with his gavel and assumed the
office of permanent chairman OF
the Democratic National Con.
vention at Baltimore, June 81.
1912 Househoiders at that time
were paving five and q half cents

no one has reported It's purchase
at the retail price OF three and a

Democratic bunk. lust why Mr.
James should have emphasized
his antipatliy to the sugar duties
in a speech OF acceptance of the
national chairmanshrp. it was
reserved for later developments
to discover.
When the Democratic Congress
took up the Underwood tariff

ed the President that sugar

Wilson snapped his fingers and
Congress jumped to his bidding

sugar was to many OF the Demo
cratic Party. This is the party,
by the way, which announced IN
the 1912 platform: i've elieve

ance III their full strength and
integrity of the three coordinate

Justice Hughes
not taCandidate
for President.

IN No''N'ihNo bicN W
Justice Hughes as possible Re-
publican candidate for the Presi-
deIcy next year does little credit
to either the party or to Justice
Hughes. The justice was thought
to have definitely removed him
self from the field OF active politics
tive years ago when he accepted
an appointment to the bench,
and there is evidence. in writing.
over his own signature that lie
continues so to think. In a letter,
addressed tofriend i'll New )eis sey,
Justice Hughes has made it clear
that he regards his acceptance Of
a judgeship AS a lie contract Tor
a specialized field of labor from
which it would be improper for
him to retire, from which he does
not intend to retire, and in which
his service might be seriously di-
mihihsed in value if there is con-
tinued discussion of him AS a can
didate for political Office.
No one Will doubt Justice
Hughes's fitness TOR the Presrd-
ency. No one will question the
enthusiasm which his candidacy
would arouse. But this is not
the point. He has undertaken to
devote his lite to the interpretat-
ion OF laws, not to their execut-
ion; and. as balanced against one
or two terms in the White House,
he sees in this by far the larger
opportunity for service to his
fellow citizens. He made this
choice deliberately, FIVE years
ago. He still adhrrrs to it. Ard
whoever seeks in any way to put
pressure upon him from polite
al standpoint does, AS we have
said. no service to Justice Hughes.
On the contrary, such course
tends to call the Justices sincerity
into question; and, though in
tended i'll a spirit of admiratio
is, III rea lity, a mark of fdisrespect.
Furthermore. it does not bene
TIT the Republican party. We
have never been in the habit of
ravishing the.Supreme bench for
our presidential candidates-and
there is no pauc1ty of candidates
to inipel MS to begin such action
now. The Republican nominal
ION tor next year is not going
begging. Nor are we, like the
Democrats. forced to take one
only as our standard bearer.
More than a dozen men, now
favorite sons of their own com
munlties, will enter the Convent
ion. One of them will emerge as
the favorIte son of a united and
triumphant party. He will be
worthy of the honor. And when
we have nominated him and

that we have not impoverished

in the country to meet the demand is nbOt questioned, but the difficulty arises in getting them and these short jobs together. Such work does not offer much of an attraction to the man out of a job a thousand miles away, especially if he has others who are dependent upon him. It is simply a temporary job which offers no encour- agement in the way of steady work.
 In an effort to bring about an im- provement of such labor conditions there has been organized By the agri- cultural boards of dozen central and western states what is known as 8 National Farm Labor exchange, the purpose of which is to recruit harvest hands, place them in the wheat fields of Texas the last of June when the harvest season opens there and stead fly shift them through the west and north keeping pace with the maturing crops until all are gathered in. It will be of great assistance to the farmers if 1t works out successfully and to the other sections of the country where the farmers are experiencing difficulty in securing help it furnishes an idea which might be adopted for the solu- tion of what is at the present time matter of much annoyance to the employers of farm help.

Such course would have been taken by the Leipzig had it been possible to haul down its ensign. Inability to do SC caused the sacrifice of hundreds of lives which might better have been saved

There's a certain kind of cheerful ness, Laura, that disturbs my com- posure," remarked the young woman in the extreme small hat as she poured a cup of tea for her friend. T SUD- pose one should admire people who can be joyous under all circumstances, but I sometimes think that such a frame of mind is almost idiotic. You remember the story of the old woman who attended the hanging of her hus- band and when the ceremony was over said snilingly that she was ever lastingly thankful he wasn't a blood relation? We'll. my Aunt Mary re- minds me of that woman.'
 How awful! In what way?"
 Because Aunt Mary's optimism is of that type. To be truthful, I asked you to meet me here so that l could tell you about her. I needed a safety valve! 1 simply must tell somebody!
 You know that our little hospital in Iindenhurst has never had a real ambulance and about two years ago the idea of getting one took possession of Aunt Mary. and she has worked un- ceasingly to raise money for it.. don't believe there's one human being in Lindenhurst who is old enough to talk whom Aunt Mary hasn't inter- viewed on the subject, and our suburb isn't so small either. All this has meant a prodigious lot of work. She has started penny savings among the children and asked the maids in town for weekly nickel contributions. and of course requested help from other citizens in proportion to their means. And, as for entertainments, she has simply glutted Lindenhurst society with picnics, dances, amateur theatri- calls, tab1eauX, lectures, spelling bees, basket sociables, old tintype exhibi- tions and every other kind of money raising affair known to civilization.
 T have impersonated the Goddess of Liberty, Little Eva, Hypatia, Elm incline Pankhurst and Mrs. Langtry, and been doorkeeper and dishwasher in the cause of the ambulance fund until am almost ashamed to look my fellow suburbanites in the face.
 T had thought that if the great work was ever achieved a blessed peace would descend upon me. I've been looking forward for months and months to the day when the words ambulance fund could be honorably dismissed from my vocabulary. But my hopes are dashed"
 How so? The ambulance has been bought
 "Yes, week ago. If Aunt Mary could have been persuaded to be con- tent with the horse ambulance it could have been bought a year ago but she scoffed at the mere suggestion. I SUD- pose she was right; it would have been foolish to buy anything but the very latest and best, after all her efforts and she made me quite ashamed of having been such a weak sister as to suggest that we take the old-fashioned ed ambulance that was offered us for the sum we had on hand.
 "fNever,' declared Aunt Mary. When an ambulance is needed it's needed in a hurry. and who wants to poke along behind horses to the hospital? If you I must go to the hospital, you usually

