Business Abroad. CITES CHINA LOAN AFFAIR | Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 1.—Charles E. Hughes, in speeches at Jamestown yest:rday assailed the administration for its attitude toward the develop- ment of American business abroad. Mr. Hughes cited the failure of Am- erican bankers to obtain government | support of their plan to participate in the: proposed six-power loan to | China and the administration’s Mexi- | can policy, in support of his attack. “It is said by the administration that they desire to open the door for American enterprise.” Mr. Hughes said. “What is the inducement for our merchants and business men to go to foreign countries and engage in American enterprises if they and their investments are treated as our citizens and their property were permitted to be treated in Mexico?” Loan Very Important. Proposed participation by American bankers in the loan to China was char- acterized by Mr. Hughes as “a matter of great momewrt to the natiqn, be- cause it permitted an opportunity not only to aid China but to facilitate our rade.” . “We lost an important opportun- ity for American trade,” Mr. Hughes said. “l believe that more recently the administration has seen the error that it committeed in this respect, but it has failed to re-establish confi- dence witl. regard to its protection of American, enterprise Mr. Hughes’ assertions were inter- preted by persons in his audiences as being in the nature of a reply to President Wilson's recent declara- tions at Shadow Lawn and before a grain dealers’ convention at Balti- more outlining the administration’s views toward the ‘future development of American trade abroad. Mr. Hughes renewed his attack on the administration for “breken pledges.” Fail to Maintain Rights. “They told us,” he said, “that they were going to maintain the constitu- tional rights of American citizens throughout the world, That they have failed to do, to our great re- gret. “Our opponents have a great deal to say now, as they have said in times past, with regard to the facili- ties for Amevrican enterprise and the principles of American trade. These are matters of the highest importance to all our people and we inquire in order “to'“test” the ' frrofessions and promises that are given with respect to the record made in the past. “Take, for example, the matter of the six-power loan to China. There was an opportunity obtained by which our bankers could share to the ex- tent of one-sixth in this proposed loan. It was a matter of great mo- ment to the nation because it per- mitted not only to aid China but to facilitate our trade. It was import- ant to the nation that we should have trade with China, in the future. Has Seen Its Error. “But when the present administra- tion came into power and these bank- ers asked whether they would have the co-operation and protection of the administration- they . were in-T formed in effect that the administra- tion did not desire to continue. “I believe that more recently the administration has seen the error that it committed in that respect, but it has failed to re-establish confidence with regard to its protec- tion of American enterprises. “We hear a good deal with regard to our relations to Latin-America. Those relations are of the utmost im- portance, they should be based on mutual confidence and everything should be done to bring as into an in- timate exchange of benefits. Rut what was _the action of the adminis- tration with respect to Latin-Amer- ica? It withdrew man after man from the nations in Latifi-America, who was a trained diplomat, in order to supply places and meet the demands of partisan expediency. “We cannot afford in the future to have men of second or third or fourth rate take the place of men who are known to, have had m.ny years of faithful diplomatic experience and to have acquired experience and train- ing of the greatest value to this country. No Line Is Drawn, “There is a very serious side to the Mexican matter. I am Jooking at it for the moment in connection with those promises relating to the expansion and development of Amer- |ican trade. We have heard critcized | those who have taken advantage of opportunities and made investments in Mexico, but I have not discovered | that any line was drawn between the | innocent in permitting our citizens to | be left to the ravages of revolution and perhaps to be destroyed. “If any have forfeited their rights under international law let them be singled out and *dealt with, But I stand here to assert that American trade will not be maintained accord- ing to the ambitions and just aspira- tions of our peopft and we shall not stand before the world as we should with international esteem and the confidence of the nation, unless we protect, at all events, American lives, American property and American commerce, througiout the world.

Lincoln, Oct. 1.—(Special.)—"Ne- braska will give its eight electoral votes for Hughes I am confident,” Chairman Ed Beach of the republican state committee said yesterday after a busy day here Saturday, Mr. Beach was much pleased with the reports he received of conditions in the state yesterday. The state headquarters was crowded during the entire day with county chairmen anxious to report on affairs in their locality, It afforded Mr, Beach a lot of satisfaction. % . “The shoe is on tic other foot this time,” the state chairman declared. “Instead of a divided republican party, it's the democrats who are scrapping now, and republicans and progressives are centered in the supreme effort to replace an inefficient national admin- istration with Charles E. Hughes.” Good News from West. To the casual political observer there is some basis for the republican confidence at the state headquarters. From western Nebraska came the re- port of a very prominent democrat of long standin~ who felt that he could not support the wishy-washy foreign policy of Woodrow Wilson In one locality it was said that Wil- son would receive ofly six of seventy- eight votes in the precinct. . John L. Kennedy is running strong in all sections of the state, is the {report reaching headquarters. “Ken- {nedy will overturn a normal demo- | cratic majority in our county,” one | county worker reported, “and come {out 300 or 400 votes to the good.” Activity to” Begin. Actual campaign activities, with hosts of speakers and a vigorous at- tack on the democratic administra- tion, is to be expected during the coming month. The state committee has reccived assurances that some of | the most powerful republican orators are to devote considerable time to Nebraska, Charles E. Matson is meeting with | much encouragement in his organiza- tion of Hughes clubs over the state. Mr. Matson organized a club at Firth Friday night, a small town in south- ern Lancaster, and started out with seventy members. At Milford over 100 names were signed to the Hughes club roll. Mr. Matson will follow up his organization work with a rally at the state university Monday after- | noon and expects to start an active Hughes club there.

