HUGHES Provision.

m HE plank in this years Republican platform
Il which declares for unified Federal control Of
transportation is formulation into party creed OF a
principle which the partys candidate has long es-
poused. In January 1908, Governor Hughes. speak
Ing at the Republican Club OF New York, said
u do believe in government ownership Of rail-
roads But regulation OF interstate commerce is es-
sential protect the people unjust discrimna-
tons and 10 secure safe adequate impartial
vice upon reasonable terms and in accordance with
the obligations Of common carriers. I approve the
extension of the authority OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission by what is known the Rate Bill
and believe that the Commission should have
the most ample power for purposes OF investi-
cation and supervision, and FOR making rules and
orders which will enable IL TO deal the fullest
tent possible within constitutional limits with inter-
state transportation in all its phases. This is a Just
policy The power Of Congress fix rates for inter-
ordinations and compel carriage upon reasonable
terms is undoubted The sole question is how It is
msnifesty impossible for the legislative body to make
that thorough examination of specific cases which in
Justice must precede action. The exigenoes of par
ticnar be met only by the panstaking con-
sderation Of administrative board. The alterna-
tive to that policy is either the abandonment OF legs

the influence Of agitation"

platform upon which he is a candidate for the Presi-

Now and November
(From the New York Sun.

The Suns efforts to make clear TO
all Americans the distinction between
patriotic loyalty and political allegi-
ance receive powerful assistance from
Mr.. Hughes. He states the case this
way in his admirable letter TO the
Progressive National Committee well
coming that party's cooperation in
the common cause;
"Unquestioning loyal and patriotic
support Of the Government is one
thing approval OF the fatuous course
which the Administration has follow
ed IA quite another"
The difference between the call of
duty now and the call of duty in No
vember now and the call OF duty in
November could not be expressed
more forcibly in so few words.
II is important for the nation
good that this difference should be
understood by everybody from ths
very beginning Of the campaign.
Il is all the more important because
the original purpose to urge Mr.. VIII
son for reelection on the ground
that "he has kept the country out OF
war" has probably been stultihed by
unexpected events Instead OF keep
ing the country out Of war he has
brought the country to the edge Of
war; and that unnecessarily. and fat
uously. as Mr. Hughes puts It,
Under such circumstances those

fortunates who were reckoning large

POSTAL NEFFCIENCY.

From the Boston Transcript.
New England need not plume her
self on being the only part Of the
country subjected by the Post Office
Department to poor mail-train service
and delayed and Indifferent delivery
of mails Similar conditions seem to
obtain throughout the country Here
is an instance from Lawrence county,
South Dakota.
The marketing agent for the apple
growers of the county worked up good
markets for the local product by a
thorough-going campaign Of advertis-
ing and soliciting His customers
were mainly small buyers in the sec
ond zone from his shipping point
The postofiice employees complained
that they were over burdened, and
entered objection to the agents use
Of the postoffice for delivery of the
fruit.
The Post Office Department there
upon ordered the routing Of parcel
post matter from the agents station
in such a way that it was carried into
the third zone, then twisted back for
delivery in the second Third-zone
rates were charged. The difference
consumed the margin of profit, and
the shipment stopped. The fruit grow
ers Of Lawrence county are without
a market for their crop. Enterprise
has been punished and an industry
destroyed

city or to the rural districts-he fndi

and conlemptuous service on the par

GOVERNOR GLYNN TO THE
DEMOCRATS At ST IOIIs


DEMOCRATS AT ST. LOUIS.
From the New York Sun.
In the eloquent and generally SEN
sible speech with which Governor
.Glynn opened the Democratic conven-
ton at St Louis there is at least one
statement that won't wash. We refer
to his hundred-year-hence statement;
when a hundred years look back
upon this gathering Of today. when
we who guard the ark Of American
covenant have become nothing but a
memory and a name, the principles
for which we declare in this conven-
tion. the issues for which we fight
in this campaign. will live in the lives
of generations of Americans yet un-
born"
Has our friend Martin H. Glynn
] lost his once active sense of humor?
How can he expect people to believe
that the platform declarations of the
st. Louis convention of 1916 will live
in the minds and vitalize the thoughts
and acts of the Democrats of 201G
when it is an indisputable fact thai
platform declarations Of the Balti-
more convention OF 1912 have already
in the short space Of four years either
passed into oblivion or gone to pro
test as repudiated obligations?
