who are in close touch with Latin
America and the views of the people
there as ludicrous in the extreme. The
view entertained here-it is more than
a view, it is a conviction-is that no
President has done so much, or done
it so effectively as Mr.. Wilson to allse-

destroy confidence in the good faith

said that the bureau of Foreign and

"NOt Arbitrable"-"I do not regard
the question of the principle of the
eight-hour day as arbitrable," declared
Mr.. Wilson in his last speech at Shad-
ow Lawn, in which he made pretense
Of defending his course regarding the
railway wage-increase bill. The Erd-
man Act, formally enacted by Con-
gress, treats the eight-hour day as ar
titrable. In fact, it especially enjoins
on the Board of Mediation and Concil-
iatinon which it creates the duty of
first, offering its own services as a
mediator and. second, failing to ef-
feet a settlement in the role of medi-
ator, to do all in its power to bring
about arbitration of any controversy
which may arise between common
carriers and their employees. Every
President prior to Mr.. Wilson has re-
garded a formal enactment of Con-
gress as establishing the principle en-
bodied therein, subject only to the
verdict of the Supreme Court that such
statute violated the Constitution. But
with Mr.. Wilson has come the new dis
pensation, the rule that the personal
opinion of the President is supreme
and that before it no law enacted by
Congress is of value.

Wilson, Free Trader-Presiden viii

speech to the National Grain Dealers
convention at Baltimore, has occasion
ell serious alarm among his. political
managers. Mr.. Wilson said, IL want
to see America pitted against the
world. not in selfshness but in
brains" Expressed in plain English,
instead of in that parabolic phrase
ology in which MIR. Wilson delights,
this means that the American policy
of protection must be abandoned as
selfish and that American brains and
American labor must be "pitted
against the world" Woodrow Wilson
and his party are. of course. essen

tions have gone forth from the Demo-
cratic headquarters to the Democratic
speakers to soft pedal on the the free

the American voters. In 1912, 1.SOO,-
900 more votes were cast for RoOse-

COURT

Frankfort, September 2S-The APP.
pelate Court held that the nomination
OF NJ. j. Meagher, as the Democratic
candidate for Senator in the Twentieth
district is ineffective because Cover
nor Stanley had not called an election
The injunction granted by the Frank

that the Governor can not call an cleo
ton to MI the vacancy in this district
until he has first called a special SEES
sion OF the Legislature.
Three questions were determined In
this case. The court held that equity
has jurisdiction not only to preserve the
rights which an officer has In his Of
fee, but also TO protect the rights
which a candidate has in the nonina-
ton for an Office.
The court further held that the &C,
ceptance Of the Office of State Banking
Commissioners by Senator George O.
speer created vacancy in the sena-
torship. as the two offices are incompa-
tible, IL then held that the nomina.
ton OF Meagher to MI his vacancy
was Ineffective because Governor Stan

Cummins Nisled-If Senator Cum
Minis is correctly quoted regarding the
Child Labor bill and Gov. Hughes
comments thereon, the Senator from
Iowa has been seriously misled. Gov.
Hughes has pointed out that it was
only with the aid of Republican Sena-
tors that this bill was passed and that
he had himself been an active oppo-
nent of child-labor long before the
Wilson Administration was ever heard
of. Regarding the broad principle Of
prohibiting child labor, Mr.. Hughes
has further pointed out that Mr.. Will
son and his Democratic friends have
nothing to boast of, for the further
reason that it is in state entirely con-
trolled by Democrats that the evil is
greatest, and that it is generally an
evil which the federal statute cannot
reach and which must be dealt with by
state legislation.
