Hughes was corrected on hia
w "Msertion that President Wilson had
,v
driven Mr. Herrick out of the consular seWice when it was shown that Mr. Herriek himself applied for his release.
Now Mr. Hughes' charges that the Jtgebdetic department and civil service system has been injured by others being forced out, and the prompt and complete disavowal of the statement 5-by these two departments brings the frokclusion that the material for his v -speeches for his tour has been prespared, not with an eye to public serv„i«e and public good, but rather with a tpurpose of surreptitiously advancing his political fortunes.
If the other charges which Judge Hughes is-making against the presiv deint are so unstable, he has been illy counseled. For if one or several charges are shown to be false, the average citizen is prone to reject the who)e argument.
Judge Hughes, according to many .' people who want war with Mexico, has -a case against the president. He could havfe the public ear on that issue, but
,!he
,is defeating his plea by irrelevant knfl fictit'ious matter. The day for such '^ltt^thods is passed.

BAD ADVICE.
Every citizen will deplore the situation which threatens to arise between Mr. (Wilson and Mr. Hughes. No one will believe that Judge Hughes has avowedly set out on a speech makitig 'tour bent on misrepresenting the presider^t or gaining the least advantage 'by the use of misinformation, which is calling it by the mildest terms.
riously, although there is no doubting his figures. It is a curious coincidence that furnishes gentle hot weather talk material. It is as good a thing to worry about as afty.
A New Yoi^k man comes to the front with another warm weather subject that easily- lends itself to the worry cause. This man is a scientist who has figured out the number of cats in America, and bitterly denounces the feline tribe. According to him there are 25,000,000 cats in the country, and every one of them should be killed. Whether he counted them himself or hired somebody else to do it for him is not disclosed. He also insists that in New York state alone cats have killed 3,500,000 birds. As a .practical suggestion he urges the training of lizards as house pets. He sees a millennium when the cat is extinct and the coy and affectionate reptile has taken its place on our American.-hearths.
These themes are suggested to the worrisome for their value at this time of year, when it is hard to think at all, and worry should be made easy.
IRELAND'S GOOD.
In making a hero out of Sir Roger Casement many journals »seem to interpret his heroic finish as being in contrast to what they seem to consider the undesirable position of John Redmond, the Irish leader. Redmond gives telling rebuke to these by his refusal a few days ago to Accept a place in the British cabinet, saying that his efforts for the advancement cause would not permit such a course. He said that his native"land demanded his life and strength.
Many Irishmen in this country deplore the Casement exploit. They feel, and rightly too, that it has set back the cause of Irish liberty many years. Of course Casement's death at the end of a hangman's rope is a pathetic and tragic finale of one more Irish struggle for political independence. Casement deliberately, with his eyes wide open, engineered a rebellion in Ireland that was of short duration but had for its purpose the freeing of that country from what is to a considerable proportion of. her population an irksome union with England. England being at war, the time was considered auspicious for Ireland to strike for freedom. Casement, the leader, was captured as he was being landed from a German submarine on the Irish coast. The submarine was convoying a German freight steamer laden with arms and munitions for the Irish revolutionists.
It was a harebrained adventure, be sure, and one bound to fail. Of the absolute sincerity and unselfishness of its promoters there can be no doubt. Casement was stripped of his English knighthood and eventually hanged for his pains. His only plea for an acquittal on the charge of treason was that, technically, he was of Ireland, for which he strove. Therefore he could not be guilty of the crime of high treason.
It was a pretty distinction, but unfortunately England could not see it and had the power to decide against it. Moreover it must be borne in mind

that Casement had accepted high honors from'England, and had worn his title as a gift from an English sovereign. This he had renounced before planning hi^'abortive revolution. He was not even granted the slight boon of being hanged with a silk cord, the usual privilege of a man who has worn the badge of English knighthood. Casement dangled from the end of a plain hempen rope, as a common malefactor.
It is the last chapter of a tragic life story, and one more leaf in the tragic history of an unhappy country.
A RIFT IN THE CLOUDS.
.Dispatches to the Tiibune today detailing the fighting about Hill 109 would seem to indicate that with its third year the war is increasing in ferocity and that the outlook is one of despair. There are signs and tokens however of a better day.
While this is going on peace talk begins to get stronger in the two "big countries that are involved. Premier Asquith makes a speech in the house of commons, in. the course of .which .he quite frankly states England's attitude as friendly to a peace proposition. Asquith'does not surrender any of the British and allied contentions, but he does outline British terms, and they are remarkably conservative. Briefly, they mark a recession from the old British demands, in that they make no mention of Alsace and Lorraine and Poland, too, is left out of the British equation.
On'the same' day thit Asquith talks to the house Germans hold peace meetings in some forty of their principal cities. Vienna, of course, will follow Berlin, and Petrograd will follow London. So we may accept the English and German peace talk as reflecting the feeling of the two armed camps of Europe.
It is important that one give the German peace meetings the same value of authority as the British premier's talk in the house of commons, because the German meetings were entirely free from governmental interference. They were not inspired, of course, but they were negatively sanctioned. We should
4
not be overly sanguine, but we may be pardoned if we take an optimistic view.
BOARDING HOUSE STRATEGY.
'Twas a strange case Justice Jimmy Madigan had in his court of justice over on Third street yesterday. But it certainly goes to prove that at last the long suffering boarding house mis-tress-haar rebelled by putting the lid down on war arguments at her table. She even summoned the aid of the law to recall an ex-boarder who left, not because his coffee was too cold, but because the war talk was too warm
Not al! left of their own accord, however. "When I decided on this," said the lady of the house, "the first thing I did was to ask the worst war agitator to leave the house. He drove away five boarders with his tirades against the Germans."
Now that the conversational smoke has cleared away and the normal topics of hot weather and vacation schedules may be peacefully resumed, it is to be hoped that the pacifists will be induced to return.
Since no complaint whatever \ras entered against either the food or the service, one may.conclude it was only the mental atmosphere that grated on the sensibilities of the guests. It took real bravery to start a reform like that. Even the "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" himself would find it something of a task to direct popular conversation away from the "ain't-the-war-terrible" stuff.
Now that a woman has had the courage to do the pioneer work and, incidentally, furnish the idea, why doesn't somebody start a league or an associa-

Thursday, August 10, 19|6.
This is a variable and uncertain day, according' to astrology. Early in the morning Mercury is in benefic aspect and later Jupiter is friendly, but the sun, Uranus and Venus are all adverse.
Advertising and publicity are under the best direction. Editors and publishers should benefit greatly they are coming into a period of extraordinary opportunity to win success.
There is a good sign for writers. A new humorist, who is also a poet is promised by the seers.
This is said to be an unlucky rule for political candidates who expect the aidJ.of'men in^power. The stars indicate a tendency to lose through misunderstandings and lack of diplomacy.
Women have an exceedingly unfavorable leading while this configuration prevails.
Actresses come under a sway that gives them some new avenue of activity.
Again changes in motion picture conditions are presaged. Immense combinations of interests are indicated and litigation is foreshadqwed.
Theatrical managers have the prognostication of a busy season with tremendous increase of competition.
Again surprises in election conditions are prognosticated. September will develop some sudden change in public sentiment, it is said, and sensational incidents are foretold.
The death of a famous scientist is presaged. A woman of note also will end a brilliant career.
Persons whose birthdate it is should be careful of false' friends during the coming year. They should keep business well in hand. Children born on this day probably will have eventful careers. They may meet serious troubles as well as great successes. Public functions should be avoided.
