PRICE TWO CENTS. t Washfngtcm Wm Fl N A L EDITION I - f By ARTHUR BRISBANE. (Copyright. 1310.) ' From each successful man, .as he passes along, other men learn something. Business men learn this from Heinz, the pickle man of 57 varieties, -who has just died. lVhen you start out to adTcrtise, select the one thing most Im portant and advertise THAT. Heinz had fifty-seven different things to sell, but his real asset -was HIS NAME HEINZ. Now , that he is dead, his name, because Mt was properly advertised, is worth more in real cash than all his pickle factories, more than all the millions accumulated by him. Let scientific advertising men show you how to make your NAME, which can't burn down or be stolen, worth more than all the rest of your plant Lenine, Bolshevik leader of Rus sia, whose powerful, dark, fanati cally sincere face each intelligent citizen should study, believes that the world would be better off with .money and religion banished. He plans a queer state which he and others will never see. To make money ridiculous, he prints billions of worthless bank notes. The crowds in Russia will still scramble for a real GOLD dollar long after Lenine becomes one of the earth's curious mem ories. i To make religion ridiculous, Lenine digs up bones of saints, revered by the people, burns or scatters them, and asks, "Where now- is the boasted power of these so-called holy relics?" He may burn the bones, but the power is THERE. The reaction aries of France made the same ex periment in a different way. The great Voltaire, who taught Frenchmen to think and be free, was buried properly with great honors in the Pantheon in Paris. Later, in the "hundred -days," when kings were back in France, Voltaire's body was thrown out on waste ground from the place of honor. Doubtless Louis the Eighteenth, pleased with himself, asked, "What now has become of the boasted power of this revolu tionist ?w But kings are gone in France, and the ideas of Voltaire RULE there. The fact that his bones were -scattered did not change that Residents of Shantung, soon to become Japanese, protest Tritterly and justly to the allies and Amer ica againtrEar'rreitmeht The fact is that to oblige a POWER FUL ally, Japan, the allies, 'after all their talk about justice, cut a huge slice, including the grave' of Confucius, from a weak ally, China. It is as though, after accepting the co-operation of the United States in the war, the allies had chopped off a slice of our territory, including Mt Vernon and the ' grave of George Washington, and turned it over to Mexico. Strange are the manifestations of exclusiveness. You have seen it in the club window, where gen tlemen sit and suck the heads of canes, that others, not elected, may gaze upon them. You have seen it in the frantic struggles of women to push or pull themselves into what they call "society." Behold it now in two ladies, Hilda and Sophia Carlson, sisters. They worked for forty years as I cooks, saved seven thousand dol lars. They spent the seven thou sand dollars on a very fine mauso leum, a neat heavy stone mortuary bungalow. Now they are suing their nephew and members of his family to pre vent any of their corpses from get ting into the mausoleum. The sis ters wish to be exclusive in there. The court reserved decision. Eggs were dropped seven hun dred feet from a flying machine; not one was broken. A parachute Irought them softly to the earth from a postoffice machine going seventy miles an hour. In the same way, the scientists tell you, the original egg, or life spark, reached this earth throueh space from other worlds, after this world had become cool enough to let life develop. Through the inconceivable cold of the ether, the ultimate zero in which no heat is, the germs of life could come on this planet still v alive and able to start life here, in its lowest form. That such germs did cpme. car ried perhaps on meteors or other wise, landing in the ocean and de veloping there, is what some of the scientists think. Heat kills life; cold does not in life's lowest forms. Great Britain says she ought to have some of the German ships in terned in' United States harbors. She says she thinks there is more German tonnage here than the amount of tonnage we lost in the war, and some of the German ships should go to her. Just WHY England should have the ships is not made perfectly clear perhaps to the average American. But the eood friend of England can find comfort in the fact that if England thinks she ought to have the ships, she prob ably WILL have them. In di . plomacy and after-the-war en- terprise, England is not inefficient; and not diffident FLIERS PRESIDENT NOT 10 SEE 3RD IBM NEW YORK, May 16. Charles Michelson, in a dispatch from Wash ington to the New York World, says: When he returns to America Pres ident Wilson plans to make a definite and public announcement that under no circumstances will he be a candi date for re-election. He outlined this program to a number of Democratic members of the Foreign Relations and Foreign Affairs Committees on the occasion of the dinner at which he answered questions about the league of na tions. Mystery About Utterances. There has been more or less mys tery about utterances on that occa sion, principally due to the circum stance that his statements about his candidacy were confidential, while-hls replies to the questions concerning the Paris negotiations were meant to be told broadcast. He explained his reasons for not making the announcement at that time. He wanted the undivided at tention and support of the party lead ers for what he regarded as the most vital thing in the modern history of America. He hoped that the personal ambi tions of no Democrat would start cross currents that might develop into rivalries that would distract the energies of the leaders of sentiment.. aji&xonfufe 4he public opinion. Icnve Job to Best Man. -As Jong as there was a possibility of the President's being the candi date, nobody would start campaigns for the other fellows, and the atten tion of the country would remain centered on the big question. At the same time he made them understand that when the time came he would step out of tho war and leave the nomination to the best man. There was some effort to get the President to indicate then who. in his opinion, the best man was. hut ho was not to be cajoled into making a choice that would upset all his calculations regardless of the con fidential character of the conversa tion. League Oppoaltlon Means Fight. When he has presented the treaty to Congress, and the fate of tho League of Nations is behind us in history, the announcement will be made unless the backfire started by the round-robin signers continues to blaze. If the Republican majority in Congress thinks there is political capital in balking the League of Nations, they will be inviting Wood row Wilson to stay in the fight. If he has to go on to the people over the heads of Congress he may be forced to accept the issue, even If it involves hja championing the Idea of the league through the cam paign of 1921. The same mental processes that sent him to Paris to insure the in clusion in the peace of the principles he had announced as the reasons for the United States entering the war. despite the domestic problems and the political exigencies here at home, will make him the candidate if he feels that by making the fight he will win his country's adherence to the league of nations. He is not given to doing his fighting by deputy. Meantime the fight on the league is being carried on. "I cannot comment upon it." was all Secretary Tumulty would say when his attention was called to the above report today. STEAL TRAFFIC SIGNALS. INDIANAPOLIS. May 16.
