We put the man who thinks and
speaks directly. and whose words
have always been made good, against
the man whose adroit and facile elo-
cution is used to conceal his plans
or his want of plans. The next four
years may well be years of ire
mendous national strain. Which of
the two men do you, tie American
people, wish at the helm during these
four years; the man who has been
actually tried and found wanting, or
the man whose whole career in public
office is guarantee of his power
and good faith? But one answer is
possible; and 1t must be given by
the American people through the cleo
tion OF Charles Evans Hughes as
president of the United States

conscience. We have been told that
Americans. II they do not wish to be
killed. should leave Mexico and
should keep off the ocean; that to
save few American lives it is not
worth while to hazard the lives of
American soldiers that Mexicans
should be allowed to spill blood to
their hearts content; that the Euro
pean war is no concern OF ours; that
even as between Belgium and Ger
in act but in sympathy. Not once has
President Wilson squarely placed be-
fore the American people the question
which Abraham Lincoln put before
the American people in 1860; what Is
our duty? Not once has he appealed
TO moral idealism, to the stern en-
thusiasm Of strong men for the right.
On the contrary, he has employed
every elocutionary device to lull to
sleep orr sense of duty, to make us
content with words instead OF deeds,
to make our moral idealism and en-
thusiasm evaporate in empty phrases
instead OF being reduced to concrete
action. America as a nation has
been officially kept in position of
timid indifference and cold selfish
ness. America, which sprang to the
succor of Cuba in 1898, has stood an
idle spectator of the invasion of Bel
GUM. of the sinking of the Lusitania,
of the continued slaughter of our own
rapine and murder in Mexico.

Nevertheless believe that the
American people were ready for the
same kind of appeal which was made
TO them by Abraham Lincoln in 1860,
by the advocates of an honest cur
rency in 1896, by the advocates Of
the Spanish war in 1898, by the adj
vocates Of Nationalism in 1900. But
the appeal was not made. On the
contrary, Mr.. Wilson invoked the
spirit of timidity and selfshness. He
made no effort to invoke the sense of
duty. He put 'saefty first, the i'm
mediate safety Of the moment, to be
obtained by shrinking from duty. He
did not even put American rights
first. still less did he put American
duty first.
st is just that this nation should
concern itself with its rights; but 1t
is even more necessary that it should
concern itself with its duties. AS
between Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Wilson.
who can doubt which is the man who
will with austere courage stand for
the national duty? Mr.. Wilson's
words have contradicted one another;
and all his words have been con-
tradicted by his acts. Mr.. Wilson's
promise has not borne the slightest
reference to his performance. We
have against him in Mr. Hughes
man whose public life is guarantee
that whatever he says he will make
good, and that all his words will DE
borne out by his deeds. Against Mr.
Wilson's combination of grace In elo-
cution with futility in action; against
his record Of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds. we set
Mr.. Hughes rugged and uncompromis-
ing straightforwardness of character
and action in every Office he has held.

SUFFRAGE AND CHILD LABOR

By what curious quirk Of the human brain do the women bosses find
a parallel between a national Child Labor law and a Suffrage amendment
to the constitution Of the United States?
Mr.. Hughes has guped down their amendment, but they "a hardly
Expect him to swallow their principal argument in support Of it. As a
temporary political sympathzer with experimentation he may be i'll
different to the rights or the interests of the states and Of local self gov
eminent, but al least he knows the constitution.
The enactment OF a national Ch1d-labor law, whether eNped1ent or
,nexpedient, is merely al exercise Of the power Of rongress to regulate
grants Of the constitution. It would not be al eNaggeration OF fact to say
the constitution was framed and adopted almost wholly to enable congress
to regulate commerce between the states.
1t was the imperative need OF this regulation that brought about the
convention that framed the constitution, and except for this need the re
public, Is W c know it, would never have COME into being.
Federal regulation and control OF the franchise is quite a different
matter It was never provided for in the constitution. 1t a never
dreamed Of by the nen who framed the constitutions. No constitution
that contained such a provision could ever have been adopted, and the
Fifteenth Amendment would never have been ratified eighty years later
except a a partisan act OF repr&sal against the DISTINGUISHED southern
states.
The women bosses who have now obtained the cooperation of Mr..
Hughes in their vicious political undertaking. boast that they have
4O000O women voters who will work as a unit to defeat President Will
son and the Democrats party unless this amendment is damned through
congress. If they have, so much the reason why the amendment
should be smothered. There a be II 10 stability Of government, n o Sc
curty OF government. if 100000 votes ca be used as an instrument
of backmal in compelling amendments to the constitution OF the United
States whenever a few bosses OF either scX so determine.
The World is glad that President Wilson has refused to be intim-
idated, and hopes that the Democratic majority in congress will stand
firm in defense of the sovereign right of the people of each state to pre-
scribe the terms and conditions of the franchise. When that is once sur
rendered, n minority, whether Of states or of people, cal be sure that it
has any rights left that a majority is bound to respect.
In the meantime we shall continue to. wonder what Charles T.
Hughes, former associate justice of the Supreme court Of the United
States, thinks Of some OF the political activities OF Charles E. Hughes
the Republican candidate for president-New York World.

