-American Alliance for the purpose of contesting prohibition. Not one single dollar was ever paid to the German-American Alli ance by any brewer after the declaration of war between Ger many and our country, and this fact is well known to every man who has investigated this subject. A Few Days Agc-our president issued a proclamation forbid ding the manufacture of beer after December first. Despite the fact that this order destroys a Million dollars' worth of property, it has been accepted by the brewers without complaint, because they realize that in the judgment of our president such a ruling is nec essary to the success of the war program. Are Certain Politicians disappointed in their ambitions, and those who are opposed to the consumption of any beverage with the slightest trace of alcohol, so powerful that they can use the hor rors of this distressing war to heap odium and disgrace upon a class of citizens whose loyalty, measured by whatever standard, ia One Hundred Per Cent American?
