THE NATION is SHOCKING
LY UNPREPARED.

1t Is apparent that we are
shockingly unprepared. There
Is no room for controversy on
this point since the object les
son on the Mexican border. All
our available regular troops
Oess, | believe, than 100000 are
there or in Mexico, and as these
have been deemed insufficient
the entire National Guard has
been ordered out; that is, we
are summonlng practically all
our movable military forces in
order TO present bandit incur
sions. In view of the warnings
of the past three years, ii is
ineXcusable that we should find
ourselves In this plight. For
our faithful guardsmen, who
with a fine patriotism responded
10 this call and are bearing this
burden, l have nothing but
praise. But | think ii little
short Of absurd that we should
be compelled to call men from
their shops, their factories, their
offices and their professions for
such q purpose. This, however.
is not all. The units of the Ma
tional Guard were at peace
strength, which was only about
one-half the required strength.
1t was necessary to bring In
recruits, for the most part raw
and unframed. Only a small
percentage of the regiments re-
cruited up to war strength will
have had even q years training
In the National Guard, which at
the maximum means one hun
dred hours Of military drill, and,
on the average, means much
less. Men fresh from their
peaceful employments and ply
sically unprepared have been
hurried to the border for actual
service. They were without
proper equipment; without
necessary supplies; suitable
conditions of transportation
were not provided. Men with
dependent families were sent;
and conditions which should
have been well known were dis
covered after the event. And
yet the exigency. comparatively
speaking. was not a very grave
one. 1t involved nothing that
could not readily have been fore
seen during the past three years
Of disturbance, and required
only q modest talent for organ
ization. That this Administra-
ton while. pursuing Its course
In Mexico should have permitted
such conditions to exist Is al
most incredlble.-From Mr..
Hughes speech Of acceptance.

america FIRST AND AMER
ICA EFFICIENT"

We come to state in q plain
and direct manner our faith,
our purpose and our pledge.
This representative gathering is
a happy augury. II means the
strength of reunion. II means
that the party of Lincoln is re-
stored, alert, effective. II means
the unity Of common percep-
ton Of paramount national
needs. II means that we are
neither deceived nor benumbed
by abnormal conditions. We
know that we are in a critical
period, perhaps more critical
than any period since the Civil
War. We need dominant
sense Of national unity; the ex-
ercise Of our best constructive
powers; the vigor and resource
fulness of a quickened America.
We desire that the Republican
Party as a great liberty party
shall be the agency Of national
achievement, the organ of the
effective expression of dominant
Americanism. What do ! mean
by that? mean America con-
scious Of power, awake to obIl-
cation, erect In seIf-respect, pre-
pared for every emergency, de-
voted to the ideals Of peace, in
stinct with the spirit Of human
brotherhood, safeguarding both
Individual opportunity and tho
public Interest, maintaining
weII-ordered constitutional sys-
tenn adapted to local self-oovern-
ment without the sacrifice Of
essential national authority, ap-
preclatIng the necessity Of sta
bIIity, expert knowledge and
thorough organization as the In
dispensable conditions Of Sc
curity and progress; a country
loved by it's citizens with a pa
triotic fervor permitting no diVi-
sion In their allegiance and no
rivals In their Affection mean
America first and America eff
cient. Ii is in this spirit that
! respond to your summons
From Mr.. Hughes speech of ac-
ceptance.

