WILSON AND HUGHES AS LEADERS

Mr.. Hughes wa governor OF New York from January l. 1907, until
October {, 1916, a period OF three years, nine months and six days.
MIR. Wilson has been president of the United States since March 4,
1915, a period OF three years, four months and seventeen days.
There arr few mores striking contrasts in politics than the record OF
accomplishment made by Mr.. Wilson as president, and by Mr.. Hughes
as governor.
When Mr. Hughes abandoned the fight for popular government in
this state, resigned his office and accepted a n appointment tic the bench
OF the United States Supreme court, he had brought about the enact
ment Of only II important measure-the Public Service COMMISSION
act. Aside from the Race Track law, that was his achievement and
this va largely offset by a complete decentralization OF state finances
which still continues.
Most of Mr.. Hughes energies as governor we're expended in fac
their w purposes but who had no intention OF allowing him o dictate
the policies OF the party. In spite of his excellent motives and splendid
efforts. Mr. Hughes could OF control the Republican organizations; he
could o influence the Legislature, and he a compelled in the n to
let other men win the battle that he had 81 resoutely begun.
The Republican party in the nation is controlled today by the 1den-
tical interests that controlled it when Mr.. Hughes was governor. Many
OF the bosses are the same bosses. The Wall Street partnership, the
trust partnership, the special privilege partnership re all in full force
10Y as they were then. The National Republican organization is just
as progressive as William Barnes and his New York cohorts were fur
ing the Hughes administration and just as eager for reform. Mr..
Hughes as president would have to deal with the same kind of political
and corporation influences that he had to deal with as governor. He
failed to subdue them when he a governor. What reason is there
for believing that he could subdue them as president?
Mr.. Wilson has proved that he an lead his party, and he has OBJ
tanned, from it the most extraordinary measure OF progressive legislation
that any administration has ever Day by day he is making the
record more remarkable and more brilliant Does anybody believe that
Mr.. Hughes could ever wiring from a Republican congress what Mr.,
Wilson has wrnng from a Democratic congress?
Whatever program OF advanced legislation Mr.. Hughes may put
forth in his speech OF acceptance, the vital fact remains that Nh. Wilson
has demonstrated that he a lead his party and Mr.. Hughes has dem
on strated that he cannot lead his party Does the country a four
years more Of constructive government, or four years OF factonal fight
ing between a Republican president and the Republican bosses?-New
York World.

JUST A BIG BLUFF

Addressed as Dear Fellow Member" the Appeal has received a let
ter from the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, signed by Anne
Martin, Legislative chairman, in which we are requested to telegraph or
write Governor Charles L. Hughes at his headquarters, Hotel Astor,
New York City, and ask him O endorse publicly the national women
suffrage amendment and to reafirm this position in his speech OF ac-
ceptance Securing his support, the letter states, will strengthen him
among the 100000 women voters OF the twelve suffrage states and will
spur the Democrats in the present congress to act.
Now, Anne, to be candid with you, We don't propose doing any
thing you request in your letter. First, because as a Democrat what
we might say % Mr.. Hughes would have n effect, and second, we take
laborers have adopted to bring about universal suffrage; W e do mot D-
hcve that there is any sincerity behind your movement and, further, it
is u candid belief that your aggregation is playing tail whether Know
ingly or not, 0 the Republican kite. If not, why that 100000 gilt
which you 0 grandioquently boast about. 1t wasn't given for nothing.
In these conclusions regarding you and your party the Appeal does
not stand alone. but is supported by nearly every woman voter IN Ne
vada, whether Democrat or Republican. They long ago decided that
you and your so-caned Womans party we're endeavorng 20 run a great
big bluff And it will fail in every m OF the twelve suffrage staes just
IS it did in Colorado two years ago, when your opposition sweled the
majority by several thousand Of Senator Charley Thomas.

NAVY YARD VACATIONS

The employees of the Washington navy yard lave reasont to be thank
full to Senator Pittman of Nevada, says the Washington Post, for his
skilnul and successful fight to obtain for them and the workmen of all
vacation with pay.
Other civil employees of the government have been receiving thirty
days leave with pay and there was every reason why the mechanics ana
other laboring lei in the government plants and factories should re-
ceive equally fair treatment
1t is idle for the government Or its representatives to talk about
social justice to worknen in private plants uness the federal authorities
are wiling to set a example.
Workmen in private plants receive much higher wages than those in
the government yards and factories. This has beer shown repeatedly by
the arguments the government has had to make to keep its employees
from responding to the greater financial inducements OF private MUM
ton makers.
Labor has its false and its real friends Senator Fittman, by vel
coming the technical and strategic efforts o block his amendment for
the benefit of the workers in the government yards and plants, has
shown that he is on of the true friends OF labor. Although there is
no navy yard i'll his W state, and II 0 arsenal he has shown that he be
leves in Uniform and square treatment to labor, whether employed pi

Last Case OF q Once Rather Common
Custom In England.
1t was long popular belief among
the ignorant in England that If man
sold his wife at public auction such
a sale had all the legality of regu-
lar divorce. The latest case of the
kind on record occurred in 1882.
John Thompson, a farmer, had been
married for three years. and he and
his wife agreed to separate. Thomp-
son brought his wife into the town of
Carlisle, and by the bellman announc-
ed he was about to sell her.
At midday Thompson placed his
wife on large oak chair with rope
or halter of straw about her neck. He
then made this announcement: Gen

The Great Privilege Of illness.

Illness is the great privilege of life.
Love only is comparable to it. They
are twin privileges. Both deny the
common value of things: both assert
that mans destiny is bound up with
transcendental powers. or this theirs
is the only testimony we have, for the
body's evidence is denial-a mega
tive assertion that the sparkle of con-
seriousness is random striking of sub
stance on substance, like steel on flint.
Illness pares and lops off the outer
parts of life and leaves us with the
essence of it.-Henry Dwight Sedg
wick In Atlantic.
