By MELLIFIOCIA. Friday, April 30, 1915, what unusual situation which stared blandly in the face of one of STRANDI’D in Chicago with just 60 cents in his poeckets is the somo- our well known citizens. This prominent real estate man had just manipulated a $700 000 deal In Omaha and was accompanying his wife and small son a short distance on their way ecast. Because of much persuasion on the part of the small son Mr. P. R. B, " M. decided to go on as far as Chicago. Upon leaving the train at Chicago his wife asked if he had enough money to return home, anticlpating performing the act of the Lady Boun- tiful. “Indeed,” he replied, visions of a particularly fat commission elaiming his attention. He was enjoying the prospect of a few hours in the Windy Uity, when suddenly he discovered he had but 60 cents with which to take in the gay gights. With the spirit of adventure strong upon him, he was loath to part with his little fortune for & telegram home which would bring relfef. As he stood pondering what would be the next development, a hearty “Hello!” from one of his best Omaha friends who chanced to be in Chicago at the same time disturbed his meditations. $1f 3 The Omaha friend wae well supplied with the “long green” medinin of exchange, so Mr. P. R. . M. wag able to return home. ; ' With the Visitors. Mrs. Delworth Osrter of Astoria, I, s the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Eugene of the Informal bridge clubs Friday af- ternoon.

Shaw at Commercial Club Says Opportunity is Ours if We Stop Indictment of Industry. NOT ALL ARE CONSPIRATORS - SATURDAY, Leslie M. Shaw, former governor of Jowa and former secretary of the United States treasury, who ad- dressed the graduates of Creighton university Thursday, speaking at the Commercial club at noon, sald in part: At the close of the civil war the veople of the United States occupled a unique position, They possessed matohless re- sougces ' undeveloped and matchless re- sourcefulhéss undetermined. Wisely or unwisely, the fact exists that for forty yoars dnd ‘over it was the well-nigh con- MAY 1 1915, te o you gratis f you would take it 1t {s worth nothing to the govermment So the road was buflt. Other roads were Lullt. States were carved out of the wilderness, commerce developed and an empire furnishing homes for some mil- lions of peeple, which might be called the Rocky Mountain Empire, was created. Greatness of Nation. “The same rule was applied to various industries, “What have we to show for these forty years of encouragement to busimess Our farma produce more than the farms of any other country on the map; ous mines yield gold annually by the trainload; sil- ver more abundant still, and there is un- londed from railroads and coastwise ships or. the shores of Ohlo alome more iron cre than any other country in the world produces. We cut from our forests 100,- (20,000 feet of lumber every day of the calendar year; our domestic commerce is two and a ‘half times the combined in- ternational commerce of all nations, while our shops and factories turn out more finished products than all the shope and féctories of Great Britaln and Germany and France combined plus §000,000,000 every twelve months, and we pay oul as . |much in wages as all the rest of the world, Of course we might have done better ‘under & policy of restriction and worldwide competition. I am not arguing the question. I am only stating the facts of history. Capital Becomes Arrogant. “But . oapital, = successful = beyond its dreams even, became arrogant, self-as- rertive, domineering and monopolistic, It beeame neceasary therefore to resort to @stipline, and some of the big boys were punished in the presemce of the infant class. This caused all the little fellows to clap their hands in glee until grad- vally it has become & pastime to get after the fellow ‘higher up.’ “Poday, anid especially when the Buro- vean war shall cease—as cease it must We would be tempted to g've it |some time—the people of the United Etates will again oocupy a unique posi- tion. International commerce s now thrown wide open and the most virile people, If they act wisely, will hersafter dominate it. It is for us to determine and to determine quickly, whether we #ill adopt policies and grant encourage- ments gufficient to enable capital and en- terprise to take and maintain an inter national position as far in advance of auything fieretotore enjoyed by any gov- ernment or people as our national growth, developments and commerce transcends anything in history. The opportunity is ours. All needed resources and all need- ful resourcefulness are ours. Money and | brains, the two essentials, are both ours. 't we Comtinue the policy of charging every man who proposes to do something with being a conspirator and every man who bas ddne anything with being & thief, we have probably reached our max- fmum. If, on the contrary, we assume that oapital has learned the Intended and needed lesson, and without apologizing for what has boen done, we lay the rod over the door—it may be well to lst the handle Atick out far enmough so that it can be peen—and hereafter make no reference to past unpleasantnesses, the future of this matchless people is beyond the dream ot the most optimistic.” DR. DAVIS TO ENTERTAIN FOR GRADUATING NURSES Dn Delmer Davis of the staff of Wise Memorial hospitel, will entertain at din-’ mer at the Henshaw Saturday evening in honor of the fourteen young women who have just been graduated from the nurses’ training school of the hospita).
