FROM lne COIlHlOHcI. y
The republican newspapers sneeringly
insist that because all the democratic ma
tional convention did was to nominate
Wilson and Marshall it was nothing but
a ratification meeting. Wrong it was
merely a meeting to arrange for ratl-
fication meeting in November
The critics who object%o the withdraw
al of the troops from Mexico on the
ground hat it would look like a compli-
ance with Carranza's wishes, are like the
man who when asked how he received his
bruises, replied, Il was coming down the
stairs and my wife said be careful and /
won't be dictated to by any woman.
The preparedness parades came at an
inOpportune time. The marchefS exhaust
ed their patriotism in one day-they nave
not been conspicuous at the recruiting
stations.
The New Workers complain that they
are paying too large a portion of the IN
come tax Not at all, The figures simply
shows what the men with pig incomes es-
capped before they were called upon TO 40
their share. The income taxes are an ap-
proach to justice
Harmony and Hughes is a slogan the
republicans are thinking of adopting
The harmony part Of it is supposed TO pc
furnished by the four mlllOIS VINO WI,

whose return is now anXiously desired,
The buffer is always called if he bluffs
long enough The case of Col. Roosevelt
is an illustration. He tried to mold up
the republican convention with paint
ed pistol and came up against real
bandit.
So far as we have observed, George w.
Perkins has not given out am statement

Hughes Points the Way

The speech Of the Republican can
didate for President was a keynote
speech, indeed. Not one person In
the great audience at the Carnegie
Hall meeting was In doubt for one
moment as to Just what he meant by
everything he said.
His address was comprehensive. log
zeal. clear and all sufficient for the
occasion. There can be no dispute
as to this. Plainly Mr.. Hughes Is a
man who knows what he wants when
he wants It," and 1t is the opinion
Of political authorities who heard him
and who have since read his remarks
that he knows. also. how to get 1t.
1t was incumbent upon the Repub-
lican candidate to conflne the scope
Of his remarks to the limitations Of
the occasion, but his crushing analy-
sis Of the shortcomings of the pres
ent administration Of the government
is merely an earnest of what the tone
and the contents of his speeches will
be when he gets on the stump.
At Carnegie Hall Mr.. Hughes ad-
verified to every general question that
Is apt to be q serious issue In the
campaign and In language that will
be absolutely clear to every man or
woman able to read he stated his
opinions, his convictions and his pur-
poses. On the stump he will argue
those points In detail. AS an orator
he is eloquent his personality attrac-
tive and his marshalling Of facts so
cohesive that he holds his audience
to the end He makes Il easy for
them to follow him and his points
are not lost.
There was nothing equivocal, moth
Ing apologize In the Republican can
didate's speech of acceptance. He
called spade spade, and the unani-
nous opinion Of those who heard him
was that he shot to the center and
rang the bell. The Republican cam
paign Is now open, and those who
will speak and write and work for
the success of the Republican ticket
can wish for no more adequate cam
paign document, no more satisfactory
statement of issues than are found In
the candidates salutatory.

TRUE lNWARDNESS OF THE
VERA CRUZ INCIDENT.

In the Spring Of 1914, occur
red the capture of Vera Cruz.
Men from one Of our ships had
been arrested at Tampico and
had been discharged with an
apology. But our Admiral de-
manded salute, which was re-
fused. Thereupon the President
went to Congress, asking au-
thority to use the armed forces
of the United States. Without
waiting for the passage of the
resolution, Vera Cruz was seiz-
ed. 1t appeared that shipload
of ammunition for Huerta was
about to enter that port. There
was natural opposition to this
invasion and a battle occurred
In which nineteen Americans
and over a hundred Mexicans
were killed. This, of course,
was war. Our dead soldiers
were praised for dying like
heroes In a war Of service.
Later, we retired from Vera
Cruz, giving up this noble war
fare. We had not obtained the
salute which was demanded.
We had not obtained repara-
ton for affronts. The ship with
ammunition which could not
land at Vera Cruz had soon
landed at another port, and its
cargo was delivered to Huerta
without interference. Recently
the naked truth was admitted
by q Cabinet officer. We are
now Informed that 1--WE did not
go to Vera Cruz to force Huerta
to salute the flag" We are
told that we went there ito
show Mexico that we were In
earnest In our demand that
Huera must co. That is, we
seized Vera Cruz to depose
Huerta. The question of the
salute was a mere pretext.-

ceptance.

Congress Directs Interstate Commerce

Washington.-The annual Post Of
fee appropriation bill recently passed
by Congress contains clause directing
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to take up for investigation, report and
the fixing Of rates the system of pay
ment TO the railroads for carrying mail.
The Commission is authorized to test
the relative merits OF payment by
weight and by space
The railroads have long contended
that they were underpaid for this serv.
Ice and that they were losing millions
of dollars year under the system of
payment now in effect. 1t was felt
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, on account Of the information
at its command regarding all phases
Of railroad operation, is i'm the best POI
Sition to determine the merits OF the
case.

IN PREPAREDNESS THE Ap.
MiNlSTRATlON HAS FOL-
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the Administra-
ton has followed, not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were first described as
nervous and excited" Only
about a year and half ago we
were told that the question of
preparedness was not a press
Ing one; that the country had
been misinformed. Later, under
the pressure of other leader
ship, this attitude was changed.
The Administration, 1t was
said, had Learned something"
and II made q belated demand
for an increased army. Even
then, the demand was not prose-
cuted consistently and the pres
sure exerted on Congress with
respect to other Administrative
measures was notably absent.
We are told that the defects
revealed by the present mobili-
cation are due to the System"
But 1t was precisely such plain
defects that under the constant
warnings Of recent years, with
the whole world intent on mill
tary concerns, should have been
studied and rectified. The Ad-
ministration has failed to dis
charge Its responsibilities. APP
parently, 1t is now seeking to
meet political exigencies by its
naval program. But 1T has i'm
posed upon the country an In
competent naval administration.

acceptance.

LONG HOURS A RARITY.
Only Once In Five Years Does Average
Trainman Exceed Legal Limit.

Only Once In Five Years Does Average
Trainnnan Exceed Legal Limit.
That long hours I'm train service have
been reduced to a minimum is shown
by a report issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commissions Only one EN-.
ploye In five on the average last year
was compelled to remain on duty more
than sixteen hours during any one day
I'm the whole year. Stated in another
way. the chance Of an engineman or
trainman remaining on duty beyond
this prescribed limit was reduced to
once In five years.
The total number OF cases of excess
service from all causes reported to the
commission was only g. PAT during the
year ending June 80. 1915. as COM
pared with 1871. 439 in 1914 and 27O,S27
I'm 1913, and with rare exceptions these
represented cases recognized as due to
unavoidable causes.
Statistics on this subject are collected
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion under the national hours-of-service
law. Every time train Is so de-
layed by a blizzard, washout or 9TH
er cause that any part of the train
crew is on duty longer than sixteen
hours the railroad company must re.
port the occurrence TO the commission,
giving the names Of the Individual en-
ployes concerned and a full statement
Of the cause for the excess service.
For several years the railroads and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
have been cooperating I'm efforts to
prevent the keeping of employees on
duty for long periods. The reduction
Of nearly 50 per cent. I'm such cases
which has been brought about in three
years shows that the working of men
for long stretches of continuous service
has practically disappeared except In
rare cases Of unavoidable delay.
