 Men in this year of voting are hon. estly seeking after the truth. If they are not in accord with what Presi- dent Wilson has done they are search ing for some one who can do better, who would have handled differently all the situations the President has had to settle. In the first instance. these men thought Mr. Hughes would was what the doctor ordered, else he would not have forsaken the Su- preme Court. As the Hughes tour goes on, however, it is seen that there is great disappointment. It is not so much a disappointment in the can didate himself as it is a disappoint- ment in his trained troupe of camp followers. They are of such motley color that they scare off many who would not be afraid of MT. Hughes were he standing by himself. With the Rooseveltians, the Lodges, and the pro-Britishers on one side, and the Bidders, the O'Learyites, the German-Am erican Alliance on the other, it is no wonder that men have become fired with the spirit Of Missouri. And they must be shown. But MT. Hughes is not showing them.

 Question: What would you have done, MT. Hughes, if this had hap pened and you had been President?"
 If I had been President this could not have happened, because L would have caused it to be known in advance that I was opposed to train robberies and I would have said this with such firmness that every one would have known that I was determined to up- hold American property rights on land and sea, and the robbery would not have taken place. This robbery was due entirely to the weak and vacilla- ting policy of Woodrow Wilson" Loud cheers.)-From speech that MT. Hughes might have made, as re- ported by The New York World.

The Wind of Death.

(Ethelwyn Wetherald, Canadian Poet) The wind of death that softly blows The last warm petal from the rose, The last dry leaf from off the tree, Tonight has come to breathe on me. There was a time I learned to hate The passion held me fixed as fate, Burned. in my veins early and late, But now wind falls from above
 The wind of death that silently
 Enshroudeth friend and enemy There was a time my sout was
 thrilled;
 Am mbitfon forced me where he willed, And with his power my life was filled. But now the old-time pulses stir
 How faintly in the wind of death
 That bloweth lightly as a breath And once but once at Loves dear feet I yielded strength and life and heart; His look turned bitter into sweet; The wind blows loves like leaves
 apart
 The wind of death, that tenderly
 Is blowing twixt my love and me. Q wind of death! that dafkly blows Each separate ship of human woes Far out on a mysterious sea, turn. I turn my face to thee!

WILD ENTHUSIASM
 AS WILSON SPEAKS
Cheered for Ten Minutes by
 18,OOO in Chicago Hall

Chicago, Oct. 20.-President Wilson closed a remarkable day in Chicago by addressing a crowd of 18,000 persons at the International Amphitheatre on the south side last night. The ovation was the greatest he has received since the campaign began. The crowd, when the president entered, cheered him wildly for ten minutes before it could be quieted, Governor Dunne, who sat beside the president on the platform, helped to lead the demon- stration.
 The scene resembled a national con- vention. Hats were thrown into the air and there were all the other mani festations of political enthusiasm.
 The meeting was an outcome of the third annual convention of the New Citizens Alliance. The audience was sc impatient to hear the president that it would hardly permit Governor Dunne to speak. Clarence A. Good win, who acted as chairman, was constantly interrupted with shouts for

and there never will be until it IS taken out of politics. The Presldehe
 of the United States plans to do thls
 thing, to take the tariff out ot polltlcs' To this end was created the Tariff Commission. And whether Woodrow
 Wilson is reelected or defeated on
 November he is going to appoint the
 membership of that Commission be- fore March A. He is working on that now. Yesterday in Chicago, speaking
 before some ten thousand women,
 President Wilson said the object of this Tariff Commission is ito throw light upon what everybody thought they knew all about, and very few
 people have known anything about at all. My interest in promoting the Tariff Commission was that I wanted
 to find a body of men who would look
 at this thing without caring which
 way the facts cut I want to find men
 who will make a scientific inquiry as to the facts, and make an absolutely fearless and frank report, and then let
 us go on these facts and not on OUT prepossessions. That is the object of the Federal Trade Commission, too"
 No party can afford to make Ihe tariff an issue in this campaign, De- cause the Tariff Commission precludes any such attempt. Tn the campaign of four years ago, the tariff was an issue because the Payne-Aldrich tariff was brought before the bar Of public opinion and condemned to die. All parties in that campaign prom ised tariff reform, Republican, Demo- cratic and Progressive. It was re- vision of the tariff downward that tho people wanted, and that is what they got. President Taft in 1908 promised revision downward, and the Payne Aldrich tariff was the result
 Whether the Underwood tariff IS a good tariff or a bad tariff is imma- terial, for the simple reason that the tariff commission will go over the en- tire ground again and see that Justlce is done. If the proper men are placed on that commission, and there Is no doubt the best men in the country will be secured, they will go at their task with every precaution agalnst wrong doing. Every manufacturer ln the country will have an opportunity to be heard, and no gentleman need l abandon the comfort of his London club to offer expert opinion. There l are plenty of men in America who 1 can take care of this job.

Politics must indeed be in 2. had Etate this year when gentlemen must be Imported from England to tell the voters of New Britain how they shall east their ballots. This happened at ? rally last night, One of the speak CTS was London clubman, a gentle man who had left America some years previous and who has remained away from this country long enough to for Feit his vote. He still retains enough interest in his native land, however, to defray his own expenses across the Atlantic in order to guide American voters right. This, according to his own words, He will remain in this land until November 8, after which he, VIII depart for dear oP Lunnon. The sole object of his visit here is to see that America gets d high protective tariff.
 An evening spent in discussing the tariff, high Or low, is an evening cast away for no purpose at all. Especially Is this so when the politicians take this subject in hand. Every thinking man and woman in the country, whether they be Democrats or Repub- Hcans knows that there has never been g, tariff bill in this country that was absolutely suited to all conditions,

 The Herald in its news columns tells in detail the story of his event ful life, but to those who knew him Intimately he was a wonderful man, hy as the day is long, with high morals and with 8 character which increased in beauty and purity with the passing of the years. He served his day and lis generation with devotion that was inspiring and thorough and dur ing all his busy days he found time for religious thought and service that made him a churchman of piety and distinction, As he grew older he re- 1oiced in the peace and quiet that comes to the aged, was content with the restrictions which the infirmities or his years necessitated, was bliss fully pleased at the joys and pleasures that come to the younger men and women about him and carried his great age with grace and dignity that added to the beauty of his char aeter and the sweetness of his every day life.
