SORRY FOR MR.. HAYS

(From The Republican Opinion.
Only men who are abnormally
envious can envy Mr.. Hays, chairman
of the Republican National Commit
tee. He evidently feels the awk-
wardness of his position. He is evil
IDENTIFY doing his best to hide his
feelings. That he does not succeed
is not altogether his fault. He tries
hard, in an interview published for
Republican success in the Congress-
ional elections this autumn with a
conviction that now, more than in
ordinary times, country must reach
above party. Yet in spite of his
efforts he cannot keep from saying
things like this: Every Republican
vote cast is ar:other nail in the
kaiser's coffin; every Republican con-
gresham elected is another stonc
piled on his tomb" This does nc.
mean anything unless it means tha,
Germany will take heart if the Demo
Gratis do well at the polls next aut-
umn. Does Mr.. Hays really believe
such rubbish? Or did he just say it
because he thinks this is the way g
chairman ought to talk, without be-
lieving it? Any way you take him you
cannot help being sorry for Mr.
Hays.

From its organization last fall un-
til May II of this year the total ex-
penses of the department were $685.
0O00. Its organization and equip
ment cost approximately $4,000 and
its maintenance $4,000. The low
expenses are due to the fact that
only the first unit of forty-three
men, highly trained, has been form.
ed. Up to June 81 of this year the
department had been instruments
in the assessment of fines amount
ing to $11,255 upon violators OF

equalling almost the cost of the de
partment's maintenance. And thu
value of the liquor confiscated fror
these bootleggers, estimated cor

Cuttings letter to the Republican


"Let me say frankly" he wrote,
"that in general both yo"r letter and
the printed statement which accom-

The allusaon to THE necessity
of adopting Republican principles
for the industrial construction that
is to take place after the war means,

of the Aldrich-Payne tariff act, but
the phrasing is sufficiently ambig-
uous TO permit of any amount of
