write. In fact, the nation never had
three men who could say what they
wanted to in better form than the
three who were recently nominated
for the presidency-Hughes, Roose-
Welt and Wilson.
ROOSEVELT AND THE HYPHEN.
Mr. Roosevelt has had great deal
to say about hyphenated Americans.
He has waved the hyphen in the
faces of thousands of loyal, foreign
born Americans, as he proclaimed
himself more truly American than
they. Where is he, however, in the
present crisis in national affairs
and where are they?-Davenpor
Democrat.
The Davenport paper. which is a
supporter of President Wilson, seems
displeased that anybody should cope
with the president in denunciation
of the hyphen. Both Wilson and
Roosevelt, and Hughes, too, have de-
nounced in unmeasured terms citi-
zens of the United States who have
sought to embarrass this govern
ment by giving aid and encourage
ment to a foreign nation while in
war at the expense of the United
States. None of these men have
questioned the loyalty of the
great body of foreign citizens, their
criticisms being directed against or
CARNATIONS and conspiracies. That
there has been just reason for such
criticisms cannot be questioned. The
propaganda has been carried so far
that even the German government
took notice of it and through AM
bassador Bernstorff issued state
ment denying any connection with
1such organizations in the United
States and pleading with citizens of
this country not to take any illegal
action or perform any overt acts in
the interest of the fatherland. The
German government declared the
course of some of its sympathizers in
this country was doing the cause Of
Germany great harm. Roosevelt,
Wilson and Hughes have reference
to the men whom Germany itself
called down when they attack the
hyphenated American.
Roosevelt never proclaimed him
self more patriotic than the thous-
ands of foreign born Americans who
are loyal to this country. 1t is the
ones who are disloyal, the ones who
have done many overt acts in the
interest Of one of the European bel
Iligerents to the prejudice of the
United States. Such citizens of this
country deserve denunciation and it
is well that man of the standing
of Theodore Roosevelt has the cour-
age to give them what is their due.
The sneering allusion of the Dem
ocrat to Roosevelt for not having al
ready enlisted in the Mexican war
but reveals the animus of that pa
per. Roosevelt volunteered for SER
vice in the Spanish-American war
and took conspicuous and creditable
part in that conflict. He demonstrat-
ed his courage as a soldier. He is
now fifty-seven years of age and none
but carping critic would condemn
him for not enlisting thus early in a.
war" that does not yet exist and
la war that has been brought about,
as many believe, by the unwise and
wabbling course Of the national ad-
|ministra&ion.
SENATE AND SOLDIERS.
The soldiers who have responded
to the call Of their country have had

what they are and they have no
right to the protection of the flag
nor to the respect of loyal American
citizens.
| Let there be no mistake about one
thing. If elected, Hughes will be
Hughes man. Everybody, including
the colonel, learned that while
Hughes was governor of New York.
Sioux City Journal.
The Journal is right about it. The
colonel is that kind Of a man him
self and that's the reason he likes
Hughes and will support him. Strong,
self-reliant, courageous souls recog-
nize like qualities in other men and
admire them. The colonel, no doubt,
remembers when not long ago he got
fooled in his man. When he urged
the election Of candidate who
proved not to be his own boss and
who surrendered to the influences OF
such leaders as Senator Aldrich,
Boies Penrose, Murray Crane and
the rest of the reactionaries.
Reports have been sent out from
Detroit to the effect that the
(charges against Henry Ford in re-
gard to his refusal to permit any OF
the men in his employ to volunteer
in the army under penalty of per-
manently losing their jobs is not
true. On the contrary it is claimed
that Mr.. Ford will let the men go to
the front If they want to and take
them back into his employ upon their
return. If this is the true status OF
the case the Freeman-Tribune wants
to apologize for the criticisms il
made of Mr.. Ford's reported actions
The only excuse we can offer is that
1.-THE reports of his unusual and I'm.
patriotic course were circulated fol
weeks without a disclaimer and the
country generally believed them.
The railroads, it seems to the
Freeman Tribune, are Offering a fai,
method of settling the controversy
between the companies and their EN-
|ployees over the question of a wag'
increase. Railroad employees ar
among the best paid workers in thu
country. Nobody is complaining al
that, but there should be limi
somewhere. The public, in the end
pays the bill and the public has 6
fright to consideration in adjust
ments of the kind under contempla
ton. The companies want to put II
up to- the interstate commerce com
mission-want to arbitrate the prob.
lem. That seems fair and If the EN-.
|ployees have good case they should
accept the challenge of the roads and
let disinterested tribunal settle the
dispute.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1916-07-04

Events of the past few days will
have credited Roosevelt with having
made the election of Hughes posi-
BILE. Let's hope that Hughes does
not forget his obligation when he
lands in the White House-Times-
Republican.
What does the Times-Republican
mean by "obligations?" Does it
mean that Hughes will owe Roose-
welt something personally and that
he will be expected to square the ac-
count? All that Hughes will owe
Roosevelt, or any other supporter,
will be fully paid ia his administra-
|tion is all that it should be. Presi-
dent Hughes will have no obliga-
lions that will not be fully liquidat-
ed by high minded, clean and able,
patriotic and vigorously American
with no entangling
alliances with special privilege. That
is all Roosevelt will ask and all that
he or any other man can expect.

CREWE, VA, June Due 10 the
untiring efforts of the members OF the
Crewe Baptist Church. and particularly
to the strenuous work Of the building

the new house of worship. while the

or knowledge OF the opposing forces.
although IT is possible the British ad-
miralty did not choose to give out its
statement with all available detail iE
that respect.
Applying the first lessons of the en-
gaSement to American naval prepared
ness, some officers insisted that details
OF tho fight would demonstrate tho
necessity of adding at least two Dread
thoughts to the naval bill. which passed
the House by overwhelming vote. while
news Of the fight was coming over the
wires. 1t carries five battle cruisers
and no battleships, but officers hope the
heavier craft will be added by the
Senate.
Another fact which full reports of
the battle were expected to bring out
was the value OF big dirigibles for
naval use as scouts. The American
navy has only one dirigible, and officers
hoped detailed reports of the Horn reef
fight would come In time for the effect
on changing the preparedness bill.

the interest is intense in the con-

4 light vote is predicted under the
most favorable circumstances. All the
State officers standing for renomina-

most in doubt being that Of Secretary

admit that he has a good fighting
chance in the first primary, and pos
sibly a still better chance In the second
primary J. A. Hardness and Haywood

A lead for J. s. Manning In the race
for Attorney-General seems to be the
prevailing expectation here, but no
nomination is expected in the first
primary. with four candidates for the
office.
