THE COUNTRY MUST INSURE
ITSELF AGAINST INcAPAcITY.

In his vigorous speech at Philadel
phia on Monday night Mr.. Hughes
made an observation that should keep
his countrymen thinking soberly every
day until election morning, the sew
enth of November.
I'VE cannot say now in what par
ticular sort of mess we shall find,
things in March next"
Here is room for disquieting specu-
lation. The Government is in feeble
hands. 1t is never prepared to act.
In emergencies it does not know what
to do, or how to begin. 1t is the sport
Of circumstances. 1t waits for some
thing to turn up with a guilty feeling
of incapacity to deal with untoward
events. Mr.. Wilson, inconstant and
vacillating himself and unable to learn
from experience, can obtain neither
inspiration nor support from his Cabi-
net, which Is the weakest that any
President has called together since

thesCivil war. The policy of the Demo
cratic Administration is not so much
watchful as fearful waiting. 1t Is
flabby, timid, procrastinating, always
undecided.
So anything may happen to the ma
ton, any disaster, any disgrace. Mr.
Hughes is right: we don't know
''in what particular sort of mess we
shall find things in March next" The
country is helpless to prevent blunders
and imbecilities which may involve
it in an unwelcome war or taraish
it's honor; but the people can see Ia
it that an American President with
character and stamina as well as with
brains is in the White House on March
to pilot the country through tina
rapids, and the people can give him
Republican Congress to provide ths
legislation he asks for to carry out
his policies. The people can be In no
doubt that the Cabinet Charles Evans
Hughes selects will contain only abe

try affords.-New York Sun.

Mr.. Wilson says the election of Mr..
Hughes will mean war with Europe
and war with Mexico. Why not chuck
in Abyssinia and Patagonia for good
measure? One is as likely as the
other.
Now Ellis Parker Butler, author of
pigs Is Pigs has declared for VIII

pork, all right.
Now that Mr.. Hughes has left Mis-
souri, they're referring to it out there

You know what the usual standard
of the employee is in our day. 1t is
to give as little as he may for his

average workman can do.-Address to

Men in the Trenches.

Men who have been under fire in
the trenches or in the open, with
shells falling all around them and men
stricken on all sides, will tell you that
they had no fear as long as they could
fight and bear their part of the strug-
gle.
But when wounded, lying powerless
and helpless on the field. the enemy
descending on them, fear of the un
known, of the long hours of waiting
torture, of what fate had in store ror
them, has wrung groans from hearts
that no pain could influence.
Each sound, each movement con.

no name, no reason, but which was

which there was no relief but merciful
