Judge Hughcs's Appointment

RESIDENT WILSON has an engaging
/ way of confounding his political op-
poncnts He has a happy faculty OF out
maneuvering those who imagine that they
have him "in hole" and his strategy is so
simple as to make even his friends wonder
why his enemies compel him to resort to
their own game at all. The request which
Mr.. Wilson made of Judge Hughes in con-
nection with the aircraft inquiry is a case
10 the point
When the aircraft Investigation
dertakcn by the Department OF Justice,
every barker at the heels Of the administra-
ton wildly yelled "whitewash." They
thought it utterly ludicrous for Democratic
President to name n Democratic Attorney
General to inquire into the acts OF Demo-
cratic Secretary OF War. 1t seemed to be
co wholly a family affair, the hushng up OF
family scandal, it were, that the critic
brigade laughed ont loud about it, and opened
fire upon the investigators with the same fury
that ii had already attacked those being in
vestigated.
But all at once the President found n
means OF silencing them. Without taking
any detractor into his confidence, he wrote
a friendly letter to Charles e. Hughes, his
late opponent for the presidency, former
associate justice OF the United States Su-
preme Court. former Governor of New York
! expert prosecutor OF crOokednesS and q 100
per cent Republican, requesting him to as
aist the Democratic Attorney-G in get
! ting at the facts. Could anything have been
| more consummatc than this move?
| There is not a Republican in or out OF
! Washington who dares impute aircraft par
tisanship to Judge Hughes There Is not
one who in his heart believes for minute
! that the former jurst will be a party to any
! whitewashing processes. If anybody has
| been stealing aircraft money, Mr.. Hughes
! will find it out and will boldly say so. More
! over, he is commissioned by the President to
! assist in sending any possible robbers to jail.
! But, on the other hand IL there have heen
/ honorable men associated with this business
who have been unjusty attacked, Judge
| hughes Will join in a demand that their
regulations be cleared. He will have moth
ing whatever to do with either wholesale or
retail libeling Of public officials or OF private
| citizens.
The appointment OF Judge Hughes as an
Assistant Attorney General was an adroit
step. and his acceptance OF the commission
SHOWS breadth OF Americansm which is
worthy OF man who has held positions OF
honor and trust at the hands of his
