Opportunism has claims that every
statesman must respect. But never
has there been an opportunist in the
White House of greater willingness
to change than the present incumbent.
The country feared it had placed pow
err in the hands of a doctrinaire school
master incapable of bending. 1t finds
that it has a man of remarkable plas-
ITCHY of judgment, who one moment
stands for states rights and the next
for nationalism, who n day is a pa
cifst, and the next is out-shouting Col.
Roosevelt for arms and ships, who one
week is for a barren neutrality and
the next for war in behalf of general
righteousness, who n night is for
collective wage bargaining and arbi-
tration of industrial disputes and the
next is waving the flag of %decreeing
wages up or down as the votes of the
larger number can be controlled

When Mr.. Hughes criticises the rec
ord of the Administration the spokes-
men of Mr.. Wilson cry: "What would
you have done?" They forget that 1t
is Mr.. Wilson and not Mr.. Hughes
who is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
Mr.. Taft and MI. Roosevelt through
out the campaign and that Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
spective records, instead of crying
"What would you have done?' They
forget these things or they refuse to
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record of the Admins
tration and induce the people to fol-
low them down ssme by-path Of rhe-
torical hypothesis, all in the effort to
change the subject.
"By their fruits We shall know
them" When Mr.. Hughes was Gov
ernor of New York he did not pay
political debts by filling the public
offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudiate them after
he entered office. AS Governor, he
did not resort to brave and beautiful
words as a substitute for firm and con-
sistent deeds. He was careful in his
use of words but he backed his words
with deeds. He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not a
rhetorician, he was not a fiatterer, he
was o too proud to fight" for labor
or for capital, for the strong or the
weak, when the right was on their
side.
Mr.. Wilson's spokesman seek to d.
vert attention from the attacks Mr..
Hughes is making upon the record OF
the Administration by asking him:
"What would you do?" they are un-
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
are recalling to the memory of the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms as Governor of New
York; 1t was then that he first said
public office shall not be a private
snap under my administration" and
made performance square with prom
Use. There is this about Mr.. Hughes
that makes him so different from Mr..
WILSON,: "Hughes means what he
says" So it is that the campaign is
really a contest of character between
two men, with sincerity as the differ
entiating and deciding factor.

FIERY WORDS.

"Direct violations of a nations SOW
e%reignty cannot await vindication in
suits for damages-the nation which
violates. those essential rights must be
checked and called to account by dt-
rect challenge and resistance
From Woodrow Wilson's speech ac-
cepting the Democratic nomination for
presidency.
BUT
The American flag is still unsaluted
at Vera Cruz.
Villa is still uncaptured and unpun-
ished.
Carranza still slaps the United
States.
There still has been nc accounting
for American lives and property de-
stroyed in Mexico.
The whole question of reparation for
invasion of American rights by vari-
GUS warning nations is still sleeping
in a ~pigeonhole.
AND
All the "direct challenge and resist
ance" noticeable to the average Ameri-
can is included in a series of notes
said to possess high literary quality, If
nothing else in particular.

DECLINED TO PERMIT a
SQUADRON TO DEFEND
AMERICANS.

At Tampico there was a gen.
eral movement of attack by the
Mexicans on Americans and
other foreigners. We had a
squadron of American w~arships
in the neighborhood. The VIII
son Administration declined to
permit this squadron to be used
to defend the lives of American
men and the honor of American
women, and the commanders of
the German and English ships
at Tampico had to step in and
perform the task our represen-
tative had so basely abandoned.
At the very time that the Mexl-
can mob had surrounded the
building in which the Americans
had taken refuge, and was howl
Ing for their blood, the Amerl-
can fleet, in spite Of the pro-
tests of the American naval
commander, and in accordance
with wireless orders from WASH
inqton, was forced to steam out
of the harbor and leave the Am
orleans to be massacred by the
Mexicans, or rescued by the
Germans and English.-From
the speech Of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, delivered at Lewis
ton, Maine, In behalf of Charles
E. Hughes.
