The people of Nebraska are being urged this year to adopt state
wide PROHIBITION, and to wipe cut the Slocum Local Option,
High License Law.
Naturally, the average man wants to know what results have been
achieved instates where PROHIBITION has been tried. He wants
to kn;;w first of all whether state-wide PROHIBITION prohibits.
The practical man also wants to know what results have been
achieved in Nebraska under the Local-option, High License System
We intend to publish a series of articles with a view of lay
ing certain vital facts before the people of this state, facts
which they should possess in order that they may be able
to make an intelligent decision.
The citizens of Nebraska want an opportunity to hear both sides
of the question. They have little patience with the. extremists, of
whom there are some on both sides. They want to hear in plain
language why so many men of standing are opposed to state-wide
PROHIBITION.
We will present evidence in abundance to show that
state-wide PROHIBITION does not prohibit; that serious
new evils follow in the wake of PROHIBITION, evils
far worse and more numerous than those for which
PROHIBITION is offered as a remedy.

John Jaffray and Louisa, his wife,
live in a cottage not far from Sir
Hujrh's. mansion. John has been cast
off by his father when he marries
Louisa, who is the child of one of the

Tempted i.y the sight of a string of
pearls on a woman's r.?ck, Louisa
-teals them. Frantic with poverty.
Louisa takes the pearls to an old
pawnbroker and strikes a bargain
with him, aiso binding him to secrecy.
When her child is born, they call him
Cuiii- J tiff ray. The news is received
by Sir Hugh with an outburst of rage.
At the age cf twelve, Curtis' par
ents find the horrifying discovery
that he has inherited through pre
natal influences, a tendency to steal.
Terror-stricken at the discovery.
Louisa confesses to her husband that
Curtis inherits her traits, because she
stole before he was born. Upon John's
death Sir Hugh virits the widow and
grandson, wilting to adept him and
give him the education of a gentle
man. Fifteen years later he finds Curtis
referred to as Sir Curtis Jaffray, man
about town and scholar. A deep mys
tery clouds his life, and in his room
he has various material with which he
can disguise himself at will. Hamby,
a former acquaintance of Jaffray,
shabby and disreputable, traces him,
and for old time's sake Jaffray de
cides to employ Hamby ar- a social
secretary, meaning, however, to use
him as a tool for his nefarious opera

and who deserted him years before in
Italy. Lilla, "The Countess Rossi,"
becomes infatuated with Jaffray, and
they commence a violent flirtation, al
though it is understood Jaffray is
engaged to Eleanor Hilson. One of
the first things Curtis notices about
Lilia is the magnificent black pearl
which she is wearing, recognizing it
as the famous and priceless black
pearl of India.
Jaffray has an old jeweler fashion
a pendant exactly similar to the one
worn by Lulla. In the meantime Ilan

Rossi is his wife, stolen from him
years before in Italy by Count Rossi.
At midnight, in the midst of a gay

that the black pearl of India is mis
