This service was the apex and the

II came as a fitting elimination to
prior years of intense activity during
which he had marshalied and direct

fundamental democracy Of Construc-

which no preceding administration
had excclled and one which any sue
cessor may be proud to equal.
Woodrow Wilson was human, and
SO burdened with a share Of human
infirmity. He was human, and so
subject to error. In this day his er-

very best appointment that the pres
idont could make from his party
ranks-with the possible exception OF
Elihu Root.
Secretary Hughes will bring 20 the
service of his country great ability,
a ripo and learned mind, spotless
character. high courage and resolute
independence. lie will be swayed by
no clique or faction or special interest
or selfish cause in his conduct of the
state department. Nor will he be a
figurehead. He will be secretary OF
state or he will leave the cabinet. lie
combines with a remarkably clear in
teilect a nature that is stern and in
clined to be inflexible and uncom-
promising. When such a man comes
into conflict, as he Is sure to do, with
the senate oligarchy. the result is
sure to prove interesting and it should
be gratifying to all who think more
OF statesmen than OF politicians.
Judge Hughes has the qualities
that go to make a great lawyer, jurist
or statesman. and he is a combination
OF all three. He has very few OF the
qualities that enter into the compost
ton of a successful politician. And
since the secretary Of state should be
something Of a diplomatist as well as
statesman, and since into the making
OF a diplonatist there go much the
same qualities required for a good
politician. we can see here indicated
a weakness that may prove embar-
RAISING IL not costly. Hughes, like
Wilson before him. will have to match
wits with the best minds of Europe.
They are minds as strong as his own,
but with strength they combine an
adroitnoss, a supplcncss, a cunning,
that his lacks. They are masters OF
strategy. of resource, Of invention,
and have had long training In the
fields of diplomacy. We can think Of
no American save Elihu Root compe-
tent to cope with them in these re-
spects.
Nevertheless, we shall be proud to
sec Charles +. Hughes at the head OF
tho state department. He is a good
and true American. he knows his own
mind, and nobody, at home or abroad.

sTOPl LOOK! LISTEN

Joseph has its fun share OF them. The
one in South Park Tuesday was the
result OF carelessness as the track was
clear for a full mile and the train
could easily have been seen.
1t should be remembered by all
autoists that a railroad crossing Is
dangerous and that tho stop. look.

That's What They're Ihere For

The first of Governor Hyde's cab
met" measures passed the House of
Representatives this week by a party
vote. 1t is what Is known as the ag-
ricultural consolidation bill creating
On agricultural commissioner with
salary Of $1,000 per year and provides
for nine heads of the various bureaus
at salaries OF $4,000 per year. Re-
publican members boasted during the
debate on the bill that it is intended
to legislate dem mocrats out of office so
as to put republicans in. And from
partisan viewpoint that is alright.
The democrats in the state gave the
republicans "the club" and they would

matter OF guesswork. There is little
reason, however. to believe that the
old prices will ever be restored. unless

those high war wages, and did not

Why Always the Helpful Oncs7

The United States Supreme Court
has declared unconstitutional sections
of the Lever act on which the gov
ernment has based It's profiteering
prosecutions. 1t not only puts a stop
to further prosecutions of profiteers
but nullifies a number of cases pend
ing in the courts. 1t is unfortunate
that so many laws meant to benefit
the people are later found to be un-
constitutional or to possess flaws that
render them useless.-Glasgow Mis-

And This in Prohibition Kansas?

Kansas apparently is. not going to
help the government in the encour-
agoment of national prohibition, even
though Kansas was the pioneer in
prohibiting the liquor traffic. The
senate judiciary committee has killed
the bill which would prohibit home
brewing and distilling. The attitude
OF the committee was that the state
had law enough to handle the situa-
tion without specific prohibitions
against the home brewing outfits and
the moonshine stills.-Milan Standard.
