HUGHES ODDS.

A New York dispatch says that the I odds on Hughes have dropped from two 4 to one and nine to five to even money •'if' jand that the slump in the bets has jcome since he began his western tour.

To the uninitiated it is explained that men had

this means that two weeks ago Who bet believed that Hughes

twice "as good show to be elected as ffrad Wilson. Today they believe that ffvilsoti has jUst as good show to be Ipji^cted as Hughes has, or rather, considering that he is in, that he has a l®beiter show and is a better chance in -ith« wagering.

Th«' case merely reflects how the ^American,

mind

has

changed towards

Judge Hughe's since he began his president tour. The judge's chief plaint has .jbeen that President Wilson replaced :republican office holders with democrats and that he injured certain departments thereby. This issue, which the judge seems to make his chief rprop in being elected president, has ^failed.

Even in this sort of a campaign Judge Hughes is missing Are. He ^appears to be the victim of misinforvjtaptation. In several speeches Judge *|Hughes has been agonizing about the .^retirement of O. H. Tittmann of Lees^fcurg, Va., from the coast and geodetic purvey. Yesterday Judge Hughes was nfprmed by Mr. Tittmann that he was

Entirely mistaken and that his resig|natiori from the purvey "was not a *|fOrced one in any" sense." y With Mr. Tittmann, whoever he may now out of the' campaign, Judge ^Itughes still has another great issue. has fallen back, tearfully, on a (Tlt^aige, during the Wilson adnllnistra-! plpn, in the minor position of Assistant appraiser of merchandise In N^w York jj|6ity. President Wilson, is indicted by |ff {Jp'udgo Hughes for giving the place to t- *^'|fctae son of a New York politician. For

'/Mhis he should be defe'ated and Judge ^C^ughes elected. In prosecuting this sort of a cam-

-")such

Judge Hughes indulging, to

jthe disappointment of the entire counfry, In picayune politics. In a period

as this, at a time when the greatest events in human history are tranft. Spiring, something far bigger was ex ~'«$»feeted of Judge Hughes. The times

much more than an appeal "to

jive the boys a chance."

yp until two weeks ago the suggfesjr |ion that this sort of political argu *%ent would appeal to Judge Hughes ^/ould have been laughed out of couni fynanc®. A candidate for constable in

THE RAILROAD 8TRIKE.

President Wilson can know that he has behind him in his efforts to pfervent thi railroad..Btrike the beBt wishes of every citizen of the nation. He has entered upon the task deeply cognizant of the rights of each side, but, too, he is Imbued with a purpose to look after the interests of the people. The department of commerce made a survey of what the probability of such a strike would be.

The inquiry into just what would happen in the event of a general railway strike was made at a time when no strike threatened. It was made with the co-operation and assistance of the federal government through the department of commerce. It was thorough. It took count not alone of the amount and character of the daily food shipments, but of the average reserve stock of food in the cities. It was demonstrated that in a little more than twenty-four hours the markets in the cities would be stripped bare of all fresh foods and twenty-four hours more would result in the exhaustion of the supplies of cooked, uncooked, canned and preserved foods..

It is such a prospect, without enumerating any of the numerous other evils, that brings to mind just what a country-wide railway strike would mean. It is a condition, of course, that would be intolerable and could not long be endured.

There is no disposition throughout the country to deny, by governmental action or otherwise, the full rights of either the railway heads or the railway employes when it comes to differences of opinion over their joint relations. The public, certainly, has no desire to be unjust to either, side. But the public itself, in the matter of a railway strike, has interests involved that far transcend any other interest, interests that must be protected.

In such a situation as that attached, without escape, to a railway strike the rights of the public rise supreme. The interests of society as a whole arose above that of any class. It is in the Interests of society as a whole that a general railway strike must be averted.

