Some Handy Issues.

In the Republican platform and l.,
the keynote speeches made in the Re-
publican convention are to be found
eulogy of the ship subsidy, opposition
to the income tax. demands for LiGh
tariffs, opposition to the shipping bill,
opposition to government armor and
nitrate factories. and pledge to take
away from the states the right to
regulate railroads within their own
borders.
1t has been a custom of long years
standing for the nominee of party
to deliver himself thoroughly of his
views on the various issues declared
in the platform on which he has been
placed by his party. In the above
and in the Democratic record are
enough issues to furnish topics for

Great Inventor Says President Has Given Us
Peace With Honor and Has Earned Trust
of People
ACTIONS Of WILSON SHOW AN OPEN MIND
Campaign Speeches of Hughes Proves His Ca.
paCity for tlindSioht Is Highly Developed,
Declares Inventor

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Thomas A..
Edison, although lifelong Republic
can and supporter of Col. Roose-
welt for the Republican presidential
nomination, announced yesterday
through the Democratic national
committee that he intends to vote and
work for the reelection of President
Wilson. Mr.. Edison said:
Not since 1860 has any campaign
made such direct call on simon-pu
Americanism. The times are too seri-
GUS to talk or think in terms of Re-
publicanism or Democracy. Real
Americans must drop parties and get
down to big fundamental principles.
More than any other President in
my memory Wilson has been faced
by a succession of tremendous prob
lens, any one of which, decided the
wrong way, would have had disas-
trous consequences. Wilson's deci-
sions so far have not got us into any
serious trouble. nor are they Ii
to.
He has given us peace with honor.
The talk about the United States be-
ing despised is nonsense. Neutrality
is mighty trying policy, but back
of it are international law. the rights
of humanity, and the future OF civiliza-
ton.
With reference to Mexico. | think
the President has acted wisely, just
ly. and courageously. 1t was right
that the United States should not
have recognized such murderous
personality as Huerta. l do not be-
lieve that we should have interviewed
nor do believe that we should inter-
vene now. Mexico is troublesome
neighbor just now, but war and con-
quest are not going to make her a
better one. Both against England and
against human slavery the United
States worked out its salvation through
revolution. and 1t was a pretty slow,
trying process.
at has been said that Wilson at
first was against preparedness. Per-
haps he was, but when convinced that
intelligent public opinion was over
whelmingly in favor of it, he changed.
That is the proper thing for our Pres
ident to do. A President defiant of
public opinion would be a dangerous

man in our system of government.
His attitude on the tariff shows an
equal openness of mind. A tariff COM
mission will take the whole problem
out of politics. 1t is my hope that
experts will be named, and that the
body will be continuing and vested al
most with the dignity of the supreme
court.
They say he has blundered. Per-
haps he has. But l notice that he
usually blunders forward. You can't
get 100 per cent efficiency in a
democracy. don't know that we ought
to want it. We would be machines
and we would have to sacrifice too
much of freedom.
"As | said at the start. it has been
just one big thing after another with
Wilson. l have never known so many
dangerous questions brought up for
decision to any one President. Now
he has the general strike of the skill
ed railway men, which, if carried out
will throw the whole country into con-
fusion. and prove a calamity that. in
certain eventualities, will have re-
suits bound to extend over a long peri
cd of time. He is acting with the
usual courage and sanity.
'In my opinion. Mr.. Hughes. if Pres
ident. would find it difficult to decide
on the best course for the govern
ment to take in this strike. His ca.
pacity for hindsight. as we learn from
his speeches. is highly developed, but
as to his foresight, We are are not
equally we'll informed.
"Mr. Wilson has now had about four
years of experience, and he has earn
ed faith and trust. I do not think ii
logical or sensible thing to change
to an inexperienced and untried man
just for the sake Of change, or with
out much better reasons being given
for the change than I have noticed.
Roosevelt was my choice. He has
had experience, and is one of the best
of Americans, but the machine-con-
trolled Republican party would not
have him. Therefore I am for Wood
row Wilson,"
Mr.. Edison is on camping trip with
Henry Ford and John Burroughs. the
naturalist. and he sent his statement
from Saratoga.

of vessels entering the port of New
York has increased by nationalities as
follows: American ships, $50; Scan

immense growth of American ship

Our Primary Law And Referendum
Measure No. S.

The Aberdeen World became quite
worked up over the nomination OF
Senator Poindexter to succeed him
sedf, and in its excitement bewails
the fact that some democrats parti-
cipated in the Republican primaries
The evening paper seems to consider
that United States senator was the
only official to be nominated at the
primary. and that the nominees. ii
elected. was to represent at Wash.
ington the Republican party OF this
state, instead of the state as a whole.
This Is the trouble with the World
and almost all members of the re-
actionady wing Of the Republican
party. they mistake their party for
the nation, .e'--

primary there was nominated can

every voter. and particularly every
taxpayer. had a deep interest, and
they had perfect moral right to vote
whatever ticket they believed would
count most for efficient government,
1t is not the fault OF democrats
that Republican nominating conven-
tons became so corrupt as to cause
a demand for their abolition so strong
that 1t counld not be denied. and the
present primary law is the result.
Enacted by reluctant legislature.
It is but primary law in name. A
better title would be: IAN act to
continue the Republican party in
power indefinitely in the State of
Washington" for that was its real
intention The reason given for this
Illusion termed primary law was
that party responsibility would pro-
tect the public from undesirable Of.
ficials. so partyism must prevail in
all state and county management,
when in reality the political beliefs
OF the official. from governor TO
wreckmaster. has no more to do with
his fitness than has the color Of his
hair. Nor does any party assume
responsibility for misdoing. If il were
otherwise the republican party would
be claiming the blame for the reck-
less mismanagement Of this state
that has characterized il almost since
statehood.
Why cannot our esteemed contem-
porary be honest about this matter,
and admit that the emolumeuts and
patronage Of the offices are needed
TO maintain the party in supremacy"
That is the only basic reason why
partyism is maintained in state and
county affairs. whether II be in Re-
publican Vermont or Democratic
Georgia. and the public is rapidly
finding il out.
