DAVIS’ SPEECH PLEASING, BUT TOO MUCH EUROPE IN IT. i Omaha gave itself over on Saturday and Satur day evening to its welcome to John W. Davis, demo cratic candidate for president. This was in keeping with Omaha hospitality. Mr. Davis proved to be a genial gentleman. He has a contagious smile. There is much about him that resembles the old time po litical campaigners. He knows how to shake hands and in answering introductions his “very glad to know you” has a genuine ring to it. The city’s welcome too, was genuine. At the stockvards a big crowd turned out. At the ball game be was the center of pleased attention and at the auditorium he was greeted by as big a crowd as could pack into that old structure. It was just such a welcome as Omaha is pleased to give to its distin guished visitors. Unfortunately it was marred by that false note that shocked the guests at the luncheon at the Fon tenelle on Saturday noon. The reference to the president of the United States by Senator Pitman | as a “mummy” and by former Senator Hitchcock as a “wooden Indian,” was the topic of conversation in many quarters on Sunday. So too, was Mr. Hitchcock’s reference to LaFollette as “an old, de crepit man, whose campaign days are over.” Aside from this faux pas the welcome was genuine. Mr. Davis’ speech on agriculture fell consider ably short of what he had evidently intended. It was a pleasing speech but there was little substance to it. It was made up chiefly of the time-worn doctrine of the democratic party. Mr. Davis had been her alded as a new champion, a new leader. As one who because of his experience and his learning would have not only a comprehensive view of the situation but a different and clear cut remedy based upon facts. Those who went to the auditorium were disap pointed in this. Mr. Davis turned out to be only a replica of all the other democrats who have come to’Omaha, except only that he was a more pleasing personality. OLD TIME DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE. His remedies for agriculture lead off with the two cardinal doctrines of the democratic party • both of which have been repeatedly repudiated by the people of the country. First, he would take a larger “official” part in the affairs of Europe. Sec ond he would “adjust” the tariff for the purpose of restoring a "competitive market.” His other remc djes—lower taxes, lower and adjusted freight rates, early completion of internal waterways, development of water powers, development of co-operative mar keting, extension of credits to the farmers, have all been the subject of action by the republican admin istration. One other remedy, the establishment of an “ex port corporation,” was before the last Congress in the form of the McNary-Haugen bill and the demo crats and LaFollette followers combined to de feat it. Thus his much heralded remedies are found to be all republican remedies with the exception of larger participation, "officially,” in the affairs of Europe and the worn out scheme for a low tariff. The only way to whole heartedly participate “offi cially” in Europe is through the League of Nations. The seven million majority against this democratic proposal in 1920 would seem tn have settled that point. If ever in the history of the country a tariff was needed now would appear to be the time, when most of European labor is working at breadline wages. Mr. Davis referred to the tariff program as the “consistent practice in legislation of giving a delib erate preference as against the farmer to the man ufacturing industries of the country.” In other words, because the farmer has a surplus to sell Mr. Davis would destroy American industry by taking down the tariff and letting in the flood of cheaply made European goods that is even now awaiting I hat opportunity. DID NOT ACTUALLY ANSWER DAWES. The candidate did not have a real answer to Mr. Dawes’ propoial for a sort of “Dawes commission” to investigate the farm problem and instead of dis cussing it on its merits he resorted to sarcasm. He intimated that the report would be years in being prepared, and said “I can even now smell the moth balls.” Ho entirely overlooked the fact that the hist session of Congress passed some 16 laws for the aid of agriculture. He did not mention the fact that the republican administration during the last three and a hnlf years has extended nearly a billion dollars in credits to aid agriculture, chiefly made necessary by the democratic scheme of defla tion. He did not mention the fact that all of the bills for the aid of agriculture for which the farmers asked were passed at the last session of Congress except two, and that both of these wore defeated by the democrats. One of theso bills was for the establishment of a j:xt basis of computing irrigation costs in the great. Irrigation districts. This bill, which President Claol ldgc especially favored was deliberately talked to death by Senator Key Pitman of Nevada, who re ferred to the president as a “mummy” at the noon day luncheon on Saturday. Pitman insisted upon the inclusion in this bill of one of his own pet proj ects. Because it was not there he took up the last hours of the senate session in talking the bill to death. The other bill, not passed, was the McNary Haugen bill. It would have established an “export corporation.” This was killed by a combination of democrats and LaFollette followers. LOCAL POLITICIANS LEAD HIM INTO ERROR. In addition to these oversights in Mr. Davis’ speech he was disingenuous in his reference to the Dawes speech at Lincoln, wherein Mr. Dawes sought to make it plain that the farm problem could only be settled by an economic inquiry that would take into account the fact that the greatest