Hughes Talk, to the Workers.

Mr.. Hughes has been going directly among
the workers Of the country to personally carry
his message Of hope and good counsel to them.
This week he has spent in great factory centers,
where he has talked to men in overails, present
Ing his views Of present-day problems in easily
understood terms Particularly he has defended
the republican principle 81 protective tariff, .
doctrine the men who work In the big iron mills
are especially concerned In. These men we'll
know what the end Of the war may mean to the
industry in which they are engaged. With the
free trade ideas Of President Wilson. expressed
in his Baltimore speech to the grain men, in ef.
feet It means lower wages for the workmen, or
shutdown for the employers
Over the whole labor situation looms the
shadow, Of the European war. This great con-
flict lifted American industry out Of the stagna-
ton into which it had been thrust by the Under
wood tariff, but the activity thus fostered cannot
be looked on. as other than temporary. With
the end Of the war will come conditions against
which we must be prepared. This is we'll under.

labor convention has delberated since the war
commenced but has taken some action against
the time when the war is ended, and America
will more than ever need protection against Eu-

Mr. Hughes presents the logic OF facts and
experience. The workmen should know in
which direction their interest lies. Their wages
and standard OF life have been established under
republican policies, and only 50 can be main.

Unfinished Business with Japan.

Notice has been served on the United States
that the coming successor to Baron Chinda as
ambassador for Japan is to renew Conversations"
with the secretary Of state as to the admission Of
Japanese to the United States on terms OF equal
ity with Europeans Our immigration and alien
land laws have been the subject Of Japan's grave
disapprova for many years. and serious dispute
was once avcrted through the Root-TakalIira
'gentleman's agreement" This did not end the
controversy, which involves point that Is rather
delicate for approach from our side.
The principle involved In our exclusion acts
is well supported, and is not in dispute Japan's
objection is to being classed with Chinese and
Hindus; the Nipponese set up to be Caucasian,
and claim full share OF the rights and eourtesics
extended to Caueasians by the United States
The claim brings in the chronological aspect OF the
case, which has so far gone against the Japanese,
all but their own investigators assigning them
place among the Mongos. Refusal Of the en-
ergetic little brown men to rest under the decision
Of outside authorities on the point Of racial quail
hcation makes 1t rather awkward for the United
States. Our declination to recognize the Jap as
blood brother has been carefully sugar-coated
so far, and so does not deter him from pressing
his demand. The aspiration Of the Japanese to
be considered white folks" is very likely to
break on the cold rocks Of western prejudice,
Our position on the question should not be a
serious obstacle to Japanese national ambition.
1t Is rather test Of racial htness Economic as
well as social reasons support opposition to free
admission of the Japanese coolie, who is scarcely
more to be desired than is his Chinese or Indian
prototype. s

This is Michaelmas day, or the fes-
tival Of st. Michael the Archangel.
The old English custom of eating a
loose on this day is said to have orig
mated with Queen Elizabeth's dining
on a goose, when the news was
brought to her of the defeat of the
Spanish armada, In consequence of
which she ordered one to be served
up every twenty ninth day of Septem-
ber In commemoration Of that great
event. -A.

Greece will formally enter the war, after hav-
ing been informally and unwillinsly participant
for longer than year. This was inevitable from
the time Bulgaria cast its lot with the Teutonic
allies and assisted in putting Serbia to the sword.
The situation then developed left Greece but lit
tie choice. Cynical observers have suggested
that King Constantine, in his efforts to maintain
neutrality, was actuated more by family reasons
than humanitarian motives. The king did sue.
ceed, though, in holding in check those Of his
subjects who were eager to enter the war, and
has played pretty but losing game Of politics
with Venizelos. Declaring war on Bulgaria. with
Macedonia as pretext, will serve all the pur.
poses of the Entente Allies, may preserve the
kings standing in both Athens and Berlin, and
will get the Greeks as deeply into the trenches
as II the entire outside world were included in
the proclamation. The Scandinavians, Dutch and
Spanish are now the only European nations who
are not engaged in the great war. II they are
permitted to remain out II will be one Of the
further wonders OF the affair.

