A WOman's View-It is doubtful if
any man has explained his reasons for
supporting Mr.. Hughes with such
clear, convincing logic as character
ICES the statement of Mrs. Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, whose husband was
Acting American Ambassador to Mexi-
CO during and for some time before
the seizure of Vera Cruz. Mrs
O'Shaughnessy says, 81 am for Hughes
because with my own eyes | have
seen the destruction of a nation; with
my own ears / have heard the cries of
that bleeding, agonized remnant of
what three years ago was the Mexican
people; | have seen, under the aus
pieces of the Democratic administra-
ton, organized government destroyed
in a sovereign state-whose greatest
misfortune at this time is to be our
neighbor. | have seen authority de-
stroyed as certainly as il we had taken
the machinery of administration into
our physical hands and broken it
And in regard to all this ! have seen
installed an organized campaign of
misrepresentation where the wrongs
of this sister nation are concerned
whereby the cries of the people have
been stified. their agonies concealed,
NHafr ali thar nj
trampled to earth. l have seen the
House of God profaned, the ministers
of Christ cast into ignominy, holy wo-
men defiled. And last, but not least.
l have seen our citizens, whose right
to protection there is as indlsputable
as that OF the sons of England, Ger
many, France, Spain, japan, respoiled
OF the fruits of honest labor. Our
women have been outraged, our chill
dren tortured, our men left to lie IN
their blood, Now. with the help of
God. and confinding in the underlying
greatness Of our nation, hope for the
vindication OF our honor where other
nations are concerned-and the per-
formance Of our duty where our own
people are concerned. l am for
Hughes-because believe a man has
arisen who. as Chief Executive. will
safeguard our most precious posses
sion on land and sea-at home and
abrOad-Our national honor"

Roosevelt ut Wilkesbarre-Ex-P Pres
ident Roosevelt, who appointed the
Anthracite Coal Strike Commission
and forced the owners of the Pennsyl-
vania coal mines to accept arbitration
of their controversy with their en-
ployes. has decided to go to Wilkes
barre, on Saturday. October IA, and
there explain to the very miners who
we're the beneficiaries of his insist
ence on arbitration, how President
Wilson sacrificed the principle of arb-
tration when he took his stand against
arbitrating the demands of the Rail-
way Brotherhoods, how he has in
jured the cause of organized labor,
with the possible exception of the
members of the Brotherhoods, and
how their advantage is merely temper
airy. because Mr.. Wilson has by his
course taken negotiations regarding
all questions affecting the conditions
of labor from the unions and the en-
ployers and established the precedent
for fixing them by legislative enact
ment. He will show that the newt
able tendency of Mr.. Wilson's course
is to reduce the labor unions to mere
insurance agencies and that this is a
backward step for organized labor
AS Mr.. Roosevelt's friendship for la
Dor has been substantially demon
strated, his Interpretation of the
Adamson bill in what may be regarded
as the home or arbitration of labor
controversies is bound to be awaited
with the utmost interest.

nd opportunity and the most serious

and opportunity and the most serious
sacrifice of individuals. Because. III
til he had been convinced by other
Democrats that 1t was politically ex-
pedient to advocate preparedness. Mr.
Wilson persisted in shutting his owp
eyes and trying to shut those of the
public regarding conditions in Mexico,
there are now on the border, under
arms, approximately 100000 national
guardsmen whose place. il there is no
war, is at home, following their nor
NAL advocations and supporting their
families. The loss to them of this SER
vice is a total loss. There will be no
opportunity to recover that which
they have lost because Mr.. Wilson's
lack of sincerity and foresight made
necessary their performance of that
police duty which should devolve up
on the regular army. There will be
no compensation to their wives and
children and dependent mothers for
the privations they have suffered be-
cause their natural supporters were
called upon to do this work. The cost
to the government, and therefore to
the whole people, will be enormous.
Already it has cost not less than $125,-
100000. This is the price--a part OF
the price-the people are paying for
Mr.. Wilson's war with Mexico Dur
ing the month ending September %
last, S72 men were recruited in New
York State to fill up militia regiments
The cost of this recruiting was S25,OO0
or about $40 per man.
