always ON the Job.
Those who are concerned to know
what Mr.. Hughes would have done
had he been In Mr.. Wilson's place
may rest assured he would not have
done as Mr.. Wilson has. And that
Is answer enough.
Mr.. Hughes is not only going direct
TO the public, but the public is going
direct to him. A genuine American
ffty-fftyi
President Wilson's alarm clock Is
ringing at o'clock these mornings.
He can reach out of bed and turn 1t
on the morning Of March 8.
Postmaster General Burleson Is too
foxy a politician to adopt for his de-
partment the McAdoo rule forbidding
Treasury department employees parti-
cipadng In politics. Mr.. Burleson re-
a1izes that postmasters are entitled
to some exercise for the money.
There are no strings or mental res
ervadons to the public pledges of ad-
ministrative reform given by Charles
h. Hughes. His record as governor
of New York guarantees the fulfill
ment Of every promise.
Democrats are now convinced that
Charles Evans Hughes is a warm pro-
position.
1t is gratifying, indeed, to find that
Mr.. Wilson still stands on the suffrage
question where he stood at the begin
ming of his administration. He has
changed on about everything else.-

It strikes one that instead of wildly
hustling for the State of Maine, Vance
Mccormick might do better work by
taking his wrecking crew to the West
to repair the Democratic bridges that
are being dynamited by Justice
Hughes.
According to the weeks latest work
OF fiction, the Democratic Campaign
Book, the wage-earners Of the country
received during the Wilson Admins
tration $3,OOO,OO0,OOO more than they
received under Taft. And all 1t cost
them to keep something in the dinner
pail was $4,000, 100000 more.
At the annual meeting Of postmas.
tiers in Washington recently, the first
assistant postmaster-general lauded
the postal savings system. That must
have been bitter pill for Postmaster
General BurlesOn, who sat on the same
platform with his assistant. When the
postal savings bill was passed, Mr..
Burleson, then a Congressman from
Texas, voted against it. Every vote
cast against it was cast by a Demo-
crat Not one Democratic Congress
man voted for it. Yet President Will
son says the Republican party has not
had new idea in thirty years. Whose
Idea was it?
1t was the instinct of lawyer for
Hughes to support his damning charg-
es against Wilson, by calling Wilson's
own secretary Of state as a witness
to prove them.
Mr.. Hughes says there should be
drm dealing in Mexican affairs. May
be so; but we have had enough Of
&he firm Of Wilson, Carranza & Co.
The impression is growing at the
White House that Mr.. Hughes is delib-
erately unfriendly. Look out for notes.
If those Democratic notifiers put off
their notifying much longer they may
find Mr.. Wilson in no mood to accept.

Tho High Cost Of Ships.
(London Economist)

Extraordinary figures have recently
been fetched by steamers. especially
smaller and older steamers, that the
admiralty does not covet for its own
USE For instance, a small steamer Of
$50 tons gross, built in 1904. and suitable
only for the coasting and continental
trade changed hands short time back
at ELS 900. the price working out at ov-
er f40 a ton gross and G100 ton net.
In peace times, If she had sold for 912
a ton, she would have made good
enough bargain for her owners, SO
that the rise In her value is quite fan
tastic. Under such conditions, owners
are naturally tempted to sell their
property and keep the money by them
to be invested in shipping when prices
fall. So long as the ships are not sold
out Of the country, no objection can be
taken, and 1t is significant that the big
feet Of the London & Northern Com
pany was recently sold outright at a
price that gave the shareholders a pre-
MUM Of $50 per cent. on their holding,
and left enough over to compensate the
managers to the extent Of f250,000.

OF
GARDINER A R E
MUCH GRATIFIED

The Republicans of of Gardiner are
State and local campaign, the success
Of which was so magnificently cele-
brated Thursday night, their opponents
admitting ''it was a good job well
done" Representatives lect Edwin Ellis
is warmly commended for his skillful
craftsmanship of the Republican city
committee, and it is admitted gener-
ally that the marching club, made up
Of the best material in town, was a
strong factor in shaping the end Hon.
o. B. Clason, president of the Hughes
and Fairbanks Club, probably wore his
white pants on every club appearance,
and DR.. w. o. Cobb proved a very eff
ficient parade marshal
Now what shall be the end Of this
forceful organization?
Major John w. Berry, chairman Of
the club executive committee, believes
it should be continued as a permanent
Republican organization for future
effective work, affording with its 900
members an admirable nucleus for
party results.
To this end he suggests that the club
and its friends give a banquet in Oc-
tober and that our new senators and
congressmen-elect be invited as guests
and speakers for the evening.
The idea is certainly original, ap-
pealing and satisfactory and a move
ment along these lines will be inaug-
urated at the next regular club meet
ing Tuesday, Sept. 10.

THE STRAND.
Remember the Special Matinee Today
at 2.30

A story Of the plains, in the days
when Indian attacks were a real men
ace, is "The Bugle Call" Triangle
drama starring Willie Collier, Jr., and
to be seen at the Strand Theatre last
time today.
Young Collier. 14-year-old son Of the
famous Broadway star. has the role
at Fort Mcpherson, frontier army
post. and loved by every one in the
place. He has one ambition in life,
and that is to become good soldier:
and one military achievement he al
ready has learned-to play the army
bugle. 1t is only the good soldier in
him that makes him tolerate the Idea
that his father is to marry again. for
he cannot conceive Of any one good
enough to take his dead mothers place.
Soon after the wedding his father is
called to quell an uprising Of the Sioux
Indians. forty miles to the south, and
his new mother is left in his charge.
Then the fort itself Is attacked by In
dams Billy, who has hidden his step
mother in a cave in the hillside, sud
denly sees that the outnumhered gar
rison Is about to surrender. Bethink-
ing himself of his bugle and, hoping to
mislead the Indians into believing his
father and the regiment are returning
he blows the charge from distant
knoll, with consequences that are ex-
citing and satisfactory.-Adv.
