what Would He Have Done,
[Philadelphia Ledger.

The parrot-llke insistence of the
newspaper defenders of President Wir-
sons foreign policy that Mr.. Hughes
should tell them what he would have
done and what he means to do isSoo
much like an appeal for guidance, a
cry for help IL extricating the ad-
ministration and the country from the
mess into which they have been drawn
by Democratic nIismanagement. It is
a not unnatural position, but they are
expecting too much of the opponents
of the administration to ask them to
defend as we'll ss attack! Their i'm
mediate and most urgent task is to ex-
pose the errors and ineptitudes Of the
President and his party; and to expect
Mr.. Hughes and the Republicans to
allow themselves to be diverted from
that duty is a trihe silly. They will
have enough to do after March I next
undoing Democrat blunders of diplo-
macy and Of domestic management
without being turned from their course
now to tell President Wilson what he
can do in the meantime to retrieve hia
position and to regain lost ground

THE PUBLIC THE "GoATp

IN Harrisburg the unions are COM
i planning because the trolley COM
pany refuses to arbitrate. In the
controversy now in progress between
the railroad unions and the companies
the railroads complain because the
unions will not arbitrate. But we
haven't heard any of them TALKING
very loudly about the rights of the
public which supports the railroads
the trolley lines and the unions as
well.

Stewardship and Publicity

From Editor ana PuplisherI
The New York Railways Company
in an effort to prevent the city-wide
strike of street railway employees, has
adopted the new plan of using dis
play advertisements in the news
papers in which to present the case
of the corporation to the public. Thus
the example OF the Bethlehem Steel
Company bears fruit. The Editor and
Publisher has applauded this policy
on the part of big corporations, not
merely because 1t is good thing for
the newspapers, but because 1t is a
good thing fo= the corporations and
for the public. 1t is the effective
method through which the managers
of great corporations may account to
the people for their trusteeship OF
grants and privileges placed in their
hands by the people themselves.

no exception and it would seem TO be a
proper time now to take proper ac-
ton to reduce the unnecessary noises
which affiict not only the sick and
nervous element of the population, but
destroy the rest of those whose toll
demands repose apd who deserve the
consideration of the municipal au-
thorities.
There is no excuse for the glare
and blare. The Offenders are confined
to a comparatively small number of
noise-making individuals who can at
tract public attention in no other way.

HUGHES, LABOR VIEWS

IHEMOCRATS who have been un-
- able TO find flaws in the character
or views of Charles Z. Hughes
have been limiting darkly at his labor
record" They have been unable to
find anything in his whole career that
has marked him as unfriendly either
to organized or unorganized labor, SO
they have confined themselves TO
innuepdo. This Notwithstanding that
Hughes as Governor of New York
never had q single dispute with labor,
while all of his important fights were
waged against certain doubtful prac-
tices of big business" In the Supreme
Court he passed upon labor cases i'm
partially and only in accord with the
provisions OF law. Nevertheless, these
seeds of doubt, so skillfully sown, had
begun TO take root. Here and there
a workingman was asking himself;
What about Hughes and labor?"
But Mr.. Hughes, whether he sensed
the insidious efforts of his enemies in
this direction or merely felt that he
should make himself clear concerning
his attitude toward both capital and
labor, has left nobody long in doubt.
Yesterday in his speech at Detroit
one of the real industrial centers of
the country-he said:
1t is an awful mistake to think
or the men through whose activity
production is possible as mere
beings. We are all working men in
this country. We are in different
spheres Of activity, but we ought
10 have sense of cooperation, so
that every man takes pride ip what
he is doing and in doing il TO the
best of his ability because he. is
working alongside OF every other
man for the good of the country.
The human factor is after all the
important factor. You may de-
velop your physical plants, your
physical instrumentalities. distri-
button and everything that goes to
make up the material side of pros
hopeless Without the human factor.
and in America, the land of free
men, the man who is at work for
is doing the right thing by him.
He is entitled TO be safe in his
work, TO have every preeaution
taken against every sort OF accI-
dent that can be prevented.
a man is put at work. How can
he refuse the job which stands be-
perfectly idle TO say IN our indus
trial conditions that he can take or
refuse the work, according TO his
idea of the safety appliances which
may be provided TO protect him.
You have got to protect him. No
man can work in any position
where his life. his limb or his
health are subject TO any unneces-
sary risk. That is good American
ism and that is good business.
That is where Mr.. Hughes stands
with relation TO labor. The working
man must feel that the Country is
doing the right thing by him" A
square deal for labor, skilled or un-
skilled, healthful living conditions,
safe surroundings, chance for pro-
motion and a, fair share of profits in
the form of wages.
1t sounds like the pronouncement
Of a social idealist. And so II is, but
1t is also the platform of the Republi-
can candidate for President.
