LESSON OF TWO YEARS AGO Seattle, Wash,, Oct. 8—Warning that the United States is enjoying only a transient prosperity, based upon the temporary necessities of war and that with the end of the European conflict stored goods from European factories will come down upon our industries “as the flood upon Johnstown,” was sounded by Charles W. Fairbanks, republican candidate for vice president, in an address here tonight. Mr, Fairbanks made a plea for the election of Charles Evans Hughes and pledged a tariff that would “prevent ruin.” The address was said by Mr. Fair- banks' associates to be the most im- portant of his western tour, It was called the “big tariff speech” by mem- bers of the Fairbanks party. . country to thoughtfully figure out for Sennofo;.;(ill.e:'fl;’;:z:i:::; e lhpn:uclvu whllt1 will }:lith deadly cer- % 2 s - | tainty recur when the armies now lican nominee for uenlggr.dlnd a fohr- fighting in the trenches are mustered :::',PTOITC?IV,‘;‘ P;fllde “T'"F‘, € in the factories of Europe beside that blnk:“'He.:ry(lZ ;Jod‘;:fdc rerfibli::’r; new industrial army of women, chil- i i el indpfarm . dren and hitherto untrained workers et i Iu‘der hs o of tlfe now in the factories.

Gustavus A. Hulbert, pastor of St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church preached at the Calvary Bap- tist church. “The problem of liquor is a terrible one,” he said. “I know two noble mothers who died, heartbroken, not | long ago, and shortly after them their sons died in the most horrible, devil- ish bebauches imaginable. “When a man has an important piece of work to do he needs to have the best tools. In a great naval fight the admiral needs to have the best ships. e “In the fight which we are waging this fall against liquor our greatest and all-powerful weapon is the spirit of Christ. “There is a lot of cheap talk nowa- days about the decadence of the church. But the fact remains that it is the wellspring of our civilization, the great underlying power of all good. Education Powerless, “Some would have you believe that education is the foundation of the great things of today. But education alone is powerless. I knew a pro- resident of the col- ege and burned down one of the col- lege buildings. He was a very edu- cated man, but that didn't make him a good citizen. g “I was a delegate to the National Conference of Charities and Correc- tion in Boston. For several years they had not asked the churches to join in their work. So I asked one of the officers why they had decided to inyite the churches. And he told me that they had found that their work was powerless without the spiritual element. “The strongest nations, the greatest heroes among men in ah uges, have been men ang women with the spirit of Christ. g “I consider myself a good citizen if I don't take from my neighbor what is his, but Christ says, ‘If anyone ask for thy coat, give him thy cloak also.' I may consider myself a good father if 1 take care of my own child, but Christ commands us to help tHe other children. i “So, in the fight to make Nebraska dry, our great leader is Christ and ot ‘mad’ at the Thirty-Six Local Preachers Use JUSTICE CLARKE TO TAKE OATH TODAY Supreme Court Begins Fall Term With Many Important Cases on Its Docket. YEAR BEHIND IN WORK Washington, Oct. 8—Reception of a new associate justice, John Clarke of Cleveland, 0., adds unusual ceremony, observing century-old precedent, in the opening tamorrow of the 1916-17 term orlhe supreme court. A full bench for the first time in almost a year will sit to hear an array of cases of national and international importance. Justice Clarke was ap- pomnted last summer to succeed former Justice Hughes, The new as- sociate justice, the third appointed by President Wilson, was formerly fed- eral district judge in Ohio and will take his oath of office tomorrow. He will be seated at the extreme left of Chief Justice White. ’ No opinions are to be given tomor- row by the court. The first decisions are expected next Monday. In the absence of President Wilson from Washington, the justices will forego their usual visit to the White House to notify the chief executive that the court has reassembled, Motions, however, will be received tomorrow and arguments will begin Tuesday on many cases specially assigned for im- mediate hearing. Seven Elundnd Cases. More than 700 cases await disposi- tion. About 200 have been filed since court adjourned last June. Many gov- ernment anti-trust dissolution suits under the Sherman law, entailing probahle new interpretations of that act, are to be argued during the com- ing term. Of first importance among them are the government's suits against the so-called Harvester, Steel, Coal, Moving Picture, Kodak, Bill- Posters, Shoe Machinery and Great Lakes Towboat “trusts.” Argument is expected during the week on the first of these—the ?;deral attack against the alleged anthracite monopoly of the Reading, Lehigh Valley, Central of New Jersey and other railroads. The government lost the cases in the lower court, as it did the dissolution suit against the United States 'Steel Corporation, which will be reviewed later. The anti-trust suit against the In- ternational Harvester company, is to be reargued. Other important cases set for reargument are to test consti- tutionality of the Webb-Kenyon liquor law, the migratory bird act; the Underwood tariff act's clause giving 5 per cent discount on merchandise imported in Amerigan vessels under the “most favored nation" treaty provisions, involving refund claims of | the Hepburn, $26,000,000; Oregon laws providing for a min.mum wage for women and a ten-hour day for men; a Louisville, Ky., ordinance segregating blacks an whites, and the Mann “white slave” act as to its application to cases hav- ing no element of commercialized vice, This latter question is raised in the