These hogs were bougth at $10.75 a hundred weight and brought their owner a total of $43,398.83. The dressing sheet showed a dress of more than -~Ba-por-ceWt-af-the.-live weight, which is above the average. The entire -drove was hauled in wagons from the “"Wise farm to.the packing house, a distance of thirteen miles, without a single hog being crippled.

WHAT HUGHES WOULD HAVE LEFT UNDONE

That Is Campaign’s True Angle and Not the Trite Question With Which Hecklers Are Nagging the Republican Standard Bearer.--—— ACHIEVEMENTS ASSURANCE BLUNDERING IS NO HABIT Wincing Democrat* Trying to Run Away From th* Record of the Admlniatration and to Inveiglo th* Voters Down Rhetorical Bypath*, All In th* Thinly-Disguised Effort to Chang* th* Subject. When Mr. Hughes criticises the record of the Administration the spokes- ‘ , men of Mr. Wilson cry: “What would you have done?” ’They forget that It . Is Mr. Wilson and not Mr. Hughes who is on trial. They forget that four years ago Mr. Wilson criticised Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt throughout the campaign and that Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt defended their respective records. Instead of crying, “What would you have done?” They forget these things or they refuse to confess them. They are trying to run away from the record of the Adminis-

tration- anil" induce the people to -toU low them down some bypath of rhetorical hypothesis, all in the effort to change the subject. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” When Mr. Hughes was Governor of New York he did not pay political debts by filling the public offices with unfit men. He did not champion certain principles during his campaign and repudiate them after he entered office. As Governor, he did not resort to brave and beautiful words as a substitute for firm and consistent deeds. He was careful In bls use of words, but be backed his words with deeds. He did not promise what he <;ould not perform. He did not plaster the people with compliments they did not deserve. He was not a rhetorician, he was not a flatterer, he was not "too proud to light” for labor or for capital, for the strong er the weak, when the right was on their side. Mr. Wilson’s spokesmen seek to divert attention from the attacks Mr. Hughes Is making upon the record of the Administration by asking him, “What would you do?” They are unconsciously helping Mr. Hughes. They are recalling to the memory of the people the record he made throughout his two terms as Governor of New York. It was then that ce first said “public office shall not be a private snap under my administration," and made performance square with promise. There Is this about Mr. Hughes that makes him so different from Mr. Wilson: “Hughes means what he says.” So it is that the campaign is really a contest of character between two men, with sincerity as the differentlating and deciding factor.

FIERY WORDS.

“Direct violations of a nation’s sovereignty cannot await vindication in suits for damage. The nation which violates those essential rights must be checked and called to account by direct challenge and resistance.’’ From Woodrow* Wilson’s Speech Accepting the Democratic Nomination For Presidency. BUTThe American flag Is still unsaluted at Vera Cruz. Villa Is still uncaptured and unpunished. Carranza still slaps the United States. ♦ . - There still has been no accounting for American lives and property destroyed in Mexico. The whole .question of reparation for Invasion of American rights by various warring nations is still sleeping In a pigeonhole. AND—• All the “direct challenge and resistance” noticon bio to the average Amertcan Is Included In a series of notes said to possess high literary quality, if nothing else In particular.

Wabbling Woodrow.

Opportunism has claims that every statesman must respect. But never has there been an opportunist in the White House of greater willingness to change than the present Incumbent The country feared it had placed power in the hands of a doctrinaire schoolmaster Incapable of bending. It finds that it has a man of reinarkdble plasticity of judgment, - .who one moment stands for states’ rights and the next for nationalism, who one day is a pacifist, and-the next is out-shouting Col. Roosevelt for arms and ships, who one week is fbr a barren neutrality and the next for war in behalf of general righteousness, who one night Is for collective wage bargaining and arbitration of Industrial disputes and the next is waving the flag of decreeing wages up or down as the votes of the larger number can be. controlled.— New York Globe and Commercial Advertiser.

Gen. Pershing’s army continues in fine fettle, “fit for a fight or a frolic.” To Its credit let it be paid It went as far as politics , permitted.

Editorial Comments

The Democrats continue to ignore Mr. Hughes' speeches to the extent that all they do is to sputter and gasp. Let it be conceded there are really strong grounds for the opinion that President Wilson may carry Texas next November. If these indications are taken at their full worth some enthusiasts will soon be going out to bet that the tide will sweep ou until Mississippi and Alabama are also enrolled in the Democratic column. Many big Democrats willing and ready to speak for Wilson are careful that their money shall not say anything on his side. —• President Wilson says he is utterly indifferent as to his re-election. Perhaps that explains a good things nobody has heretofore bron able to understand. “Help me, Cassius, or 1 sink!" For “Cassius” read “congress.” The notion seems to be that the Democratic national chairman is claiming more than he will get. but not any more than he will need. As further evidence that he is warm hearted and intensely human, jfw Hughes likes apple pie. No man is going to be elected--or re-elected-to high office by votes gained from states’ rights declarations this late in the game. The states’ rights question was settled some fifty years ago to the evident satisfaction of a considerable majority. —“Kansas City Star.

