Protective Tariff /

Industries to Meet
EuropeC Competition
Declaration by Charles Evans Hughes in Fri
day Evening Speech at Cheyenne, Wyoming

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 25.-Charles
E. Hughes tonight addressed an audi
ence at Frontier Park here on the i'm
portance of upbuilding American in
dustries to meet European competition
after the war. This, he said, could not
be done under a tariff for revenue on
ly. but could be accomplished under q
protective tariff such as the Republi-
can party proposed. :
In beginning he emphasized the fact
that he represented a reunited party.
I'VE have set aside our differences in
order that we may achieve great ma
tional aims" he said. These aims are
SO high that they transcend everv
possibility Of differences. come as the
spokesman Of an historic party recon
secrated to its best ideals and pledged
to the service Of this great nation at
an extremely critical time. .
The problems that we are facing
today are not exactly like those which
we have dealt with in the past We
are entering upon a new era of history.
l do not think the world will be the
same after the European war as it
was before.
The upbuilding Of American indus
try" he said, lies at the very founda-
ton of the future Of the United States.
1t can never be done under an admin
istration that frames its tariff for rev.
enue only"
Mr.. Hughes reiterated his declara-
ton that he favored the appointment
only Of competent, experienced men
to the diplomatic service. He also as
sailed the administrations foreign
policy and cited its course toward
Mexico as "a conspicuous example o.
what we ought not to do."

FkRNUM IS GREAT IN
 PLAY AT THE ROYAL
Big Fox Feature With Noted Star in Lead, Said to be
 Best Ever Presented Here

The only wireless plant in exist ence, owned and operated to keep a moving picture compay in communica- ton with the maitland is that on the Santa Cruz Islands in the Pacific, where William Farnum and his com- pany made the new photoplay Battle of Hearts" which appears at the Roy al for the last time today, for Wik liam Fox.
 There Is no telegraph or telephone. special delivery or any other means of communication between the islands and the California mainland. When Director Oscar C. Apfel announced that the scenes of Battle of Hearts" would be made there. members of the company began bombarding him with questions as to sailing d9vs. trolley systems and how often mails were re- ceiyed He told them that the islands were practically uninhabited, and that after the boat that landed them re- turned there would be nothing until aUOIDGT DOGt CdlilC ttitA = lo lSfNI tA.S4i4 back.
 "Whatll we do for mail or if some Of us are ill?" asked Elda Furry, who succeeded Dorothy Bernard as Will liam Farnum's leading woman. 1 get a telegram from a certain party at least once a dy."
 Other members made such protest that Director Apfel promised to in- stall the wireless plant if they would and for a daily news service during the stay of the company on the is lands.
 The Santa Barbara channel which separate sthe islands from the main- land during this seaso of the year. is no millpond and the shippers of coast ing vessels dread and avoid it. The launch, which makes the forty miles across once a week. is frequently held up and never averages more than three trips a month. The Fox players thus were immune ffrom wind or weather interfering with their main land communication.
