The most unfortunate political issue that Charles Hughes
has found would to be his opposition the Adamson eight
hour BILL which he again voices his Monday speech at Spring
field ILL.,
The republican candidate repeats the false statements of rail-
road agents. made long before the crisis that wha the
broherhoods want not decrease working hours but
pay and he denounces the action of President Wilson
and the democratic congress surrender to the broehoods
made with the hope of political gain.
This last argument Mr. Hughes naive belief that the
broherhood composing only 100000 workers. the weaker
party the dispute Presumably then Mr. Hughes would have
"surrendered' to the stronger party-the railroads.
1t difficult to understand how candidate oppose the
aspirations Of labor for eghthour day. and still term himself
the "frend of the workingman'
The etOr most natural is that the AdamsOn law gives the
eght-hour day only to small portion of workers.:
That equivalent saying that nobody should have the eight
hour day until ALL can have it.
Yet if the country eghhour day
at once it would wait forever.
Every victory of body of aborng in their fight for eth
shorter hours higher makes the fight of the next labor
body that much easier
Knowing this how can Mr. Hughes consistently expect the
support of organized labor which he with against
Mr. Wilson, who aids labor with DEEDS?

Dear Miss Grey: In answer
to "Perplexed" will say that
her case is stated clearly,
concisely, and to the point,
in "Harmonics of Evolution"
by Mrs. Florence Huntley.
This author points the way to
! possible solution of this
problem, which after all, is
one which very few of us
are wise enough or lucky
enough to escape. Unhappi-
ness is the mathematical and
inevitable result of mismat-
ing. We must pay the PEN
atty for violation of Natures
laws which are immutable
and Interchangeable. Children
may possibly alleviate some
of the unhappiness which
such mismating has caused.
Happiness Is the ideal
sought for in marriage. Re-
production is an incident,
but not the real key to a
happy union of hearts. Hap
piness is a matter of intelli-
gent oompanionship of SYM
pathy and confidential CO.
operation with another in
dividual of our own plane of
development.
This problem, however, is
an individual one and as an
individual, "Perplexed" must
follow her own highest
ideals and work out her own
happiness. Nothing worth
while is achieved, accom-
plished, or acquired save
through personal effort.

nANIELs sMOKEn OUT.

From the New York sun.
Secretary Daniels has so persist
emily avoided a disclosure of the rec
concentrations Of the General Board
OF the Navy at the time of the out
break of the war in Europe that 1t
seemed as if the country would never
know what they were. Having sup
pressed a letter that he received from
the General Board outlining a plan
of adequate expansion for the navy
Mr.. Daniels, in December. 1914, trans
mitted to the President an annual re-
port recommending a building pro-
gram of two dreadnoughts, six de-
stroyers, eight submarines. one gun
boat and one oiler. which was pre-
posterously inadequate to the needs
of the navy in the shadow Of the great
conflict.
But at last we are TO have the sup
pressed letter of the General Board
spread on the records. In the Sem

in the neighborhood of a merchant
vessel, sent to the bottom than it is to
admit knowledge and then argue
about the legality of the sinking and
the extent to which an avowal Of
wrongdoing should be made.
Berlin has denied any completely in
the sinking of the Sussex. Circum-
stantial evidence must therefore be
relied upon bv our government in
fixing blame on a German submar-
inc. If Berlin persists in asserting
innocence, the United States will be
put in the attitude Of seeking a quar-
rel on a case in which there is an alb
solute disagreement as to the facts,
with some moral uncertainty, instead
of being drawn into one in which the
facts are not disputed and the obliga-
tion to take resolute action is sup
ported by every consideration of jus
tice, as well as of national honor,
prestige and self-respect.
All the rest Of Germany's offences
against neutral rights by which Amer
leans have suffered could not. il piled
together, equal in enormity the crime
.of the Lusitania. All our demands
for an accounting from Germany go
back to that, and so long as full re-
paration for the Lusitania is denied us
10 is fantastic to talk Of taking eX-
treme measures against Germany on
the score of subsequent and pettier
outrages.
II there is to be a break with Berlin
let it be on the main issue-the only
real issue! Such a course may ship
wreck the Wilson diplomacy and may
make painfully conspicuous the ig-
nominy of a policy which has let such
an account stand unsettled for over
eleven months But it will fit the
facts and serve the truth. Friction
over the Sussex case is puerile, while
reparation for the Lusitania still
waits.

THE SEAMEN,S LAW.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The ocean traffic Of the Puget
Sound customs district now exceeds
that of the San Francisco district.
That is not because the people of the
Northwest produce more for export
than the territory tributory to this
city, or that they are able to import
more for their own consumption. On
the contrary, the productive and con-
sumptive ability remain unchanged.
II is because previous TO the enact
ment Of the seamen's bill there was
but one American ship on the Orien-
tai route from Puget Sound, while
from this port there was a large fleet.
The American ships have been retired
from both San Francisco and Puget
Sound ports. The Japanese now mo-
nopolze the Puget Sound service as
well as that from this port-eXCept
one ship. carrying a Chinese crew
and they have not yet had time to
secure new ships for the San Fran
cisco run. They arc doing their best
and as soon as a very energetic peo-
pie can bring 1t about the Japanese
will supply us with all the tonnage
we need
That will move our traffic. for
which we should be and shall be
thankful. but we do not see how it
will help America sailors, which was

As a matter of fact the result OF

RURAL NEW CASTLE

NJ NAL VI W tAo LIE
IN CONVENTION
From the Newark Post.
In the Republican Convention held
at Dover yesterday, we are interested
primarily in the action of Rural New
Castle. The sentiment Of the Repub-
lican party in Rural New Castle was
and is decidedly favorable to Sena-
tor DUPONT. Stranger than that, the
selection made yesterday is in no
wise representative of these rural
hundreds.
The action showed very clearly one
Of two things-either a sad lack of
organization among the rural dis
tricts, or that the delegates used this
method to express their disapproval
of those higher up in party councils.
So far as Rural New Castle is con-
cerned, the action of the Convention
yesterday docs not express the senti-
ments Of the party rank and file.
There is dissatisfaction in many
quarters but not with Senator dupont
as the object Of attack, nor was his
defeat yesterday such an expression
So far as we can learn, it was decid-
edly the opposite.
