Hughes Beat Him To It.

In speaking to the young Democrats
who tro1 down the grass at Shadow
Lawn the other day, President Wilson
asserted that if Hughes is elected there
viii. be war. cam / not right" he
asked, 'Fthat we must draw the con-
clusion that if the Republican party is
put in power at the next election our
foreign policy will be radically
changed?n To this we answer, un-
hesitatingly, eyes" But that change
will not mean war. That change will
be of such a nature that war will be
utterly impossible-beeause the change
of policy which Hughes will .naugu-
rate will serve notice upon other coun-
tries that the United States is back
upon it's old footing in international
affairs, self-respecting at home and de-
manding and compelling respect abroad.
There is only one choice as against
peace, and that is war; argued Will
son, as he pressed his charge against
the Republican party. "Some of the
supporters Of that party he went on
to say, outspokenly declare that they
want war, so that the certain prospect
of the success of the Republican party
is that we shall be drawn, in one form
or another, into the ENVIRONMENTS of
the European war;
The president doubtless thought that
he had found new issue here. But
Hughes beat him to it. July 81, when
Mr.. Hughes formally accepted his NOM
nation, he exercised that almost I'M
canny provision which has enabled him
to achieve so many successes before the
people and he answered Woodrow Will
son two months before the president
opened his mouth and put his foot in
it. Hughes then said:
In dealing with foreign nations, if
we are to retain our self respect and
protect our citizens, the first essential
is that when we speak it shall be un-
derstood that we mean what we say.
On February 10 President Wilson is
sued his strict accountability note. On
March 20 the Falaba was torpedoed.
1T he had then made good his words,
If he had Immediately held Germany
to strict accountability, not one of the
subsequent sinkings would have taken
place. The Lusitania, the Arabic, the
Persia, the Sussex and the other YES
sells would be afoat, and 1890 men,
women and children would be alive.
They lost their lives because President
Wilson did not venture to call to ac-
count by direct challenge and resist
ance imperial Germany. He did not
dare to make his words good''
This does not mean war-even as
contradistinguished from the "peace''
which Mr.. Wilson and his policy SYM
bollze. 1t means real and honorable
peace, the peace which does not have
to be catalogued or described to make
people understand it.

TT LOOKED ITS BEST.
Eagles Ball Room Was in Gala Dress
For Lady Eagles Dance Tuesday
Night - Witches Present.


Two hundred dancers thronged the
Eagles Club ballroom Tuesday night
on the occasion of the opening of the
Lady Eagles social season with a Hal.
lowe ZEN ball.
The ballroom with its plain white
panels afforded an effective background
to the artistic and colorful decorations
of autumnal reds, yellows and browns
OF the sumach, bittersweet and oak
branches used.
Every one of the many panels served
the purpose of background for silhou-
cites in black of witches, cats, witch
kettles, candles, owls and other goblin
esque figures which the ingenuity of
Mrs. Laura Obertin devised and, under
her direction, the other members of the
arrangements committee of which Mrs.
John Schmitt is chairman, carried out.
The figures of the witches were of es-
pecially good design and surely any
one with face like these, trusty
broomstick to ride upon and the life
and malicious activity displayed in the
pose would be able to do all the fortune
telling and prognosticating that any
witch could.
Every one of the inverted ceiling
lights were turned into grinning orange
colored JACKIE LANTERNS by the use of
paper faces, also designed by Mrs.
Obertin, while the side lights were en-
cased in miniature JACKIE LANTERNS.
Other members of the committee in
charge were the Mines. G. G. Ryan.
Paul Haubrick. George Hensel, Bertha
Otto, John Barber, Robert Messmer
and Edward Ellison.
At about nine O'Clock the Schmitt
and Krah orchestra played the opening
dance and from then until eleven when
the dancers adjourned to the rathskel-
lar for supper and a cabaret entertain
ment, the dancing went merrily on.
At 1880 the party returned to the ball
room and danced until two O'Clock
The proceeds Of the affair will be turn
ed over to the auxiliary of the Eagles.
