THE iNcoNsibERATE BEHAVIOR
OF A CANDIDATE.

Why does Mr.. Hughes insist upon
talking about that old-fashiOned, not
to say ubiquitous" doctrine, the pro-
tective tariff? For nearly the whole
period Of it's industrial existence, the
United States struggled along under
protection. The Democratic party in
1918 came to the relief Of an afflicted
and burdened people.
The Republican Administration (not
on account of the tariff, it is trne)
was overthrown. Before taking over
the reins of government, and for many
years prior to that time, countless
Democratic statesmen had vainly tried
to persuade the American people that
the protective tariff was an iniquity,
a veritable contrivance of devils. 1t
fOstered the trusts, and 1t was an ele-
vatOr Of prices even to the thirty-sev-
enth story and the tower. They prom
Used relief. The poor should be no
longer oppressed; the cost Of living
should be reduced-must be, as the
sure result Of a tariff for revenue
protective only in spots, such as the
Louisiana sugar mills and the Carolina
cotton factories.
Doesn't Mr.. Hughes know what the
Administration did which he is now
attacking? He ought to know. The
Democrats, under the leadership OF
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Underwood, re-
pealed that iniQuity and abominatiOn,
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law-that fOs-
ter mother Of trusts and high prices
and enacted In its place the present
law. Mr.. Hughes knows, Of course,
as every head Of 4 family in America
knows, that the trusts have not yet
been dissolved and that the cost Of
living is higher than ever,-that the
price of everything has reached an un-
heard.of height-but what of It?
What of 1t, indeed? While 1t Is
true that a protective tariff never fail
eJ, under any circumstances, to pro-
tect American industry and American
labor, it is to bs considered that the
war in Europe has upset the plans OF
the present lOw-tariff administration
considerably. Also 1t forms an excel
lent foundation for an alibl. It Is a
very unusual condition.
Now, the obvious thing for Mr..
Hughes to do Is to give the Demo-
Gratis chance to get their tariff on
straight Never mind the patient; let
the doctor experiment. That time
won't come, Of course, until the war
is oyer-accOrdlng to the Democratic
version. In other words the tariff
fOr-revenue doctrine doesn't fit the
conditions; the conditions must be
made to fit the tariff. So why this
disturbance, Mr.. Hughes?-
Besides, when you discuss a little
thing Ike the tariff, do you not know
that Son-in-I.aw McAdOo and the other
statesmen Of the Democratic family
are likely to repeat their accusation
that you are ''pettifogging" "?-Charles-

a Small Nations Right to
! y Control Its Affairs.
laEsIs1fD War PRESSURE
Determined That Americas Sister Re
public Shall Be Permitted to Work
Out Its Problem Of Freedom
! and Self

i tPresideut, Wilson's faith in demo-
scraGy; sdnih The unselfishness OF the
United States in international deal
ings, have been strikingly expressed
in his Mexican policy.
"Ths Presidsnt's demand for Mexico
lls-Justiee."
Tho larger phases Of the relations
>f the United States with Mexico
during President Wilson's Admins
tratien as we'll as an interesting and
complete narrative Of events are pre-
scented authOritstively in the Mexican
chapter Of the Democratic National
Text Book, from which these quota
lions are made:
1.-TWO considerations have animated
the President in the formulation OF
his Mexican policy and have compelled
his adherence to 1t throughout his Ad-
ministration. namely:
1.-THE Arm conviction that all nA-
items, both the weak and the power
sluI, have the InvioiabIe right to control
their internal affairs.
"Ths belief, established upon the
history Of tha world, that Mexico will
never become Z peaceful and law-abid-
Ing neishhss u the United States un-
Ell che has ttsn permitted to achieve
q permanent ard basic settlement Of
hsr Troubles without eutslas lntefer-
enee..
"The Mexican problem in its pres.
ent form has existed for the American
Government ever since our frontier
was extended to the Bio Grande. When
the people maintained the peace It was
because they were forced to do so, and
not hecause justice reigned in the
land. Thus 1t WAS that the history
Of Mexico, like the history OF every
aspiring people, pressed upon Presi-
dent Wilson's consideration the truth
that no permanent good relations
could exist between this great North
ern Republic and the one immediate
" South of us until she had been left
free to put her house in order. how
ever painful that process might be
and whatever the demands 1t might
make upon the forbearance Of the
United States"
"Thers was q powerful pressure for
warAa terrible war-by . wsll-arned
powerful natien against an unarmed,
bankrupt people exhausted by i've
years Of civil strife, but who still re-
tanned enough Of patriotic feeling to
unity them against an invader. 1t
WAS the old, old question whether the
United States should impose peace
on MEXICO; whether for the sake OF
the interests Of few Of its citizens,
II should permanently suppress MeIt-
co.'s upreaching toward freedom and
self-government"
Imperial Valley press., 1916-09-22

The denuding of the diplomatic serv-
ice of men of experience in order
to supply political jobs, as has been
done by Mr.. Wilson, or with his con-
sent, Mr.. Hughes denounces as "a
capital DEMONSTRATING in the good
n,me Of the United States and dam
aging its honor" Nobody" he adds,
''has right to pay political debts
with the good name and honor of the
United States"
Which is clear proof that Mr..
Hughes has not been unmtndful of
the high principles Of government
which must be maintained in order
that this republic shall maintain its
place as a shining example to all ma
tons.

Tha nhlican party has selected
stai lbearer whose utterances
from day to day justify the people
who chose him. Not only does he
bring before the country the short
comings of the Administration that
owes its existence to divided Re-
,publica nism, but his criticism is every
where constructive.
He tells what must be done and
will be done, by the party he repre-
sents to prevent wastefulness and
extravagance in the governmental
expenditures and to put stop to the
vacillating policy that has caused
other nations to believe that the
United States has no intention Of
backing up its demands made in the
interests Of justice and humanity.
Most vulnerable Of all points in the
Democratic armor Is its foreign pol
lev, Primarily this is because Of the
spoils system by which men trained
in the consular and diplomatic serv-
leo through long years. have been
displaced to make room for poll
lticians and friends of politicians,
whose sole claim to preferment was
their service to tho Democratic party.
