ton will the government refuse, if
force demands it? The administration
has indeed certain proposals, which
it said were to provide against recur-
renee of such situation in the fu-
ture, but these proposals were op-
posed and consequently were not
adopted. What is left OF them? Why
should they ever be adopted if the
same pressure is exercised to defeat
them? What fatuous thing it is to
surrender principle to force and to
hope to stand for principle later.
When principle is involved, stand
firm now! Do not run away and
dream that you will have more cour-
age in future day.
Serious Blow to Labor. Y
"This bill is serious blow to la
Dor. 1t undermines what labor has
sought to maintain. 1t substitutes
legislation for collective bargaining.
| do not speak of the validity of the
bill. am speaking of its policy from
the labor standpoint. Is labor pre-
pared to give up collective bargain
ing and to have wages fixed by law?
If wages could be increased by law
they could be decreased.
THE principle of arbitration has
been betrayed. Labor has worked
for this principle. 1t has won i'm
portant victories, and public opinion
has developed in its favor But what
becomes of this principle if arbitra-
ton is secuted and force is recog-
nized as victor? The essence of arbi-
tration is fair, prompt and impartial
hearing Yet it is idle to say that
such hearing could not be had
That is simply to insist that we can
not provide for justice in this coun-
try. Such doctrine is revolutionary.
OF course we can provide for prompt,
candid and thorough investigation,
and determination if we insist upon
it. We shall never do it if we sub
stitute force or yield to force

Postmaster Loses
Fight to Hold Job

A dispatch from North Platte states
that word has beef received there to
the effect that the case against W
NJ. Coble, a postoffice inspector, act,
ing postmaster at Bridgeport, has
been dismissed.
~ The case arose over the efforts Of
C. L. Porter, former postmaster, to
have Ceble enjoined from continuing
in the office, the former having been
removed by the postmaster general
because of so-called sassy" CORE
spondence written to the cabinet
member.
Several months ago Porter, accord
ing to the story, wrote to the post
master general asking for additional
clerks in the Bridgeport office. The
reply to this letter was to the effect
that the office in question had as
many clerks for its size and the
amount of business done as any Of
fee in the country.
30 Porter then wrote another letter to
the postmaster general telling him
how many hours he porter worked
a day, and how many his clerks
worked, and then interrogating fhe
member of the cabinet as to how
many he worked. ... -,
The upshot of the matter. was that
Porter was removed from office
When Colby, the postoffice inspector
was sent to Bridgeport to take the
office, Porter fought his removal on
the grounds that, as he was appointed
by the president, only the president
could remove him from office,

Founder of Aurora
Goes to California
To Make His Home

Aurora, Neb., Oct. Especial y
Robert Miller and Mrs. Miller left
Aurora yesterday fer California after
continuous residence here since 1871
In fact, Mr.. Miller was the first set
tier on the section OF land which is
now occupied by Aurora. He has
rented his home for year and will
probably make his future home for
all time in California. Early in 1871
the town of Aurora was surveyed by
Mr.. Miller and some others. The
first meeting was held in dugQut
located on what is now Streeter park.
The new town was named Aurora
from a town of that name in Illinois.
Mr.. Miller relates that the evening Of
the meeting was illuminated with a
brilliant aurora borealis in the north
and this was regarded as a good
omen.

BRYAN HAS LITTLE TO SAY

Lincoln, Oct. 9,-(Special. )-Three
speakers, under the auspices OF the re.
publican state committee, after q
week spent in campaigning in Ne.
braska, came back convinced that
Nebraska will give its electoral vote
to Hughes.
The speakers, w. J. Crank of Den
yer, c. c. Hunt of New York, and
w. A. Hunsberger of New York
have, visited practically every section
of the state. Mr., Crank covered the
western portion, DR.. Hunsberger was
in the central and southern sections
and Mr.. Hunt was in eastern coun-
ties.
All three met at the republican state
headquarters and agreed that the stu
alton was very satisfactory>irom a re-
publican standpoint.
Voters Want Facts.
Hughes sentiment is rapidly grow
ing in Nebraska" they agreed, The
Wilson sentiment reached its full
strength two weeks ago, and from
now on the republican candidate is
certain to gain strength. We found
the voters of Nebraska especially in
terested in the campaign-they want
the facts and as soon as they get
them they begin thinking"
Frank Corrick, chairman of the pro-
gressive state committee of Nebraska,
is in Utah in the interest of Charles
E. Hughes, according to word re-
ceived in Lincoln by his friends. Mr.,
Corrick wrote that he found progress
sives all over the west returning to
the republican party, In Utah, Mr..
.Corrick was able to split up the fusion
of progressives and democrats, and
he anticipates big vote will be cast
for Hughes in that state. ..
Position of Bryan.
There was little consolation handed
out to the anti-Bryan men when w. ].
Bryan returned to Lincoln yesterday
for a short time before leaving on a
campaign tour. The anti-Bryanites
are looking to the big chief to pull
the democratic party through In this
state. Mr.. Bryan indicated he would
speak for Wilson and the dry amend
. ment in. his campaign tour of the state
the last week before election. He
did not have a word to say about the
senatorial, congressional or state
tickets.

