NO MODEL LICENSE LAW.


 Major Dan Morgan Smith was for four years general counsel for the liquor organization known as the Model License league. The following paragraphs from an address of his shows why he threw up that position and Is now speaking and working for prohibition
 For four years I advocated the pas sage of a model license law as means of lessening the evils of drink. AS the head of the law department of one of the three largest liquor asso- citations in America, maintained that it's passage would take the liquor dealers out of politics and the law breakers out of the liquor business.
 Was I wrong? I shall never know. for the liquor crowd were pay ing me to talk reform and paying oth- CTS to defeat reforml
 The model license law was effec- tive as a vote-getter, but it never cleaned out one dive, never effected one reform, for, although advocated in every fight against prohibition in the last six years. 1t has never been en- acted in any place. Its advocacy has fooled more decent people into voting with the liquor crowd than all the spe- cious nonsense about taxes and per sonal liberty put together. Can we expect laws from the liquor camp that will eliminate the dive, or lessen drunkenness or stop the sale of liquor to minors? Can we expect brewery agents to pass laws that will take away the license of brewery-owned saloons? Can We expect legislators, nominated and elected by the brewery interests, to pass laws that will take the liquor business out of politics? No, the only thing we can expect from the liQuor people is just what we have received in the past-lying promises.

HERE TO STAY.

The following is quoted from letter written by Senator Moses F. Clapp of Minnesota to George w. Perkins, chair man of the Progressive national com 1nittee "The prohibition movement to- day differs from that movement in other times. When you and l were boys, every spring there was seen temperance agitation and everybody took the pledge. Some kept it and some did not The present movement Is entirely different. There is no hys- teria or excitement about it. It Is simply calm. deliberate judgment on the part of the American people, from the man who employs to the man who Is employed, that the saloon is a men, ace. Having come in this quiet way, free from hysteria and excitement, and as a result of deliberate judgment, an inclined to think it is here to stay, and If times are good, is liable to be more of a factor than we sometimes suppose"

BRYAN EXPLAINS WHY: HE
Baked AT SECOND NOTE

Col. w. J. Bryan last night made
public the following statement:
My attention has ben called to a
number of newspaper editorials and
articles which. in varying language
ask the question, why did Mr.. Bryan
sign the first note to Germany and
then refuse to sign the second" The
argument presented in the question
is based upon the supposition that
the two notes were substantially the
same and that the second note simply
reiterates the demands contained in
the first. They then declare II incon-
sistent to sign one and refuse TO
sign the other. The difference be-
tween the two cases would seem OBJ
vious enough to make an answer un-
necessary, but, lest silence on the sub
ject be taken as an admission of in
consistency. the following explanation
is given:
The notes must be considered in con-
rection with the conditions under which
thev were sent The first note presented
the case of this government upon such
evidence as We then had. 1t was like the
plaintiffs statement in a case. his claim
being based upon the facts as he pre-
sents them. l did not agree entirely
with the language of the first note. but
tn. difference was not so material as
to Justify refusal to sign il. Then,
too. / was at that time hoping that GER
tain things would be done which would
make it easier for Germany to acquiesce
in our demands.
Hopes Failed to Materia1ize.
The three things which 1 had in mind
which in my judgment. would have
helped the situation were: First. an an
# will
part TO employ the principle Of investiga-
ton embodied in our thirty peace treaties:
second action which would prevent
American citizens from travelling on bel
ligerent ships or on American ships car
rying contraband. especially II that con-
:raband consisted of ammunition: and.
third. further insistence upon our protest
against interference OF our trade with
neutra,s. T thought that these three
things we're within the range OF posi-
bilities and that two or at least one was
proba BILE.
Some weeks have elapsed since the first
note was sent and We have not only fall
ed to do any of these things hoped for,
but Germany has in the meantime an
swered and in her answer has not only
presented a number OF alleged facts
which in her Judgment. justified the
deviation which she has made from the
ordinary rules applicable TO prize cases
but she has suggested arbitration. A re-
lection of the arguments. which she pre-
scented and of the allegations made, to-
gether with a reiteration of the original
demands creates a very different situa-
ton from that which existed when the
first demand was made.
AS | have before stated. my fear has
been that. owing to the feeling existing
in Germany, the government might. upon
receipt of such a note under such cir
break off diplomatic rela-
tiOns and thus create a situation out of
which war might come without the in
tention of either side. l am sure that
the President does not want war, and |
am confident that our people do not want
war: l have no reason to believe that