celebrated Diggs-Caminetti case. War Cases to Come Up. Europe's war also has brought new questions before the court. The first is over possession of the British liner Appam, brought into Norfolk by a German prize crew and ordered by Federal Judge Waddill returned to H, | the British owners. Other important questions to be passed upon are suits from West Vir- ginia and Utah, challenging legality of the United Mine Workers’ organi- zation; Blue Sky laws of Ohio, Michi- | gan and South Dakota designed to protect investigators from “wild cat” securities; interpretations of the in- come tax law; validity of the North Carolina liquor and Alabama do- mestic corporation tax laws; prosecu- tion of the United State District At- torney H. Snowden Marshall of New York for alleged contempt of a con- gressional investigating committee; federal water power rights on public lands; railroad land grants in Oregon and California, and numerous railroad cases_entailing further application of commodities clause, employers’ liability and other acts af- fecting common carriers as well as intrastate and interstate rate regula- tion. A case of special interest to rail- roads, to be reargued, is over the so- called “railway mail pa{ adviser” suits, to determine a basis for comput- ing compensation for transportation of mails. The court now has under advise- ment, with decisions expected shortly, cases testing constitutionality, for the first time, of workmen’s compensation laws, and their application, of Wash- ington, New York, Jowa and New Jersey. Court Year Behind. While the court opens its new term with more than 700 cases upon its docket, and approximately one year behind in its work, much greater speed in disposing of cases is ex- ected. A new law enacted just be- ore congress adjourned, it is believed, will reduce the number of cases heard by the court by from 25 to 33 per cent. This law will cut off appeals in bank- ruptcy, employers’ liability and cases from the Philippines together with many from state courts, except with consent_of the higher court, instead of at the option of the lower court or litigants as at present. It does not, however, curb the court’s power to order review of any case. The new law also adds another week to the supreme court term, requiring that it convene the first instead of the second Monday in October, and limits filing of appeals to the high court to three months instead of allowing two years, as at present, LUTHERANS STAND AGAINST PROHIBS Synod in Session at Arlington Adopts Expression of the Church’s Position. PRAISE FOR PROFESSORS Arlington, Neb., Oct. 5.—(Special.) —Yesterday’s session oi the Ne- braska convention of Lutherans af- filiated with the Missouri synod, being held here,- October 4 to 10, in the country parish of St. Paul's church, was made memorable by the celebra- tion of a triple sliver jubilee. The 30,000 communicant members of the synod in this state remembered that three of their professors of the Luth- eran Teachers’ seminary at Seward have finished a twenty-five years’ service as pastors, teachers and pro- fessors, namely Profs. A. Schuelke, F. B. Fehner, K. Haase. One of the speakers at the evening service said in part: “Christian teachers in common or higher institutions of learning do more effective work in preserving peace to our country than congress could do by an appropriation of $800,- 000,000. By military preparedness the heart of man is not changed, which is by namre}'nclined to general strife, envy and war. But by the gospel as a means of training such citizens are trained, who not only love their coun- try, but who lead a qujet, peaceable and decent life and who are the chief support of a nation’s liberty, prosper- ity and welfare. A professor’'s work does not strike the public eye, because it is chiefly a work in seclusion, in the school room and the study. But your work is remembered every Sunday ir the common prayer by over 1,000,000 Lutherans, and before the tribunal of the Almighty on judgment day yours will be a distinction which not. even the builder of the Panama canal can boast of. The medal you will then receive for faithful service will bear the inscription, ‘They that turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars forever and ever.'” Against Prohibition, The synod’s standpoint on some modern issues was also briefly defined in a paper submitted and accepted: “On prohibition: We hold that the temperance movement, aiming at changes in the laws governmg_l‘}t manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors ought to be treated as a po- litical, social and economic, and not as a religious issue. Both the oppo- nents and the supporters of this move- ment ought to be guided purely by considerations of public welfare. We reject, because contrary to Scripture, the doctrine that the use of liquor as 2 beverage is in itself a sin. We recog- nize the evils connected with the liquor traffic, but do not, as a church, presume to interfere in a mater which as a political issue purely concerns the state. The church’s duty ends when it teaches the sinfulness of the misuse of liquor, and when through the sanc- tifying power of the Gospel strength- ens its members against the abuse and temptations that lurk in the use of alcoholic drink.” y Regarding the Bible: “We believe that the Bible, as the inspired revela- tion of God, is unalterable and com- plete, requiring no human interpre- tation, and permitting no additions to its teachings and no changes from any source.” Reports and resolutions on colored missions, on foreign language mis- sions in this country, on Concordia college, Concordia, r{(o., and on the Lutheran High school at, Deshler, Neb., took up the rest of the fourth day’s session, 4 Union services of the Lutheran churches in an open-air mission fes- tival were held Sunday.
