Mr.. Hughes Speech.

To the independent voter Mr..
Bughes' speech of acceptance
will be a keen disappointment.
His attack on President Wilson'S
Mexican policy is carried to ex
tremes, while his criticism of
the Presidents diplomacy with
European nations is in some re-
spects overdrawn. He under
takes to make these two subjects
the principal issue of the cam
paign, an undertaking which in
the end may not prove good
policy. AS regards plots against
foreign nations and national pre-
paredness, his utterances are
Rooseveltian as far as he dare
make them. probably in the hope
of catching the Progressive vote.
If Mr.. Hughes had discussed all
these subjects frankly but mod
erately, as he did several ece-
nomic questions, the independ-
ent voter might have been able
to get more out of his speech.
Mr.. Hughes disclosed such in-
tense partisanship, however, that
much he said may safely be
ignored by his Democratic oppo-
nent,-The Grit.

Along?

OF course it should! For after a
strenuous day when your muscles have
heen exercised to the limit an applica-
ton of Sloan's Liniment will take the
soreness and stiffness away and get
you in fine shape for the morrow
You should also use it for sudden at
tack of toothache, stiff neck, back
ache, stings, bites and the many acct
dents that are incidental to a vaca-
tion. "We would as soon leave our
baggage as 60 on vacation or camp
out without Sloan's Liniment;"
Writes one vacationist: "We use it
for everything from cramps to tooth
ache" Put bottle in your bag, be

Our New Possessions.

1t is the concensus of opion-
ion in Washington that the
United States should buy the
Danish West Indies and it seems
to be the settled policy of the
Administration to do so if it is
possible. The price that is ask
ed, 100000, seems to be
large enough-in fact exorbi-
tAnt-but the need is imperative
if we are to properly safeguare
the Panama Canal. The follow
ing epitomized facts will be of
interest at this time.
The Danish West Indies con-
sist of three islands, Saint Croix,
Saint Thomas and Saint John.
The islands embraces total
area of 1873 square miles, with a
population of 31,786.
The chief industry is t he cul
tivation of sugar. The islands
trade is chiefly with the United
States and Denmark, and con-
sists almost entirely of sugar and
rum.
The inhabitants are mostly
negroes, only the official element
being Danish.

No one in France, Russia, or
Britain expects to reach the
Rhine or the Oder this year. 1t
is doubtful it there is any gener-
al hope in Allied capitals that
Belgium can be liberated before
snow flies. The Russians do
not expect to approach Cracow
or Posen, probably not to re-
claim Warsaw or LODI, before
the year-end.
The utmost that the Allies
hope is that France may be
freed of German troops between
the Mouse and the sea, that the
German hold upon Belgium may
be shaken, that Austria may
have to surrender more of Ga

clearly the ultimate outcome of

We are at Lthe beginning of
