posal that freedom should be main
tanned after the war. The English
delegates stoutly opposed this, say
ing they would not tolerate anything
which would jeopardize England S
food supply by interfering with the
powcr Of the British feet.
The delegates maintained that a.
far as England was concerned me
seas were free before the wal ara
would continue free thereafter Inc
resolution was withdrawn.
The conference OF trade uniouists
was arranged by the French Labor
Confederation after the recent eco
nomi, conference Of the Allied ma
tional leaders in Paris. The session
was private and was presided over by
James O'Grady, Labor member OF

instructions to their delegates to the
Republican national convention.
Mr.. Hughes has not disappointed
those who have reposed confidence In
his character and judgment. In his
speech of acceptance he has clearly
set forth the vital issues upon which
the Republican party proposes to
conduct the campaign this fall. On
the platform he Is telling the nation
wherein the present administration
has been at fault and what is neces'
sary to be done to restore the United

Mr.. HUGHES HAS EXPLODED THE
"KEPT-US-oUT-oF.WAR"
ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Hughes attack upon the kept
us-out-of-war" argument has aroused
a story of enthusiasm.
"Kept us out of war;" he demands.
"Why, there were nineteen men-good
American soldiers, shot down at Vera
Cruz, and many Mexicans were killed
by our men. That was war. More
over, it was a very ignoble var I
have heard three explanations Of the
Vera Cruz move.
"First, it was explained that 1t WAS
made in order to compel somebody
to salute the lag-somebody who had
insulted us. But the flag was not sa-
luted and has not been to this day,
Then it was said that the salute was
not what we sought, but to prevent
the landing Of a boatload Of ammunf'
ton intended for Huerta. The ammu
milton, landed, however, and 1t has
been shown that it reached Huerts
in due season without interference or
u part.
"When that reason was shown tt
be untenable, a third one-and possibl,
the real one-tinally was advanced
1t was said that our seizure Of Vers
Cruz was a move to compel the retire
ment of Huerta. 1t seems possible
that this Is true, although we hat
promised the Mexicans that we woul'
not interfere in their affairs and toll
them moro than nee that we wante'
them to handle their own affairs.
"That is why the Mexicans coul,
not understand us and that is VIII,
they show little faith in our promises.

The Swan Song

The saloon in Montana
seems about to sing its swan
song.
A strange phenomena this
might seem to the casual OBJ
server of events. Five years
ago the man who ventured
the prophesy that Montana
would 60 "dry" within a
decade would be hustled off
to a sanitarium. There
were laws governing saloons,
but they were not things of
life. They remained in a
state of coma in dusty law
libraries. The saloons con-
trolled the politics of the
small and big towns alike
and few people dared to
whisper the phrase claw en-
forcement."
The people who lived
here in an earlier time were
liberal minded and not dis
posed to be puritanical. The
people who came here when
the homeSteading era began
were also disposed to be
liberal minded and lenient,
So few there were who had
the vaguest idea that q
!. sweeping change of sent
iment on the saloon question
would come SO soon.
The saloon owners them.
selves seemed the last te
catch this spirit of change
Indeed it is doubtful if they
have yet caught the full
force of it. Certainly the!
have done nothing to correc
abuses or in any way to trim
= their sails to the change,
current of public feeling.
