' V" Brings Official Dispatches.
Washington, Nov. 1. Captain Paul
Koenig, commander of the Deutsch
land, today officially reported his ar
rival at New London to Count von
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
saying that he had brought the em
bassy a packet of dispatches from
Berlin. .
Dr. George Ahreus, an attache of
tne embassy, was sent to New Lon
don as the personal representative
of .the ambassador, who will follow
later.
It is believed here that the Deutsch
land will-start on its return trip pos
sibly, next week with medical sup
plies urgently needed by the German
military forces. '
The arrival of the Deutschland has
revived the probability of a regular
submarine mail service between the
United States and Germany. Soon
after the Deutrchiand arrived at Bal
timore on its first trip representa
tives of the owners, through the Ger
man ambassador, officially suggested'
to 'the Postoffice i department that
such a service be established.
Count von Bernstorff, it is expect
ed, will take up the question with
the postal authorities within the next
day or so. " ' , , '

Adamson bill is a gold brick fol

workday, bill. ' There ' was not any
eight-hour workday proposition in
volved in it. There never was. Things
that are right can walk in their own

"We haye won a great deal in this
country in getting free institutions
and when you summarize . it all, it
merely means the rule of public
opinion after discussion, according to
what we think are the merits of the
case. It does hot mean a rule of
force at all. That will knock every
thing out. You will not have any
work at all if that idea once gets
abroad in this country.
"I am for the merits of the case and
I am for proceeding according to the
rule of reason. I will go to the last
fact to find out what ought to be
done and I will do it according to
what I believe ought to be done, and
I won't budge an inch for anybody in
response to force." ,
In discussing the tariff, Mr.
Hughes told the mine workers at Lin
ton and Brazil that nothing was more
important to them than the prosper
ity of the iron and steel industry. We
know -that on account of the Euro
pean war the exports of iron and steel
tumped in a year from $251,000,000 to
$621,000,000," he said, "an increase of
two and a half times because of the
great demand created by the Euro
pean war. That was a demand caused
in very large part by the needs of
munitions; it also was caused in very
large part by the fact that men on
the other s'de were taken away from
their pursuits and productive activ
ities and were put in the trenches to

8TATE.WIDE PROHIBITION DATS WERE DATS OF
x HTPOCRIST, DECEIT, LAW EVASION. PERJCRT, BLACKMAIL
(This article Is from the pen ot Mr. Charles T. Fair
field, Rutland, Vt, and was written at the suggestion ot
his brother, Mr. E. M. Fairfield, Omaha).
The dispatches from Lincoln dated October IS, sent
broadcast over the country, stated that Charles Evans
'Hughes went to church in the Nebraska capital that da;
a 'id heard a "temperance sermon" and that the preacher
exhorted his congregation "not to forget while voting for
Mr. Hughes to vote also for the prohibition amendment" .
As 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 ID 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 favore pro- .
hibltion, and license if the sentiment of the communtly
favors the sale of liquors under regulation.
Until 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 beoome oonvinoed
; that local option is the MOST PRACTICAL"' TEMPERANCE
J YES, PROHIBITION METHOD, AND THE GREAT MA
JORITY OF VERMONTERS HAVE THE SAME CONVIC- .
. TION, In this they are in accord with the well known
convictions of ex-President Talt, Cardinal Gibbons and
thousands ot other statesmen and clergymen who have
been close students of the subject. It is no narrow or
provincial view of the subject that 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 pioneer prohibition state, and its
repudiation of prohibition, Us adoption of local option
and after twelve years its reaffirmation of local option by
a 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 fesued 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. v
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 mure, where liquor was sold
: .. In defiance of the law, or 286 places where it was sold
under strict regulation and police restraint So they
. voted last March, when the state prohibition law was re
, ' , submitted to them, to retain the local option law. 'They
j voted for it by a majority of 14,000 in a total vote of less
. . t; than 61,000. ...
,; ""' Vermonters adopted In 1903 local option by a ma
jority of lesa 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 waa '
" .; adopted. They did not want to return to the days of all
- forma of law evasion, scandalous bribe-taking by sheriffs,
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 BEFORE.
OF THE 346 UNITS (TOWNS AND CITIES). IN THE -8TATE
ONLY 17 HAVE THE LICENSED SALOON '
TODAY. 1 (
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 ot 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 bad been yeaily reduced
- so that it was permitted In only seventeen towns out ot
146 la the state.
- SAVINGS DEPOSITS HAVE DOUBLED
The savings banks deposits since 1903 have Increased
from 863,000,000 to 1103,000,000. 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
5 non-assertive. WHY NOT LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE!
LOCAL OPTION EFFECTIVE TEMPERANCE MEASURE
The local option system as a temperance measure la
supported by the majority of Vermont's prominent
clergymen, Judges, lawyers, doctors, manufacturers and
business men. The vote of March; 1916, of 33,000 to 19,000
(a practically full vote for this commonwealth of 360 000
people) is ample proof ot the assertion that the bulk ot
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 BQ
. REGARDED AS HAVING A MENTAL SLANT. THE
LAW IS RESPECTED BECAUSE ITS FOUNDATION
STONE IS PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Vermont has done great things in this republic It
baa pointed the way. It has furnished pioneers in many
lines ot 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 hare been heroic figures; tn statecraft,
In the professions, In business, its men have taken the
peaks. And probably all tor the same reason: THEY
HAVE HAD THE COURAGE OF THEIR CONVICTIONS;
they have discarded the shadow for the substance; they ,
..c 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 pasBlng of the last forty years. Nebraska has a repu
. i tation of being more substantial than some of Its neigh
bora, notably Kansas. Becauae Kansas has chased rain
bows ot various kinds, thinking they looked like halos,
. la no reason Nebraska should do it
LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE!
If Nebraska will refuse to chase 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.
