THE

EVIDENCE.

j-vs Judge Hughes in his Anderson speech told his audience tl\at the Wilson administration "could not point to a single law enacted for the betterment of *. the people." The Judge's sweeping and ,y exaggerated assertions explain why his present trip has been a failure and

"why he has failed to strike a responsive «C

c^ord

in the hearts of the American

People. The most ,casual reader of the ift07

n®W8PaPers

can recall the following

iLf/ acts of the administration which are *. '.ifc considered mindful of human progress 3^

every one excepting Judge Hughes:

2 J' iThe workmen's compensation act *|||J protects the workmen in the employ of gg&J-, the national government who suffer

Physical injury in the service of the nation. XAbor laws which constitute a Magna Charta to laborers of the coun5 try have been enacted. The principle is established that human labor is not \vV- ft mere commodity.

V The child labor law emancipates the children of the nation from industrial X' pPpresBion. 'y" The industrial employes' act estabj. lished a national board of mediation j£

~-l aajd conciliation. It gives the governinent great facilities and influence in preventing or settling great industrial «, r\

labor disputes. The cotton futures act protects the cotton grower^ from gambling manip7t, ""illations of the market and frbm false and artificial standards of exchanges.

The grain standards act gives to grain growers the protection and ad'X': vantage of established grades of. their commodities.

United States warehouse act en-

k' ables farmers to store their products se safely and obtain negotiable warehouse receipts J*hareby-they can obtain loans readily and in due proportion to the 1 value of their products. .The Alaskan railway bill, breaks the grip of great private interests on

Aladka and opens that land to all Americans. The tremendous resources of the nation, Its public lands, coal, oil and gas fields, Its -water power, have been conferred for the benefit of the people i How and In the future, while vast areas bt suitable land have been made availiUe fDr homesteads.

The ITCttptaos have been given a greater measure of freedom In accordance with the fundamental principles •v our government and our pledged

Goa*ism In thi house of representallves has been abolished, and congress is once more a deliberative body.

TCle principle has been materialized -Into law that eight hours constitutes fc lawful day's work, and the country laved from a great strike.

Judge Hughes seems to proceed on •fhe theory that the people have not yet ilsamed to think for themselves. The broth of the matter Is that the people ire already matching the progressive md beneficial legislation of the Wilson Idmtalstration against the Danbury iatters* decision of Judge Hughes, the

ECZEMA ON NECK

In Blisters. Itching and Burning Were Intense. Could Not Sleep. Caused Severe Pain.

HEALED BY CUTICURA SOAP AND OINTMENT

V "Eczema broke out in places on my neck and hands, and later it was clear around my neck and it spread over my hands. It was in the form of blisters and the itching and burning were so intense that I haa to scratch all the time and I could not sleep well nights. It caused quite severe pain and I could not put my hands in water or do my regular work, and"my hands were badly inflamed. "Then I heard of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and started to uste them. After three or four days my peck and.hands (fid not itch and burn so and it only topic two cakes of Cuticura Soap anc? tb|ree boxes of Cuticura Ointment heal me."

RULES OF BEHAVIOR.

The unfortunate American citizen, said to have looked like a workingman, who at Mr. Hughes' meeting in Peoria, 111., made bold to ask civilly, "What would you have done in Mr. Wilson's place?" was unceremoniously thrown into the street. It would seem that workingmen by this time should know that, without violating all the rules of etiquette, they can do nothing at Hughes campaign meetings etxeept applaud a high tariff and Jump on eighthour laws.

The case of this workingman reminds one of the fellow who went to the dance in Idaho. After being thrown out for the third time, he arose and shook the dust off and sagely remarked: "Huh, I guess they don't want me in there."

ANOTHER SHORTAGE.

The Wabash river mussel shell hunter has something to live for. There are shortages in many industrial lines. Some can be charged to that always available cause, the war. Others may be explained by natural shrinkages. There is the pearl button famine, for instance.

The pearl button taken individually is an inconsiderable trifle. It flies from its tethered station and its a,bsence isn't missed. Nobody stoops to pick up a pearl button. There is no element of good luck about it. Yet when we are told that the pearl button deficiency this year means a loss of $8,000,000, the common little disk assumes an unexpected importance.

The button makers of America, most of them from the middle west, met in New York last week and bewailed the shortage. Incidentally, they considered a serious advance in prices. Furthermore, they explained that the unusual high waters of the Mississippi and its tributaries have greatly cut down the supply of mussels, and this means a scarcity of the shells from which the buttons are cut. So the 1916 output will be seriously curtailed, and while, presumably, there will be enough buttons for necessities, there can be no lavish display without a lavish outlay.

Of course the war can't escape a part of the blame. There is little or no chance for securing button material from abroad. The massed workers of Muscatine and all along the great river have become, practically, the pearl button purveyors of the nation.

A NEW FIGURE.

At the time of the Gary dinner the intimation that Col. Roosevelt had come under the influence of the Wall street billionaires was taken with a grain of salt. His admirers were loath to even think of such a transformation in the man. Then came the Chicago convention with Mr. Roosevelt's amazing and mysterious maneuvers, and finally his recommendation to the progressive convention that it take Henry Cabot Lodge as the fusion nominee of the two parties. It took the progressive citizens some hours to believe this, but since then events have

moved rapidly, and any vague notions about Mr. Roosevelt's course have/ been removed.

One sentence in his letter refusing to support a certain candidate for governor of New York is eloquently significant of the former progressive leader's complete surrender to the reactionary group of the party he was once proud to fight. It reflects the new Roosevelt. "It is out of the question for me," the colonel tells the public, "to support any man who is supporting Mr. Wilson in this campaign."

