Republicans Are Going
In To Win, Led By
Their Strongest Man

&k
Although it was not steam-rolled re-
4 sult, the Republican convention carried
out the enlightened will of the party's
leadership, which picked Justice Hughes
months ago as the one best hope of the
outs.
Roosevelt was too extreme in his pre-
paredness views and too recently a
bclter; Root was too reactionary and too
) actively linked with the rejection of
Roosevelt in Chicago in 1912; no other
fayorite son was of presidential size. In

I STEERING shadow of hope.
The delicate part of it was to put
1 Hughes across without appearing to OPP
\ pooe any other candidacy-not even the
rscreant Of four years ago, Roosevelt.
All the entrants were trotted out at
ths Coliseum; all got into the earlier bal
ot3ng; conferences were held with the
Rrogressives and messages received from
{ tie Prodigal who went into far country
politically four years ago.
There was no steam-rolling and no out
rolling of denunciations.
Then on the third ballot the nomina.
ti0n went to the unreplying Hughes and
summoned him from his position on the
. 1opreme bench.

]hypugh. The ever-present danger was
~ detection of Roosevelt who had de-

dumb before the nomination.
But the menace from that quarter is
SIeosening with the declination of the
Progressive nomination by Roosevelt,
"for the present"
The longer he halts between Hughes
and Wilson, the surer he is to renounce
the independent candidacy that would
mean the reelection of Wilson and the
closing of the door of the Republican

Clean Business.
1Y DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1915. by Frank Crane)

Better than big business is clean bust
ness.
To an honest man the most satisfac-
tory reflection after he has amassed his
dollars, is not that they are many but
that they are all clean.
What constitutes clean business?
The answer is obvious enough, but the
obvious is exactly what we are apt to
overlook, and needs restating every once
in a while.
A clean profit is one that has also
made profit for the other fellow.
This is the most fundamental moral
axiom in business.
Any gain that arises from another's
loss is dirty
Any business whose prosperity de-
Ponds upon damage to any other bust
ness is a menace to the general well
fare.
That is why gambling direct or indi-
rect, is criminal, why lotteries are pro-
hibited by law, and why even gambling
slot-machine devices are not tolerated in
civilized countries.
When a farmer sells housekeeper q
barrel of apples, when a milkman sells
her a quart of milk. or the butcher a
pound of steak, or the dry-goods man
yard of muslin, the housekeeper is bene-
fitted quite as much as those who get
her money.
That is the type of honest, clean bust
ness, the kind that helps everybody and
hurts nobody
OF course. as business becomes more
complicated it grows more difficult to tell
so clearly whether both sides are equally
prospered. No principle is automatic.
1t requires sense, judgment and con-
science to keep clean; but it can be
done, nevertheless, if one is determined
to maintain his self-respect
A man that makes habit, every deal
he goes into. of asking himself, What
is there in il for the other fellow?" and
who refuses to enter into any transac-
ton where his own gain will mean dis
aster to some one else, cannot go far
wrong.
And no matter how many memorial
churches he builds, nor how much he
gives to charity, or how many monu-
ments he erects in his native town, any
man who has made his money by ruin
ing other people is not entitled to be
called decent.
A factory where many workmen are
given employment, paid living wages,
and where health and life are conserved,
is doing more real good in the world
than ten eleemosynary institutions.
The only really charitable dollar is the
clean dollar.
And the nasty dollar, wrung from
wronged workmen or gotten by unfair
methods from competitors, Is never mas
tier than when it pretends to serve the
Lord by being given to the poor, to edu-
cation, or to religion. In the long run
all such donations tend to corrupt and
disrupt society.
OF all vile money, that which is the
most unspeakably vile is the money
spent for war for war is conceived by
the laundering ignorance and selfishness
Of rulers. is famed to flame by the very
lowest passions of humanity, and prosti-
tutes the highest ideal of men-zeal for
the common good--to the business OF
mutilating and killing human beings and
destroying the results Of their collective
work.
