Today Ma Ferguson s Day. To Know Is to Forgive. Young at 102. Politics. By ARTHUR BRISBANE v__-—--s The victory of “Ma” Ferguson in the Texas primaries, and sure to be elected governor, is announced rather too emphatically as “a de feat of the Ku Klux Klan.” The klan did not succeed in de feating Mrs. Ferguson, although it tried hard enough apparently. But fighting an intelligent woman who had for her slogan, “Me for Ma,” was no easy fight. Study “Ma” Fergusin’s intelli gent face, remember in what in tense respect good women are held through the big state of Texas. You will see that the klan “defeat” was a victory for Texas woman hood as much as a klan defeat. Clarence Darrow, able Chicago lawyer, says heredity, wealth and Nietzsche are responsible for the hideous Loeb-Leopold murder, and the young murderers are not re sponsible. Darrow quoted the French, say ing, “Tout savoir, c’est tout par donner.” Which means, “To know all is to forgive alL” Nietzsche is a useful name—as useful as that of satan would have been in good old Puritan days. Then it would have been said the boys had sold their souls to satan. Now it is said they have delivered their intellects to Nietzsche. That philosophical person spent the late years of his life in a mad house, but he never murdered any body, and it is hardly fair to blame the Franks murder on him. True “sporting blood” is shown in heavy betting on the “result” of the Loeb-Leopold murder trial. Betting is a poor substitute for real effort, and who bets that the boys will hang would deserve to lose his money. No one should seek profit in the death even of the vilest human beings. The intense interest in that mur der trial, crowds vainly struggling to get in, mobs demanding the death penalty, all indicate that, as a crowd, we are not so highly civil ized. John A. Stewart, called “grand old man of Wall street,” who knew Abraham Lincoln, and is now head of an important bank, celebrated his 102d birthday yesterday. To us, that seems old. A thousand years hence, 125 will seem young as 60 is now. Men will die out gently, like fading twilight. Mr. Stewart continues living in tellectually young, because he has continued working. Men like trees die at the top. They are all right while the top is green. The political party is on. Mr. Coolidge announces through friends that he will strike out if his op ponents attack him unfairly. Gen eral Da'ves announces that he wants only the votes of people “with common sense.” Only the r '-ording angel knows whether those common sense people would amount to a majority. In the opinion of the old politician, “Coolidge has it on the others.” Dressed in overalls, wear ing an old shirt, a pitchfork in his hand, he is “helping neighbor Ed Blanchard to get in his hay.” It is worth getting hayseed down your neck and a crick in the hack to be photographed “pitching hay.” That photograph will appeal not so much to farmers, who will recog nize instantly that Coolidge pitches a rather light forh'ul. But the hay pitching will immensely impress city flat dwellers. That's the “real thing,” they will say and vote for it. London financiers “hint” that the United States is cool to the big reparations loans. They can do more than “hint” and still keep in side the truth. As much of the United States as has financial com mon sense, is not only cold, but ice cold, freezing cold, toward that loan, or any other loan iti Europe. Big American financiers that would take the European bonds, unload them, pocket their rake off and forget about it, like the bonds well. There is every rea son why they should. But the little investor wouldn’t lend his money to half a dozen in dividuals that had been fighting, hating, squandering their resources for years past. Those citizens won’t invest in foreign securities until they are sure that the fighting and squandering have ended. These bonds will be bought here by big financiers, and little fools. A small American automobile in four hours crossed the desert in which Moses with the Israelites ■wandered for 40 years. A high powered aeroplane ran fly serosa that desert in an hour and a quar ter. Don’t criticize Moses, however, until you learn from him, later, in heaven, just what his plans were. He may have walked his followers around for their own good several years longer than was absolutely necessary. Gnp/rfffht, 1924. Geneva Institute.

