(Confln ipil from page determined and honest men always re sort in trouble, when only common sense will point the way out of the morass. Price Rise Does Not Solve Problem. But even then the desire for quick action to relieve an intolerable condi tion was something of an obstacle to the proper consideration of all the elements of this great national ques tion. It was inevitable that a tend ency existed to overemphasize the adverse effect of existing legislation, framed under a general national pol icy of protection of labor and man a factoring, upon the exchangeable val ue of farm products, and to somewhat minimize the consideration of the op ■I eration of the law of supply and de tnand which. In the course of a few weeks, has brought the agricultural Industry a substantial measure of re lief. But the present improvement In the agricultural Industry makes pos sible that discussion of constructive steps, which should he taken In a way In which all relevant facts and condltlone can have their proper re lation to a proper conclusion. The man who regards the present rise In prices of agricultural products as In itself constituting tho whole answer to the case which the farmer presented 90 days ago, is as wrong ns the proponents of remedial legisla tion who would claim that legislation constituted the only nriswer. The recent eltuatlon In the Ameri can agricultural Industry, considered bj Itself, ts somewhat analogous to the European situation In Industry at the Inception of the work of the ex pert committee on reparations. Ho great was the necessity for settle ment, with Europe facing the abyss, that almost any plan upon which the ---1 expert committee could have unani mously agreed, might have been temporarily accepted, for It then com pelled Europe, for the first time, to think in alternatives. Even an un workable plan, adopted unanimously, at least might have provided the basis of a temporary economic peace. But If, Influenced by nationalist* or politi cal considerations, there had been drawn an unworkable plan, because that was the easiest, because upon Its basis the nationalistic demagogues of the different countries could have been placated—the peace upon which Europe In about to enter would have been hut temporary, and the chars which would have coins as a result of the inevitable failure of such a plan would probably have marked the beginning of a new dark age for that continent and its civilization. Unworkable Plan Worst Calamity. The worst calamity that could hap pen to American agriculture at this time Is the adoption of an unworkable plan. The difference between an economic and nn unwise political settlement of what Is to be done for American agri culture through new legislation, Is the difference between success and fail ure. There must he careful consider atlon of the application of economic principles, and close calculation of the probable effectiveness of any| proposed remedy. The Immediate political exigencies of the great politi cal parties In this rampnign would be settled If they could make the American agriculturist believe In the fulfillment of an unfulflllable promise. But this must not be made a matter of political exigency. It must be considered without prejudice and from every standpoint. After two years of discussion upon this subject, 11s extensive as was ever devoted in the United States In the sntne space of time, to an economic problem, It is at present clear that there Is no consensus of either ngrl cultural or economic opinion upon any of the proposed legislative rem edies now under consideration. Un der such circumstances, the same common sense method of procedure which led to the settlement of the difficulties of Europe should be fol lowed In the search for the settle ment of the American agricultural problem.

The center picture is a cross section of the crowd of 25,000 which formed a lane of humanity through which the Dawes automobile passed. It was taken just after the gen eral dismounted. This section of the crowd swarmed about the automobile in an effort to shake the hand of the man whose reparation plan in Europe is ratified and about to be signed. To the right and above at the left are pictures which show the famous Dawes “pipe of peace” in action. T. J. (Tony) Donahce, railroad man andJeader in Omaha organ j ized labor circles, is shown with the general also puffing away on a Dawes pipe—and incidentally on Dawes tobacco. Shown in two of the pictures with Dawes is H. E. Sackett, chairman of the state republican committee. The other pictures show parts of the parade accorded Dawes, the escort of girls attired in pure white appearing about the Dawes car. The pictures were taken by Louis R. Bostwick. The pictures were brought to Omaha from Lincoln in a Big Six Studebaker driven by Bert Kessler of the local Studebaker branch. Mr. Kessler received the pictures in Lincoln at 11:10 a. m. He reached the office of The Omaha Bee at 12:35 p. m. His time for the 68 miles was one hour and 25 minutes. It was a record run and an excellent testimonial of the dependability of the Studebaker. The run is all the more remarkable since the road was heavy with traffic. In addi tion, it took Kessler 15 minutes to-go through the city of Lin coln and Havelock and another 10 minutes to thread his way through Omaha from Center street to The Bee office. On the open road the big Studebaker, which was a stock model taken directly off the floor of the Studebaker Omaha branch, clipped off speed that would have been a credit to a specially designed racing machine. The Studebaker and driver were furnished for the use of The Omaha Bee by Manager Hall of the Omaha distrib utors for Studebaker. Dawes Nomination Advances Interest of Farmer—Woods Nominee Welcomed as “Old Neighbor" by Lincoln Man; Praises His Ac complishments. Lincoln Aug. 29.