John Henry Wants to Know.

Omaha, April ITO the Editor
of The Bee: Your editorial on PARTY
Desertion" is to the point and how
truly this illustrates the old saying,
that politics makes strange bedfel-
lows, for if this Mullen, Bryan and
Edmisten combination is not whole
circuit itself, then we will have to go
into the jungle of South Africa to
find one. The elephant, the donkey
and the hermaphrodite ought to sat
isfy the curiosity and lovers Of the
ancient kingdom.
/ now take my hat off to the all
wise editor Of the World Herald. his
comparing the third party to Dol
drums, it was master stroke. Per-
haps he was wise to the deal, when
he wrote the editorial. There is a
question, however, that the Herald
editor might be able to answer,
how can Norton swallow all the pro-
gessive party, when he was in Grand
Island, when the progressive conven-
ton was in session, and refused to
attend that convention? Was he not
afraid then that he might be con-
taminated with the bunch that he is
now ready to swallow.
There is another niger in the
woodpile. How dJcs Sorensen get
remunerated for repairing demo-
cratic fences, unless il Howell Is
nominated on the republican ticket;
Wray will capitulate to Howell as he
did to Norton on the democratic
ticket. Suppose Howell and Wray
are both defeated at the primaries
where will Sorensen put his eggs
to hatch? Hitchcock might buy the
eggs. hatch them in his own incu-
bator which would make them full
fedged democrats.
This is certainly sweet bunch
to tie too. Where will the honest
reformers Of Nebraska go to find
what they want? If this bunch of
Doldrums are on the trade now,
what good would they be as pro-
gressives if elected? Was it not
fortunate for all concerned that they
showed their hands before election.

attractive young woman, rather

Just then her telephone rang and
she carried on the most candid and
businesslike yet gracious business
conversation I ever heard. Her Gus

rebuying.

preached:
Mrs. Olesen's Political Creed.
THAT government was organized
for the general welfare and should
be so maintained.
THAT a peoples bloc is needed in
Congress as against any other 'blocs'
whatever-equal rights for all, spe-
cial privileges for none, individuals
or classes.
THAT the tariff should be lowered
so that the farmer may secure a
market for his products and the cost
of living be still further reduced.
That the Esch-Cummins Railroad
law should be repealed because it
specially aids a special interest, an
unsound policy. WRONG economically
and politically.
THAT the Newberry case should be
reopened in the Senate to correct one
of the worst political crimes of
AmeriGIn history.

is about the busiest little person in
the whole of America.
Stilf, her work is cut out for her.
Minnesota has had a Democratic
Senator only three times in its his
tory, and she has scarcely an even
chance. The Democratic National
Committee. seeing vast advertising
possibilities, and not without hope Of
success, is preparing to aid her
financially and with a choice crew
OF speakers. That promise was
made to her by CordeIl Hull, chair
man Of the Democratic National
Committee, and by the end of sum-
mer Minnesota may become one of
the most interesting battle grounds
in the politics Of the nation, with
big guns detonating ever SO often.

do you really believe that you
can beat Kellogg?"
"Of course I do" she replied
briskly. His own record will beat
him. He voted to seat Newberry.
That is quite enough if know the
feeling throughout this State, and I
think I do"
But the President carried Min

she returned. Minnesota is not
hidebound. The many causes that
made for a Harding sweep in 1920
are not operating in this campaign,
or, rather, the opposite of them are
operating. Moreover, Minnesota is
no longer hidebound in politics.
There is a stir of resentment all over
the State against the majority in
Congress. and IDEAL of anger over
this Newberry2 case, the tariff and
other matters. That Harding ma
jority is apt to melt like a SNOWFALL
under the midsummer sun when
people go to the polls to register
their opinion of Kellogg's course in
upholding the political crime of a
century"
Her Party's Official Candidate.
Mrs. Oiesen at this writing is in
the thick of her campaign, the ap-
proved, official candidate of her
party, the first woman candidate for
the United States Senate. An enor-
nous itinerary has been laid out for

"A B Cs of investing. You frequently
have to train your clients-men and
women alike" And then she added:
"Curiously enough, school teachers
are often very hard to deaA with.
Their minds are accustomed to work
along certain lines, in which they
assume the ascendancy over younger
minds. This has tendency to make
| them infiexible. not open to convic-
| tion- They are not accustomed to
follow, but to lead"
Physicians, as class, she said,
| were just the opposite. They're
| easy listeners" she explained, and
gave her reason for this. They have
to give so much of their time and
thought to questions of health that
their minds become satiated with the
intricacies of physical ills. They are
only too eager to be diverted. A dis
cussion of investments interests them
just at a time when their whole
being is craving a new interest.
They are naturally open to convic-
ton"
This weakness on the part of many
professional men-for 1t amounts to
a weakness-has been played upon
by many huckster of bogus securi-
ties. It is at the bottom of much
of the unwise speculation that has
been crying aloud for justice.
How Saleswomen Are Made.
Miss Merchant explained how
saleswomen are made. First they
must be possessed of those qualifica-
tons which she had mentioned as
| necessary for salesmanship. In ad-
dition they must have the person
atty which enables them to gain and
hold the attention and interest of
their customers. Then they must
learn the financial field, have a grasp
of the conditions and influences that
operate in that field, so that they
can talk On every phase of the sub
ject intelligently. They must know
how to arrange well rounded list of
investments for each customer, TAX
ing into consideration all the condi
tions and needs.
you know, in finance, as in love-"
she explained, smiling, you must not
put all your eggs in one basket. No
investor should put all his money in
one type of security; it's a bad pol
icy. And it's the work of the sales
man to keep in touch with the differ
ent fields and advise the customer"
Miss Merchant explained that her
house was the pioneer in employing
women to sell. They first took
women with wide social connections.
because Of the clientele that they
would bring. Soon, however, they
saw the fallacy Of that as the only
requirement and inaugurated the
system Of training for saleswomen.
Sex Percentage is 60-4O.
What Is the proportion of men
and women in your clientele?" I
asked.

as to her duties. But very soon the
courage which had won her high
recognition in sports among her
Long Island friends when she was
younger and richer, combined with
her good sense and judgment, helped
her to grasp of banking lore. She
created place for herself. Her
services are now indispensable to
the bank and its customers.