By WILL M. MAUPIN. A.*Cook, Neb., Aug. 26.—The Re publican valley 1» expected to harvest a corn crop equal to that of last year, which was Immense. Last year the wheat crop was practically a failure. This year it was a record-breaker. Thin has resulted in better business and a better outlook for the future. In 1923, Chase county shipped out 1,062 carloads of corn. This year the county will ship more than a million bushels of wheat and as much corn as last year. Chase county was organized In 1R64. It has no bonded Indebtedness and one of the lowest tax rates In the state. There Is a splendid county high school at Imperial, and one of the best equipped courthouses In the state. Sherman McCoy, living east of Imperial, raised 54,000 bushels of corn last year. Otto Luhrs of the same neighborhood came In close second with 50.000 bushels. Krotter and Fitzgerald have erected a tabular concrete elevator, 110 feet high with a capacity of 100,000 bushels. Four more units, 60 feet high and of equal diameter are being erected now. There are two other large elevators at Im perial. Banking Prosperity. Imperial owns its own electric light plant, power being generated from Frenchman river, six miles west. Seven beautiful lakes In the county have been made by damming French man river. The lakes are stocked with bass, crappie and catfish. Wauneta and Palisade in Chase country are progressive little cities, A measure of Chase county prosperity is found in the last statement of Wauneta Falls bank, Wauneta. It is one of two banks in town and its de posits are $493,000 with reserve of more than 30 per cent. Other banks In county are in the same splendid condition. The Burlington’s payroll at McCook hsa been a vital factor In the city's history. The city has been enjoying a steady growth. One of the marked features Is the number of homes that have been erected. Among other big improvements during the last few years Is a hotel building, the Key tona. Irrigation Discussion. There is a small irrigated area here and at Culbertson, 12 miles west. Just now the matter of pump Irriga tion Is receiving considerable atten tion. On tha bottom landa of the Republican river there Is said to be a strong underflow, tapped at a shallow depth and lnexhauatible. On the farm of Gerald Wilcox pump lr 4 gat Inn Is used. Power Is supplied from McCook. The pump elevates between 600 and 900 gallons per minute. Ninety acres of corn hava been well Irlgrated In 16 hours con tinuous pumping. A centrifugal pump is installed on the Red Willow county poor farm, which is operated by J. Rowland, chiefly as a truck farm. Pump Irrigation promises to Increase as its beneftti become more widely known. About the only complaint heard la that a wet spring delayed the water melon crop. The only possible dan ger to the corn crop Is a killing frost coming unusually early. If the corn can reach the last week In September without frost Injury the crop Is made. Prosperity Burks Radicals. It must not he gathered from nil those optimistic reports that this sec tion Is reveling In wealth. A bumper wheat crop with satis factory prices have given the farm ers an opportunity of getting square I with the world, stopping Interest, and enabling them to undertake long needed Improvements. But beat of all Is the psychological influenca. Con fidence and renewed faith in their section of the country heve taken the place of doubt and fear. The hanks are feeling a letting up in the strain they have been under for two yeare or more, and merchants are feeling a new business impetus. FIREMEN HERE FROM WEST COAST Jay Stevens. state fire marshal of California, and Thoma* Baird, chief engineer of the Kresno (Cal.) fire de partment, stopped in Omaha Tuesday on their return from the annual con vention for fire department official* at Buffalo.

Jewels Valued at $10,000,000 on Display in St. Louis Hotel By JACK CEJNAR, International Nmi S»r»l« Staff Correspondent. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 2«.—More riches than those of ancient King Croesus were on display here to day in a treasure chamber whose glory radiated from chestfuls of dia monds, emeralds, sapphires, rubles and pearls. In addition to basketfuls of precious gems, there were enough platinum and g*>ld to ransom sev eral kings. The entire treasure, conservatively valued at $10,000,000, was being dis played by 250 exhibitors from all sections of the world, at the open ing of the 19th annual convention at the Hotel Statler of the American National Retail Jewelers' associa tion. Elaborate preparations to protect the precious exhibit from bandits and crooks have been taken. Special po lice squad* have been stationed about the treasure chamber, and there are a number of secret service men pres ent. Many single exhibits are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, such as enormous diamonds and large perfect pearl necklaces. All the glory of King Solomon's Jewelry could not match the display of the diamond and platinum, gem encrusted, latest style ornaments in ear rings, wrist watches, rings, combs and lavaliers. One manufacturer has on display the smallest wrist watch ever made— a dainty little piece no larger than a dime, yet which keeps time with a reliability that puts to shame many Imposing “grandfather" clocks. The vogue in platinum Jewelry Is pronounced, they said. An interesting display exhibit is, side by side, natural and artificial pearls that can not be distinguished. Dawes Day Will Be Homecoming Political Significance of Gen eral's Lincoln Speech Stressed, However. Gould Dietz, chairman of arrange ments for Omaha’s participation in Dawes day at Lincoln Friday, stated :hat the occasion will l>e In the nature of a home coming, although the politi cal slgnficance of the general’s ad dress will not be lost sight of. The enthusiasm of Dietz is observed In his determination to make this oc casion a noteworthy event. He has the hearty backing of Abel V. Shot well, president of the Coolidge-Dawes ■league of Nebraska, and O. E. Engler, county chairman. Mrs. I,. M. Lord, Mrs. T. C. Hyson and other women of the republican county organization are active In en listing a large contingent of women for the special train which will leave [the Burlington station Friday evening at 6:15 and will arrive In Lincoln In time for the Omahans to be seated In the reserved section of the stadium of ths University of Nebraska. | Those who go on the special train will be given tickets entitling them to seats In the Omaha section. "I was just talking to Lincoln over the telephone,” Dietz said, "and they told me that Dawes will begin to speak promptly at R. He will be in troduced by Mark Woods. The Omaha special train will leave within a short time after the Dawes meellng. WOAW, Woodman of the World radio station: WEAF, Kansas City, and KFKK, Hastings, Neb., have been chosen as the stations to broadcast the speech, according to Dietz. Tickets for the Omaha special train may be obtained at republican head quarters, Hotel Home, or at Burling ton ticket offices. New Avoca Postmaster.

