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
huence 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. II Is q
pretty fair letter of recommendation.
Could the World say as much Tor
President Wilson? Hardly. for the
president has done all of the things
from which the World absolved
Hughes.-kansas City Journal.
The Delta independent., 1916-09-29

The President himself has tried to
appropriate for his own advantage
the sentiment of America first" The
Democrats have tried to make his sup.
port an act of piety, by adopting
'"Thank God for Wilson," as slogan.
Mr.. Hughes, with rare courage. frank.
ness and penetration. Is exposing the
fiimsy foundation for the claims of
Wilsonian infallibility. He Is laying
bare record of extravagance, parti.
sanship. sectionalism. incompetence,
wrongheadedness, vaccillation and In.
sincerity which destroys the attempt
to make joss out OF the President.
The Democrats must come out of their
ecstatic. trance and defend their stew.

M'kIMLErs WAR COST LESS
Bl00DSRtD Tran WILSON'S PEACE
By Theodore Roosevelt.


Under President Mckinley we
had war with SPIN. Uuder
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 Mexi-
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. ii
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 Il stop to the dread
full butchery and starvation in
Cuba and the Philippines. and
the entry of both Cuba and the
Philippines on IA career of eight
cen years of peace and pros
perity such as they had never
known before i'll 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-proba 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 IL 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.

Hughes Sympathetic With De-
mands of Labor Which Are
Proved to Be Just.

al am sympathetic with every
demand to improve the condi-
tions of labor, to secure reason
able compensation for labor.
as' in sympathy with every ef-
fort to better human conditions,
and particularly the condition Of
those who toll in Industrial pur-
suits, in railroad pursuits, in all
these great activities that are
essential to our prosperity. But
when you have proposition to
change the scale of wage you
have a vital proposition which
requires examination. You must
at least know whether the de-
mand is just one.
Labor, Of course, should not
desire anything but what is Just.
do not believe labor intends to
ask for anything but what is
just. What is just can be ex-
amined and will survive inves-
tigetion. Nothing is lost by hav-
ing the process of reason applied
if only that which is just is
required."-Mr. Hughes in His
