Hughes Points the Way

The speech Of the Republican candi-
date for president was keynote
speech indeed. Not one person In the
great audience at the Carnegie hall
meeting was in doubt for one moment
as to Just what he moant by every
thing he said
His address was comprehensive, logi-
cal, clear and all sufficient for the oc-
casion. There can be no dispute as to
this. Plainly Mr.. Hughes is man
who "knows what be wants when he
wants It," and 1t is the opinion Of po-
litical authorities who heard him and
who have since read his remarks that
he knows also how to get 1t.
1t was incumbent upon the >Republi.
can candidate to confine the scope OF
his remarks to the limitations Of the
occasion, but his crushing analysis Of
the shortcomings Of the present adj
ministration of the government Is
merely an earnest OF what the tone
and the contents Of his speeches Will
be when he gets on the stump.
At Carnegie hall Mr.. Hughes ad-
verted to every general question that
is apt to be a serious issue In the cam
paign and I'm language that VIII be
absolutely clear to every man or wo-
man able to read he stated his opin'
ions. his convictions and his purposes.
On the stump he will argue those
points In detail. AS an orator he IL
eloquent, his personality attractive.
and his marshaling Of facts so Co
hesive that he holds his audience to
the end. He makes II easy for them
to follow him, and his points are not
lost
There was nothing equivocal. moth

didate's speech Of acceptance. he
called spade a spade, and the unani.

was that he shot to the center and
rang the beH The Republican cam
paign is now open. and those who will

cess Of the Republican ticket can wish
for no more adequate campaign docu
ment, no more satisfactory statement
Of issues than are found In the candi

DUTY OF THE ADMINlSTRA-
TIoN TO STOP PLOTS AND
CONsPIRAciES.

We denounce all plots and
conspiracies In the interest Of
any foreign nation. Utterly In
tolerable is the use of our soil
for alien intrigues. Every Amer.
lean must unreservedly con-
denim them and support every
effort for their suppression. But
here also prompt, vigorous and
adequate measures on the part
Of the administrator were need
ed. There should have been no
hesitation, no notion that 1t was
wise and polite to delay. Such
an abuse Of our territory de-
manded immediate and thor.
oughgoing action. As soon as
the administration had notice OF
plots and conspiracies 1t was its
duty to stop them. 1t was not
lacking In resources. Its re-
sponsibility for their continu.
ance cannot be escaped by the
condemnation OF others.-From

HISTORY As IT is TAUGHT
A Plea For Really Neutral Textbook
In Every Country


History In every country is so taughi
as to magnify that country. Children
| leern TO believe that their own country
has been always IN the right and nj
most always victorious, that Il has pro
duced almost all the great men and
that IL Is in all respects superior to
ali other countries. Since these be
liefs are fnttering they are easily alb
sorbed and hardly ever dislodged from
instinct by later knowledge
To take simple and almost trivia
example: The facts about the battle o.
Waterloo are known I'm great detail
and with minute accuracy, hut the
facts as taught In elementary schools
viii be widely different IN England
France and Germany. The ordinary
English boy imagines that the Prus
slams played hardly any part; the ordi
nary German boy inagines that Wei
hngtor was practically defeated when
the day was retrieved by Blucher's gal
hntry. If the facts were taught &C
curateiy In both countries nationa,
pride would not be fostered TO th.
same extent. neither nation would fee
so certain Of victory In the event OF
war and the willingness to fight would
he diminished
II Is this result which has to be pre-
vented. Every state wishes TO foster
national pride and Is conscious tina,
this cannot be done by unbiased his
terry.
The defenseless children are taught
by distortions and suppressions and
suggestions. The false ideas as to the
history Of the world which are taught
in the various countries are OF a kind
which fosters strife and serves to keen
alive bfgoted nationaHsm.

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to re,
duce the cost of living. This
they have failed TO do. But they
did reduce the opportunities Of
making n living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed In
this country under the new tariff
prior to the outbreak OF the war.
Production had decreased. busi.
ness was languishing, new enter
prises were not undertaken. in-
stead Of expansion there was
curtailment and our streets were
filled with the unemployed. What
ground Is there for expecting
better conditions when the un.
healthy stimulus of the war has
spent its force and our industries
and workingmen are exposed to
the competition OF an energized
Europef
1t Is plain that we must have
protective upbuilding policies.-
