When Mr.. Hughes criticises the rec
ord of the Administration the spokes-
men Of Mr.. Wilson cry: "What would
you have done?" They forget that 1t
is Mr.. Wilson and not Mr.. Hughes
who is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
sfr. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt through
out the campaign and that Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
spectlve records, instead OF crying
what would you have donef" They
forget these things or they refuse to
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record of the Admins
tration and induce the people to fol-
low them down some by-path OF rhe-
torical hypothesis, all in the effort to
change the subject.
by their fruits ye shall know
them" When Mr.. Hughes was Gov
ernor OF New York he did not pay
political debts by filling the public
Offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
ompaign and repudlate them after
he entesed Office. AS Governor, he
did not resort to brave and beautiful
words AS a substitute for firm and con-
sistent deeds. He was careful in his
use of words but he backed his words
with deeds He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not q
rhetorician, he was not a flatterer, he
was not "too proud TO fight" for labor
or for capital for the strong or the
weak. when the right was on their
side.
Mr. Wilson'S Spokesman seek to di-
vert attention from the attacks Mr..
Hughes is making upon the record OF
the Administration by asking him:
"Whnt would you dor" they are I'M
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
are recalling TO the memory OF the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms as Governor Of New
York. Ii was then that he first said
public Office shall not be private
snap under my administration" and
made performance square with prom
Use. There is this about Mr.. Hughes
that makes him so different from Mr..
Wilson: Hughes means what he
says" So 1t is that the campaign is
really contest of character between
two men, with sincerity as the differ
entiatng and deciding factor.

Your tailor may fit you

Great Britain is very much alive to
the Importance of establishing pro-
tcctive tariff policy. For several
years past she has felt severely the eff.
fccts of German competition in her
home market and this has curtailed
her activities abroad. In the debate
on the next tariff bill, which will be
reported by Republican congress- the
Democrats will not be able to point to
that classic example of free trade
Great Britain, to bolster up their ar
gumcnts. After the war there will
not be a country of any Importance
under the sun which does not have IA
protective tariff law of some kind or
other. The United States is a country
of considerable Importance so the Dem
ocratic party might as well resign it.
self to the inevitable and resume its
old role of disappearing the next Re
publican tariff law.

PROPOSED TARIFF COMMISSION

American sentiment is overwhelming
" for a tariff commission, but when n
Democratic congress, pledged to the
doctrine that any protective tariff is n
violation of the constitution of the
United States, seeks to provide for one
to be named by a president committed
to the same doctrine, we have a right
to regard the move with suspicion
Democrats have always opposed such a
commission. They even withheld fnan-
cial support from the Taft tariff board,
charged with gathering information to
guide the president in enforcing the
maximum and minimum provisions of
the Payne tariff. Democratic leaders
hooted the notion that congress did not
have information enough to deal intel
ligently with the tariff. "IlaVen t we
been debating the tariff twenty
years?" asked Mr.. Clark.
What are the purposes of the Demo-
Gratis? A tentative draft of the Demo
cratic platform contained clause
about the findings of the proposed
commission being used in drafting leg
islation that "would keep the tariff
rates on Il fairly competitive basis III
times of surplus production abroad. -
This does not appear in the platform,
as adopted. The proposed commission,
under it, is "to make impartial and
thorough study of every economic fact
that may throw light either upon our
past or upon our future fiscal policy
with regard to the imposition of taxes
on imports or with regard to the
changed and changing conditions un-
der which our trade is carried on. -
Aside from historical research and the
vague investigation of conditions, -
the aim is to study our fiscal policy. -
Since, elsewhere in the platform, the
Democrats rcassert their belief that
revenue only is the purpose of tariff
and since they hold up the Underwood
act as a model, there is scant POSSIBLE
ity that the Democrats in congress
would support a protective measure,
whatever the commission s findings of
fact. Notwithstanding the pretended
nOnpartisan character of the commits
sion there is nothing to prevent the
president naming three free-trade Dem
ocrats and three other Wilson men,
bearing Republican Or Progressive Ia
bells. The predictions of the members
will Influence their attitude. The fact
that Democrats still insist the Under
operation, illustrates this. But free
trade congress acting ON the findings
of either free-trade party or pro-
tective tariff commission would not
meet requirements.

Mouth Diseases and Smoking.

NNuSHud lcleRrdpn.)
The basic causes of cancer are still
obscure, but the researches of DR..
Robert Able, as reported in the Medi-
cal Record, establish an important
fact regarding cancer of the mouth or
tongue 1t is nearly always associated
with excessive smoking Tobacco is
evidently Il contributing cause, at
least. Most of the victims would
probably never have acquired the dis,
ease if they had not smoked intcmper-
ately DIR. Able goes so far as to say
that he has never seen serious mouth
disease in any patient not an inveter-
ate smoker.
Cigarettes are held responsible for n
large number of the Affections record
ed b. DIR. Able. Cigars are respon-
sible for others as they were, he says,
for the death of Gen. U. S. Grant and
mis- sou, Gen. +. ID. Grant. The usual
process seems to the the appears nee
of sores, caused by the smoking, and
then tho appearance of cancer In these
sores. Pipe smoking is regarded by
DIR. Able as particularly dangerous,
because the burning of the tongue by
the hot smoke from the pipe stem
makes Il spot peculiarly inviting to the
seeds of cancer,
The doctor disclaims any intention
to condemn smoking absolutely. He
merely indicates the danger of the
Incorporate use of tobacco. Mani
festly, however, it hard to tell where
to draw the line.