—Introducing Gen Charles G. Dawes, republican vice presidential candidate, to a vast run' ence in the University of Nebraak stadium, Friday, August 29. Mark W. Woods of Lincoln, lifetime friend of General Dawes, said: "This Is a momentous occasion, for tonight In sll parts of the United States, snd particularly throughout the' Mississippi valley and west. 10, 000.000 people and more will listen eagerly with deep confidence and re sponslve hearts to the expressions of our distinguished guest. "It Is significant thst Genera! Dawes selected this city as the place to formally open the campaign, it was the Nebrnska delegation a- ting as a unit, like the leaven of the para ble, thnt caused the republican coil ventlon to nominate General Dawes practically by acclamation, though be had not been known as a candidate Recognising hla broad service to agri culture In paving the way to the opening of foreign markets, snd knowing his attitude toward the va<* region where agriculture Is the chief Industry, the Nebrnska delegation readily enlisted the cooperation of the representatives of 13 agricultural states and swept the convention with the name of Dawes as the next in line to the president. Regarded as Old Neighbor. "So we are doubly^ proud on this occasion, for we have, through the nomination of General Dnwes. given to the republican party a candidate of world wide distinction nnd have made posalhle the official service of this gifted man to the nation for a period of years, snd w* have tre mendously advanced the Interests of agriculture—the nation's basic Indus try, "To nil Nebraskans, and especially I Lincoln reeiilents, our guest is re- < garded ns an old neighbor nnd c* teemed ns only old neighbors and old friends ratj be esteemed. It was in < this city that he began as a youn ■ [ nan. without business < xper.cnce r.r , without money, to build hla tVvtum in the busin ■ world. The fir his i»ei'' Impressed at once upon the community. T"hre' phases of his character were quickly ) recogniz'd as dominant—sterling honesty, untiring energy and clear vision. And all through his life, in | whatever capacity he has served, these three factors have been out standing. "We love Charlie Dawes In Lincoln because his Is the kind of personality that wins affection, as It wins afi miration and confidence, and It Isl gratifying to those of us who came ‘ to know him so well in thf .ie try ’-:-, years of his early life here, v her,1 drouth, discouragement and p;.t»i< • were rife, that the people of the na ’ tion—the people of all nations—as they have learned his character and ■ observed his performances, hold him I in this same regard. That Is the true test of a man. Famed Confidence of AO. "Step by etep our old neighbor has advanced to high levels In business. In public affairs and In philanthropy. From the very outset he d.splayed rare ability and applied the kind of thought and action that was adapt able to the solution of current prob leme. He has nil along been far seeing, but never visionary, ills pro posals have Invariably been usable when expressed. "In business and finance General Dawes ss earned the confidence and respect of all business men of his time. He has grown to he one of the most powerful and constructive fac tors In this sphere, with his unflinch ing Integrity the dominating charge terlstlc. However extensive or ur gent the requirements of his business affairs he has responded willingly and often, and usually at great sactlflce t i every public call where his services were needed. He has revealed through all these years the higher type of American citizenship "As a philanthropist General Dawes has been generous to a remarkable degree and has organized his efforts In this particular direction In order that the benefits might be far reach Ing and permanent and accrue to the largest number of those In need As In every activity In which General Dawes has engaged, his phllanthrop\ has been entirely constructive In every respect "Under four presidents General Dawes has served his country. As comptroller of the currency, appoint ed by President McKinley in his first I dministration, Mr. Dawes exerted an Ifiurnco over the financial policies Inf his country of enduring value When assigned the task of co-ordinat ing the American expeditionary forces in Fro nee under President Wil •on, he displayed matchless genius and organized with well nigh super human grasp the situation which made possible, speedily and finally, the successful termination of the world war. "As director of th« budget, ap pointed by President Harding, he placed the operation of governmental affairs on a business basis. He checked the annual waste' of millions of dollars and at the same time in * rrre ter efficiency in the vari ous departments. The more recen* achievement of General Itawin, as the head of the reparations committee, appointed by President Coolldge, will stand through the agae as one of the world s greatest accomplishments for It places a war-torn world again on a basis of trade Intercourse, which makes possible the peace and pros perity of all nations and furnishes the practical means for the liquida tion of the staggering war debts of the European countries, fnquestlon- i ally the adoption of the Dawes' plan 'S placed the whole business struc ture of America and Europe at once upon n sound and progressive tufsis. “General Dawes was designated re rentlv by a publisher of one of America's oldest and foremost agri cultural magazines as 'The most con ... - ^ "J ®-* structlve man of the age.’ an expre' sion in which we concur enthusiast!' - ally and to the fullest extent. "I believe that General Dawes is the man of the hour and that hie selection as the vice presidential candidate is one of the most important acts of the republican party in all of its history for the country is in need of a con structive, fearless and forceful mind to aid the president In restoring equity in our agricultural. Industrial and commercial affairs. General Dawes Is the staunch friend of agriculture, as he is the friend of labor and the friend of business. He is opposed to the framing of laws or policies that will array one against the ether. He recognizes, as we all should recog nize. that the security of our people rests in a community of interests, in which our whole economic structure may advance and prosper. General Dawes, more than any other man In public life, knows the conditions throughout the United States and the world at large. He Is In no sense a sectional man. Ho knows that the great fundamental industry is agri culture andthat agriculture must be fostered or all lines of business muse be adversely affected. Pr-ai-es g. o. P.

May I add to this compelling expression of this noted writer that I just as firmly believe that God raised up Charles G. Dawes to settle the re parations question and have a r a; r part in placing the world on s hisi.i of security and insure the advance ment of Christian civilization. “We may look hack through the receding decades and study the great men named for president and vice president, but we will search In vain ror a combination of comparable ttrength to that which !s presented by :he republican party In this campaign n President Cooiidge and General ‘awes And as this campaign prog -esses there will become more posi. tvely evident an Inclination among nen and women of all political parties o stand with them and thus s.«fe sunrd our nations welfare at this •ritical period in the world’s histoiy “i-adies and gentlemen.
