NO DRINK WHILE WORKING.
Drastic Action Proposed for All IT
 Norway,

(Correspondence of tho Asso. Press
 Christiania, Norway, Aug 14.-A bill prohibiting all workers on public conveyances as well as soldiers and sailors of both the fighting and mer- chant fleets from consuming intoXi- eating liquors during their working hours and also six hours before they take up their duties has been intro duced into the Norwegian parliam ent. It is believed that as the majority of the legislators are in favor of prohi- Iition the bill will become law in a very short time and may possibly lead to prohibition throughout the country.
 The measure provides for criminal prosecution of offenders against it's articles the first offense being pun ishable by a fine and a repetition by | i'm prisonment for a maximum term of three months and liability to dis plissal without possibility of return to public service.
 Employes on street cars, omnibuses taxcabs, railroads and passenger boats arc subject to the provisions of the bill, as well as soldiers and sail Ors, but the king has the power to grant dispensation to the officers and crews of warships visiting foreign ports where they may be entertained by the hosts or have to give entertain 1nent in return,
 Most of the Norwegian steamship lines already mako it a condition of their contracts with their officers and crews that they shall totally ab- stain intoxicating liquors during their ser1ice.

AWAY WITH NECESSITIES
No Grrmbling Now That People Have
 Adjusted Themselves to Conditions -Serious Business Cause for Travel

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 London, July 3O.-One by one the great war has whittled down whole list of comforts, services, pleasures and so-caued necessities of life that the twentieth century thought indis- pensabe But no grumbling is heard now that the people have adjusted themselves to the charged conditions.
 Two years ago the English people were all travellers. The magic car pet lay waiting outside the door of the hum blest citizen with a ten pound note. "A Week in Lovely Lu- cerne for Five Pounds" was within the ambition of the poorest worker. At Christmas winter-spOrt holiday makers packed the English channc, boats even more than they were packed at Easter or in the summer.
 For two years now not single Fnglishman or Englishwoman, unless on strict business only" has been able to leave these shores for the continent. Two years ago the Lon doner could compass BoulOgne or Ostend in a twenty-four jaunt. To- day those trite familiar towns have become as far off as Lhasa or Var kand.
 Home travel, too, has suffered, SeV- enteen cross country train serVlces have disappeared. The people Who live on these routes are eXperlenclhs restrictions of movement tighter than those that kept at home their ances- tors of the stage coach days.
 Main line services have been cut down so gradually that people scarce lv realize how much they have been curtailed. They have become uSed to few and crowded Iong-distance trains no dining cars and slower services paon1e ignore discomforts and delays that a few years ago would have sent furning letters to the arrangements and the newspapers. People have schooIed themselves to travel as httle aa possihIe: are content to wait in definitely for delivery of goods; are vaiving-in milliOns-their annual va ca lions.

TO BUY FROM RUSSIA

Tokio, Aug. 18.-Announcement of the RussO-Japanese convention has bcen followed by the visit to Tokio of Peter Julievitch Schmidt secretary of the Russian chamber of export, who will study ways and means of stimu- Ia ting Russia's permanent export trade to Japan. MT. Schmidt will es- pcCially investigate Japanese require- ments in the way of raw material which Russia produces abundantly.