load which agriculture must now carry is the surplus. Industry cannot exist if it persistently, year after year, pro duces a surplus that cannot be disposed of. In dustry deals with this problem by standard business methods, chief of which is a regulation that keeps production within the reasonable limits of demand. It is evident that local democrats, who have not the breadth of view of Mr. Davis, imposed upon him particularly in the matter of Mr. Dawes’ refer ence to irrigation projects. These local democrats have for some days been harping on this particular paragraph in the Dawes speech at Lincoln. There was no particular attention paid to it, so long as local minds played with it, but when it was taken up by Mr. Davis, it is evident that his confessed ig norance of agriculture had gotten him into trouble. Mr. Dawes in discussing the whole farm prob lem, in pointing out that the great question that must be studied was the question of the surplus, re ferred to irrigation projects as complicating this matter of the surplus. He said that a comprehen sive inquiry might find it necessary not only to de vise some businesslike method of regulating produc tion as industry regulates production as a business necessity, but that it might also find that irrigation projects should be regulated. Thus this sophistry of local politicians found its way into the Davis speech. If he listens to the sophistry of local democrats at every point where he makes a speech he will likely find himself in more hot water than he bargained for. IRRIGATIONISTS NEED LOWER COSTS. Those farmers who are living in irrigated dis tricts know that what is needed is to care for the farmers v/ho are now loaded with the excessive bur den of meeting present irrigation costs, instead of opening new irrigation districts, that, in their turn, will also be loaded down. These excessive costs would have been lifted by the proposal of President Coolidge in the last Congress had it not been for the conduct of Senator Pitman, one of Mr. Davis’ chief advisers, in talking it to death. It was evident too, that Mr. Davis has been too long in England. He seems to be more interested in the troubles of Europe than in the problems of the United States. His entire approach to the farm problem is with the European outlook. He spoke of the merchant marine as requiring cargoes “both ways.” The only way to get more cargoes from Europe to the United States is to cut down the tar iff so that cheap breadline European goods can be brought over and sold in that "competitive market” of which Mr. Davis waxes so eloquent. AMERICA WILL CLING TO AMERICAN WAYS. One thing is certain, Mr. Davis, America will never consent to put its industrial workers on the same breadline level as the European workers. One thing more is certain Mr. Davis, if the farmer is ever to find himself working on an American plan, it will be by handling the farm problem as an Amer ican problem not as a European problem. In your address you made no mention of those products of industry that are on the farmer’s free list, and to which The Omaha Bee referred on Sat urday. You made no mention of the 15 laws passed at the suggestion of farm leaders. You did not merition the long list of credits to farmers. You did not refer to those two laws, desired by the farm ers but defeated by democrats. No, your eyes were on Europe Mr. Davis. There are millions of men, women and children starving in Europe. This is regretted by all Americans. The American people, however, do not propose to turn their happy country—now the garden spot of the world—because of republican statesmanship, into a scene of like starvation in response to the sophistry of politicians, nor will they do it even to place you in the presidency, pleasing and genial gentleman though you may be. With Coolidge the American people will continue to keep their eyes on the cash register. It is evi dent that in your analysis you overlook too many facts, the facts that are at your feet. Facts that you seem not to be able to see because your eyes are turned not only to the hills but to Europe. EUROPE LONGS FOR DAVIS’ ELECTION. In this connection it is Interesting to note the recent report of Arthur Sears Henning, Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune. Ho has just returned from Europe. He has talked to European political leaders, read European newspapers. The opinion in Europe as revealed by the European po litical leaders, and as shown in these Europenn news papers—the hope of Europe is that John W. Davis will be elected. In his dispatch to his newspaper Mr. Henning says: “Europe has It on the best authority, It trail spires, that the one hi* outstanding result of the American election la going to l>« the cancellation of the allied war debts by the United States and the entmnee of the United States Into the league of nations—through the front door with full ceremony and the glad hand extended on nil sides ns poor, wnywnrd Uncle Knm la weleomed bark Into gend standing. In International high society.” Europe will be disappointed in this. America will solve its problems on an American basis. If Mr. Davis is to recoup the lost democratic prestige he will have to throw over his European viewpoint. The Montana minister who exhibited n monkey in his pulpit to refute the theory of Darwinism may not know it, but he emphasized hia point by exhibit ing n pair of them. Mars is now hacking away front us, probably because of the spectacle of so many calamity howl ers in n country so full of prosperity and oppor tunity. -t-— Judge Patrick's announced determination to Jail the auto speeders deserve* three rousing cheer* of commendation, and fifteen 'rahs if he doesn’t bark down.

