MIR. Hughes on the Stump
From the New York Sun.

The governor" that is to say the
Republican candidate, for president,
may have been asleep, as the people
of Grand Forks were told when they
came to the railroad station at 1885
o'clock a. m. to welcome Charles
Evans Hughes; but what a live wire
the man is in his waking moments!
He touches no public question but
what there is shock in the White
House II is trite, and generally I'M
true, to say of a political speaker that
he electrifes his audience, in the
sense that he moves it profoundly, ami
mates and inspires it; but that is
what Mr. Hughes does, and with no
tricks of the platform.
When the Republican candidate said
at Fargo; "Td like to have the au-
thority to investigate this administra-
ton for about six months" every
auditor was thrilled and the impulse
to cheer could not be resisted. Why?
Because every one recalled the search
ing, analytical ability with which Mr..
Hughes had conducted certain in
vestigation in New York city when
he won his spurs, and the feeling was
that he was altogether too modest in
wanting six months to show up the
Wilson administration, that he would
tear it to tatters in much less time
and leave not a shred Of its reputa-
ton. So that Fargo audience rose to
cheer Charles Evans Hughes with ex-
ulting shouts.
Another example of the Republican
candidates power to stir men and
make them think was his exposition Of
the statement made to the same audi
ence. Organized Why, everybody
thought America was rather famous
for the organization Of Its industries;
Furthermore, would be in an enviable
position to compete with its impover-
ished trade rivals after the great war.
But MI Hughes, who had gone deeper
into the matter, pointed out that those
rivals were going to profit by the dis
cipline they had been subjected to and
by the lesson Of cooperation they had
learned. He predicted that the nations
now at war would take up the enter
prises of peace with a formidable eff
ficiency' Of purpose, And he then
made the application;
do not imagine that the United
States, undisciplined, somewhat be-
numbed by the prosperity incident to
the war itself, lacking in training and
in proper organization, can address it.
self to the problems Of the twentieth
century with the wastefulness and dis
regard Of business methods that have
characterized the government in the
past"
Mr.. Hughes had driven his point
home, He gave his audience some
thing to think about, and it knew that
he was right. The sliDShod methods

Latin phrase, Non diminCare est

explain away Mr.. Wilson's statement.
But the trouble is that the Latin

Itransalations. Now the sayants are

translations. Certain Of Senator
Lewis's low-browed colleagues insist

the words he used. but that he really

this explanation, doubtless, being
based on an appreciation OF Mr.. VIII
sons realization of the country's un-
preparedness, When all the CirCum-
stances are recalled, however, there
Is really no reason to doubt that Mr..
Wilson meant precisely what he said.
In this connection it may be recalled
that after mis- resignation, Secretary
Bryan declared, on public platfornf
that his assurance, given the Aus
tram ambassador, that President VIII
sons vehement note to Germany was
mot to be taken too seriously" was
given the ambassador by President
Wilson's instructions, And too, that
while Bryan was permitted to take
the blame which attached, his public
declaration was never denied by
President Wilson.

lied the United States could not be
endured again, and in that respect the
Wilson administration was vulnerable
to degree. The emergency called
for the man resolute and far seeing
enough to put the government upon an
economical basis and blaze the way, by
urging constructive Legislation, to that
efficiency in industrial affairs without
which the battle would be lost. The
audiences addressed by Mr.. Hughes
believe that the man stands before
them. He is sincere as the sunlight,
honest as the north wind, When he
promises "a business-like administra-
ton of the United States" they know
just what he means, and they are sat
isfed that the country will have it

THESE SHOES WEAR rs YEARS
They Are Made of Grass and Are Still
Worn by Natives in Parts of
Portugal and Spain.

Esparto shoes, or shoes made of the
toughest and strongest of the coarse
esparto fbers. are still worn in Iberia
and parts of Portugal. There is no
shoe made which will outlast them, not
excepting leather shoes. Indeed, one
pair of esparto shoes has been known
to outwear dozen tanned hide soles.
This is due to their faculty of picking
up and retaining in their interstices
stony particles. AS fast as the pebbles
are worn out they are replaced auto
matically BY others. Thus self-soling
process is constantly going on. 1t is
not uncommon in some parts of Spain
or Portugal to hear the natives boast
of wearing pair Of esparto shoes for

THE LADY AND THE DIsHRAG
woman Does Not Realize to What
Depths She Sinks Herself by Usinu
Popular Expression.

