AMERCA FIRST AND EFFICIENT.
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,

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

jDOWER must be r droned a reference to the weight
involved. This is the big underlying truth that is often
overlooked in careless statements about horsepower.
We repeat that Maxwell cars lave greater horsepower,
per pound of weight, than any car built.
This has been proved within the last six months
by four competitive tests made in the two leading
scientific schools of the UrdLed States.
The point for yon to remember is this:
Maxwell cars will take you anywhere that ary car
will take you and they’ll take you as fast as you’ll dare
to travel '

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

The Alley Joint in Kansas
Warden J. 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?
