Mr.. HUGHES
Those Who cIamored for His Views
Are Hearing Them.

Those friends of Democracy who
clamored so loudly for Mr.. Hughes
opinions upon current issues while
he still held the high Office of justice
of the supreme court, are now fully
answered by the private citizen, who
surrendered his judicial position to
accede to the wishes of a majority Of
the people as expressed through their
instructions to their delegates to the
Republican national convention.
Mr.. Hughes has not disappointed
those who have reposed confidence in
his character and judgment. In his
speech of acceptance he has clearly
set forth the vital issues upon which
the Republican party proposes to
conduct the campaign this fall. On
the platform he is telling the nation
wherein the present administration
has been at fault and what Is neces
sary to be done to restore the United
States to the place of respect and
honor to which 1t Is entitled In the
eyes of the world.

MANANA

Manana, which Is Mexican for
"watchful waiting" is the Democratic
keynote in the campaign. The Wilson
drive is to begin sometime" after
September 1; but no definite engage
ments have been made, 1t Is an
nounced, for him to commence making
political speeches. He has tentative
engagements to make some Western
visits about the middle Of September
but nothing positive. Plans are be-
ing formulated for carrying on a cam
paign to capture the woman vote Of
the country, but who will make the
speeches or this phase of the con-
.troversy has not been determined. 1t
had been expected that Mr.. Bryan
would speak in the Maine campaign,
but 1t is now believed he cannot do
SO. but will make ONE speeches later.
And so it goes. Watchful waiting
will prevail while, in the meantime,
Mr.. Hughes is carrying on a positive
campaign and arousing the entire
Western country.

HER HUSBANDS OFFICE.
A Story For Wives Who Just Drop In
During Business Hours.

"Will you please" asks a secret sut
ferer, write something about wives
who make unexpected calls at their
husbands Offices? | am not guilty of
anything, but | think that even the
most innocent of mel suffers acutely
when his wife visits him at his office.
There Is no way for me to make my
wife understand this unless l appear
boorish and brutal. Can't you say
something about it? Many wives read
your column"
Yes, friend, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. We will put 1t In the
form of general propositions. hoping
thereby to step on no individual toes.
We hold these facts to be proved:
That no husband ever wants his
wife to call on him at his office during
business hours, except upon his in
vitatfUn.
That no wife can know how she up
sets his routine, disorders the mental
processes that go on during those
hours and subjects herself to the Cos
sip of his Office mates.
That there is no easy way to make
a wife see this.
We proceed from these truisms to a
few observations.
A lovely creature breezes into her
husbands office just because she hap
pens to be passing. She says:
snow, don't let me disturb you a min
ute-I know you are busy. Dearie. what
good does that desk light do you at that
angle? Don't you know you will ruin
your eyes? What a mess your desk is
in! Look at Mr.. Of1cemate's-how neat
it is! Well. just let me stick this little
package in your lower drawer and you
bring it home with you when you come.
swell. 1 must run along. for you're
busy. Come out to the elevator with
me, dear; l want to speak to you.
Who is that disreputable looking man
who is waiting in the outer office to see
you? Why. it's a perfect disgrace to
have such callers.
you have an appointment with him?
How can you make an appointment
with such a creature? Well. goodby.
dear. Get your shoes shined before you
come home-you look awfully sloppy"
And If husband protests against that
call her eyes fill with innocent tears
and she says:
why, l wasn't there five minutes.
and you weren't working at anything
when l came in! And men call on you
and stay half an hour. OF course I'll
never come again. Are YOU ashamed
of your Wife,"

Mr.. HUGHES HAS EXPLODED THE
"kEPT-US-OUT-OF-WAR"
ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Hughes attack upon the kept
us-out-of-war" argument has aroused
a story of enthusiasm.
"Kept us out of war;" he demands.
"Why, there were nineteen men-good
American soldiers, shot down at Vera
Cruz, and many Mexicans were killed
by our men. That was war. More
over, 1t was a very ignoble war. I
have heard three explanations of the
Vera Cruz move.
'First, it was explained that 1t was
made In order to compel somebody
to salute the 1ag-somebody who had
insulted us. But the flag was not sa-
luted and has not been to this day.
Then it was said that the salute was
not what we sought, but to prevent
the landing Of a boatload of ammuni-
ton intended for Huerta. The ammu-
milton, landed, however, and 1t has
been shown that 1t reached Huerta
in due season without interference on
our part.
"When that reason was shown to
be %untenable, a third one-and possibly
the real one-finally was advanced.
1t was said that our seizure of Vera
Cruz was a move to compel the retire
ment Of Huerta. 1t seems possible
that this is true, although we had
promised the Mexicans that we would
not interfere in their affairs and told
them more than once that we wanted
them to handle their own affairs.
4That is why the Mexicans could
not understand us and that Is why
they show little faith In our promises"

name.
Sutton vane (now dead) was Brit

strong theatrical meat on both sides

stage craftsman-one who could build
up from familiar materials a play that
would hold an audience in virtue of
the power of a plot and the surpris-
ing sequence of striking situations.
The Cotton King in the play and
the film is a dominating character,
which, in the hands Of George Nash,
stands out clearly by reason of its
strength and Importance Mr.. Nash

certainty the action and the mentali-
ty Of the character.
A corner in cotton is attempted by
a number Of interruptions men in the
business, and John Osborne, the cotton
king sells out and makes money Be
coming the owner of some great mills,
