WHAT HE FAILED TO CRITICIZE

Ever since Hughes began his tour Of
the country he has emitted a continu-
Gus stream of criticism of President
Wilson-and that is all. Wilson is his
sole target, and all of his criticism is
petulant fault finding and not help
full or constructive criticism. and al
ready the American people are getting
real tired of it.
In his wild vituperation Hughes has
found it really convenient to forget
that there is such thing as a Repub-
lican party and that il has a bad
record-a record so notoriously bad
that it deserved all of the caustic
criticism heaped upon it by the noisy
Teddy, and which record was so ut
terly bad that it led to the formation
OF new party four years ago made
up entirely of Republicans who had
such degree of digust for the old
party that they polled vote larger
than the Republican party in that cleo
ton, but that does not deter Hughes
from scolding Wilson only, and for
getting his own party and its clouded
record
And yet there are some things upon
which even that scoldng candidate
dares not venture to scold Will
son. The Des Moines Qowa) Register
puts them up so plainly and so strong
ly that We must quote the editors
words He says:
lone reads Mr.. Hughes acceptance
speech in vain for charge or insnua-
ton that President Wilson has be-
trayed the country TO the selfish in
terests eVerlastingIy seeking lesisla-
ton and executive favor.
Indeed, all that is said in criticism
or abuse Of the president, there is not
one word indicating that he has per.
mitted any person or corporation to
profit unduly from the government
There is seemingly common agree
ment not to attempt to couple the
president and his party with the trusts
because of the utter bootlessness OF
the effort, since no one would credit it,.
"A hasty glance over the record as
made by the Democrats during the
last three years discloses that they
have barricaded all doors through
which privilege entered and occupied
the houses of the people.
They did this by taking from the
trusts the shelter which was theirs in
the tariff, and the tariff barons are
The St. Joseph observer., 1916-08-19

Of the Republican president who did
not appoint Republicans to office just
as a Democratic administration ap-
points Democrats. Mr.. Hughes, when
governor of New York. appointed Re-
publicans II he should be elected
president he would appoint Repub.
licans.
So long as he fails to criticise his
friends Colonel Roosevelt and Mr..
Taft to the same extent that he criti-
cises Mr.. Wilson for making partisan
appointments, and as long as he fails
to promise that If elected president he
will make no distinctions between
Democrats and Republicans in filling
appointive positions, just so long must
his outcry against Wilson be recog
niZed as nothing more than cheap
politics.
AS for Mr.. Wilson's appointments.
they stand in need of no Democratic
defense. Mistakes have been made, it
is true, as mistakes are always made
in choosing men to fill office. But
for the important positions president
Wilson has named not only able men,
but men who were in full sympathy
with the progressive and constructive
policies which have endeared his ad-
ministration to the people. The Lin
coin Journal, Republican newspaper,
tells the simple truth when 1t says:
ain general, President Wilson's
appointments have compared fav-
orabIy with past adm Illustrations.
He has organized the federal re-
serve system, the federal trade
commission and now the rural
credits system without suspicion
Of subvertine the public service to
spoils considerations. His appoint
ments to the supreme bench have
not been based on spoils. Nor
have his ambassadors, recognizing
as they did in several cases liter
AIRY rather than political qualifies-
tions, been much criticised"
Mr.. Hughes is here both answered
and Tebuked by one of his most inn
portant newspaper supporters in the
West. And intelligent citizens,
whether Republicans or Democrats,
will recognize that the rebuke is de-
served.

"A FOOLS PARADISE"

In one term President Wilson,
backed up by Democratic congress.
has cleaned up all the political issues
of q quarter of a century and made
this campaign a choice between a
party of honest achievements and a
party Of carping criticism. A party
that does the right thing, and a party
of broken promises. Read the record
of Democracy:
A good tariff law.
A good currency law.
An income tax law.
A rural credit law.
A child labor law
A law that drives lobbyists out of
Washington.
A law to aid good roads.
A law providing for the election of
United States senators by the vote
OF the people.
decide such an issue?
One Charles Hughes, the Republican
candidate for president, thus desig-
mates these good Democratic times.
Let US continue this fools paradise" "
ANY good times under Democratic
administration is a fool paradise" /"
Even standpat Republican must ad-
nit that industrially and commercially
we are in paradise
We are the wealthiest nation on
earth. We are wealthy because Dem.
ocracy has unshackled commerce by
enacting an effective tariff law. Dem.
ocracy has enacted sound, sensible
currency law by which good notes can
be converted into currency. The bust

WILSON AND HIS APPOINTMENTS

With all of the noise that Candidate
Hughes is making over the appoint
ment of Democrats to office by Presi-
dent Wilson. one would be almost
prone to think that the president had
committed a henious crime for which
he should be court-martialed. or at
least bastinadoed, II would also ap-
pear that people who prior TO this full
mination on the part of Hughes had
thought him to be a sincere man have
changed their opinion of him.
We wait with bated breath TO hear

There is now since the Democratic

which has disgraced the party and
which will endanger Democratic sue

The action of the delegates disclosed
that they are sick and tired of the
actions Of both sides. and they showed
their displeasure by relegating both
sides to the rear-even II some St.
Joseph politicians did threaten and
bluster.