A. — —- _ J Nebraskan* Know the Wizard. Columbus, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Mr. Dawes* mid west opening campaign address at Lincoln brought the I^i Follette. Bryan & Co. string of crafts, which with all sails set, were browsing along serenely on the political main to a complete standstill. His speech had the effect of taking the wind out of their sails, which now, like the sails on a suddenly becalmed sailing vessel, hang limp against the masts. Mr. Dawes' appeal to Nebraska voters on the mprits of the republican party's achievements and his offer ing of common sense methods for the relief of agriculture. Is new in Ne braska politics. It is in sharp con trast with the Bryan stop thief and appeal to prejudice method, by which the Bryan et al., political quacks have for years kept Nebraskans In a stale of political hysteria hunting culprits. For the last 35 years the Bryans have been the mentors In Nebraska politics. With their multitude of Is sues. from 16 to 1 to Brother Charley's gasoline issue, they have kept Ne braskans on a constant lookout and In continual expectancy of the promised wholesome effect of the ltryan dope, seasoned with everything calculated to satisfy the most stale and stubborn mentality, it Is by many Nebraskans, with childlike confi dence in its heralded curative power for every political ill, taken ns the doctors order. In a last desperate effort to oust the republicans and grab, at any cost, the reins of the government, all promises and all remedies for so called better government offered Ne braskans by Bryan and La Follete campaigners, are based on prejudice against the Coolblge republican ad ministration and the well-known fundamental principles of democratic government. Snugly fixed. W- J. alts In his ve hide on his way to the hall of fame. His mind and eye intent on the goal for which he Is striving. Alas! Like the man In the story, riding In his mule cart, holding a hunch of hay tied to a stick, just far enough ahead to tempt the hungry ass to try and reach the coveted morsel, but never getting any nearer to It. Jogging along lazily and disconsolately, a i holy reverie. Curiously, cautiously, hut dmihtlngly. he peaked his long lobes snd heard an unaccustomed voice of cheer.

