The Country Must Insure Itself
Against lncsDscty.

In his vigorous speech at Philadel-
phia on Monday night Mr.. HuGHEs
made nn observation that should keep
his countrymcn thinking soberly every
day until election morning, the sev.
enth of November:
I'VE cannot say now In what par,icu.
lar sort OF mess we shall ind things in
March next"
Here Is room for disQuleting specu.
lation. The Government IL In feeble
hands. 1t Is v prepared to net.
In emergencies IL does not know what
to do, or how to begin. 1t Is the spor
of circumstances. II waits for m
thing to turn up with n guilty feeling
of incapaclty to deal with untoward
events. Mr.. WILSON. inconstant and
~vaciilating himself and unable to
learn from experience, Gun obtain
neither inspiration nor support from
his Cabinet, which Is the weakest
that any President has called together
since the civil war. The policy OF the
Democratic Administration IL not 80
much watchful az fearful waiting. II
Is iiabby. timid. procrastinating. nj.
ways undecided.
- anything may happen to the ma.
ton. any disaster, any disgrace. Mr..
HUGHES Is right: We don't know
I'm what particular sort of mess we
shall ind things In March next"
The country Is helpless to
plumbers and imbecilities which may
involve II In an unwelcOme war or
tarnish It's honor; but the people can
see to it that an American President
with character and stamina AS we'll
as with brains Is In the White House

ADAMSON LAW A BRIBE.
Railroad Men Called Upon TO Spurn
II and Vote for Hughes.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN-Sir: II
the Democratic Administration had held
the Cderwood tarnin law In allegiance
for one year II would have made "a vast
difference in their political prospects in
the campaign. Their only hope Ia that
the public will forget the frs, year Of
that eg%rcgious blunder.
There are many pseudo Republicans
who seeR willing to accept their policy
and think that because both parties have
declared for a non-partisan tariff com-
mission the question Is out OF politics.
What difference does II make whether
Wilson or Hughes appoints the members
OF the commission? What difference
does II make whether the mother hen
guards her chickens or a hen hawk?
Wilson believes as Underwood docs.
that protection causes a stencil in the
nos.rils OF honest men, Wilson regards
low tariff duties as bone OF my bone
and flesh OF my flesh" No adequate
protection will ever be enacted By q
Democratic administration. II 10 not
built that way.
Charles Evans Hughes knows tina, Il,
IL the paramount duty Of the Govern
ment 10 esttoilsn ana MAINTAIN every
practical American Industry and. out
side Of the necessary revenue that must
be derived from, customs duties, he Will
demand a tariff law that will create this
genuine American policy. All round sue
cesstul business Increases the volume
OF Inland transportation of the United
states. As a lifelong railroad man and
a close observer of the true source OF rail
road prosperity. J know that full Amer
lean production is the only basis OF
railroad prosperity In this country. and
that railroad prosperity Is a SYNONYMOUS
term for general prosperity OF all the
people.
l cal, upon my fellow railroad men

bribe that In rendered them with the
Adamson law. TO rcbuke the cheap dema-
gogic play OF the four pen signature.

majority for Charles Evans Hughes and

The Entente Allies Submarine
Memorandum.

II was announced In Washington
yesterday that the United States could
not accept the contention of the En-.
tente Allies, set forth In their recent
memorar dun, that ANY belligerent
submarine entering Il neutral port
should be detained there"
The memorandum was based upon
considerations of the development Of
submarine navigation" and "of acts
which In the present circumstances
may unfortunately he expected from
enemy submarines" II Is urgei I'm
the memorandum that the application
OF the law Of nations to the nper-
ations OF submarines is affected by
special and novel conditions" These
vessels can submerge and thus escape
control and observation. and II Is i'm.
possible to identify them and cstab.
hsh their national character. I, Is
argued that the rules governing the
admission Of vessels Of war to neutral
waters should therefore not apply TO
submarines and neutral Governments
are warned of "the grave danger in

navigation of regions f%requented by

Now while n neutral Government

without prejudice to Germany and her

a doubt whether such action could
be taken without offending against

HENEY NOT FOR \

Hon. Francis J. Heney, of San Fran
cisco, spent yesterday in this city on
legal business to present a motion for
rehearing in the case of himself and
his brother Ben Heney of Tucson,
against r. r. Richardson in mining
litigation involving more than $4,000.
The plaintiff was given Judgment in
the superior court of Santa Cruz
county but the lower court was re
versed.
Mr.. Heney expressed his disappoint-
ment at the outcome of the republican
national convention. He had hoped for
the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt
whom he supported strenuously four
years ago in the same place and led
the fight in behalf of the Roosevelt
delegates in the national committee
| Mr.. Heney had been almost a part of
the Roosevelt administration He had
been selected by the government to
prosecute the Oregon land frauds and
did it so successfully that he was
called to take charge of the invest-
