Charles Evan Hughes. The letter was
accompanied by a confession Of faith,

New York, Oct 25.-WiIliam X. Ander-
son, one OF the most prominent members
of the New York bar and lifelong Demo
Crat, has enrolled in he national Hughes
Alliance. In his lett joining the ALI
anCe, Mr.. Anderson wrote that he had
always voted the Democratic national
ticket except when Bryan ran against
Mckinley. He voted for Wilson in 1872
The conviction has been growing on
me very strongly during the past year, %
he said, that We can no longer look for
disinterested motives in Mr.. Wilson'S Of.
fetal acts. His vaCillating, uncertain
weak Mexican policy, his attitude first
against and then for, then again against
honest preparedness. is not indicative OF
a man OF principle acting with a mind
single for his cOuntry's good, but rather
OF man seeking the easiest way out OF
the difficulties, afraid to decide lest ht
might offend one body Of citizens or an.
other. a man unable TO make strong
friends and yet seemingly fearful Of max
ing enemies. always self conscious and
viewing all public questions chiefly from
! the standpoint OF their relations to him
self.
A man who hands over his own prop.
crty under A bare threat is bad enough
but one who turns over some million,
OF dollars belonging to other people un.
der like circumstances Is not the typt
that I have learned to admire, nor do
believe that any honest man ever
among those who benefited by his act
| will respect him for It"

Spein After Our Tourists

Spain is making an ORGANIZED effort TO
divert American travel TO that country.
This sign Of enterprise in what Lord
Salisbury once called one Of the dying
nations" Of the earth is creditable Tn
Questlonably American tourists could in
Clude Spain in their itinerary with much
greater pleasure and proft than divers
other European countries that make small
return for the annoyanCes OF travel and
the rapaciOUs charges Of inn-keepers and
other thoroughly Commercialized gentry
that live OF Americans
But II may be that Spain has begun a
little too late. ARRANGEMENTS have been
made TO divert large part Of our Amer
lean tourist trade TO america itself.-St

Two years ago the government employe re-
ceved the same salary that he receives today.
Two years ago he would have paid only $I.o5 for
the foods listed above Today he would pay $500
for the foods 65 cents more than two
years ago.
These increases in the prices of foods have not
occurred in Washington alone. The same increases
are in effect throughout the length and breath OF
the nation and the end is not in sight. In fact,
some economists predict that the increases will
continue for at least another four years the
rate they have been increasing during the last
four years
Perhaps the strongest single argument for the
reelection of President Wilson is the wondrous
prosperity OF the nation. If this is true the in
creasing cost of living should be one of the most
forceful arguments against his reelection. But
when the voter goes to the polls November 7
he is not likely to give these acts their proper
weight
He will know that the people of the United
States more prosperous today than in many,
many years and he will know that the cost of liv-
ing is higher today than ever before. But having
shared in the nations prosperity and suffered little
from the higher cost of living because OF mis- pros
periy, the voter is likely to give more thought to
his increased income than to his increased ex-
pcnses
There are many, however, who like the gov
ernment employees have not been favored with in
creased incomes and know of prosperity only
through reading about it These voters may be
counted upon to consider the increased cost of 1v-
ing together with the Baltimore pledge of the
Democratic party to lower the cost of living.
The higher cost of living even though the Re-
publicans have been unable to give it prominence
as issue, because of prosperity, is certain to
lessen the number OF voters who will cast their hal
lots for Mr.. Wilson on November T.

Robert T. Frazier who is leading the fight in
the interest of the 100000 railway employees who
are not affected by the Adamson law, is giving
much publicity to the fact that Representative
Clark, of Florida, made a valiant attempt to induce
Congress to make the law apply to all railway
employees Mr.. Clark offered the following amend
ment: provided further, That this section shall
also include and apply to station agents, train dis
Patchers, trackmen, office employees, workers in
railway shops and all other employees Of a railroad
carrier engaged in interstate carriage Of passengers
and freight Mr.. Clark made an impassioned ap-
peal for his amendment. He said that he was op-
posed to the legislation at that time, and added,
"but If you intend to legislate, then, for Gods
sake, legisate fairly and give all these people the
advantage OF what you propose" The Democratic
leaders consulted the heads of the brotherhoods,
Mr. Frazier alleges, and found that they objected
to having the legislation apply to all railway en-
ployes. The amendment was rejected by a vote
of 81 to 100 and Democrats, almost to a man,
voting against 1t. If the cight-hour day had the
sanction Of society there was no excuse what
ever for refusing to make the law apply to all rail-
way employees, in the opinion of Mr.. Frazier,

To aim at high perfection is
A mighty goodly thing, I wis,

For tho the bulls-cye slips away
By aiming high perchance we may
Come closer unto it.

Is just to find a plan
Whereby in sorrow or in glee
We may contrive so as to be
As perfect as we can.

Method for
Measuring Hay

Many inquiries have been received
by the Extension Division OF the
University of Nevada relative to the
best method for measuring hay in the
stack for tonnage. The volume of a
stack will vary somewhat according
to the length Of time the hay has
been stacked, the kind and quality Of
hay and the character of the stack.
With alfalfa hay that has been stack
ed for thirty days it is usual to com
pute an S-fOot cube, or 5l2 cubic feet,
as a ton. When the hay has been
stacked five or six months usually a
i7H-foot cube, or 422 cubic feet. is
calculated as a ton In old, fully
settled stacks of grass hay it is usual
to allow a 7-foot cube, or 345 cubic
feet for a ton; or sometimes in very
large stacks only 2l6 cubic feet, or a
6-foot cube, is allowed per ton.
The volume Of a NOW is readily Sc
cured by multiplying together the
length, width and height. There are
different methods for measuring hay
in the stack depending upon the shape
of the stack and also upon its size
With a long stack the usual method
IS to add the width Of the stack to the
overthrow in feet: divide this sum BY
4 (which gives one side of the square
multiply the quotient by itself, ano
this product by the length OF the
stack in feet. This will give the mum.
Der of cubic feet in the stack.
For small low stacks the rule is tC
substract the width from the over
throw, divide by ?, multiplying b,
width and length Of stack in feet, am
dividing the result by the number o
cubic feet in the result by the numbe
Of cubic feet in a ton. In Nevada til,
latter method is the one cOmmon1,
known as the government method
and is most generally used.
