The speech of the Republican can.

Hall meeting was in doubt for one

His address was comprehensive. log

occasion. There can be no dispute
as to this Plainly Mr.. Hughes is q
man who knows what he wants when
he wants it," and it is the opinion
OF political authorities who heard him
and who have since read his remarks
that he knows, also, how to get it.
Il II was incumbent upon the Repub
ncan candidate to confine the scope
OF his remarks to the limitations of
the occasion, but his crushing analy-
sis of the shortcomings of the pres
ent administration of the government
is merely an earnest of what the tone
and the contents of his speeches will

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised TO
reduce 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 de-
creased. business was anguish
ing, new enterprises were not
undertaken, instead OF expan-
sion there was curtailment. and
our streets were filled with the
unemployed. What ground is
there for expecting better con-
ditions when the unhealthy
stimulus of the war has spent
it's force and our industries and
working.men are exposed to the
competition of an energized Eu-
rope?
1t is plain that we must have
protective upbuilding policies.

acceptance.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1916
Is III SAFE 10 OPEN THE
SCHOOLS?

With the close proximity oil
infantjie paralysis, the prevail
ence Of typhoid fever and q gen.
erous sprinkiirg Of diphtheria
in The city, would It be wise for
the hoard Of education to open
the schools on September ;?
Pennsylvania's authorities have
forbidden the schools in that
state to open until all danger has
disappeared. while similar ac-
ton is being taken by other
states.
In several cities of West Vir-
ginia the boards of education
have postponed the opening of
their schools, stating that no
chance will be taken to subject
the children to any dangers.
La view of what other cities
cities have done, would it not be
wise to act in like manner here?
Ii is well known that children
are forbidden to purchase rail-
road tickets without presenting
health certificate. and to open
the schools to them and necessi-
tate their associating before all
danger of typhoid fever, diph-
liberia and infantjie paralysis
has passed, looks like inviting
an epidemic.
II is imperative that the
school authorities give this mat
ter serious consideration, and
that no liberties be taken with
any one Of the diseases. We
cannot afford to have an epidenl-
ic when it can easily or even pos
sibly be prevented.

TRUE INWARDNESS OF THE
VERA CRUZ INCIDENT.

In the Spring OF 1914, occur
red the capture of Vera Cruz.
Men from one Of eur ships had
been arrested at Tampico and
had been discharged with an
apology. But our Admiral de-
manded a salute, which was re-
fused. Thereupon the President
went to Congress, asking au-
thority to use the armed forces
of the United States. Without
waiting for the passage of the
resolution, Vera Cruz was seiz-
ed. 1t appeared that shipload
of ammunition for Huerta was
about to enter that port. There
was a natural opposition to this
invasion and a battle occurred
in which nineteen Americans
and over a hundred Mexicans
were killed. This, of course,
was war. Our dead soldiers
were praised for dying like
heroes in a war of service.
Later, we retired from Vera
Cruz, giving up this noble war
fare. We had not obtained the
salute which was demanded.
We had not obtained repara-
ton for affronts. The ship with
ammunition which could not
land at Vera Cruz had soon
landed at another port, and its
cargo was delivered TO Huerta
without interference. Recently
the naked truth was admitted
by a Cabinet officer. We are
now informed that 1--WE did not
go to Vera Cruz to force Huerta
to salute the nag We are
told that we went there to
show Mexico that we were in
earnest In our demand that
Huerta must CO." That is. we
seized Vera Cruz to depose
Huerta. The question of the
salute was a mere pretext.--

ceptance.

WHEAT RESUMES ADVANCE.

Those who thought that wheat had
reached the top have witnessed fur
Their uptErn in prices to new Ugh po-
sition. Following a brief period of
reaction on proht.taking and specula
tive selling for turn, the advance
was resumed with vigor and some
traders who went short at the wrong
time found the experience costly, Buy
ing was aggressive from the outset
last week and. though vast amount
of long wheat came on the market,
the December delivery at Chicago
quickly touched s1.551a and Septem-
Der went to S1.51 Sd These figures
represent gains of fully Acc ever the
quotations prevailing before the great
rise started less than two months ago.
The early high levels were not dup
Heated, but prices showed net adj
vance OF several cents for the week
and some intrests ar predicting two

In view OF the continued sensation
oil crop reports, the spectacular rise
iii wheat is not surprising. On many
previoGs occasions the complaints of
deterioration have been grossly ex-
aggerated, but this year the crop has
actually sustained heavy loss and
the recent government statement more
than confirmed the private claims of
sdamage. an now concede that rust
and blight have caused great INJURY
to spring wheat and each week estl-
mates OF yield are revised downward,
the Price Current now forecasting OH.
" about $4,000 900 bushels for the

Canadian harvest as low as 100000,
900 bushels, and by many the supply
and demand situation is regarded as
one of the strongest ever experienc
ed The fact that worlds visible
stocks are much larger than a veal
ago loses much of its Significance
when ii is considered that the com
bined wheat yield in this country
may nor exceed 600,0OO.O00 bushel

IN PREPAREDNESS THE AD-
MINISTRATION HAS FOL-
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the Administra-
ton has followed, not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were first described as
nervous and excited" Only
about year and half ago we
were told that the question of
preparedness was not press
ing. one; that the country had
been misinformed. Later, under
the pressure OF other leader
ship, this attitude was changed,
The Administration, IT was
said, had learned omething"
and 1t made a belated demand
for an increased army Even
then, the demand was not prose-
cuted consistently and the pres
sure exerted on Congress with
respect to other Administrative
measures was notably absent,
We are told that the defects
revealed by the present mobili-
cation are due to the system"
But 1t was precisely such plain
defects that under the, constant
warnings of recent years, with
the whole world intent on mai-
tary concerns. should have been
studied and rectified. The AID.
ministration has failed to dis
charge its responsibilities. Ap,
parently, It is now seeking to
meet political exigencies by its
naval program. But 1t has i'm
posed upon the country an in