I! Is reported that Hrj a*l end I i Bullette diplomacy I* making a mean effort to Imve ihe American voters virtually "for U>« occualon,' diafran chise themselves by dividing their vote for presidential electors (popular vote for president and vice president does not elect them), so that neither candidate shall have a majority in the electoral college. Thus leaving the electoral college, or In case of its failure to elect, the irnlted States con gress to choose from the contesting candidates a president and vie* presi dent. The scheme Is said to have In con templation an operation on the Amer ican body politic, which In every sense will rival the operation which gave birth to the league of nations. It involves the reconstruction of the democrat ass. simple In aspect, but far reaching In Its possible effect. If the American voters give the progressive and democratic political doctors the chance, they will try to reverse the donkey's extremities, leav ing his body intact. This, in case of Brother Charley's election to the presidency, "which is believed possi ble” by either the electoral college or the congress, would, "by reason of his hold on his brother's seat," put W. j. on top. It would put the silver tongued orator in a position to direct the course of the ass and the destiny of the nation, terminating, in all probability, in the league of nations retort. G. FOLKEN.

The governor refers continually to “the misuse" of the federal reserve system. But I will send Charlie an acorn for his blind pig if he will point one single violation of the law as enacted and amended and signed "Woodrow Wil son." The law is and was admin istered precisely as written, without violation in letter, word or spirit. It did precisely as Intended by Wood row Wilson, and no man can >ay Woodrow Wilson ever uttered a word but praise for its "Inflation and de flation." The Wilsonian element sat up nights to praise this act of legis lation Warburg and Wilson gave them. They were honest in thinking me crazy for trying to warn them to keep their clothes out of Its machinery. But, alas, as Jerry Howard says: There are a few democrats left to gather up the pieces." J.

I have made an Investiga tion on all the candidates President Coolldge belongs to the Congreg.i tlonal rhurrh. Mr. Davis belong to the Presbyterian church, but attenils the Episcopal church with Mrs. Davis. Senator La Follette belongs to the Episcopal church. Mr. Dawes Is a Presbyterian. Mr Bryan is a Presby. terlan. Mr. Wheeler Is not a church member, but attends the Methodist church with Mra. Wheeler. Person ally, I belong to no church, and have been a democrat all my life and have always voted for W. J. Bryan, but this year I'll have to desert the demo cratic party and cast my vote for Sen ator La Follette. I only wish that I could vote for Charles Br^n along w ith Mr. -I-a Follette, but that Is im possible urtll we get our constitu tion amended to elect our prrsldent by a direct vote.

Mr. Kerlln referred to It as a "Coolldge bouquet,” and we would have worn It had It not been for the fact that a few j; years ago we foreswore decorating our front elevation with buttons, pennants, badges or other trimmings In honor of mere men.

II ' - wheel tax on trucks and busses using our highways for commercial our poses. This is a paramount question and must be taken care of before we can sanction a 2-cent gas tax. The problem Is getting bigger every day and every taxpayer should see that his legislator of every respective dis trict has his attention called to this fact before It becomes chronic. I challenge any man In the state to produce an argument that Justifies using our highways to haul freight and passenger traffic without paying a special wheel tax. I am for better roads all the time and I want them used for what they were Intended for. V. A BRADSHAW. Here You Are, Tom.

That Is left for the democratic mule-headed b ases to fell. I voted for Harding and he died, left Coolidge to oppose the American le gion, put up a tight against rights of our boys that fought for our country, and oppose a bill to keep Japs from' our country; I think instead of him being t’nited States president he should be invited to live in Japan. It's a cinch Coolidge is not for the common people. When It comes to any political party fighting the Ku Klux Klan they are out of their place. They have no more right to abolish the Khtn than the Masons or Elks. Let's vote for the man that Is for law-abiding citizens, regardless of party. 1 will be surprised to see this letter lu print.

X beg to differ with ’Charlie'' Its nature that provides artistic bobs and shingles in the manner of the kiwi of hair, the profile, the shape of the head and neck, and. Mr. Stoltenburg. nature provided humans to artistical lv perform with shears, clippers, marcelling and curling irons, to de velop the most artistic and suited bob or shingle for the individual. Now that s "nature" and Its beau ties. Mr. Stolter.berg evidently has never seen a real bob or shingle, or maybe he wouldn't know what a real one’ is. But, nevertheless, he is tak ing in a lot of territory when he compares the country's feminine sex with tree stumps. I say. I'M admit. ’Charlie," there are wooden heads In all walks of life.
