But the appeal was not made.

But the appeal was not made.
On the contrary, Mr.. Wilson invoked
the spirit Of timidity and selfshness. He
made no effort to invoke the sense of duty.
He put safety first, the immediate
safety of the moment, to be obtained by
shrinking from duty.
He did not even put American rights
first, still less did he put American duty
first.
His task was not an especially difficult
or dangerous task; but it needed brave
heart and steady hand
Under this lead America could and
should have put itse4eat the head of all the
neutral nations by its example, if not by
direct diplomatic agreements, in demand
ing that the war should be conducted in
accordance with the usage of civilized ma
tons, that international law should be OBJ
served, that the rights of neutra1s and non
combatants should be respected.
If this spirit had animated our admins
tration there would probably have been no
invasion of Belgium, no fears of a like
fate to terrorize other smaller nations, no
torpedoing of merchant vessels, no bonn
harding Of churches and hospitals, no mas
sacring of women and children, no murder
of Miss Cavell, no attempted extermina-

tians

CINCE 1912 we have had four years Of
~ "a policy which has been an opiate to
the spirit of idealism
1t has meant the relaxation of our moral
fibre
A sordid appeal to se1f-interest and to
fear has paralyzed the national conscience.
We have been told that Americans, if
they do not wish to be killed, should keep
off the ocean; that to save few Ameri-
can lives it is not worth while to hazard
the lives of American soldiers; that Mex
leans should be allowed to spill blood to
their hearts content; that the European
War is no concern Of ours; that even as
between Belgium and Germany we should
be neutral not only in act but in sympa-

Not once has President Wilson squarely
placed before the American people the
question which Abraham Lincoln put be

our DUTY;
Not once has he appealed to moral

men for the right

Envoy Is Surprised.

Mr.. McMillin was therefore mildly
surprised when he was instructed by
President Wilson to call on the newly
established Benavides and graciously
confer the recognition of the United
States Government upon him.
In explaining this the President sim
ply said that 'eXpediency dictated the
recognition Of the revolutionary gov.
ernment of Peru" He told his advisers
that he had not liked the personality Of
Billinghurst, He was chagrined also
with the news that Billinghurst had in
tended to dissolve the Peruvian con
gress, which the President said would
have been an unconstitutional act.
Latin American diplomats at the time
were astounded to learn of the Presi.
dents action in Peru. They found tho
it was impossible to know where the
president stood on any matter of prin
ciple and informed their governments
that the Presidents personal whims
doubtless were to be his guidance in
conducting this governments Latin
American policy.

N7E cannot undo what has been done,
w But we can repudiate what has been
done. We can regain our own self-re-
spect and the respect Of other nations for
this country. We can put in power an ad-
ministration which will throughout its
term Of power protect our own citizens and
live up to our national Obligations
1t is just that this nation should con-
Germ itself with its rights; but it is even
more necessary that it should concern it
self with its duties.
AS between Mr.. Hughes and Mr. Will
son, who can doubt which is the man who
will, with austere courage, stand for the
national duty?
Mr. Wilson'S words have conradicted
one another; and all his words have been
contradicted by his acts.
Nh Wilson precise has not borne the
slightest reference to his performance.
We have against him in Mr.. Hughes a
man whose public life is a guarantee that
whatever he says he will make good and
that all his words will be borne out by his
deeds.
Against Mr.. Wilson'S combination of
grace in elocution, with futility in action;
against his record Of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we set Mr..
Hughes rugged and uncompromising
straightforwardness of character and ac-
ton in every office he has held.
We put the man who thinks and speaks
directly, and whose words have always
been made good against the man whose
adroit and facile elocution is used to con
ceal his plans or his want of plans.
The next four years may we'll be years
of tremendous national strain.
Which of the two men do you, the
American people, wish at the helm during
these four years; the man who has been
actually tried and found wanting or the
man whose whole career in public office is
a guarantee of his power and good faith?
But one answer is possible; and it must
be given by the American people through
the election of Charles Evans Hughes as
President of the United States.

little orphan girl who grows up to

people protection in case OF fire, but
it has already reduced their fire IN
