Hughes, the Boys of America, and
 the European SIaughterhouse.
Waterbury Democrat.)

Clifford Pinchot has written a let ter to the editors of newspapers throughout the country giving his reason for supporting Hughes for president, or rather, his reasons for opposing Wilson. We quote from the letter as follows:
 'Worst of all is this: When every principle of freedom and equality for which our fathers fought was at stake in the great war, when our whole country eagerly awaited the leader ship of the president Wilson lodged H C refused to take sides on the great est moral issue of our time. He ad- v1sed our people to be neutral even in thought undecided between right and wrong. While our friends abroad were fighting for the principles we held equally with them, he taught us that profits and ease were better than self-reSpect. President Wilson has done our nation the most serious injury that any leader can do to any people by making us finch with him from a great moral decision. Thereby he weakened our hold as a nation on the principles which alone can make any people self-respecting safe and strong.'
 
 Wilson has done as president, accord ing to one of Hughes most ardent progressive supporters, is that he has kept this country out of the world war We have too much respect for Clifford PinchOt even to suspect that he is not perfectly sincere in his con- viction that millions of Amercan boys ought to be fighting side by side with the boys of Great Britain, France and Russia in the blood-soaked, vermin- infested trenches of Europe We ad- mire his courage in publicly stating his cOnviction-a courage in which his candidate seems to be sadly lacking If all the loose talk in which Hughes has indulged about strong foreign policy" national honor," etc., means anything, 1t means that he believes with Pinchot that this nation should have declared war against Germany If Hughes does not mean this then his talk Is mere political bunk A good many of the issues in this presi- 1ential campaign are pretty we'll mixed up but this issue of war or peace is beginning to be clearly defined. Will son has kept the boys of America your boys and my boys-out of the European slaughterhouse, where al- ready upwards of 15,0OOO00 boys, just like yours and mine, have been killed, manned or ara suffering the horrors of prison camps. Pinchot says that this is ''the worst of alp of Wilson's many crimes And Hughes, afraid to be as frank as Pinchot, lest he lose the German vote talks glibly about the weakness of Wilson's foreign policies and the loss of our national honor

is a Democrat, and proud of it, and Governor Holcomb is a Republican, and they are facing each other in political fight that no matter which way it ends should leave no bitter scars.
 Democracy in the state of Connec- ticut is growing stronger every day. There never was time when a Dem Ocrat had so much to be proud of as he has in this year. And those who hold the Democratic strength lightly are indeed brave men. In Republi- can stronghold, so-called, there nev- CT was so much cause for optimism on the part of a party looked upon as in the minority. There is more joy here for a Democrat than there is for Republican in many other states in thing, it is better to be a Democrat in Connecticut than a Republican in, say, Texas. But, and this is the thing to consider, the Republican in Texas as much consideration as his Demo- cratic brother The same applies in Connecticut. The men in the Demo- cratic party here are entitled to just as much courtesy from the public as their friends, the Republicans. At tempts to belittle the efforts of any party are not in keeping with good broad Americanism. The time to set tie an election is at the polls, and the voting in this instance takes place on the first Tuesday after the first Mon day In November. Wait until then

The history of Parenzo goes back to the second century before the Christian era, when it was known aS ParenJiuns It was elevated to a place of prominence by Augustus Caesar who established a colony here shortly after his overwhelming naval victory at Actium where Marc Anthony fled, ignominiously surrendering all hope of 6 world empire in order to seek forget fitness in the caresses of the Egyp- tian siren Cleopatra.
 Under the Roman empire Paren- tium became a town of 5000 inhabi- tants within the walls, while 10000 people occupied the suburbs. During the ascendancy of the Venetian repub- lie it acknowledged the supremacy of the queen of the Adriatic, and as result in 1854 was sacked by a Geno-. csc fleet commanded by one of the famous Doria family which figurese conspicuously in the history of the west Italian city during the 14th cen- tury.
 "In addition to the famous cathe- dral, Parenzo guards the interesting ruins of two Roman temples. The peninsula on which the town is built is supposed to be subsiding gradually, into the Adriatic as the pavements of the Roman period are three feet be- low the present street levels, while the city site today is in no place more than five feet above sea level. Overlooking the port from an island at the mouth of the harbor is lighthouse. N
 "A few miles to the south of Paren7. 20 are the Brionian Islands whose quarries furnished practically all the stone for the palaces and bridges of medieval Venice"

