= nunciation Of President Wilson's
betrayal Of the cause of arbitra-
ton and his forcing Congress to sur.
render has heartened the Republicans
and dismayed. the Democrats. Incl.
dentally, it has sent the cold shivers
down the backs Of some Of the pussy
footed among Mr.. Hughes campaign
advisers, but then they knew, or
! should have known, that their candi-
date was essentially his own man ano
that his past record showed that he
would stand squarely and unequivo.
cally for the right, regardless Of DO.
litical expediency or the anxiety OF
the timid souls. even in his own par
ty. At Nashville. Mr.. Hughes de-
nounced the action Of Mr.. Wilson and
the Democratic majorities in Congress
as "a surrender Of reason to force
and tyranny" He said, II believe in
and I stand here firmly for the prin.
caple Of arbitrating all Industrial dis.
putes, and l would not surrender 1t to
anybody in the country. Il stand
for two things:-First, for the princi.
pie Of fair. impartial, thorough. can.
did arbitration; second, for legislation
on facts according to the necessities
Of the case; am opposed to being
dictated to either In the Executive de-.
partment or in Congress by any pow.
er on earth before the facts are
known and In the absence Of the
facts" It was, Of courro, idle to ex-
pect that man Of Gov. Hughes rec
ord would be swayed by motives Of
political expediency, or even that he
would refrain from expressing his
views on SO important a subject. Mr..
Hughes record as Governor of New
York abundantly proves him the
friend Of labor, and his attitude to-
ward the legislation which Mr.. vii.
son forced through Congress may
prove that he is far more Of q friend
new than a Chief Executive who
would give labor everything It asks
on the eve Of an election and at other
times denounce labor In the unfairest
terms.

Editorial Comment

THE REAL SERVICE OF MR..
HUGHES.

From the Independent.
And now Mr.. Hughes is national
figure. II he is elected president he,
too, will blunder. But If We mistake
not he will add something to our NOR.
al heritage that no one else has yet
given-the conscience of the engi-
neer, the feeling that in public mat
tiers at least inefficiency is O mortal
and not a venial sin. His criticism
Of the tariff policy and Of the foreign
policy of the present administration
might have been made by any one;
right or wrong, they are not his indi-
vidual contribution to American poll
tics. But in singing out for specia.
emphasis In his speech Of acceptance
something so remote and colorless to
the average citizens as national
budget Mr.. Hughes placed the com.
munity under an enormous debt to his
courage and insight. These admin
istrative reforms which seem SO dull
are really more important to our ma
tional welfare than half rthe party
creeds on protection, preparedness,
dissolution Of the trusts, the retention
or REIMBURSEMENT Of the Philippines,
and other topics that easily attract the
voters attention and enlist his en-
thusiasm. The simple fact is that our
government, superior to the politica!
systems of other countries in a thou
sand other ways, is by European
standards glaringly Inefficient; that
We waste hundreds Of millions Of dol.
lars every year by the spoils system,
the pork barrel. and by sheer ;'oven-
Illness of congressional procedure, and
that the time is fast coming when our
surplus wealth will no longer serve
! as an Offset to our unscientifc public
methods. And we are glad to see that
Mr.. Hughes Is really rousing the ma
ton to meet these unpalatable truths
and that he is making efficient ad-
ministration as popular q slogan as

Roosevelt reform, or Mr.. Taft inter-
nationalism, or MIR. Wilson humans

tention to the dangers to this country
at the close Of the European war, pub.

row Wilson's historical writings show.
ing what was done after the War OF
1912, and points out how as the coun.
try was then saved from the food Of
foreign goods It can now be saved
II President Wilson will follow the
policy that Historian Wilson advoca.
ted. On this point the Post says:
There should be no hesitancy on the
part of President wilson in evolving
policy for the United. States. There
is no need for pride of opinion when
the whole world is changing. AS a
historian, Mr.. Wilson wrote Impartial
lily Of the conditions that followed the
close ofthe war of 1912. In one Of
his books he said:
peace changed the very face of
trade. English merchants poured
their goods once again into the Amer
lean ports so long shut against them
by embargoes and war. It was man.
ifestly injurious to every young in
dustry that flood Of English imports
should continue to pour into the coun-
try at the open ports. The remedy
was protective tariff, such as Mr..
Hamilton had wishes to see at first,
and the young Republican leaders Of
Congress did not hesitate to advo:
cate and establish It."
Similar conditions face the country
today. The President can eliminate
one Of the biggest issues Of the cam.
paign by drawing upon his knowledge
Of history and giving the country
what is needed to meet the situation
which Is fast approaching
