 sooner had Justice Hughes
New Britain herald., 1916-06-16

1 handed in his letter of resignation ! from the Supreme Court of the United States than he adopted the popular
 tactics of the day. In his acceptance cf the republican nomination for the
 presidency he shot few uncalled for
 shafts at the President of the United States. He" attacked the Mexican
 situation as deplorable and the atti-
 tude of the Wilson administration as
 weak and vacillating' platitude
 that has gone the length and breadth
 of the land until people are heart
 sick and weary of its meaningless
 thunder. But Justice Hughes in his
 curt letter did not say what he would
 substitute for the Mexican policy.
 He did not say what he would have
 done had he been in Wilson's place
 and the problem left him by a pre-
 vious administration. Nor did he say
 what he might do, or try to do, if he
 wins out in November. Therein the
 former Justice holds true to form.
 He criticises; but he does not recom-
 mend He does not build up after
 tearing down.
 In the entire history of the nation there are but two administrations that went through greater periods of stress than the Wilson administration. Those were the years when George Washington and Abraham Lincoln held forth. It is doubtful even if Lincoln had more on his hands than Wilson has had to contend with. Where there was internal strife dur ing the Lincoln regime, the Wilson reign has been attacked from abroad and at home. It has been sub- nnarined, torpedoed, attacked by mines. by bomb and aeroplane. And vet it has withstood the storm. With the experiences of the past two years Woodrow Wilson should be able to handle affairs during another ad- n1inistration with the ease and eclat of a master used to all conditions He has gone through storms that would have totally demolished smaller craft Compared to Wilson's | term in Washington, the administra- tions of Roosevelt and Taft were 1 garden parties. The man who essays to take Wilson's place must be one of one used to the necessity cf looking ahead and establishing rather than one drilled in the art of turning to records of past performances and deriving therefrom examples for action. Justice Hughes 1n the Supreme court bench was oerforce called upon for research work In the White House in such times as these there is need for man who looks ahead. There is need for Wilson

WAR DEPARTMENT MUCH
D|SPLEASED OVER PLAN
Of Releasing Reformatory Boys
That They Might Become
GuardSmen.

Washington, July 29.-Oficials
of the War Department are aroused
because thirty-six reformatory boys
have been turned loose in the Stats
of Kentucky in orde- that they
might be recruited into the militia
and thus help fill up Kentucky's de-
pleted quota under the PRESIDENTS
call for troops.
A commOtion was created at TIE
War Department when newspaper
clippings making this announcement
were received. Major General Mills,
chief of the militia division, went
at once to the Office of Adjt.' Gen.
Mccain and brought the matter Off
cially to his attention. A high Off
cial of the War Department, who re-
quests that his name not be used,
gave the departments view of this
effort to fOist upon the army thirty
six convicts who were serving terms
for hOusebreaking and other crimes.
THE release of these men from
prison in order to palm them off b.
recruits in the army gives evidence
Of as low conception Of civic obi
cation as can be imagined" said ne.
I'VE have to fight all the time TO
overcome more or less popular De
lief that the army is a refuge for
thieves and crooks, and when the
prison board of a State deliberately
proposes to put thirty-six criminals
into the army in one bunch, it goes
a long way toward fostering this err
roneous idea of the army. The reg
ular army recruiting officers have
rigid instructions not to accept any
who have a prison record, and the
department is careful to see that
no such persons enter the army if it
can be avoided"
After consultation between de-
partment officials it was stated that
II any of the thirty-six have run the
gauntlet of the federal mastering
Offices they will be unceremoniously
discharged from the regular army
without honor. Furthermore, 1t was
learned that the action of the Ken
lucky Prison Board will be ventilat-
ed in Congress in a few days by a
member of the House, who has all
OF the facts at his disposal.

ARMOR PLATE MAKING.

For several months past there
have appeared in The Herald a Sc
ries of advertisements OF the Bethle-
hem Steel Company, a big corpora
ton engaged in the manufacture Of
armor plate. Their main idea seems
TO be to take the public into their
confidence and also engage the at
tention of Congress to prevent the
passage of bill now pending which
would create a Government manu-
factory OF armor plate. thus putting
the Bethlehem people out OF bust
ness. The Bethlehem managers are
very frank in their public statements
and make no attempt TO conceal
their attitude. They simply have
a -million-dollar plant which
they want to save and undertake to
prove that the Government would

Presidential Pointers.

At the twenty-fifth Presidential
election of 1884, the number of cleo.
toral votes had increased to 4Ol
from thirty-eight States. The Re-
publicans selected James G. Blaine
as their candidate on the fourth bal.
lot, with Gen. John A. Logan as the
candidate for Vice President. The
Democrats at their convention Sc
lected Grover Cleveland on the sec.
ond ballot, with Thomas A. Hen.
bricks for Vice President. The can.
didate OF the Greenbackers was
BENZ. F. Butler. while John p. St
John was selected as candidate fol-
the Prohibitionists. The result OF
the popular vote was the closest one
in history. Mr.. Cleveland received
4,S54.9S6 and Mr.. Blaine. received
+,S55,011. The electoral vote given
to Cleveland was 219 and to Blaine
1872. A change of about 500 votes
in New York State would have given
the election to Mr.. Blaine. These
votes We're undoubtedly lost by an
alliterative expression by DR.. Burch,

during the campaign used the words

eleven-million-dollar armor plate
mandatory to take its place. In
its argument the Bethlehem. Steel
Company makes the following pro-
posai:
I'VE now offer to reduce the price
of armor plate for the United States
from s425 to 1895 a ton.
THE price paid now.-s425 a ton
lis less than that paid by any great
naval Power.
ut is said that If our offer is ac-
cepted, and the Government plant
not built, the price of armor will
soon begin soaring
THAT there is no danger of any
such contingency. and as an earn
est of our policy
I'VE will agree to make armor at
the reduced price named for at least
five years; or
I'VE will agree for an indefinite
period to make armor at any price
winch the Federal Trade CommlS-
sion may name as fair"
To fair-minded people this seems
to be an honest proposition made in
good faith. The only excuse for the
Government investing S11,0OO,000
in an armor plate plant is the idea
of saving money. Government own
ed and operated institutions are usu
ally very costly and not always sue
cessful If Uncle Sam can clinch
the Bethlehem Steel folks down to
the proposition which they make. in
stipulations as strong as the stuff
they manufacture, it would seem the
part of wisdom and economy to sign
up such a contract.

ii is often said that a town or
community, in point of conduct or
progress, is just what it's citizens
want il to be. AS concrete propo-
sition this may be true, but it bears
analysis. Because a community is
infested with bootleggers who per-
sistently violate the law, is no GER
tain indication that a majority of its
citizens are in favor OF such trans
gressions. The majority is often
unable to put its wishes into effect
except in the passage of certain laws
which speak for themselves. A COM
munity cannot always be judged by
certain bad features which float on
the surface. The good people are
usually in the majority, whether
their wishes are carried out or not.
