Van Dyke Hits Edison
Says Sliulents Lvam to
Be Men, and Not Cogs
on Value of Colleges
rrlncetnn, N. J., Nov. 21. The
recent criticism of college men by
Thomas A. Kdlson haa brought
forth reply from Dr. Henry Van
llyUe, author and professor of Eng
lish at Princeton university.
"He la right In saying that our
colleges are not what they should
be," said Dr. Van Dyke, "but he h
dead wrong in thinking that lie
could make them to. The very
thing that he blames in them are
best and most hopeful. The object
of a college education la not to en
able a man to make a living, but to
teach him how to enlarge and en
rich his mental and moral life, to
be more of a man, to be a real per-s
son and not a cog in a machine ol
Industry or trade.
"The trouble with Edison's idea
of education la that he merely wants
labor that he ran use In business.
The colleges, at leaet most of them,
want something better, men who
ran use their minds Intelligently
and sympathetically with the larger
purpose of mankind."
Georgia Woman
Is Given Seat
in U. S. Senate
Mrs. V. H. Felton First Wom
an So Honored Term Will
Only Last One Day
87 Years Old.
Washington, Nov. 21. Mrs. W. 11.
Felton of Goorgla took the oXh of
office today as the first woman Unit
ed Ktates senator.
It was true that her term probably
will be for only a day, but the cere
mony crowned with success the ef
forts the 87-year-old lady had made
to "blaze the path for American wom
anhood" in the senate, and it waa
indicated that she would be content to
step aside tomorrow in favor of Wal
ter F. George, who was elected No
vember ? as her successor to fill the
unexpired term of the late Senator
Watson. It was to the vacancy caus
ed by his death that Mrs. Felton was
appointed last September to serve
until the November 4'leetions.
Attracts Ulg Crowd.
That the seating of Mrs. Felton at-
tracteda crowd to the senate which
rivalled that which greeted President
Harding a ahort time before in the
house, where he addressed congress in
joint session. She was at once show
ered with congratulations upon the
signal honor.
VVhen she waa directed to proceed
to the rostrum for the' administering
of the oath of office, her face broke
Into a smile. On the arm of Senator
Harris of Georgia, and lifting her
gown daintily, she walked down the
center aisle and up to the vice presi
dent's desk, where Senator Cummins
of Iow,a, president pro tempore, waa
presiding in the absence of Vice
President Coolldge.
As Henator Cummins motioned for
her to raise her right hand, she ex
hibited her only sign of unmaliarity
with the proceedings, waving her
hand to Mr. Cummins and smiling as
if receiving a similar salute. Senator
Harris nudged her arm, however, and
she then raised it, gazing intently at
Senator Ctimmlne as the oath was de
livered, and giving her .response in a
low voice.
Seating Was Expected.
The seating of Mrs. Felton had been
expected In view of the tacit agree
ment of senate leaders to interpose
no objection In the face of possible J
technical nrecdnta as to hr status
after the, election of November 7 of
her successor. But for a time today
It appeared as though such objection
might be offered and definite assur
ance that the oath would be adminis
tered waa not reached until a delay
of two hours. In fact H was not un
til after President Harding had dcllv

Senator Norrii Propose o
duee rs and Consumers Cor
poration With $100,000,000
Capital to Aid Farmer.
States He Is Republican
By GEORGE F. AtTHIER,
H ashing loa Corraspandeat The Omaha Bet.
Washington, Nov. 21. ((Special
Telegram.)- ,'gaiiizatlon of a huge
government corporation, with a capi
tal of $100,000,00, for the purchase
and sale of farm products la the plan
which Senator Norrls of Nebraska, la
working out for the relief of the farm
ing Industry of the country. He will
shortly Introduce a bill providing
for It.
Senator Norria will offer this plan
aa a method of meeting needs of both
producers and consumers and Its suc
cessful operation will call for en
largement of the number of prodtic
era' assoclatlona and the organization
of "consumers' associations."
While the plan Is revolutionary in
character. Senator Norria saya there
is precedent for it in the organization
of the United States Grain corpora
tlou afLer which thej Norrls aeheme
Is being modeled. The difference will
be that while the grain corporation
coutlned lta operations to purchasing
wheat, the Norria organization would
purchase and sell and export all forma
of farm products, including livestock.
Utile Catch in Merger.
Senator Norrls haa little faith in any
plan being worked as a result of the
proposed merger of the packers in
dealing with sales of products which
would give relief to consumere who
are now compelled to pay tribute to
Innumerable middlemen. He looks
with disfavor upon the proposed
packer merger and says that if they
grow any larger they will control the
country.
By the organization of his corpora
tion he would establish a government
organisation which would be a gigan
tic middleman dealing with the pro
ducer on one hand and with the con
sumer on the other.
The bill is similar to one formerly
introduced by Senator Norrls, but
which waa superseded by an adminis
tration measure sponsored by Senator
Kellogg of Minnesota, which provided
for the extension of life of the War
Finance corporation. Senator Norria
admits thla organization effected re
lief, but says it merely postponed the
day when the farmer would be ruined
by being compelled to meet Impossi
ble obligations. In his Judgment, the
administration plan offered no form
of permanent or constructive relief.
Profits to Middlemen.
The measure is predicated upon the
theory that both producer and con
Burner are frittering their profits in
tributes to middlemen. While the or
ganization of co-operative sales organ
izations among producers enables
them to bargain collectively, it offers
no aid to the consumer who acta in
dividually. Senator Norris antici
pates the consumers will take a leaf
out of the book learned by the pro
ducers and commence to purchase co-