Der of arrests for the group, 1,775), emphasizes the cause of this failure, namely, disregard for the fact that the problem is medical as well as so- cial. Only 10 per cent. of these al- coholics were steadily employed; 49 per cent were not self-supporting when at large. All of them were, of course, a charge on society for the expenses of their arrest, conviction and maintenance while serving their sen tences. That society pays a high price for the luxury of maintaining these chronic inebriates Is obvious. Anderson found that 56 per cent. of them had a mental level below that of a child of twelve; "A per cent. were mentally sub-normal, and all mani fested impairment of the nervous sys- tenn. Thirty-seven were feeble-mind- ed, seven insane, seven epileptic, thir- ty-two possessed a psychopathic con- stitution, and the remaining seventeen showed alcoholic deterioration. Fifty of Anderson's subjects were steady drinkers and fifty periodic. Of the steady drinkers, only 2 per cent were rated as of adult intelligence, and only IA per cent had a mental level above twelve years. The periodic drinkers possessed a higher level of intelli- genCe.

and better friends, if we have realized in nature new beaties of harm mony, if we have felt the thrill at sea and mountain and star then we are com ing back to the shop with a new hold on living. The sea, perhaps, has called us outward. The sky has called us upward. Wordsworth, Beethoven, Millet-these star treading souls felt the same zest of spirit at times and caught visions of new beauties, and through them insight into new truths. The magic of word and tone and color swept in unembodied beauty through them and was crystallized into last ing symbols. Their souls were washed clean with God and they let them fow purified, into the eternal images of art. The qualities that we love in the Tintern Abbey poem, with it's quiet, sublime wonder, in the Pas toral Symphony, with it's 1uting night 1ngales and dancing peasants and booming storms and star-still sereni- ties, 1n the fresh, rustic studies of the clear-eyed Jean Francois-these qual- 1ties must have been the results of vacations. And so we come back, back to the desk, to the shop, to the work of head and spirit and hand, to breathe our rehabilitated spirits into 1aggering common life of every day, thrilling with knowledge that even prosaic job may be a splendid art. We hope anew. We shall strive to achieve on a loftier scale. We have come back from the sweep of the sea and the sky believing that even ordin- ary things are worth while, remem- bering that the first attribute which God Himself displayed was a capacity to work

Was Cleopatra Ugly?
(New York World. )

Of undertaking the illustrious dead there is no end. Now the numts- matists of the country who are ir convention at Baltimo ore are seeking to impugn the beauty of Cleopatra, and they point to her portrait on her coins as proving that the Queen who ensnared Caesar and Antony had big ears, small eyes and a scrawny neck. l Would the fair autocrat of Egypt have allowed her own coinage to malign her charms?
 Clearly the numismatists are not 100 per cent. chivalric. But as against this evidence there is a silver coin minted at Antioch and showing the bus of Cleopatra on the obverse and that of Mark Antony on the reverse which gives the queen a neck by no means scrawny, full eyes and a chin suggestive of that of our own God dess of Liberty, though lacking the graceful curve. The ears are as in- visible as those of @ modern New York girl, and only the nose invites criticism. It is quite long enough to disprove PascaPs saying that if it had been shorter it would have changed the whole face of the world.
 The Antioch coin calls the queen "a later goddess" Was the coiner a courier, and did the official coinage more truly depict her, in the Crom- well way, with all the warts on"? It is more satisfactory to put the blame on ruds Workmanship. N If CIeopatra's charms did not "bcggar all description" they must have had some potency to mako the slaves they did

Seeing Health Problems Straight.
Bridgeport Farmer).


 The Boston Board of Health sees the health problem straight. Here is what it says in an official five line statement just issued:
 Do you know that better wages make better health?
 That better health makes better citizens?
 That better citizens make a better nation?
 Poverty is the prolific sire of in temperance and disease. It is one of the main supports of the social evil with it's white slave traffic.
 Poverty means poor feeding, poor housing and care. It is the source of delayed marriage, which is the source of many evils.
 By "good wages" the purchasing power of money is intended rather than it's mere amount. High wages of low purchasing power are not high wages at all.

That Dumping" BOgey.

