Mr.. Hughes HIS Own Boss
~. Louis Globe Democrat.

While Mr.. Hughes was still in the west there
was a growing impression in the rest OF the
country that he was not arousing as great enthu-
sasm as had been anticipated. The Globe-Demo"
crat frankly admitted it, at the time and set forth
some OF the conditions responsible for readers get
ting such mistaken impression. After his speech
OF acceptance Mr.. Hughes confined his attention
to his immediate work. Belief in certain myths
about him had been carefully fostered He had to
dispel these He did it in his l4000-mile tour.
Correspondents OF such papers as the New York
Times, edtoriay supporting Mr.. Wilson, admit
that he convinced his hearers everywhere that he
redblooded man, capable, intellectually
honest, courageous and bent on establishing Ell
hciency in the public service. When he said he
would veto extravagant appropriations, it was not
taken as an idle campaign promise. People knew
he meant every word OF it. Some remembered
that he had vetoed items amounting to $5O0O,0O0
the last year he was governor OF New York and
that he had disapproved OF over 200 bills that were
wrong in principle or deficient in other respects.
When he said he would serve the whole people,
his hearers believed him. They knew that he had
never been bossed, that he had never snapped pat
ronage for support Of his measures and that he
was not under obligations to any machine, indi-
vidual set OF individuals for his nomination. He
concluded his tour in Maine and the election last
Monday showed what Maine voters thought of
Hughes, after seeing and hearing him. They saw
that he was every inch man and not weather.
vane, shifted by every vagrant breeze. They knew
that whatever emergency might arise, he could be
trusted to do what was right without giving
thought to the effect on his personal fortunes.
Mr.. Hughes, however, is no political novice.
He reserved the detailed discussion OF recent leg
islaton until congress adjourned and the president
had set his seal upon it. He has already shown
the Aimsy character OF some OF it and the iniqui
tous principles OF other parts Of it He will not
waste all his ammunition at once, however, for
interest must be sustained until November. On
one subject he has remained discreetly reticent,
with high purpose. He expects to be elected presi-
dent and to have to deal with our troubles with
certain European belligetents, He wants to be
able to do this without any handicap of prejudice,
and the opposition which would make political
goad him into saying anything that might cause
any country to look upon him as its enemy. He
is running his own campaign, just as he will be his
own boss as president.

Ne,o Chemical Supplies
New York Times.

We have been compelled by the war to utilize
many natural products which formerly were neg
lected or thrown away. This is especially no.
ticeable in the manufacture of what are commonly
called chemicals For many OF these we relied
upon Germany, but before the war our own
output was growing. Public attention has been
drawn to the shortage OF dycstufs, and there has
been no general appreciation OF really remark
able increase of the production here of many sub
stances which must be used in our manufacture
ing industries,
What was lost in the old beehive coke oven
is now saved From the smoke and the liquids
that formerly were wasted benzol and ammonia
are now taken and gas is produced that is Sold
Thousands OF new by-Rroduct ovens have sup
planted the old ones The saving of benzo has
been due mainly, it is true to the demand from
makers of explosives for the allies, but there is
market for this substance in peaceful times. Be
fore the war we made only about one-quarter OF
the bleaching powder consumed here; now our
own output is so large that some expect to see
an export surplus after the war In the production
Of nitrates from nitrogen in the air there has been
beginning, and large factory or plant is to
be built by the government There is conserva-
tion instead of waste, now in the production OF
sulphuric acid at mining and smelling works. and
the cost is low. great increase OF the output
OF carbolic acid is shown. Those who are quail
fed to express an opinion say that in many
branches OF the chemical industry we shall be
able after the war not only to supply our own
wants but also to make sales abroad
While developments and production have been
powerfully stimulated by the foreign demand for
war supplies, the needs Of our own industries will
probably keep the new factories at work and the
new processes in use. We shall not go back to
the old wasteful practices. If our producers in
the new fields should be menaced by unfair
competition from abroad by offers OF goods at
prices below the cost OF making them their in
terests will be guarded by the national Trade and
Tariff commission and by the anti-dumping law
recently enacted.

Farmers and Democratic Prosperity"

Our democratic senator is pursuing the ap-
proved tactics OF his party in his canvass for re-
election He is telling halftruths. deceving by
indirecton, and endeavoring through this means
to induce voters to give their support to his fail
ing cause. In Antelope county he exhibited few
quotations OF market prices for farm commodi-
ties in 1912, and compared them with the prices
prevailing today, insinuatng that the difference is
the result of having elected Wilson president and
suggesting that the way to keep prices at their
present high level is to continue the democrats in
Office.
Let us take look at the facts. The card our
democratic senator exhibited gave the price OF
wheat at 90 cents, and this he compared with the
present price Of Sl46 Why did he not tell his
hearers that in August, 1918, FIVE months after the
Inauguration Of President Wilson, the price of
wheat in Omaha was 80 cents, drop of 10 cents
bushel? And on July "a, 1914, two weeks be-
fore the war in Europe commenced, the same
grade OF wheat was quoted in Omaha at 70 cents,
another dime lower. Hogs according to our sem
ator, sold in 1912 at $3.50; in 1918 these hogs were
priced at $8.l7 drop of $l.33 per hundred pounds
under the effect of the democratic administration.
In 1914, just before the war, the price had ad-
vanced to $780, still below the level quoted under
republican rue. Beef cattle in August, 1912, were
selling around $97s; year later the price was
49, and in July, 1914 it was still SO. No. yellow
corn sold in 1918 at IL cents in Omaha, and in
1914 at 68 cents. 1t is now quoted at 70 cents
The price Of oats has gone up from IS cents in
July, l9l4 to 43 cents in 1910
But does our democratic senator intend to
convey the impression that Mr.. Wilson is re-
sponsible for the war in Europe that has brought
about the unusual demand and consequent high
prices for American farm products1 Will he hold
that the Underwood tariff, which took the, duty
off everything the Nebraska farmer raises, and
retained it on the principal crops OF the Georgia
farmer had anything to do with the rise in prices
he boasts Off
The truth is, prices were on their way down.
ward to the good old level of poverty always at
tanned under democratic rule, whent the world
war set inflated values on everything. None
knows better than the democratic leaders that
present fictitious prosperity is not permanent,
that It depends on war altogether, and that DEM
ocratic legislation has had no more influence on
the situation in this regard than it has had on
the procession OF the equinox. The farmers too,
know this and will not be bamboozled by the
transparent attempt now being made to deceive
them.

New York Moosers and Republicans.

The effort to secure progressive nomination
for the democratic candidate for governor in
New York has been defeated by the progressives
themselves. In the primary election where Gov
ernor Whitman, the republican, was pitted against
Judge Sea5ury, the democrat, asking for endorse
ment OF the progressves, the decision was in ia
vor OF the republican candidate, The size Of the
vote cast is an indication that most Of the moos
ers have already returned to their original fealty
to The republican party, realizing the hopeless
ness Of gaining any really remedial or construc-
tive legislation through the rcactonares who
dominate the councils OF democracy. Those who
still hold themselves to be members Of an indie
pendent party also realize that more of real good
will be secured through retaining Governor Whit
man in Office than to restore Tammany to power
in New York, and by placing Mr. Hughes in the
White House than by continuing the present in
cffectual democratic administration. The vote of
the "moosers" in New York is an answer to the
efforts OF the deplocrats to create dissension
among the progressive voters and thus secure
some support for the cause OF free trade and ad-
illustrative incompetence.
