Sailing Directions.

The Chicago platform Is the chart
upon which the Republican course will
be shaped during the campaign and
during the next four years. In
Hughes's speech Of acceptance and in
the other speeches which he has made
or which he will make before Novem-
Der are the sailing directions from the
master Of the craft.
Mr.. Hughes places the emphasis Of
his canvass upon our foreign rela-
| tions-as they should be and as they
are. He will doubtless find occasion.
as the campaign progresses. to speak
Of our foreign relations as they were
as they were when Seward or Blaine
or Hay or Elihu Root conducted them.
There are some who seem to think
that Americans generally are indif-
ferent or ignorant when foreign affairs
are under discussion and it will re-
quire a veritable campaign of educa-
ton to stir the voters to action this
year upon such topic. We do not
agree with this view. We think that
Americans are more sensitive as to
the foreign relations Of their country
than upon almost any other point of
national consciousness. 1t Is true
diplomacy as spoken in the chan
celleries Of Europe-but they are
keenly alert to a point of national
honor; and to them "a strong foreign
policy is a shibboleth which most of
them can readily translate into terms
of words or of action, If necessary.
This class Of Americans-and they
are vastly in the majority-have keen
ly felt the humiliations Of the past
| three years. None Of them Is too
proud to fight" though some Of them
is anxious to do so. But all Of them
know that-somehow and somewhere
in the last three years we have lost
something from our international life:
and most Of them know that we can
not regain what has been lost except
by a radical change in the manner of
| our foreign intercourse. That change
in manner is the affirmative promise
Of Mr.. Hughess candidacy. Upon
such a promise-as -o~ards this and
| other continents-he mas gone to the
people. The response which greeted
his opinions as voiced on the occasion
Of his notification meeting in New
York is echoed in every State where
he has since journeyed and will be re-
echoed as he makes his way about the
country.

spiraciss hs has certainly sueessdsd
nobIy in withstandins his preJudiees.
Il was he who ~ counsel for tho
legislative Gas Committee had most to
do with securing 80 cent gas for New
York. 1t was he who as counsel for
the insurance investigation forced the
splendid reform Of life Insurance law
and methods in this state, and to some
extent throughout the country. He
did both things against the practically
united opposition Of the money power.
"Governor Hughes drafted the law
forbiddins corporations to contribute
to campaign funds.
"For his distinguished and con-
spieuous service and success in secur.
ina better control Of great trust con-
spiracies' Governor Hughes need not
fear comparison with any man Of his
time, however exalted in place or how
ever heavily armed with political
power"
And again
New York World, May II. 1910.
"He (Mr. Hushes) dictated no
nominations, controlled no convention,
trafficked in no patronage; made no
bargains with ffiee-hoIders or office
seekers. He has rewarded nobody for
supporting him and punished nobody
for opposing him. What influence he
has welded over public opinion has
come through his appeals to the vot-
ers themselves"
Mr.. Hughes must always be his own
man and the World knows it,
1t will have difficulty in going back
upon it's editorial statement Of July 5,
1910. in which it presents Mr.. Hughes
as "a MAN FITTED FOR ANY Of
FiCE OF PUBLIC TRUST"

Governor Curtis Enforcement at Old
Orchard Beach.
(Rumford Falls Times)

(RumfOrd Falls TlmeS)
Our information from all over
Maine is to the effect that never be-
fore. not even during the Plaisted
administration, has the Prohibitory
law been nullified to such an extent
as it is at the present time. The
fact that the picture of Governor
Curtis is in a conspicuous place in
every rum shop in the State, tells
the whole story.
In his campaign speeches. Curtis
declared that he had a personal dis
certainly making good his pre- cleo
ton promises and we do not wonder
that the rum sellers give his picture
a place Of honor in their shops.
But what we wish to comment on
is the fact that notification thas be-
come SO customary that at Old Or
chard beach. liquor is being served
in one of the principal cafes. At
Abisalih's Sea Shore Cafe last Sun
day, on the bottom of the dinner
card was the following: Lager and
ale served with meals, Is cents a
bottle"
Just consider this matter. In the
State Of Maine where the Governor
and the sheriffs are under oath to
enforce the laws against liquor selling,
the proprietor of cafe, where hum
dreds of people from all over the
State visit every Sunday, ignores the
law and includes in his menu, lager
beer and ale!
Mr.. Abisalih advertises everything
new and up-to-da In announc-
ing his willingness to serve liquor at
his tables, he is not only putting
over something entirely new but he
is several years ahead in his up-to-
dateness.

Those Wilson "RepubIicans,"

One Of those Wilson Republicans"
(from New York) came into the Jour-
nal Business Office the other day and
demanded to know why this news
paper Is for Hughes. He told the
business manager that he had no use
for Hughes because that gentleman as
governor Of New York did not do
anything" This New York tourist,
temporarily stopping in Augusta,
seemed to have forgotten that news
papers are as likely to know a public
mans record and to have as many
facilities for refreshing their men,
ories, as have those who opposed
Governor Hughes because he sup
pressed race track gambling and much
moro Of Gotham's cussedness. But ha
was true type Of the Wilson Re
publican" the men who hate Hughes
because he has done more for moral
progress than any man Of his genera
ton. This visiting gentleman fairly
represents such opposition to Hughes
as the New York World.
On July 25. 1916, the World pro-
pounded ten questions for Mr..
Hughes. a silly pretense to which we
replied at that time. To further
show tho honesty (?) Of the Worlds
position. let US repeat some Of those
questions:
''why is Wall Street for Mr.. Hughes,
''Why are the great financial interests
that are still plotting to substitute a
central bank for the Federal Reserve
system for Hughes3
why are tho tariff monopolists for
'Why are the trusts for Hughes?" and
etc., etc.
The World fears that the great
forces Of capital have bought and
paid for Mn Hughes. No good Demo-
crat should vote for him.
