Gently found in the Chuquaiguillo mines, near La

Tin ore from Bolivia is now being smelted for

this ore.
China is building LOO miles Of modern rail

BY VANCE MCCORMICK,
Chairman Of the Democratic National
Committee.

The people didn't take kindly to Con-
didate Hughes's depreciation of their
abundant prosperity when he said they
were living in fools paradise"
They resented the suggestion.
The farmer, who is getting more for
his products and the wOrkingman, who
is receiving better pay than ever be-
fore. were displeased to have the Re-
publican Presidential candidate liken
their happiness and contentment to a
fools paradise"
So Mr.. Hughes has not offended
again in this direction, and his man.
ayers discreetly have refrained from
likening our permanent prosperity to
fools paradise" They now call it a
transient Eldorado." and joyfully as
sert that with the close of the war
will come an end to prosperity"
Prosperity Ranl<les.
The prosperity Of the American
people is a thorn in the side, of the
Republicans. Ignoring the Roosevelt
panic Of 1907. when the mills were
idle, commerce at a standstill and an
army Of unemployed, presented
pathetic picture. the Republicans claim
a copyright on prosperity.
1t Is beyond their restricted vision
to see how anything can succeed I'm.
less a Republican president sits in
the White House. That is why they
have been unable to view our present
prosperity in the proper perspective.
They have deluded themselves so long
that 1t is impossible for them to be-
lieve their own eyes.

An Of these make for

restraint and character. An of these make Tor
religion"
Few undergraduates Of our acquaintance
have that conception Of the game. Indiana goes
into a game to beat Purdue. and Yale wants to de-
feat Harvard Every game develops sportsman
shin. but we doubt if three months of football will
make disciplined, self-restrained man of char
acter out of rowdy and tough. If he is coarse
grained by nature it will take pretty stiff disci-
pine administered by stern coach to keep such
a player from using rough tactics on the field. A
football player with good character has that spir-
itual attainment before he donned the moleskins.

Here Are Both Sides
of National Campaign
BY WILLIAM r. WILCOX,
Chairman Of the Republican National
Committee,

The campaign of humbug, pretense
by the Wilson administration and its
political managers, reached its climax
Thursday night with the issuance at
the War Department by Mr. Baker,
Secretary of War. Of his astounding
statement. This charged that some
unidentified persons were plotting a
new Mexican outbreak before election
day 'for the purpose of turning the
tide of sentiment" against Wilson.
The Same Baker.
This is the same Baker who, ten
days ago. in Jersey City, likened the
heroes of '76 and Valley Forge to the
bandits of Villa and Carranza. This
statement, and the comment on it of
Administration officials today, throw a
wi.ite light upon the INSCRIPTIONS
political course of the Wilson admin
istration and it's managers in this cam
paign.
Only one Interpretation of the state
ment was possible, and that was that
Mr.. Baker was charging the political
opponents of the Wilson administra-
ton with plotting active treason. 1t
is incredible that Mr.. Baker had any
other purpose in mind than that when
he issued the statement.
If Mr.. Baker. or anybody else in
the Administration has information
justifying such a charge, it his sworn
duty to lay it instantly before the
proper law officials and proceed to
hale the traitors before the bar of JUS
tice. If Mr.. Baker does not do that,
he Is violating the Constitution and
the laws Of the United States.
