I is not free from obligations. Having
courted and gained the support Of

for Mr.. Hughes, as matter of prac-

Columbia redressing the wrongs done
that nation when Col. Roosevelt
"seized" the canal. Mr.. Roosevelt has
angrily and bitterly opposed such ac-
ton on the part of our government
correctly estimating that it would be

With accustomed accuracy and can
dor che editor Of the Springfield Re-
publican of Springfield, Mass, has re-
viewed the public careers of Woodrow
Wilson and Charles E. Hughes with
the earnest purpose Of deciding upon
the editorial policy Of that newspaper
in the present campaign.
The Republican is one of the most
ably edited and famous newspapers
in America. Its editor has waited in
the present campaign to hear both
candidates before taking sides.
Like a candid, broad-minded publ
cist he yields that measure of praise
to Mr.. Hughes he thinks his public
acts must claim, but like true pa
triot he announces his allegiance to
the country,s present policies, and
pledges his splendid talents hence
forth to the reelection Of Woodrow
Wilson.
The Republicans editorial, making
President Wilson the candidate of its
choice, has already become notable
bit of literature in the campaign. 1t
says in part:
"Mr. Wilson, in the face of difficult
ties and criticism such as have con-
fronted no President since Lincoln
has accomplished much. To declare
his foreign policy futile is idle. The
conclusive answer is contained in the
bitter protests of the radical factor
in Germany that the German subma
rines have been caught gin the net Of
notes." The outstanding fact is thai
Mr.. Wilson, without bringing thu
United States into war, has forced ;
recognition Of neutral right.
with relation to Mexico, Mr.. viii
son has grasped the underlying prin
ciple that we shall not have perma

of us until the most patent wrongs un
der which the masses of the Mexical
people have suffered are rightef
| through their own efforts. The rec
! ognition of this principle in the loni
run means the minimum Of evil t

/ lem. It is to Mr.. Wilson's everlastin,

pal government is costing the Ameri-
can people considerably more than
does State government. This is one
of the facts thought out by prelim-
mary report issued today by the Bu-
reau of the Census on States finances
during the fiscal year 1915.
In 20 of the 48 States the excess of
expenditures for governmental costs,
including interest and OUTLAWS for per-
manent improvements, over revenues
during the year was $55, 283, 404, or
SO cents per capita. In the remaining
nineteen States the excess of reve-
nues over expenditures was $1S,60S,-
OFT, or 81 cents per capita.
The aggregate revenues of all the
States during the year were $685.

more to the front, while the reaction
aries have been sent more and more
to the rear. The party has been in
training and it has gained. But IN
spite of any comparative lack of lead
ers, the Democrats meeting in caucus
whenever caucus has been necessary,
have threshed things out and deter
mined to support, one after another,
a long series Of soundly constructive
legislative measures of historic I'M
portance-notable among them the
income tax, the banking and currency
act, the rural credits act, the child
labor bill, the federal unemployment
service, the humanitarian features OF
the seamen's act and the provision for
vocational training for civil life while
in the army. To achieve such rec
ord without leaders, if it were literal
ly true that the Democrats had had
no leaders, would be in itself a tri-
umph of Democracy and a better
promise than any amount of leader
ship stamped with the political con-
ceptions of Boies Penrose.
Admirable as was Mr.. Hughes
record at Albany, there can be no def
mite assurance that he would be able
to force Penrose and others of that ilk
to back seat in the degree to which
Mr.. Wilson has revitalized the de-
mocracy. Mr.. Hughes would make
