THE RICHMOND sUNTEEGRAM WEDNESDAY,

Worst of all Is this: When every
principle OF freedom and equality for
which our fathers fought was at stake
in the great war, when our whole
country eagerly awaited the leadership
OF the president. Wilson lodged. He
refused to take sides on the greatest
moral issue of our time. He advised
our people to be neutral even in
thoughtundecided between right and
wrong.
while our friends abroad were
lighting for the principles we held
equally with them he taught us that
profits and ease were better than
self-respect President Wilson has
done our nation the most serious in
jury that any leader can do to any
people. by making us finch with him
from great moral decision. There
by he weakened our hold as nation
on the principles which alone can
make any people self-respecting, safe
and strong.
Contradicts Former Speeches
Having led us wrong on the ground
that we must be neutral in the face
of the deliberate breaking Of the
worlds peace, he has just reversed
himself again, and in his speech at
Shadow Lawn now assures us that No
nation can any longer remain neutral
as against any willful disturbance of
the peace of the world
ut is bad enough that Wilson's for.
eign policy has left US, as the Euro
pean war draws toward its end. with.
out friend among the great nations
of the world and without the respect
of any one Of them. What Is worse,
is that he has kept us from standing
up for what we know to be right.
"The ignoble standard Of profit over
principle which Mr.. Wilson forced
upon the country in our foreign re-
lations he has applied to himself as
president. In what he has said, done.
and left undone the record shows him
steadily dominated by political exped-
iency.
Assaiis Wilson's vaciIlation.
These facts, and many others like
them, have forced me to see that what
Mr.. Wilson says Is no sign Of what
he has done, or OF what he will do.
The one thing his record shows is that
what he stands for now he is not like
ly to stand for long. l do not care
what his platform or his campaign
declarations may be, because the COM
mon experience Of us all has taught
US that to him they are simply 'molas-
es to catch flies
Hughes, on the other hand, Is a
man of his word. His record as COVER
nor of New York proves that. 1t
shows him to be honest, fearless, and
free from the domination of special
interests and corrupt politicians. So
far as the conservation policies are
concerned, both what he said and
what he did could hardly have been
better. am confident that under
him these policies will be safe.
HE is strong man who will dodge
no moral issues, and he will give us
an honest and an efficient administra-
ton.

Declaring. In the foregoing phrase.
his convictions and intentions In the
presidential campaign. Clifford Pin
chot. militant progressive, issued a
public letter yesterday declaring he
will work and vote for Hughes.
In view OF his record as an expon.
ent OF conservation and as foe Of
reaction and all that Ballingerism
meant during the last Republican ad-
ministration, Mr. Pinchots declara-
ton Is likely to attract as wide at.
tention among the Progressive and
independent voters as did the state
ment OF Raymond Robins in behalf OF
Mr. Hughes a few weeks ago.
Duty 10 Up to Citizens
1T Is the duty Of every American
citizen" Mr.. Pinchot says. to make
and support openly his choice among
the candidates for the presidency.
That duty Is especially solemn this
year because great events and great
decisions are certain to confront us
during the next administration.
II am neither a Democrat nor a
Republican, but Progressive. Yet,
there Is no Progressive nominee, un-
less I choose to support candidate
who cannot be elected, must vote for
either Wilson or Hughes.
For many months after his inau-
guration | thought we'll Of President
Wilson. In many respects / liked
what he said about what he was going
to do, He talked well and made a
good impression 1t was only when
began to check up what he said by
what he did that was forced to
change my view.
in the end came to see that Pres
ident Wilson has greater power
than any other man In public life to
say one thing but do another and get
away with it.
Says Wilson's Policy is Weak
THE facts which justify this state
ment are common knowledge,
I'VE have all heard him tell Ger
many publicly that she would be held
to strict accountability and have
learned afterward that he had act.
ually let her know secretly at the time
by the mouth of his secretary Of state
through the Austrian ambassador, that
what he said he did not mean. We
have all seen him prove that he did
not mean it by his total failure to
exact reparation. apology, or ever dis
avowal for the murder Of Americans
on the Lusitania.
II do not say that Wilson should
have thrust us into war There was
no need of war But there was need
OF courage to give us peace with self
respect. II Wilson had shown courage

NotaIies Liable to Fines.

