What Mr.. Hughes Will Do.

Mr.. Hughes present tour is marked by one
significant feature, the plain statement of
definite policy to be pursued when he becomes
president He has left no doubt as to his views
on pertinent points of government especially
plain being his pledges as to protection to be
given Americans wherever they may be- His
views on citizenship are frankly set FORTH and
are such as distinguish him as a patriotic citizen,
with an intense devotion to the principles and
ideals of our government He has not at any time
proposed to tear down, but to build UP and de-
velop. The policy of protection for American
industries is republican fundamental, and to it
he stands committed But he has made definite
pledges on other points One Of them is that he
will end pork barrel" legislation He will not
tolerate such abuses Of the civil service law as
have been practiced under the present regime.
1t is OF far more importance to know what he
proposes to do than to discuss what he might
have done. His record as governor of New York
is guaranty that he is not lacking in executive
hrmness or initiative That he has carried out his
promises iii the past is warrant for thinking he
will redeem the pledges he is now making Roose-
welt and Wilson have provided ample precedent
for the president to proceed in putting definite
program through congress, and each pledge that
Mr.. Hughes makes will be redeemed

Good Of the Tractor Show.

The tractor show, just over at Fremont, has
been most successful. viewed from any angle A
week OF splendid exhibitions by the makers of
their big farm engines is reported to have at
tracted 10000 visitors. all sincerely interested in
farm machinery. Practical men inspected all the
machines, shown i'll competition under working
conditions, and on the judgment thus made up
rests the prosperity OF the makers 1t is good
thing for the builders. whose confidence in their
own product is strengthened by the experience
thus obtained. Comparison gives them better
understanding of what is required of the tractor
in farm service, we'll as the individual ideas and
notions OF the men they must please in order to
sell. Prospective purchasers learn which machine
is better adapted to their individual needs. and
buy with first-hand knowledge OF what to ex-
pect. The whole affair is an excellent example
OF the modern way of bringing buyer and seller
together under advantageous conditions The
prestige of the Fremont tractor show is firmly
established now, and its continuance assured

Dairy Products and the War.

One of the minor factors in the foreign trade
OF the last year was that OF dairy products. While
the total doesn't loom large in comparison with
the aggregate, only $24,0OOO0O as alongside of
some six and a half billions, it is significant as
showing the possibilities Of the United States as
producer of milk and the foods that are made
from milk In 1918 our exports of dairy products
were valued at 100000, while our imports
amounted to almost $lo7sO,OOO. The last year saw
but slight decrease in the value OF the imports,
but an enormous increase in the exports. Much
of the total increase is accounted for by the sale
of condensed milk and cream abroad this having
risen from $l900000 in 1918 to $l2,500OOO in
1916 That the war is directly accountable for
this is admitted, but it is that much OF an addition
to the share of the American farmer in the bust
ness created by the war

Duty as Well as Privilege.

The experience of the army in its present ef-
forts at recruiting is not such as to convince the
observer that the American people fully under
stand what is really involved. The volunteer sys-
tenn is again on trial. and again is being proved
failure. Men who are available for the service in
differently decline to take part in the process
whereby they might acquire working knowledge
OF the soldiers trade. Training is mperatively
necessary for soldiers; we must have soldiers if
we to have efficient national defense, and
we must be able to defend ourselves if we are
to maintain respectable place in the world
The soldiers must come from the sturdy men of
the nation, but efforts to interest them under the
present system has not brought satisfactory re-
suits. The many content to allow the few to
assume a responsibility that rests on all. 1t is
duty as we'll as a privilege to serve ones coun-
try in any capacity Free institutions will not en-
dure il the citizens avoid their duty Just now
the strongest argument for universal military SER
vice in the United States comes from the unan-
swered appeals for volunteers.

Purchase of the Danish West Indies

Ratification OF the treaty ceding
the Danish West Indies to the United
States is not to be accomplished with
out some debate, both In Washington
and Copenhagen, In Denmark opposi-
ton has already developed and the
consent Of the Rigsdag to the treaty
is by no means assured. The economic
condition of the kingdom is by no
means so critical as at the outset Of
the war; in fact, some Danish econo-
mists assert that Denmark will soon
be loaning instead of borrowing
nation. Under such conditions, the dis
posal of its holdings in American
waters is not Immediately urgent.
The suggestion that the sale is
brought about under pressure has
been Indignantly resented by all par
ties. In the lower house of the Rigs
dag, where the liberals and socialists
predominant, the bill to ratify the
treaty bids fair to pass, although the
socialists propose sending it to the
country for a referendum vote. In the
upper house the opposition is more
formidable, and may develop suf-
dcient influence to defeat the proposal.
What is back OF the movement to
thwart the sale can only be conjec-
tured, although it may easily be as
cribed to the intense national feeling
that has revived not alone in Den
q mark, but in all the Scandinavian
countries since the beginning of the
war.
In the United States, the general
feeling is, as it has always been, in
favor of the purchase of the islands
Every reason. from the perpetuation
Of the Monroe doctrine through all
the range of political and economic
expediency supports the move, but its
consummation depends on the Danes.

similar questions might be asked Who ever
