Dawes Proposes ;> “Dawes Plan” for ;; Farm Problems Economics, Not Politics, Solu tion, Says Nominee; Blames *■ War for Agricultural Depression. (Continued from Pure One.) foreign competition aa the Fordney ^tariff does now. Immigrants Not Factor. “As to restricted immigration, con sidering the two periods of before the War and since the war, the difference in the number of immigrants Is not yet such as to be a real factor in the difference in labor costs. Other rea sons have operated there, Including the proper organization of labor for Its own protection. ‘Fair consideration of all elements in the situation leads one to the con clusion that the great underlying Cause for the recent depression in Agriculture has been the conditions resulting from tho world war. "The recent situation In the Amer ican agricultural industry considered by Itself is somewhat analogous to the European situation in industry at the Inception of the work of the expert committeo on reparations. So great was the necessity for settle ment with Europe facing the abyss that almost any plan'upon which the expert committee could have unani mously agreed might have been tem porarily accepted, for it compelled Eu rope, for the first time, to think in alternatives. Workable Plan Necessary ' “Even an unworkable plan, adopted unanimously at least might have provided the basis of a temporary economic peace. But if, Influenced by nationalistic or political considera tions there had been drawn an un workable plan, because that was the easiest, because upon Its basis the Rationalistic demagogues of the dif ferent countries could have been placated, the peace upon which Eu tops Is about to enter would have been temporary, and the chaos which would have come as a result of the Ihevltable failure of such a plan prob ably would have marked the begin ning of a new dark age for that continent and Its civilization. • ‘‘The worst calamity that could happen to American agriculture at this time Is the adoption of an un workable plan. “The difference between an eco nomic and an unwise political settle ment of what is to be done for Amer ican agriculture, through new legis lation Is the difference between suc cess and failure. There must be most careful consideration of the applica tion of economic principles, and also close calculation of the probable ef fectiveness of any proposed remedy. "The Immediate political exigencies of the great political parties in this campaign would be settled if they could make the American agricultur alist believe In the fulfillment of an unfulfillable promise. But this must (lot be made a matter of political exigency. It must be considered with out prejudice and from every stand point. “After two years of discussion upon this point, a test as extensive as was ever devoted In the United States In the earns space of time, to an economic problem, it is at ptfsent clear that there Is no con census of either agricultural or eco nomic opinion upon any of the pro posed legislative remedies now under consideration. Under such circum stances, the same common sense method of procedure which led to the settlement of the difficulties of Eu rope should he followed In the search for the settlement of the American agricultural problem. Co-operative Marketing. Dawes also discussed the possibili ties of co-operative marketing, de claring that the problems "Involved In co-operative marketing should receive most serious and continuous study to the end that this form of distribu tion may be established on gound line* which ultimately will bring re sults advantageous to the producer.” “The farmers must organize, pre ferably on a commodity basis,” he continued, “for the purpose of Im proving marketing facilities where present costs are burdensome or can be reduced, and what Is of equal im portance for the purpose of collection and prompt dissemination of Informa tion In intelligible form which will aid in the working out of proper seeding apd planting programs." f- ■■■ -.

(Coitimti'ri from Paae One.) for these two young men is either kindness or mercy.” Dr. J. Gordon Bonlne of Cassopolis, Mich., writes that "the people feel that Darrow has tricked the law and that the court has been Imposed upon by a Nletzschean combination," and that, "whether these boys hang or not, this case has been a travesty upon medical testimony and legal pro cedure unless the court has been suf ficiently and fairly Informed." A prominent Chicago doctor, who asked that his name not be used for obvious reasons, hinted that the tes timony of the alienists might be the basis for an investigation by the American Medical society. It was hard to compromise the testimony of the alienists for the state and the alienists for the defense. The cost of the trial to the state and the defense was estimated today at not less than $250,000. The cost to Cook county was approximately $60,000. It was the most costly trial on record for the county where the guilt of the defendants was not In question. What the state fought for was the death penalty—most serious of the penalties that could be inflict ed. Judge Caverly ended his term as chief justice of the criminal court to day. His last act was to discharge the August grand Jury. He will be succeeded by Judge Jacob Hopkins, who becomes chief Justice Monday when the new term of court opens. Between now and September 10, the date when he sentences Leopold anil Loeb, Judge Caverly will be under armed guard. He expects to epend moBt of his time at his hotel on the fashionable north side of Chicago, but may go to a summer resort for a few days after he has reviewed the 2,000 pages of testimony. "This case vhl be Judged according to the law,” Judge Caverly said today, "and not according to outside Inter est." Leopold and Loeb will be cloeely guarded in their ceils. Jail attaches were relieved when the spirits of the young slayers revived. There waa a time during the trial when both youths were despondent and the war den feared they might attempt self destruction.

