tlon.)
There Is not the least doubt In the
minds of all who to-day are looking
ahead that the countries OF South and
Central America together with Mexico
and the Islands of the Caribbean are to
be the chief great field for the explolta-
ton and development of trade in all Of
Its branches now that the world war Is
over.
The nations of Europe already have
been preparing for the time when their
domestic industries would need increased
foreign markets, both in regard to out
lets for their finished products and for
importation Of raw materials for the
preparation and manufacture thereof.
The race to reach the goal will be
very exciting and victory will come to
the nation that is best prepared. that
has trained more carefully. that has
given the greatest attention to all de-
| tails. that has studied the ground more
thoroughly and looked into all the pros
| and cons from every possible angle and
with the utmost unselhshness.
The republics OF the Americas and the
European island possessions in the Ca
1 ribbean constitute about the richest I'M
exploited section OF the world They
| have possibilities second to no other Sec
ton. because they are the natural home
OF many of the worlds most important
and highly priced raw products, while
they possess an aggregate OF population
whose purchasing capacity from now on
| has to Increase at q greater ratio than
that OF any other equally undeveloped
section of the world.
| More Than n Dumping Ground.
| To the United States this vast terri
tory means something more than a
dumping ground for Its excess produc-
tiop Of manufactured goods. Through
proximity. political institutions and
commercial and financial wealth the
United States Of America has a right to
| occupy in the American world a posi-
| ton OF prominence and to be the pre-
| dominant partner Of a society founded
on equality and Justice.
The future OF the trade with Latin
| America will depend largely on the
| ability OF the United States to finance
the republics and assist them with capt.
| tai in the development of their natural
resources and the betterTnent of their
home conditions. So. therefore. as an
iHtrouuCIloH 10 inc question OF uaue
developments 1t IL well TO look first into
the financing phase OF international
trading.
II the United States wishes to retain
any Of the trade it has acquired during
the war in the territories of the Cen
trail and South American republics,
Mexico and the islands of the Carib-
bean. It should busy itself with the
question of financing those countries in
| which 1t strives TO acquire a permanent
commercial position.

at is ohr true policy to steer clear
of permanent alliances with any por-
ton of the foreign world"
Stand By Jefferson.
The attitude which the United
States should take toward European
countries was more forcibly, and
more frequently, expressed by
Thomas Jefferson. In letter to, Ell
bridge Gary, he says:
II am for free commerce with all
nations, political connections with
none. am not for linking our
selves by new treaties with sthe
quarrels of Europe, or entering that
field of slaughter to preserve their
balance, or joining in their confed-
eracy of kings to war against the
principles of liberty"
In a letter to E. Darlington, he
says:
1T is maxim with US, and T. think
1t a wise one, not 10 entangle our
selves with the affairs OF Europe"
In a letter to T. Lomax, under
date OF March, 1899, Jefferson
writes:
Il sincerely join you in abjuring
all political connection with every
foreign power, and, though | cor
daily wish we'll to the progress of
liberty in all nations, and would for
ever give it the weight of our coun-
tenance, yet they are not to be
touched without contamination from
their other bad principles"
Commerce Only. -.
In a letter to Edward Rutledge,
in 1877, Jefferson writes:
Gas to everything except COM
merce, we ought to divorce our
selves from all foreign alliances.

we shall not" .
In letter to John Taylor, in
1898, he says:
Better keep together as we are
hands off from Europe, as soon as
we can, and from all attachments to
any portions of il"
In a letter to George Logan, un-
der date of March, 1901, Jefferson
writes:
ITO take part in European con-
ficts would be to divert our energies
from creation to destruction /,
ought to be the very first object Of
our pursuit to have nothing to do
with European interests and poll
tics. Let them be free, or slaves, al
will; navigators or agriculturists;
swallowed into one government, or
divided into a thousand, we have
nothing to fear from them in any
form"
In letter to Philip Mazei, writ
ten in July, 1904, Jefferson says:
at is against our system to en-
barrass ourselves with treaties, or
to entangle ourselves at all with the
affairs of Europe.
1--WE believe that with nations, as
with individuals, dealings may be
carried on as advantageously, per-
haps more so, while their continu-
ance depends on voluntary good
treatment, as if fixed by a contract
which, when it becomes injurious to
either, is made by forced construc-
tons to mean what suits them, and
becomes cause of war instead of
a bond of peace"
Alliances With None.
In his first address address, Presi-
dent Jefferson said:
Honest friendship with all ma
tons, entangling alliances with none,
! deem one of the essential principles
of our government, and, consequent
ly, one which ought to shape its ad-
rninistration."
In letter to Thomas Paine, writ
ten in 1901, he says:
Determined as we are to avoid if
possible wasting the energies of our
people in war and destruction, we
should avoid duplicating ourselves
with the powers of Europe, even in
support of principles which we mean
to pursue They have so many other
interests different from ours that we
must avoid being entangled in them"
To Thomas Leiper, in 1885, he
writes:
The less we have to do with the
antilles or enmities of Europe, the
better"
In letter to J. Gonna, in 1920, he
says:
"All entanglements with that quar-
ter of the globe (Europe) should be
avoided if we mean that peace and
Justice shall be the polar star of the
American societies. The fundamental
principle of our government is never
to entangle us with the broils of
Europe"
In letter to George Logan, writ
ten in 1901, Jefferson says:
Z II join you in a sense of the
necessity of restoring freedom to the
ocean, but | doubt with you whether
the United States ought to join in an
armed confederacy for that purpose,

Railroad Swindler Runs
School of Crime in Omaha
Claim Agent Discovers Organized Plan to Defraud
Company on Fake Claims for Damages Due to
Personal Injuries to Employees.

