WOMEN FOR HUGHES

That was a very effective auxiliary
to the Republican campaign that was
organized in New York city last week,
the Women's Hughes Alliance, which
appointed National Committee for
immediate activity. AS its name in
dicates, it IS a union Of women OF all
parties in support Of Mr.. Hughes.
Some Of the most prominent women In
the country engaged in the forward
movement in behalf OF the sex are en-
rolled under the Hughes banner
There can be no question but what
the women Of the land will be power
full factors in the election Of the Re-
publican candidate for President,
The plan of work adopted by the
Women:s National Committee is to get
votes for Mr.. Hughes during the next
four months and after November I
to help Mr.. Hughes put through those
measures in which women are inter
ested The work will be carried on in
both the suffrage and non-suffrage
states. In the suffrage States the
State organization will work directly
with the men in the Hughes Alliance.
In the non-sufrage states. the women
will carry on educational work, CO.

TENNIS GROWING IN FAVOR,

The interest that is being taken IN
the tournament Of the Wheeling len
mis- Club at Edgewood, this week, IN
dicates that this summer sport Is
rapidly growing in favor. Base ball
and golf always will have their de-
voices, but tennis is yet to take It's
, proper place in public favor. By some
tennis Is looked upon as an effeminate
game, and for no other reason, We pre-
sumo. because it Is sport that ladies
play at.
II is. however, red-blooded pastlme,
with the added advantage that 1t IN.
wolves no risk Of life and limb. like
base ball and foo, ball. 1t strengthens
the body and serves to promote alert
ness OF mind. 1t Is SUSCEPTIBLE, too OF

quite encouraging that tennis Is find
ing increasing favor in this community
and that the Edgewood tournament
has such an suspicious outlook.

AN UNFAIR BURDEN.

The Springfield. Mass, Republican.
OF alleged independent thinking, but
favorably disposed towards the Demo
cratic administration, in commenting
on its revenue policies. speaks OF the
inclination of Congress to pile tan
alton on wealth almost exclusively.
It condemns this policy, with special
reference 10 the income tax, asserting
that the exemptions should be lowered
so as to widen the base Of popular
support for the government, and the
Democrats deserve criticism for fail
ing to do their duty in this respect
1t, however, destroys the strength OF
its utterances when it lapses into the
demagocic strain OF soaking the rich
for all they will bear. 1t adds this
unfair observation: The propertied
people, especially those OF great
wealth, have been so conspicuous IN
the preparedness agitation that there
is a measure Of justice in placing the
cost OF preparedness mainly on the
backs of the denizens OF millionaire
dom and its hangers-on."
+ That sounds more like the street
corner agitator than like. the usually
dignified, fair and logical Republican.
It is not fair distribution OF the tax
burden to pile all the costs ofrhe gov
eminent on the wealthy or capitalist
class. It sayors more Of penalizing
success in business and taking advant-
age of the thrifty. 1t does more. 1t
encourages the socialistic spirit But
az that is the trend of the Wilson ad-
ministrauon it is not so surprising
after all, that the Republican should
be found acclaiming its acts.

A BRILLIANT FEAT.

AS a feat of daring and a dash OF
brilliant accomplishment the arrival OF
the German submarine Deutschland
at Baltimore, after an ocean voyage OF
ever 1000 miles, stands unparalleled
in maritime history 1t also demon
strates the possibilities OF the future
Of no mean commercial value in reia-
ton to the trade intercourse between
nations. AS freight carrier subma-
rine would seem TO be ideal for lisrt
articles for rapid consignment, when
such vessels are trimmed to greater
speed, as they will be.
The chief interest, however. that
attaches to the Deutschland, is he1
successful avoidance Of the British
blockade, and as showing the resource
fulness Of the German nation. Just
as adversely brings out the best at
tributes OF the human family, so stress
and danger quicken the national alert
ness and inspire the inventive faculty
to super achievements.
After all, Jules Verne wrote better
than he knew when his imaginative
mind gave US Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea- And with
all OF the marTels that have been
evolved by science and invention there
seems to be no limit to human in
genuity and that Pandora's box is still
asfruitful field for exploitation.

Hearts weary with aching and pain.

Don't feel that misfortune has singled
And made you her own special prey.
For you may be sure there's no home so
But that trouble will enter some way,
There is sunshine for all In this worka-

But you'll have to go after your share
And you'll miss IT, Of course. II you're
hurried and cross,
With never a moment to spare.
And II you have sunshine and love In

If pleasure and plenty abound.

We need in this country to-
day a minimum of $4,000 trained
commissioned officers for adequate
national defense and we have less
than $4,000. They are 4.Sl0 in the
Regular Army, sos in the Ma
tional Guard and something less
than 1000 listed as reserves. Not
TO exceed so per cent. Of these W i'll
be available without further train
ing.
At the close of our Civil War
we had approximately $4,000 OF
ficers in Northern and Southern
armies. When it began we had
about 1000. Due TO this shortage
and the acceptance OF adventures
from other nations there was eN::
cessive and objectionable confuS-
ion and delay in organizing our
volunteer armies, extravaganza
and waste in their equipment and
criminal loss of life among our
troops. This was less marked IN

REVEALING STRAW VOTE.

=. The premier achievement OF the
Democratic administration has loudly
been proclaimed TO have been the
Federal Reserve Act. On every &C.
casion we are told by the party shout
ers that it is the greatest piece Of coll
structtye legislation that ever has been
passed by any Congress-. The Intelli-
gencer has pointed out before that this
self-praise was based on an untried
scheme; that the act was open to
any objections; that its faulty COZ
1ucion was Of Democratic origin,

course the Democrats go on sound
ing its praises and proclaming its
wonders. One foolish break was. that
it saved the country from disastrous
panic at the outbreak Of the European
war, when In fact the panic was avert

currency act The Federal Reserve
Act was not in operation at that time.
Now cones a definite expression Of

Out Of the total replies, 1,II3 were an
