When Mr.. Hughes criticises the rec
ord of the Administration the spokes-
men of Mr.. Wilson cry: what would
you have done" They forget that it
is Mr.. Wilson and not Mr.. Hughes
who is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt through
out the campaign and that Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
Spective records, instead of crying
"What would you have done? They
forget these things or they refuse to
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record of the Admins
tration and induce the people to fol-
low them down some by-path of rhe-
torical hypothesis, all in the effort to
change the subject.
"By their fruits We shall know
them" When Mr.. Hughes was Gov
ernor of New York he did not pay
political debts by filling the public
Offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudiate them after
he entered Office. AS Governor, he
did not resort to brave and beautiful
words as a substitute for firm and con-
sistent deeds. He was careful in his
use of words but he backed his words
with deeds. He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not a
rhetorician, he was not q fatterer, he
was not "tOo proud to fight" for labor
or for capital, for the strong or the
weak, when the right was on their
side.
Mr.. Wilson's spokesman seek to di-
vert attention from the attacks Mr..
Hughes is making upon the record OF
the Administration by asking him
:''What would you do?" they are I'M
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
are recalling to the memory Of the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms as Governor Of New
York. 1t was then that he first said
"public office shall not be private
snap under my administration" and
made performance square with prom
,ise There is this about Mr.. Hughes
that makes him SO different from Mr..
Wilson: Hughes means what he
says" SO it is that the campaign is
really a contest of character between
two men, with sincerity as the differ
entiating and deciding factor.

FIVE THOUSAND A DAY.
EnroIIments in the Hughes National
College League.

The Hughes National College
League, 511 Fifth avenue, New York,
is receiving enrollments at the rate
of five thousand a day. They ara
coming from all parts of the country,
and the work of organizing branches
in all states and most of the important
cities has been started. A large per-
centage of the enrollments are from
men who give their usual political
affiliations as Progressive, Democratic
or Independent.
The league has received the en-
dorsement of Governor Hughes, who
wired: IF there was ever time
when the educated men of the country
who have it's welfare at heart should
work for right principles and strong
government it is now" Chairman
Wilcox of the Republican National
Committee. ex-President Taft. and
John Hays Hammond have also praised
the work enthusiastically. as much on
the score of the benefit to the men
themselves as of fhe real work it will
do to help elect Governor Hughes.

From Woodrow Wilson's speech ac-

There still has been no accounting

The whole question of reparation for

"HE DIDN'T DO RIGHT"
Independent Voters Turning This Con-
viction Over and Over in Their
Minds and 1t Will Cost Mr..
{, Wilson Many Vote.

A Democrat who never voted for a
Republican candidate for President ex-
icept in 1872, when he was forced by
the lack of a Democratic nominee to
cast his ballot for Horace Greeley,
says: II expect to vote for Woodrow
Wilson, but l don't like his course in
the railroad dispute. He didn't do
right"
} The railroad controversy has intro
duced a moral issue into the campaign.
Mr.. Wilson sacrificed principle to ex-
lpediency, Or what he judged to be
expediency, when he tamely surren-
ldered to the demands of the train
service brOtherhOOds.
He put his own personal and party
need before the public good. He angled
for votes. He aimed body blow at
the tried and tested arbitration method
of settling differences.
GOD help you; cannot" he is said
to have exclaimed to the railroad man.
ayers, who do not poll as many votes
as their employees. But he could have
helped them if he had stood impartial
ily between them and the utterly reck-
less train-service representatives
who were bent on their rule-or-ruin
programme.
"He didn't do right" The consci-
BUSINESS of that fact is sinking deep
into the American mind.
''He didn't do right" That wide
spread conviction will cost him thou
sands of votes on election day.
"He didn't do right" He preferred
the weak, the timid, attitude of the
born COMPROMISED.
The American people like courage.
The like convictions. They like q
man who has the courage Of his con-
'victions. They like a man who is
willing to risk consequences for the
sake of just cause.
1t was an unjust cause in which
Woodrow Wilson enlisted when he ac-
.cepted the brotherhood view that the
chief item in their demands could not
be arbitrated.-PrOvidenc Journal.

