Virginia to le additional offsets set anew the pr
cipal OF the debt and the interest, and hand down
the nsl decree containing the combinations to these
issues. The case was re-opened, offsets offered by
West Virginia allowed, and the principal Of the
debt reduced by millions. In this as in the prior
proceedings which involved the overriding Of West
virginias demurrer and the entering Of judg.
ment for the principal against West Virginia, Mr..
Hughes not being member of the court at either
Of these two times, the conclusions Of the court
were unanimous conclusions
There has been just as much lying and misrepre-
senting Of Mr.. Hughes in the Danbury Hatter's
case. He was not a member of the court when the
merits Of that case were passed on. The Supreme
Court never passed on the merits of that case Be-
sides, in the Danbury Hatter's case, the case was
lost by the boycotters in the lower courts before
jury, and the jury fixed the damages which the
guilty conspirators were compelled to pay.
There may be an excuse for ignorance on the part
Of some men as to the history of these two cases
but that is not an excuse that Senator Chiffon can
offer. 1t is plain lying with him, and deliberate
attempt to deceive the voters whose support he is
asking, but whose support he is wholly unworthy
of receiving.

THEY LOOK INVARIABLY TO THE

FORM Also that they have nothing to say in criti-
clsm OF Judge Robinson as a man or as Republi-
can There is reason for this
They dare not attack the Republican platform,
because they cannot safely or successfully do so.
They dare not attack Judge Robinson for he is in
vulnerable both in his private character and his
public record. They dare not refer to the Demo-
cratic platform, because it contains nothing but
negation and petty criticism. Hence, the backward
leaning Of the Democratic editor and orator. He is
left the necessity of picking out some minor Incl
dent which he distorts into an issue. BY following
this narrow and reckless method, Mr. Cornwell has
fallen into much embarrassment. His irreconcil-
able statements his utter disregard for the
lions which ordinarily are observed by the public
speaker, has revealed him not only to the Republi.
cans of the state, but to his own party as a man
who trifies with the truth, as a mere demagogic
office seeker, no better worse with no more nor
no less to offer than has been the offering of Dem
ocratic gubernatorial candidates ever since the
days of MacCorkle.

Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
ONLY ONE COURSE FOR AMERICA


From the Pittsburg Gazette.Times.
A new attempt Is under way to fas-
ten upon Mr.. Hughes the odium of
pro-Germanism. Despite that the Re.
publican nominee for President has
made as plain as possible that he has
no understanding or intrigue with any
foreign interests and stands squarely
for the United States alone, the vii.
son partisans persist in slandering
him. Their course may be attribute.
BILE to ignorance, or 1t may be prompt.
ed by mailce, or It may arise merely
from over-zeal in defense of Mr. vii.
son. who. unfortunately, stands SO
much in need of defense. But no fair.
minded, patriotic American can be
deluded into the belief that MIR. Hugh.
es would raise any other country
above his own; no more does anyone
believe that Mr.. Wilson would do SO.
But with all that, the attitudes Of the
two men are very different and when
these are analysed 1t is found that tho
course OF safety, OF dignity, of self
respect Is the one which Mr.. Hughes
pursues, while that chosen by Mr..
Wilson Is just the reverse. Mr.. Hugh
es has regard for principles; Mr.. vii.
son concerns himself with degrees of
offenses. Mr.. Hughes would uphold
the rights and honor of the United
States in every case; Mr.. Wilson Is
resentful Of only some invasion OF our
rights. MIR. Hughes would hold a for.
eign state accountable for interior.
ence with our mails and commerce;
Mr.. Wilson Is willing to let that so and
make plain his displeasure only il
American lives are taken in u particu.
lar way. Mr.. Hughes is for America
all the time; Mr.. Wilson believes
there are limits beyond which Ameri.
canism should not assert itself.
It Is as certain as that night fol.
lows day that when Mr.. Hughes is
President whatever there is of hyphen.

Will stand for the rights of Americans
at all times and against all aggressors.
Under him we will become strong in
world affairs because his self.respect.
ing course will compel the respect OF
other nations; under Mr.. Wilson we
are weak because we do not assert our
own rights. AS 1t Is, we are playing
the worm and that II persisted in can
lead only to extinction Of war. For II
