WEASEL WORDS.
Judge Hughes seems' to have come out pecond best in his first passage! at urni« with the administration. The Judge said in Chicago that President Wilson had reduced the efficiency ..of the census bureau by driving from the service E. Dana Durand, the director of the servioe. Bureau authorities speaking for President Wilson yesterday told the judge that he was making p. false a«rsrtion, that Mr. Durand resigned, and was not driven out, and asked him to give the correction as Wiki publicity as he gave the original charge.
Mr. Hughes to vindicate himself and Justify his statements last night in Minneapolis read a letter which he had procured from Mr. Durand, intended to corroborate the judge in his statement. In his letter Mr. Durand evidently strained himself to confirm the charges the judge made, and uses this1 obtuse and vague eocplanafion: "My resignation as director was distinctly a forced resiscnation. At the first conversation I had with Secretary Redfield I told him that I would resign, but that I hoped I would be permitted to remain. He at once told me that Che administration had decided that it wanted to make a change."
Mr. Durand says he told the secretary that he "would resign, but that h,e hoped to remain." How he could accomplish tWs. paradox he does not make plain. "Resign," according to the dictionary, means to withdraw, or to yield to another. If Mr. Durand told Mr. Redfield that he was withdrawing, as he says he did, how could he hop* to remain?
Mr. Durand's letter, to the average reader, will "sustain Mr. Redfield and confound Judge Hughes. If he is com* pelled to rely on many such documents for justification during his campaign, he is goirjg to be sore put.
Mr. Durand's amazing feat of "resigning and still remaining" not only defies the laws, of .gravitation, but even deceives the eye!
MR, CADE ,VINDICATED.
Mr. Cade during the rainy spell last summer contended that any one who held that the -falling -weather was due to the war in Europe was shy .on ex-

pert knowledge of the barometer. He had many adversaries- on the point, but now the war rages with even greater ferocity and what do we have? Dry weather absolutely.
The idea that great battles are followed by heavy rains is not a new one. In fact, it is so old that it loses its point—for it obtained before the invention *^f gunpowder. If cannonading causes precipitation, how may we account for the fact that the ancient Greeks believed that rain followed batties?
As matter of fact, it has nevei: been demonstrated that rainfall can be produced by explosions. The theory has been applied by many pseudo-scientists to many inventions, and with unvarying ill success. As far as can be ascertained all precipitation of rain or show is due to the operation of natural causes which condense the air containing a. Jarge amount of vapor, and the idea that these physical conditions are within -human "t^ntrol has .riot, been proved other than fanciful. And the fact that it is often known to1 rain on the day after a battle, or the day after the Fourth of July, may safely be set down to soðing other than the operation of the law of cause and effect. For instance, it has long been observed that rain almost invariably falls on a Sunday school picnic. Yet who would claim that the merry shouts of the children, or the hoarse screams of the ladies whose pie has been invaded, by red ants are instrumental in condensing the humid atmosphere and causing precipitation?
SUMMER TROUBLES.
The dispute as to the general utility of galluses which Mayor Gossom and President Walsh, of the board of public works, failed to settle has an echo in the action of the. National Taik»-s' association which a few days ago declared against this sartorial article.
Suspenders have long been under suspicion as an old fashioned article. Now "they are officially decreed .to be out of date. They are not stylish. They take their place with other things that we used to like but rither imagined we shouldn't. Suspenders are detrop. To keep abreast of the times we must take our chances with the belt. Otherwise we shall be put on refcord as being old fashioned. A belt has certain elements of risk, but we can afford to take thi chances if we would conform to sartorial usages of the new school.
The tailors have 'ruled it in annual convention assembled, but they have found a solution to A very vexatious an gle of the belt problem. They have found a way to wear trousers without suspenders, with a belt as a merely ornamental and not uncomfortable element in man's attire, and with the safety factor perfect. The new scheme applies to fat men and to very thin
Doctor Tells How To Strengthen Eyesight SO per cent In One Week's Time In Many Instances
Prescription Yon Can Have Pilled and Use at Home. Philadelphia. Pa. Do you wear glasses Are you a victim of eye strain or othefc eye weaknesses? If so, you will be glad to know that according to Dr. Lewis there is Teal hope for you. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored thr6ugh the principle of this wonderful free prescription. One man says, after trying it: "I was almost blind could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without any glasses and my eyes do not water any more. At night they would pain dreadfully now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to ®e."i A lady who used It says: "The atmosphere seemed .hazy with or without

