HUGHrS AND HIS ACCEPTANCE.

CHARLES EVANS HUGHES has been notified for
~ mally OF his nomination the Republican candi-
date for President His speech OF acceptance is ut
terance that appeals profoundly the heart the mind
and the understanding OF all Americans.
II IS by all odds thus far the noteworthy fea-
ure OF what bids fair TO be OF the most important
and spirited political campaigns that has been held
In this country in recent years.
The speech breathcs spirit Of mmon-sense Amer-
canism that is refreshing Is inspiring and that
paces the Republican party where 1t ought to stand
before the people the important issues of The day
The attitude assumed by Mr. Hughes is one that will
command the respect of all Americans and the enthu-
siastic support OF all Republicans II is an appeal to
the patriotic reason Of the nation and not its parti-
san prejudice President Wilson will find Il dnncult
indeed to make reply il that will be satisfying to
The American people.
How completely the candidacy of Mr.. Hughes and
his uterances upon public questions have served TO
reunite the Republican party made manifest by
the fact that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and other
prominent Progressves participated in the notinca-
ton ceremonies and appauded Mr.. Hughes enthus-
ssucally.
When the Republican candidate wrote his speech he
pursued lines broad and patriotic that they not
only struck the keynote but supplied hundreds OF
for the Of thousands Of campaign speakers who
will go the stump and advocate his election
Democratic leaders have asserted that the Republi-
party will into the present campaign without
an issue The utterances Of Mr. Hughes reveal con
cusively that enters the fight not with one issue
but with many OF them and that from the beginning
the end OF the struggle the national Democracy will
be kept on the defensive in all the States
Reunited and with such candidate. the Republican
party should prove itself to be invncible in No

EDITORIAL OPINION

worthy Of his support He may pre-
fer Mr. Wilson, but he cannot urge
Progressivism as bar TO support of
Mr.. Hughes
Mr.. Roosevelt has rarely appeared
to better advantage than he does in
saying those words which-however
true and logical they may be-cer-
tainly represent the final laying
aside Of his just and unselfsh hope
that the task of reconstructing a posi-
tive Americanism might be intrusted
to his hands His Endorsement OF Mr..
Hughes is detailed and complete. He
even goes so far as to take from Mr..
Hughes all blame for the German
American Endorsements and assume
the responsibility himself.
Mr. Hughes in his telgrams sent 90
the Progressive national committee
after it had disbanded repeats his
platform statements. adding to them
a specific Endorsement Of some of the
Progressive principles. But that part
Of his telegram that will really touch
the Progressives Is his simple word of
fellowship with them and invitation
TO common service.

STILL Welded TO IT'S FOLLY.
From the Omaha Bee.
That remarkably literary document
sent out from the ST Louis conven-
ton as the platform Of the Democra-
tic party is emphatically clear on
some scattered points. One OF these
Is the unqualified endorsement of the
administration shipping bill. now
pending before Congress. That this
measure was rejected year ago. does
not lessen the devotion Of the Presi-
dent and his Secretary of the Treas
ury TO its provisions, and they will
make all efforts to secure its passage
A. at present, pending the measure
does not in any material way differ
from the one that failed In the last
Congress. Il provides for the appro-
priation of $50 900 900 to be invested
IN merchant vessels for the seagoing
trade, these to be sold or leased to
private owners. with the provision
that the Government has prior
claim upon their services in event Of
war.
This means the investment of pub
lie mlney in enterprise into which
private capital hesitates to venture.
The absurdity of the whole thing eli
makes in the fact that it is the SER
ious proposal Of a party that has a.
ways pretended to shrink from sub
ventions of any kind. especially from
the payment OF subsidies or bonuses.
II is also part OF the record Of the
Democratic Administration that il
forced American ships to pay tolls
through the Panama Canal a conces-
sion to the shipnipg interests Of Eur
ope. A further anachronism is that
the measure will open American
coastwise trade TO foreign vessels
thus compelling the direct competi-
ton Of our merchant marine with
the world in the only field Of profit
that has been preserved to it by pro
tective laws.
Objections to the Wilson-McAdoO
shipping bill have often been stated.
and do not lose any weight because
OF the inclusion Of the measure in the
st. Louis platform.

LINCOLN DAY BANQUET
WENATCHEE SATURDAY
Many Republicans Gathered to Honor
Birthday of Great EmandpatOr

The Lincoln Day banquet, last Sat-
urday evening, drew large crowd to
Wenatchee Hotel. Ed. S. Russell pre-
sided over the meeting in a very felic-
itous manner, and numerous short
talks, in response to Mr.. Russell, were
made. The first, by Mr.. Geo. R.
Fisher, referred to the ancestry Of
Abraham Lincoln, which is gradually
being cleared up by his many admir-
ers and shows that among his ances-
tors were several who had achieved
distinction.
After many talks, toward the close Of
the meet, Lew Bowman was called on
and to the great delight of some, and
the discontinue Of others, laid bare
some Of the early political history Of
Chelan county. He told how in the
old days OF conventions and caucuses
things were fixed, and sometimes un-
fixed, and deplored the passing Of
those good old times. The primary
law he would like to see repealed. AS
bit of history, throwing light on how
things were done then, his talk was
entertaining, which probably accounted
for the tumultuous applause that greet
ed his talk, which was the longest
made at the meeting, He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Rufus Wood, of the
World, who closed the talkfest. Among
other things he stated that he would
not be candidate for congress, but
was highly pleased to learn that many
others beside himself thought him fitted
for so high and honorable position.
Thruout the meeting, which was
really republican gathering, with a
number OF the brand known as pro-
gressive republicans present, the get
together feeling was evident. The
forgive and forget spirit came to the
surface in several of the talks made.

AerOpIane Mail Service

Washington advices are to the effect
that plans are being perfected to es-
tablish aeroplane mail service in differ
ent parts of the United States. 1t will
be tried out in Alaska, where there are
few roads and widely scattered settle
ments. Routes will also be established
in the United States. The trial will be
made with the double purpose of de-
termining the practicability Of carrying
mail by this method and at the same
time train several hundred men to the
use OF air machines so that they may
become available in the service Of the
government should the country ever
become involved in war. The Euro
pean war has determined their useful
ness in war, in truth their indispen-
sable use if the country means to keep
pace with the development Of war ac-

to water in the reserves and the forest
rangers are compelled to operate six