Prison Congress to Open at Buffalo Next Saturday Buffalo, N. Y. Oct. 1.—The Ameri- can Prison association, which has ar- ranged to hold its annual congress in Buffalo, October 7-12, announces that governors of practically all of the states of the union and mayors of many of the large cities have appoint- ed delegates, and the attendance is expected to exceed 500, including prison officials, wardens, physicians, chaplains, officers of reformatories and industrial schools, and others in- terested in prison reform. The congress will concern itself largely with discussions of practical questions, The president, Arthur Pratt, warden of the Utah state prison, will deliver his annual address at the opening session on Saturday night, and during the following days the congress will be addressed by Evangeline C. Booth, commander of the Salvation Army, on “Discharged Prisoners;” by Judge Renwick Rid- dell of Toronto, Canada, on “Crim- inal Prosccution;” by Mrs, Maude Ballington Booth on “Our Prisons and Their Administrators;” possibly by Governor C s S. Whitinan on “Prison Reform;” by John Koren, United States commissioner on the International Prison commission, and by L. W.

Far and away above any show as- semblage of prize winning hogs in this country, the creation of the Na- tional Swine Growers' association bids fair to see new champions estab- lished, which will be leaders in a more national scope than ever before, With breeders flocking into Omaha from every swine raising state in the [union, and considerably more than 1,000 pens arranged for, the Nebraska metropolis for a week, at least, can boast of being the hog show capital of the world, Meeting of Champions. Certainly no hog show ever staged in this country (there have been onl two national shows-—one at the Chi- cago world's fair, and the other at the St. Louis exposition), has attracted as many grand champions of their respective states as the Omaha classic, The most beribboned porkers of practically every breed in every state i the great corn belt are carded to vie with each other here for na- tional honors in Omaha—and breed- ers may lay to this; any hog in their herds capturing a ribbon at the Na- tional Swine Show, is assured of coun- try-wide distinction of a lasting kind. Ranking as the real and recognized market center of the rich corn belt, this city in staging the first national swine show is but heaping on a few more well earned laurels in the live stock line. McCabe Methodist Welcomes Pastor The congregation of the McCabe Methodist Episcopal church wel- comed its new pastor, Rev. L. V, Slocumb, Sunday morning. Rev. Mr, Slocumb outlined plans for the com- ing year in a manner that promises advancement. Continuation of build- ing operations in the spring, the com- pletion of the $75,000 brick church, the enlargement of the scope of ac- tivities and the cementing of fellow- ship bonds were emphasized by Dr. Slocumb, For three years he has been the Methodist pastor at Loup City. He fills the position vacated by Rev. W, | H. Underwood, who has been assign- |ed to the church at Blair, Neb. Dr, Slocumb was introduced to the con- gregation by John Lewis, chairman | of the board of trustees. “Wist ye not that [ must be about KING AK XXl T0 ENTER THE ROYAL CITY THIS WEEK Merry Monarch to Be at the Den Friday Night to Receive His Orown Before His Subjects.

Festive Season Is Here, For the festive season has arrived. For the twenty-second time this an- nual festi.e season of King Ak-Sar- Ben's realm has arrived, and the edict has gone out to all the knights and ladies, eharging them that they lay aside serious duties and disport them- selves for a week-during the days just preceding and just following the / crowning of the king. o On the night following the corona- tion ball, while the decorations in the classical old Den are yet fresh, and the perfume of the night before ‘is {el upon the rich drapings, while the ights are yet hauging in rare and costly clusters, showering their ra. diance to the remotcut recesses of the great hall, a mnsquer?de ball is to be held, o&e]n to the public at $1 per per- son, hile the coronation ball is limited strictly to paid members and Mfi'\? lf.'thfiu jects of the reatm and to the subjects of neighbering realms, Quiet on Jubilee Grounds.
