AN UNBIASED VIEW.
Comment In Washington Shows
Hughes Speeches nave Con-
crete Effect.

From Washington correspondence
New York Evening Post:
1t is Idle even for the Democrats to
claim that Mr.. Hughes speeches have
not been effective. Whether or not
they have seemed so to the voters In
the west and northwest is something
very difficult to judge at this distance.
but 1t Is not to be denied that right
here In Washington Mr. Hughes utter
ances have had very concrete effect.
1t Is an i'll wind that blows no good.
The rumpus that Mr.. Hughes has
stirred up about civil service reform
has really got under the skin of the
administration 1t is something which
the president and his political advisers
carelessly ignored. So 1t is with pOr-
ton Of Mr.. Hughes criticism of the
Mexican policy. When he argues that
the paramount duty of the United
States is to protect its citizens abroad
in their lives and property he is stand
ing on unimpeachable ground. And
the administration knows 1t. The eff
feet certainly of Mr.. Hughes remarks
will be to stlffen the hand of the ad-
ministratiOn In dealing with a ques-
tion Of protection for Americans
abroad

HUGHES, LABOR RECORD.

When Mr.. Gompers, remembering
only that he Is n Democrat and forget.
ting that he Is leader Of organized
labor, ventured to assert that Mr..
Hughes Is unfrlendly to labor because
he concurred In the unanimous decl-
sion In the Danbury hatters' case, he
ventured on very thin Ice. The Chicago
Tribune promptly reminds him that an
honest Judge must apply the law as he
thinks 1t is, not as he thinks 1t ought
to be, and asks him to tell those who
look to him for political advice some
thing about the record Of Mr.. Hughes
as governor. Read what the Legislative
Labor News, the official organ of the
New York Federation of Labor, said
editorially when Mr.. Hughes left the
governors chair at Albany for his
place on the supreme court. Here 1t is:
Now that Governor Hughes has re-
tired from politics and ascended to a
place on the highest judicial tribunal
in the world, the fact can be acknOwl-
edged without hurting anybody's pOlit-
ical corns that he was the greatest
friend of labor laws that ever occupied
the governors chair at Albany. During
his two terms he has signed fifty-slX
labor laws, including among them the
best labor laws ever enacted In this or
any state.
"He also urged the enactment of
labor laws in his messages to the legis-
lature, even going 50 far as to place
the demand for a labor law In one Of
his messages to an extra session of the
legislature.
"0nly 1862 labor laws have been en-
acted in this state since its erection in
1777-in 1873 years. One-third Of these,
exceeding in quality all of the others,
have been enacted and signed during
Governor Hughes term of three years
and nine months"
Let organized labor take to hear
what the Chicago Tribune says on this
point: "Mr Hughes Is no demagogue
and no visionary. He is a man Of cour-
age and conscience, and if labor can
not conflde its cause to his rock bot
tom Americanism there is something
wrong with its cause. Boston Her

net revenue whatever, and in those
years it was trifling.
THE borrowing power of many
perhaps most-American railroads
is exhausted. Shareholders must
yearly supply large amounts Of new
capital before they can hope to sell
any bonds. And there are not a
dozen railroads in the country which
can sell shares at all.
"The railroads of the country are
at standstill. In spite of the pres
ent wonderful prosperity, the saw
ing and accumulating people of the
country who over-freely bought rail-
roads are now putting their money
into industrial enterprises, bonds
supported by the taxing power in
this and foreign countries, foreign
industrial and other enterprises, and
in fact anything on earth other than
American railroads. Insurance and
other institutions which ought not
to buy shares are buying back the
underlying railroad bonds from Eu-
rope, but that does not give the
railroads any new money.
How are the American people to
get a billion dollars of new money
year, imperatively needed by
American railroads? 1t can only be
by making adequate dividends prob
able. San Francisco Chronicle.

Our ever-active and accommodate

august parsonage to the great Puget
Sound city of Seattle, which years
ago Henry Ward Beecher prophesied
would in time become the New York
city of the Pacific coast country.
The ride from Ashland by the
7:40 a. m. train places the traveller
in complete possession Of the entire
route by daylight from Ashland to
Portland, and it may be stated, with
out undue elation on the part of the
average OregOnian, that nowhere
can any stretch of country be found
that can vie with II in natural pic
turesque beauty in which the ele-
ment of variety so overwhelmingly
asserts itself. marked contrast in
this particular is observable in the
passage between Portland and Seat

most desirable locations in the Ever

THE GREATEST OF REApJUsTERs

[From the New York Evening Postl
We do not see why there should
have been any stir in the senate over
the discovery that President Wilson
has completely reversed himself in the
matter of the proposed child labor
law. Senator Borah was able to show
that Mr.. Wilson described this legis-
lation in his Constitutional Govern
ment" rs unconstitutional and "ob-
viously absurd extravaganza, carrying
the congressional power to regulate
commerce beyond the utmost bounda-
ries of reasonable and honest infer
ence," and making it possible, If sus-
tained, for congress to legislate over
"every particular Of the industrial or
ganizatiOn and action Of the country"
That, we must confess, has also been
the Evening Posts view. But the
Evening Post and Senator Borah are
old fogies, dating back to the time
when 1t was the custom to have fixed
beliefs and principles and stick to
them.
The senator has evidently not read
Mr.. Wilson's letter in explaining his
change Of front on the tariff commits
sion-that 1t is only narrow man
whose mind is stupidity closed to new
ideas, who does not alter his opinions.
BY this test Mr. Wilson Is obviously
one of the broadest minded men this
country has ever produced, for he has
changed his mind to date2Cn the initia-
tive, referendum, recall, woman suf-
frage, the tariff commission, tariffs for
revenue only, permanent diplomatic
service beyond politics, the merit sys-
TEN in the civil service, the proper
place of Tammany Hall in the scheme
of the universe, child labor legislation,
preparedness, Bryan, continental ar
my-but why continue? 1t is long
enough list to prove that Mr.. Wilson's
political views are not fossilized by
any fear Of inconsistency.

Without committing myself to any
sort of an opinion upon two some
what delicate questions, let me en-
join upon your readers, lay and di-
vine, two paragraph references to
holy things that may perhaps set the
readers of the Tidings to do a little
thinking along the lines of love and
Christian charity. This is my first
quotation: THE willy Pope, when
there was doubt about the outcome
of the war, which was instigated by
the Pope, was silent, wanting to be
on the crest of the wave. He has
now ordered prayers for the allies.
At the end he will want some great
reward for this small favor. But is
it favor? Nearly everything ever
blessed by the Pope has been blight
ed and come to grief" This is the
other Ministers seem willing to
preach on every subject but the Cos
pei, and when they do stumble upon
that rich theme they seem to dis
credit its divine origin. It is sad
but true, and pity 'tis 'tis true"
