But what the public wants to know
is whether Justice Hughes is the man
for the nomination in the present
crisis. They want to know where he
stands on the great questions of the
day. especially on the supreme one
which Colonel Roosevelt has so en-
phasized. They know Mr.. Hughes
very we'll as man and they esteem
him in many respects more than Col
onel Roosevelt. His sobriety II
thought and temperance of utterancc,
his rigity of principle and straight
forwardness of action are highly
priced qualities, which are worth to
him many thousands of suffrages and
would, indeed, insure his triumph II
the people assured that the views, tho
policies which he would support we're
those which are vital to the nation
at the present time. The question Is
not whether Mr.. Hughes is worthy
in general sense, but whether he
the voters on this point and not even
the colonel can stand against him.
But the country has no light upon
his attitude. lie has not spoken a
word, and his friends either have no
light to give or are restrained from
giving it. To US. it seems not really
fair to the people. It seems most IN
fortunate that perhaps the most suit
able man they could turn to in their
emergency is so yelled in mystery as
to his most essential principles that
voters are deprived of the opportuni-
ty of deciding nationally upon his
availability. Can the people be reas-
onably asked to pick a president in
the dark?
The new strength which Colonel
Roosevelt exhibits today is. as be-
tween him and Justice Hughes, al
most altogether the outcome OF ...e
latter's persistent shyness in reveal
ing his opinions. and If in the long
run the colonel becomes the Repul

not to be limited to an inquiry as to
whether he will accept the nomina-

question appears to us as superGu-
Gus as 1t is inadequate. Mr.. Hughes
has never said he would refuse the
nomination. He has carefully and
studiously avoided saying so, al
though he has most honorably and
in completest good faith declined to
be a candidate for the nomination.
The fact is, refusal Of the nomination
is unthinkable. Mr.. Hughes. If nom
mated, will accept.

HuGHEs. SPEECH A FAILURE

 Charles E. Hughes faced one of the biggest politl' eel assemblages in Seattle's history Tuesday night, delivered his campaign speech. and ignored the ten questions leveled him by the three dozen famous authors who asked him 10 be more specific instead of speaking generaites.
 The crowd cheered wildly Hughes statement that he wanted Alaska developed. and expected he would follow up that statement with a speclhc promise or what his policy would be- In that respect Hughes was rather disappointing. There isn't any one who doesn't claim an eagerness Go develop Alaska but how? That is the question.
 The Alaska railroad could well have merited def- nte reference. The Alaskan selfgoyernment question is another that might have been treated President Wilson gave Aalska It's greatest opportunity TOT ue yeopmen with his insistence that the Alaska railway be built and operated by the government It is charged that the enemies Of the government railway piah to wipe out its utility fl Hughes is elected.

M YoRK HERALD wEAKENINa

The New York Herald one Of the strongest supporters or Nr. Hughes in the country at the be- ginning of the campaign but it's enthusiasm is now dying down. The Herald news columns always tell the news as Herald writers sec it. regardless or whether things are going the way Herald editors would have them go or not For sometime these have reflected the drift toward Wilson They recently contained story which said that vice-Presldental Candidate Fairbanks does not expect to be elected.
 Now the Herald editorial coumne beginning to show dissatisfaction with the conduct of Mir. Hughes. It is demanding that he quit fautfindng offer the people something better than is offered by the candidacy Of President Wilson Recently it contained the following advice to Mir. Hughes:
 The Herald thinks Mir. Hughes is mak-

 "Sulzer made an excellent impression.

We know now that the chemists of our own Agricultural Department made cotton-stalk paper five years ago and also made paper of rice straw, corn stalks and broom corn. Paper we are told. can be mede of anything that contains celluloee and that means any sort of woody tissue but the trouble with all these papers that they too much to be sold in competition with paper made from spruce pulp. The problem therefore is to lower the cost of paper made from the by-products of the farm, and this is something which the experts do not seem to view with any very lively hope.
 The importance of finding some annual crop from which paper can be made is, however enough to stimulate chemical workers to go on. even though the difficulties appear great The supply of wood suitable for use in the paper industry less from year to year and trees are of slow growth.

As long as Alaska is a Territory. would seem Co us that the Alaska Road Commission. whose only purpose is to construct military and post roads in the Territory of Alaska should be held intact Col one Richardson has done much for the Territory He has tried all times to do what he believed for the best interests of Alaskans. Some people may disagree with his methods and some may believe that he has not done all that could be done with the money he has been allowed through the activity of the War Department But Fairbanks is but three day journey from the coast today, and the War Department has kept the Colonel at the head of the Commission for many years, advancing him for the work which he has done and this to us. indicate that there must be much merit in his work.
