Spirit of Bravado Gone

Levenworth, Kan, Dec. 5.-(Spe-
cial Telegram.)- )-"There is my long
time home" smiled Keith Collins,
confessed member of the gang that
staged the largest mail robbery on
record, in Council Bluffs, November
IS, as the street car on which he
was riding stopped in front of the
federal penitentiary here. He will
serve l5-year sentence imposed on
him by Federal Judge Martin J..
Wade in Des Moines.
Collins appeared gloomy when his
arrival failed to create the excite
ment that greeted him in Des Moines
and which brought forth his bragga-
docio statement that the, publicity
he had obtained would be worth
100000 to- him, as he planned to
enter the movies when he got out
of prison.
Arrival Unheralded. 6
The first knowledge the higher
prison officials had of his arrival was
when questioned by Bee corre-
spondent. He will not be accorded
the star prisoner treatment given
Bill Haywood and Jack Johnson,
Judging from the little interest paid
to him on his arrival.
Collins arrived between two dep
uty marshals and was handcuffed to
one of them. The officers say he had
very little to say during the trip. He
will not be "mugged" or given his
prison clothing until Monday. 1t
had not been decided today to what
kind of work Collins will be as
signed.

Speaker Says Women Are

ISOLATION of nations has turned me
against him, so he Is turning thousands
of other women against him." declared
Miss Lucy Elliot in a speech before the
Democratic women's forum at the Indi
ana Democratic Club last night.
She termed Senator Harding's discus
sion of the League of Nations as an 'ir
reverent attitude toward the greatest
document that either the nation or the
world has ever known"
Playing for women's sympathy Sem
ator Harding started his campaign by
falsifying," she said
Miss Elliot traced the desire for peace
among the people, beginning in the early
ages.
She pointed out that the beginning Of
peace was with the small groups, later
in the towns and finally growing into
national alliances.
She cited the peace alliances of the
Middle Ages and the modern treaties as
proofs of her statement.
Miss Elliot pointed out that the Monroe
Doctrine is along the very line OF the
along with three immortal documents
the Declaration Of independence. the
Constitution and the Mcnroe Doctrine.
Refining Democracy Miss Elliot said
It is "a free cooperation of free peoples"
That the American Bar Association has
Endorsed the League of Nations with
reservations, after having studied It, was
pointed out by Miss Elliot ss evidence
of It's legality.
1.-THE adoption OF the Constitution met
with as great II not greater opposition
than the league adoption" said Miss
Elliot, therefore we should feel that It
is a great document rather than be dis
couraged over the bitter opposition"
In commencing the Democratic admin
istration for keeping out OF war with
Mexico, she said that a war was being
urged only by such interests as the
Standard oil Company on account Of mer-
cenary objects
Miss Elliot's reference to President
Wilson brought forth applause when she
declared that the Republicans who are
trying TO disgrace him cannot take away
his great ideal expressed In his war mes
sage to Congress"
The Keynote OF the Republican party
has been criticism and constant knock
ing" said Miss Elliot.

MORRISON HITS
BANKERS VIEW
Labor Secretary Says Finan-
ciers Fool No One but
Themselves.

WASHINGTON, Der. 23.--Secretary
Frank Morrison of the American Federn-
ton of Labor Today replied to the Ameri-
can Bankers Association which yester-
day in convention adopted a resolution
calling on labor to abandon the eco
nomic fallacy that it can attain greater
prosperity through a reduction of out
put"
"The bankers" said Morrison, repeat
Photographic utterances about labor,
capital and brains and the need for
labor to produce more.
as 1t now time for men who discuss
economic questions to shandon the old
theory that labor has no brains?
CALLS BANKERS
HUMoRIsTS.
These bankers are delightful humor-
lists when they lecture labor about pro-
ducing more.
LET them tell their story to the auto
mobile workers in the Middle West who
are laid Off by thousands.
Let them preach to textile workers
in the East where mills are shut down
by one of the Nations most powerful
and richest trusts
Let them tell building craftsmen their
story.
Let them tell coal miners to work
more when the records show that for
the last twelve months those miners have
produced more than 100000 tons more
coal than in the previous twelve months
Every bituminous mine field in the
United States but Alabama and Mngo
County, West Virginia, is in full opera
ton.
'In these two exceptions the miners
are striking for living wage.
MINE PRODUCTION
sAIASHES RECORDS.
THE miners elsewhere are smashing
all production records and yet we find
the price OF coal prohibitive and bankers
1ecturlng on the need for greater pro-
duction.
1.-THE Governments record OF exports OF
manufactured goods does not sustain the
bankers position.
Let the bankers insist that the law
of supply and demand, for which they
profess suek high regard, be permitted
to operate.
Let them call on the trusts and com.
biaes TO stop fixing prices and to stop
closing mills and shops to maintain these
present high prices.

selves, but they are fooling no one else"
