national life. He has pointed out
the corrupting influences that flow
from predatory wealth and from the
monopolistic enterprises which have
given unearned riches to the few,
who, by controlling great industries
OF the nation, have levied tribute
upon the whole country.
His warnings are entirely in har-
mony with the warnings which
Democrats have been uttering for
more than a decade, and | hope that
the Democrats in the Senate
and House will promptly challenge
the Republicans to meet the issue
presented by the President. There
ought to be enough Roosevelt Re.
publicans in the two houses to join
with the Democrats and insure
some remedial legislation at this
session.

We publish on another page a
synopsis of the Presidents message,
which in some respects is the most
remarkable message ever sent to
congress by chief executive of this
country. An unexpected increase
in our advertising space prevents
us from giving the text OF the mes
sage this week, but next week we
will publish in its entirety this
sledge hammer attack upon capital

Gov. Hughes has made a speech
defining his views on national ques-
tons. We are unable to say from
the extracts Of the speech read by
US where he stands on any of the
leading questions now uppermost in
the public mind. He has a string
on nearly every proposition favored
by him. A good way to determine
whether Hughes is all right or all
wrong is to watch the editorial col
umns Of certain newspapers known
to be owned by the Interests" If
Hughes is satisfactory to them he
should be unsatisfactory to the mas.
ses Of the people.

When Chancellor Day came to
that part Of the Presidents message
which spoke about Puppets who
m.vs as string is pulled" he had an
other bad half hour. The people of
this country understand Days posi-
ton perfectly. He is an educator
who has disgraced himself and his
calling by becoming corporate
puppet. He is a chattel whose SER
