A PICTURE OF HUGHES.

The New York World, which once
was OutspOken IN its admiration for
Mr.. Hughes, now declares that the
people do not know where Hughes
stands, or what he stands for. This
Wilson organ had no such criticism
to make when Mr.. Hughes was gov
ernor. The World said on May II,
1910 "He dictated no nominations,
controlled no convention, trafficked in
no patronage, made no bargains with
officeholders. He has rewarded no
body for Supporting him and punished
nobody for opposing him. What in
fiuence he has welded over public
opinion has come through his appeals
to the voters themselves" That is
the estimate Of Mr.. Hughes given by
the World six years ago. 1t is q
pretty fair letter of recommendation
Could the World say as much for
President Wilson? Hardly, for the
president has done all Of the things
from which the World absOlVed

HUGHES FOR ARBITRATION.
He Would Be First to Accord to Labor
AII Rights Found Just After
Consideration.

In his Maine speeches Mr. Hughes
made it 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.
''Ihe measure to which have allud-
ed was not, properly speaking, an
eight-hOur measure. 1t was wage
measure. 1t was plain proposition
for a change in the wage scale. | do
not speak of the equity of that That
is matter to- be fairly considered I
want what is just and right with re-
spect to wages. | 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
fair and open mind and an examina-
ton of the facts.
This particular measure shows on
it's face that it was legislation in adj
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
ciety in favor of the roads which were
excepted from its provisions. If there
was Judgment Of society. why not ap-
of roads or roads less than 100 miles
in length? / say, away with such pre-
tense! 1t was surrender to force in
stead of 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

h'KlHLEY'S WAR COST LESS
EL00DSHED THAN WILSON'S PEACE
BY Theodore Roosevelt.

Under President Mckinley we
had a war with Spain. Under
President Wilson we are assured
that we have had peace" with
Mexico. These are the words.
Now for the deeds. During the
war with Spain fewer Americans
were killed by the Spaniards
than have been killed by Next
cans during the present peace
with Mexico. Let me repeat
this. A greater number of Amer
leans have been killed by
Mexicans during these years,
when we are officially Informed
that we have been at peace with
them, than were killed by the
Spaniards during our entire war
with Spain. Moreover when the
war with Spain was through, it
was through. But peace still con-
tinues to rage as furiOuSly as
ever in Mexico. Nor is this
all. The instant effect of the
: outcome of the war with Spain
was to put a stop to the dread
full butchery and starvation in
Cuba and the Philippines, and
the entry of both Cuba and the
Philippines on career of eight
cen years Of peace and pros
perity such as they had never
known before in all their check
cred history. But during these
three years Of Mr.. Wilson's
peace" the Mexicans them
selves have been butchered by
their own bandits steadily and
without intermission and Mexi-
can women and children have
died by thOusands-prObably by
scores Of thOuSandS-Of Starva-
ton, and of the diseases incident
to starvation. In other words,
Mr.. McKinley's war cost less
peace; and it reflected high hon
or on the American people;
whereas Mr.. Wilson's peace
has been one of shame and dis
honor for the American people,
and one of ruin and blOOdshed
for the Mexicans.

TO VOTE FOR HUGHES.
He Says Wilson Has Failed to Enforce
Pure Food Law

Il 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 a lull
in the activities of the Administration
of the law. A well-known beverage, de-
clared by the Supreme Court misbrand-
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.
MIR, Hughes in his activities on
the Supreme Court has stood like a
stone wall for the proper Administra-
ton of the Food Law. / believe his
election would see 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 bencll
and to appoint 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,"

NO ONE WAS AFRAID OF
HAITI.

Haiti did not behave as badly
to us as Mexico behaved; but

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 unqualitiedly condemned;
for such action was far more
needed in Mexico than in Hal
ii. But there was q difference
in, the two cases; and to Mr..
Wilson it was vital difference.
Haiti was weaker than Mexico.

Editorial Comment
Bryan butts, Wilson tuts.

Bryan butts, Wilson tuts.
Watchful waiting maketh wOeful
wanting.
Candidate Hughes doesn't talk like
a tut-tutter.
Hughes is hammering and the Demo
Gratis are yammering.
The Wilson Administration stands
for taxes, and more taxes.
The Hughes trait will be cold by
the time the Democrats strike it.
AS party leader, would it be fair
to refer to j. Ham Lewis as j. Pork"
Lewis?
Bryan says Mr.. Hughes talks aren't
judicial. No. The people can under
stand 'em perfectly.
Can the folks on the Democratic
band wagon continue to play by the
Presidents notes?
Hughes says the country can't be
saved by letting it drift. That's where
he and w. Wilson differ
Washington reports that new apol-
ogy has been sent to First Chief Car
rama. Looks like a habit
Mr. Bryan is mistaken when he says
Hughes is ''vitri0lic." The candidate
is merely applying the acid test.
A messenger of President Wilson
found out that Colorado women were
for the administration. No messenger
of course, can be blamed for making
good.