Giving the Whole Case Away.

Every intelligent man knows that the
eight-hour principle was not involved in the
dispute except insofar as it furnished basis
for an increase of wages.-The Tribune"
Every intelligent man knows that the eight
hour principle has no meaning except nine or
ten hours pay for eight hours work. When
did the eight-hour movement mean anything
elsei-New York World.
The New York World is the leading and most
powerful democratic organ in the country, all the
others in their pleas for democratic policies and
championship of democratic candidates being
merely followers and imitators. In this brief
paragraph the World gives the whole case away
as President Wilson has attempted to make 1t in
justification OF the Adamson force bill.
Every intelligent man knows" says the
World, that the eight-hour principle has no
meaning except nine or ten hours pay for eight
hours work." and it adds, when did the eight
hour movement mean anything else" .
Then the president is wrong when he pretends
that this is question of reducing the work day
to eight hours, for every intelligent man
knows" now that the law does not purport to cut
the working day Of any train man by an hour or
a minute, but merely to start his overtime pay at
the end Of the eighth hour.
u Then the president is likewise wrong when he
says the question involved is not arbitrable, for
every intelligent man knows" that the matter Of
wages-whether nine or ten hours pay shall be
given for eight hours work--can be and is regu-
larly determined by arbitration. y:,
II the wage increase law has no meaning, as
the World frankly admits, except ten hours pay
for eight hours work, then the presidents justi-
ication Of his action in forcing the bill through
congress without investigation or deliberate dis
cussion while the labor leaders held the. stop
watch, falls completely to The ground.

Calls 1t Poor Judgment.

Avoca, Ia, Sept. 2S.-To the Editor
of The Bee: The discussions In this
column are indeed interesting, from
the minute degrees of heat caused by
"Old Sors" rays to that of raising
babies on the incubator plan. The
certainty some correspondents feel on
the election of the republican or DEM
ocratic candidate are of more passing
interest. But ideas advanced for high
er grades of citizenship are always TO
be commended, and these are found
where a humane sentiment is adyd e
Gated.
In small town recently where con-
struction work required the drawing
of heavy loads, the writer observed
the need of humane officer. A
trained eye was not needed to observe
the team in question was ready to do
its duty. The incline over which the
load was being drawn was of an up
ward tendency. Another elevation
was reached where the last straw
nerve and fiber working to its ut
were stalled" within two yards of the
summit, when the weight of the load
drew them back distance Of about
thirty feet, when second effort was
made with similar result, and third
trial terminating likewise.
To gain point Of vantage the driv-
er mounts the load, where he can ap-
ply the lash In more vigorous man
ner than before, but courage was gone
and failure complete. Another team
was brought to the rescue. With such
poor judgment of some folks predom-
mating, 1t is believed correspond
ence school of common sense should
be started, eliminating laws and ordi-
dances that should obtain from such
sources, and 1t is hoped the world will
get better. T. l. H.

Seeing America FIRST

This is the season in years before the war
when the rush OF homeward-bound tourist travel
was most observable at the New York piers of
the transatlantic liners. It is now most observ-
able at Chicago, as the gateway between the
American east and far west.
The western railroads report the heaviest rec
reation and sightseeing travel ever known. It
has been crowdng the mountain and coast re-
sorts of the Pacific all summer 1t Is now taxing
to the utmost the eastbound carrying facilities Of
the transcontinental roads. Europe's former an.
nual harvest from American travellers Of near
$500 100000 has for once been turned back and
plowed in, and largely in the great far west.
The ancient in human experience and construc-
ton and destruction will always have charm
and an educational value appealing irresistably
to the native of the new world. The end Of the
war will sec resumption Of American travel to
Europe on perhaps a-greater scale than ever. But
this reversion Of that travel even for only a sea-
son or two to broadening view Of and acquaint-
ance with that mighty empire west Of the Missis-
sippi which d the product Of hardly more than
regeneration Of eastern pioneering and upbuild-
ing, must be Of vast national benefit.
