HUGHES UNMASKS.

cog and perfect canuoF hos
come to the front. Mr.. Hughes
has revealed his hand at last.
In a recent speech he made this
astounding statement:
1.-The whole democratic legisla-
tive accomplishment must be
wiped off the books for the good
of the country"
Pause for a moment and con-
slider what that means. Ii IL
means anything at all it means
that Charles E. Hughes aligns
himself definitely on the side OF
the reactionari9s and standpat-
ters. It means that he repudi-
ates progress and social justice.
1t means back to the halcyon days
of Mark Hannaism, with the,
trusts and the powerful money
interests of the country running
the government to suit them
selves. 1t means a definite and
absolute abandonment of all the
principles of the progressive par
ty, most of which have been en-
acted into law during the admin
istration of President Wilson. 1t
means that Charles E. Hughes
stands for plutocracy as against
the people.
If the whole democratic legis-
lative achievement must be wiped
off the statute books, as Mr..
Hughes declares, tariff reform as
carried out by the Underwood
bill must be abandoned and new
measure written that, presumably
will be an even greater outrage
upon the people than the Payne
Aldrich iniquity that wrecked the
Taft administration.
The income tax laws will have
to be repealed and the burden
which the democratic party lifted
from the shoulders of the peoples
put back on those least able to
pay.
The Federal Reserve Banking
act will have to go, and the old
era of periodical panics be re-
established in order that Wall
street may have fat pickings.
The Child Labor and Work
mems Compensation laws must be
repealed, of course. 1t is the
"whole" democratic Legislative
accomplishment that Mr.. Hughes
says must go.
The Rural Credits measure
must die an early death and the
helping hand which the govern
ment is extending to the farmers
of the country, enabling them to
be put on the same credit footing
as other business men, must be
withdrawn.
The Merchant Marine bill, the
NOn-Partisan Tariff Commission,
and the score of other great con-
structive and beneficial measures
enacted within the last three
years, including of course the
Eight-Hour day bill, are marked
for death if Mr.. Hughes is elected
president. He says so himself In
one sweeping indictment, and we
assume that he means what he
says. If he doesn't mean what
he says in this instance, he is not
to be trusted in anything that he
does say, and is unworthy of the
Office to which he aspires because
he is trying to obtain it by mean
ingless phrases and false pre-
lenses.
We are glad to have Mr.. Hughes
definitely on record at last. He
is against "the whole democratic
legislative accomplishment"
which means that he is against
progress, justice and the public
welfare. If elected, his whole
term of office will be devoted to
undoing what has been accom-
plished for the people by the Will
son administration. If the peO-
pie of the United States want to
step back instead of going for
ward they know how to accom-
plish that result. Mr.. Hughes

ed consideration for David B. Hill,
then a United States senator. The
democratic convention was told that
he could carry the state, and quite as
earnestly told that Mr.. Cleveland
could not. Notwithstanding. Mr..
Cleveland was nominated, and did
carry the state.
1t has, however. always been con-
tended by those who supported Mr..
Hill for the nomination that their
statement to the convention was justi-
fed by the situation at the time 1t
was made; that Mr.. Cleveland owed
his election not to any power he
possessed in the state. but to the
weakness of the republicans growing
out of the Homestead riots. Organ
lied labor became offended at the re-
publicans-though Gen. Harrison's
friends could not see why-and threw
its support largely to the democratic
candidate.
The problem for the republicans
this time so far as New York is con-
cerncd is to put up man strong
enough to beat the man already IN
Dictated as the democratic nominee.
What Mr.. Wilson's strength in the
state may be as against united OPP
position is for the future to deter

which his assistants will be taken IN
case of success. and as well in Its
congressional personnel, the better
will be its chances.
If the country in November decides
upon a change, those who take charge
will have their hands full and should
know the ropes. Under the present
administration all the most impor-
tant local issues have been handled.
A new tariff law. new currency law
and additions to antitrust laws are
now on the books: and at this seS-
sion of Congress and next other I'M
portant issues will be handled. SO
that verdict OF the people against
the democracy. and mandate to set
things right. will impose on the re-
pubIicans work of which only men of
high caliber are capable.

Making American Soldiers.