At times during their existence,
in all great cities there have been
schools maintained where crooks
have taught to both young and old
the proper methods to adopt in
order to become experts in the COM
mission of crime. Presumably Oma-
ha has not been an exception to the
rule. However, one of these schools
was recently forced to close its
doors, Immediately after which the
master in charge sought other
fields.
Until a few months ago railroads
were swamped with personal injury
claims of parties afflicted with rup-
lures and hernia. They were COM
ing in thick and fast and the rail-
roads we're settling their claims.
Sam Peterson, general claim agent
for the Union Pacific, ordered the
payment of a number of claims of
track men, who contended that
while working out on the lines, by
reason of the hard work exacted of
them, they were sufferers from rup-
ture and hernia. Finally the claims
became so numerous that Peterson
started an investigation and the
outcome of that investigation was
that during the last six months not
a man afflicted with rupture or
hernia has put in an appearance
along the lines of the Overland sys-
tenn.
In pursuing his Investigations,
Peterson discovered that here in
Omaha there was being maintained
a school where those attending as
students were instructed in the art
of beating railroad. Men who had
previously contracted hernia, or
who had been ruptured were hunted
for both high and low, the school
master" paying premium for the
names of all such. They were
brought to Omaha, and obtained
positions with the Union Pacific
as track and section men. For
few days they did their work we'll
and then came the inevitable hernia,

While the question is under con-
alteration whether the league Of ma
tions treaty should be ratified or not
by the United States senate, it is in
teresting to note the attitude toward
alliances with European countries, OF
two of the early presidents OF the
United States--George Washington
and Thomas Jefferson, whose theory
of government in many respects
the PROTOTYPE of the two prevailing
political parties of today.
While George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson differed on many
points of governmental policy, they
entertained the same views on the
subject OF alliances with European
countries.
In his farewell address to the peo-
pie of the United States, President
Washington said:
Washington's Address.
against the insidious wiles of for
eign influence, the jealousy of free
people ought to be constantly awake,
since history and experience prove
that foreign influence is one of the
the most baneful foes of republican
government. The great rule of con-
duct for us in regard to foreign ma
tons is, in extending our commercial
relations, to have as little polit-
ical connection as possible. Europe
has set of primary interests which
to us have none, or very remote,
relation. Therefore, it must be un-
wise in US to implicate ourselves by
artificial ties in the ordinary vicissi-
tudes of her politics, or the ordinary
combinations and collisions of her
friendships or enmities.
"Why forego the advantage of so
peculiar a situation (as ours)? Why
quit our own to stand upon foreign
ground? Why, by Intervening our
destiny with that of any part of Eu-
rope, entangle our peace and pros
perity in the tolls of European am

or rupture. In each instance it wa,
a clear case against the company.
By some hook or crook, Petersos
was admitted to the school as 4
student. There he learned how the
railroad company with which he wa,
connected was being cheated by
sharpers. With this information, he
told the master" that unless he
closed his school and left town in.
side of "a hours he would be look.
ing through the bars. The "schoo,
master" needed only half of this
time, for inside of II hours he was
gone and his whereabouts have not
since been discovered. As a result
of the School" closing, it has been
weeks since a hernia, or rupture,
damage claim has been presented to
the Union Pacific.

In letter to President Monroe, in
1920, long after Jefferson had retired
to the quietude of private life, and
with opportunity of reflection on the
plan and operation of our constitu-
tional form of government, he
writes:
"T have ever deemed it fundamen-
tai for he United States never to
take active part in the quarre1s of
Europe; their political interests are
entirely distinct from ours; their
mutual jealousies, their balance of
power, their complicated alliances,
their forms and principles of gov
eminent, are all foreign to us; they
are nations of eternal war.
In a letter to Baron Won Hum
boldt, written in December, 1878,
Jefferson says:
European nations constitute a
separate division of the globe; their
treaties make them part of distinct
system; they have set of interests

A convenient arrangement for TAX
ing Up slack in drop light cords Is
to put the cord on two pulleys
placed at convenient locations. The
cord should be fastened at two
places to pieces of heavy Irvine,

weight is hung on, each end of the
line. The cord as suspended from
these lines will be just long enough
to hold the lam off the. floor.

Splicing Fuel Pipe.

Cut the ends OF the pipes to be

bevel them alike so that they will
make tight juncture. This can be
accomplished with a hack saw and
file. Clean the ends of the pipes
with sandpaper and then place them
together. Next wind No. Is copper
wire, or door bell wire, with insula-
ton removed, over the splice. being
sure to wind tight, and close to-

makes a strong splice and one that

1t is possible to clear out a Ford
oil pipe which has become clogged
BY taking off the front gear plate,
which discloses the can gear, and
this is removed with a puller; Now
the end of the pipe is exposed. and
to this an air hose is connected, the
air is turned on and the obstruction
is blown out. Without thi- little

clared he had reached the conclusion
that uniform act was neither pos
sible nor desirable II such an act
should be adopted by all states, he
said, it would soon be SO amended as
to be unrecognizable. 1t was highly
desirable, however, he said, that the
association should agree on the es-
sential feature Of such laws, drawn
from common experience, and seek in
corporation of these features when
popular sentiment in each state or
province permitted the enactment OF
adequate compensation measures.
