Trouble in Restaurant.

William Miller and William Seder grin were both arrested by Officer Pat rick Quirk last night after a little trouble in the White House lunch. Both were drunk. Miller has been ar rested fourteen times for this offense and when Prosecutor Klett suggested that he is a fit subject for the state farm for drunkards he begged pit eously to be given one more chance. He claims to be earning $4 day at Pratt &s Whitneys, and was willing to pay any kind of a fine. He was fined $5 and costs and a sentence of thirty days in jail was suspended. Miller was very profuse with his thanks.
 Sodergrin was fined $7 and costs for his part in the rumpus. He told the court it will be two years tomorrow since he has been arrested.

"Prosperity and Peace"

Attorney General Gregory. speaking at Bangor, Me-. attributed the pros perity the nation is now enjoying to the presidents success in maintaining peace, defended his policy of resort ing to words and not deeds" in con- troversies with foreign countries, and denounced Charles Evans Hughes, Re publican candidate for the presidency, for his attacks on the Wilson admin iStration.
 Defending the presidents dipIo- matic course in the controversy with Germany over the sinking of the Lu- sitania and the torpedoing of the Sussex. MT. Gregory said:
 What would MT. Hughes have done under the circumstances? Would he have declared war on Germany? Mir. Hughes has never yet dared answer this question. though it has been asked thousand times."

DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE WELL
Record of Wise Legislation Entitled Party in Power to the Support
 of the Voters

For long time the Republican par ty arrogated to itself the sobriquet of the business mans party. Many Re publicans admitted that the Deyno- cratic policy might be all right in theory, but that 1t was not competent to make laws for the conduct of busi- ness in this commercial and wealth accommodating age.
 But the opportunity came to the Democratic party in 1912, and it has more than fulfilled the highest expec- tations. During the last three years the Democratic party has adopted more important acts-acts of far-reach- ing benefit-than the Republican party has done in thirty years. If the Will son administration had done nothing more than given the country a sound and elastic currency system 1t would have been entitled to high honor; but it's many remedial and constructive measures enacted into law have made 1t essentially business mans party, while in no sense weakening its hold upon the masses.
 If thousands of business men in New York voted the Democratic presiden- tial ticket in other years, tens of thousands will vote that ticket in No vember. If great legislative record counts for anything the Democrats should score a decisive victory.

Hughes, Discreet Silence.

At Winthrop. Me-, Secretary Dan iels put the issue sQuarely when he said: Nobody today dares to promise to restore the Aldrich schedules. Not even the most standpat reactionary worshipers of the high priest of tariff extortion suggest any return to the old
 schedules" Eight years ago, in his campaign for the presidency, MT. Taft, at Bath, Me, promised in the name of the Republican party a fair revision downward of the tariff, and after the Payne-Aldrich tariff was adopted he hesitated momentarily about signing the bill, and later denounced as "inde- fensible" schedule K-the citadel of protection, as Senator Aldrich de scribed 1t. The Payne-Aldrich tariff split the Republican party wide open and started the Republican insurgents and Progressives on the warpath. Mir.
 Hughes today, in his high-tariff speeches, dares not say a word in de fense of the Payne-Aldrich schedules. He deals only in soothing generalities.

 The big hat at the bottom of the picture is of white hatters' plush faced with velvet in the color of moleskin. There is a heavy chenille lattice work about the side crown, in the same color as the facing, and three little ostrich tips, also in taupe, are perched at the back as if to draw attention to the lift in the brim. A small painted apple of velvet is set in two velvet leaves at the right front.

Still the Party of Spells,

Senator Gallingers apotheosis of the dead Aldrich. along with his praise of the living Cannon, was a tactless dragging out of the skeleton in the Republican closet. Mir. Gallinger Is secure in his seat. but has he no re- gard for his colleagues who are seek ing reelection on the plea that the Republican party is chastened and re- formed? The New Hampshire sena- tor has done his best to confirm the fear that the looming back" of his party would be a coming back in it's worst guise, unrepentant. Many will hesitate to vote for Hughes if they see Gallinger and Penrose standing behind him, eager to become the chief bene- ficiaries of Republican success. And the sort of prehistoric high-tariff stuff which MT. Hughes has been talking in the West will not relieve the appre- tensions on this score.

We know he Governor Hughes) Is a protectionist and will favor a protec- tive tariff so framed as to do justice to all American interests and confer special favors on none, but do not know what particular duties he would favor for any particular industry. be cause he has not had the evidence in any case before him.-San Francisco Chronicle during MT. Hughes visit to California.
 In the case of any Republican tariff, Senator Boies Penrose and Represent ative Fordney would be the judges of "the evidence" and would fix "the par ticular duties." MT. Hughes cam paign generalities do not in any way touch the real issue.
 Considering how little of Repub- lican campaign there is, the amount of squabbling over the management is enormous.

NOT GAINING VOTES|
Hughes Campaign Sn Far a Dis
 tinct Failure.
Republican Candidate Seems Inca pablo of Dealing With Issues That Are Really lmportant-Nothing
 but Piffle and Evasion.

MT. Charles Evans Hughes Is show Ing a positive genius In the discovery and exploitation of unimportant is- sues and the evasion of all-importsnt ones.
 Half the world Is on fire, and the sparks are falling on or near our own soil almost daily. An administrator which, whether one likes 1t or not, has done more constructive work than all previous administrations since the Civil war is on trial. Yet with these topics before him. MT. Hughes spends time wailing because some Democrat has a job in the census bureau. or some Republican has been retired from the diplomatic service; or com plains because President Wilson. with thousand more important matters pressing on his mind, has not abol- ished the time-dishonored institution publicans and Democrats alike!
 It is campaign of piffie-when 1t is not campaign of evasion. MT. Hughes has not given a clear, definite, detuiled statement of his position on a single important issue. He has not said what he would have done or will do in Mex leo. he has not told whether or not he agrees with Roosevelt that this coun- try should have gone to war over Bel gium or, at the latest, over the Lusi- tania. But he has poured forth floods of oratory on 1ommonplaces and tru- isms which never yet were an issue in national campaign, and he has in- dulged in rancorous fault-finding with out offering a single suggestion of ad- vice.
 The American people have made many weird blunders. but never yet, in time of crisis, have they chosen lead CT who did not dare say how he meant to lead. To adapt well-known health resort pleasantly, MT. Hughes is get ting no nearer the White House very fast.

King Road Drag.

holes in them. If each farmer and au- tomobilist would follow the example set by that progressive community in Washington, this state would soon have much better roads, says Florida Grower.
 There is an old saying that "a stitch in time saves nine," and this applies forcibly to keeping up roads. When a small hole appears fill it up. Don't wait for the other fellow to do it, be- cause a rain may come along before the fellow does, and by washing the dust out leave a place for wheels to drop in and make the hole larger.
 Rough roads are expensive for every one travelling over them. Wagons suf- fer as we'll as automobiles. The strain soon racks the wheelss spring the axles and increase the draft of the wagon, thus making it much harder on the team.
 Automobilists suffer more than wag- ons because they travel at higher speed. Springs, axles, wheels and all parts suffer and the car is soon ready for the junk heap.
 Dr. w. c. Etheridge, professor of agronomy in the University of Flor ida College of Agriculture, is very much in favor of the "chuck-hole" club" idea, and urges in addition that farmers use the King drag on the road along their property after each rain.
