All Honor to Mr.. Hughes.

Charles L. Hughes will have no oc-
casion to sit In judgment upon himself
relative to his course in the campaign
recently ended. Even though he loses,
the defeat will bring to him no suspi-
cion Of political reputation or in
difference. He stood for sound, safe
and honorable principle. The fact that
some of the Republican states did not
support him Is to their dlscredit, not
to his. 1t Is because they were more
ruled by the thought Of freedom from
grave foreign entanglements in the
past than by the thought of what was
best for the future Of the nation
more governed by their sympathy for
a great man because of the extraor-
dinarily heavy burdens he had been
compelled to bear than by desire to
have great principles triumph, how
ever important they weighed in the
calculations even Of independent
voters In large industrial and financial
commonwealth s.-Syracuse Journal.

KEEN MEMORY FOR FACES
Colonel Roosevelt Remembered, After
Two Years, Man Whom He Had
Only Met In a Crowd.

Colonel Roosevelt has one of the
most wonderful memories ever heard
of, particularly for faces and names"
said @. e. Embree Of the Maine Farm
ers' Union. II first met him some
where about 1906 at Riverhead. Long
Island, when perhaps 5000 persons
were introduced to him.
about two years later l met him on
the street Mt Oyster Bay. He was In
his shirtsleeves swinging along to the
postoffice, and being hailed by every
one who saw him. old and young, l
said :, Good morning, sir as we met.
HE paused, rather squinted at my
face and slowly replied: Good morn
Ing. Your name Is Embree, Is 1t notT
I admitted II, In establishment at his
memory, and asked, But where did
you meet mer and as quickly as a
flash came: 'Riverhead, wasn't itT
But you met 5000 men that day. %,
that doesn't make any difference
"The next meeting with the colonel
was in 1912 at Nashua, N. Ii. / was
passing around one car to take an
other and stepped a little one side
to allow q man to pass. He casually
looked at me and sang out with a
smile: Hello, Long Island! and was
gone. 1t Is wonderful to me that mans

Country at Heart Republican.

Two proverbial rules that heretofore
always favored Republicans worked
for the Democratic party this year, be-
cause 1t was in and the Republican
party out; one being the oft-quoted
maxim of Lincoln about Swapping
horses" and the other point that had
greatest weight with western farm
ers. Of high prices, or ''leaving well
enough alone"
The fact that In spite of these and
other handicaps Governor Hughes
failed of election by so narrow mar
gin that the change of few hundred
votes in two or three states would have
changed the election, shows the coun-
try to be at heart Republican.
Reunited under the nomination Of
Hughes, in whom all factions had con-
fidence, when only few months ago
1t was divided into two parties holding
Independent national conventions, the
Republican party will emerge from Its
temporary retirement better and
stronger than at any time since the
historic crisis responsible for Its birth.

FINDS HIS WEALTH A BURDEN
Trouble With Man Who Has Acquired
Riches is That He Doesn't Know
How to Spend.

The nuisance for the man who has
acquired great financial resources usu-
ally is that he doesn't know what he
wants. Possessing the resources and
feeling the moral necessity to have re-
course to them, he looks about for
something to want, and he selects the
most costly thing.
The acquisition of this most costly
thing always involves, In practice, the
separation of the rich man from So
ciety. Thus, he will acquire large
estate, or several large estates, and cut
himself off from the world by gates,
doors, miles of drive, lodge keepers,
menials, and secretaries. Or he Will
acquire 2,0S0-ton yacht and cross the
Atlantic privately, though less quickly.
less comfortably, and even less pri-
vately than on great liner. Or he
will keep private orchestra, instead
of being seen ut concerts.
All of which, thorg h magnificent, Is
anti-social and silly, and Is secretly
felt to be so by the rich man when he
happens to wake up in the middle Of
the night and can't 20 to~leep again.

Up the street came the fire engines,
with many clang and clatter. From
another direction came the fire escape.
Soon the fire hose were busy and the
crowd swelled so quickly that the
young reporter from the big daily

But he was undismayed. With
much agility he climbed a lamp post
and surveyed the scene. A minute
later he felt tug at his ankle, and
looking down, met the fierce glare of q

The passage of the Underwood tariff
was the first act of the Democratic
congress In 1913. In the period of its
operation prior to the war, although
advertised as remedy for the high
cost of living, 1t accomplished only two
results-created deficit in the rev.
enue and depression In business. The
latter has BEEN remedied tempo
rariIy and in spots by the abnormal
stimulus of the war. When this slim

Then there will be drop in prices.

everything. But 1t will be drop to
panic prices, accompanied by wide

1t matters little to the man with no
job and no money whether potatoes

either case they are beyond his reach.

thousands Of workers out on the
streets. Every avenue of business will
suffer, because the buying power Of
the nation has been reduced.
The cost Of living is now abnormally
high because the energies Of so large
a part of the world have been directed
for more than two years to feeding the
rapacious nav Of war. When the
war Is over prices will come down.

of them was the postmaster himself.
In the first place, the simultaneous ar
rival of three-foot snowfall and the
bulk of the Christmas mail was bad
enough. Next came the disabling of
one Of his best drivers, and the discov-
cry that two substitute carriers were
out Of town. Well, the postmaster
said things. Dan Sweeney, driver of
No. 2 route, was disabled beyond
doubt. There he was sitting on a
pile Of mail sacks, his back against a
steam radiator, his face white and
drawn out Of shape by twinges Of
rheumatism. He had dragged himself
down to, the office, but that was all
he could do. Now, although he should
have been sent back to bed, he was
sorting the mail for his route.
"The Christmas mail, tool" groaned
Dan. He had conscience, Dan had,
and his heart was in his work.
1t was a sight of the great pile of
packages which made Danny groan
deepest. They were more to him than
simply so much fourth-class matter,
these struggled boxes and bundles.
They were invested with something
besides the statute-guarded sanctity
of the United States mail, for which
Dan Sweeney had no light respect. He
knew that each one of them carried
not only merchandise but subtle
| freightage of the goodly holiday spirit
the joyful sentiment Of Christmastide
And to think, just because of this
plaguey rheumatism of his. many OF
them might not be delivered until the
holiday was over with, when they
would come tagging along. as stale as
firecrackers on the 9th Of July! Sc
Danny groaned.
"There!" said Danny at last, to the
| office clerk who was to attempt the
task, ''you stow the packages in jus,
that order and do your best to find
where they 60. Old Deacon'll take
you over the route all right II you give
him his head. He knows 1t like Q
book"
So the Christmas mail was finally
started out over Route No. 2. Deacon
turned an inQniring eye on the new
man, as much as II to ask what was
the matter with Danny.
