M|ASMATIC
PESS|M|SM

Lincoln. Neb.. oct. 25.-Former Comp
troIler OF the Currency Charles G.. Dawes
was the storm centre Of a violent debate
at the meeting OF the Nebraska Bankers
Association this afternoon. President
Brown OF the First National Bank Of
Cambridge, Neb., had just concluded an
address in which after picturing the mis-
deeds OF the trusts he had pleaded with
the bankers 10 refuse To longer stand in
the attitude OF a~pologists for every crime
that wealth commits. but to line up with
the people and tight predatory wealth.
Mr.. Dawes took the platform with FIRE
in his eyes. Shaking his fist vigorously
and stamping the floor emphatically with
his light foot. he declared that he was
tired OF hearing such ,"miasmatic pessl-
mism" as that Of the preceding speaker.
'To - with p~latitudes.' he declared and
as ne did SO vigorous Kisses assailed
him. as well as some applause.
Angered still more by the disapproval
shown. he launched forth into a vigorous
defence OF the good corporations. He said
that what was demanded was the solving
of the problem by clcar-headed. right
thinking business men. not by candidates
for office or writer's OF political reforms.
lie said that the stock swindlers were
traceable to the inherent dishonesty Of
the promoters OF the corporations. and
that every man had the opportunity to
protect himself by finding out for himself
what proportion OF the true value OF the
property each share represented.
Mr.. Dawes advised his hearers 10 leave
OF attacking wealth. 10 stop indefinite
criticism. 10 stop fighting Rockefeller.
but 10 pick out specific wrongs and direct
effort 20 their correction. He defended tho
Beef Trust. insisted that trade agree
ments were not inherently wrong. that
the best remedy at present lay In pub
licity and the fixing M Of a formula for
getting az the bottom OF stock prospec-
fuses.
Mr.. Dawes was vigorously called down
~ the hanke-s ono declared that he was
sent out here 70 do what he has done. and
another tainted him with securing the
comptrollership through Wall street inf1-
ences. The meeting broke up in a row.

in the grip Of the striking railroad men and the strike continues to
spread rapidly in all directions. The roads in the Volga region are
at a standstl and today a general strike was proclaimed or the two
remaining lines running out of St Petersburg.
Before tomorrow the capital is expected to be cut off from the
outside world by way of the continent. This will also involve the