It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in a reasonable time and multitudes more will be able
to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared the trouble and expense of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by following the simple rules. Here is the prescription: Go to any active drug storo and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets, prop one Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of a glasu of water and allow to dissolve. "With thiri liquid bathe the eyes, two to four timcri daily. You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start arid inflammation will Quickly disappear. If your eyes are bothering you, even a little, tak^ steps to save them now before it is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eyej in time.
Note: Another promlnenl Physician to whom the abova article was sumitted, said: '"Bon-Opto is a very remarkable remedy. Its constituent Ingredients are well known t* eminent eye specialists and widely prescribed by tbenl. The manu'-c-turera guarantee it to strengthen eyesight 50 per cent in one week's time in many instances or

men, the men who have either tbo much waist or not enough. It is a way of wearing a girdle, of cloth, and of attaching one's trousers to it by the -sound old method of buttons. This happy device, exhibited at the tailors' convention at the other day, and greeted with enthusiasm by the men who model man's styles, removes the last barrier between the world of men and a suspenderless age. Man's cup of happiness may be regarded as full.
WATCHFUL WAITING.
"Watchful wiaiting," poor despised words, in some quarters now get a marvelous endorsement and from a surprising source. "We .should be solicitous," declares one of the two .leading presidential candidates, "to, inquire carefUIly into every grievance, remembering that there are few-, dispute^ which cannot easily be adjusted If there be an impartial examination of the facts. We make common cause in this country, not for a few, but for all and our watchword must be co-operation, not exploitation/'
Imagine the candidate making this statement regarding the Mexican problem and America's' responsibility for its right solution. Surely, no follower of Judge Hughes could brook such a namby-pamby attitude, for the judge cannot examine our record in Mexico "without a profound sense of humiliation."
As a matter of fact, the words are by Judge Hughes himself. They occur in his speech of acceptance. The^ judge, however, was discussing labor, not Mepcico.
Yet a "grievance" is a grievance' whether it be entertained by one nation against another or by one industrial group against ,another industrial group. Should we not be as "solicitous to inquire" into one,as into the other?
Judge Hughes finds he cannot "without a profound sense of humiliation" examine the record of the present administration in the Mexican question, yet that record from theSeginning has been based upon the truth, which the judge himself emphasizes elsewhere in his acceptance speech, namely, that we should be "solicitous to inquire carefully into every grievance," letting America's watchword be "co-operation, not exploitation."
President Wilson has given Mexico 6very chance in the world to abandon anarchy, rejoin the sisterhood of selfrespecting nations and start life over again. The present endeavor to reestablish an understanding by means of a joint commission on which hs ftas named Justice Brandeis and Secretly kane ^preseintej the supreme effort in this direction.
Kfb better indorsement of the Wilson policy in Mexico need be sought than this one furnished by Judge Hughes himself Let us continue to "be solicitous to inquire carefully into every grievance," insisting upon "co-opera-tion, not exploitation" as we help that distressed nation to find itself once more.
There is one argument in favor of bringing the troopfc back from Mexico. To fill some of the many jobs for which Mr. Duffin of the labor bureau has calls for men.

When he regains his senses he finds he has a very sick srirl on his hands and proceeds to nurse her back to health and finaily restores her to her folks. The girl, first regarding the ranchman as a beast, softens toward him whdn she learns he is a regular fellow after all.
