What a Vote for Huahes Means.

A vote for Charles Evans Hughes is q vote for sincerity in Government. If Mir. Hughes has demonstrated anything in his public career, it is that he says what he means and means what he says.
 A vote for Mir. Hughes is a vote for honorable peace. He has no desire to go to war. There is no patriotic Amer jean citizen who wishes the country to be involved in the present worldwide turmoil. But honorable peace is one thing and disnonorab1e peace is quite another.
 A vote for MT. Hughes is a vote for the protection of American lives and property in Mexico. The number of Americans killed in the southern re- years of peace" is greater than the number of Americans killed during the Spanish war of 1898.
 A vote for MT Hughes is a vote for high-grade official appointments. He says he will start right by selecting friends will not argue that the Presi- dent has been fortunate in the choice of his department heads. One reason for his administrative failures is the low grade of his Cabinet timber
 To pay a political debt and meet a legislative emergency he put William 'Jennings Bryan in the office of Secre- tary of State. There is only one re- deeming feature in this appointment once and for all it proved to the voters of the United States the Peerless Ora tors temperamentaI unfitness for high public station.
 As a sop to the South Mr. Wilson invited Josephus Daniels, a local poli- tician of North Carolina to become Secretary of the Navy. The result is deteriorated fleet and maladministra- tion so marked that it has shocked the whole country.
 really strCng man, I4indley M. Gar rison, was placed at the head of the War Department, but MT. Wilson's lukewarmness toward the vital ques- tion of national defence drove him out.
 A vote for MT. Hughes is a vote for straight thinking. There is no hint of crookedness in his intellectual pro- cesses. He does not argue one thing today and the opposite ton1rrow. He does not wax rhetorical in behalf of a cause or a policy in one speech and abandon it in another.
 A vote for MT. Hughes is a vote for | chara acter-characte in the best and | broadest sense of the word. The diff | ference between the rock-bottom | honesty of Charles E. Hughes and the characteristic uncertainty of Wood | row Wilson becomes daily more ap- 1 parent as the campaign near its 1 close.-Providence Journal Wilson's Foreign Policy 'calIous." "In this hour of the worlds emerg ency we have. perhaps, been neutral;
 we have not been great" declared the | Rev. William T. Manning, in his ad- dress in St. PauIs Chapel, Trinity par 1 ish, New York, commemorating the l 150th anniversary of the opening of l the church where George Washington worshipped. If President Wilson had
 sat in Washington's ancient seat there could have been no more direct ser- mon from pulpit to pew.
 In the presence of assembled bish- ops, nearly 200 clergy, an array o1 civil dignitaries and congregation
 composed largely of patriotic socie. ties dedicated to the Spirit of 'T6" the l rector of Trinity assailed the record of this country in the present world crisis. His text was, What shall il profit a nation if it gain the whole world and lose its own soul" a s1igh1
 adaptation of the text of St. Mark, vii. 26.
 He attacked peace at any price pacifsm as symptom of national de. cay and expressed the fear that Amer
 ica had already diminished in mora power.
 'War may hurt and kill the soul" he
 said. but there are other things that
 hurt and kill the soul. Every true American would rather see this lanl
 face war than see her flag lowered ir
 dishonor. Every true American wouli
 rather see this lard involved in wal
 than false to those principles of right freedom and humanity upon which the I hope of the world depends
 No one in this country wants war As never before we see it's cruelty ana
 it's horror. By every means that ma,
 be we want to see it's likelihood less. ened and it's causes removed. But evi as war is, there are still deeper evils
 Bodily comfort, physical safety, mate. = rtal-pyoSnerity- are not the greates
