Mr.. Vance Mccormick. Chairman Ma

DEAR Sin: The ~wspape OF this
morning quote YOU as saying THE Re-
publican candidate didn't peep during

might have been worth while
May I ask you these questions:
Did the President OF the United states
invite Mr., Hughes to give him the benent
of his advice" II ne did not. criticism
of MIR. Hughes's silence is IN timed,
Is II not considered rather bad man
ners for AN opposing candidate to thrust
his views upon the President OF the
United states unasked in a national
crisis Of the sort referred to. and did not
a gentleman and good citizen when he
refrained from %"pecping""
DO you wish Mr.. Hughes had ''peeped'
because he might have saved Woodrow
Wilson from infictin2 upon the American
people the greatest humiliation they have
ever yet had to submit to, or because
you would he glad TO have Mr.. Hughes
share the responsibility for the humilia-
ton with the President OF the United
States and the four leaders of the broth
erhoods?
You please a number Of eood citizens
when you say that MIR. Hughes's views
might have been worth while IL he had
"peeped' during the crisis, 7 am sure
that had Mr.. Hughes done So he woulI
not have been a partner to the des,ruc-

Attacking the supreme Court BY

70 THE EDITOR OF TuE SuS-Sir: Re-
publicans have prostituted the Unite
States Supreme Court by taking a jus
tice from the bench to be a Presidential
candidate. the Democrats say.
If the Democrats are SO anxious t.
have the Supreme Court u%ntainted b;
politics. why does President Wilson sit
silen, while Samuel Gompers goes around
the country attacking Mr.. Hughes TO-
decisions alleged to have been made
against organized labor while he wAs
a Supreme Court Justice?
Gompers and Wilson are great friend.
but OF course The Sir Gaiahad of hui
manfy would not inspire the Labor
leader to say anything that wou'l
smirch u exalted courts. Republicans
are the only persons who take their ran
didates from the bench. The memory
that cannot go back to the single term
plank Of the baltimore convention can.
not be expected to remember Alton H.
Parker.
In his denlnciations Of Mr.. Hughes
Mr.. Gompers displays a memory almost
feeble enough to entitle him to n plac"
at the right hand side OF the celebrated
Mr.. Daniels. lie forgets that the dec'-
sions he decries were made with tn
joint agreement OF three Justices OF tho
Supreme Court.
Gompers is allowed to go round the

Who Pays for the Pens?

To u EpIToR or THE SuS-Sir: I
was not In the least surprised at Mr..
Wilson's giving ava the United States
at the demand Hold up your hands"
Peace at n price has been his motto
during his administration
But when l read of his giving away
four pens to the parties who held him
up | felt that We should all like to
know who pays for the pens,
Will our taxes he increased by his
generosity" II Is the last straw that
breaks the camcl's back.
II Mr.. Wilson bought and paid for
the pens he had IA right to do as he
pleased with his own property. II is
very easy to give away 10000 900 Of
other peoples money by the stroke Of
a pen that Somebody else has paid for.
