Why l Am for Hughes
Mrs. Raymond Robins Shows That Mr.. Hughes'S Record
on Industrial Questions Entite Him to Support.

child labor law.
Again as governor of New York Mr..
Hughes advocated the protection OF
| children against dangerous employ
ments, and he had enacted into law
bill specifying machines upon which
children under 16 might not be en-
ployed.
AS governor of New York Mr..
, Hughes gave Of his splendid ability to
make possible the first employers LA
bility and workmen's compensation act
in America and showed how deeply
he, felt the human values involved
when he stated; I'VE shudder at the
thought of the carnage of war, but we
give too little attention to the perlls
of our Industrial army and to the use
less sacrifice of life" This law was
declared unconstitutional by the New
York court of appeals, but so clearly
had Mr. Hughes presented the issue to
the people that when the constitution
al convention assembled needed
amendment to the state constitution
was enacted, thereby making possible
the passage of more comprehensive
compensation act.
The New York state bureau OF in
dustries and immigration was created
through the effort OF Mr.. Hughes dur
ing his administration for the pro-
lection Of the strangers within our
gates. 1t established the first definite
state policy for the development OF the
American standard of life for the i'm

question In our industrial disputes,
and 1t is therefore OF great Importance
to all Of US who believe in the right
Of self government in the workshop
to know the position taken by Mr.
Hughes on this subject. In the case
Of Coppage vs.. Kansas. Justice Hughes
signed with Justice Day a minority re-
port and said: The right to Join labor
unions is undisputed and has been the
subject of frequent affirmation in ju-
diclal opinions think that the

am glad that my first presidential
vote is to be cast for Charles Evans
Hughes, for am convinced that his
record as governor Of New York ans
as Justice of the United States SUI
preme court shows his knowledge and
sympathetic understanding OF some Of
the greatest needs in our countrys
life at the present time.
am for Mr.. Hughes because of his
courageous stand for the federal
amendment to enfranchise the women
of America, and | feel It is significant
that re recognizes In the method Of
enfranchisement through the federal
amendment one of the great Issues be-
fore us.
1t is time for the people Of the Unit
ed States TO conceive of themselves as
one nation and national action, pre-
coded by national thought, is impera-
tive for the highest fultillment of our
country's ideals.
For years it has been my conviction
Tint the observation-disclosures of the
working women is their greatest eco
nomic handicap. l believe that every
faIr-minded person who has made a
study of the insuperable difficulties Of
many of the amending clauses to the
state constitutions will have TO admit
that the enfranchisement of women
by states will postpone for long per-
iod, the giving of the ballot to the
women.
The awakened social conscience has
caused women everywhere to consider
the social and industrial questions be-
fore us, the protection of children and
the home, the conservation of the
health and strength of our working
men and working women, for we know
that the most costly production of any
nation and its most valuable asset is
not its output Of corn, neither the
wheat harvest nor the yield Of coal or
cotton, hut its output Of men and wom>
en-. Upon the quality Of each genera
ton depends the strength and great
ness Of the nation.
With these problems confronting us
1t is fair TO ask what is Mr.. Hughes's
record? AS gocernor OF New York
Mr.. Hughes enacted ffty-six labor laws
in less than four years-one-third OF
all the labor Legislation that has been
enacted in New York state in 1873 years.
Mr.. Hughes has shown that he I'M
derstands the dangers to the individual
and the social cost to the community
in long hours of work for as governor
of New York he stood unequivocalIy
for the six-day week and he had enact
ed into law the eight-hour day for

should be about two inches in
length. Now cut out of very stout
cardboard a circle about two inches IN

a circular hole, so that it will just go

circle of cardboard into three, as
shown in Fig. 2, and cover one portion

and the other with blue or green paper.
If you would rather you can paint the
colors on the cardboard, but they must
be decided colors, tints will not do.
Now you have to make another circle

size as the circle Of the top. Cut some
holes in it as shown in Fig. 8. You can
do this best by folding it and smoking
the holes out with a pair OF scissors.

