Valuable suggestions regarding the
curing OF pork. as published In the
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station Bulletin No. 1856, are Of par
ticular interest to hog raisers at this
time. In regard TO the curing Of
pork. the following recipes for the
home curing were given by farmers In
different sections OF the State and
include only those, that have been
used successfully for number Of
years:

He Would BE First to Accord to Labor
All Rights Found Just After
Consideration

In his Maine speeches Mr.. Hughes
made 1t plain that he was not attack
ing labor or the equity of the pro
posed increase of wages for the rail-
road men, He was simply contending
for the all important principle of arbi-
tration as the right means of settle
ment Of such questions. Speaking at
different places in Maine, Mr. Hughes
dwelt upon this question, saying:
II deeply deplore. in the name of
labor, in the name of justice, in the
name of American ideals, the surren-
der of the Executive and of Congress
to force. instead of permitting reason
to reign.
The measure to which have aIlud-
ed was not, properly speaking, an
eight-hour measure. 1t was a wage
measure 1t was a plain proposition
for a change in the wage scale. do
not speak of the equity of that. That
is matter to be fairly considered. 1
want what is just and right with re-
spect to wages. 1 am for the arbitra-
ton and the peaceful settlement of
these Industrial controversies. We
can settle everything in this country
If we approach those matters with a
fair and open mind and an examina-
ton of the facts.
This particular measure shows on
its face that it was legislation in ad-
vance of the investigation. instead
of investigation in advance of legisla-
ton. 1t is said that there was in it's
favor the judgment of society. The
Judgment of society in this country
has never been passed in favor of leg
islation without knowledge of the equi-
ty and regardless of the facts of the
case There was no Judgment of so
eiety in favor of the roads which were
excepted from its provisions. If there
was judgment of society, why not APP
ply the rule to electric or other kinds
of roads or roads less than 100 miles
in length? 1 say, away with such pre-
tense! 1t was surrender to force in
stead of a clear, candid, faithful
framed examination of the facts, and
then action in accordance with Ameri-
can principles.
"Autocracy represents force; tyran-
ny represents force. Democracy rep
resents the rule of the common judg-
ment after discussion, after an oppor-
tunity to know the facts"

DR.. HARVEY w. WILEY
TO VOTE FOR HUGHES.
He Says Wilson Has Failed to Enforce
Pure Food Law.

81 favor the election of Mr.. Hughes
to the Presidency for entirely differ
ent reasons than those held by most
of his supporters. 1t is not because
of the Mexican policy nor the foreign
policy of the Administration nor by
reason of its domestic policies. 1t is
because of the apparent Indifference
of the Administration of President
Wilson to the cause of pure food and
drugs Practically all of the abuses
which were injected into the Pure
Food Law by the preceding Admins
trations are still in force. Benzoate
of soda Is still regnant. The fumes
of burning sulphur are marching along
undisturbed. There is evidently lull
in the activities of the Administration
of the law. A well-known beverage, de-
clared by the Supreme Court mfsbrand-
ed and amenable to the Food Law has
not been molested. No attempt has been
made to enforce the law in regard to
the bleaching of flour. The repeal of
the mixed flour law, that splendid
safeguard to the purity of our bread
has been tacitly approved by the
Treasury Department.
Mr.. Hughes in his activities on
the Supreme Court has stood like a
stone wall for the proper Administra-
ton of the Food Law. 1 believe his
election would see a radical change
in the attitude of the government
towards pure food and pure drugs. so
vital to the welfare of our people
For this reason, sincerely hope that
Mr. Hughes may be chosen as our
next President
Il should expect Mr.. Hughes as
President to have the same attitude
toward the pure food and drug law
that he had as judge on the bench
and to appoint a secretary of agri-
culture with subordinate officers who
would be enthusiastic and earnest in
the enforcement of the pure food law
for the benefit of the physical, men
tai and moral welfare of our people"

A CONTEST OF CHARACTER,
NOT OF WEASEL WORDS
CARDINAL QUESTION IN THIS
CAMPAIGN is WHETHER THE
PEOPLE WANT IN THE WHITE
HOUSE A PHRASE-MAkER,
OR A MAN WHO BACKS
WORDS WITH DEEDS.

Woodrow Wilson excels in the ar
tistry of politics beyond the capacity
of Charles Evans Hughes to compete.
Were the current campaign a game of
professional politics instead of con-
test of character between two candi-
dates for the highest Office in the gift
of the people, Mr.. Wilson would walk
away with the prize next November.
All his life he has made a study of
form-first of literary form-and lat
terly of political form. In the first
period he mastered a style peculiarly
his own, and peculiarly characteristic.
The study of words and their multi
plicity of meaning always fascinates
him, so much that a Princeton class
mate recently said of him: Tommy
has lived with words so long he thinks
they are real things" Thence comes
his collection of what Theodore Roose-
velt's Maine Guide calls weasel
words" That iS-''he can take a
word and weasel it around and suck
the meaning out of it like weasel
sucks an egg, until it don't mean any
thing at all, no matter what it
sounds like it means" Thence came
also the series of catch phrases, so
fascinating in sound, so false in Sug
gestion; so easy to read, so hard to I'M
derstand. So it is that he is able to
be on all sides of every public ques-
ton, while covering his circuitous
course with flow of words that roll
as easily from his pen as a brook
through the meadow. 1t is his artful-
ness in the use of words that enables
him to pose as IAN amateur in poll
tics" while playing the game with the
skill of a professional. Whatever his
ineptitude in other respects, he is cas-
lily first among presidents in the art
istry of politics, and he would win
next November, were that the test.
Compare the Witness of Mr.. Wilson
with the straightforwardness of Mr..
Hughes. Compare the smooth style of
the one with the rugged diction of the
other. The one is as complex in the
use of words as the other is simple.
1t is a case of sonorousness versus
strength. Mr.. Hughes is depending
upon the strategy of straightforward
ness and the strength of sincerity;
upon the force of facts, instead of up
on the fiction of a phrase, to win his
case before the jury of the nation.
His appeal is to the head and not the
ear of the people; to their intelli-
gence and not to their emotion; to
their heroic side and not to their hys-
terical side 1t is an appeal to the
courage of the country and not to it's
cowardice- Mr.. Hughes could not, if
he would, perform in a year the po-
litical tricks that Mr.. Wilson can do
in day. The question today is
whether the people want in the White
House for the next four years q
or a history-maker; a
man of many sayings, or a man who
backs his words with deeds. There
is a fundamental difference between
the two candidates, which marks the
line of cleavage in this extraordinary

NO ONE WAS AFRAID OF
HAITI.

Haiti did not behave as badly
to us as Mexico behaved; but
Mr.. Wilson interviewed, fought
the Haitiens, shedding their
blood and the blood of our
troops, took possession and now :

eminent. His course of action
in Haiti can be defended only
if his course of action in Next
co is unqualifiedly condemned,
for such action was far more
needed in Mexico than in Hal
ii. But there was a difference
in the two cases; and to Mr..
Wilson it was a vital difference.
