Mexico will have the strong hand of
this Government back of them. The
News believes that that is precisely
what is needed in order to bring
Carranza off his high horse. So far
from threatening worse trouble with
Mexico, mandate from the American
people to their President that they ex-
pect him to see that these rights are
protected should serve, and probably
will serve, to avert Intervention. No
BODY in the United States know how
far Carranza will be permitted to trife
with US. No wonder Mexico thinks
there is no limit to American patience.
We shall be surprised, indeed, if victory
for Mr.. Hughes does not produce sud
den and helpful change in Carranza' S
attitude.
AS for Germany, war can only come
from such a defiance of neutral in
terests as will necessitate our entry in
the conflict. Hughes is not going to
force Germany's hand. He is not 60
ing to bait her into ruthless submarine
warfare. The only conclusion from Mr..
Wilson's speech is that MIR. Hughes as
President would go farther than Mr..
Wilson in upholding American rights
and protecting American interests. We
believe he would. But we believe,
further, that is the only way to main
tain peace with honor.
Aside from these considerations, if
the President is now going to RELY on
war bogy to get votes. what will be-
come of the hyphen bogy? When war
is spoken of it means war with Ger
many. That is the country the Presi-
dent and his supporters have in mind. 1t
will be interesting to see how they are
going to reconcile their plea for the de
feat of MIR. Hughes on the ground that
he will precipitate war with Germany
with their strenuous appeal for his de-
feat because he is bowling his neck to
the hyphenates, Baltimore News.

FATAL DISEASE
AMONG CATTLE
Twenty-Seven Have Died As a
Result of Outbreak,

During the past week an epidemic of
anthrax among cattle in different l1cal-
tiles of Garrett county has broken out
and as result twenty-five head have
died, the disease having its inception at
point near Hutton where the heards
of Mr.. D. N. Sanders, Mr.. Frel A
Thayer and Mr.. Bert C. Scott were at
tackled. the former losing some eight or
ten within few hours.
1t was thought by Mr.. Sanders tina It
lightning had killed five head during a
thunder storm, but upon the following
day he discovered that several others
were sick and called DR.. Melody, who
upon post morten and microscopical ex-
aminations pronounced the disease
anthrax and ordered all dead animals
burned and isolated all infected ones.
The disease rapidly spread and in a
days 1t was found to have infected
animals on adjoining farms and as a re-
suit it became necessary to quarantine
and vaccinate several hundred cattle
against the disease which work has
been accomplished by the local veteri-
MARIAN.

HUGHES AND THE WAR BOGY

If President Wilson can convince the
country that the election of Mr.. Hughes
means that the United States will be
headed for war with either Germany or
Mexico, he will be well on the way to
assuring an overwhelming Republican
defeat. In his speech Saturday the
President said;
There is only one choice as against
peace, and that is war; some Of the
supporters of that party outspokenly
declare that they want war, so
that the certain prospect of the success
of the Republican party is that we shall
be drawn in one form or another into
the environments of the European war,
and that to the south of US the force of
the United States will be used to pro-
duce in Mexico the kind of law and
order which some American investors
in Mexico consider most to their
advantage.
At the present moment Joint Com
mission is in desultorY session endeayor-
ing to settle our differences with Mex
leo. 1t has been marking time tor
weeks. II anything has been accom-
plished, the country has been left in
ignorance of what it is. The stiff
necked de facto President of Mexico
seems to be the real boss of the Com
mission. He gives it to understand
what it may discuss and what it may
not discuss. He is determined upon one
thing-that is, to get American troops
out of Mexico. We do not accuse the
President of playing politics with the
situation, but there is not the slightest
indication that the Commission is going
to do anything other than keep the
Mexican muddle in the background until
the election is out of the way.
In what way will Mr.. Hughes, cleo
ton make matters worse? All he has
done is to give Carranza and everybody
else to understand that American
citizens and American interests in

Notice to Subscribers.

Beginning November lst 1916, the subscription price
Of The Republican will be advanced from $l25 per year
to Sl5O per year. This advance in price is made
willingly by the publisher but at the time it is
absolutely necessary by of the fact that every
single item going into the making of newspaper, ncud
ing inks paper and fixed charges has advanced that
the present subscription price of 25 per year is much
less than the cost of production.
News print paper has advanced from s. per hundred
pounds to 800 per hundred pounds while inks have adj
yanced from cents per pound to Is cents per pound
within the past six months 1t was the hope of the
management that prices would become normal and this
advance in the price of subscription would not be neces
Sary but instead indications that all material will
become higher.
Anyone desiring to pay their subscription in advance
prior to November ls may do the present rate for
period ofno more than year All subscriptions that
are paid in advance Will be continued the full time
