THE HUGHES ADDRESS
MILWAUKEE, Free Press

The indictment of Wilson administra.
ton by Charles Evans Hughes, in his
formal acceptance of the Republican
nomination is little short of tremen.
dous,
Dispassionately, impersonally j. anc
without appeal to partsanship, Mr..
Hughes, by the mere marshaling OF
fact and the exposition of its signif.
canoe, has exposed the present regime
at Washington for what it is-a regime
of the most injurious incompetence and
miserable 'pretense that the nation has
endured for generations.
In reading this powerful address, the
citizen is moved to forget that it is the
utterance of party candidate. He is
impressed first and foremost by the
patriotism. the profound Americanism
Of the speaker,
The appeal, therefore, transcends all
party lines. The demand for America
first and America efficient touches
the nation as whole, not merely a
part Of it; and the man who makes
that demand, on a plane Of high com
mon Americanism. must be recognized
as standard-bearer superior to all
narrow political considerations.
MIR. Hughes wins Furthermore by the
simple, unvarished manner Of his pre-
sentation. Here is no word-p painting,
no phrase mongering. no attempt to
confuse facts by pretty PHILOSOPHERS or
pulpit homiies. He faces the eountry's
desperate situation as il is. and he de-
scribes it so that every man may IN
derstand.

WEBSTER AND WILSON

Refuting President Wilson's bald
statement, made in a recent speech,
that "Force will not accomplish any
thing that is permanent, the New
York Sun reels off a list Of some ire
mendously successful accomplishments
Of force in our own history. This
forceful array OF forceful events is i'm
pressive surely:
"The thirteen original colonies of
this country became a nation through
force. Slavery was abolished in the
United States through force. The
wrongs done in Cuba were ended
through force, and President Wilson
has sent our whole available military
strength to the Mexican border"
But the Sun is dealing with the die
tionary definition of force. The Sun
fails to make allowances for the Viii
| son definition. Mr.. Wilson depends
upon the laws of humanity, not the
laws of Webster, 1t is perfectly and
horribly true that Woodrow Wilson's
brand of force will not accomplish any
thing that is permanent.
President Wilson sends an army to
Vera Cruz and withdraws it, leaving a
raw spot on Mexican destiny. He
promises to "omit no word nor deed
to protect American life on the high
seas, and temporizes. All very we'll
we are at peace. But Mr.. Wilson
force has not accomplished anything
| that is permanent. Mr. Wilson is
right, so far as this analysis of his own
experience goes,
The colonies would not have become
nation had we quit at Bunker Hill.
Slavery would not have been abolished
had the North considered its ideals sat
isfied by Bull Run. Cuba's wounds
would not have been healed had Shafter
| been called from Santiago. There
would have been force, of a sort, but
no permanent good.
Some day a Wilson dictionary will be
compiled 1t will be useful to people
who now persist in misunderstanding
their presidents philosophy. Boston

Now, if our congressman want to do

He is now a candidate for Congress.

word conservative. 1t is all right
to be conservative as well as progress

position Jim takes is the same as that
of Hughes, which is good Americanism.
Mr.. Monahan has numerous friends in

TO weigh the baby undress him and

After carefully weighing make note
OF the result, Then take baby out Of
D scale and weigh the blanket. Sub.
tract the weight and you will have the
exact weight OF your baby, without
exposing him to drafts.
The weight of the average baby at
birth Is about seven pounds. boys be.
ing heavier than girls. Still, a healthy
baby may weigh as little as FIVE or sir
pounds or on the other hand as much
ass10 or - pounds at birth.
In the first few days after birth
there may be slight falling OF in
weight but In four to 10 days this loss
is:regained and from then on the baby
should show a constant gain,
