JUDGE HUGHES A DiSAPPOlNT-
MENT

The country is now being TAX
en- into the confidence of Judge
Charles E. Hughes, republican
nominee for the presidency, who
is giving us his reasons why Mr..
Wilson should not again be
elected president.
Judge Hughes, in his speech
of acceptance, did not startle
the country, in fact his speech
was entirely too common place
to meet the dignity of its posi-
ton in the country's political
history. Already he has won
the sobriquet of the scold,"
and the caricaturists are unmer-
ciful in their delineation of him
for the amusement of magazine
readers.
The democrats were afraid of
Judge Hughes as the nominee of
his party, but already their fears
seem ungrounded and it is evil
dent that he is not the strong
candidate we feared he would be.
His chief hobby is his criticism
of President Wilson's Mexican
policy, which we al know has
been trimmed to meet the ext
geneies of each diplomatic trouble
and at all times with the ulti-
mate view of avoiding war with
those unfortunate, ignorant and
poverty stricken people. For
this Judge Hughes attempts to
hold the president to the ridicule
of the country, not realizing that
the country is satisfied with the
president because he has pursued
a policy that has kept us out of
war. His criticism of the presi-
dents handling of the European
trouble has also failed to meet
the popular ear and Mr.. Hughes
has lost prestige on this unpop-
ular stand.
His speeches are not meeting
with the enthusiastic reception
accorded Mr.. Roosevelt when he
goes before the people, and in
the case Of Judge Hughes we are
reminded of the unfortunate at
titude of the democracy twelve
years ago when the democrats
nominated Judge Parker. The
republicans will find that the
bench is a poor place to seek a
candidate. 1t has never furnished
a president, and Judge Hughes
case will not be an exception to
this rule.

their purpose not to use it any
longer for a Y. NJ. c.. A., but to
turn it into a building for a
school, to be used not later than

of those liable for the indebted,
ness of the Y. NJ. G. A. that

some of those opposed to the

Those liable for this indebted-

Statement From the Board Of
Aldermen

AS Cnero seems TO DE some un'
certainty on the part of the citi'
zens with reference to what the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen
contemplate doing about the Y.
M. G. A.. building, we make the
following statement for the in.
formation of all who are inter.
ested:
Briefly stated, there was a debt
against the property of about
$18. 600, on which the following
gentlemen were endorsers, viz.
j. M. Thomas, J. @. Robins. S.
P. Clayton, R. F. Goodlett, Clark
Troy, E C. Kinds. G. w. Long.
R. c. Clark, D. S. Ballard, r. B.
Clark, D. w. Robins, S. j. High,
C. w. Troy, F. G. McGaughy. J.
H. Ledyard, Geo. T. Mitchell,
DR.. 7. F. Elkin, Fletcher John
son and R.. A. Weaver. The ap-
proximate cost of the building
was s32, 900 and of the SD, 600
paid in cash, the above named
persons paid between So. 900 and
$4,000 and in addition endorsed
the $l8, 900 note.
Representatives of these par
ties proposed to the board to take
over the Y. M. C. A.. property
with the expectation of using
same in the near future for
school purposes. 1t was apparent
to the board that it would be
necessary to provide a new
school house in the near future
and as the proposition was that
the property could be bought for
the $l8, 900 due on it, it seemed
to the board that it would be the
part of good business Judgment
to accept this proposition. Be-
fore agreeing to do SO, however,
the board required the endorsers
of the note guarantee that the
city wodld not be out any ex-
peEse until the city actually took
over the property for a school.
This was agreed to by the en-
dorsers and thereupon IKE board
ordered an election which was
held on May 6, 1916, to deter
mine whetherthe property should
be purchased, and this election
resulted in favor of the purchase.
Since that time the board of
trustees of the city schools have
filed their annual report, at the
August meeting of the board,
the substance of which has been
published in the local papers.
This report shows that the pupils
in our white schools, not includ-
ing the school in South Tupelo,
have increased over 200 in the
last four years-the 1915-16 en-
rollment having been over $50
and that the 1867 enrolment
was expected to run between rs
and 100 in excess of that of last
year. It also shows that both of
the school houses are crowded to
such an extent that it will be
necessary this year to displace
the library in the new building.
which was fitted up by the ladies
Of the town, in order to provide
additional school room.
In view of these facts, tie
Mayor and Board of Aldermen
have come to the conclusion and
pledge themselves. that in case
the election on the bond issue,
Which is to be held on Aug. &c,
carries, that the S18, 600 bonds
will be issued and sold just as
speedily as a matter of that kind
can be handled. This ordinarily
requires from so to 80 days.
Then TIE board proposes as soon
as practicable after the proceeds
of the bond issue are in hand. to
take over the property. taking

