"AMERICA FIRST AND AMER

We come to state in a plain
and direct manner our faith, our
purpose and our pledge. This
representative gathering is a
happy augury. It means the
strength of reunion. 1t means
that the party of Lincoln is re-
stored, alert, effective. 1t means
the unity OF a common percep-
tion of paramount national
needs. It means that We are
neither deceived nor benumbed
,by abnormal conditions. We
know that we are in critical
period, perhaps more critical
than any period since the civil
war. We need a dominant
sense of rational unity, the ex-
ercise of our best constructive
powers, the visor and resource
fuIness of a quickened America.
We desire that the Republican
party as a great liberty party
shall be the agency Of national
achievement, the organ Of the
effective expression of dominant
Americarism. What do | mean
by that? mean America con-
scious OF power, awake to obli-
cation, erect in self respect, pre-
pared for every emergency, de-
voted to the ideals of peace, in
stinct with the spirit Of human
brotherhood, safeguarding both
Individual opportunity and the
public interest, maintaining a
we'll ordered constitutional sys-
tenn adapted to local self gov
ernment without the sacrifice Of
essential national authority, ap-
preciating the necessity Of sta

The fire department was called |
out about a o'clock Monday af-
ternoon to fight a fire that was
consuming the barns on the Will
bur Searle lot on East Water
street and those on the premises
of Mrs. Mary Schmermund and
the late Rev. Jones, the latter
nov owned by Mr. Jefferis, on
East Main street. The Searle
stable was practically consumed,
while the others were partially
burned before the blaze could be
extinguished. How the fire star
ted is not known.
Fire, started by sparks from a
chimney. broke out in the roof of
DR.. A. w. Rush's residence on
West Third street and had gained
considerable headway before it
was discovered about 10 o'clock
Monday forenoon. Before it was
placed under control by the fire
department the entire roof was
practically burned off, also por-
tions of the second story. Three
streams of water were thrown,
which did as much damage as the
blaze, especially to the plaster
ing, paper and furniture, as well
as soaking the Doctors library.
In all probability, the entire Sec
ond story will have to be rebuilt
and the whole interior repaired.
During the fire the Harper resi-
dence on the east and the Re
formed church on the west caught
fire but were soon extinguished.
Doctor Rush had ample insur-
ance to cover his fire loss.

The National Fire Protection aSSOct
alton asserts that n fire occurs every
day in some school, in the United

seventy fires occurred in the first six
ty-eight days of the present year. Chill.

schoolhoIseS. Their proper guardians
have no discretion under the law, for
the children of school age must go
where the authorities direct. Soon
after a memorable school fire disaster
had destroyed 173 innocents applica-
tion was made for building permit al
most to duplicate the structure which
caused such frightfulness. Recently
three fire horrors took place within ten
days. Two were in factories and one
In a school. The factory owners were
promptly brought to task, as they
should be. But operatives walk will
ingly into factory firetraps in search
of wages, while, as has been said,
school children have no choice. Hor-
rors deliberately caused merit and Of

IN PREPAREDNESS THE AD-
MINISTRATIoN HAS FOL-
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the administration
has followed, not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were first described as
nervous and excited" Only
about a year and a half ago we
were told that the question of
preparedness was not q pressing
one; that the country had been
misinfOrmcd. Later. under the
pressure of other leadership. this
attitude was changed. The ad-
ministratiOn, it was said, had
LEARNED something" and il made
a belated demand for an in
creased army. Even then the
demand was not prosecuted con-
sistently and the pressure ex-
erted on congress with respect
to other administrative measures
was notably absent.
We are told that the defects re-
vealed by the present mobiliZa-
ton are due to the system" But
it was precisely such plain de-
fects that under the constant
warnings Of recent years. with
the whole world intent on mill
tary concerns. should have been
studied and rectifed The ad-
ministration has failed to dis
charge its responsibilities. Ap-
parently it is now seeking to
meet political exigencies by its
naval program. But it has i'm
posed upon the country an in
competent naval administration.

DUTY OF THE ADMINISTRA-
TIoN TO STOP PLOTS AND
coNsPIRAcIEs.

We denounce all plots and
conspiracies in the interest of
any foreign nation. Utterly in
tolerable is the use Of our soil
for alien intrigues. Every Amer
lean must unresorvedly con-
denim them and support every
effort for their suppression. But
here also prompt, vigorous and
adequate measures on the part
of the administration were need
ed. There should have been no
hesitation, no notion that it was
wise and polite to delay. Such
an abuse Of our territory de-
manded immediate and thor
Oughgoing action. As soon as
the administration had notice of
plots and conspiracies it was its
duty to stop them. 1t was not
lacking in resources. Its re-
spOnsibility for their cOntinu-
ance cannot be escaped by the
condemnation of others.-FrOm

TRUE INWARDNEss OF THE
VERA CRUZ INCIDENT.

In the spring Of 1914, occur
red the capture of Vera Cruz.
Men from one of our ships had
been arrested at Tampico and
had been discharged with an
apology. But our admiral de-
manded a salute. which was re-
fused. ThereupOn the president
went to congress, asking au-
thOrity to use the armed forces
of the United States. Without
waiting for the passage of the
resolution. Vera Cruz was seiz-
ed. 1t appeared that a shiplOad
of ammunition for Huerta was
about to enter that port. There
was natural opposition to this
invasion and n battle occurred
in which nineteen Americans and
over a hundred MeXicans were
kihed. This, of course, was war.
Our dead soldiers were praised
for dying like heroes in a war of
service. Later. we retired from
Vera Cruz. giving up this noble
warfare. We had not obtained
the salute which was demanded.
We had not obtained reparatiOn
for affrOnts. The ship with am
munitiOn which could not land
at Vera Cruz had soon landed at
another port, and its cargo was
delivered to Huerta without in
reference. Recently the naked
truth was admitted by cabinet
officer. We are now informed
that I'VE did not go to Vera Cruz
to force Huerta to salute the
flag" We are told that we went
there "tO show Mexico that we
were In earnest in our demand
that Huerta must 60" That Is,
we seized Vera Cruz to depOse
Huerta. The question of the
salute was mere preteXt.-

WHAT ONE BIG MAN
THINKS OF ANOTHER.

President w. H. p. Faunce of
Brown university is a pretty live
wire who keeps abreast of the
times, has keen powers of obser-
walton and knows a good man
when he sees him. Here is what
he has to say about the Repub-
lican candidate for the presi-
dency:
II have known Justice Hughes
intimately since we were stu
dents together at Brown and
have seen him a thousand times
at work and at play. No man of
our generation has a finer COM
bination of character and intel
Iect. Absolutely fearless, unseIf-
ish, loyal to American ideals, he
is worthy of nations trust.
"AIl his friends know that be-
hind the dignity of bearing is a
rich fund of humor and good fell
Iowship. Whether he is climbing
a mountain, reading novels, play
ing with his children, resisting a
political lobby or delivering the
opinion of the supreme court, he
is ever the same rugged, demo-
cratic, fair minded American.
His varied experience has given
him wide horizon and sympa-
thy with every aspect of Ameri-
can life.
"He possesses two qualities
rarely found tOeether-the judi
cial temper and the capacity for
swift and resoIuts action. Un-
der his administration the fog
which now besets many public
questions would be cleared away.
ellis penetrating mind goes to
the heart of any subject he &C.
Iects and strips off the irrelevant
at once. Such a mind is pecul-
iarly needed amid the intricate
problems that now confront
America.
1--WE need more than good in
tentions. We need clear vision,
sound judgment, strong will, un-
hesitating decision. In short, we
need Charles E. Hughes"
