A NEW PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

There appears TO De an entangllng alliance
between the administration and the proponents
of the Plumb plan for government ownership
Of the railroads with control by the employees
According to Arthur Sears Henning, Washing
ton correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune, po-
itical developments of the first magnitude are
impending as result of the move of the rail
road unions to turn the transportation systems
over to the employees for operation and estab-
ish soviet government of industries generally;
and so the presidential campaign of 1920 sud
denly has taken on new and significant as

MIND YOUR BUSINESS.

/ Mr. Hoover's warning words to Europe come
from intimate knowledge Of the situation; Mr..
Hoover knows conditions as few men do. He
tells European peoples that they must go to
work; that political dissension must stop abb
sorbing public interest; that the old world must
begin to feed itself since the new world cannot
continue to bear the burden put upon it by pres
ent chaos in Europe.
+ Mr.. Hoover's warning comes just at time
when delegation representing farmers asso
citations has told the president that it is the
sense of this nation farm owners and workers
that the people, individually and collectively,
stop o,larreling and go to work" Sober sense
the world over sees plainly the necessity of just
this procedure to prevent wholesale disaster.
IF we cannot get some of the wartime sense
operative now that the opportunity for peace IS
here, we shall go on with war and war OF the
worst sort It would help vastly If everybody
began honestly to tend to his own business and
to fairly permit other people to do the same.
IF the railroad trainmen get another advance
in wages as they demand, it probably Will re-
suit in officials joining the unions ON the plea
that there is more money IN wages than IN sal
laries.
People used frequently to remark that they
would bet dollars to doughnuts But nowadays,
with old General High Cost of Living in COM

Many Elk Soldiers Stars in
Today's Foot Ball Double Bill
Former Comrades on Overseas Battlefelds Will Be
Pitted Against Each Other in Grid Contests at
Rourke Park in This Afternoons Pair of Games.
By WILLIAM o. BLOZIES.

Ex-service men, who fought side
by side on the field of battle. in the
recent worlds war, will, this after
noon, in several instances, oppose
each other on the amateur foot ball
field, while some of them also fight
side by side for grid honors.
Both of today's amateur foot ball
contests will be the feature events
and both promise to be the hardest
fought thus far.
In the opening game at Rourke
park, the Athletics, eaptained by
Frank Greene, will oppose the c.
Y. M. A. eleven, composed mainly
of ex-service men, while number
of the. players of the Athletics were
in the same company with the play
ers Of the c. Y. M. A.
This is also the case in the second
battle, between the Nonpariels,
city and state champions, and the
Omaha Blue Devils. All four of
these elevens have been playing
great foot ball this season and have
not as yet been defeated, so they
will be out there fighting for every
inch to uphold their indicated rec
ord.
Practically every man on the
teams has had years of experience
in the grid game. and last season
many of them won a name in the
hall of fame while playing on some
crack army or navy eleven.
Such men as Bedford, R. Coyle. J.
Coyle, Ryberg, Murphy, Flynn, Co.
gan and Laner, for the Omaha
Devils, need no introduction, as
they are we'll known in local cir

also is true of Peterson, Nygard.

Thornton, Of the Athletics, and
Lewis, Graham, w. Williams, D.
and ]. Nordstrom and Keyser.
As for the Nonpariels, every man
is we'll known and many thousands
Of local foot bali fans have witnessed
the members OF this crack eleven in
action.
The opening game will start at 2
o'clock and the main event will be
put on Immediately after the initial
battle is over. Considerable inter-
est is being centered in each game,
and, since they all have a large
bunch of followers, one of the larg-
est crowds that has yet attended an
amateur foot ball contest in Omaha
this season is looked for.
Manager Lynch of the Nonpariels
announced yesterday that he has
scheduled a number of out-of-town
games and is trying to make ar
rangements to bring the teams to
Omaha. Whether Of not he will be
successful. is still uncertain, as the
teams are asking for big guaran-
tees.

Touchdown.

The Lincoln High team, which
played in Omaha yesterday at
Rourke park, now is in line for the

Purple and White lads yesterday by
the score of % to B. Lincoln's line
rallied and held out in pinches, keep
ing the locals from crossing the line.
Central High outclassed the Capital
City lad. throughout the first half,
threatening the line several times.
Lamb and Lewellen, on the side Of
the Lincolnites, and Swoboda and
Clements, for the local high, played
a stellar game.
Line smashing and long passes
comprised most of the plays in the
first half. At one time Central High
warriors had the oval on the three
yard line, but were unable to put it
over. Swoboda gained most of the
ground for the locals in the first
half, although Weston gained 20
yards on long pass from Robert
son. Clement starred in the first
half by running down the Lincoln
punts in good style. The first half
ended with the ball on the Central
Vineyard line.
Lincoln Married.
Between the halves the c. 0. c.
OF the local high pulled off a clever
stunt of marrying Lincoln to defeat.
Grimes, Russell and Baker were the
chief ones in the sketch.
The third quarter was the Water
loo for the Central men, Lincoln
kicked off to Weston, who touched
the ball and then allowed the ball
to go out of bounds on the l5-yard
line. Robertson punted out of
bounds. After one failure to make
the necessary yards, Lincoln gave
the ball to Dillenbaugh, who, when
tackled, fell over the line for the
first touchdown. Lewelen kicked
goal. Lincoln again kicked off to
Logan, who returned the ball 10
yards. On failure to make yards,
Central was forced to punt. Lamb
received the punt and raced 40 yards
down the field before Moser tackled
him. On a>20-yard spiral, Diffen-

kicked goal for his touchdown.
Makes Spectacular Run.
The most spectacular play OF the
game occurred when Robertson kicked
off to Lamb, who caught the ball
on the goal line and raced SO yards
for a touchdown. The Lincoln fol-
lowers almost went wild in the
grandstand, while Lamb was being
carried up the field. Lewellen kicked
the goal for the extra count. Swo-
boda, on receiving the ball, raced
IS yards down the field. w. G.
Kline of the Illinois university then
blew the whistle, which marked the
victory of the Capital City. lads.
The Lincoln Reserves won the
preliminary from the Central Re-
serves by the score of 90. Somer-