The growing disposition in this country to discount fears of foreign dumping" at the close of the war is strengthened by a statement from Philip Heineken, director of the North German Lloyd steamship line. His words can hardly be regarded as meant to deceive this country; their logic and common sense carry con- viction.
 If, he argues, it is true that ouan- titles of goods are being accumulated in Europe to dump onto the Amer ican market the moment the war ends what nation is accommodating those goods? And how can 1t ac- cumulate them? And what isits2ob- ject? Every belligerent powera~is is finding it necessary to use for the prosecution of the war all the labor, all the capital and all the fuel and raw materials it can command. In a l1fe-and-death struggle, is it reason able, or possible, that the nations should turn aside and divert their hu- man and material resources for the sake of a visionary commercial vic- tory when the fighting is done?
 Even viewed from the standpoint
  vldual business man, operating on business principles, MT. Heineken finds the dumping" theory absurd. While the war lasts, both labor and materials are prohibitively scarce and expensive What manufacturer would be so foolish as to produce a great Stock Of goods at an unprecedented 1 cost, and hold them for an indefinite with 9 to t1mately at prices below the normal peace level?
 MT. Heineken admits that Germany is building merchant ships to replace those destroyed; England is said to De dolng the same. He admits that there is some accumu]a ton of chem 1ca1 and dyes in Germany due partly to the difficulty of exporting them during the war, and partly to the desire to have something which at the close of the struggle can be quickly turned into cash to help re- store Germany's foreign exchange. But beyond this, he says, Germany will have mighty little stuff to sell abroad, and so will Germany's trade rivals. Tn fact, the dumping is likely to work the other way The bel ligerents will have to buy great quan- titles of merchandise of all sorts from the United States.
 Eventually, when Europe recovers from the war, there will no doubt be keener industrial and commercial l competition than any yet experi- enced; and it is well for Americans ! to look forward and prepare against that time. But we seem destined to have pretty clear field, in our own markets and the worlds markets, for several years

Hughes Hangs His Head.
(NeW Haven Union).

Considering the Mexican record, Mr. Hughes hangs his head in shame We have been looking over the rec ord to find possible cause for this great humiliation. He believes in deeds, not words, so perhaps he Is thinking of the occasion when Presi- dent Taft sent a message to the Gov ernor of Arizona in response to the latter's request for protection against Mexican attacks Said the then re- publican president: 'I must ask you and the local authorities in case the same danger recurs, to direct the people of Douglas to place themselves where bullets cannot reach them, and thus avoid casualty" Thus while the Dem ocratic method is to call the National Guard to colors, the Repub- l1can method appears to be to order the citizens to crawl into their eel lars.

The War of Exhaustion.
(NeW York Sum-

If David Lloyd George is an opti- mist upon the fortunes of the en- tente allies, Col Winston Churchill is inclined to pessimism. Of the two ! the secretary for war has been in closer touch with the British prepar- ations to fight to the bitter end. And it must be remembered that so long as Churchill was a Lord of the Ad- mira1ty and could have 8 hand in naval operations he was an invin ble, and even bumptious, optimist. Now he sees no vcstige of hope that there will be an early peace. On the con- trary, the war is going to drag on intern1inably. The German armies are more numerous and better equip ped than ever. and Britain must or ganize to the last pound of supplies and charter ships at admiralty rates or the worst will happen.
 Colonel Churchill seems to pin his faith to Russia. and he urges the Chancellor of the EXchequer to pour out money lavishly to equip her ar mics and supply them with ammuni- tion. It would appear that the Colonel of Hussars, who prefers a comfortable seat in the house of com mons to the privations of the trenches, has little faith in the British sol dier. Perhaps Tommy Atkins has little faith in the descendant of an illustrious British General
 But when we cross the channel we find that eX-Premier Vivani, now min ister of justice in France, is also de- pressed and has his doubts. For merly no one more buoyant and mag netic than he. He used to be the most fiery and eloquent of the French optimists. Recently he said: "A1- though victory is certain it will re- quire hard and prolonged efforts to break Prussian militarism and pre- vent recurrence of it's crimes" Even MT. David Lloyd George, when we come to examine his language of good cheer and inspiration, does not find the Anglo-French offensive in the west quite up to expectations, for he said but the other day:

A Generous People.
(BOstOn PCSt)

AS onlookers upon the controversy in Europe, our people here in the United States have shown a lively sympathy in relief of those who are not fighting but are suffering because of the cruel fight there.
 Some measure of this relief is af- forded in the report of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The total of funds contributed through this organization approximates $29,- 000,00 for the past year Of this, the starving Belgians have received about one-third and the German Red Cross illustrating the absolute neutrality of sentimen here-several millions on the same basis. In short, cOntri- buttons for dependent nationalities af- fected by the wars avages-including that of the American Jewish Relief committee-reach a sum unexampled in history.
 It is the most notable instance of popular generosity which the records of the world offer. It is not our fight which the nations of Europe are conducting; but the distress which this conflict produces makes an appeal to our humanity to which our people re- spond. Let us hope that it will stop before it beggars the people of Eu- rODo