New Orleans, Dec. 21.-Let-
tiers were addressed on Dec. Is
last. by Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Gamble to thirty-nine nota-
ries public whose names had been
furnished by Secretary S. F.
Mathews of the Charity Hospital
as apparently" having failed to
comply with the recordation act.
This act provides that where
notary fails to record the acts
passed before and by him within
forty-eight hours after he has
passed such act, such notary
mast pay a fine of $500 for each
offense of the kind, such fines to
go toward the support of the
Charity Hospital.
According to the number of
offenses of this character charg-
ed by Mr.. Mathews to the thirty
nine notaries public named by
him, the Charity Hospital will, if
it is successful in collecting the
total amount, realize two or three
times as much as was realized
from the Chit enterprise. The
total of fines which Mr.. Mathews
shows, should be collected from
one notary alone, is $12, 500. An
other notary, who might possibly |
scrape up $40, is alleged to owe
$40, 600 of fines of this character.
Some of the most prominent
notaries in the city, and lawyer
notaries are on the list of thirty
nine. 1t is said that the act
makes no allowance whatever for
legal holidays, or dies non, makes
no reference to such, in requir-
ing that all acts shall be recorded
within forty-eight hours after
they are passed. On dies non
the office of the recorder of acts
is not open; and further, it is
closed half day on Saturdays.

diII1lOullt, JdD. %, lJlO.
When | first announced as a
candidate for the office of Assess
or of Grant parish it was my in
tention to make a thorough and
complete canvass of the parish
and present my candidacy to each
individual in person. | have
found that it was impractical to
do this, on account of a great
deal of my time being taken up
gathering and marketing my
crops and sickness in my family.
Therefore | take this method of
presenting my candidacy for your
consideration.
have stated repeatedly that
If elected | will make a personal
canvass of the parish in making
assessments, or send a deputy
who is acquainted with property
values and competent to make a
proper assessment of your prop
erty, and | make this a pledge.
| belong to no political clique
or faction and am making this
race strictly on my own merits,
and it will be my earnest endeav-
or to make a fair and impartial
assessment, and in doing so l
shall be guided by the law of
right and justice between man
and man. The law fixes the du-
ties of the Assessor, and if elect
ed / shall track the law and dis
charge my duties fearlessly and
without favor.
For the benefit of some who
may not be personally acquainted
with me, will state that | am a
native of Grant parish and man
of family, and own a small tract
tract of land on which | make my
living. | have also held various
clerical public positions, among
them being deputy sheriff, depu-
ty clerk of court and deputy as
SCISSOR, and am fully competent
to perform the duties of the As
SCISSOR and keep the records in a
neat and systematic way.
| will endeavor to see as many
voters as possible between now
and January 25th, but should |
fail to see any in person l ask
that you make inquiry as to my
ability and give my candidacy ia
vorable consideration when you
go to cast your ballot.
Soliciting your support and as
surfing you that it will be appre-
ciated,

CONSCRIPTION AN
ESTABLISHED FACT

The startling information is fur
nished that consumption for the
United States army has been surrep-
titiously established through an ap-
parently innocent clause in the Hay
Chamberlain law. The clause is as
follows:
IF for any reason there shall not
be enough voluntary enlistments to
keep the reserve battalions at the
prescribed strength, a sufficient num-
Der of the unorganized militia shall
be drafted into the service of the
United States to maintain each of
such battalions at the proper
strength. AS vacancies occur by
death or other reasons, these officers
shall be made from the reserve"
And now the claim is put forth that
the term "unorganized militia" means
every able-bodied man between the
ages of IS and 35. In Ohio there
have not been enough voluntary en-
listments, in spite of the hurrah about
preparedness, to make a required bat
talon, and the menace of conscrip-
ton is held over citizens who exercise
their moral right to stay out of the
army.-From the Public.