"hen woman declares that she
reels like a dishrag'' she is dragging
herself down to the lowest level of
still life. We doubt not from the per-
Sonal appearance of that handy ar
hcle of domestic utility that if anv
life existed at all in said rag it could
not possibly fall lower or feel meaner.
However, woman should never offer
herself in comparison with so de-
graded an object for the simple rea-
son that mankind spurns the dishrar
most vehemently, and as woman
exists solely for man she should nor
seek to lower herself in his esteem.
When a rag takes up its duties in the
dishpan it has reached the tag end
of abandoned hope, the climax per-
haps of merry life. A dishrag might
have been a lovely lady's hose in its
palmy days, adorned by a silken gar
ter and surrounded by costly lingerie.
But ii is not of its past that / speak.
1t is of its present social standing, It's
vulgar environment and it's utter
self-abandonment. 'Tis true that you
may feel fatigued to a limp and loppy
degree, but never can you feel so
utterly wretched and beyond redemp-
ton as dishrag.-Zim, in Cartoons

THESE BOOKS NERE DIGESTED
History Furnishes instances Of Au-
thors Being Compelled Literally
to Eat Their Words.

To literally digest book is an ac-
compliShment which few can boast of
having performed. Nevertheless,
good deal of literature has been de-
strOyed in this way at one time or ali
other.
Barnabo Visconti compelled two
papal delegates TO eat the bull of ex-
communication which they had brought
him, together with its silken cords and
leaden seal. AS the bull was written
on parchment, it was all the more diff
ficult to digest. A similar anecdote is
related of an Austrian general, who
had signed a note for 1000 forms, and,
when it fell due, compelled his cred.
itOrs to eat it.
A Scandinavian writer, the author
of a political book, was compelled to
choose between being beheaded or eat
ing his manuscript boiled in broth.
Isaac VOlmar, who wrote some satires
against Bernard, duke of Saxony, was
not allowed the courtesy of the kitch.
en-, but was forced to swallow them
uncooked. Still worse was the fate of
Philip Oldenburger, jurist of great
renOwn, who was condemned not only
to eat a pamphlet of his writing, but
also to be flogged during his repast.

IN A HURRY.

We Americans of the United States
are famous in other lands for a great
many things, flattering and other
wise, but the one supreme distinc-
zion that seems to be ours at the
hands of both friends and foes is
that we are everlastingly in hurry,
saws Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. We
have the speed mania in its most vir-
uIent form, and 10y all recent diagnO-
sis the malady is increasing as by
our inventive genius we devise new
methods of travel work and recre-
alton. To perhaps a majority of our
critics and commentators this frenzy
of haste appears as sort of de-
mentia, and arouses usually a deep
sense of pity on the part of those
Onlookers who belong to the older
Civilizations and who still cling to
the more deliberate methods of living
and doing. For these long standing
critics we have presented a front of
calm Indifference if not actual con-
tempt. The 'manana" Of the tropics
and the slow-moving austerity of the
Goths, SaxOns and Huns have by
contrast shown so much of decay and
retrogression that we have been con-
tent to accept the worlds verdict as
to speed and stand by the results as
our moral, mental and physical JUST
fication. But this serene sense of pride
in our cannon-ball systems of speed
in every department of life is being
shaken a little in these latter days.
Wise men among us are beginning
to seriously question the soundness of
this boosted characteristic, and to
hint that there is such a thing as
going too fast for safety. PhilosO-
piers, a class once numerous, but
largely extinct now, are crying out
against the sacrifice of security to
speed.

Mushroom ouarrIes Of Paris.

To the south of Paris, the country is
honeycombed with abandoned quarries,
some of which are of enormous extent,
resembling the shafts of great mines,
being from 300 yards to half mile in
length and lying from 30 to $50 feet
beneath the surface of the ground.
In these old quarries are grown
nearly all the mushrooms consumed in
the French capital. Mushrooms -four
ish in these caverns at all seasons, and
they have, in Paris, the reputation of
being superior in flavor to those grown
elsewhere. The worst enemy Of the
mushroom growers is a species Of fly
that swarms through the dark passages
ia such numbers as sometimes to eX-
tinguish the candles of the wOrkmen.
The larvae of this fly destroy the beds
before the shoots have emerged above
the ground.

Honey in Jewish History.

The numerous references to honey
in the Bible are due to it's being the
common sweetener of the people /;
and to this day the Jews, who are fine
old crusty conservatives, use honey in
cooking where other people use sugar.
Still, it had certain distinction, and
was used as the symbol of fruitfulness
and plenty. When Jeroboam's wife
wished to propitiate the prophet she
took him ten loaves, two cakes and d
cruise of honey. When Jesus reap
peared to his disciples they tested his
reality by giving him piece of broiled
fish and some honeycomb to eat. AS
for John the Baptist, it is known to ali
that his common food consisted of
locusts and wild honey.

What might be described as farms
on edge are the famous rice-terraces
upon the mountain-tops of the Philip
pine islands. These farms, in the
shape of ribbons miles and miles long,
cover sides of ranges that in this coun-
try would be considered about right
for goat pasture, so steep and rugged
are they, says St. Nicholas. The pa
tent island farmers cultivate every
foot of them, however, the Lodges ex-
tending high toward the summit and
covering immense areas. The grade
of the terraces is skillfully designed
to carry the water down the mountain
side without waste and without wash
ing away the land, so that the crops
are benefited by a rainfall which would
otherwise wash away all the soil from
the rocks.
