VENGEANCE IS NINE"
COPPER NEEDS SALESMAN
FORD, NOT INTERESTING.
IF DAUGHERTY TALKED.
By Arthur Brisbane

How many sturdy Americans WILLING
to serve their country are now plan
ming to be President, do YOU SUPPOSED
There was general feeling that NC
Adoo had the Democratic nomination
unless Al Smith could get it awav
from him. 1t seemed certain that Mr.
Coolidge had the Republican nomina
ton by an overwhelming majority on
the first ballot
But little oil makes a great diff
erence in the political situation and now
anybody has right to hope.
Many an ambitious American is
spending his dollars now handing them
to political experts in return for
Presidential promises.
There are probably at the least one
thousand Serious candidates at this
moment.
Friendly warning to big men inclin-
ed to injure business and scare little
stockholders in revenge for the SEN
ate oil investigation.
DON'T DO 1T.
1t won't pay you in the long run,
and, besides. it is written, dearly be-
loved, avcnge not yourselves
vengeance is Mine, I will repay, saith
the Lord"
Public officials have had warning
learned lesson. Some will get more
than a lesson. Valuable truths have
come out; others are coming.
On the whole it's a small thing,
which really doesn't amount to much
more than catching little Willie telling
Ia, No ~,
family. Send Willie to bed and let bus
mess go on.
Another copper concern, the Inspir-
alton Copper Company, followed the
example of the big Anaconda, and
skipped its dividend That means bad
craftsmanship and not enough adver-
Using. If the copper men would ex-
plain, through advertising in plain Ian
guage, what copper means and what
it SAVES in building, no company
able to produce copper at 20 cents a
pound or better need lack business.
The house at last will take up Hen
ry Ford's Muscle Shoals offer 1t
seems hard to get anything moving
when no gentleman ION the inside" is
to get any money in a satchel or any
loan from friend.
Ford offers millions to the govern
ment, cheap fertilizer to the farmer and
most important demonstration of the
use that can be made of water power
But that isn't enough to interest gen.
tlemen accustomed to private talks,
private codes and private financial ar
engagements.
Mr.. Mellon, Secretary of the Treas
ury, says the national debt has been
reduced $933,000,000 in the last year,
and four thousand eight hundred mil
lions in four and half years. Your
, glorious country now owes $21, 781, -
oo6,852. 1t takes big and prosper
GUS country to owe as much as that.
And while we ought to pay off rapidly,
we COULD owe five times that much
and more too, and not be bankrupt
Men and women with more self con-
fidence than intelligence intend to
produce in New York a play "AlI
Z Gods Chillun Got Wings"
In this play white woman falls in
love with negro, marries him and
kneeling before him, kisses the negro's
=, hand. A full-blooded negro of unusual
: intelligence will play one part, white
+ woman will play the other.
There is perhaps no law that cam
stop this foolishness, but common in
Z tell'gence and decency should stop it,
4 IF ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF the
NEGRO RACE.
The. dullest mind connected with
that theatre must know that to show
y white woman falling on her knees
and kissing. Negroes hand is a bad
= thing tor the colored race of whom
there are thousands in New York-to
: say nothing Of millions elsewhere.
y Attorney General Daugherty de
e clares that IF some Senators do not
S resign he, Daugherty, will cause some
). splash"
a Mr.. Daugherty knows the differ
h ence between splash" and a little
S ripple. The public will watch for the
n splash with interest. The Attorney
General could reveal more about the
real character of certain officials than
half dozen oil Investigations. He
/ knows what senators and others are
e trying to do, whom they are trying
e po Snleld, and whom they seek to-
prosecute.
Il Prosecution of Mr.. Daugherty's pri-
e vate information would cause splash
It indeed.
IS There is even worse news about
/ whales than about bees. Whales are
not coming up from the South Pole
y as they used to come, offering oil from
a blubber, whalebone from their mouths
(. and proof OF evolution, in the two lit
o tie hip bones concealed in their fat
+ although they no longer use
e the legs to which those hip bones were
4 once attached
f The whalebone doesn't matter, for
5 ladies now go loose around the waist
[ as rule. But the whaling industry is
:. in bad shape. 81.
