It , has come to be something like a con- ; tinuous performance with the distin- i Ituished ex-president. The German , submarine U-53 and its raids on allied | commerce off the New England coast i are responsible for the latest coniri- i bution to the colonel’s troubles. I Mr. Hughes has announced that he i refrains from comment on the new submarine situation brought about by the nearness of the submarine war- 1 fare to the New England coast 1 through his desire to do nothing ane 1 to say nothing that might enibart’s the president in dealing with the new ; development in the war problems. Colonel Roosevelt, however, who is E doing more or less of the talking in 1 behalf of Mr. Hughes, and who natur- 1 ally expects to have some further t things to say regarding the conduct 1 of affairs should Mr. Hughes be sue- i cessful at the polls, is restrained by no such fine considerations. His belligerent spirit refuses to be circu.m- I scribed by the proprieties to whi< h > - 1 if m not «-t ordinary man. He will doubtless t cheerfully admit that much himself. « In any event, the eolbnel has again < spoken. He sees in the visit of the I German submarine to west Atlantic c waters another instance of “the com- a plete breakdown of the code of inter- s national rights,” and this he blames t on ‘‘the Pontius Pilate-like construe- it lien which President Wilson has put n

lon neutrality." Just what the colonel would do In this juncture is not made '1 definite, hut one is left to infer that , it would be something terrifically spectacular— perhaps even gory, for f the colonel is strong for that sort < f , thing. Perhaps Mr. Hughes, who has ( said that he and Colonel Roosevelt 1 are "in complete accord on every- 1 thing," knows what it is. The rest * of us do not. We are certain only 1 of the fact that he is imsitive .every- 1 thing the president has done is 1 wrong, and that if Mr. Hughes should 1 be the choice of the people for the 1 ency, the colonel will under- ’ take to guarantee that things are 1 going to be a lot different anti a good deal more Rooseveltian. And does * that prospect look all ring to anybody save the perturbed c lonol him- 1 self?—For( Wayne Sentln.l. • ; L— The republicans are still rambling ' in search of an issue something, a. y thing they can use to bolster up their rapidly dying cause. They won't find it. Henry Lane Wilson thinks we ought to be at war. So does Colonel Roosevelt. Do you? Stop and think serlously about this matter for you will give your answer on election day and it cannot be taken back. Candidate Hughes and his solid Pullman train of eleven coaches is being hidden in the hills of Kentucky Missouri and Virginia this week and we wonder if it is being done purposely to keep him out of the real battle ground. Champ Clark made a speech in Missouri a few years ago in which h? fairly, riddled ijhe republicans and clmsed by asking some one to give him one reason why they should vote the republican ticket and frpm the rear of the hall came a answer —$9.<io for hog.-.” And they voted it. No v hogs are quoted at $10.50 under a democratic administration. Why not be just as fair now and vote the democrat ticket? What do you w/mt changed by the the administration? Do you realize that a change of administrations at this time is to be a change for he worse, because*it would be hard to have times any better? Then you forg.. t any little treasons and support the administration that has given you a dozen good lawc, kept the nation»out of war and made the financial conditions the best ee<-r known while the rest of the world is ‘up side down. James p. Goodrich is president ot the board of directors of the Washington Water. Light and Power coni-p-n". *t:? ’cffersonville Water : nd Power company, is a director ot the Union City Heat, Light and Power company. Goodrich Bios. Grain I Company, a large stockholder in six j Indiana banks, and is interested in. a dozen other public utility companies and big business concerns of the state. Do yVm believe he ought to i be placed in a position to name the ‘ members of the public service commission of this state? Its the big- i

gest business deal this millionaire promoter has ever pulled off. The principle baostera for the r< • publicans Just now are those who hope to secure a political Job or have bet on the outcome. No wonder they can’t go-up against the democrat who believes in the principles of his party and has cons kle net in Preaidwit Wilson and the other candidates on his ticket. The republicans are without an issue of any kind this year while the democrats have everything. Its tough boys but our sincere belief is that the man who bets thia year nn the republican candidates will have to settle and those who hope to get jolts under republican administrations are wasting their time and energy. g DOINGS IN SOCIETY | ‘Jinscr-zccccEcacsctJctJEXcsM ’ WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR.
