AFTER DINNER POLITICS
How Cleveland Destroyed HI. Letters,
By DR.. e. J. EDWARDS.

ny bFs r.. j. EDH Ahbss
George F. Parker, the bIographer Of
Grover Cleveland and at one time an In
mate OF the White House, having an
office there in which he carried on GER
tain campaign work, could-had Cleve-
land preserved the letters and documents
which he accumulated in the two terms
as President-have stretched the biogra-
ply OF the latter from one TO five or six
volumes.
Mr.. Cleveland collected an enormous
amount Of correspondence, memoranda
and documents. many OF which, could
they have been published, would have
thrown flood Of light upon his admin
istration," said Mr. Parker TO me. But
II was perfectly characteristic Of Grover
Cleveland that, having retired perma-
nently TO private life, he decided 20 de-
stroy substantially all OF his correspond
ence, memoranda and documents.
ITO do this entailed work that lasted
for several days and the good part OF
several nights. Mr.. Cleveland and I were
together in his apartments all that time
and nobody was permitted to disturb US.
He might have ordered all of the ma
terial to be burned and in that way it
could have been destroyed in an hour
or 50. Instead, he determined to look at
every letter and every document, insist
ing that l also do the same.
Many times l suggested to him that
certain correspondence should be kept
so that II could be available as historical
material some time in the future after his
death. Many Of the letters were from
men Of prominence. and some OF them
would have made strange revelations Of
The Washington herald., 1916-09-27

the characters OF men who were Of influ-
ence in politics In Cieveisnd's day.
|, There were letter books which con-
taineo copies OF the personal letters
Cleveland wrote while in the White
House. These were all In his own hand
writing. and he had Infinite capacity for
labor Of that kind. He once told me that
he found IL impossible TO dictate salts
factorily.
Then, too. there were references 20
certain important features Of both his
administrations. But he was not willing
that these should be kept He sat i'm
movable in a great chair and as handed
document or letter TO him he would 20
over the communication carefully and
then invariably. deliberately tear q up I
could not understand how he was willing
70 destroy such valuable material, e1-
cepting that he felt that history ought
70 judge him by what he did when Presi-
dent
There were a good many boxes into
which this material had been packed. and
the magnitude OF the task did not seem
to appan Cleveland at all He could not
have furnished a better evidence Of his
capacity for drudgery, and detail drudg-
cry at that, than he did at that time.
think he was the most perfect master
Of the drudgery OF details Of any man 1
ever knew.
AT last We finished the work ana
Cleveland expressed his qualification that
nothing would be left behind him which
would be utilized IN any way either TO
impair or 70 increase his reputation"

Former Justice Hughes, of all men, would be
the last to seek to Illustrate the true interests
of labor and to muzzle the OK that treads out the
grain. He believes, all far-minded persons be-
l1eve that the laborer is worthy of his hire And
he believes also that the lessening of the hours
of labor is both a humane and an economic and
social advance. Yet Mr.. Hughes is brave enough
and patriotic enough to drive the shafts of his

Ten days ago the Democrats were comfort
ing themselves by saying that there was lack
OF enthusiasm on the Republican side They
have had less to say on that subject since the
votes were counted in Maine! The Republican
campaign IS going very well. Public interest
in the election has not been thoroughly aroused
as yet; it seldom. is thoroughly aroused by the
middle of September. There will be no lack of
Republican enthusiasm six weeks from now% The
party is united again; it has inspiring leadership
at no time since. the nominations has the pros
pect for victory been more promising than it is
today.-Cincinnati Times-Star

There is great and deplorabe waste in the
lumber industry. The manufacturers say that,
on an average, 65 per cent of every tree cut does
not reach the consumer, but is thrown away. In
other fields we are now utilizing much that for
merly was lost. This is especially noticeable in
the work of by-product coke ovens and in the
saving OF acids at smelling plants. The time may
come when paper can be made proftably from
cotton stalks. Any. legal, fair, and reasonable
plan tor preventing forest waste deserves careful

Need for an Unwritten Law.

1t matters not how frequently judges of our
State courts have become candidates for political
offices in both parties, there is deep and general
feeling among the silent voters, irrespective Of
party affiliations that the justices Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States should not be tempted
to regard themselves possible candidates for
the Presidency, and it seems that the only way
TO keep their thoughts from dwelling on the
political effect of their decisions on questions in
which the masses may be particularly interested
at one time another, is to have an unwritten
law that no justice of the Supreme Court shall
ever be nominated for President
In country of 100000 900 population and such
hosts of men trained in the different States to
administer affairs in the legislative and executive
departments and actively engaged in the manu-
featuring, commercial, literary, scientific and edu-
catlonal world, it is entirely unnecessary to 60 to
the Supreme Federal Judiciary for candidate
TO many persons (who may be regarded as
squeamlsh), it is not an inspiring or pleasant
spectacle to have Supreme Court justice leave
the bench, and, as ZOO per cent candidate" /"
attack the attitude and conduct of the incumbent
President on questions that are by no means
one-Sided, and which need the passage of time
and the happening of events, yet on their way
for better understanding and a more enIighten-
ed and impartial discussion. Our tomorrows
have yet to shed much needed light on our YES
terdays. Meanwhile, it seems unfortunate and
unseemly to such persons that of the nine
consecrated to the supreme administration of law
and justice in the United States should have
been drawn out of the sacred circle, and should
have abandoned his dedication to his duties,
to engage in a campaign which, no matter how
high and unselfsh his motives may be, cannot
but be more or less prejudiced, partisan and (al-
belt unconsclously) permeated with personal am
bition.
It is hard to tell how widespread this feeling
of aversion to a political invasion of the Supreme
Court of the United States may be in the minds
OF the people, but it may be more general and it
may affect the voting to a greater extent than
is now conceived by the practical politicians"
The Washington herald., 1916-09-27

The Republican campaign managers appear
to have most irritating memory This has dis
played itself recently in their citation of Mr..
Wilson's views of organized labor, the views
he entertained before he was a candidate for
reelection. One of the quotations they are dis
tributing is from Mr. Wilson's address delfv-
cred at Princeton June 3o 1909, when he said,
in part: You know what the usual standard
Of the employe is in our day 1t is to give
as little as he may for his wages Labor is
standardized by the trade unions and this is
the standard to which it is made to conform.
No one is suffered to do more than the average
workman can do. In some trades and handi-
crafts no one is suffered to do more than the
least skillful Of his fellows can do within the
hours allotted to days labor, and no one
can work out Of hours at all or volunteer any,
thing beyond the minimum. l need not point
out how economically disastrous such a regu-
lation of labor is. 1t is so improbable to the
ployer that in some trades it will presently not
be worth his while to attempt anything at all"
The Washington herald., 1916-09-27
In his reply to President Wilson's defense of

In his reply to President Wilson's defense of
the Adamson law, Mr.. Hughes says:
81 have stood from the time 1 entered upon
my public career for reasonable hours of serv-
ice, and one more than I desires to see every
opportunity to every workingman to escape an
undue severity of strain and for the opportunity
which American manhood should have. But I
protest against any endeavor to confuse the
thought OF America by talking about an eight
hour workday when nothing of the sort has been
enacted, nothing Of the sort has been proposed,
and the only thing that was proposed or enacted
was a change in the schedule of wages The
may work just as long as before"
1t will be difficult for Mr.. Wilson to make an
effective denial of this statement. Mr. Hughes
has set forth facts and it is difficult to disprove
facts
