credits law, of the measures adopted
for the improvement of the highways
of the countries and the efforts of the
administration to secure child labor
legislation. These things all appeal
to the progressives because they were
a part of their demands. 1t was to
be expected, therefore, that things
would be as they are; that progress
sives would flock to the standard of
the democratic party, as they are;
and that President Wilson would be
elected, as he will be.

The danger that thousands of print
ers may be thrown out of work because
of the high cost of white paper is a
question that is seriously concerning
the Typographical Union. John w.
Hays, secretary and treasurer of the
union, said the alarming shortage of
print paper is making it difficult for many
newspaper corporations to continue
business. In some cities he said there
was talk of consolidating two 81 more
plants to reduce working fources and

IT'S A SHOWDOWN

Washington, D. c., Aug. 29.-It is
now apparent that a showdown in
the strike situation is near at hand.
The deadlock which has continued all

THE SECOND GUESS

Mr.. Hughes in his criticisms of the
president has joined the Second
guessers." This is the name given
by Umpire Billy Evans 10 those who
propose different policy after action
has been taken and the result is known
The second guessers in the stands
blame the manager after the game
has been lost, because he sent Swee-
ney up to hit for McGniness. Nc
Guinness might have "done some
thing, ",whereas Sweeney struck out.
When the manager sent Sweeney up
he had only ID gness, the second
guesser had two. Whether the sec
ond guess was better than the first
will never be known. The advantage
is with the second guesser.
Mr.. Wilson had to act in the Huarta
case. AT the time he did so Mr..
Hughes either thought he acted WISE
ly, said SO and applauded or he said
nothing and didn't applaud. 1t Is not
on record which he did. Now he has
a second guess. We don't know what
he would have done, but he says now
he would have done what Mr.. Wilson
did. How what he would have done
might have turned out will never be
known. The advantage is with the
second gnesser.
Mr.. Wilson had to act in matters
with the belligerent powers. With
Germany he felt constrained to take
such a firm position that Mr.. Bryan,
believing the eource pursued would
lead to war, resigned from the cabi-
net. Mr.. Hughes said nothing, SO far
as | know, but his criticism now i'm
plies he would have done something
else. He doesn't say what he would
have done. but he has the advantage
of a second guess. And when he ex.
presses it no Il cal successfully
dispute its wisdom. 1t Will never be
acted upon.
The out standing fact is that Presi-
dent Wilson has conducted the most
difficult negotiations with other gov
ernments that have fallen to the lot
OF any president in the nations his
tory, and, Notwithstanding the most
vicious and vituperative criticisms of
his work, he has maintained our pres
tige before the nations of the earth
and he has kept the nation out of war.
The second guessers will have to ''go
some" to overcome that.

Culberson LAG. 5O7, as against former
Governor Colquitt. with s3,457, Less
than $1,000 votes remain to be accounted

A notable fact from the returns re-
ceived is that Senator Culberson, known
as the Wilson candidate. carried prac-
ticalIy every German country in the
state. 1t was in those sections he re-
ceiyed such a heavy vote as to enable
him to catch up on the apparent over

That breach in the republican
