HUGHES PLEA FOR TARIFF.
Republican Candidate Narrowly
Escapes Crash With Train.

OSWECO, \. Y, October 2S.-Charles
E. Hughes in his speech here today told
an audience that 1--WE are living in
fools paradise if we expect our pres
ent prosperity to continue when the
abnormal demands of Europe have
spent their force after the war"
do not deceive yourself" Mr.
Hughes said, with the idea that after
this war there will be an entry into the
commercial rivalry of nations SO inn
poverished. so wasted, that they will
he unable to give an effective COMPETE
ton. We are cherishing the notion Of
a prosperity suddenly created and des-
tined to cease when the European war
ends.
Let not American labor deceive
itself with the delusion that we can
maintain the prosperity we now enjoy
based on the exceptional demands of
the war, after those demands have
been satisfied. This competition is
coming: you cant dispose OF II by
phrases; you can't mock it by words.
1t is there: it is going to come.
You have got TO meet the situation
by the application of the sound Ameri-
can principle of a protective tariff.
What a vain thing it is now to tell
labor that it is in a state where ii can
congratulate itself upon the present
temporary superiority"
The special train of Charles e.
Hughes narrowly missed running
down the republican presidential candi-
date, who was in an automobile. when
he returned to the railroad station
after making his campaign speech
here today.
Mr.. Hughes automobile drove direct
Iy in front of the train, which, having
left the station to turn around while
the candidate was speaking, was not
visible around the curve as II was
pulling back into the station. A band
was playing and the noise of the APP
preaching train could not be heard.
The automobile backed away in time
to avert an accident. 1t ran into the
machine just behind and the crowd on
the tracks scattered quickly. The
train was brought to an abrupt stop
without injury to any one.

NEW YORK, October 2S,-The Trib-

Efficiency of Employees
Increased by Recreation,
Demonstrated by Experts

The value of recreation in recuperating
employees, returning them to their work
with increased vim and enthusiasm, is
one Of the considerations being given
most earnest attention by those who
are furthering the effort to secure for
the government employees the extension
Of the Saturday half holiday through
out the entire year.
Strangely enough this very condition
in Washington was pointed out more
than q year ago as a contrast of mis-
guided zeal for conservation Of devo-
ton to government business, in an artf-
Gle on Lest Jack Be a Dull Boy" in
magazine Of wide circulation. This

increasing their efficiency. The DOWN

amusement demands more general
recognition than 1t has heretofore re-
ceived in America. From time to time

THE English, as race, are decidedly
more inclined to rate amusements at their
proper worth in the scheme of the human
normal existence than are their cisatlan-

Is found In a comparison of Who's Who
with Who Is Who in America. At the
end of each biography in the former work
the favorite 'recreations' Of the subject
are generally stated. while the publish

In some quarters it was argued that

known fact that little progress has
been made in many weeks of discussion
was cited to support this view.
It also was noted that recent reports
OF the conference have. said that cues

AS to the charges contained in the

Secretary of the Interior Lane, chair
man of the American commission, in
sisted tonight. however that at no time
have the Mexicans accompanied their
charges with language such as that

Unflinching Insistence on
American Rights on Land
and Sea. Mr.. Hughes Urues

NEWARK, n. Y. October 2s.-Char,es
E. Hughes, who arrived this morning
from Rochester. told an audience of
farmers today that America could have
neither peace nor security until she
was prepared to maintain un1iinching-
ly the known rights of her citizens on
land and sea.
Our opponents have told US in very
explicit terms, he said, that the con-
stitutional rights of American citizens
should follow them throughout the
world and that wherever they were
lawfully following their business they
should have full protection for their
lives and property. That principle. be-
heve in. but performance has not
matched promises.
Self-Respect Essential.
I'VE shall have no peace. no security
unless We maintain our self-respect, un-
less we have the esteem and friendship
Of all nations unless the American nag
means Justice. courteous treatment, but
firm and unfiinching insistence upon
American rights with respect to lives;
property and commerce on land ano

house. Scores of farmers arrived too
late to find room in the building.
The candidate assailed the democrat
ic party as one "of broken promises,
citing. among other things. the alleged
failures to observe the merit system IN
making appointments and to reduce the
high cost of living.
"Our opponents told us they were
going to reduce the high cost of liv-
ing" he said. I'VE now have the
higher cost of living. They have had
certain policy to which for genera
tons they have adhered. / do not re-
gard it as an American policy. 1t is
very obviously unsuited to the econ
omic needs at this time.
Temporary Prosperity, He Says.
I'VE have now a temporary pros
perity due to the abnormal conditions
brought about by the European war.
But what are the conditions we have
had? Is it possible that we can now
forget the conditions that existed in
this country before the war? Consider
the business depression before the war,
consider the serious condition with re-
spect to many enterprises throughout
thise country. Plants were closed,
others were on reduced time, thousands
of men were walking the streets or
our large cities looking for work. 1t
was a day Of soup houses.
Mr. Hughes declared that to prevent
a .repetition" of business depression
when the war ends il would be FOUND
necessary to apply the sound repub-
lican doctrine of protection to Amerl-
can industries. /.