And this is Theodore Roosevelt, the statesman who put principle above expedience, who deserted and tried to wreck a great party because it was controlled by bosses and bourbons, whose sole absorbing purpose in life was the purification of politics—he admitted it himself! Is this part of th* bargain he and his friends put over on their unsophisticated followers in Chicago in June?

No man Is fit for office this year, says the generous colonel, unless he be against President Wilson. From governor to coroner, from senator to assessor, the acid test of capability is adherence to Judge Hughes.

Joy in the camp of Penrose, Smoot and Murray Crane—this Is their doctrine precisely. The colonel's portrait should be hung in every precinct headquarters in the land.

THT BIG FLOP.

Raymond Robins, who ran away from Armageddon when Col. Roosevelt took to the tall and uncut, and who speaks here Monday night, is having about the hardest sledding of any of the stump speakers. Robins was such a conspicuous champion of "social Justice" and "industrial reform" that his present alliance with the Wall street interests has not only amazed his former friends, but is causing them to ask some embarrassing questions.

Robins, erstwhile progressive and aforetime in the very forefront at Armageddon, champion of social Justice and industrial reform, is attacking the Adamson eight-hour law while admitting that there is a sentiment for such a law for "intensive workers."

This has a queer ring, coming from t£e ^Chicago progressive leader who aided in the organization of the progressives in 1912 and who presided over the last sad hours of the bull moose in Chicago last June. In 1912 the progressives, in their "confession of faith," their national platfoVm, made a clean-cut demand for the eight-hour day. In that famous plank of 1912 dealing with "social and industrial reform" there are two demands of much significance when it is considered that SMivRobmsj helpfed aflofct''and supported them. One of these states: "We pledge ourselves to work unceasingly in state and nation for—tne eight-hour day in continuous 24-hour industries."

Again, in the same plank: "We favor the organization of the workers, men and women, as a means of protecting their interests and promoting their progress."

It is submitted that an organization of workers did win the eight-hour day for themselves and for some hundreds of thousands of unorganized workers in a continuous 24-hour industry. Has

the first splendid flower of faith in social Justice and industrial reform faded in the ca.se of the once-upon-artime progressive? Or has Mr. Robins changed his ideas of what constitutes social justice and equity along with his political coat?

The English language is now computed to contain 600,000 words—and that doesn't include a goodly number that ar€| vigorous and popular, but not suitable5 tp print.

Kansas City ,is still talking about reestablishing the pillory for wife beaters. It won't be-fair unless she also re-establishes the ducking stool for scolds.

Judge Hughes' chief regret se6ms to be over the fact that there was no railroad strike and that the industries of the country today are not paralyzed.

Four of the New York reformatory's "honor men" escaped within thirty hours. The trouble doesn't seem to be with the system, but with the men.

In the Iowa state university they are teaching young men to be Janitors. That seems to be one way to get the college Janltof work done cheaply.

Ohio's onion crop is to be six times as large as last year's—and presumably six times as strong.

THE BLESSING OF SHADE.

The kindliest thing God ever made, His hand of very healing laid Upon a fevered world, is shade. His glorious company of trees Throw out their mantles, and on these The dust-stained wanderer finis ease. Green temples, closed against the beat Of noontime's blinding glare and heat, Open to any pilgrim's feet. The white road blisters in the sun Noff, half the weary journey done. Enter and rest, oh, weary one! And feel the dew of dawn still wet Beneath thy feet, and so forget The burning highway's ache and fret. This is God's hosDital ,ty, And who3o rests benep.th ,a tree Hath cause to thank him gratefully. —F.vcrybody's Magazine.

TA-BED DISPLAY ATTRACTS.

Scott & Hart Demonstration Draws Big Crowd. The demonstration of the Ta-bed, a combination library table and folding bed, in the window of the Scott & Hart Furniture company at their store in Wabash avenue near Third street, Friday afternoon, attracted such a large crowd which for a time blockaded the traffic on Wabash avenue. The demonstration was made by Miss Portner, a factory representative of the National Ta-bed company.

Scott & Hart have been showing many new developments in furniture manufacture since their display at. the county fair, but the attendance was swelled Friday by the giving away of one of the new beds.

Mrs. Hazel Russell, 1465 Eagle street, received the Ta-bed when a little girl drew the number, 4283, from'a barrel.

TRUTH FOR PROGRESSIVES.

As leaders of the progressive party, the chief difference between Amos Pinchot and his brother Gifford seems to have been that the former believed in the principles of the party while the latter, did not. It was, accordingly, an easy matter for Gifford to follow the rolonel into the Hughes old guard camp. It is, accordingly an impossible thing for Amos Pinchot to do, and there follows, as a matter of course, his present ringing indorsement of President Wilson.

His letter will stand out as among the most notable documents of this campaign. His declaration that Mr. Wilson has "put into execution progressive principles just as fast or a little faster than Mr. Roosevelt dropped them" is a truth so glaring that no sincere progressive can fail to be guided by it and no spurious progressive can fail to run away from it as fast as he can.—New York World.

Auto Delegation Goes to Indianapolis on Good Roads Day. Increased attention is being shown in the good roads demonstration which will be held at Indianapolis, Oct. J2, since the announcement has been made that President Wilson will be one of the speakers. Earl Houck, chairman of the joint committee, and Charles McKeen, president of the Terre Haute Automobile club, met with the Brazil chamber of commerce and received the assurance of that body that it will havea delegation ready to go to Indianapolis with the local automobile brigade. This assures a large turnout for this part of the state, as many of the other cities along the route have also said they would have a number (?f ca^s to join the party.