IF ELECTION WERE OVER?
While Democrats Are Admittedly the
Champion Question Fiends, 1t Is
Believed This Quiz Is as I'm
ansWerable as Their Most
ChiIdIike Effort.

If election day were past would
President Wilson make so little of the.
principle of arbitration in Industrial
disputes? Would he be so sure that
it is more important to preserve peace,
when great strike Is threatened. than
1t is to make judicial methods rather
than force the means of settling diff
.ferences between capital and labor?
If election day had come and gone,
would Mr.. Wilson keep the national
guardsmen of the country in camp on
the ground that they may be needed
TO protect the United States against
Mexico? Would there be months OF
inaction and indecision in which no
use is made of a large body of citizen
soldiers? Would they not be allowed
to go home or else be set in motion to,
make Mexico as safe neighbOr as the
Administration seems to think that it
is already?
If election day were past would the
President drive through Congress al
bill like the shipping bill which is in
tended to embark the federal govern
,ment upon a new venture in a hazard,
IOus field and use $5OOO0,OO0 of the
peoples money to buy tonnage held
above it's normal value or else so
owned that it cannot be used without
peril of international complications?
Is sound public policy behind such
measure or only campaign pOliticS7
IF election day were not to be con-
sfdered would Woodrow Wilson use so
many high and mighty words in inter-
national notes and do so little to make
them mean anything practical? Would.
his deeds lag so far behind his
phrases ?-Cleveland Leader.

DECLINED TO PERMIT A
SQUADRON TO DEFEND
AMERICANS.

At Tampico there was a gen.
erai movement of attack by the
Mexicans on Americans and
other foreigners. We had a
squadron of American warships
in the neiehborhood. The Will
son Administration declined to
permit this squadron to be used
to defend the lives of American
men and the honor of American
women, and the commanders OF
the German and English ships
at Tampico had to step in and
perform the task our represen-
tative had so baseIy abandoned.
At the very time that the Mexi-
can mob had surrounded the
building in which the Americans
had taken refuge, and was howl
ing for their blood, the Ameri-
can fleet, in spite of the pro-
tests of the American naval
commander, and in accordance
with wireless orders from Wash
ington, was forced to steam out
of the harbor and leave the Am
orleans to be massacred by the
Mexicans, or rescued by the
Germans and Enqlish.-From
the speech of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, delivered at Lewis
ton, Maine, in behalf of Charles
E. Hughes.

WILSON CONSISTENT ONLY
IN HIS VACILLATION.

AS it is with war" so it is
with intervention" President
Wilson has again and again said
he would not intervene" in
Mexico. AS a matter of fact
he has interviewed continuously
but as he never fol-
lowed any policy of either inter
vention or nOninterventiOn with
any observation-disclosures yielding
at the critical moment to some
bandit chief of whom he became
fearful-both his spasms of in
tervention and his spasms of
noninterventiOn have alike been
entirely futile.-FrOm the speech
of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, de-
livered at lewiston, Maine, in
behalf of Charles E. Hughes.

WOMEN POLICE MAKE
GOOD IN LONDON

London. July 12.-women police
are making good according to the
chief officer of the Women's Police
Force. They are employed in NUM-
ton factories very largely to search
the ingoing and outgoing women
workers for contraband, keep order
in trains, to inspect passports and to
patrol the lanes and yards. They
get $40 weekly with railway fares,
sergeants receive eleven dollars and
inspectors twelve dollars. The chief
officer says school teachers are par
ticularly wanted for the force as
their training fits them admirably for
police duties which require good
temper, patience and tact with firm-
ness.
The girls in the factories appear to
be very fond Of the women police
and the government Is asking for
more to be appointed at various
munitions works throughout the
country.