“Adequate preparedness is not militarism. It is the essential assurance of security. It is a necessary safeguard of peace.” Candidate Hughes has left nothing to be said on this subject. He has snuffed out counter argument at the very outset.

“Are we Americans a nation of bunglers?” asks the New York Sun. It would be very harsh to answer this in the affirmative—and, anyway, we elect a Democratic president only every once In a while.

Charles E. Hughes cannot get so far away from Washington that the men in charge of the chariot of government there do not feel the jolting of his criticisms. In fact, the Democratic leader* at the capital.city show~symp • toms of seasickness from the way In Which the ex-justice of the supreme court has shaken them up. Mr. Hughes is pursuing the only proper method, which Is first to take the deadwood out of the way so that the path to righteous and propitious government may be made clear.

THE NEUTRALITY OF PONTIUS PILATE

I " ~ • But as soon as the need for ’ deeds arose Mr. Wilson forgot • all about, “the principle he held > dear.” He promptly announced • that we should be “neutral In • fact as well as in name, in > thought as well as in action,” 1 between the small, weak, unof- • fending nation and the large, > strong nation which was rob- • Ing It of Its sovereignty and In- « dependence. Such neutrality has ’ been compared to the neutrality « of Pontius Pilate. This is un- • Just to Pontius Pilate, who at • least gently urged moderation > on the wrongdoer. From the • speech of Colonel Theodore • Roosevelt, delivered at Lewls- > ton, Me., in behalf of Charles E. • Hughes.

The president gets up early during the hot spell, and there are some who think he may have to continue the practice until November if that man Hughes continues to be so undignified.— Pittsburgh Dispatch.

WILSON’S IGNOBLE, UNSUCCESSFUL LITTLE WARS.

4 * 4. President Wilson took Vera i* 4 Crux in 1914, as we were official- 4 4 ly informed at the time, to get 4 4 a salute for the flag and to pre- 4 4* vent the shipment of arms into 4* 4 Mexico. He did not get his sa- 4 4. lute. He did not prevent the 4 4 shipment of arms. But several 4 4> hundred men were killed or 4 4 wounded, and then he brought 4* 4 the army home without achiev- 4* 4* ing either object. President 4* 4 Wilson sent an army into Mex- 4 4 ico in 1916, as we were informed 4 4 at the time, to get Villa “dead 4 4- or alive." They did not get him 4 4 dead. They did not get him 4* 4* alive. Again several hundred 4 4- men were killed and wounded. 4 4- Again President Wilson is bring- 4 4- i,ng the army home without 4 4 achieving his object. Of course 4 4» it is a mere play upon words "4* 4. to say that these were not 4 4. "wars." They were wars and 4 4 nothing else— ignoble, pointless, 4 4* unsuccessful ilittle wars, but 4 4- wars. They cost millions of dol- 4 4> lars and hundreds of lives, 4 4 squandered to no purpose. They 4 4 accomplished nothing, but they 4 4 were wars.—From the Speech of 4 4 Colonel Theodore! Roosevelt, De- 4 4 livered at Lewiston, Me., in Bo- 4 4 half of Charles E. Hughes. 4 + 44.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.444444444

EMPTY PHRASES INSTEAD OF CONCRETE ACTION.

Not one* ha* President Wilson squarely placed b*fore th* American people th* question which Abraham Lincoln put before the American people in 1860, What i* our duty? Not once has he appealed to moral idealism, to the stern enthusiasm of strong men for the right. On the contrary, he has employed every elocutionary device to lull to sleep our sense of duty, to make us content with words instead of deeds, to make our moral idealism and enthusiasm evaporate in empty phrase* instead of being reduced to concrete action.—From the Speech of Colo- , nel Theodore Roosevelt, Delivered st Lewiston, Me., in Behalf of Charles E. Hughes.

Telling Tariff Points

Let these telling pbints on tariff and protection in the speech by Charles Evans Hughes, the Republican candidate for President, delivered In the Salt Lake Tabernacle, be fixed permanently in your mind and memory during the remainder of the campaign: We are desirous of having strong and sure the foundations of our national greatness in. this pursuit of competition among the nations which is sure to follow the cessation of the present struggle.

I propose that the Republican party as the national party, according to the constitution of the United States, within the national sphere, shall proceed wherever it is practicable to build up and foster and encourage American enterprise and open the doors wide for honest American achievement.

