Mr.. HUGHES WEAK CAMPAIGN

In all kindness and charity, it might be suggested to the leaders Of the
Republican party that if they are really DESTROYS OF lecting their man
Hughes to the office OF President OF the United States the wisest thing
they could do would be to keep him at home and advise him, W there,
to hold his tongue.
Nh. Hughes added nothing to his reputation a a hgh-minded and
coureous. gentleman by the cut not he addressed to the president in the
tender of his resignation OF the office OF justice Of the Supreme court
He has added little to the public estimation OF his mental caIbre by his
letter Of acceptance O the presidential nomination and nothing to his
reputation for ability o political acumen by his campaign speeches since
he began his swing around the circle.
Mr. Hughes "a a vigorous and successful public investigating attor-
ny and his mental bent seems still to be in that direction. 1t as in that
line OF work that he gained his first distinction and naturally his tastes arc
in line with his greatest efficiency. His campaign speeches have SO far
been devoid Of any suggestions of constructive legislation or OF any high
purpose OF administration beyond the bare, abstract suggestion of some
thing different from what is and has been.
He has simply appeared in the role OF critical public prosecutor OF the
powers that be, with the expression OF a desire to have the authority to
investigate for about six months" That is a very moderate wish for a
man who aspircs to be President OF the United States and perhaps Dem
ocrats and Republicans alike would cheerfully accord him the authority
he Graves for the full period OF hall a year, with the privilege o extension
if he had not learned all that he wished to know Or that might be found
out within that time!
But in order to have the authority to investigate it is OF necessary
that n should occupy the high office of chief executive OF a great nation.
He might be made chairman OF a commission. with power o summon wit
nessesa and administer oath, or he might be appointed to an office of pub
lie advocate similar /. the ON held by him when he rendered a service to
his state, which was at least partially compensated by his election as
governor and his subsequent elevation to the Supreme bench-San An

JUDGE LINDSEY FOR WILSON

Judge Ben. b. Lindsey, OF Denver, Colorado, famous as a Juvenile
court Judge, will support President Wilson for reelection. Judge Lind
sey is a former Republican. He a delegate to the Republican conven-
ton At Chicago in 1912 and left that convention with the other delegates
supporters OF Theodore Roosevelt-who formed the Progressive party.
Judge Lindsey sent the following telegram to President Wilson at
Washington:
Denver, Colo, Aug. 9, 1916.
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, Washington, d. c.
For many years a member OF the National Child Labor Committee
favorng a Federal child labor bill aboEshng slavery, and asa recent
member OF the National Executive committee OF the Progressive party,
wish heartily to congratulate you o the passage of the Heating Child
Labor bill. Your splendid attitude on this question and Willingness to
change from your former position with the States rights Democrats or
Federal or National control when it becomes clearly apparent that it is
the best method to put an end to tertain evils O advance certain rights,
should be sufficient proof to waverng Progressives that the Democratic
party is as willing as the Republican party in proper cases, to put the
National welfare above state considerations. AS an ardent advocate OF
a national woman's suffrage amendment, ! a m convinced that the major
iy of the Democratic congressman will eventually favor such a measure
as they now have passed a national child labor law. The he consrruc-
tive LEGISLATION OF nj administration strongly appeals to me a a
Progressive, and while am a non-partisan candidate for Juvenile Judge
here, when it comes to national issues N this campaign, | fee it my duty
as we'll az my pleasure as a Progressive to assure you OF my cordial sup
port.

HOW RURAL EDIT LAW WILL BE

The act provides for the creahon OF twelve Federal land banks and
permits the establishment OF any number OF joint stock land banks for
the purpose OF making loans al a reasonable rate OF interest, for long
periods OF time, N farm lands.
A Federal farm loan board has complete control owe these banks.
A-FEDERA- LAND BANKS
Twelve Federal land banks re provided, one in each of twelve dis
tricts into which the country will be divided. These banks ar empowered
approved purposes. The loans are to be made through farm loan associa-
tons and agents. No loan may be made for more than so per cent OF
the vauc Of the land mortgaged and 20 per cen OF the permanent
insured improvements upon ii.
National farm loan associaions-local organizations composed x
clusively OF borrowers-are authorized These associations must be stock
holders in the land banks in proportion % the amount their members
wish to borrow. Eventually all stock in the Federal land banks will be
owned exclusively by these associations.
A reasonable interest rate is established. The act prohibits the Fed
eral land banks from charging more than 6 per cen n any mortgage,
or requiring fees not approved by the farm loan board.
The borrowers will share in the net profits OF the bank because they
are stockholders ii contemplated that ultimately the borrowers will be
the only stockholders.
Long term loans are provided by authorizing mortgages for periods
of from five up to forty years.
Small annual or emiannual payments on the principal are made a
required feature of all mortgages,
B-JOlNT LAND BANKS
Joint stock land banks are authorized. They are corporations
for carrying ON the business OIL lending on farm mortgage security and
issuing farm loan bonds. They are to be under the supervision OF the
farm loan board, but the government will not invest in them. Subject to
geographical limitations and subject ITO the 50 per cent and 20 per
cent limitation, these banks car lend to a individual amy amount they
wish and for any purpose. They can not charge an interest rate *
ceedng 6 Der cent and such ate must not exceed by more than
pr cent the interest they have paid % their las: issus OF bonds. Their
mortgages, however, must provide for amortization payments. These
banks are prohibited from charging under any pretext, fees II COM