WHAT WOULD HUGHES HAVE DONE?

Among some OF the achievements that President Wilson and his
administration have accomplished in the three years the Democrats
have been in control at Washington was the passage of the Underwood
Tariff bill, a revision OF the tariff downward, which Roosevelt shir%ed
and Taft was unable to put through.
WHAT WOULD HUGHES lave DONE?
mess men the country yer as the greatest piece OF financial legislation
ever enacted.
WHAT WOULD HUGHES HAVE DONE?
The income tax law, which makes organized capital and wealth
bear a more just proportion OF the expenses OF the government.
WHAT WOULD HUGHES HAVE DONE?
The repeal of the coastwise provision Of the Panama Canal tolls
act, thereby proving that the United States is faithful to its treaty
pledges.
WHAT WOULD HUGHES HAVE DONE:
The Federal Trade Board, a splendid piece Of constructive legislation.
WHAT WOULD HUGHES HAVE DONE?
The advocating and forcing through the senate OF the Child Labor
law, the most humane piece OF legislation V enacted by any congress
and against the combined opposition OF the INTERESTS"
WHAT WOULD HUGHES HAVE DONE?
The Mexican policy, which has saved hundreds OF thousands of lives
that would have been lost in the attempt to subdue that revolutionary
country, besides the number OF widows and orphans in the United States
that a war with Mexico would have been responsible for, and the mil
lions OF dollars Of expense that this country would have been put to. by
President Wilson realized the COS OF human lives, besides the financial
loss, and stood as a bulwark against the bowling jngoists and "a man
iacs. non OF whom possibly wei smiled over a cradle or wept wei a
tomb"
WHAT WOULD HUGHES HAVE DONE?
The tactful and diplomatic manner in which the European situation
has been handed. preserving the neutrality Of this country and making
it the most powerful nation on earth, and when the time conles, the most
potent factor in a reimbursement of the worlds affairs.
WHAT WOULD HUGHES HAVE DONE?
Until Mr.. Hughes can tell the people of the United States what he
would have done under the conditions that have faced President Viii
10 evr since he was indicted into oice it is not reasonable to assume
that the voters OF this country ar going to take a chance 0 a change

PAN-AMERICANISM: ITS MIGHTY EANING TO

(Hon. John Barrett in The Fra")

The thing that really concerns us is Latin America. Never use the
Spanish America, unless you wan to dhferentate between the

Never call a Mexican a Spaniard unless you want ito offend him.

the immortal declaration OF the United States?

With Milt "ailin'," there was no one
to take up the reins of clan govern

dominance began drifting asunder.
One mill day when a group Of Nc
Briars met with their sacks of grist at
a water-mill, someone put the ques-

and they were not needed. Juanita
tried to forget the significance of that
Friday. but she could not, for all the
larger boys were absent from school,
and all day Thursday the road had
been sprinkled with horses and wag-
ons. She knew with shudder that
they were going to town to see the
hanging. A gruesome fascination OF
interest attached to so unheard of an
event as McBriar clansman dying on
Havey scaffold with his people stand
ing by idle.
But Luke Thixton, going to his
death there among enemies, went
without flinching, and his snarling lips
even twisted bit derisively when he
mounted the scaffold, as they had
twisted when he declined Good Anse
Talbott's ministrations in the Jail.
Since he must die among enemies.
he would give them no weakness over
which to gloat in memory.
He raised his head, and his snarl
turned slowly and unpleasantly into
grin of contempt, and his last words
were picturesque curse called down
alike on the heads of the foes who put
him to death and on the false friends
who had failed him.
Afterward Young Milt and Bad Anse
shook hands, and the younger man
said to the older:

meant what I said, l reckon we can

The morning of the trial dawned on
a town prepared to face bloody day.
Long before train-time crowds had
drifted down to the station.
AS though by common consent. the
McBriars stood on one side of the
track and the Haveys on the other.
For an hour they massed there, low
