that this salute is rendered upon reach

The Hughes Start.

The Hughes campaign was slow on it
start, Republican machinery was rust,
and Hughes machinery was rusty. Tn,
party had lost the habit of victory ant
Hughes had lost the habit of politics
That the Republican campaign shoulC
swing Immediately into the steady hun
of full speed was impossible. Now the
start has been made.
Mr.. Hughes voice was strange at the
notification meeting in New York, and
it was strange again at Detroit yester
day We shall know it better within
the week, and before the long journey
across the country is finished the Hughes
voice should be ringing in the ears OF
every voter in the land
The Hughes campaign must gather
momentum from day to day in the mid
die West, for it is there that the heavy
preparedness are the issues of doubt in
the dozen middle states, where the con-
ception of nationality has grown slug
gish and where the echoes of the present
war are only rumble.
Mr.. Hughes success depends upon the
middle West. When he returns East
month hence we shall know more about
the Hughes campaign.
Normally, this would be a strong Re-
publican year, what with the return of
the Progressive and the fact that the
Republican party's traditional principles
are more than ever necessary. Condi-
tons have grown more nearly normal,
surely, with the events of the last two
months. But there is still the Europe
an war, and still persistent misconcep-
ton of its significance in the affairs of
America.
To a large number of citizens our
only relation to the war is the agility
with which we keep out of it. Ameri-
can ideals are submerged in contem- |
plation of fortunate peace.
Nor is it to be assumed that all those
snug citizens are Democrats. Mr.. |
Hughes is talking to people who are
in the bleary submissiveness of |
the Wilson administration. His train
rolls through section fortified with
ranting and planted to pa
ciism. Verify Mr. Hughes must run for
president; there will be no walk-over,
out there.-Boston Journal.

Switzerland and Prisoners of War.

The good work already accomplished
and still being carried on by Switzerland
in the way of mitigating, as far as
possible, for her neighbors some of the
hardships of war, has frequently been a
matter of grateful comment, In spite
of her own difficulties, and they have
been by no means few, Switzerland has
seized every opportunity for helpfulness
in this connection. Through the media
tion of the Swiss federal post, millions
of letters, postal orders and packages
have been forwarded to French prison
ers of war in Germany and to German
| prisoners of war in France; to Austro-
Hungarian prisoners OF war in Russia
and to Russian prisoners of war in Aus
tria- Hungary. Then again, refugees of
all belligerent countries, seeking shelter
in Switzerland, have been helped in ev-
cry way possible; whilst large quantities
of comforts have been widely distributed.
The latest exhibition of goodwill is
afforded by the reception and treatment
of British and French prisoners of war,
recently informed in Switzerland. The
Swiss have been, from time to time, de-
scribed as greatly divided in their sym
pathies in regard to the war, but, how
ever this may be, it has in no way
affected their desire to help or its i'm

the reception accorded the war prisoners

high ideal in the matter, and the atti-

who declared, recently, that
Switzerland ought to regard the question
of helping prisoners of war in the light
of her duty to humanity. Seeming ser
ous difficulties that might be met with
ought not to cause her to forget the no.
oility of her mission.
Switzerland is now, of course, entirely
by belligerents. At the be-
ginning of the war the rush into her ,

almost overwhelming; but everything ,
