WASHINGTON, D. c., February g.
Governor Hughes has made his speech
President Roosevelt has also made one.
All official Washington is in a polit-
ical hubbub. Congress, after a placid
session of two months, is stirred to its
very depths. Republicans are asking
one another in the language of the IA
nous Georgian, Where am at"
1t all happened of a Friday. Much
more happened than was expected.
The people who expected to exult are
not exactly exulting. They are recon
noitering the ground. The situation
has been greatly complicated and there
is something more than q larger
growth of the Hughes boom for the
Presidency.
For Governor Hughes made his
speech before the New York Repubh-
can Club, as scheduled. He declared
himself definitely on a number of is
sues, which presidential candidate
should do. He rose to the occasion, as
he generally has done ever since he
came into the public eye. He is for
mally in the presidential race. His
views as declared at that meeting are
not essentially different than the
views of President Roosevelt ON labor
and corporation issues. Only Govern
or Hughes was more moderate in his
language. He did not abuse or in
flame. He stated his position in calm
words, and exc praised
the work of Theodore Roosevelt as
President. In one respect he went
ahead of President Roosevelt. for he
put himself on record as favoring inn
rather than fines for rich
The speech measured up to the oc-
casion, but Washington has been able |
to give it little attention thus far. The |
politicians won't talk about it. They |
are in a daze over the special mes
sage that President Roosevelt fired |
over to Congress. They won't talk I
about the message for publica ton, but !
they say all sorts of things about it
n the cloakrooms and in the House
restaurant. By that is meant the Re
oublicans. The Democrats like the
iieSSdSe. 1uSy say II was not StQH-
They appIauded it in the House to the
echo and the following night William
Jennings Bryan, the Peerless Leader,
while in Delaware endorsed it. Hence
he Republicans seem to be in a sorry I
blight indeed. They do not know just
what they are going to do.
The special message, which came out
few hours before Governor Hughes
7as scheduled to speak, contained a {
ot of things. There was a reiteration {
f much about corpora ations that the
President has already said more than
nee 1t was full of stinging adjec- {
ives. 1t was written with a pen !
ipped in vitriol But he pressed anew
or much OF the legislation that Con- ]
ress has not given. He asked for re-
trictions on labor injunctions. some
hing along the line of what the labor I
rganizations have been asking, al 7

Arabian Hypocrisy.

Writes a traveller: "The noblest and
the basest Arabs are agreed that to
obtain as quickly as possible all the
available cash they can lay their hands
on is by no means degrading. But
even here subtle dialectic comes into
play. The Arab must always have
right on his side. for in studied and
complex hypocrisy he has nothing
to learn from us. If an Arab would
rob his guest am speaking from per-
sonal eXperience-he will first talk at
length on the subject of honor. hospi-
tally, and so forth. He will gradually
work the matter round as to why you
are travelling. throw out suggestions
that spies, enemies and intruders can
not claim hospitality, suggest that he
himself is poor, question himself as to
whether he ought not to detain you as
n prisoner, again state that he is in
want, and thus shift from blackmaii
to cajolery and from gentle requests
to threats, until he has eXtorted a
sum of money which in his curious
brain he might describe as the least he
could accept with honor or the most
he could extract without danger to
himself"
