Dawe3, repub lican candidate for vice president, the west is again introduced to that symbol of its early days, the pipe of peace. It is the Dawes pipe, the pipe that has meant so much to Europe and which has become the world pipe of peace. Those to whom the history of the west is still clear, remember the story of the great peace council held on the bluffs overlooking the Missouri river. The city of Council Bluffs was named to commemorate that great peace council. The pipe of peace was smoked in those days by William Clarke and Merriwetlier Lewis with the great Indian chieftain, Blackbird. The city of Omaha owes its birth to the smoking of a pipe of peace. Logan Fontenelle. chief of the Omaha Indians, ceded the land on which Omaha stands and a concluded the treaty by the smok- , lng of a pipe of peace. The memory of these peace pipes is fresh in the minds of the west. For that reason the new world pipe of peace, the Dawes pipe, is i+f more than usual interest. Until the Dawes peace pipe came to Europe there was no peace. In their efforts to bring peace to Europe there had been tried English pipes, French pipes, Italian pipes and German pipes. None of them had succeeded It was only when Dawes went to Europe with a new pipe that the belligerent nations finally decided that the real peace pipe had ar rived. The Dawes pipe differs from all others and a humorist has said that probably its success in Europe was due to the cooling chamber at the bottom of the pipe. The interest that attaches to Dawes in Omaha today Is thus due not only to his accomplishments In Europe where the Dawes plan Is to be the charter of European recov ery, but also to the famous Dawes pipe, which has become the pipe of peace for the world. Back From Europe. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Flngerlon returned Wednesday from a tour of Europe. They have been gone since June 3. „ — Satin Crepe Dresses Thorne Cash and Carry Specials F-r-i-d-a-y 1650 1850 1975 F. W.
