(Special.) A plea against class strife and agitation and for the mutual recognition of diverse economic interests is voiced by Governor McKelvie in his proc lamation calling for the observance of Monday, September 6, as Labor day. . v The governor says: I "I am pleased to call attention to Labor day, Monday, September 6. This is a legal holiday and should be fittingly observed. "Labor is one of the essential components of an economic union which may be aptly compared to the urtion of states. It has certain priv ileges and rights that must not be abridged, but it must act in con sonance and harmony with the com mon welfare. It cannot withdraw from the union, neither can it stand alone. he principle of an indosolute union among the states has been sd long established that no one would question it. The same will be ulti mately true of the economic union. When this comes about it will be recognized that-the interests pf the whole people are paramount to those of any 'section, faction, class or gronp, that the force of law is more just and equitable than the force of arms and that co-operation is far more productive of benefits than agitation and strife. ; "I am deeply grateful that labor conditions inj Nebraska during the past year have partaken so liberaly of peace and prosperity. Employe and employer have settled their dif ferences amicably thus producing the minimum of inconveniences and loss to the public. This is at is should be and it makes Labor day this year an , especial occasion for rejoicing ' and celebration. ."Therefore, I, Samuel McKelvie, governor of the state of Nebraska, do hereby declare and proclaim Monday, September 6, a legal holi day and recommend that it be so observed by all the people and the departments of the state.

The total resources and liabili ties when compared with the 1919 report show an increase of $12,161, 277.84, or 18 per cent. uovernment, state and munici pal securities show a large decrease, indicating that the stringency has caused the associations to part with large blocks of those securities in order to accommodate the demands of their customers. "The year's activities of the associ ations as shown by receipts and dis bursements show an increase of ap proximately 50 per cent over those of the 1919 report and reflects in a way the increased valuations and larger loan operations. ' Stock and dividend withdrawals have been large and show an increase of 30 per cent, but this does not equal the gain in receipts for stock account which show a gain of 41 per cent over the previous year. The entire report is an indication of thrift and shows that the patrons of these associations have added to their deposits during the year the sum of $11,763,505.32.

'So far no neighbors are coming what shall I do?' she asked me. "She wanted me to go, but I didn't want to. She offered to take respon sibility for the killing. "I didn't want to leave her there alone with the body, though, so I helped pack in into the trunk and then we carried the trunk upstairs to the Nott apartment." , Hit Him With Pipe. . Describing the murder, Wade, ac cording to the stenographic report, entered as evidence, said he first struck Nott with, the pipe as he lay in bed; that Nott jumped up and they grappled. Wade then shot at Nott, but missed, and thev rolled down-one flight of stairs together. On the first landine Wade shot again three times while he beat Nott over the head. Medical Examiner Samuel Gar- lick tstified that Nott could not have struggled down the stairs as alleged in Wade's story. He said that Nott had been deprived of fighting strength by a blow before he got out of bed. He also said that more than one knife was used. After feading police statements, Mrs. Nott was again called to, the stand. She was a somber little fie- ure, clad in a tailored suit of dark. T .! t.

She testified that today was her wedding anniversary, she having married Nott 14 years ago. She said she had seen the knife pre viously referred to "on the ice chest;" also, that she recognized the revolver, the lead pipe she refused to identify on advice of counsel. It is said that Wade will plead insanity. He also is attempting to introduce a suggestion that Nott threatened to "get" him. .According to a statement previ ously dictated to a stenographer by Mrs. Nott, Johnson had nothing to do with the murder, other than ac companying Wade to fhe , house. Today's testimony brought out the fact that it was Johnson who first told of two trunks figuring in the crime. One, used for a blind, was taken to the home of Mrs. Dolly Downing at 1081 Stratford avenue, at the same time the murder trunk was being carr.ied to the swamp.

In view of the fact that Amer ica's part in the war was of short duration, and did not compare in magnitude with that of the nations which were engaged in the war from the beginning, this is regarded as proof of the colossal disregard 'of the interests of this country in the expenditure of these vast sums. Events Show Dangers. "Recent" European events have shown the absurdity and dangers of the proposed centralized world gov ernment. "As this has been very definitely and clearly made the issue, both by the presidential and senatorial can didates, the result will undoubtedly be the election of the republican tic ket. This is emphasized on the Pa cific coast by various international questions in which that coast is par-, ticularly interested, such as alien ownership of land, Oriental immi gration, control of wnich our peo ple are determined to keep in the American government and to deny to any league of nations participa tion in their settlement."

W n 1! - am uemuciauu ianuiudie uuu tinues Attack, Against Re publican Campaign Fund. Milwaukee, Sept. 4. The direct charge that Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican national commit tee, had "deliberately perpetrated a falsehood under oath" at Chicago in denying statements regarding a campaign quota list was made today by Governor Cox, democratic presi dential candidate, in his address at the state fair grounds. "I charge that there is a quota," said Governor Cox, referring to the senate committee's investigation. "And I charge, that Mr. Hays de liberately perpetrated a falsehood under oath when he said there was uot a quota." Governor Cox also declared tnai conferences scheduled at Marion, O., between Senator Harding, the re publican candidate and members of the republica ways and means com mittee had been called off because he, Governor Cox, had "exposed the plot to buy the presidency." The governor's declarations came as the climax of his fair grounds speech, but in a clamor which made them almost indistinguishable except to those nearby. The, soeech was interrupted by cries from parts of the crowd which could not hear the candidate. The governor was forced to cut his speech short on the brief reference to Mr. Hays and the Marion confer ence. The interruptions began while the speaker was discussing the league of nations. i In his statements supporting tne . eaeue Governor Cox Quoted from former President Roosevelt's Nobel peace prize oration, in which Mr. Roosevelt advocated a league for world peace.
