Walter Lippman, noted economist, and II of the editors of the

HUGHES BECOMES PETULANT

In Louisville Wednesday ngiht Candidate Hughes made a attempt
to answe what would you have done in the Luitania affair when the
question a put to him by of his audience. In his answer Mr..
hughes probably went farther than eve he did before, III it IS still IN
satisfying and only carried the implication that he would have done
something Of the order that Roosevelt has been declaring. His state
mcnt that because he would have had strong lei in his cabinet and
therefore the Iusiania would not have been sunk is as silly as it was
bWaStul.
Graft had 4 strong cabinet. but that did not prevent the Virginius
affair; Lincoln was surrounded by some of the strongest men IN Amerl-
N history, but that did not ward off the almost hostile methods that
Britain pursued, and Cleveland and his first cabinet failed to prevent the
cruel massacre of Captain Emmet Crawford and his gallant troops when
they went into Mexico in search of Geronimo.
But Mr.. Hughes has been heckled SO long by questions az o what
he would have done that it has got on his nerves and giving away to
Roosevelt, but he cannot put that stuff with the dexterty OF the
colonel He isn't bull. that way. And if elected president and it took
him as long to come to a decision IS it has taken him to form an opinion
on the many matters he has been questioned about the world would
have time to burn up.

GERMAN BLOWS" FOR AMERICAN PRESIDENTS

What the German vote has undertaken to accomplish in this CAM
pagn is stated precisely and definitely by the New-Yorker IIerold:
Every o. and then we receive letters the contents OF which may
be summarized in the following question: In the face OF the fact that
Messrs. Roosevelt, Bacon and other rabid antiGermans are standing for
Hughes, don't you believe that Gcrman-AmerTanism is entering upon
a dangerous path when it unreservedly supports the Republican candi
date?
an answc to this we are able to say that, judging from Hughes
past he will not, under any circumstances, allow himself to be influenced
by these elements in his environment. But wei in the worst case eve
if Charles +. Hughes should wish to take into office with him the pro-
Brtishsm and the ntiGernanism Of which Woodrow Wilson has given
such practical and extensive proofs, every either of German origin
should cast his vote for Hughes for the reasons outlined a follows by a
German pastor written in the Eerold DIES Glaubens:
"Tn case the German Americans give Mr.. Wilson a sharp lesson in
the election, his successor, Hughes, in order not to spoil the prospects of
a second term, will take this well to heart and not feel under the obiga-

What the German propaganda contemplates is a German party in

Those who offend it are to feel the effect of German blows" President
Wilson is to be defeated because he is persona MOI grata to the German
government. Mr. Hughes is to be elected because he is persona grata to
Berlin; but if he should venture as president O. the United States to as

Mrs. Z. d. Knight, president of the California State Federation OF
Womens clubs, and a former Nevada girl, having been raised and educat-
ed in Virginia City, has the following to say o n what suffrage has done
for women in California:
Suffrage has raised the status of women in California, has changed
mans attitude toward her, causing a increased Difference, n increased
valuation Of her words There has been a marked increase OF interest
in the woman's point Of view, not only by individuals, but by organiza-
tons. Women have quietly studied political issues, piled their male rela-
tives and friends with questions Ito which nothing but straight answers
are accepted), and have shown a surprising aptness for fulfilling the
duties OF citizens, as well a a keen intuition where the Measurement Of
candidates for office was concerned. Suffrage has increased woman's
opportunity; it has put a refining influence around the polls; it has
strengthened the family bond"

wish | had time to say something
about another very great man, the
Spaniard Ceramics, who died on the
same day as Shakespeare: the author
of the altogether remarkable book,
Don Quixote. | saw this immortal
work portrayed in a moving picture
the other night, and it certainly was
entertaining. The "Qnixotic" knight
and his faithful squire Sancho Panza,
have ,as firm hold upon the affections
of the world as they did three hundred
years ago, and no doubt the coming
centuries for ages will hold these two
supremely gifted writer's in loving
remembrance.
Sidney Smith, the great English
humorist, once visited a lady who had
little dog, named Spot, of which she
was very fond. She asked the humor-
ist to write a poem about the dog,
who was frisking around the table.
