DEMOCRATIC OPTICAL DELUsI0N

"A startling example Of optical H.
lusions in politics is that of the Demo-
Gratis who imagine they see nothing
but negation in the positive cam
paign being waged by the very posi-
tive Mr.. Hughes"
This was the statement given out
by Western manager, Alvin T. Hert,
at Chicago yesterday.
because Mr.. Hughes Is vigorous
~ denouncing the many failures Of
the administration, our opponents ad-
vance the charge that Mr.. Hughes is
q kicker who has nothing construc-
tive to offer instead.
'The truth is that in referring to
the administration Mr.. Hughes is
forced to discuss negative achieve
ments,' for that is what the Demo-
cratic record amounts to.
"And Mr.. Hughes has not dwelt
upon single one Of the destructive
acts of the party in power without
Offering the people something con-
structive to take it's place.
Every word Mr.. Hughes has ut
tered from the very beginning of the
campaign has been a promise of fu-
ture constructive performance.
weak Underwood tariff law with a
constructive Republican tariff that
will be the first sure line of defense
in the coming industrial conflict with
the cheap labor and cheap materials
of desperate and highly organized
Europe.
Hughes proposes to put a. stop to
the financial orgy which has resulted
in four billion dollar Democratic
congress, which turned northern tax
alton in southern pork, wrung $780,
100000 from the people for war
taxes in times of peace, and created
10000 new Democratic jobs.
Hughes proposes to do away with
the destructive Democratic policy of
handicapping and insulting Amer
lean brains and American capital
when it seeks to lay real foundation
for foreign trade. In it's place will
be a constructive policy of encour-
agement for the latest type of Amer
lean pioneer-the men who have gone
forth and shall continue to go forth
hereafter to carry the glory of the
republic to other lands.
Hughes proposes to throw the
webbing vagaries of the present ad-
ministration on international affairs
into the discard, and to erase the
blots they have left on our national
shield by the policy of firmness and
foresight to which the American peo-
pie were accustomed before March 4,
1918.
Hughes proposes to stamp out the
present vacillating and 1hinous course
toward Mexico and to put in it's place
policy which will protect American
women, American lives and American
property on both sides of the boun-
Diary. After March 4, there will be
no more Carrizal or Santa Ysabe]
outrages, nor will there be half baked
'interventions.' The Mexicans will
soon learn that Hughes means what
he says.

Time Is Very Valuable In The United States
The Quick Lunch Counter Is Result Of This

fN the United States time is very
valuable, because we have only had

tons have succeeded in using up more
than 1000 years apiece without getting
anywhere in particular In our $50
years. we have had to eradicate indians
buffaloes and rattlesnakes from 5000
coo SQUARE miles of territory; build
homes equipped with steam heat ana
pisnos for upwards Of 10O,000,O0O
people; construct 100000 miles OF rail-
roads: build 100000 churches and

tato patches and bring 10000 baseball

has not had much time to waste on

lunch counter, an invention by which
a man is able TO engulf four varieties

than il takes to flag a waiter IN a

The quick lunch counter is as Dig a
