SECRETARY snAw's SPEECH

"The honorable Secretary of the Treasury makes the best of bad bargain in his discussion of national issues.
 His speech in Memphis last night was devoted largely to controverting Mir. Bryan's position on public ques- tions.
 "The Secretary, however, is not very much more effective through out than he is in that paragraph wherein he says: It is the appro- priate function of the government to safeguard the individual and to see that the game of business is fairly played, that the cards are held above the table, and that everybody is given square deal. It is not the appropriate function of the govern ment to sit in the game. The Sec retary forgets that as matter of history the government has been sitting in the game more and more ever since the foundation of the government. By government we mean, of course, not only national government but state and municipal government, not only in foreign countries, but in this country. The number of functions now performed by the governments in the United States is a revolution in conditions as compared with some decades ago.
 The Secretary points out some of the weaknesses in the govern ment's dispatch of business. He overlooks, too, the tendency to i'm, proyement in the civil service, whereby the public is securing, and will secure, greater efficiency and honesty.
 This government is not only sit ting in its own game continually but it is sitting in its own foreigr games, and it is having a larger voice continually in the affairs oi foreign nations, and by the invita- tion of the latter"
 The foregoing from the Memphis News Scimiter is quite to the point at this time, especially as Mir. Shaw

is to speak here so soon.
 In this connection we will ask which is best for the people to have, government conduct big business enterprises or to have the big cor porations control governments and by such control plunder the people ?
 The facts are, the corporations have been doing this to such an ex- tent as to cause President Roosevelt to sound a note of warning and to advocate strenuous measures to try and prevent the further robbing of the industrial interests of this great country by those corporations. We think it better to have the govern ment sit in the game on a square deal than to have the corporations in with stacked cards and every thiev- ing device known to the game.

HUGHES SENTIMENT UP THE STATE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: As a travelling l visit the establish
neuts Of nearly every manufacturing industry in
this state. In the last week I have noticed an
uamistakabl increase in Hughes sentiment among
the factory men. An argument took place in a
little hotel in OsWego the other day and three
Hearst men declared themselves convinced OF
their mistake by the following, which is in sub
stance what they said;
I'VE know that crime exists We are living on
earth. and we IN way heavenly. We are
only human, and human nature at best is weak
In all parts of the North, East. South and West
see prosperity unprecedented not only in ths
history o. out country but in the history of
the world. We have millonaires who We feel
sure, have made their money BY fraud, but We
who work for living know we have work to do
and that better paid than before f0-
the work we do. So long ss this earth remains
Il is, and until this earth becomes heaven, Nc
win have crime contend with. We may be-
grudEe the millionaire his millions but would
rather I've few get rich while ourselves
thrive tnan deSpoll the few Of riches and starye
TO death ourselves" <. ID. g., Jr

HOW HUGHES WINSVOTES

the pretence from Hearst on one issue after the
other. He pointed out to them in language that
they understood how Hearst, the alleged foe OF
corporations, was himself corporation.
MI Hughes that audience. AS he hur-
ried out of the hall TO go to another meeting. he
was held up by the crowd OF men, who pressed
forward to grasp him by the hand.
Such meetings are heavy with meaning. Mr.
Hughes will win other labor audiences, and his
most useful campaigning will be to just that sort
of citizens The farmers and the business mon
will take care of themselves. They have slready
make up their minds TO vote for Mr. Hughes
Too much attention, however, cannot be given
to the laboring men.
In the rural sections the Democratic machine
is disorganized and harmless. In the cities the
spirit of unrest is active. The sober appeal Of
Mr. Hughes TO reason as against passion, when
made by Mr.. Hughes direct to the laborng mon.
has its effect.
All this became apparent on the first up-state
trip of Mr.. Hughes He realizes the situation.
He feels that he win these men. and that
is to be his great object in his other tours up
the state.
