Need Of Constructive Legislation.

Just before the European war broke
out we had million skilled mechan-
les out of work and nearly half mil
lion railroad men were idle, together
with nearly half million freight cars.
The railroads were suffering from
lack of freight to carry to market, and
industry was gradually becoming
stagnant. In Louisiana two hundred
thousand acres of sugar land were
plowed up because of Democratic
changes in the tariff law. 1t is gen
orally conceded by all save the blind

Mr.. HUGHES ANSWERS.
Those Who camored for His Views
Are Hearing Them.

Those friends of Democracy Who
clamored so loudly for Mr.. Hughes
opinions upon current issues while
he still held the high Office of justice
of the supreme court, are now fully
answered by the private citizen, who
surrendered his judicial position to
accede to the wishes of a majority of
the people as expressed through their
instructions to their delegates to the
Republican national convention.
Mr.. Hughes has not disappointed
those who have reposed confidence in
his character and judgment. In his
speech Of acceptance he has clearly
set forth the vital issues upon which
the Republican party proposes to
conduct the campaign this fall. On
the platform he is telling the nation
wherein the present administration
has been at fault and what is neces-
sary to be done to restore the United
States to the place of respect and
honor to which 1t Is entitled in the
eyes of the world.

"watchful waiting" is the Democratic
keynote in the campaign. The Wilson
drive is to begin sometime" after
September |; but no definite engage
ments have been made, it is an
nounced, for him to commence making
political speeches. He has tentative
engagements to make some Western
visits about the middle of September
but nothing positive. Plans are be-
ing formulated for carrying on cam
paign to capture the woman vote of
the country, but who will make the
speeches on this phase of the con-
troversy has not been determined. 1t
had been expected that Mr.. Bryan
would speak in the Maine campaign,
but it is now believed he cannot do
so, but will make some speeches later.
And so it goes. Watchful waiting
will prevail while, in the meantime,
Mr.. Hughes is carrying on positive
campaign and arousing the entire
Western country.

Mr.. HUGHES HAS EXPLODED THE
US-OUT-OF-WAR"
ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Hughes attack upon the "kept-
us-out-of-war" argument has aroused
a story of enthusiasm.

"Why, there were nineteen men-gOOd

Cruz, and many Mexicans were killed
by our men. That was war. More
over, it was very ignoble war.
have heard three explanations of the
Vera Cruz move.
First, it was explained that 1t was
made in order to compel somebody
to salute the flag-somebody who had
insulted us. But the flag was not sa-
luted and has not been to this day.
Then it was said that the salute was
not what we sought, but to prevent
the landing of a boatload Of ammuni-
ton intended for Huerta. The ammu-
milton, landed, however, and 1t has
been shown that 1t reached Huerta
in due season without interference on
our part.
"When that reason was shown to
be untenable, third one-and possibly
the real One-fnally was advanced
1t was said that our seizure of Vera
Cruz was a move to compel the retire
ment of Huerta. 1t seems possible
that this is true, although we had
promised the Mexicans that we would
not interfere in their affairs and told
them more than once that we wanted
them to handle their own affairs.
"That is why the Mexicans could
not understand us and that is why
they show little faith in our promises

Charles e. Hughes, the Republican
candidate, recognizes an important
fact that Woodrow Wilson, the Demo-
cratic president, appears to have
overlooked-that the United States Is
big enough to help Mexico out of the
condition of anarchy in which that
country is plunged and, by securing
order in Mexico, insure peace on our
border.

Just as it is now obstinately shut
ting its eyes to the need of indus
trial preparedness, for three years the
Wilson administration refused to see
the need of adequate military pre-
paredness. With war on our southern
border it was content to rely on a
regular army that could only muster
10000 available men and refused to
continue the established policy Of
building up our navy. When the time
came for action, the country had not
sufficient troops to police the border
and this force has been supplemented
by trifle more than one third the
war strength Of the national guard. IL
the national administration had had
the ability to interpret the signs Of
the time military preparedness would
have been well under way instead Of
barely begun.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS,

Two futile invasions of Mexico and
six separate and distinct policies on
ammunition to be sent into that coun.
try are included in the performance Of
the Wilson administration in it's deal
ings with our southern neighbors in
less than three years. 1t is this char.
acteristic instability of the govern
ment that makes people want a
change.
When Charles e. Hughes said: "The
dealings of the administration with
Mexico constitute a confused chapter
of blunders," he gave an explicit char
acterization of the Wilson administra'
tons policy in one sentence.
