MAINTENANCE OF
 AMERICAN RIGHTS.

Had this government by the use of both informal and formal diplomatic opportunities left no doubt that when we said "striot accountability" we meant pro cisely what we said and that we should unhesitatinsly vindicate that position l am confident that there would have been no destruction of American lives by the sinking of the Lusitania. There we had ample notiee-in fact, published notice. Further more, We knew the situation, and we did not require specific mo- tice. Instead of whittling away our formal statements by equiv ooai conversations, we needed the straight, direct and decisive representations which every dip lomat and foreign office would understand. believe that in this way we should have been spared the repeated assaults on American lives. Moreover, firm American policy would have been strongly supported by our people and the opportunities for the de. velopment of bitter feeling would have been vastly reduced.-From Mr. Hughes Speech of Accept ance.

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE COST OF LIVING
 NOT KEPT

Our opponents promised to re duce the cost of living. This they have failed to do. But they did reduce the opportunities of making a living. Let us not for get the conditions that existed in this country under the new tariff prior to the outbreak of the war Production had decreased. bust. ness was languishing, new enter prises were not undertaken. in- stead of expansion there was curtailment and our streets were filed with the unemployed. What ground is there for expecting better conditions when the un. healthy stimulus of the war has spent its force end our industries and workingmen are exposed to the competition of an energized Europei

 ACCEPTANCE SPEECH.

We live in a fatefuI hour. In a true sense, the contest for the preservation of the Nation is never ended. We must still be imbued with the spirit of heroic sacrifice which gave us our country and brought us safely through the days of civil war. We renew our pledge to the an cient ideals of individual liberty of opportunity denied to none because of race or creed, of un- swerving loyalty. We have a vision of America prepared and secure; strong and just; equal to her tasks; an exempiar of the capacity and efficiency of free people. indorse the platform adopted by the Convention and accept its nomination.

DUTY OF THE ApMINlsTRA- TON TO STOP PLOTS AND
 coNsPIRAcIES.

We denounce all plots and conspiracies in the interest of any foreign nation. Utterly in- tolerable is the use of our soil for alien intrigues. Every Amer. ican must unreservedly con demn them and support every effort for their suppression, But here also prompt. vigorous and adequate measures on the part of the administration were need ed. There should have been no hesitation, no notion that it was wise and polite to delay. Such an abuse of our territory de- handed immediate and thor, oughgoing action As soon as the administration had notice of plots and conspiracies it was It's duty to stop them It was not lacking in resources.

The years roll en- In eeaseless sway
From month to month, from day e

Each minute earth 10 born anew
With hopes and aspirations true
And skies are always bright and blue
From June around to May.
No matter how the clouds may Iour
Through every day and every hour
The skies above are blue and bright:
Sun shines by day, the stars BY nigh,
And all things on this earth are RICH,
Where God alone holds power.
Last night, the old years course VA

Today a new year has begun.
The sun shines on each deW.decked

And fills our joy cup to the brlm.

intervals between the first note from Wash.

Austria had not continued her undersea war

The impression is ineffaceable that the Dual

first note was little less than laugh in the face
Of Secretary Lansing. The whole attitude of
Austria raises the question whether the Dual

The Advertiser regards the campaign which
has been carried on against the Leilehna Beer
Garden as an unfair campaign. 1t is true that
the manager of the place claimed some weeks
ago certain minor publication in Honolulu
was criticising the resort for purposes of
fblackmail, but this alleged activity was much
the least part of the movement to close the
,miscalled .'V Volcano House. =
The real campaign against the beer garden
was carried on by booze itself. There was
enough basis in the stories of rowdyism en-
gendered at the beer garden and of violence
conceived under; the influence of its wares, to
make it certain that from time to time Schofeld
Barracks would be given some exceedingly un-
desirable publicity. When the regimental
commanders decided the beer garden should
besclosed, there was no longer further room for
doubt that it was liability instead Of an asset
to the big army post.
