THE NATION is SHOCKING
LY UNPREPARED.

1t is apparent that we are
shockingly unprepared There is
no room for controversy on this
point since the object lesson on
the Mexican border. All our
available regular troops Qess, l
believe, than 10000 are there
or in Mexico, and as these have
been deemed insufficient the en-
tire national guard has been or
dered out. That IS, we are sum-
mOning practically all our mOv-
able military forces in order to
prevent bandit incursiOns. In
view Of the warnings of the past
three years, it is ineXcusable
that we should find ourselves in
this plight. For our faithful
guardsmen, who with a fine pa
triOtism responded to this call
and are bearing this burden, 1
have nothing but praise. But l
think it little short Of absurd
that we should be compelled to
call men from their shops, their
factories, their offices and their
professions for such purpose.
This, however, is not all. The
units of the national guard were
at peace strength, which was
only about one-half the required
strength. 1t was necessary to
bring in recruits, for the most
part raw and unframed. Only a
small percentage Of the regiments
recruited up to war strength will
have had even a years training
in the national guard, which at
the maximum means hun
dred hours of military drill, and,
on the average, means much less.
Men fresh from their peaceful
emplOyments and physically un-
prepared have been hurried to
the border for actual service.
They were without proper equip
ment, without necessary sup
plies; suitable conditions Of trans
pOrtation were not provided. Men
with dependent families were
sent, and conditions which should
have been well known were dis
covered after the event. And
yet the exigency, comparatively
speaking, was not a very grave
one. 1t involved nothing that
could not readily have been fore
seen during the past three years
Of disturbance and required only
a modest talent for organization.
That this administration while
pursuing its course in Mexico
should have permitted such con-
ditiOns to exist is almost in
crodibIe.-From Mr.. Hughes
Speech of Acceptance.

The President himself has tried to
appropriate for his own advantage
the sentiment OF America first" The
Democrats have tried to make his sup
port an act of piety by adopting
"Thank God for Wilson as u slogan,
Mr.. Hughes, with rare courage, frank
ness and penetration, is exposing the
fiimsy foundation for the claims of
WilsOnian infallibility. He is laying
bare record of extravaganza, par
tisanship, sectionalism, incompetence,
wrongheadedness, vaccillatiOn and in
sincerity which destroys the attempt
to make joss out of the President.
The Democrats must come out of their
ecstatic trance and defend their stew
Lrdship. The President is to be put
on the stump. We are to hear some
thing beside Delphic prose poems

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to re-
duce the cost Of living. This
they have failed to do. But they
did reduce the opportunities of
making a living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed in
this country under the new tariff
prior to the outbreak of the war.
Production had decreased, busi-
ness was languishing, new enter
prises were not undertaken. in
stead OF expansion there was
curtailment and our streets were
filed with the unemployed. What
ground is there for expecting
better conditions when the un-
healthy stimulus of the war has
spent it's force and our industries
and workingmen are exposed to
the competition Of an energized
Europe?
1t is plain that we must have
protective upbuilding policies

FAVoRs WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Some time ago a consideration
of our economic conditions and
tendencies, of the position of
women in gainful occupations,
of the nature and course Of the
demand, led me to the conclu-
sion that the granting of suf-
frage to women is inevitable.
Opposition may delay, but in
my judgment cannot defeat this
movement. If women are to
have the vote, as l believe they
are, it seems to me entirely
clear that in the interest of the
public life of this country the
contest should be ended prompt
ly. l favor the vote for women.

Acceptance.

OF course President Wilson has a
perfect right to change his mind as
often as he pleases. but that is quite
different from rcpudiating distinct
promises made to get votes If the
pledges on which he rode into the
