UNITED STATES HONOR.
Huqhes' Criticism Of Foreign Policy
Approved In West.
portland, Ore, Telegram.)

portland, Ore, Telegram.)
The Republican party has selected
standard-bearer whose utterances
from day to day Justify the people
who chose him. Not only does he
bring before the country the short
comingS Of the Administration that
owes it's existence to divided Re-
publicanism, but his criticism is every
where constructive.
He tells what must be done and
will be done by the party he repre-
sents to prevent wastefulness and
extravaganza in the governmental
expenditures and to put a stop TO the
vacillating policy that has caused
other nations to believe that the
United States has no intention OF
hacking up its demands made in the
interests Of justice and humanity.
Most vulnerable of all points in the
Democratic arnOr is its foreign pol
lev. Primarily this is because Of the
s,,0ils system by which men trained
in the consular and diplomatic Serv-
ice through long years. have been
ticians and friends of politicians
whose sole claim to preferment was
their service to the Democratic party.

| United States" said Mr.. Hughes last
night. 81 propose that every man

has right to pay political debts

United States."

tons.

THE INcoNsIDERATE BEHAVIOR
OF A CANDIDATE.

Why does Mr.. Hughes insist upon
talking about that old-fashioned, not
to say ubiquitous" doctrine, the pro-
| tectiye tariff? For nearly the whole
period of it's industrial existence, the
! United States struggled along under
| protection. The Democratic party in
| 1913 came to the relief Of an afflicted
| and burdened people.
The Republican Administration (nOt
| on account of the tariff, it is true)
was OyerthrOwn. Before taking over
the reins Of government and for many
! years prior to that time, countless
| Democratic statesmen had vainly tried
| to persuade the American people that
the protective tariff was an iniquity,
veritable cOntrivance OF devils. 1t
fOstered the trusts, and it was an ele-
water of prices even to the thirty-Sev-
enth story and the tower. They prom
Used relief. The poor should be no
longer oppressed; the cost of living
should be reduced-muSt be, as the
sure result of tariff for revenue
protective only in spots, such as the
Louisiana sugar mills and the Carolina
cotton factories.
Doesn't Mr.. Hughes know what the
Administration did which he is now
attacking? He ought to know. The
Democrats under the leadership Of
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Underwood re-
pealed that iniquity and abomination,
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law-that fOs-
ter mother of trusts and high prices
and enacted in it's place the present
law Mr.. Hughes knows, of course,
as every head Of family in America
knows, that the trusts have not yet
been dissolved and that the cost Of
living is higher than ever,-that the
price Of everything has reached an un-
heard-Of height-but what of it?
What OF it, indeed? While it is
true that a protective tariff never fail
ed, under any circumstances. to pro-
tect American industry and American
labor, it is TO be considered that the
war in Europe has upset the plans OF
the present lOw-tariff administration
considerable Also it forms an excel
very unusual condition.
Now, the obvious thing for Mr..
Hughes to do is to give the Demo
Gratis q chance to get their tariff on
straight Never mind the patient; let
the doctor experiment. That time
won't come of course, until the war
is Over-according to the Democratic
version. In other words the tariff
fOr-revenue doctrine doesn't fit the
conditions; the conditions must be
made to fit the tariff. So why this
disturbance, Mr.. Hughes?
Besides, when you discuss a little
thing like the tariff, do you not know
that Son-in-Law McAdOO and the other
statesmen of the Democratic family
arc likely to repeat their accusation
that you are ''pettifogging" ?-Charles-
ton, w. Va, Mail.

HUGHES LABOR RECORD.

When Mr.. GOmpers, remembering
only that he is a Democrat and for
getting that he Is a leader of organ
lied labor, ventured to assert that
Mr. Hughes is unfriendly to labor be-
cause he cOncurred in the unanimous
decision in the Danbury hatters' case,
he ventured on very thin ice. The
Chicago Tribune promptly reminds
him that an honest Judge must apply
the law as he thinks 1t Is, not as
he thinks 1t ought to be; and asks
him to tell those who look to him
for political advice something about
the record of Mr. Hughes as Gov
ernOr. Read what the Legislative
Labor News, the official organ of the
New York Federation of Labor, said
editOrially when Mr.. Hughes left the
Governors chair at Albany for his
place on the supreme court. Here it
is:
"NOw that Gov. Hughes has retired
from politics and assembled to q place
on the highest judicial tribunal in the
world, the fact can be acknowledged
. HII1IOut 1lUA IAh6 any DOuy
corns that he was the greatest friend
Of labor laws that ever occupied the
Governors chair at Albany. During
his two terms he has siened fifty-six
labor laws, including among them the
best labor laws ever enacted in this
or any state.
"He also urged the enactment OF
labor laws in his messages to the
Legislature, even going so far as to
place the demand for a labor law in
enc of his messages TO an extra ses-
sion OF the Legislature.
"Only 1872 labor laws have been
enacted in this state since its cree
ton in 1777-in 133 years. One-third
of these, exceeding in quality all OF
the others. have been enacted and
signed during Gov. Hughes term OF
three years and nine months"
Let organized labor take to heart
what the Chicago Tribune says on
this point: "Mr. Hughes is no dem
agogue and no visionary. He is a
man of courage and conscience, and
if labor cannot confide its cause to
his rock-bottOm Americanism there is
something wrong with its Cause

No Longer Menace to Humans.
Anthrax as an animal disease has
been carefully studied of recent years,
but its occasional appearance among
human beings has never attracted any
attention until recently. Although it
is described in most medical text books
May physicians are not familiar with
its symptoms. This ignorance of the
disease is the chief source of danger.
With preventive measures and cures
that have been perfected within the
last few years there is no reason WHY

Rhinelander, Holmes and their as

two; their efforts were useless.
Hard words passed and more threats
were uttered; the meeting broke up in
disorder.
Seagrue and Capelle retired to an
adjoining room. Helen passed before
them down the hall. Capelle glanced
at her and looked toward Seagrue. His
face stretched into one Of his hollow
grins.

He was too irritated to be patient.
Toward evening he assayed to be Sc.

his advances.

down the hill to wait for the midnight

rarely disturbed her. This night a
much lighter but an unusual sound
woke her completely. She sat up a
moment, listening. 1t seemed close
someone was in the house. Turning
on light and dressing hastily, Helen
opened the hall door Of her room.
She had been careful not to make
the slightest noise in her movements.
Unfortunately the light behind her sill

foot of the broad flight of stairs

he muttered. Hoyde extinguished the
light. The two paused. listened. walked
into the hall and paused again. Then
they started noiselessly up the stairs.
Guarded as they had been. Helen
felt their presence. With fast.beating
heart she ran to her window. Out In
the night she could see the light of
a torch. 1t was Storms light, car
ried as he worked around his en-
gine. Catching up a small serving
bell she ran out on her balcony and
tying the bell to the telephone wire
that connected with the main line

The engineman, busy with his work,
presently heard the slight jingle, but
only to wonder for a moment what
1t could be. The two criminals had
entered Helen's room. The instant
she stepped in from the balcony they
caught and overpowered her-stifled
her screams. and in spite of her con.
tinuing struggles, rudely gagged her.
The bell again attracted Storms at

towards Helen's home he saw bright
light In one of the upper windows.
Then. of sudden. he saw more-sil.

alarmed the crew and ran swiftly up