JNow Urged
"Buy Neliraska-Grown Pota
toes" Slogan Sounded at
Farm Association Con
vention by President.
Reclamation Is Discussed
"Buy Nebniaka - grown potatoes
now" was the slogan sounded yester
day afternoon by J. S. Canady of
Mlnden, at the annual convention of
the . Nebraska Farmers Co-operative
Drain and Livestock association, of
which he Is president.
Mr. Canady asserted that his organ
ization went on record In a resolution
a year ago on the subject of promot
ing the use of all Nebraska prodisjta
and at thla time be Is promoting the
native tuber.
The Mlnden man referred to the rec
lamation project which la being in
vestigated by government engineers.
It is proposed to tap the Platte river
at a point near Gothenburg and also
near Lexington, bringing the ditches
together near Holdrege and then go
ing through Kearney and Adams
counties, with laterals to the north
part of Franklin county. It la esti
mated that thla would benefit 600,000
acres of land by supplementing rain
fall. Near Elmwood the engineers
have located a site for a natural reser
voir of nearly 9,000 acres.
World Wheat Crop Short,
On a 20-year basis it is estimated
that the project Would cost the land
owners $2.B0 per year., Mr. Canady
stated that the food waters of the
Platte would furnish "enough 'water to
serve thla area for 10 months of the
year.
The principal speaker yesterday
afternoon' was Mark W. Pickell of
Chicago, known as a grain slatls
tican. .
"The grain situation thfa year In
the united States shows a normal sup
ply of wheat, although the world crop
is short. The corn supply m 102 per
cent of normal as against 113 per
cent lost year," said Mr. Pickell.
"Many farmers are disgusted with
prices received for corn during the
lest two years and they are deter
mined to reduce the acreage. The oat
supply la below normal.
"The coet of living is rising, due to
the fact that interest rates are low
and gold reserves are high and ad
vance orders increasing. These con
ditions in the past have meant con
tinued rise in grain prices in the
spring."
I rges Accounting System.
F. W. Betts cf Chicago spoke on
"Proper and Adequate Accounting."
He urged flystem In keeping an ac
count from day to day, accounts that
will properly reveal the status of the
business.
M. L. Crandell of Nebraska City
stated that Omaha Grain exchange
lias done great things for the In
terests of the grain and livestock
men and the firm managers, lie made
special reference to the excellent
service of the grain exchange radle
broadcasting station, WAAW.
C. Vincent, speaking for the Omaha
grain exchange, said:
"The Omaha grain exchange will
cooperate to make your business
prosperous and to help build up
Omaha and the state."

Marine Aid
Advocated
by Harding
Proident Address CongrcM
Atking Constructive Legis
lation for Ilciicfit of
All the People.
Would Reduce Expense
(Full text of Preaklrnt Harding"
address lo rongnwa villi be found oil
page four.) N
Washington, Nov. 21. President
Harding, in an, address today to a
Joint session of congress, urged speedy
enactment of the adinlnluratioira
shipping bill as a means of cutting
down present losses through opera
tion of government ships and putting
America at the forefront "in the
peace triumphs on the seas of the
world."
At the very outset of the 30 minute
speech, which was heard with tha
closest attention, the president frank,
ly declared that those standing with
him might as well recognize that
there waa "divided opinion and deter,
mined opposition." H would be help
ful til clearing the atmosphere to
start Willi the recognition of thla fact.
Benefit of All.
With great emphasia the president
challenged "every insinuation" that
tha bill was framed for the benefit
"of favored interest" or for the eti
lichment of the special few at tho c.
pense of tho public treasury. He dc.
elated that first of all he waa append
ing to save the treasury.
Calling attention to tho hostility In
the popular mind, "tho word subsidy
stressed," he said, "that government
aid would he a fairer term than sub
sidy in defining" what he was e-k-Ing
to do for the upbuilding of tb
American nerchant marine.
"But call It 'subsidy' since there nro
those who prefer to appeal to mis
taken prejudice, rather than make
frank and logical arguments," he said.
"We might so call the annual loss of
$50,000,000 which we are paying iiomt
without protest by those who most
abhor: we might as well call that
'subsidy.' If so, I am proposing to
cut it in half, approximately."
Three Courses 0en.
Discussing the problem confront
ing congress, the president outlined
three courses of action. The first,
he said, was' constructive which em
braced passage of the bill; second,
obstructive continued ' government
operation and attending government
losses and third, destructive involv
Ing the sacrifice and scrapping of the
merchant fleet.
"I have came to urge tho construc
tive alternative, to reassert an Amer
ican right," he said, which brought
the applause first during the delivery
of the speech.
The next applause greeted the
president's declaration that be re
joiced that higher standards for labor
on American shifts had been es
tablished and merest Justice suggested
that "when congress fixes these
standards, it is fair to extend gov
eminent aid in maintaining them until
our shipping lines are so firmly es
tablished that they can face world
competition alone." The farm bloc,
including members on the democratic
side, applauded again when the presi
dent said credit systems under gov
ernment provision and control must.
