Hughes Breaks His Silence.

Justice Hughes telegram to the Chicago re-
publican convention, accepting the nomination
for president is sufficient answer to those who
have called into question his position on the most
vital Of the questions today before the people,
that OF Amercanism. His words are temperate,
but of such earnestness as will carry conviction
that here is an American whose purpose will not
be misunderstood His criticism Of the course Of
the administration in its foreign policy is not
that of partisan. but Of citizen who keenly
feels the humiliation that has come to Americans
by reason Of the weakness Of the president and
his cabinet. The charge that politics was put be-
fore patriotism, that party interest had the first
call over public interest, and that meddling has
ended in muddling will sum up democratic ae-
complshment in the State department In this
Mr.. Bryan must share with Mr.. Wilson, his
resignation not serving to fully exculpate him as
principal.
To the re-establishment Of American prestige
at home and abroad, peace with honor, and the
dignity Of great nation upheld, the republican
party is devoted, and its nominee for the presi-
dency has declared himself so unreservedly and
unequivocaly in harmony with this purpose of
tie party that his stand is not again likely to be
brought into question. Mr.. Hughes will doubt
less discuss other issues as the campaign pro-
crosses, but the world knows now where he stands
as an American.

Ending the Coroner.

Judge Day Of the Douglas county district
court has held that the law abolishing the Office
of coroner with the end Of the term Of the pres
ent incumbent is good one, constitutional and
valid This decision will be approved by all save
the coroner himself, who brought the suit in hope
Of overturning the law and perpetuating himself
in an Office that has been found to be useless. In
ancient times the coroner, perhaps was neces-
sary adjunct Of government and necessary to the
proper administration Of the law Development
Of the machinery Of government, and especially
Of the law, has reached point where the office is
no longer OF service and may even become a
hndrance in the solving Of questions that come
within its scope. The county attorney and the
sheriff are the officers who properly should per-
form the functions now allotted to the corner and
after the first Of January next they will This is
one more steptn the direction Of more efficient
government.

Carranza clustering Again,

Mexican matters have been slightly neglected
by the public for several days, because of more
important business elsewhere, but the trouble
across the Rio Grande is likely to be given some
serious attention almost any time now. The Car
ranzistas are supporting their demand for the
withdrawal Of American troops in true bandit
fashion. While guilty Of no overt act. and
friendly enough on the surface, the de facto gov
ernment is at least cognizant Of II not actually
an accessory to anti-Ameriean agitation that il
left unchecked may prove serious. President
Wilson is understood to have tentatively sus-
gested mediation, although this has not officially
been promulgated. Carranxa has met the sug-
gestion with his customary bluster, and with no
sign Of willingness to assist in bringing the af-
fairs Of Mexico TO settlement. Mr.. Wilson
should advise his friend that he would better not
push his people too far in their renewed offenses
against Americans. Mediation would be great
deal better for all hands than Intervention.

Omaha, June 10.-To the Editor Of The

article in The Bee of June 9, in which At
torney Mcclure for the Welfare board is
quoted as saying: 1.-THE justice courts If

As am one Of the justices Of the peace OF
this city, beg the space in your esteemed
paper to make a brief reply to his charge,
insofar as it may be construed as applying
to my court. have too much respect for
myself to be accused of being "a blot upon

tleman worthy Of the position which he

Quoted my court SO as to be "a blot upon
our civilization
Mr. Mcclure has never been in my court
but one time, and at that time he expressed
himself as well pleased with my judgment
and ruling. He knows nothing Of the BUSH
ness transactions in my court. neither does
he know my method of conducting business.
Those who come before me recognize the
fact that they are in q court room. and thnt
arr the Judge do not handle. and never
have handled. any collection Ageney business.
II IS a well known fact that I am opposed
to the accumulation of costs for either rich
or poor to pay. In fact. l have often re-
mitted my fees in cases. The wage Garner
and the poor know me too well to say that
my court is "a blot upon our civilization"
Be honest and fair, Mr.. Mcclure: speak
the truth and shame the devil.

Price Maintenance Bills.

The merry war raging between manufactur-
ing interests and leagued retailers on the ques-
ton Of price maintenance legislation by congress
enters q new and interesting stage Two years
of aggressive agitation and national-wide propa-
ganda under the auspices Of the American Fair
Trade league served to center attention on the
proposed legislation known as the Stephens bill
Under its provisions manufacturers Of trade
marked or special brand articles may dictate the
price at which such goods shall be sold at retail
In trade circles, where price maintenance holds
favor, the principle Of the bill secured endorse
ment and support. Some retailers regarded the
bill as jughandle affair. It gave manufacturers
great power over retailers, obligating them to
obey price orders regardless Of local conditions
or needs. Active opposition manifested itself
through the National Retail Dry Goods associa-
ton, which vigorously assailed the open and con-
cealed objects Of the measure.
At this stage OF the vocal battle Senator
Borah presented measure designed to protect
manufacturer and retailer and give the forgotten
consumer fighting chance for his money. 1t
legalixes price maintenance under specified con-
ditions, provides for federal license and intro
duces federal price regulation in these words:
M reoofsi AfAos eommissioh may On Ns Wv"
initiative. shall upon q petition In writing BY esen
Asd with such commission Ak and establish fair and
reasonable price OF which article coming under the
terms Of this act shall be sold and shall for that
pose have TO a records books papers, accounts
secret processes and formulas Of the proprietor
facturer producer Of such article which said commits
sion shall deem In order To enable to Ak and
establish such price; that price fixed and estab
hsd shall mot Be raised increased to do; that
Increasing the price that Axed BY the commission
shal BE- punished By fine Of not than $1,000
Imprisoned lees than six months both such fine
and imprisonment. -.
The sweeping character of the powers pro-
posed to be vested in the trade commission must
seriously embarrass manufacturers and chill en-
thusiasm for the original Stephens bill. Object
ing retailers, on the other hand, appear more
than satisfied with the outcome Of their strategy
and the insinuatins comeback Of the Borah
"joker"