HEINZ OVEN-BAKED BEANS with tomato sauce Duncan Outlines “Defense Day” to American I^on World Drifted Six Years on Sea of Economic Storms, Says General—Prepared* ness Only Salvation. By Aimditml Preen. Grand Island, Neb., Aug. 26.—There haa been no great accomplishment for the deliverance of mankind from bondage except through through the blood of men and tears of women— brother arrayed against brother, Gen. George B. Duncan, commander of the Seventh corps area, United States army, declared here today In ad dressing delegates to the annual con vention of the raska department of the American Legion on the sub ject of national defense day. “For nearly six years since the armistice was signed the world has drifted rudderless on the sea of eco nomic storms,’’ General Duncan said. "In Europe fear, suspicion and hatred smother generous Impulses. Material advantage la the guiding star of all Ita nations. "In thlae whirlwind of conflicting emotions and actions at home and abroad I maintain that wars will cease only when men and nations have learned to stifle their prejudices and govern their desires better than they do today. Ancestors Learned to Prepare. Our ancestors learned the lesson that freedom la given only to those who are prepared to fight for It. George Washington, who guided our destinies through the revolution, and who was our first president, found his most difficult task In his efforts to build up the national defense. His deepest fears for the future were ex pressed when he wondered If the American people would fall to profit by their lessons In International af fairs, and if the future would find them continually unprepared." General Duncan quoted Washing ton, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jack son, John Adams and other American patriots in supporting his argument that "defense” Is the only salvation of the nation. It Is popular to say that war shall not come again, the general con tlnued, and that reason will prevail to prevent future conflicts. "No one can desire this dream more than the American Legion and other associations of former service men who best understand the horrors of war and who have suffered Its great est penalties,” he declared. No Cheeking of Industry. "You should resolve to bring again before the people this great dominat ing. appealing cause of national in terest, of individual responsibility, and, lastly, of preparedness. You should arouse our people from their apathy, from the shame If future history repeats out helplessness and lack of preparation to prevent our becoming the vlctlma of our foes. Boys Stage 5 Wild West “Robberies" for Thrills; Posse “Captures” Them v J special Dispatch to The Omaha lice. Guide Rock. Neb , Aug. 26.—The town marshal here, upon receiving report of attempted holdups on the highway west of hers, notified the Webster county sheriff at Red Cloud, and both officials formed posses and proceeded to the place of action where they caught three young sons of John Rickard, prominent farmer, who lives In the vicinity. The boys ranged In age from 13 to 16, and it was found that they had attempted to stop five automobiles. They used their handkerchiefs over their faces, and one of them had an old revolver he had found. They did not shoot at any cars, al though one woman who had been struck on the arm with a clod thrown by the boys, reported to Guide Rock authorities that she had been shot, and the boys stated that it was not their intention to do any harm, but they merely wished to have some ex citement. They intimated they got their Idea from wild west pictures. None of the cars stopped, because they did not have sufficient advance notice and were going at a good rata of speed. Educate all to harken to the teaching of our great leaders of the past and .present. "A Sunday school teacher must require answer from the pupil,” con tinued the general. “The defense test of September 12 has In view the answer from those citizens who have volunteered their services for any na tional emergency, a response of readi ness, and a patriotic showing of faith anil confidence. “There is no mobilization of men, no stopping of any man or woman from his or her pursuit of Industry. It Is a check-up of plans to show their strength or weakness In order that out responsibilities from the peo ple may be shown to all of them.” “We have the opportunity.” Gen eral Duncan said In closing, “to back the preparedness program of our country, to do our part in the pro posed test of our defense plans, Sep tember 12, to combat In season and out of season the vicious propaganda which would make us degenerate into a race of mollycoddles."