"A BATH" he said, "and filled with
the coolest water that. you have"
Then the Weather Person ran very
anxiously with his feet, and he fetched
a long and deep-1ooking bath, and he
filled it with the coolest kind of water
that he had.
And all the time the Rain Man
opened his mouth' and snored very
loudly with his nose. And outside the
water fell with a ceaseless splashing.
Then Rupert the Cat and the
Weather Person lifted UP the Rain
Man with their hands, and they
dropped him into the long and deep
looking bath, and they waited very
anxiously to see him wake up.
But the Rain Man was a man Of
water, and when he found himself in
the long and deep-looking bath he
didn't wake up at all, but he Just
turned over on his side, and snored
little bubbles all up through the water.
And he was just as fast asleep as
ever.
Rupert the Cat looked determined
with his mouth. For some minutes he
thought, then he moved toward the
snoring figure in the bath.
Come" he said to the Weather Per-
son, you take one leg and win take
the other, and we viii pull this Rain
Man about the house, and we will bump
him on the floor so that he shall wake
up"
So Rupert took one leg and the
Weather Person took the other, and
they pulled the Rain Man all round
the house. And they pulled him up
stairs. and they pulled him downstairs,
and they bumped him with chairs, and
they bumped him with tables, but still
did he snore with his nose, and still
did he sleep with his mind.
And after they had been pulling him
about for long time, Rupert the Cat
and the Weather Person began to get
very tired, for the Rain Man was a
big and heavy person.
So they sighed very disappointedly
and put him back on to the sofa.
Rupert the Cat felt very desperate
in his mind.
And all the time Boo the Cow
shufled nervously with her feet and
wished that she wasn't there.
Suddenly Rupert looked I'D and
pointed eagerly to- Boo the Cow.

the animals used to scream with their
voices and make faces with their
mouths until she stopped.
And Boo the Cow got more nervous
than ever. and she cried with her eyes,
but she called up her voice and began
to sing.
And the voice Of Boo the Cow rum
bled quiveringIy round the floor, and
the voice of Boo the Cow echoed shril-
" round the walls of the room.
And when they heard it Rupert and
the Weather Person stuffed their I'm
gers in their ears. and the Weather
Person quickly shut himself very
safely into the cupboard OF the side
board.

bent forward eagerly toward the blue
sofa where the Rain Man lay.
Surely he had moved!
"Once more" he cried, "once morei"
And once again the voice Of Boo
the Cow echoed quiveringly through
the room. and suddenly the snoring
stopped.
Rupert sprang toward the sofa. The
Rain Man was awake with his hands
he rubbed his eyes and his body
shivered.

Only the heavy fall of the water
broke the silence.
Suddenly the sound stopped.
The Rain Man had turned off the

Rupert smiled with his face and
leapt gaily to the door.

Come. For the rain has stopped"
Back to the ladder did they run. and
down toward the farmyard did they
/ climb.
And as they climbed, the sun pierced
slowly through the mists toward them.
And far above, the Weather Per-
son watched them as they climbed.

them.
But Rupert the Cat was brave. and
he would call and say:
Courage, o Boo" and Boo the Cow
would gulp with her mouth and climb
still higher.
And she climbed with her feet, and
she climbed with her horns, and she
climbed with her face, and she climb
ed with her tail, and the peIting rain
Kissed laughingly as it passed.
Suddenly Rupert gave a cry and
stepped gently of the ladder on to
something firm and gray and slatish-
bare, hard floor that stretched dull
and glistening as far as he could see.
And in the floor were holes and holes
and holes, and over it the water swirl
ed and rushed. Through the holes did
it make its way, TO fall to earth in
sheets of gliding rain.
Rupert shivered and helped Boo off
from the ladder; and all around them
the water swirled and gurgled.

mouth and followed slowly.
Outside the shed the rain splashed
everywhere. and the clouds above roll

lanes she went. and from the tall
trees on either side of them the cold