Testimony given before the House
military committee yesterday by Adlt'
Gen. Mccain should be very serious
Nv studied in any consideration OF the
national defense problem. Cen. NC
Cain says that it takes two years to
produce a good American soldier. one
of the two years being necessary to
bring him to the stage OF efficiency
in drill and rife handling. Even Ii
drill and rifle shooting make soldier
that year is long period III an
emergency. But drill and rife practice
arc not all the essentials Of military
training. The man in the ranks must
know how to obey. which is not com
prised in mere drill, he must know how
to camp. how to cat and take care OF
himself generally. The average Amer
lean has so much done for him that
he is more or less helpless when it
comes to the initiative of sclf-provi-
sion. He is safeguarded by laws and
regulations which he does not i'm
plicitly obey. He is at once indie
pendent and dependent. and it takes
many months to bring him to the
state in which he is thoroughly COM
petent to do the work of war
If Gen. McCain's estimate is too
high, if one year is really enough to
make a good soldier, the case still
stands in grave terms for American
chances of effective defense on land
against we'll organized foe. In the
year that it would take to drill an
American army of, say, a million
men, things would be happening. If
Our navy did not keep the enemy
outside of coast range there would
be an invasion. notwithstanding our
scacoast defenses, which would find
US totally unprepared. If such a
calamity is TO befall the United
States, the navy proving made
quate to hold off the assailant, a
trained reserve of at least million
men is necessary to permit effective
mobilization speedily at several points
on the menaccd seaboard. Ten mil
lion, men working in camps at the job
OF learning how to obey orders, and
how to shoot. and how to drill and
how to take care of themselves in the
field, would be OF no avail in such a
crisis. while 100000 we'll trained men
rightly placed at the proper moment
would, perhaps. save the country from
irrctrievable disaster.

Won Papen's Papers.

Assuming that tie papers present
ed to the American embassy at Lon
don are correct copies OF documents
taken from the baggage of Capt. Won
Papen. that officer was surprisingly
foolish when he packed his effects
here to so to Berlin under the sale
conduct issued by TIE British gov
crnment. Evidently he thought that
that permission to travel un1nolcsted
through British waters covered all
OF his effects. while the government at
London, it seems. had no such thought
and promptly restricted the safe con-
duct to the person of the dismissed
attachc alone. The seizure OF papers
was justified by the British govern
ment on the theory that safe con-
duct might be misused for the maintc-
nance OF a system of communication
between German representatives here
aud their home Office. At all events.
Won Papcn clearly overlooked some
thing when he failed to ascertain be-
fore sailing whether the safe conduct
covered papers or his person alone.
The documents taken from him as
described in tue dispatches would
seem to justify fully the action OF
this government in demanding his re-
call. , They contribute a most inter
estiuc and perhaps Important link III

malevclcnt activities Of munitions
plottcrs in this country. operating III
violation of American neutrality. rs
to Won Papcn himself the case is viz
tually closed, but careful study of
the documents seized at Falmouth Is
desirable to ascertain whether others
were involved in the plans for the chi
barrassmcnt OF American manufao-
turcrs ard the Gripping of facilities
for the making and shipment Of goods
to the allied governments.

New York at Chicago.

II unIn5truoted at the republican ma
fional conyontion-such is the PROMO
sItioH-Ncw York will be most inter
oStins- She wants the nomination. Five
OF her sons are figuring in the general
calculations. Root, Whitman, Hughes
and Wadsworth are on the tongues of
straight republicans, while Roosevelt
is the hope of those men who have
returned from the bull moose excur-
sion and are marching once more
with old comrades.
These men are all we'll known
throughout the country, and each has
shown strength in contests at home.
Whitman is now governor by a strik-
ingiy large vote. Roosevelt and
Hughes have held the Office, each
winning over an opposition we'll led.
Root has never carried the state in
his own name. but has several times
been most influential when the for
tunes OF others were at stake. In
November. 1914. Wadsworth won over
Gerard i'll the race for the Senate by
an impressive majority.
Always in presidential years the
question is asked respecting presi-
Dental aspirants, whether repub-
hcan or democrat, Can he carry New

electoral votes is large. Contributions

skillful in the coutry When work

tional nominee they do their very
best. Hence the attention paid the
state at national conventions.

Republican Leaders.

