HUGHES, SPEECH. :

HUGHES SPEECH. - read the
speech of acceptance by the Hon.
Judge Hughes. 1t has a splendid
tone and is so full of promises. A
little mixture of Teddy's thunder was
injected into it, it appears to me.
What a wonderful future must be
in store for US if the Hon. Judge
Hughes should be fortunate enough
to be elected over Wilson this fall
He has promised much and I trust
that if successful he will make his
promises stand up as well as Pres.
Wilson has.
Mr.. Hughes criticism of Pres. Will
son is only natural. He cannot use
the full dinner pail bunk on the peo-
pie this time, so he and the G. o. P.
must resort to other means to in
terest the voter against one of the
greatest presidents this country has
ever known.

speech. He used the term admirable,
and, coming from him, that is plen-
ty. Amen!-J. L.

WILSON'S ADMINISTRATION
There has been some criticism
made against the Wilson admins
tratiOn by Forum writer's. What
faults have these persons charged up
against Wilson? If they have some
reason, let them come out with it.
Hasn't Wilson been doing his best
for the welfare of this country? If
some of these critics will imagine
themselves in Wilson's place they
would be mighty careful with their
criticism. Think how Wilson has
been slammed right and left, UnmeT-
cifuIly, by the land-grabbing news
papers in trying to persuade him to
declare war. But did they succeed?
No, he was too wise for them. How
many men could go through what
Wilson did and yet keep the country
out of war. Not many, venture.
Those who are looking for some
thing to knock Wilson with have
found something new. They say
WuSOu 10 pun pOoSIy preventing CuS
return of the militia, fearing that if
they do come back they will not vote
for him because he had ordered them
to the border. That's rot. If he was
looking for votes all he had to do was
to declare war and nearly all the
newspapers in the country would pat
him on the back and use all their in
flUence to have him elected again.
Everybody was kicking for pre-
paredness. Well, they got it. Those
patriotic volunteers feel it.
Some critics criticize Wilson for
no other reason save boosting. an

Too Much Charitu
And Silly Chatter
BY SToUGHToN COOLEY
In The Public.

Secretary OF War Baker has done well
TO rebuke those officious individuals
who hover about the army camps seek
ing opportunities to supplement the work
OF the government and acquire a little
cheap notoriety. No sooner had the Pres
ident called out the militia than appeals
were issued for subscriptions to the Red
Cross
Certain public-spirited individuals
bought with their private means ma
chine guns, field kitchens and other mil.
itary impedimenta- And when the troops
started for the border some of them had
TO ride in day coaches One would have
thought from the press comment that
this was the last test of soldiers en-
durance.
Yet most of the people who travel in
this country never Were in a sleeping car
and this includes women and children
And when the troops had arrived at the
border, heart-rending stories came back
of the suffering OF the men, of the heat,
of the rain, OF the mud, of the insects,
and of fcvers, until the good people at
home looked upon their loved ones as
already lost.
Congressman rushed to the war de
partment to have their home BOYS
moved here and moved there, and beg.
gng this to be done and that to be done
And then came the struggle for official
prefcrment, just a taste of the scandal
Gus intrigue that attended promotions
during the Civil war.
There is but one way for the people
of this country to escape making them
selves the laughing stock of the world.
and that is to stand out boldly for peace
We are not military nation. We never
will be a military nation, unless civiliEa-
ticn itself is failure.
We can maintain small military cs
tablishment with fair degree of eff
cheney. But even that will be subject to
all manner OF abuse and misrepresenta-
tion from politicians. We could not If
We wished have such military estab-
lishment as Germany has.
Our people would not submit to the
necessary discipline. And even if we
had such an establishment the opposition
press would make it out to the last
word in bungling inefficiency. 1t would
seem, however, as tho we might be con
tent to let the government handle what
armies we have. Surely it is able to buy
the necessary Red Cross equipment, and
supply the hospitals needed. 10 would
be strange government that insisted
upon tearing its citizens TO pieces, yet
failed TO provide the rucans for patching
them up.
II the government does not take prop
er care of its soldiers, it should not be
entrusted with them. As n matter of
fact all the horrifying stories from the
border have been contradicted, which
goes to show that a war correspondent,
like other correspondents, earns his daily
bread by filling up the columns OF his
paper. There are great problems con-
fronting the American people, yet they
must see rcoms of paper wasted in de-
failing the tittlo-tattle of the army
camps.

TAVENNER DENOUNCES
TAYLOR SPEED SYSTEM
WOULD PLACE woRKMEN PREMA-

Five Different Committees of Congress
Have Investigated Stop Watch Plan
and All Condemned 1t.

In a recent speech in the House of
Representatives on so-called scientific
management" Congressman Tayenner of
Illinois said:
The stop-watch system of shop man
agement should be styled a system to
place workmen on the scrap head prema-
turely. That is what it does. OF course,
by speeding up workmen they can be
made to turn out more work, Just as
man by running instead of walking NAV
be able to cover a block more quickly,
but he will not be able to cover blocks
all day and day after day at the same
pace without injury to his constitution.
Let us see what Mr.. Taylor said about
his system. He invented it. He said,
telling about how the system was put
into effect at the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany plant:
The tasks were all purposely made
so severe that not more than one out of
five laborers, perhaps even a smaller per-
centage than that, could keep up

Taylor's book on Scientific Manage

persuasion Eight bosses sometimes as
sist in the persuasion Five OF them
are directly over the workman urging
him on. In other words, this system is
50 inhuman in some cases foremen evil
IDENTIFY refused to enforce it, so Mr.. Tay-
lor provided a method OF overforemen to
take care of any weak-hearted foreman.
Mr.. Taylor said;
The functions of these overforemen
are twofold:
First. That of teaching each of the
bosses under them the exact nature of
his duties, and at the start also of nerv-
ing and bracing them up to the point of
insisting that the workman shall carry
out the orders exactly as specified on the
instruction card
This system has been investigated by
five different committees OF Congress,
and every one Of those committees dep
rccated the use Of the stop watch. SEN
