How Hayes Hates Publicity!

The Pictorial Review recently printed
an interview with VIII II. Hays. much
touted chairman Of the republican party.
The interview itself contained nothing
that has not been heraided throughout
the whole Of Indiana by the republican
press time and time ago. But the de
scrIption Of the interview as told by the
interviewer is extraordinary. II Is so
very. very candid that IL stands IN

IN which Mr.. Hays handles himself. 1t

THE CONSTITUTION AS A PLATFORM

wife, makes me sell my hogs and labor
at a forced price, makes me buy my ne
cessities at exorbiUant prices, am mad,
and If 1t is continued to the breaking
point without recourse, / am going to
rebel. So, to save the herd, my first
suggestion is, figid enforcement of our
laws on all alike and at once. No dilly-
dallying, no postponements not absolute
~ necessary, etc, etc Next 1 would sug.
gest that every applicant for an office
be required to file an affidavit before his
election that he realizes that he is to be
servant of the whole people, that his
time belongs 80 the whole people.
That while he remains In office he
will in no way, by word or act, try
to further the individual interests Of
any person. corporation or party.
That he will not in any way avoid any
law on our statute book, but will, to the
utmost of his ability, endeayor to enforce
them to the letter.
That he will, at every opportunity,
vote to make the penalty Of every law
transgression so severe that no sane man
would risk the violation of one for profit.
That he realizes there can be no
liberty except under law. That he be
lieves in a majority rule, obtained by
an untrammeled vote. on any question
after a reasonable debate. That he be-
lieves organization of voters on any ques-
ton is meant to get advantage, etc.
My platform is:
Since all men are born free and equal,
are endowed with the right Of life, lib-
erty and the pursuit Of happiness in hts
own way, so long as it does not intrude
upon Others possessing these same rights.
Putting 1t in fewer words,
Our constitution.

The Wolves of Washington

Editor The Times-I have read with
profound satisfaction the editorial, THE
Wolves of Washington published in
your issue of Feb. IS
Permit me 70 congratulate you, Mr..
Editor, as being one of those cham
pions of constitutional democracy WHO
does not take his tip from the pirates
Of reaction and cslumny. who in their
desperation Nor an issue stoop to rob
the gutter of its stencil or the marplot
his trade.
Wolves" yes. wolves indeed. who
have sat al the door of the whitehoUse,
so to speak, licking their chops as they
await the news, that has not come to
date, the news OF the passing Of the
worlds foremost citizen, Mr.. Wilson. And
yet, my dear editor. l can not refrain
n criticism OF your most logical edi-
torial. since instead Of clubbing those
asSassns of character wolves" the
word "vulture,'' II seems to me- would
perhaps be more in keeping with their
species. For, since the regrettable day
the president was stricken, I have sat
watching, in my minds eye. the black
flock setting on their roosts on capitol
hill, doing nothing, looking with sore
eyes down the avenue toward the white
house anxiously waiting the day"

TO take fight. To offer their regrets?
No. but to tear the flesh from the bones
Of the emaciated body lest the dead
might return again, even as he did when
he politely elected the ananias of the
state department.
Pretty commentary. is It not? When
men will stoop TO engage in the cheap
diatribes Of the exploiters at the eI pense
OF their country, which goes to prove
the oft repeated statement that the re-
publican party Is long, very long on
politicians. hut short on statesmanship.
So far have they carried their venom
~ personal hate of the president that
they have almost destroyed the great
glory and honor our nation and the
thousands OF heroic youths won on the
battle field OF France. In their mad
raving they seem determined to tear out
the most remarkable page OF achieve
ment that has ever been written into
our volumes OF American history. In
their infamous attacks, belittling the
achievements of the army and navy, they
have insulted the herOism and devotion
Of every young man that served in either
branch, as well as made ridiculous the
sacrifices of the brave fathers and moth
ers that sent them forth 10 battle Ito

And you will pardon me. Mr. Editor.

United States there are 100000 lost-time
accidents yearly. entailing loss of time
of more than one day each. OF this num-
Der there are $50 600 workers who sus-
tain a disability of more than four weeks
duration. About $4,000 workers are
killed, and from $4,000 to $1,000 more
suffer permanent disability. This loss Ia
estimated to be more than 100000 man
days per year, or the working time OF
over 10000 persons. Each Industrial
worker Is sick on the average of eight
days per year, which amounts to the
time lost Of over 1000, 600 working people
for one year. The loss In wages is over
81 900, 100000 per year, to say nothing Of
the loss in production, the cost of medi-
cal attention, and the cost to the com
munity Of the permanently disabl
workers that cease to be self supporting.