GREAT RRITAIN's BLOCKADE.

The making public of the measures which Great Britain has decided to adopt as a means of reprisal aga1nst Germany indicates that it plans to do inst about what was expected. IL intends to accomplish what would be nossible under a. blockade established in accordance with international law, but without taking that dangerous step. It proposes to establish a new method of accomplishing blockade re- suits without actually maintaining a strict blockade.
 Such may be regarded as tat for tit as far as Great Britain or the allies and Germany are concerned, since Great Britain may feel Justified in using most any method for combat ting the submarine policy which Ger many announced, but it is the part which the neutral countries must play in such infractions of the rules Of in- ternationaI trade, which concerns the outsiders.
 It Is to be recognized that Great Britain has indicated @ much more satisfactory attitude towards neutral commerce than did Germany when 1t warned all merchantmen to keep out of the way or take the consequences. but there is manifested in both a lack of proper regard for the interests of other countries which are not concerned in the war. Germany recognizes this when it agrees to aban- don its plan, if this country can get Great Britain to compensate for it by letting up on its policy of keeping foodstuffs out of the fatherland.. Great Britain when it answers such a prop osition by tightening the blockade rec ognizes the respect which is due to the neutrals, through promises not to harm the crews or destroy vessel or cargo of neutra1s which do not con- tain contraband, yet in both cases the rights of neutrals are being made to conform to the requirements of the belligerents rather than being upheld according to established laws. It Is this upon which the protests of this country are based.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
reak Legislation.

Mr. Editor: Although the legisla-
 tive machinery at Hartford may run
 smoothly and turn out desirable laws
 it is true that there is much freak
 legislation. Those who are inclined
 to the opinion that the Connecticut
 general assembly consumes a large
 part of it's time in the consideration
 of nonsensical propositions can ex-
 tract a drop of comfort from a. com
 parison of the above mentioned body
 with the legislative bodies of other states. For example an Oklahoma
 solon of unquestioned sagacity intro
 duced bill making straight beat a flush" in a game of poker, but his fellow members who have probably
 been more fortunate in drawing "fushes' than 'straights'' failed to
 grasp the desirability of the measure and 1t was uncermoniously and ig- nominiously turned down. A few years since a Texas legislature passed bill making it punishable by fine of $50 to play cards in ones own
 home on two successive nights. In the great state of New York, so often pointed to, and the statutes of which are frequently quoted in the halls of legislation. bills have been introduced making the African dodger game and | pie eating contests and the manu- facture of loaded dice illegal.

TREASURY DEFICIT,

While there is difference of opinion as to the cause and amount it is gen. orally agreed that there will be a def1- cit in the United States treasury as the result of the conduct of the coun- try's business by the democrats dur ing the past year. The figures how ever, show that the administration has recommended and congress has authorized expenditures on a larger scale than ever before, and but for the insistence by minority leaders upon the practice of economy the outlay would have gone far beyond the pres- ent figures
 Though Ioath to admit it, and with the war as an excuse for conditions the democrats know that the slashing of the tariff has resulted in tre- nendous falling off in. revenue. Some was of course expected, but that was to be offset by the income tax which not only failed to accomplish the task set for 1t, but was followed by an- other tax in which everyone partici- pates and yet the government has an Insufficient amount of money to carry on its business according to the scale get by congress
 Even though the war has had 8 cer- tain effect upon the country it can- not be made to shoulder the i'll effects of the tariff for revenue only policy which has been given a tryout and been found wanting. It has in many ways proved the benefits of protec- ition while the unwise economic pr!n- cip1es which this administration has been testing had a chance even before the war broke out and failed to make good. Now for the admission to be made that a deficit is inevitable after throwing away revenue and placing additional taxes upon the people, the unfortunate position in which the country is placed and the bad bus tness methods are glaringly set forth Is there any wonder so many are re- penting their action in November 1912?

Could Not Haul Down Ension,

A letter describing the story of the sinking of the Leipzig by the Glasgow off the Falkland islands. as told by Captain Luce of the latter folloWs:
 '-Fhe Leipzig fired her last shot and was ablaze inside. Her captain then ordered all hands on deck with their life belts on. They gathered in the
 waist of the ship, expecting an explo
 sion any moment. The halyard of the ensign was cut by a shot and the deck
 below was burning, also a storeroom directly under and around the mast.
 They could not haul down their en- sign, and one man who volunteered to climb the mast was burned to death. "The signal room was afire also, and
 the three green lights were discovered at the last moment in a box on deck. ! 50 there they stood, packed solid on | the deck, and the Glasgows last two
