ANTI-DUMPING LAW
CALLED WORTHLESS
Hughes Scores Democratic
Effort to Protect Markets
of America.
OF NO VALUE WHATEVER

Spokane, Wash. Aug, l5,-Charles
E. Hughes last night told an audience
in Spokane's stadium that the pro-
posed democratic legislation against
the dumping OF foreign made goods
in this country after the war was
not worth the paper on which it was
written,
This piece of legislation Mr..
Hughes said, would be about as valu-
able as the piece Of paper ! hold in
my hand, in effect, in protecting the
American people in the economic war
that will come when peace comes to

Mr.. Hughes read a synopsis OF the
proposed legislation. The democratic
party, he said was not equal to the
task OF protecting American indus

Now, what would prosecuting

after reading the synopsis. He ha:

He has got to prove that such ac

MASTER OF THE SITUATION.

For the time being. the Roosevelt candidacy may seem formidable
on paper, but there is n 0 real substance to it.
The man who is master of the Roosevelt situation is not Theodore
Roosevelt but Charles E, Hughes. Ten words from Hughes would
completely wreck the Roosevelt campaign and drive the grand army OF
ex-ofice holders from the trenches.
If Hughes we're to resign from the United States Supreme Court
Republican nomination would be ended. Presenting his name to the
convention would be a waste OF time and words. This m be a numii-
iatng position for the Only Patriotic American to be placed in. but
is the fact nevertheless
Whatever progress the Roosevelt candidacy makes is due to gem
welt may succeed in killing off Hughes a he is strainng every nerve to
do. but he a succeed only with Hughes tadt consent Hughes need
not be killed off unless he is willing to be killed off.
The Roosevelt campaign FUND is modified and in action out Roosc-
welt is still considerably further from the White House than the Ger
mans are from Paris. The Republicans who are so vocierousy II
nounGng their allegiance to the colonel represent about n vote
apiece, provided they do not play golf NJ election day and forget to
go to the polls. Practically none OF them are delegates to the Chicago
convention, and most OF them could not carry their own election dis
appointive offices. never having been elected to anything.
To the casual reader their devotion to Roosevelt may seem inn
pressive, but not o the managers OF the Republican party. Four years
ago Roosevelt had the old guard scared, and if he had had a little more
courage he might have been nominated. But four years ago Roose-
delegates were won in H. primaries. Now his support ome from nc
socially elect circles that zee n o opportunity Of a return to place and
power except through Roosevelt and from various corporation inter-
ests which confuse patriotism with dividends. The rank and file are
not behind him, as every primary vote has shown.
The Republican managers know this, and they know that Roose-
Welt knows it. They III not the least bit frightened by him, There is
n O more chance OF the Republican conventions stampedng to him than
to Bryan. Whatever Roosevelt gets at Chicago, ii he gets anything
will be the result OF a cold hard. deliberate bargain. The World has
always believed that the old guard comd make a more advantageous
deal with Roosevelt than with any other candidate. He wants the
nomination worse than ANYBODY ee and would give more for ii. The
and the common opinion is that he would be a liability. Perhaps before
june 7 he can convince the Republican managers that he worth Did
ding in.
There will be very little sentiment about the Chicago conventions,
but the man who car take charge OF events is Charles f. HuGhes p"o-
ycr1d not be a perm;r ent 5h on his record and reputation. One
thing at least is certain. OF all the Republicans whose names have
been mentioned in connection with the presidency Hughes is the only
ne who could have the nomination by saying that he would TAX it

SAVING THE FAMILY PURSE.

An examination OF newspapers one hundred years old shows that
city people wer then. as now, complaining about the high costo OF food.
A century hence prices will be much higher than they are today, and
the complaints will be heard just the same. This is inevitable in a land
where the increase in population is five times as great as the yearly
increase in the volume of food produced. If food output were lnccos-

price would decline. That condition is not likely to happen III the

Government TO
Take Coal Miners
in South Wales

London, Nov. 80. sos A. M.-The
governments decision to assume con-
troll of all the coal mines in South
Wales on Dec. l under the Defense OF
the Realm Act, was announced too late
last night to enable commentators as
yet to gauge it's probable effect. The
announcement was a surprise to both
sides in the miners controversy and.
judging from preliminary statements
by individuals, both miners and en-
ployers are more or less dumbfounded.
Secretary Richards of the South
Wales Miners Federation, dceollrd
emphatically that the miners would
oppose such a measure unless it were
made applicable to the coal mining
industry of the whole country. A ma
jority of the South Wales leaders are
now in London for a conference re-
garding the threatened strike. They
will meet this morning to consider the
startling development in the situation.
Mine owners seem as much at loss
as the miners to understand the bear
ing of the new regulation.
A brief dispatch from Cardiff at
midnight says that the news came to
the coal interests there as bomb
shock.
