OPENLY FIGHTING THE
FARMER

0N associated press report
II from Brunswick, Maine,
under date of Sept. 9 said
that in speech before a large
audience in the town hall at
that place Justice Hughes at
tackled the administration ship
ping bill, saying it would mean
disaster for the shipping in
terests of Maine.
The statement by the repub-
lican candidate is in harmony
with the shipping plank in the
republican platform. That
plank denounces the admins
tration merchant marine bill
and urges the ship subsidy
plan instead. The platform is
a play to the ship owners who
are already making fabulous
profits for the transportation
Of American products across
the ocean. 1t completely ig-
DOres the needs of the prOduc-
er who desires lower freight
rates on the sea because the
extorti0nate rates now prevail
ing interfere with the prOduc-
'er's profits.
The Hughes view is that the
administration is wrong in try
ing to put a regulatory hand
on the operations of the inter
national ship combine. He
considers that President Viii.
son is wrong in working tC
protect the producer and the
business man of the nation
The Hughes view plainly il
that the governments first con
sideration should be for the
ship owners, in which he in
cludes ''the shipping interest
Of Maine" He takes this view
even though it is fact tina
there are ships now operating
in peaceful waters and eanini
their value at one trip. H
takes this view despite the fac
that for two years past tn
ship men have been chargin
as much as wheat is worth t
carry it from this country t
Liverpool-thus making large
profits from the wheat bushes
than do the farmers who rails
the grain.

THE AMERICAN-MEXICAN
COMMISSION

oregon TeSlIH0HI anu
other regiments from the bor-
der the American Mexican
commission has taken up the
problem of working out a sat
isfactory adjustment of affairs
in the southern republic. 1t is
an effort to solve a perplexing
question by sane methods,
rather than by conquest and
bloodshed.
Speaking of the commission
end the work before it the New
York World says:
/ The American Mexican joint COM
mission approaches Its task in a
! friendly and confident spirit 1t is an
exceptional body of men summoned
into conference on matters of first i'm
portance TO both countries. The
three American members are all
known internationally for their high
personal attainments and public ser
vices: the three Mexfcans are admir-
ably fitted for their duties. 1t is a
commission that should be productive
cf great results.
The United States earnestly desires
not only the adjustment Of the dif-
ferences that have arisen between the
two countries but the speedy rehabil-
nation Of Mexico. Aside from any
benevolent intentions that it may har-
Dor toward its stricken neighbor self
interest alone must prompt it to con-
tribute by every means in its power
% the establishment Of conditions be-
yond the Rio Grande that shall in
sure stable government and peaceful
progress
Certain elements in this country in
a spirit OF jingolsm and greed, have
sought TO promote Intervention in
Mexico. They have failed in their
purpose, and the meeting Of the Am
erican- Mexican joint commission at
New London makes doubly certain
| their failure out Of its deliberations
we may hopefully expect not merely
settlement Of difficulties between
/ the United States and Mexico but an
| understanding as to measures that
I will put Mexico upon its feet politi-
caliy, financially and economically.
If the task of the commission
is successful it will not only
produce a result agreeable in
the extreme to the United
States but will prove the sal
walton of Mexico-a land
where there has been too much
of rule by bullets and not
enough rule by brains.
