Republican Nominations
Grown your smallest actions with
the halo of earnestness." j. j. Hill.
Where 1t Leads

At Lafayette, Ind, Thursday, Can
didate Hughes said: THE pathway OF
surrender to force leads only to civil
war in the end
He declared that he stood firmly for
arbitration of industrial disputes. Il
am the friend of labor" he said. who
is not the friend of labor? If a man
is not the friend Of labor he isn't the
friend of America, because we are all
laborers in this Country and we have
all got to go up or down together"
Is that not answer in full to the
Democratic questions that aree being
asked concerning the Republican can
didate's position in the New York con-
troversy? He has not lodged the is
sue. He has not played politics with a
two-edged blade. On that, as every
other question, he believes the people
have a right to understand and be
heard.
But those few sentences go much
deeper into one of the nations most
difficult and dangerous problems.
Today men are asking themselves and
each other. as they read the daily dis
patches, Where is it all to end?" Mr..
Hughes has answered:
1.-THE pathway of surrender to
force leads only to civil war;"
And then he Immediately follows
with the full analysis:
"lf a man is not the friend Of labor
he isn't the friend Of America, be-
cause we are all Iaborers in this
country and we have all got to 90 up
or down together"
"A house divided against itself can
not stand"
Does any one in these days of unions
and strikes and rioting, and bitterness,
and citizens clawing at each others
Threats, ever hear Of the American
Union? You are members; we are
members-are we loyal?
Even if we KNOW we are right,
and are taking measures to secure our
rights, are we true to our brothers in
THE Union if we reject the spirit OF
arbitration?
Governor Hughes says: "The man
who is a true American is one who re-
joices in the victories Of our institu-
lions in giving opportunities in which
everybody shall have a share, not a
selected few, but the diffusion Of pros
perity among the great mass Of people
in this Country"
Should ALL the American people
submit p the domination Of the per-
centage who forget that their first duty
is to the American Union?

UngratefuI Carranza.

It is doubtful If history has ever
witnessed greater migrate than
Venustiano Carranza. Elevated from
the position Of outlaw to the "de facto
government" Of a republic with 49,
100000 population, solely by President
Wilson. and his continuance in Office
made possible only by the encourage
ment and pampering of the Wilson ad-
ministration, Carranza has now shown
his monstrous ingratitude by calling
to account his representatives at New
London and compelling them to en-
tighten the public after Mr.. Wilson
had carefully and adroitly misled II
regarding the scope and purpose OF
the conference.
Carranza has peremptorily ordered
his delegates to refrain from all fur
Their discussion Of the internal affairs
OF Mexico and to conflne their deliber-
atoms to the two subjects which he
has consented to its considering. the
withdrawal OF American troops from
Mexican territory and an extensive
loan to the Carranza government.
So vehement was Carranza's COM
munication that 1t compelled Cabrera,
speaking for himself and his fellow
delegates. publicly to explain that
none Of the internal affairs Of Mexico
had been seriously considered and
that he and his associates had merely
politely answered questions put them
by American delegates. And his ex-
planation completely upsets the myth
so sedulously circulated by Mr.. VIII
sons xs3sady that the conference was

Taft on tho Lusitania Delay

AfteR the sinking Of the Lusitania
and the unlawful drowning Of one
hundred and fifty Americans, the delay
of the Administration in bringing the
sharp issue with Germany to a head
has exposed this country to the charge
Of weakness and vacillation. 1t was
the duty Of the President to withhold
action until reasonable time was CIV
en- for clear perception Of the issue
by the American people. His allowing
the discussion to drag along for a
year, however, subjected the nation to
additional humiliation in the sinking Of
other ships and the drowning Of other
Americana. II within one month after
the Lusitania tragedy. avowal or dis
avowal had been exacted from Ger
many, as it was later. by a threat OF
severance Of diplomatic relations in
case Of avowal. we should have been in
a-much better position than we are to-
day. The proneness Of the, Administra-
ton to write q note well and appropri-
ately phrased. and to deem The incid-
eut closed. has exposed the nation to
ridicule. The Administration canuot
say that It has thus kept us out Of war.
Tor It has itself demonstrated by the
result Of its ultimate demand that It
might earlier have secured the same
result. without the loss Of prestige and
tho actual loss Of lives which the de-
lay has entailed.-ExPreside Taft in

Commencing next Tuesday matinee, Cecil Spooner and her company will be seen in sSadie Love" the Gaiety theatre seven months success.
 The title role, a new stage chArac- ter. will provide Cecil Spooner, asrWell as her company with a splendid line of parts.

LOUISE LOVEEY IN
 THE GRIP OF JEALOUSY a

exciting chase by b1oodhounds of a girl slave is photdgraphed in actual detail The methods of handling the dogs, the way they take up and follow the scent, and the details of tracing and finding the object of their search are pictured in interesting minute ness.
 Of added interest is the fact that the scene was taken during a(drenching rain, driven by a gale of wind. while the trackers were operating in the undeEgrowth and tangled brush of a dense forest. Not once in year, among all the pictures that are pro- duced in the country, does the director of a. company of photoplayers have a downpour of rain to fit a scene just when and how he wants it.
 Rain generally is produced for pie ture purposes by artificial effect--but in s.The Grip of Jealousy only nature itself could supply the theatrical effect that was absolutely essential to a proper showing of the scenes The weather man, rare genius of contrar- ies surprised himself and everyb ody else by sending the de1uge- to drench the photoplayers and lend the realism of Mother Nature to make a most re- markable scene absolutely authentic in every requisite.-Adv.