nothing will be pulled off, II tariff Legislation for private benefit at
public expense. Let him consult with Mr.. Taft who declared that sched-
uhs OF the Payne-Aldrch tariff bill we're indefensible and then signed
and defended it. If MI. Hughes is elected president with a Republican
senate and Nuse to support him, Senator Boles Penrose of Pennsylvania
will be chairman of the Senate Finance committee and Representative

SHIFTING POLICY
COSTLY FACTOR
OF WILSON RULE

Secretary Garrison in December
1914, sent to Congress his recommen-
dations for army legislation, laying
stress on the need of bringing IN the
army strength. Representative Hay
chairman Of the house military affairs
committee, scofled at the recommends
tion and announced clearly his opposi-
| ton to raising the strength OF the
regular army. His confession was a
promise to the national guard Of q
militia pay hill. Mr., Wilson paid NO
attention. Senator Chamberlain, liz.
noring the White House, called his
committee together in January. 1915
and urged prompt action. Then he
called to his Office several of the gen.
efal stan and the war college. Because
OF the Administrations attitude, how
ever, nothing was done at that session
of Congress.
Chamberlain's Protest.
In March, 1915, Senator Chamber
lain protested sharply against piece
meal legislation" such as Mr.. Garri-
son, discouraged by the adminIstra-
tons attitude, had confined his report
to suggesting. The senator asked for
comprehensive plan for developing
the entire army, and specified a bill
based on the INJURY conducted during
the Taft administration and General
Leonard Woods tenure OF Office as
chief of staff.
II do not think Congress should be
asked for what the war department
thinks 1t can get. but what the country
actually needs" said Mr. Chamberlain
This done, the department Will have
placed the responsibility on Congress
and that body must be prepared tc
assume it."
The surprised Mr.. Garrison prompt.
ly issued direction to the general stat
TO have the bill drafted, and so mott
fed Senator Chamberlain. The wal

Has Pursued VaciIIating Course
with important Problems,
Including Preparedness.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 2i.-
President Wilson has pursued a wab-
bling course in dealing with almost
every problem OF government in the
last three and half years.
The question OF national defense has
furnished the most striking illustration
OF bis characteristic faltering in the
face Of national crisis and Of the
cost TO the republic of his dilatoriness
and half-heartedness in carrying out
the Will of the people.
Between December. 1914, and July,
1916, the president wabbled from a
position opposed to Strengthening the
army and navy to a position repre-
senting compromise with the de-
mands OF the people. He was respon-
sible for a delay Of rwo years in pro-
Vlding the larger army and navy final
~ authorized. The cost OF this delay
already is represented by millions OF
dollars in the increased price OF war
ships, and it will be assessed in terms
OF American blood and treasure il the
United States should direly need its
army and navy within two years OF
the completion Of the national defense
program.
Evidence in Utterances.
One need go no farther than the ut
terances of Mr.. Wilson TO demonstrate
his wabbling on national defense. AZ
ter the European war broke out he
steadfastly minimized the danger to
the United States, refused to listen
TO the appeals of the advocates of ade-
quate national defense, and on De-
cember s, 1914, said 70 Congress:
But will turn away from the
subject national defense). 1t is not
new. There is no new need to discuss
It, We shall not alter our attitude to-
ward it because some amongst US are
nervous and excited"
At Kansas City, on February 2, 1916,
the president said:
Speaking with all solemnity, / as
sure there is not day to be lost, not,
understand me, because Of any new or
specially critical matter, but because
! cannot tell twenty-four hours at a
time whether there is going to be
trouble or not"
A Change In Views.
On December 8, 1914, the president
said the nation must depend mot upon
standing army, nor yet upon re-
serve army, but upon a citizenry
trained and accustomed to arms"
AS late as January 20, 1916, he was
compelled to admit in speech at
Cleveland:
Where we are chiefly lacking in
preparation is on land and in the num-
Der OF men who are ready to fight"