CONFEREES Agree ON
MORE WEST POINT men
Bill Doubling Number of Cadets Re-
ceives Endorsement of Committee.
Army Bill Up Today.

The bill practically doubling the num-
Der of cadets at West Point, one of the
minor preparedness measures designed to
supply officers for the increase of the
regular army and the training of the
militia. was agreed upon by the House
and Senate conferees yesterday. The
bills passed by the two houses differed
little in essentials but the conference
committee followed almost entirely the
House bill.
The army bill will be taken up by the
COnferees of the two houses today. 1t
was predicted yesterday as a result of
informal conferences between members
of the committee that as a compromise
between the figure of 10000 fixed by the
House and 100000 fixed by the Senate for
the regular army, a regular force of
10000 men will be agreed upon.
1t is also expected that the Federal
reserve feature of the Chamberlain bill
will be mnimized and that the House
will have its way in concessions to the
National Guard in the way of increased
pay for officers and greater inducements
to the enlisted men to serve.

A letter from the President, read to
the caucus by Chairman Jones OF the

opposition. On the contrary a stormy
debate followed.
There were threats of bolting II the
leaders attempted to force the issue. and
angry Democrats impeached the party

warning that they would disregard the
caucus decree II it elected to take the
course pointed out by the President.
Upon the suggestion of Speaker Clark

halted the hattie by an agreement to

Boston delegations were summoned by

MUST ASSUME
Ships NEUTRAL
Wilson Holds Vessels Should
Not Be Attacked Until
Proved Warlike.
FOR VISIT AND SEARCH
President Admits, However, that YES
sells Lose Status When Under
Orders to Resist Capture.

The attitude OF the United States
toward armed merchantmen in neutral
ports and on the high seas is defined
in statement made public yesterday by
direction of President Wilson. The
statement was originally intended as a
circular note to the other powers and is
dated March Is, 1916.
The feature OF the statement is its
direct bearing on the submarine issue
with Germany. 1t takes the position
that belligerent is not justified in pre-
suming that an armed merchantman en-
countered on the high seas is of a war
like character until conclusive evidence
has shown it to be.
The presence OF armament on the ship
is not considered sufficient and in the
absence Of conclusive evidence to the
contrary the belligerent. the United
States contends, must act on the as
sumption that the armed merchantmen
Is Of a peaceful character.
As officials of the State Department
yesterday explained, there is practically
only one means open to a belligerent to
prove cOnClusively the warlIke character
of an armed merchantman and that is
by visit and search.
Reiterntes Contention.
The statement reiterates the conten-
tiOn of the United States that an armed
merchantmen may exercise its right of
self protection either by flight or by re-
sistanCe.
The right to capture and the right to
prevent capture are recognized as equally
justifiable."
But the statement points out that war
ships, under international law. must give
merchant ships an opportunity to sur
render or to submit to visit and search
before attempting to seize them by force.
II the merchantmen fees or resists. the
warship may exercise force TO compel
surrender.
A feature of the statement is the fact
that the United States takes the position
that an armed merchant ship of beIlig-
erent nationality loses its status as peace
able merchant ship il the captain Is
under orders TO resist capture in all cir
cumstances. Americans are warned that
they travel on vessels possessing a
status tainted with a hostile purpose" at
their own risk and that they may not
expect immunity other than that ac-
corded persons who are on board a war,
ship.
