A powerful arraignment of the ad ministration; a faultless and digni fied presentation of the argument for the prosecution. Suc-h was the speech of Charles Evans Hughes in which he formally accepted the republican presidential nomination “We come to state in plain and direct manner our faith, our purpose and our pledge” is Mr. Hughes’ opening remark, and what follows is plain and direct. No flowery verbosity; no rhetorical curlicues requiring editorial inter pretation; no “weasel words/’ hut facts, plainly put and striking home Not only did Mr. Hughes expose the stick and straw construction of the democratic party, but he presented a plan for a nobler, more stable struct ure, founded on "a dominant sense of national unity,” with the republican party, “the agency of national achieve ment,” as the master builder, and. we are confident, with Mr. Hughes the guacdian of the edifice. Mr. Hughes epitomized his desire for American supremacy in a sent ence ■which will be the watchword of his party: “America First and Amer ica Efficient.” He then outlined the du ties of the executive in respect to oui foreign relations and instanced how. at the very time when most we needed the services of trained and expert enceil diplomats they were recalled and the service demoralized by the appointment of tyros whose soli qualification was that they were “<!■: serving democrats.” As we anticipated, the Mexican policy was Mr. Hughes’ chief poin>. of attack. It is the administration’s weakest point. It is the perfect typ of a vacillation and instability of pin pose, exceeded never, equalled, per haps, but once in our history, and that was when the shiftiness of Jef ferson and Madison culminated in the War of 1S12. There is not a red blooded American who can read Hughes indictment of the adminstra tion in regard to Mexico without blushing for the shame which has been put upon this nation. Huerta recognized by Europe, was denied recognition by us. and then an emis sary was sent to treat with him. We demanded a salute from him while denying his leadership, and retired without receiving it, leaving nineteen of our dead in Vera Cruz. Denying that we were at war with Mexico, our dead soldiers were praised as having died in a war of service. Later it was denied that we went after the sa lute. We labored to get Huerta out of office while England and German y got our citizens In Mexico out of peril. On the arms and ammunition embargo the administration changed front five times. We advanced the cause of Villa, then turned* on him and recognized Carranza who had re fused to attend the conference called by President Wilson, and who h ■> never pretended to I ■ able to main tain orderly government. American citizens have been massacred and American property destroyed, and there is no redress, notwithstanding the democratic platform declaration of 1M2 that the constitutional rents of American citizens should “go with them throughout the World.” What a sickening chapter! In the matter of preparedness, Mr. Hughes showed that the adminisirn tion has followed, not led. Th ee times has it changer front on its own program, and after three years oi warning, the national guardsm n were called from their peaceful <v rrations and sent to the border without propei equipment, without necessary sup plies, and without suitable‘condition - of trasportation. In his outline for national deft, his proposal for an internation tri bunal to settle dispun s. his demand for the safe-guarding of our eeonomh independence, south, east. north and west, by means of a protective (arid for the upbuilding of a merchant ma rine. and for fiscal reform. Mr Hughes shows a comprch r. of mar national needs and a lire id: k of stat es manship which give tit ■ '.n:r.v con fidence in his constructive ability, and which at'e in striking contrast with the makeshift, anytking-towatch votes, devices now being put through by the party in power.

SCHUYLER Does Prohibition Reduce Crime? The Promise V Advocates of State PROHIBITION predict there will be fewer criminals in the penitentiary and fewer boys and girls in industrial schools and reformatories, in case the people of Nebraska wipe out their Local Option, High License Law and adopt State PROHIBITION. Let us see what are the results in Kansas under 35 years of State PROHIBITION, and what the results are under 35 years of Local Option in Nebraska. The Actual Result SENTENCED INMATES OCTOBER 1, 1915 KANSAS NEBRASKA Penitentiary .. 830 326 Reformatory. 330 None Boys’ Industrial School. 264 199 Carls’ Industrial School. 154 99 Total.1,578 624 •The foregoing !■ a complete Hat of State Penal and Correctional Inatitntiona in the two atatea.

K. Codding of the Kansas penitentiary says that the “LITTLE ALLEY JOINT” in the cities of Kansas makes criminals. “After being in the penitentiary for three years and nine months (the average sentence served) the KANSAS BOY who has gone wrong walks out of the institution under parole * * * Cleaned, disciplined, re formed, he leaves the penitentiary walls behind him to return to his native city—the city that permitted him to become schooled in crime * * * He finds that * * * his native city, the city that spoiled him, hasn’t reformed any. IT HAS THE SAME LITTLE ALLEY JOINT, the same rendezvous where some of the men and boys slip down after night to play poker and shoot craps * * * He resists it for a while, but the pull of the destructive fight of his native city is too much for him. He slips a little and keeps slipping, and some morning he wakes up after a debauch to find he has broken his parole * * *” (See Official Report of the Kansas Conference of Chmritiom end Correction* held November, 1015, page 43.) These are the conditions surrounding the men and boys of Kan sas. Is it any wonder that the penal and correctional institutions in Kansas contain twQ and a half times as many inmates as do sim ilar institutions in Nebraska?
