UNITED STATES HONOR.
Hughes Criticism Of Foreign Policy
Approved In West.
Portland (Ore.) Telegram.l

The Republican party has selected
a standard bearer whose utterances
from day TO day justify the people
who chose him. Not only does he
bring before the country the short
ComingS OF the Administration that
WI its existence to a divided Re-
publicanism, but his criticism Is every
where constructive.
He tells what must be done and will
he done by the party he represents to
prevent wastefulness and extravaganza
in the governmental expenditures and
to put a stop to the vacillating policy
that has caused other nations TO be-
lieve that the United States has no in
tention Of backing up its demands
made in the interests Of justice and
humanity.
Most vulnerable OF all points in the
Democratic armor is its foreign policy.
Primarily this is because of the spoils
system by which men trained in the
consular and diplomatic service
through long years, have been dlsplac-
ed TO make room for politicians and
friends OF POLITICIANS, WhoSe sole claim
70 Dreferment was their services to the
Democratic party.
IF | am elected president OF the
United States" said Mr.. Hughes last
night. 81 propose that every man |
nut in charge Of an important depart
ment shall be a man eminently fit to
discharge the duties OF that depart
ment."
The denuding of the diplomatic serv-
ice of men of experience in order to
supply political jobs, as has been done
hv Mr.. Wilson, or with his consent,
Mr.. Hughes denounces as "a capital
DEMONSTRATING in the good name OF
the United States and damaging its
honor" Nobody" he adds, has a
right to pay political debts with the
GOOD name and honor OF the United
states"
Which is clear proof that Mr..
Hughes has not been unmindfu' Of the
high principles OF government which
must be maintained in order that this
republic shall maintain its place as a
shining example to all nations.

During the Present Administration We
Have Seized a Mexican Port and

to Fight Mexicans While Armed
Mexican Forces Have Invaded Amer

Our People.
Sometimes you hear men, sensible
men, too, say, "I'm going to vote for
Wilson this year because he kept us
out OF war;
Ask such men a short question, Ask
them, Out of what WARP"
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out of the
European war? No. He has himself
in a formal address to congress spoken
cf the European war as "a war with
which we have nothing to do, a wal
whose causes do not touch u.s." How
could Mr.. Wilson keep us out of a wal
with which we have nothing to do and
whose causes do not touch us?
Did he keep the rest Of the western
hemisphere out of the European war;
No independent nation on this side OF
the world is involved in it; the only
people in it are the colonies of Euro
pean powers and they had no voice in
their fate, for they were automatically
at war when their mother governments
went to war. Who kept Argentina,
Brazil. Chile. Peru, out of the Euro
pean war? Did Mr.. Wilson?
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out Of var
with Mexico? No. In his term more
Americans have been killed by Next
cans and more American property has
been destroyed by MeXiCans than by
Spanlards during the whole Spanish

Mexican port and have sent our entire
regular army and militia to fight Next
cans. In his term Mexican armed
forces have invaded American soil and
fought battles against our people with

President Taft went through two
Mexican revolutions during his term,
the revolution against Diaz and the
revolution against Madero. American
lives were safe in Mexico during that
tllne NO AIcAlcdu Clues WERE SS4AcN
by Americans and no armed MeXicans
invaded the United States while Mr..
Taft was in the White House. Yet Mr..
Taft never thought of asking the
American people to vote for him be-
cause he kept us out of war with Mex
leo. He put an embargo on arms so
that American weapons would not be

Americans, and Americans were safe

dare not remain in Mexico. Did Mr..
Wilson keep us out of war with Next

Mr.. Wilson did not keep US out Of

when we contemplate Industrial
and commercial conditions" says Mr..
Hughes, eve see that we are living In
a fools paradise" This is the condi
ton to which the administration and
its supporters have deliberately closed
their eyes, When the war cloud broke
owe Europe this country was expert
cncing the most serious depression ii
had known since 1898, when the Demo
cratic party and its policies were il
full control Of the United States.
Suddenly there came from over the
sea a demand for munitions of war,
clothing, food, supplies, everything
needed by vast armies and by coun
tries whose sons were taken from the
field and the workshop. never to re
turn.
As a result our exports and the bal
ance of trade in u favor have reach
ed figures far surprising any ever be
fore known. Temporarily, especially In
the east, there is no lack of work at
high wages, for Europe must pay
whatever price America asks. No
thoughtful person would imagine that
this condition is anything like real
prosperity, How false 1t Is we IN
Oregon. who have the clearer vision,
because not clouded by the smoke from
munitions factories, have fully felt and
fully appreciated.
What the Republican candidate for
president says about it the Democrats
know to be true:
Our opponents promised to reduce
the cost Of living. This they have
failed TO do, but did reduce the op
p%ortunities Of making a living. Let us
not forget the conditions that existed
in this country under the new tariff
prior to the war. Production had de
creased; business was languishing;
new enterprises were not undertaken;
instead Of expansion there was cur
tailment, and our streets were filed
with the unemployed"
The suspension Of these conditions
Is not nation wide, only sectional, and
depends upon the duration of the war.
Those who think otherwise are indeed
living in a FOOLS paradise Portland
