With accurate perception of
the weakest spot in the record
lines of Wilson's Administrations
Mr.. Hughes drives hard at il i'm his
speech formally opening his con-
test for the presidency. That
spot is. of course. MIR. Wilson'S
dealings with Mexico, which may
he explained and also excused. but
which Mr.. Wilson'S most Jealous
advocates find hard TO Justify on
grounds OF beneficial results Sc
cured to the people of either
country.
But with all his vigor of attack
Mr.. Hughes sounds so far more
like a prosecutor intent on a con-
viction than like a statesman
formulating a constructive policy
which appeals to The general
Judgment as more likely to he
beneficial than ''watchful watt
ing with all its failures i'm fore
sight and logical Inconsistencies.
We search in vain for con-
crete statement of what Mr..
Hughes would have done had be
been in Mr.. Wilson's place and
under his responsibilities He
does not even affirm that he would
have accepted Huerla's accession.
without too nice inquiry into the
manner of it. as Mr.. Hayes did
that of Diaz nearly forty years
ago.
Only ON tho tariff and the Phil
ipnincs does Mr.. Hughes PROFOUND
an alternative policy, and then
only the historic republican poll
icy. He declares we should have
dealt with submarine outrages
otherwise than with brave ut
terances.' but does not say how
we could have done so unless
enormous military preparedness
had anticipated them.
However. this is only the first
speech of Mr.. Hughes campaign
We must assume that it is chiefly
ground clearing, and having
amply illustrated what he regards
as Mr.. Wilson'S errors of omis-
sion and commission Mr. Hughes
will proceed to set forth his plans
for doing things better if given
the chance. Having thus dealt
negatively with the problems and
issues Of the day he will doubtless
proceed to deal with them affirm
atiyely land will pass from crit
zeal analysis to constructive for

course if awarded the verdict in

solo.

/, introduced by MIR. Zimmerman in

Wise i'm getteing Mr.. Zimmerman

Morris q. Hindus. an exile from
/, Russia. gave a most pleasing adj
dress on the subject. as he termed
il. America. Russia and the
+, World. /" This makes his second
appearance in our city. In stir
ring words he held attention for
over an hour, depicting the actual
facts of the trouble j nthe foreign
lands TODAY. Not as we read i'm
tle papers. but inside truths that
are not for publication. During
his talk he said the ocean was no
barrier between America and the
foreign countries and that one day
thew would either lock their
hearts or they would lock horns.
The life story of the peasant OF
Russia was told i'm very unique
and unusual manner. He SAID
they did more real work for main
tenance of the state than any
other people i'm Russia. The
speaker gave fair version of the
f, war question in the old world.
ESPECIALLY i'm GERMANY. He thinks
that if Russia is victorious she
will for an allegiance as an alley
with Japan and there will be more

I'm one of his remarks he said
he was a true naturaliZed Amrrl-

kaiser as he had for his idiotic
cousin. the ear. He also said
never drop of blood would be
shed if the other countries would
make as many sacrifices for
worldwide peace as has Amer

a clear and distinct account OF
everything just as he knows il to

Next Wednesday and Thursday
A Wonderful Orchestra

LINCOLN PORTRAYED IN BIG EVENTS.
The first scene in the Birth of a
Nation" shows the war president sign
ing the call for IS, 900 volunteers. About
him are cabinet heads and secretaries.
After the deed was done he slowly
buried his face in his hands as If in
prayer. Another view of Lincoln's
character is exhibited in his granting
OF pardon. A mother dressed in black
tries TO kneel to him; he reads her pc
tition and sign pardon for the life of
her son.
After the Appomatox surrender the
leader of congress calls with propos-
al to deal harshly with the south for
its rebellion. ~ shall treat them as
if they had never been away" is Lin
coins gentle answer Then, two or
three days later. comes the awful
tragedy in Ford's theatre, when south

The CENSOR takes much satisfac-
ton in giving support tothe candidacy
of Mr.. Clarence II. Carter, and rec
commencing ia the highest terms, the
gentleman who received decisive
nomination for representative in the
legislature. 1t does this with the full
knowledge that Mr.. Carter has, all
his life, been in line with the progress
sive age, that he has always stood for
right things in local and general gov
eminent, that he is man of brains,
courageous and positive for what he
believes TO he right and just. His pri-
mary campaign slogan was for great
er economy in government, aud the
people will realize when his votes are
recorded in the legislature that he
meant just exactly what he proclaim
ed. MIR. Carter is man of the high
est -unassuming, plain and comes
from the ranks of the common people
He was born on a town of Kickapoo
farm and has lived in the neighbor-
hood of Readstown all his days OF for
w odd years. He secured the best
education that the common and high
school afforded in his younger life and
was for number of years strong
teacher in country and graded schools
of the county. Many times he has
been a representative on the county
board of supervisors, is its present
chairman, elected by unanimous vote
of the members because they knew
him to be possessed Of the requisite
ability, and it Is a fine testimonial TO
his character as a man and official
that practically every one of his as
sociates enthusiastically supported
him in his primary campaign for the
assembly nomination. The board
unanimously chose him as member
of the county highway commission, in
which work he has shown ability and
force. AS a longtime intelligent
worker on the county board Mr. Car
