EACH STAND C0NTRADICTED
FROM | TO 6 OF THE OTHERS

Democratic Candidate Said That Our
Army Wa Ample and That We Did
Not Have Enough Troops to Patrol
the Border; That We were on the
Verge Of a MaeIstrom and That
There Was No Critical Situation;
That the National Guard Would
Not DO and Then That 1t Must Do.
In the fourteen months extending
from December Sth, 1914, to February
10th, 1916, there were fifteen ,lies-
sages. letters and speeches Of Presi-
dent Wilson which I have read. In
these fifteen messages, letters and
speeches. during those fourteen
months, President Wilson took forty
n different positions about prepared
ness and the measures necessary to
secure it and each of these forty-one
positions contradicted from one to six
of the others. In many Of his speeches
the weasel words Of one portion Of
the speech took all the meaning out
of the words used in another portion
Of that speech and these latter words
themselves had Il weasel significance
rs regards set other words. He ar
gued for preparedness. and against
preparedness. He stated that our
army was ample; and that we did
not have enough troops to patrol the
Mexican border in time Of peace. lie
said the world WAS on fire, and that
sparks were liable TO drop anywhere
and cause US to burst into flame; and
he also said that there was no imme-
diate danger. He said that there was
no sudden crisis; and then again that
he did not know what a single day
would bring forth. He said tha we
were on the verge of IL maelstrom;
and then that there was no special
or critical situation. He said the dam
ger was constant and immediate; and
also that We were not threatened FROM
any quarter. He said that there was
no fear among us; and also that we
were in daily danger Of seeing the
vital. Interest and honor of the country
menaced and the flag Of the United
States stained with impunity. He
said chat we were in very critical
danger of being involved in the great
European struggle; and also that
there was no need to dicuss the
question of defense, or to get nervous
or excited about it. In one and the
same speech, he said that a sufficient
number of men would volunteer, and
that If they did not he would be
ashamed of America and he also said
that he did not know Of any law
which laid upon them the duty Of COM
ing into the army, If it should be
necessary to call for volunteers. He
said that we needed 100000 volunteers,
M that if there was any legitimate
criticism of this demand it was be.
caus it was too small and as soon
as Congressman Hay objected to the
plap, he promptly abandoned it. He
said that the National Guard was not
the proper body upon which to rely;
and then not only changed his own
mind but forced his own Secretary OF
war out of his cabinet, because this
Secretary possessed less flexible con-
victions and was unable instantly to
reverse himself when going at full
speed.-From the Speech of Colonel
Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan,
IN Behalf OF Nr. Hughes.

There is one particular subject with
which the United States must deal
in order 10 meet the revulsion in pro-
ductiOn and trade which will accom-
pany the close Of the great war. That
is the Tariff. I think there is very
general agre, .nent upon Thar. When
the demand for supplies to the ARMIES
in the field has ended great numbers
OF men will return to productive en-
ploEment IN Europe and great num-
hcrs Of operatives will be thrown out
OF employment here and will have to
find other work. Europe will have
little money and be heavily in debt.
She will be under strong compulsion
to pay her debts by making and SELL
ing goods. She will be on Il basis of
strict economy and high organization
and she make and sell cheaply.
The United States will have an album
lance OF money and yast purchasing
power. Our market has always been
attractive to European producers. 1t
will be far more attractive after the
war. It is highly probable that even
England will reSort to Il protective
tariff, so t1at our production will meet
protective barriers IN all foreign mar
kets, What are we going to do then?
We must do something. We must pro-
tect ourselves. or we shall become the
dumping: ground of the world and II
wOrkinen will beg in the streets.
Even the Democrats haye seen
that something must be done, for tbey
have provided a tariff board to ascer-
tain and report the true facts to which
a tariff law is to be applied. In Mr..
Tnft's Administration the Republicans
provided for 81 tariff board to report
to the President and it was appointed
and doing excellent work. When tI,e
Democratic House elected in 1910
came In they starved it Out Of exist.

WILSON DEEMED 1T FUTILE
TO STAND FIRMLY.

President Wilson seeks to JUS.
tify himself on the ground that
It was futile" and dangerous
to "stand firmly" This is an
appeal that can with equal truth
be made by every soldier who
runs away in battle. He further
alleges his belief that the cause
he championed "has the sane
ton of the judgment of society
in it's favor" l remember thir-
ty-odd years ago in the Black
Hills a local vigilance commit
tee which was in doubt about
hanging a suspected wrongdoer.
While they were discussing the
matter, there appeared over the
peighboring divide q frowsy, ell
qerly horseman in a linen dus-
ter, who promptly galloped TO-
wards them waving his arms
and shouting "Hang him! Hang
him!" The lender of the vigil
lantes at once asked the frowsy
stranger what he knew of the
facts, whereupop the stranger
answered: II do not know any
thing about the facts, and ] new
or saw the man before; but
there's eleven of you and only
one of him, and I believe In ma
Jority rule" This is merely a
picturesque paraphrase Of what
Mr.. Wilson calls action under
the sanction Of society,"" 1t ex-
emplifies the principle upon
which President Wilson has act
ed In those public matters, in
.ernal and external, where he
was threatened with the use of
force.-From the Speech Of Col.
onel Roosevelt ut Battle Creek.

Hughes.

PRE-INCA RAGE WAS c>sssss4 ssag HIGHLY CIVILIZED
Explorer Back With Jewels
 Set In Platinum.

Professor Marshall H. Saville, head of the Museum of American Indians, one of a group maintained by the His panic society in New York has just returned from South America with what he believes to be convincing proof of the existence of a pre-Inca race that attained much higher degree of civilization than that exhibited by the early remains of historic races. He was accompanied by his son Randolph, his only companion in three years of exploratory work along the boundaries of Colombia and Ecuador.
 Some highly interesting specimens were brought back by the Savilles, among them fine jewels set in plati- mum, found in the archaeological re- mains. Professor Saville believes these to date many centuries before the Christian era.
 "Whereas platinum has been known to our civilization only about 15O years" said Professor Saville, ''these natives had been working in this sub- stance ages anterior to the birth of Christ. We find that it requires 4, 400 degrees F. to melt platinum. On ac- count of it's great hardness we work it with heat. But this pre-Inca race beat it with stone hammers, doing some eX- ceedingly intricate work''

America One Briqht Spot.

Another phrase copyrighted without def milton by the Republicans is "American honor" Now. everybody knows there are as many kinds of honor as there are kinds of men. A gambler believes that honor consists in paying his gaming debts. A crook believes 1t consists in shielding his pals and a thief in fairly dividing the booty.
 Individual honor changes with the ages Alexander Hamilton thought that honor demanded that he give Aaron Burr a chance to kill him, but we now do not think so. The honor Of America is sim, " the composite opinion of the American people as to when and why we should go to war
 Let any organized government upon tho face of the earth. through its government tai authorities deliberately offer an insult to the flag or trample upon the rights of the American people, and the spirit of '76 will be found alive everywhere in our land.
 The one bright. peaceful spot under the sun this davis America. and 1t is so be- cause the president pleads guilty to the charge of using words rather than shot and shell aod shrapnel.
 Politicians and partisans strut their brief hour and disappear. Socrates drank his cup of hemlock. but philosophy lived on. The spirit of S7vanarola went up in smoke from the market place of Florence. but religion remained the supreme hope of the misiudged. Lincoln went to his martyr S crown. but tte republic was reunited and still lives.
 The judgment of the American people is not to make martyr of the man who brooded over the republic in storm stress to the troubled seas of international poli-
