the candidate who will, once he he
comes president, so direct the shin
of state that the United States will
again be regarded with respect by
every foreign government-they will
elect Charles E. Hughes.
Already the allied powers have
entered into trade agreements to
protect themselves against the rest
Of the world; the central powers Of
Europe have entered into a similar
compact. The United States was not
considered in the formulation of
those trade agreements; there was
no consideration given the desires of
this country. Se1f-preservation was
the principle upon which those
agreements were built, and all the
nations of Europe will look to the
United States not as a source of
supply but for markets.
After the war, also, international
law will be rewritten; the world
powers will do the writing. If the
United States has it's full say in out
lining what the international law of
the future shall be, it must be repre-
sented in the conference of nations
by the keenest diplomats this coun-
try can produce.
I need only refer to the stand,
taken by Mr.. Hughes on the protec-
ton of American rights as to life.
property and commerce. He has
spoken clearly on that big issue; his
position is we'll understood; his de-
c1aration of his Americanism has
been SO sincere as to win the enthu-
siastic approval of every audience
that heard him, and his stand for
that protection has won him quite
as much support as his stand for
protection to industry and trade.
The people, in the last few weeks.
have had opportunity to see Mr..
Hughes; they have been impressed
with his sincerity and honesty of
purpose; they have shown their ap-
proval of his policies and the policies
of the party he represents; his
record in New York is made and
Known and It has been Endorsed.

TANK CARS ON "ELLEN N

Great lovers of booze, even if a lot
OF prohibition legislation has been
enacted, for the Southern people are
usually a lot of hypocrites, one rail-
road, the L. & NJ, has found it neces-
sary to provide special coaches in
which none but intoxicated persons
may ride, for Sunday trains.
Since no liquor may be obtained at
points in Mississippi and many places
in Alabama, Alabamians and Mississip-
plans took advantage of the Sunday
trains to "get tanked up
These passengers made it unpleas-
ant for others, hence the special coach
for intoxicated Caucasians. No effort
has been made to provide for the col
ored boozers as "all niggers look
alike" to Southerners and they are al
lowed to stay in the filthy iimcrow
car greatly to the discomfort Of de-
cent colored people VIII are forced to
ride in them.

Negroes but every right Of an
American citizen should be and will
be accorded them. If they fight for
their rights as American citizens by
right OF birth.
HUGHES STRONG POINT.

Mr.. Hughes in his speech to a
colored audience stated that he stood
for equal and exact justice for all
citizens regardless of color, and he
said further:
am sure you do not wish par
tieular things done because of color"
That was strong point, so it seems
queer that some of the jim-crow
colored papers were careful to elimi-
nate it. Cutting out a strong point
like that shows the working of the
jim-crow mind. -
The American thinking, intelligent,
levelheaded colored people certainly
do not want any particular thing, no
matter how alluring, because of color,
If they are treated exactly as other
Americans are treated they'll be sat-
isfied. They are not asking different
treatment or especial favors because
of color. X