The announcement of Mr.. Knox for
the Senate suggests the fact that the
republican party at present is rich
in leaders. Some are in office and
seem assured of remaining, while
others out of Office will be available
for important appointments in case
of the return of their party to power.
Mr.. Borah, Mr.. Weeks, Mr.. Cum
Minis and Mr.. Sherman arc among the
strong men in the Senate, so strong
that they are among those under
consideration Tor the Chicago nomi-
nation. All, in point of ability, are
associablc with the presidency. If
neither is promoted to that Office, the
country will continue to enjoy the
services of all four where they now
are.
Gov. Whitman is in Office, and
should he fail at Chicago will seek,
and probably secure. denomination
and election to second term.
Mr.. Root. Mr.. Burton and Mr.. Fair
DduhS dIC Jul VI OulSC. AL arc 0lS-
tinguished figures in politics. and
each has a following very DESTROYS
of seeing him in the White House.
But all three appear in calculations
other than those relating to the
presidency. Where could a better
man be found for the State Depart
ment than Mr.. Root, or for the
Treasury Department than Mr.. Bur-
ton? As for Mr.. Fairbanks, he would
fit any cabinet post, or any frst-class
post in the diplomatic service.
The value of all this is great, and
should help the republicans IN their
campaign. The nominee Of the Chi
cago convention will, of course, carry
the banner, but the appeal will not be
for him alone. We do business
through parties; and the voters in
November will choose between the
democratic party and the republican
party. The stronger, therefore, the
republican party appears in the equa-
don, not ss respects alone its stand

Forgetful Bill.

Bill Blobbins was forgetful-that's
what everybody said.
He couldn't get the names an dates
to linger in his head.
His wife would tell him what to buy
in most explicit style,
But all that Bill brought home was an
apologize smile.
The things that Bill forgot provoked
lot O chaff and chat.
Sometimes he would forget to wear
his necktie or his hat.
And friends would often speak of
his misfortune with a jest,
But Bill, he didn't mind it, but forgot
it with the rest.
We used to say forgetfulness would
surely ruin Bill,
And yet he kept a-smilin' an
.a-workin' with will.
For Bill forgot his sorrows, his re-
sentiments and his pains,
And even ceased to worry bout his
losses and his gains.
The injuries he'd suffered or imagined
that he had,
He wouldn't think of long enough to
put him to the bad.
And as see old Bill a-takin' hope
an heart anew
! sort O. wish that / could learn to
I. be forgetful, too.

Anti.Wilson Democrats.

Democrats who disapprove OF Mr.
Wilson are OF course within Their
rights in advising against his re-
nomination. But if they are to i'm
press the country they must state
their case with frankness. They vii
get nowhere by putting forward the
onc-tcrm plank OF the Baltimore plat
form as reason.
That platform. as has been repeat
eddy shown in the past two years and
4 half. was nothing more than "a
spread of molasscs' 1t caught votes,
and that ended it. 1t was not re-
deemed in the revision OF the tariff
for the high cost of living was not
lowered by the Underwood tariff. 1t
was not redeemed in the approprIa-
tons of the Sixty-third Congress, for
they were higher than ever before
known. 1t was positively violated in
the matter OF the Panama canal tolls.
Now in all those things the demo-
Gratis at present fighting Mr.. Wilson,
openly or oovertly. participated. What,
then. is their right to appear as the
protectors of a deliverance which
they themselves have shown no re-
spect for?
Then again Some of these men
supported Mr.. Cleveland in all three
OF his presidential campaigns. when
he was under an express pledge to
one term in the White Hous.. Mr..
Wilson is personally under no pledge
at all in the matter. His views are
his own. and they are not in agree
ment with those who think he is
barred.
There are democrats-some of them
prominent-who have not at any time
been sympathetic toward Mr.. Wilson
as President. They have differed with
him as respects both foreign and do
mestic affairs. They are pessimistic
as to the party's outlook. They fear
: that under a renewal at St. Louis of
Mr.. Wilson's leadership the party will
60 to defeat in November.
But they do not guarantee success
under any other leadership. They
talk of Mr.. Clark, but with full knowl-
edge of his attitude toward the nomi-
nation. They will understand how
impossible Mr.. Bryan's nomination
would be even if Mr.. Wilson were to
forbid the use of his own name at St.
Louis.
II Mr.. Wilson he's failed the demo-
cratic party has failed. So far as this
years campaign is concerned. he is
the party. He has impressed .himse elf
on every piece OF important legisla-
ton enacted since he took Office; and
all foreign policies have been his. How
would it be possible. therefore, for his
party to turn him down at St. Louis
without in effect surrendering its
whole case, and making republican
success at the polls not only inevi-
table but overwhelming?
