Could You Trust En-?

Senator Root, in his great speech in
New York civ, after declaring there
was a general agreement that after the
war America will be confronted by
tariff barriers in every now belliSerent
country, said:
.-Nhat are we going to do then? We
must do something. We must protect
ourselves or we shall become the
dumping ground of the world and our
workmen will beg in the streets. Even
the Democrats have seen that some
thing must be done, for they have pro-
vided a tariff board to ascertain and
report the true facts to which tariff
law is to be applied. Now we all un-
derstand that if the country wants a
tariff for revenue only they may put
the making of it in the hands of the
Democratic party. But can any sane
man contemplate that party making a
protective tariff? In the first place,
they can't do it honestly. They don't
be !ieve in it. They We're born and
lred in a different faith"

Wilson and Hughes.

In an appeal to young voters who
called on him at his summer home.
President Wilson uttered the following
casuistry:
IF they are going to change our
foreign policy. in what direction are
they going to change 1t? There is
only one choice as against peace. and
that is war;" Mr.. Wilson has on occa-
sion given evidence of too much in
telligence to permit anyone to believe
his statement sincere. The pretended
logic Of his remark cannot but be re-
garded as further manifestation of
that intellectual dishonesty" with
which ex-President Cleveland charged
him.
To Mr.. Wilson's sophistry Gov.
Hughes has replied, and his words are
worthy the thoughtful consideration Of
every voter. Said Mr.. Hughes: THE
alternative of a weak and .vacillating
policy is not war: it is firm insis-
tence upon firm rights in world
where all nations desire our friend
ship, and we desire the friendship Of
all, and where only the most mex
cusable blunder could drag us into
strife

Mr.. Hughes Ideal

Mr.. Hughes has made his position so
plain that he who runs may read He
stands not for war but for honora BILE
peace. There is peace with honor and
there is peace with infamy. Mr. Hughes
stands for the former. There is the
man who avoids a fight by clustering
and Dragging and then running away
when his words are resented, and there
is the man who avoids fight by re-
framing from clustering and Dragging,
and by conducting himself with such
dignity and evidence Of quiet and un-
assuming force that he compels respect
for himself and his rights Mr. Hughes
is Of the latter type. In his speech of
acceptance. Mr.. Hughes said 1T is a
great mistake to say that resoluteness
In protecting American rights would
have led to war. Rather in that course
lay the best assurance of peace Weak
ness and indecision in the maintenance
OF known rights are always sources Of
grave danger; they forfeit respect and
invite serious wrongs. which in turn
create an uncomfortable popular re-
sentiment. That is not the path of ma
tional security. Not only have we a
bost Of resources short of war to en-
force our just demands. but we shall
never promote our peace by being
stronger in words than in deeds" Mr..
Hughes might have added that one of
the surest methods of inviting war was
for the President publicly to notify a
great and powerful belligerent that it
would be held to Strict accountable
itys and then privately to send word
to its Ambassador that the Presidents
words were mot to be taken too seri-
ously."
