NEW MINISTER'S 5 POLICY VERY
 UNCERTAIN

| PEKING, Aug. 19. - Baron Hayas. l his designation us Japanese minister to Picking, succeeding Xxi Hioki, the retiring minister, has provoked wide comment, because of Baron Hayashis high rank in the diplomatic service. He will be accredited here as minis ter. However he is an ambassador in the Japanese foreign service, and will retain that rank and the salary of an ambassador.
 Japanese newspapers have generally indicated that Baron Hayashi will adopt a conciliatory policy towards China, and is being sent here for the purpose of harmonizing the relations between the two neighboring coun- tries. This view is not generally shared by the Chinese press, which predicts that Baron Hayashi will even tually be much firmer in his dealings with China than his predecessor was
 Warning factions in China have been advised rather generally by the press to reconcile their differences, and present an undivided front to any possible foreign aggression. Political leaders are warned that a continuance of the present internal strife will re- duce the young republic to complete political and economical tutelage of Japan"
 The published digest of the new Russo-Japanese treaty has thrown gloom over the Chinese foreign office The new treaty is regarded as a dis tinct recognition by Russia of Japan's special position in the Far East. -'o:-

shrewd and as far sighted as any Of

program of government would enable
the voters to make comparisons be-
tween the Presidents promises. Such
comparison must not be permitted,
and so Mr.. Hughes pussyfoots over a
German-Wall Street trail toward the
White House.
Republican confidence in the in
herent stupidity of the American peo-
pie attained its highest fulfillment in
Elihu Roots speech in Carnegie Hall
last night. Even Mr.. Hughes has
never reached such heights Of con-
tempt for American intelligence.
Sneering at the claim that President
Wilson has kept us out of war, Mr..
Root said:
Never since Columbus sighted
San Salvador has there been a time
when it has been so easy for America
to keep out of war by doing nothing
as it has been during the great con-
flict now raging in the Old World"
Such statement as that takes it
for granted not merely that the
American people are fools, but that
they are idiots. 1t assumes that they
are not only ignorant, but that their
brains are closed to all possible chan
nels of information and knowledge.
Mr.. Root might as we'll have told
them that there was no war in Eu-
rope, and have told them that the re-
ports of a war were the sensational
inventions Of licentious press in
spired by a ribald government in
Washington.
Yet this is the kind of campaign
that Republican candidates and
speakers have conducted since the
night that Mr.. Hughes delivered his
speech Of acceptance. 1t has no par
allel in American history. Never be-
fore was Presidential candidacy
presented to the country on so low
and contemplate an intellectual
plane. Is it surprising that President
Wilson is growing stronger every day
and that Mr.. Hughes is growing
weaker? How could it be otherwise?

POLITICS AND WAR

II have been in every capital in
Europe except Petrograd and on
every battle 'front.'" says w. G.. Shep-
ard, the great war correspondent.
81 have seen the horrors of war and
the results of war, the mental, the
moral, the physical and material
wrecks caused by war. l have seen
the efforts of the Allies to draw the
United States into war with Germany,
of Germany to draw us into war with
England. There were times over
there when we held our breath lest
the United States be dragged into
the struggle, and war seemed the
only way out.
But always sane, sound, steady,
the United States came through. 1t
was magnificent thing to see from
our point Of vantage in Europe. 1t
made one thrill to realize that the
United States was his own country.
Now, when I return home, l find
an election campaign under way. I
hear men say that we have peace
without honor. We, in the European
capitals, who saw our government es-
cape the war traps, felt no loss of
honor. We were always able to look
the other fellow in the eye and be
proud. No one over there ever seri-
ously charged us with loss of honor,
and men are highly sensitive to such
things over there.
1--WE were proud of American san
ity and of American craftsmanship
and that cool, calm reckoning of the
American people which prevented
them from being stampeded.
1T was fine, thrilling thing to be
an American in European capitals
and to know that in our own capital
at Washington there were men as

WHY WILSON GROWS STRONGER


The Republican national campaign
is based upon two theories. First,
that the American people are fools;
and second, that money can elect a
President.
These are the guiding principles of
the Republican managers. The bust
ness Of exploiting the American peo-
pie as fools has been intrusted to Mr..
Hughes and the other Republican
speakers. The business of electing a
President with money is in the hands
o. le trusted lieutenants of the Old
@ lrd.
NOf Republican money the supply is
inexhaustible. Every reactionary in
terest, every financial and corpora
ton element that fattens off privi-
lege and partnership with govern
ment, is pouring its contributions
into the Republican campaign chest
with a lavishness that would have
won the envy of Mark Hanna. What
ever can be done with money in this
campaign, the Hughes managers are
in position to do it.
In other respects the Republican
campaign adheres rigidly to the doc
trine that the American people are
ignorant and uniformed, that they
do no thinking for themselves and
are sufficiently credulous to believe
anything that a Republican orator
tells them.
Mr.. Hughes is the great apostle of
this doctrine. All his campaign
speeches draw their inspiration from
the belief that If he attacks the
President viciously and vindictively,
it is not necessary that he should
have issues or policies or program
of his own. His notion is that the
average American voter is too stupid
to ask what would really happen IL
President Wilson were defeated and
Mr.. Hughes were elected. The thing
to do, in Mr.. Hughes's opinion, is to
infiame popular passion and preju-
dice against the President without al
lowing the country to know what a
Hughes Administration would do or
what it would mean. To present a

How Business Has Gained.

Here is just glimpse at percen-
tages, prepared by expert statisticians
that prove what the Wilson Admins
trati0n has done for the people:
Increase in bank deposits, 6S per
cent; money in circulation, % per
cent. stock of gold In United States,
34.1 per cent; foreign commerce. 52.7
per cent. balance Of trade in favor
of United States, 2S7.6 per cent.
agricultural exports, AL per cent.
manufactured exports, 1876 per cent.
railway revenues, 1915 per cent. value
of general crops and live stock, l2.4
per cent; value of wheat crop, 67.5
per cent. output Of pig iron, 30 per
cent; production of steel, 35.5 per
cent. farm lands, 1871 per cent. men
employed in manufacturing, 23.2 per
cent. wages paid In manufacturing,
41.5 per cent; capital employed in
manufacturing 300 per cent; value
Of manufactured products, 41.2 per
cent.
So 1t may be seen that all lines of
industry have profited under the great
wave Of prosperity that the Demo
cratic administration has wrought.
AND THE MUNITIONS BUSINESS
COMPRISES ONLY ONE PER CENT.
OF THE TOTAL OF MANUFAC-
TURED PRODUCTS.
Is It the part Of wisdom, therefore,
to gamble with prosperity such as
this?
VIII the American voter dare to
throw away sure thing, on the
chance that his return may be the
enormous cost Of wars poverty and
devastation?
