ACHIEVEMENTS OF HUGHES.

Perhaps Of the most noteworthy achievements OF
Charles e. Hughes during the early part of his and
that served to attract national attention to him
his crusade against the legitmae methods of life nsur
companies Mr. Hughes tackled that menace to the
protection of American homes at the seat of its operations
in New York city Although every possible obstacle
thrown in his way by interested parties although he
magned and threatened, he went fearessly about his
work and the result complete revision of insurance

of new laws and regulations based upon Mr.. Hughes

the old methods Every holder of life insurance policy

child protected by life Insurance. debt OF gratitude
to Charles E. Hughes for the splendid service he per-
formed in their behalf.
The moral courage displayed by Mr. Hughes in that in
vestigaton has been repeatedly demonstrated Take re-
cent instance Although New York pivotal state and
although both parties putting forth every effort to
secure a majority there it not "a hours after Mr.
Hughes accepted the Republican nomination that he put
William Barnes, ,Jr, out of his organization Mr.. Barnes
the powerful and resomceful Republican boss of New
York That act alone shows the splendid moral fibre OF
Charles E. Hughes 1t is unprecedented IN the history OF
American politics. Mr.. Hughes would rather be defeated
with the opposition of that political boss than to be elected
by his support carrying with 1t at least an assumption OF
surrender to the interests Barnes represents.
Tom Taggart the powerful Democratic boss of Indiana
and owner of that great gambling resort at French Lick
Springs Roger Sullivan, the Democratic boss OF Illinois,
and Murphy, the boss of Tammany still on the job
but Barnes ditched by Hughes at the first opportunity
presented to the Republican candidate to do so.
Mr. Hughes is aligned with special interests. The
Barnes affair alone is sufficient to demonstrate it, al
though his whole public man has presented
continuing and abundant proof of the correctness OF that

to us just how this system is going
to work out here in the country"
said Mrs. Russell as she passed her
guest his cup of tea.
Her husband frowned and turning
his remember-your- position expression
on his wife said tartly: Women
don't understand such things" and
turned to monopolize the conversation
of their guest.
ION the contrary. I am OF the opinion
that women are the ones most inter-
ested in this sch s:ne of our county
superintendent to ring town advant-
ages to the country" Morris was a
little surprised that he should be COM
ing forward to champion the cause of
the snubbed wife. When he stopped to
think about he remembered that
he did not relish Marian's coming into
the conversation when bwas discus
sing a subject with which she was not
familiar.
1.-THE trouble is with women that
they never can concentrate on one
thing for a minute at time. We
would no sooner get started in the
explanation than the baby would cry
or the doorbell would ring, or some
thing would be burning In the kitch-

to have any intelligent conversation
with a woman. They let everything
distract them" The mans air was so
superior that Morris felt like stick
ing q pin into him to see If the in
flated condition could not be reduced.
Mrs. Russell looked red and uncom-
Portable.
Now it seems TO me that because a
woman has so many Interruptions and
so little time for consecutive thinking,
ii devolves upon her lord to get as
many bits Of information over to her
as possible" The hostess shot a
grateful glance across the table to
Morris, and it flashed over the cham

AAMLIN GARLAND WRITES OPEN LErrER.

Charles Evans Hughes.
Dear Sir-The one belief held in
common by the men whose names APP
pear below is the conviction that the
present administration is singularly
untitled for dealing with the problems
forced upon it. The opposition to
President Wilson on the score of his
foreign policy is unanimous
The present administration Is held
to be a minority administration, re-
sulting from a temporary split In the
opposition party. and that many mem
bers of the present congress were
elected at a time when internal
economic reforms were uppermost in
the minds of voters--hence the party's
cabinets pitiful LACK of definiteness
and power when confronted with the
complicate relations of problem
which has been brought very near and
made very pressing by the presence
of submarine battleships within the
gates Of our city harbors.
1t is our conviction that a Republi-
can administration chosen at this
time will come to the conduct Of In
ternational affairs, fortified and in
structed by a careful study of the war.

had in mind first to make the list re-
preventative of American literature,
and. second. to call together on COM
mon ground certain Progressives, Re-
publicans and Democrats. In addition.
I ccrresponded with several we'll
known artists, and included their
names. TO show that our fellow work
ers in other of the fine arts have much
the same conception of the Democratic
administration. could have great
ly extended this roll of names, but it
seemed to me that with the present
list all three of the purposes named
above were accomplished.
Personally, I am perfectly willing to
acknowledge that find myself in
sympathy with much that President
Wilson has forced his party to enact.
Some of his economic reforms are al
most entirely to my way of thinking,
but l cannot overlocl, the fact that he
has in most of his good work merely
trailed the Progressves. and that his
party is, after all, the same inharmon-
ious north and south mixture it has
always been. and that many of his ap-
pointments have been so ill-advised
MS to be ludicrous.
In short, we hold that this is no
time for keeping a theorist in the
White House. and we consider II espe-
cially absurd to retain at the head of

paper. To have the enormously i'm
portant office of secretary of war fill
ed by an inexperienced civic reformer
seems to me a very ill-advised expert
ment
We wish to see at the head Of this
government man who will surround
himself with the most experienced, the
most powerful. the most sagacious, and
the most patriotic men in the nation.
Therefore we have decided to vote for
you-and I take this means of ac-
quainting you with our decision.
So far as possible. a new congress
should be brought together, one that
will have both dignity and high pur-
pose. one that will in all ways sustain
the honor and credit of the nation.
To the task OF bringing about this
change of men and policies, the fol-
lowing writer's and artists lend their
names and influence.

HOW DID YOU DO TT, MR.. DAVIS?

In your sworn statement of primary campaign ex-
penses you say that you bought Oregon Short Line
mileage book for 800 June TO- but that during your trip
IN the northern part of the state in July youlos it, You
therepon take credit for the unused portion of this book
which is perfectly proper and regular.
But
Your statement says you lost this transporta
ton book while your trip in northern Idaho It also
shows that the last place you visited there that trip
was Moscow at which place you paid the Moscow hotel
$l.25 for meals, on July Is.
The next item shown by you is payment for meals and
lodging amounting to $40 at the Owyhee hotel in Boise
on July Is.
You had lost your TRANSFORMATION book: Won did NOT
buy ticket but yet you got Boise from Moscow in
two days.
How did you do it, Mr.. Davis?
1t apparently cost you neither railroad fare, Pullman
1are nor diner charges in making the trip.
How, then, did you do it?
1t is ride OF more than "a hours by train yet you an
pareny found other means of transit without cost
that brought you here Boise in time to run up bill for
meals and lodging at the Owyhee hotel amounting to
$50. What we would like to know is how you did it?
Moreover your statement shows that you left Boise
on June for American Falls and that you paid for Pull
man amounting to ST. and that the next morning YOU paid
Tor breakfast on diner showing that you must have
travelled by the railroad
Yet
buy any railroad ticket.
How did you do that, Mr.. Davis?
Many candidate would like to know how to get from
BOISE as far American Falls without other expense than
sleeper and breakfast. Most of them have to buy
railroad ticket
How did you that expense?
Again. on June 10, you bought your railroad transpor
taton and the next find of you according the same
sworn statement is June II when you paid the Ray
mond hotel $3.50 for meals and lodging.
OF course you had your railroad transportation this
Time and 1t is possible that you sat all night in the car
seat and did not use sleeper and that you carried your
lunch and thus did not need to buy any the diner
But that doesn't furnish any information as to how
you could come all the way from Moscow to Boise in the
