"PUNCH" SUPPORTED By FACT.

Col. Roosevelt's opening address in
this campaign in advocacy of the cleo
ton of Charles Evans Hughes and the
straight Republican ticket displays his
oid-time vigor. "A speech with the
punch!' is the way his myriad Penn
sylvania admirers echo the applause of
the Maine audience. But there was
something more than punch" in the
address. 1t overlooked with fact
What we would like all readers to do is
temporarily at least to keep in sup
preston the influence of brilliant rhet-
oric and flashing. scalpel and concen-
trate upon the facts presented. Take
one of them-the Wilsonian Mexican
policy-as starter. Today, as Col
Roosevelt truthfully declares, the Will
son buglemen advance as his greatest
achievement that he has kept US out
of war" And with what results! The
Colonel answers:
Under President Mckinley we had a
war with Spain. Under President Will
son we are assured that we have had
peace" with Mexico. These are the
words. Now the deeds. During the
war with Spain fewer Americans were
killed by the Spanards than have been
killed by Mexicans during the present
peace" with Mexico. Moreover, when
the war with Spain was through, it
was through. But peace" still con-
tinues to rage as furiously as ever in
Mexico.
Col. Roosevelt's manner of cam
paigning will appeal more strongly to
the average man in the street than the
manner of Mr.. Hughes, his tempera-
mental opposite; but each, dealing with
fact in his own way, will impress the
whole body of voters, and there can be
no doubts as to the outcome in No
vember.

suits for damages. The nation that
violates these essential rights must ex-
pect to be checked and called to account
at once makes the quarrel in part our
own.
This also has the approval of the
American people, insofar as it is not
made the excuse for permitting con-
tinued invasions of our rights, property
or otherwise. President Wilson says
his record is clear and consistent
throughout. 1t is-as to his failure
to vindicate the principles he has out
lined. He has not stood up manfully
for the fundamental rights of human
ity;" Germany was not brought to
cessation of her submarine frightful-
ness for over year after she entered
upon her dreadful campaign. Our
national sovereignty has been directly
violated many times. Have England.
France or Italy been checked and
called to account by direct challenge
and resistance?" Not so far as any of
US knows. How would Mr.. Wilson
meet the new problems that will arise
suddenly and at once the moment tfe
war in Europe is over? Judging by
his handling of the transporta ton crisis
of last week, he would be thrown into
a panic in which his sense of Justice
would be paralyzed, his mind frozen,
his backbone wilted, his intelligence
palsied. He would rush to a solution
without thought of the future. The ex-
perienced diplomats of Europe would
gently brush him aside with a run
along, sonny; the great part he sees
the United States playing in the re-
adjustments would be no part at all.
That is what the v ilson record reveals.
Mr.. Wilson says the problems to come
will require for their solution new
thinking, fresh courage and resource
fulness, and in some matters radical
reconsideration of policy" Then why
leave to Woodrow Wilson the considera-
ton of them? Rather let US submit
them to the clear thinker, the courage
GUS administrator, the resourceful
statesman that we know Charles E.
Hughes to be. AS President he will
lead the United States out of the dark
ness into which the Democratic admin
istration has plunged it into its rightful
position of respected leadership.

A Fountain Without Water

To the Editor of The Republican.
Several times it has happened. while
passing. the Court House, l have seen
some one hopefully approach the drink
ing fountain, press the faucet (if that
be its proper Nance, and-that was all.
No water responded to the appeal.
Inquiry brought the information that
the fountain was not broken or out of
order-the water was just turned off -
1t little hard to see just what is
the purpose of a fountain without
water. Surely not ornament. Anyone
of US could think of dozen more or
namental things than a dry drinking
fountain to occupy the space on the
Court House curk. and Oakland is not
situated on the Western plains where
every drop of water is precious.
Everyone, presumably, knows some
of the Carnegie Library plan. Andrew
Carnegie, through his agents, gives to
town handsome library building and
the town fills it with books. have
seen many such Carnegie libraries. but
never one that was empty. Such a one
would be laughing stock. 1t is hard
" necessary to point to the analogy.
The drinking fountain was gift to
Oakland. To the corporation was left
the duty of supplying it with water.
The coming week will bring to Oakland
many strangers to attend the Fair. At
present there is not a place in town
where one can get a drink of water
without asking for it, and thus causing
some one more or less trouble.
May we not hope that for these few
days, at least. our Town Council see fit
to order the water turned on in the
fountain?

WILSON PROVES HE'S A MlSFlT

In his speech accepting the Democratic
nomination, Mr.. Wilson said the follow
ing. which every American ought to
keep IN mind, for every word is true:
The future, the immediate future, will
bring US squarely face to face with
many great and eXactlng problems
which will search US through and
through whether we be able and ready
to play the part in the world that we
mean to play. 1t will not bring US into
their presence slowly, gently, with
ceremonious introduction, but suddenly
and at once, the moment the war in
Europe is over. They will be new
probl ems, most of them; many will be
old problems in new setting and with
new elements which we have never
dealt with or reckoned the force and
meaning of before. They will require
for their solution new thinking, fresh
courage and resourcefulness, and in
some matters radical reconsideration of
policy. We must be ready to mobilize
our resources alike of brains and
materials.
Mr.. Wilson described what he con-
ceived to be the part the United States
must play in restoring the world after
the war, declaring. eve must make
ourselves ready to play it intelligently,
vigorously and we'll " There can be no
dissent from that. 1t is what the Re-
publican Press has asserted manv times
during more than a year. Here is a
work of preparation in which every
voter can and should take hand direct
ly. 1t is the selection of a President
who can be depended upon to act for
the nation 'intelligently, vigorously and
WELL" Mr.. Wilson cannot be depend
ed on so to act. The record proves it,
He is misft in the handling of inter-
national and domestic affairs. Only a
couple of examples now to make that
clear.

son stated as principles involved in war

sight of or departed from
