Heaviness of rails which again be-

however, the scarcity of representative

WHAT WOULD HE DO so wELLs

Mr.. Hughes speech of acceptance
was reassuring about his ideals, but
not as to his policies.
When he looked forward into the
future he fell into pious words and
utter vagueness. Though he devoted
thirty minutes of his speech to Mexi-
co. no one knows today what his Mexi-
can policy would be- 1t would be firm
and friendly, he said, but we are none
the wiser. He devoted about ten min
utessto the European war, said our iso-
lation was ended, and never indicated
even in the barest outline the nature
of the foreign policy which is to sup
plant isolation He spoke Of the econ
omic struggle after the war, and the
only specific item he offered was a
good old-fashioned protective tariff
The real economic problem which
peace will bring, the problem of a
world divided into economic alliances,
the most portentous problem of our
own and the worlds future, he, the
man who would have to deal with it,
never even mentioned.
Great is efficiency, ana rlrmness is a
necessary virtue. but others have been
both efficient and firm-yet they have
not necessarily been wise. A states
man asking us to place him the great
trust Of the presidency must do more
than tell us he would do we'll whatever
he did. He must give some hint at
least of what he would do so well.-