It is the public that protects the railway employe in his Job as well as the railway officials and stockholders In their property rights. In view of the overwhelming public rights the conflicting! railway Interests must, If necessary, be forced to carry on parleys over the terms and conditions of their mutual relations without gravely^ ln$'periling tlie lives, as well as the' p«4lie and' security o£ 100,000,000 people.

THE RULING PASSION.

A large part of a political chairman's duties is td? make claims. To rally the adding machines and prognosticate what is going to happen several months in advance. In this they outdo Madame Katich, the celebrated se§ress, who predicted the end of the world on April 19, last, and the death of the kaiser on June

Claiming practically everything in sight, Republican National Chairman Willcox has issued his first, statistical bulletin. All doubtful states are brushed into the Hughes column with a wave of the hand. According to the Willcox table the ejection is all over, further campaigning a mere perfunctory performance.

It was just four years ago that Republican Chairman Hilles, following1 custom, if

his first statistical broad-

Side.. In n he proved just as conclusively ahd inescapably, as does Chairman Willcox in the present Instance, that William H, Taft was. certain to be' re-elected president. Th« Hilles table demonstrated the mountainous 'Slzd of the Taft majority and how, state by. state, he was going to sweep into office.

The practice indulged In by political chairmen of counting in August the 15,000,000 votes to be cast, more or less, in November, is delightfully funny. These political prognosticators deceive no one, not even themselves. Settling the election by cold and calculating 'figures, months before the electors go ,to. the polls, is a part of the bunk to which party managers invariably apply tthem9elv.es.

Chairman Willcox has been Indulging in a customary innocent pastime. Not intended to be, his figures are nevertheless funny.

Mr. Hilles four years ago this time gave Mr. Taft thirty-two states. He wai right on the last figure—two—Mr. Taft carried Vermont and Utah. So the practicability of Mr. Wlllcox's trouble can be Imagined.

Out in St. Louis they have been adjourning court to see the Browns play ball. 'What moments the distribution of Justice in the face of a pennant i v e

In denouncing democratic legislation Candidate Hughes might stop to explain why so many republican members of congress voted for it.

Saturday, August 19, 1916.

Astrologers read this as an uncertain day. Although Venus and Mercury are in benefic aspect, Saturn and Uranus are adverse.

The planets are read as indicating an upheaval, of .Rubric thought, which will not only affect political'conditions but extend to' religious institutions.

Women have a ialfiy favorable rule today, but they should beware of false counsels.

There is a promising sign for actresses, singers and all who bespeak public favor.

Romance has a sinister direction while this.configuration prevails. Elderly persons should be particularly cautious, for they are supposed to be foolishly susceptible under this 'sway.

All the stars appear to bear out the prognostication that ther§ will be much sensational news for the periodicals to chronlclo before the beginning of winter. Again scandals in which the most prominent persons are involved are prophesied.

This is a particularly unlucky influence under which to buy or exchange property.

Mining has an evil forecast, which may indicate strikes or other labor difficulties.

Planetary -conditions seem to foreshadow sensational occurrences in the west, which comes into a direction read as giving promise of access of power in the political and financial world. Statesmen from beyond the Mississippi river will gain fame in congress.

Uranus gives warning of the appearances of false prophets and the launching of strange cults, which will win adherents.

Partnerships or contracts should not be entered into today. Strangers should not be trusted readily.

The death of a public man, who has a large following is prophesied. Increase of mental unsoundness is strongly presaged. This may be greater among women than among men.

Persons who^e birthdate it is probably will have 'good luck if they pursue routine affairs and avoid changes.

Children born on this day may have restless natures, but they easily win success. Boys are likely to be athletic and girls vigorous.

Interurban Accidents.

Editor Tribune—In view of the fact that such dreadful accidents are occurring at points where the interurbans cross the public highways, why should not the traction company be compfelled to place oscillating signals with bell attachments at these junctions?

It would be much cheaper than elevating or .depressing their tracks, which they must necessarily do If these accidents continue.
