Names to Conjwe With.

AT the hour of his nomination Mr.. Hughes
took occasion to remind the country that its
severest trials will come after the The
people know quite well that with the restoration
CT peace the whole world will enter upon a
period of financial and industrial rcadustment
and that many great questions having to do
with the future welfare of the United States
will require the highest quality of states
manship for their solution. When Europe's
armies lay down their arms world contest of
statecraft will commence, the result of which
will shape the destiny of nations. If these
events are not already transpiring at the time
when The President to be elected next Novem-
Der is inaugurated, there can be little doubt
that they will be close upon We shall
realize then never since our civil war the need
of strong government, whether it is headed
by Woodrow Wilson Charles Evans Hughes.
little straining of the vision for search
of the future reveals wonderful possibility.
Suppose Mr. Hughes should be elected, and
in the party every wound should be healed and
every animosity buried with all the men OF
proved greatness harmoniously working with the
countrys good in a momentous period as their
single aim. Under such ideal conditions what
wealth of intellect Mr. Hughes would have to
draw upon in organizing the government. He
could begin and almost finish his building with
Presidential timber.
Mr.. Root, of marvellous vision and vast ex-
perience, would be Secretary of State of course;
and Col Roosevelt would be wanted to build
the new navy, if only he would consent to do it.
AS Secretary Of War another former President,
splendidly equipped, looms large in the picture.
even though Col Roosevelt at the head Of the
navy and Mr.. Taft with the army behind him
strongly suggest war. No dreams of seeing
these two giants in the same Cabinet; it is a
remote possibility, of course, and yet a posi-
bility, should emergency arise great enough
to call them. Mr.. Lodge in all probability will
be beginning a new term in the Senate next
March, and Weeks, Borah and Harding will be
there, too; but Mr.. Hughes would not find it
necessary to ask serving the country in the
higher places to leave them to enter his Cabinet
Burton, Mann Herrick Wickersham, Hitchcock,
and half score of others easily Cabinet
size. On paper at least Republican govern
ment can be constructed that would instantly
command the fullest measure of the peoples
confidence.
1t is a fanciful picture, to be sure, but there
is no telling what the campaign may bring
forth. One thing is quite certain; should it be
known throughout the country on the day the
polls open next November that, in the event
of Mr. Hughes election, among the great states
men to sit with him at the council table, to
give their wisdom and knowledge and expert
ence to the service OF the nation in the days OF
her greatest need of them, would be Root,
Roosevelt and Taft, it would be worth many
thousands of votes to the Republican ticket.

In foreign affairs Mr.. Cleveland ex-
hibited the same hrmness and deci-
sion. and had given the country a
touch of his quality at the very out
set of his term of ofice.
One of his very first acts had been
to withdraw from the docket of the
Senate the treaty which Mr.. Harrison
had submitted to it for the annexa-
ton of the Hawaiian Islands TO the
United States.
That treaty was the eliminating
transaction OF a singular revolution.
The Hawaiian Islands were subject
to a sovereign queen whose power
had been reduced by constitutional
changes to the merely administrative
function of executing the laws passed
by a representative chamber, to which.
and not to herself. her ministers were
responsible.
Property and political power in the
Islands had. by processes which seem
ed to change the very character OF
the kingdom, come chiefly into the
1893. the queen determined to pro-
mulgate, upon her own sole authority,
a new constitution which should de-
prive them of the suffrage and bring
the legislature again under the con-
troll of the crown.
The foreigners at Honolulu. the capi-
tai. chiefly Americans. at once be-
stirred themselves to defeat her pur-
pose and get the government into
their own hands, and the resident min
lister of the United States lent them
his open aid. Marines and pieces OF
artillery were ordered on shore from
United States man-of-war lying in
the harbor; under their protection a
revolutionary provisional governme Mt
was set up which thrust the queen
aside until terms OF union with the
United States had been negotiated and
agreed upon" and on the 18th of
February. 1898. but a little more than
two weeks before the expiration of
his term as President, Mr.. Harrison
hurried a message to the Senate sub
mitting an annexation treaty and rec
ommending its ratification.
Meantime, on the 9Th OF February. the
minister of the United States at Honolulu.
acting without instructions. had pro-
claimed a protectorate OF the United
States over the Islands.
On the 4th Of March Mr.. Cleveland as
sumed the presidency. and promptly
withdrew the treaty.
A commission was at once despatched
to Hawaii to ascertain the full facts OF
the extraordinary transaction. and on the
18th OF December. 1898. the President sub
mitted his report to Congress. accom-
panied by a message in which he en-
phaucally repudiated and condemned
what the minister OF the United States
The Washington herald., 1916-06-16

weighed in the balance regardless OF their
moral pretensions Any question that is taken
into politics is necessarily regarded as political
and no professed nonpartisan saint can make
moral issue of a question which concerns the
individual liberty of one citizen which is to
be sacrificed at the demand of the individual
opinion of another citizen.
1t is a reflection upon the moral con-
science of the people to have clear political
issue paraded a moral issue, and after the
experience of the gentleman who travelled to
Chicago and St. Louis with the prohibition
plank to be fitted into all political platforms,
may we not hope to hear less OF prohibition
as a moral issue?

A New Spirit in the Navy.

Twenty-three enlisted men having passed the
qualifying examination for admission to the
Naval Academy under the law permitting the
annual appointment of fifteen, Secretary Daniels
has appealed to Congress for authority to ap-
point all the successful candidates. The authori-
cation should be granted. When the men be-
tween-deeks exhibit the zeal and capacity for
rising in the service shown in this instance they
should be encouraged, as in the best interest OF
naval development on the personnel side
The number of enlisted who have quail
fed ridshipmen this year contrasts with the
eight appointed last year and the FIVE admitted
in 1914. The ratio of increase demonstrates
the value of the law in furnishing an incentive
and stimulating ambition in sailors to ad-
vance. ..
Secretary Daniels has come in for consider
able criticism for his efforts to democratize the
navy. Yet it is doubtful if any Secretary ever
rendered it better service than in enabling
to rise from the ranks to post of COM
mand. That privilege vitalizes whole lot OF
human aspiration of which the navy has need

winter brought the Treasury Of the Uni
ted States once again within sight OF an
exhaustion Of its supply OF gold, and
then Guly-December. 1888 a question OF
foreign policy came under the President 8

made evident. and the country was
thrilled.

Deen pushed forward again and again,

= the government Of the United States had
used its good Offices TO bring the contro-

clusion. Ever since the famous declara-

to Those Interested.

d. Patrick has developed new va
riety Of spuds from seed in his gar
den on Blue Lakes boulevard Three
years ago he planted a potato ball
and that fall secured a number of little
tubers about the size of beans Last
year they were much larger Three
kinds were produced OF which two
were watery and were discarded while
the other proved a splendid baker.
Through a mistake most of the spuds
produced last were fed to hogs, but
from those that escaped that fate, sew
eral bushels of fine flesh-colored po-
tatoes were produced Mr. Patrick be-
lieves that these Will prove more sat
isfactory than spuds developed in 9TH
er states under different conditions.
He brought few to THE TIMES Sat
urday to show them. Mr.. Patrick says