POPULAR HUGHES CAMPAIGN
FUND

The plan adopted by Cornelius n.
Bliss, Jr., treasurer of the Republican
National Committee, TO raise money
for the campaign and increase the
force of active workers for the cleo
ton of Charles Evans Hughes TO the
presidency has peculiar merit. Mr..
Bliss asks every one who favOrs the
election Of Mr.. Hughes and wishes him
TO have the support Of a Republican
Senate and House 20 contribute so
and become a sustaining member Of
the Republican party. All such will
receive a certificate Of membership.
That the money will prove a good In
vestment is patent. 1t will help TO Sc
cure for the country a more efficient
administration of our national affairs,
which is necessary if the prosperity
and influence of the nation is TO con-
tinue.
There are at least 100000 Repub-
leans, but how many Of them have
any evidence they are, beyond the con-
seriousness that they have voted or
will vote the Republican ticket? The
work is done by few and the money
ordinarily is provided by fewer. Mr.
Bliss plan offers n cure for that con-
ditiOn. Help the cause and get GER
tifcate of membership that will estab-
lish your party afIiliation 1t is not
expected that all the 100000 Repub-
leans will give so each, but If
goodly number who can afford it do
so there will be great many more
able TO give much more than SO next
time because Republican success will
mean to the country IL. fullest measure
preparedness, protection and perma-
nent prosperity.
Mr.. Hughes is seeing how big the
West is, and the West is seeing how
big Mr.. Hughes is. 1t is a happy ar
rangement.
Friends Of Wilson are still trying
to explain what he meant by "too
proud to fight" But can they tell us
what he meant by "strict accountable
ityT"
Eminent judges" says Colonel Hen
ry Watterson, "have ever proved dis
appointing candidates" He is right.
Alton b. Parker was big disappoint-
ment to the Democrats. And so Is
Charles Evans Hughes.-Toledo Blade.
President Wilson appears to have
been keenly alive TO the expediency
of accepting several invitations to
make speeches in the West. Nobody
knows any better than he that II will
take considerable shoveling to fill up
the holes that have been dug In that
locality by Justice Hughes.
1t was John p. st. John Of Kansas,
one time Prohibitionist candidate for
president of the United States, who
said that Americans vote as they
cheer. If so, there is mighty little
consolation for the Democratic party
In this campaign, for the Democratic
Administration In three years has CIV
en- us nothing to cheer over. On the
contrary, as Mr.. Hughes has said
these last three years have been years
of humiliation and embarrassment.
Mr.. Wilson says his. mind Is pro-
gressive, but those who try to follow
Its progress can never tell the dlrec-
ton II Is taking. 1t is just as likely
10 be progressing backward as for
ward.
At Princeton Mr.. Wilson useu 20
confer honors upon .. DIS. He couldn't
break the habit when it came to De

IBERIA POULTRY ASSOCIA-
TON.

Last Wednesday night the Ibe-
ria Poultry Association held a
very enthusiastic meeting. Rou-
/ tine business was transacted. alter
which Mr.. Rolf from Baton
/ Rouge addressed the audiences.
which was one Of the largest seen
at poultry meeting. Mr.. Roll
not only impressed his audience
as TO the opportunities aud posi-
hilitlcs of Iberia Parish rs poul-
try coutcr. but that If had already
demonstrated beyond question
that if had won the title OF being
the section having the greatest
number tf high grade thorough
bred stock in Louisiana. The
breeders here. nearly all Of them
being amateurs had gone TO the
biggest shows Of the south and
had made the BIGGEST winnings
in the show. He said that New
iberia bad the distinction Of hav-
mo won three world $ records
this season. For instance at the
last two shows held. the New lbc-
ria breeders had won as follows:
At Alexandria out of FIVE cham
plonships offered, New Iberia had
carried home four. and at Lake
Charles. the largest Exclusive
Poultry Show ever held in the
South. New iberia brought home
five out of the six championships
offered. the sixth gong 10 Chat
tanooga. Tenn. All this in addl-
ton to many first. specials. etc.
Mr.. Rolf said. that it was his aim
to have things SO arranged in the
future that he might be able to
devote about one-fourth of his
time to Iberia Parish. Every one
present left with the impression
that New Iberia had made n rec
ord. uneOuallcd. and the advcr-
tiscment. Mr.. Rolf said, resulting
from such record was worth a
world to Iberia Parish Already
all the poultry Journals of the
country were telling the story Of
the wonderful records made by /
the New Iberia fanciers.
After this talk. the Chairman
called on DR.. Goodwin. Mrs. !