"As a state we are favored with that greatest of all blessings—an In telligent and tolerant citizenship, a citizenship that believes In the divine right of seif advancement—a citizen ship that teaches loyalty to estab lished government and obedience to the law. It is upon those sterling qualities that we base our material advancement and. provide for the general welfare of all the people, "The government of the state we recognize as a huge business Institu tion, the largest In the common wealth, because It embraces all other industrial activities. We are, there fore, directly Interested In having tho various departments of our state gov ernment managed and maintained In m efficient and economical manner, because, as citizens and taxpayers we must provide every cent of the money that is pair out for their sup port. We must also remember that the same fundamental rules of econ omy that apply to private business should be followed faithfully In con nection with public business. "The only way we can save money as Individuals Is by spending less than we earn, and the only way the state government can hope to reduce taxes to a reasonable and equitable figure Is by making every tax dollar that is expended for public service, purchase 100 cents worth of value. Upon such a promise the republican party of Nebraska Hubmlts Its ease to the decision of the people.” Dawes Greeted by 25,000 on Arrival at Old Home Town Nominee Waves or Tips Hat to Friends in Throng; Girls in White Form Escort. By P. C. POWELL, Staff Correspondent of The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 29.—More than 26,000 persons lined the streets of Lincoln from the Burlington station to the Llndell hotel to see Charles O. Dawes. Streets and buildings were decorated with American flags and huge corn stalks were tied to every telephone and power pole. Dawes’ train arrived on schedule time. The vice presidential candi date stepped from the Pullman followed by Mrs. Dawes. He wore his famous straw hat and was smok ing his ‘‘underslung” pipe. Lincoln Boy Scouts, utilizing their scout staffs, made a pathway through the dense crowd, through which "Hell 'n' Marla” walked to the street. Waves to Friends. As he recognized old acquaintances In the crowd General Dawes waved greetings or tipped his hat If the acquaintance was a woman. Mrs. Dawes was bearing a large bouquet. The republican nominee was usher f... ' ... " == ed Into a car, liberally decorated In the national colore, where Mark W. Woods, chairman of the arrange ments committee; H. E. Sackett, chairman of the republican state com mittee, and A. J. Donohoe, Omaha, awaited him. Several hundred cars joined in the parade to the hotel. The Lincoln High school band and the Elks' band fur nished music. Fifty pretty girls between the age* of 16 and 22 marched behind the Dawes car. They were dressed en tirely in w’hite. Five hundred men bearing large cornstalks were one of the features of the parade. Fife and Drum Corps. The candidate1 and Gen. John J. Pershing, who viewed the procession with friends from a window, waved a greeting to each other. The pair formerly ate at the same 15-cent lunch counter at Lincoln. Dawes was then a struggling young lawyer and Pershing a lieutenant. When the Dawes car reached the Llndell hotel it drew to one side and the guest reviewed the marchers as they passed. Mr. and Mrs. Dawes shook hands with the girl marchers and seemed delighted by the cornstalk bearers. The American Legion fife and drum corps seemed to make a deep impression on General Dawes. After the parade had passed the vice presidential candidate entered the hotel and addressed the throngs from a canopied balcopy. Mrs. Dawes stood by his side. The honored visitor stepped to the railing of the balcony without wait ing for an Introduction. The crowd gave him a frenzied ovation. The candidate delivered a few straight [forward remarks to his audience to whom he reiterated his extemporane ous policy In campaign speeches. The general talk follows: Happiest Years. "I don’t have to tell you how glad I am to return to Lincoln. I spent some of the happiest years of my life In this city and my children were born here. I always looked upon Lincoln as more of a home than any other city where I have lived. "I want to tell you of the speech I am to make tonight. I worked hard er on that speech than on all the other speeches put together. There Is to be no demagoguery In it. It will be Just as I think. “To He Myself.” That Is what the country needs— men who say Just what they think. I want to tell you right now that during the campaign I am going to be myself and do as I think best, no matter what politicians Say. 1 am re ceiving avalanches of advice from them right now. What the politics of this country needs is for men to be themselves and not dodge Issues in fear that some minority organiza tion will do them harm.” The majority of the Nebraska re publican delegates to the national convention were at the train to meet Dawes. One of he first to shake his hand was Adam McMullen, candidate for governor, who will speak on the Dawes program tonight. Bee Want Ada Produce Results. JUST LIKE GOING HOME, DAWES SAYS (Continued from !*««*» One.) really started at Ashland when 50 of his oldest friends, occupying a spe cial car, joined the party. The Gen eral and Mrs. Dawes Immediately left their own Pullman and marched through the train to greet their friends. There were no formalities in this greeting. It was "Hello Jim" or "How are you John?" from one end of the car to the other. Indeed, the Jollity was so great that the partici pants might welt have been univer sity students bound home for a vara tlon. When the general and hie wife returned to their own car their faces beamed happily. "What will become of all this corn?" inquired Dawes as he was riding from the station to the Llndell hotel. He referred to the giant stalks and ears of corn which were used to decorate the line of the parade. "That’s good corn, and I think it is the finest decoration I’ve ever seen but it shouldn’t be wasted. He was assured that the com WKmld be fed to stock at the state college of agriculture. The general was cheered repeated ly during his short speech at the Llndell hotel. He stopped suddenly and said: “I'm much obliged.” This concluded his speech and the crowd cheered harder than ever. It was pleased with this manner of ending the talk. Those close to jhe general noticed, however, that he had be come a bit pale and he later explain ed that h* was slightly Indisposed as a result of having smoked his pipe before breakfast this morning.
