republicans that the candidacy of Jus
tice Hughes has been disappointing and
that Il he was depended O.: alone 70
carry Iowa it might be difficult task
The objection is not that he has shown
any lack of mental vigor or any weak
ness in stating his position but rather
that he shows unfa miliarity with re-
cent political questions that are crowd
ing to the front. It Is being pointed
out. even by men who are staunchly
supporting the republican ticket, that
Hughes is too much like Judge Taft.
and that like the latter he shows the
signs Of having looked at things too
much from the distant standpoint OF a
Judge. The thought is that statecraft.
nationally as well as in state matters,
is something that can not be picked up
in a day, as a side line or incidental,
but that experience and familiarity
with public questions and methods OF
doing business for the public are OF
prime Importance. Not since Roose-
welt have we had a man In the White
House having this experience. Roose-
velt was well trained In political at
fairs. He was fairly entitled to be
called the great American politician
But Mckinley was trained politician
and familiar with political methods and
the needs Of the people. So was Cieve.
land. Despite this disappointment over
the lack of familiarity with public af-
fairs Hughes is going to run strong in
Iowa
When the next republican state con-
vention meets--in 1918-it Is likely the
balance OF power will have been very
much shifted and some interesting
features will develop. The delegations

Last week he handed in a very nice

are also glad he is the boy that will

other, to see who could blow up the

More important than WOODS fate,
however, Is the Justification Of his
prosecution. II WooD was prosecuted,
II baseless charges were brought
against him to force him out Of ONCE,
II the authority Of the Legislature and
OF the criminal courts was employed
to achieve a political purpose. a stu.

In a Emergency the National Guard
Would Be Found Wanting.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: I
would like to answer tho letter signed
"A Defender Of the Guard" that APP
peared in THE SuN Of December 90.
He, like the rest Of the defenders. con-
siders the personal feelings Of the men
in the Guard more than he considers
the protection Of the nation his faith
fulness to the National Guard far out
weighs his love for his country. The
whole history OF this country points to
the volunteer system as a failure. II
has SO proved in every war. As a
military force the National Guard Is
without value in an emergency.
Were that emergency to be a sudden
declaration of wal against US by any
single nation or combination of nations.
We should be called upon to raise not
less than a total of three million men.
The National Guard hasn't ,one-fftieth
Of that number. and what II has could
not be modified IN two months 1t full
strength and with regular service equip
ment. 1t would be poorly differed.
many OF the officers being without any
qualifications to command and to be en-
trusted with the lives OF those under
them except that they are good fellows
and are popular with the men in their
respective regiments. And the division
from each State would be commanded
by a politician. appointed by his Gov
ernor to pay a political debt.
And this is the army of unframed men
which "A Defender" and all defenders
Of the National Guard would have the
nation depend upon for its very life
against millions Of trained troops with
highly trained officers and Generals.

be negatively neutral and a "watchful
waiting" for an opening wherein some
diplomatic glory may be come upon by
chance? All this with no thought for
the feelings of thousands Of true Ameri-
ans who are praying and hoping for
some word or deed which will restore
the longed for thrill Of patriotism and
the opportunity to exalt their country.
