NO ARMS ABOARD THE SHIP 1 Washington, Nov. 1.—The Postoffice department is prepared to accept a proposal submitted by Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, that mails between this country and Germany bé transported in merchant submarines. . Announcement to this effect was made today by Otto Prae- ger, second assistant postmaster gen- eral. i, No arms or ammunition were aboard the submarine Deutschland and apparently the vessel was in the condition it left Baltimore several weeks ago, customs authorities at New London reported to the Treas- ury department. Instructions were given that the Deutschland be treated as a merchant ship lacking further in- formation. J Investigation by naval officers is not expected to change the view now taken by customs authorities of the submarine's status. Communication With City of Chihuahua Cut Off by Bandits El Paso, ‘Tex., Nov. l.—Railroad and telegraph communications with Chihuahua City from the border have been interrupted and Chihuahua City is now isolated, as the railroad bridges have been destroyed north, south and west of the’ Chihuahua state capital.

The Kosciusko society at a meet- | ing last Sunday, heard addressgs by | Edgar Howard and members of the | democratic ring, relative to the whoie ticket.

STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION DAYS WERE DAYS OF HYPOCRISY, DECEIT, LAW EVASION, PERJURY, BLACKMAIL (This article is from the pen of Mr. Charles T. Fair- field, Rutland, Vt., and was written at the suggestion of his brother, Mr. E. M. Fairfield, Omaha). The dispatches from Lincoln dated October 15, sent broadcast over the country, stated that Charles Evans “Hughes went to church in the Nebraska capital that day aud heard a “temperance sermon” and that the preacher exlkorted his congregation “not to forget while voting for Mr. Hughes to vote also for the prohibition amendment.” Ag a former Nebraskan, resident of Lincoln, I regret that “temperance” and “prohibition” statutes should be so confused. They “are absolutely different. The refusal of some good people to recognize the difference is amazing. Vermont had state-wide prohibition for fifty years, but it never had in all that half-century the temperance it has had in the past thirteen years since it has had local option on the liquor selling question, which simply means prohibition if the sentiment of the community favors pro- hibition, and license if the sentiment of the communtiy favors the sale of liquors under regulation. Untll the writer saw how local option by towns and cities operated in Vermont he thought state prohibition the most effective method of solving the world-old prob- lem of real temperance. But he has become convinced that local option is the MOST PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE YES, PHOHIBITION—METHOD, AND THE G T MA- JORITY OF VERMONTERS HAVE THE SAME CONVIC- TION.

It is no narrow or provincial view of the subject thai the writer takes be- cause ‘besides his knowledge of and pride in the splendid achievements of Nebraska since he first knew the state in 1876 he has had first-hand knowledge of /the operation of liquor selling restrictive measures in Michigan and Massachusetts, both local option states, through a news- paper publishing experience in those states of twenty years. That much for introduction and preface. . VERMONT’S REPUDIATIONS OF PROHIBITION Now for Vermont, a ploneer prohibition state, and. its repudiation of prohibition, its adoption of local option and after twelve years its reaifirmation of local option by & majority fifteen times larger than that by which it was adopted. Here are some facts that ought to appeal to an intelligent electorate like that of Nebraska, composed in such large part of New England stock. In 1899, when Vermont had state prohibition, the United States government fssued 808 licenses to sell liquor in the state, besides which cases were being constantly un- covered of illegal sellers who had not even paid the fed- eral tax, In 1915, under local option, the federal government issued only 286 liquor, licenses in Vermont, Temperance people were in no doubt of what they preferred—808 places, and more, where liqguor was sold in defiance of the law, or 286 places where it was sold under strict regulgtion and pulice restraint. So they voted last March, when the state prohibition law was re- submitted to them, to retain the local option law. "They voted for it by a majority of 14,000 in a total vote of less than 51,000, Vermonters adopted in 1903 local option by a ma- Jority of lese than a thousand, so their 1916 reaffirmation, after thirteen years’ trial, of local option was by a ma- jority fifteen times larger than that by which it was adopted. They did not want to return to the days of all forms of law evasion, scandalous bribe-taking by sheritts, and general laxity that prevailed under state prohibition in the communities where the sentiment did not back up prohibition. VERMONT'S GREAT PROSPERITY UNDER LOCAL OPTION VERMONT HAS PROSPERED SINCE IT HAD LOCAL OPTION, IN 1908, AS SHE HAD NEVER DONE BEFORR. OF THE 246 UNITS (TOWNS AND CITIES) IN THE STATE ONLY 17 HAVE TIHE LICENSED SALOON TODAY. Local option has been an effective temperance meas- ure. The vast majority of Vermonters do not want the saloon, but they know that the way to reduce the num- ber of saloons is to let every community settle the ques- tion, annually or at least at frequent intervals, according to, public sentiment, knowing full well that you cannot stop liquor selling in a community that wants liquor sold. The slogan of the Vermont local-option campaign, culminating last March, was: LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE! Why not? Liquor selling had been yeayly reduced so that it was permitted in only seventeen towns out of 246 in the state. SAVINGS DEPOSITS HAVE DOUBLED The savings banks deposits since 1903 have increased from $53,000,000 to $108,000,000. In other words, the 200,- 000 savings bank depositors in this state in 1916 have drawing interest nearly twice as much money as they had thirteen years ago—after a half-century of state pro- hibition, or indeed since savings banks were established. Why not say: LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE! The value of property of all kinds, real estate, town and farm, manufacturing and financial, has increased more in the past thirteen years than it did in the fifty years of state prohibition with its hypocrisy, deceit, per- jury, blackmail, when public opinion was dormant and non-assertive. WHY NOT LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE! LOCAL OPTION EFFECTIVE TEMPERANCE MEASURE The local option system as a temperance measure is suppbrted by the majority of Vermont's prominent clergymen, judges, lawyers, docfors, manufacturers and business men. The vote of er(:h,' 1916, of 33,000 to 19,000 (a practically full vote for this commonwealth of 360,000 people) i8 ample proof of the assertion that the bulk of Vermont's men of conscience are for local option as against state prohibition. The fight for the retention of local option in this state was headed by James M. Tyler, former supreme justice of Vermont. LOCAL OPTION IS EFFECTIVE IN VERMONT. NO ONE GAINSAYS IT. ONE WHO DOES SO WOULD BB REGARDED AS HAVING A MENTAL SLANT. THE LAW I8 RESPECTED BECAUSE ITS FOUNDATION STONE IS PUBLIC SENTIMENT. Vermont has done great things in this republic. It has pointed the way. It has furnished pioneers in many lines of endeavor. In the revolutionary war its Green Mountain Boys turned the tide, in the civil war it fur nished more soldiers than any other state in the union in proportion to its size; its admirals of the navy and gen- erals of the army have been Leroic figures; in statecraft, in the professions, in business, its men have taken the peaks. And probably all for the same reason: THEY HAVE HAD THE COURAGE OF THEIR CONVICTIONS; » they have discarded the shadow for the substance; they gotten at the thing itself rather than the name. - “LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE” Then, why shouldn't Vermont say to Nebraska: LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE. Nebraska has loomed large, and constantly larger, in the passing of the last forty years. Nebraska has a repu- tation of being more substantial than some of its neigh- bors, notably Kansas. Because Kansas has chased rain- bows of varlous kinds, thinking they looked like halos, is no reason Nebraska should do it LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE! 1t Nebraska will refuse to chuse shadows and its peo- ple devote more attention to improving its highways, its real prosperity and its real temperance and sobriety will be the better promoted.