including Governor Johnson and him self, being tossed aside without the
 slightest recognition.
 P1Ngrcssives Crowded Out. As a result of the stand taken by lEe old guard, the chairmen at all of the Hughes meetings in California
 will be representative of the old guard element Such a state of affairs, Mr. Powell fears, cannot but hurt the Hughes candidacy. The feeling among the progressives is described as being even more bitter than has appeared on the surface, and the visit of MT. Hughes is being awaited with the deepest interest.
 The election figures for 1914, when have been quoted to the nominee to illustrate the danger of affront to the progressivcs which would turn thom away from the republican ticket. Governor Johnson polled 460,495 votes; FrederiCks, republican, 271,99O and Curtin, democrat, 116121.
 or the prOgressivcs at least 350, ,O00 arc not enrolled this year, either as IrOgrcssivcs or republicans, and therefore, cannot take part in the primary fight. So far as the presi- dental election IS concerned they are, according to MT. ROWell on the fence. MT. ROWell is a warm supporter of Hughes, but he is unable to tell at this time what effect local conditions will have on the national vote If the old guard persists in it's present atti- tude Altogether it is a difficult and dangerous problem which faces the nominee.
 At present MT. Rowell feels that fifty per cent. of the progressives surely will vote for Hughes and per haps ten per cent for MT. Wilson, while forty per cent. are undecided what course to pursue. The next few days, in which time the nominee will make half a dozen speeches. may have a decided effect for good or bad upon the situation. The dangers faced, the leaders feel, are best illus trated by the 1912 vote when Colonel Roosevelt runninfi as a progressive, carried the state by a margin of only 174 votes. Wilson got 283, ,436 votes Tn that contest.

Wilson Is Strong.

To add to the worry, come many reports of the presidents unquestion- cd strength in California The slogan that MT Wilson has kept the country out of war is proving effective there, among men as well as women voters, and in addition the president is strong with labor mon. The leaders who want Mir Ines elected are glad he Is on tE to stir things up, and they arc hoping that he will do some thing effective. There is a strong feel irg among some of the progrcssivos who would support MT. Hughes under other circumstances arc drawing away from him; they don't like the attitude of State Chairman Kessing in ruling that the progressves have TO right to meddle in the state situa- ton, so far as the republican party fs concerned.
 MT. Crocker and his close followers were to meet MT. Hughes at the state line and escort him to San Francisco. MT. Rowell and other pro- gressives would like the nominee to say some plain words to them, but it is doubtful if anything of the kind Will happen u IS QOuDtcO, also, IT MT Hughes will accept another sug- gestion by the progressives that he give some endorsement to Governor Johnson in his addresses. His atti- tude has been not to meddle in the senatorial fights or other state Ques- tions.
 Mr. Hughes left Portland apparent ly satisfied that he would carry all of the states in which he had cam paigned. He seemed to feel that the fight was going well. He faced big crowds in Seattle and Portland, and while the excitement generally at tendant upon a presidential campaign was missing the voters seemed to like his tariff talk. The speeches have been well received, alth ough many cx- pressions have been heard 10 the ef-

HUGHES FIRST, LAST, AND ALL
THE TINE.

The more one thinks of the need Of
the nation in this time of world crisis,
the stronger becomes the conviction
that we should look to Charles E.
Hughes not as an ideal but probably
impossible candidate, but as the one
man upon whom sentiment must crys-
tallize for the honor and safety of the
republic. The practical question is not,
whom shall we choose if we cannot have
Hughes?, but how can we order events
so that Hughes will accept the romina-
ton? The less we talk about second
choices the better.
There is but one situation in which
Justice Hughes would be compelled to
make the sacrifice of running for the
Presidency, and there is no question
but that it would be a great personal
sacrifice and that is the united demand
of both Republicans and Progressives.
He has said he would not be a candidate
in the ordinary sense. But if the best
efforts of the friends of Root, Roose-
welt, Borah and all the others fail to
win anything like general support as
it is probable they will not, and if it is
clear that Mr.. Hughes is the one man on
whom all can unite, as now seems to be
the case, he can hardly fail to heed the
call. To heal the divisions between
Republicans and Progressives, to wipe
out the shame of weak and vacillating
foreign policy, to restore the national
revenues and give stable foundation
to American industry, is work of such
tremendous importance that it brushes
aside obstructing traditions and calls ir-
resistibly for acceptance of the respon-
sibility.
Vermont is for Hughes. The Ver-
mont delegation to the Republican con-
vention should be composed of men who
will not coquette with second choices,
but who will stand firm and steady for
the first choice of the people of the
State
