Hughes Points the Way

The speech of the Republican can
aidate for President was q keynote
speech, indeed. Not one person In
the great audience at the Carnegie
Hall meeting was In doubt for one
moment as to just what he meant by
everything he said.
His address was comprehensive. log.
ical. clear and all sufficient for the
occasion. There can be NJ dispute
as to this. Plainly Mr.. Hughes Ii =
man who knows what he wants when
he wants it," and 1t 10 the opinion
Of political authorities who heard him
and who have since read his remarks
that he knows, also, how to get 1t.
1t was incumbent upon the Repub-
lican candidate TO confne the scope
of his remarks to the limitations OF
the occasion, but his crushing analy-
sis OF the shortcomings Of the pres
ent administration of the government
Is merely an earnest of what the ton
and the contents Of his speeches will
be when he gets on the stump.
At Carnegie Hall Mr.. Hughes ad-
verted to every general question that
Is apt to be o serious issue in the
campaign and In language that will
be absolutely clear to every man or
woman able to read he stated his
opinions, his convictions and his pur-
poses. On the stump he will argue
those points in detail. As an orator
he IL eloquent, his personality attrac-
tive and his marshalling Of facts so
cohesive that he holds his audience
TO the End. He makes 1t easy for
them to follow him and his points
are not lost.
There was nothing equivocal, moth
ing apologize in the Republican AN
didate's speech of acceptance. He
called a spade a spade, and the unani-
nous opinion of those who heard him
was that he shot to the center and
rang the bell. The Republican cam
paign is now open. and those who
will speak and write and work for
the success of the Republican ticket
can wish for no more adequate cam
paign document, no more satisfactory
statement of issues than are found In
the candidates s%alutatory.

BREAKFAST FOOD.

Whereas in time Gast mo breakfast
was a fad, some doctors now agree
that a good breakfast leads to a good
days work and enjoyment. All Chris
tians pray for daily food, but, alas.
many are too busy to prepare a spir-
itual morning portion. A helpful lit
tie book entitled DAILY Heavenly
Mamma" is arranged with Scriptures
and commentaries for each day of the
year. A space is also provided for
birthdays of friends. This book is
published not for profit but for good.

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised TO
reduce the cost of living. This
they have failed to do; but they
did reduce the opportunities of
making a living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed
in this country under the new
tariff prior to the outbreak of
the war. Production had de-
creased, business was anguish
ing, new enterprises were not
undertaken, instead Of expan-
sion there was curtailment, and
our streets were filled with the
unemployed. What ground Is
there for expecting better con-
ditions when the unhealthy
stimulus of the war has spent
its force and our industries and
working-men are exposed to the
competition of an e~nergized Eu-
rope?
1t is plain that we must have
protective upbuilding policies.

Range: Breeds throughout the
United States and most of Canada;
winters generally in the United States.
Habits and economic status: The
general habits of the crow are uni
versally known. Its ability to com
NIT such misdeeds as pulling corn
and stealing eggs and fruit and to get
away unscathed Is little short of mar
velous. Much of the crows success
In life is due to cooperation, and
the social instinct of the species has
It's highest expression in the winter
ed by hundreds of thousands of crows.
From these roosts daily flights OF
many miles are made in search of
food. Injury to sprouting corn Is the
most frequent complaint against this
species, but by coating the seed grain
with coal tar most of this damage may
be prevented. Losses of poultry and
eggs may be averted by proper housing
and the judicious use of wire netting.
The insect food of the crow includes
wireworms, cutworms, white grubs,
and grasshoppers, and during out
breaks of these insects the crow rem
ders good service. The bird is also
an efficient scavenger. But chiefly
because of its destruction of beneficial
wild birds and their eggs the crow
must be classed as a criminal, and a
reduction in its numbers in localities
where II ia s%eriOuslv destructive Ia
justifiable.

IN PREPAREDNESS THE AD-
MINISTRATiON HAS FOL-
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the Administra-
ton has followed, not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were first described as
nervous and excited, Only
about q year and q half ago we
were told that the question of
preparedness was not a press
ing one; that the country had
been misinformed. Later, under
the pressure of other leader
ship, this attitude was changed.
The Administration, 1t was
said, had learned something"
and 1t made a belated demand
for an increased army. Even
then, the demand was not prose
cuted consistently and the pres
sure exerted on Congress with
respect to other Administrative
measures was notably absent.
We are told that the defects
revealed by the present mobili-
zation r due to the system"
But 1t was precisely such plain
defects that under the constant
warnings of recent years, with
the whole world intent on mNi-
tary concerns, should have been
studied and rectiied. The Ad-
ministration has failed to dis
charge its responsibilities. Ap-
parently, 1t is now seeking to
meet political exigenciss by its
naval program. But 1t has i'm
posed upon the country an in
competent naval administration.

Length, about nine and one-half
inches.
Range: Breeds in Mexico and North
America south of the barren grounds,
winters in southern half of United
States and south to Costa RIGA.
Habits and economic status: The
prairies of the upper Mississippi val
ley, with their numerous sloughs and
ponds, furnish ideal nesting places for
redwings, and consequently this re-
gion has become the great breeding
ground for the species. These prairies
pour forth the vast flocks that play
havoc with grain fields. East of the
Appalachian range, marshes on the
shores of lakes, rivers, and estuarleS
are the only available breeding sites
and, as these are comparatively few
and small, the species is much less
abundant than in the West. Red
wings are eminently gregarious, liv-
ing in 1ocks and breeding in COM
munities. The food of the redwing
consists of 27 per cent animal matter
and 70 per cen vegetable. Insects con-
stitute practically one-fourth of the
food. Beetles largely weevils, a
most harmful group amount to III
per cent. Grasshoppers are eaten in
every month and amount to about 5
per cent. Caterpillars (among them
the injurious army worm) + eaten
at all seasons and aggregate 6 per
cent. Ants, wasps, bugs, flies, dragon
flies, and spiders also are eaten. The
vegetable food consists of seeds, in
GLIDING grain, of which oats Is the
~favorite, and some small fruits. When
in large f1ocks this bird is capable OF
doing great harm to grain.