INDUSTRIAL DEPRESSION
PRECEDING WAR

In addition to the indisputable evil
dences that it was the war that pro-
duced whatever degree of prosperity
we are now enjoying, let it be remem-
bered that prior to the outbreak of
the war our bank clearings were at
a low stage: the surplus of idle
freight carr had reached an appalling
figure; more miles OF railroads were
in the hands of receivers than ever
before in our history, and commercial
failures had also reached a record
breaking maximum. From every view
point the evidence shows a growing
industrial depression up to the time
the European war begain to exert a
beneficial influence upon our business,
and from that day a steadily rising
industrial improvement along lines
which clearly indicate to the UMPIRE
JUDGED mind the results of war or
ders.
Let it be clearly understood that we
do not assert that all the business
this country is doing today is war
business. Naturally and inevitably,
the change In our trade balance, the
cutting of of tourist expenditures
abroad, and the saving to our people
of the payment of interest and 1ivid-
ends. throws into the channels Ct do

AMERICANISM Is THE ISSUE
BEFORE THE PEOPLE

ACTIONS speak louder than words,
n however strong was the Ameri-
canism of the Baltimore platform,
however strong the Americanism of
the St. Louis platform may be made,
the electors o the United States will
Judge the Democratic party by the
actions of it's administration, not by
the eloquent words of the President,
not by the assertions of members OF
the Cabinet, not by the declarations
O. the orators in the campaign.
What American citizen in 1912
could read without admiration fof its
patriotic declaration the following
sentence from the Baltimore pat
form:
"rhe constitutional rights Of Amer
lean citizens should protect them en-
our borders and go with them
thu oughout the world. and eyerv
American citizen residing or having
property in any foreign country is Ell
titled to and must be given the full
protection of the United States gov
eminent, both for himself and his
property"
These words ring with American
ism, and the Americans in Mexico in
1912 read them, as did u country
men at home, with the feeling that the
party of Jefferson, of Monroe, of Jack
son, of Pierce, of Cleveland, would
make that Americanism as good IN
the twentieth century as the glorious
leaders named had done during the
100 years before. The words were all
right in 1912.
They are right today. They will be
right for all time to come.
But what of the action? What of
the deeds of the administration which
came into power on this promise?
Ask those weary American wander
ers, the refugees from Mexico.
Ask the British consuls who opened
their homes to our citizens hunted
ny O4CAACdA n4OOo.
Ask the German captains who res
cued our people from the murderers
who bounded them in the ports of
Tampico and Manzanillo.
Ask the admiral and the captains
of our own squadron ordered from
Tampico while hundreds of American
men, women and children were left
unprotected in that Mexican port.
They will respond; every one of
them will tell the story, but the mark
ed and unmarked graves of the hun
dreds of noble citizens of country
murdered by Mexican assassins dur
ing the past three years tell the tale
of Democratic protection of our peo-
pie more truly and eloquently than
all the other witnesses that can be
called. Every plank Of the st. Louis
platform may be saturated with
A~mericanism, but the American blood
that has saturated Mexican soil since
March 4, 1913, will bear witness as to
the infinite difference between party
promises and party performance.
1t is an era of Americanism. The
issue is made for this campaign.

testify to?-Washington Post.
