Editorial Opinion
THE FIRST STEP.

From the New York Tribune.
The Tribune believes that every
Republican who desires to see the
party victorious in the coming cam
paign recognizes the necessity for a
prompt, frank and specific statement
upon the Hyphon question by Mr.
Hughes
Whatever injury has been done by
silence hitherto, there can be no
question that continued silence will
be fatal. since it is increasingly in
terpreted as consent to all that Ger
man-American leaders and news
papers are now asserting.
sooner or later Mr.. Hughes will
have to speak. What consideration OF
personal or party interest can CON
tribute to persistence in his present
silence?
1t is Woodrow Wilson, and mol
Theodore Roosevelt, whom Mr.
Hughes must defeat, and Mr.. Wilson's
policies. not Mr.. Roosevelts, that he
must attack.
Much has been sacrificed by prev
ious silence, but there is still time e

they have returned disappointed, sore,
and some of them with blood in their
eve and a knife mp tAeir sleeve. But
Mr. William Allen White says in his
article in today's News
At the lodge of sorrow at the Uni
versity Club of Chicago conference
there was no word Of bitterness for
Roosevelt. The men about the table
felt that he had been placed in a
crucifying position. No lack of loyalty
and no feeling Of rancor seem to exist
on either side Every man i'm the

heavily in the council Of the National
Committee when il meets.
AS the defeat OF the Progressives at
Chicago was clearly foreseen by all
who looked over the situation un-
biased by the enthusiasm for a leader
that blinded the eyes Of that devoted
crowd. so one now can stand outside

that after events will confound the

WAR MUNITIONS.
From The washington Post.

FROM the Mdauiutluh b0t'
More than a year ago announce
ment was made that a new munitions
factory would be established at Eddy
stone. Pa. Sufficient orders had been
received from Europe to insure capa-
city operation for long time toI
come.
when the ground was broken a
year ago it was asserted that within
three months rifles would be on their
way TO Europe. This was character
istic American optimism. The same
feeling takes voice in the assertion
that 1000. 600 men would spring to
arms ovenight in case the United
States were attacked and gives voice
likewise TO the belief that this coun-
try could provision and equip an
army without preliminary prepara-
tion. Yet with the assurance of ample
orders the enormous factory at Eddy
stone has not turned out single
rifle II is considered a remarkable
achievement that those back OF the
enternrise have erected what rs de-
scrihed as the greatest factory under
a single roof i'm an the world and that
they have devised methods to conduct
This gigantic business. erecting thou
sands of machines many of which
are Of special design. and putting
thousands Of men to work. There are
already 10000 men on the pay roll
and it is expected when the detail:
the completed rifles will be turned
ont al the rate of 5000 a day.
But the experience Of the company
| AT Eddvstone shows the necessity
OF complete preparedness long in ad-
vance Of any danger The manufac-
ture of rifles. for instance, requires
5000 separate operations on eacf
weapon. In all. each rifle probably Is
handled 5000 times before it is finally
loaded into the freight car. More thar
700 tools. of which 80 per cent. arc
OF special designs, are required in the
various stages OF manufacture Aside
from obtaining experts to supervise
the manufacture. all the labor engaged
in manufacturing the rifles must o'
| trained.
The work that is being done by th'
munition factories will be an asse
to the nation in any of its own futur
emergencies. There should be M
self-delusion, however, about tn
time that is needed for adequate
preparations for war.
