INTERVIEW WITH '"MAYOR JIM" Herald Reverter Interviews Deme craltc Candidate for Governor While at the fUte fair at Lincoln the business manager of the Herald had the opportunity of meeting .lames C, Danlman, the candidate for governor OB the democratic ticket. Many of the Herald Tenders have been anxious to know how "Mayor Jim" Btands on cer tain questions and for their Information lie took -down the conversation just as it occnred. When the question of county option came up, Omaha's chief executive ap peared deeply Interested at once, and his earnestness In the conversation that followed, showed that the man firmly believes in what he stands for. "County optlon.'lhe said, 'Ms a species of sumptuary legislation that I a mop po&ed to from principle, and that I be lieve every democrat that Is a true democrat is opposed to. County op tion en1iirrrift tVii. unit n n... ...... .T. t claim every community should have the right to regulators own affairs and that the liquor question as well as any other question should be settled by each town Itself, Democracy since Us origin has stood to make the unit as small us possible, and county option enlarges the unit. Therefore It Is un democratic and I am opposed to It. Every county optlonlst who 1b fair will admit that county option is but a step toward prohibition, I am opposed to prohibition because it taken away from the American the right of personal lib orty, the most valuable asset we hove Personal liberty Is an iiRfeet that was fought for and won only after a tierce war costing thousands of lives, which were sacrificed In the field of battle. It Is as much an InlaTenable right us any other and when you take away from a man hle-persoiial liberty you are tuking a step towards monarchy that's an other reason why I'm opposed to pro hibition. "Prohibition, whorever tried, hus proven a complete failure. State after state has had to abandon it for this reason, and It decreases property in value to the extent of twenty-five per cent. It required twenty years for Iowa to recover from the prohibition movement that decreased the value of property That's another reason why I am opposed to It. "Since the 1000 official United States cdnsus the population of the United States hos Increased twenty per cent. The prohibition area has been increat cd in thoso same ten yeur6 by a few states. But the nmout of liquor sold in the United States In those ten years hns increased forty per cent. Govern- I inent records will show this to be a fact. Isn't that us clear an indication as could he wanted that prohibition doesn't prohibit? That's another rea son I'm opposed to it. I believe in temperance, but 1 am opposed to pro hibition, mere are a good number of temperance people who are opposed to me because they think I am opposed to temperance and prohibition, but I'm not, I'm in favor of temperance and opposed to prohibition; and there's as much difference between temperance and prohibition as there is between night and day. I believe in temper ance, but I do not believe you can con trol a man's appetite by law, I don't believe you can regulate a man's appe tite by law It never yet has been done and never will. I am in favor of temperance, but believe that the logi cal, sensible and only way It will ever be reached is by education. Teach it from the cradle up in the homes. In the schools, In the churches teach It everywhere and eventually you might have temperance Out not by law. You can't legislate virtue into the soul of man and you can't legislate temper into the soul of a man. You can tench I Into the heart of a child temperance I and virtue but the power of choice I still remains with the child. I "It has been said that 1 am opposed to ' giving the State University sufficient appropriations. I do not know from what source this originated, but it is not true, Nebraska never had a gov ernor who will be more willing than I to vote appropriations for the State University. The professors there must remember that they nre paid servants of the state, und that they ure hired to teach the coming citizens of Nebraska, and not to mingle in politics. I realize that this is Important, and Nebraslca now stands first in the United States as far as education is concened. You may be assured that I am going to do ull within my power to keep it in that place. Among other things I am ad vocating is the establishment of more agricultural schools, I am in favor of an arbitration bourd for lubor. As a candidate I have mude no pledges or promises to any man or set of men and am under obligations to no man. If elected I promise to fill the office of governor to the best of my ability, without fear or favor. I have made a hard fight for the nomination and will fight harder for election. "A glance at ray public record will Riitllce to show the average man wheth er or not I am capable of filling the of fice of governor with credit. My rec ord as n public servant dates back to 1888. Until 18D0 1 served as sheriff, of a frontier county uta time when It took a man with courage to fill that office. Next I was mayor of Chadron two years. I wus chairman of the Demo cratic State Central Committee from 181)0 to 11)00. I was Democratic Nation al Committeeman from Nebraska from 11)00 to 1008 and twice elected mayor of Omaha. In all these offices that i have held at the hands of my friends and j party, there never was tho slightest hint of graft. My administration of Omaha hos been honest and economic al. I pledge myself to give the state of Nebraska the same honest and business administration if elected governor." Unique Entertainment The teachers of the citv schools and Hoard of Education were royally enter tained Thursday, September 15, by the Alliance Woman's Club at the home of Mr. Norton. After a unique and inter esting guessing contest, a program by the Club was given. Mrs. W. S Warrick, acting as mistress of ceremonies, intro duced Mrs. Ponatb, who responded with a beautiful piano solo. Mrs. Lunn followed with a popular reading, after which Mrs. Johnson rendered a vocal solo in her char acteristic pleasing way. Mrs. Rowan closed the program with two delightful dialect readings, Refreshments were then served consisting of cream and assorted cakes. The teachers were unanimous in their praise of the entertainment accorded, and left feeling that they had become better acquainted with Alliance school patrons, voting the Woman's Club the most hospit able hosts.

London, Sept. 20.- Behind the ex citement caused by the recent arrest of spies In Germany and England there is an Interesting story of the exten sive work of this nature carried on in all the European countries by officers of the rival armies and navies. It is well known to the English press, but the papers have not pub- jisneu it, that the two Englishmen re cently arrested by the German author ities are .lcers of social prominence on the active list of the British navy. Influential relatives of the men soon after their arrest brought pressure on the British authorities to take retalia tory action, The reply was that it would be easy to arrest several, for 'there were German spies at work In England, but It was not considered ex pedient that tho stronger Influence should be brought to benr, and the au thorities finally agreed to take one hostage, so Lieutenant Helm was ar rested at Portsmouth and will be com mitted to trial for felony. , Helm, according to the records of tho German war department, was on leave for the purpose of studying Eng lish in England. As a matter of fact, hundreds of German officers, by sim ilar methods, hnve gained almost as full n knowledge of all the Brlti?- fortifications as the English occupants themselves possess. G. A. R.
