CALDWELL

and left undone, the record shows him
steadily dominated by political ex-
pediency.
These facts, and many others like
them, have forced me to see that what
Mr.. Wilson says is no sign of what he
has done, or of what he will do. The
one thing his record shows is that
what he stands for now he is not
likely to stand for long. do not care
what his platform or his campaign
declarations may be, because the COM
mon experience of us all has taught
us that to him they are simply
| "molaSscs to catch flies"
Hughes, ON the other hand, is a man
OF his word. His record as governor
! of New York proves that. Itshows
HON to be honest, fearless, and free
from the domination of special in
terests and corrupt politicians. So
far as the conservation policies are
concerned both what he said and
what he did could have hardly been
better. am confident that under
him these policies will be safe. He is
a strong man and will dodge no moral
issues. and he will give us an honest
and an efficient administration.
AS a Progressive | believe in Ma
Journalism So does Hughes. | am
certain that under Hughes the pro-
gressive policies will fare better than
under Wilson, and that the safety,
honor. and welfare of the country
will be in mmeasurably surer hands.
cannot vote for Wilson because I
can not trust him. He does not do
; what he says. Hughes does There

wor and vote for him.

constant incubus which should be re-
moved by legislative action.
THE restrictions which are placed
about the advancement of post office
employees should be removed by the
civil service classification of all post
masters, by recruiting the clerical and
administrative force of the department
from the post office, by providing for the
promotion or transfer of the officers and
employees of one post office to any othe~
post office, and for the interchange of
positions between the post office serv-
ice and the railway mail service. In
other words. conditions should be
brought about under which it will be
possible for the lowest paid postal en-
ploye anywhere in the country to gain
experience of all kinds in the great
postal workshops and to look forward
to the possibility of becoming postmas-
ter at the largest office.
These measures. being in the interest
OF the employees as well as of the gov
ernment. are to be desired for the direct
and important benefits that will flow
from them, and also for the reason that
the best results in this great co-opera-
tive endeaHor can only be secured by
such fair and generous treatment of
the working force as will insure their
loyalty and ambitious effort"

night. 1t. indeed. other action Is not
taken before that time.
1t was pointed out last night that In
the present European war many OF the
great drives had been made largely for
the purpose Of reaching the capitals of
the respective nations. wherein the very
life OF the nation is centered: that in
this age Of aeroplanes and other great
instruments, which set
time and distance at nought, particular
forms OF protection are needed. and
that Washington has already once been
in the hands of an enemy.
In view of these facts it is believed
that such movement will receive
strong support, not only from the citi-
zens Of the District OF Columbia and
the persons occupying the territory be-
tween Washington and the Atlantic
coast, but that national support will be
given. Special steps probably will be
asked for protection against aircraft.

that the naval laboratory site has not

Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,

North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,

Texas within 200 miles of the coasts, and
the cities in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois

Canada.
In the statement given out by the gen.

THE following cities do not fall within
the prescribed area and their distance
from the borders Of the country or their