Then came the Underwood tariff bill itself. What was the result? Enterprise halted and there was a contraction of trade throughout the land, and America, instead of going ahead, stopped. That is what happened. Three hundred thousand were unemployed in the city of New York. There was not a city in this land where the jobless ru£n anxious and able to work did not walk the street They were fed by our charitable organizations, which were taxed to the utmost limit to provide for those for whom American enterprise could no longer make provision. It was a sad spectacle. Americans have not forgotten it. It is not forgotten here or anywhere. It cannot be forgotten. It is too recent

If you are gping to have the basis for prosperity in this country, if you are going to protect the American wage scale, if you are going to have American enterprise able to meet the competition which will follow the ending of this war, you must have jan honestly devised, wisely framed tariff law to protect American Industry. No; the Democratic party will not be saved by the European war. If you would know what our condition will be when that war ends think of what our condition was before that war began if you think these nations are so impoverished that they cannot again turn to work. Those millions of men now fighting are better able to work than-evet-before-Jm their- lives,— *—*- Their factories are there; their plants are there; they know themselves better than ever before. They are better disciplined, more alert, keener, stronger, better physically, than ever before in the main, and they are ready to turn great national energies into the pursuits of peace to pay their war bills, to produce up to the limit, to send their goods throughout the world.

I propose that we shall study this out, applying a principle that we believein, and secure Intelligently and honestly adequate protection to American industries in every part of this land.

WHY HUGHES IS NEEDED IN THIS TREMENDOUS CRIBIS.

_ • Against Mr. Wilson’s comblna- • tion of grace in elocution with • futility In action, against his rec- • ord of words unbacked by deeds • or betrayed by deeds, we set Mr. • Hughes’ rugged and uncompro- • raising straightforwardness of • character and action in every of- • flee he has held. We put the • man who thinks and speaks di- • rectly and whose words have al- • ways been made good against • the man whose adroit and facile • elocution is used to conceal his * plans or his want of plans. The ■ next - fbur years may well be ? years of tremendous national • strain. Which of the two men • do you, the American people, • wish at the helm during these • been actually tried and found • wanting or the man whose whole • career In public office is a guar- • an tee of his power and good • faith? But one answer is possi- • ble, and it must be given by the • American people through United • States. From Speech of. • Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, De- • livered at Lewiston, Me.. In Be • half of Charles E. Hughes. a

WILSON KISSED THE HAND RED WITH AMERICAN BLOOD.

• President Wilson explicitly ■ shows that the Carranzlstas, not • once, but repeatedly, made at- • tacks on American towns and • killed* American citizens and mu- > tilated them in September, 1915. • Yet on Qct. 19, 1915, less than a > month later, this same President • Wilson, through his same secre- • tary of state, formally announc- . ed to Carransa’a agent that it ■ was his "pleasure” to take the • opportunity “of extending rec- ’ ognltion. to lEb de facto govern- • ment of Mexico of which Gen- • eral Venustlano Carranza is the > chief executive.” President Wil- • son thus recognized the govem- > ment whUJi, his own secretary of • state declares, had been less 1 than a month previously engaged « in repeated assaults upon Amerl- ■ cans and in the invasion of Amer- > lean soil, the government at • whose head was General Car- • ranza, who, less than two months > previously, on Aug. 2, 1915, had « contemptuously refused to pay • any heed to any representations • of President Wilson on behalf of • mediation, saying that “under no • consideration would I permit In- • terference in the internal affairs ■ of Mexico.” President Wilson . did not merely kiss the hand • that slapped him in the face. He • kissed that hand when it was « red with the blood of American • men, women and children who • had been murdered and mutilat- • ed with, as President Wilson, , through his secretary of state, • says, “ruthless brutality."-From ■ the Speech of Colonel Theodore • Roosevelt, Delivered at Lewiston, • Me., in behalf of Charles E. i Hughes.

(N. Y.) SUN STROKES.

Roger Sullivan steps aside -Newspaper headline. Students of Democratic politics know what a thin line divides stepping aside and sidestepping. The Democrats seem to realize, to their dismay, that if they can’t persuade Mr. Hughes to change from plaintiff to defendant the case is lost The president “will not take the stump," but “will accept Invitations to speak atJlifferent places.” Chairman Vance McCormick IsasMachiavelllan as a muskmelon.

It is not what Wilson has kept us out of but what he’s got us Into that counts at present.

VILLA AIDED BY WILSON’S FAVOR AND BACKING.

In March last Villa” made a • raid into American territory. He • was a bandit leader whose career of successful infamy had been greatly aided by Mr. Wilaon’s favor and backing. He was at the head of Mexican sol- - diers, whose arms and munitions had been supplied to them in consequence of Mr. Wilson’s reversing Mr. Taft’s policy and ■ lifting the embargo against arms • and munitions Into Mexico. They • attacked Columbus, New Mexico, • and killed a number of civilians • —«nd--a~iMH»beF...of-United-States: troops. On the next day the • president Issued an announcement that adequate forces would • be sent In pursuit of Villa “with • the single object of capturing • him.” On April Sth, the an- • nouncement was made from the • White House that the troops - would remain in Mexico until • Villa was captured. It was ■ furthermore announced in the * press dispatches from Washington that he was to be taken < “dead or alive." Fine words! ■ Only—they meant nothing. He • is not dead. He has not been • taken alive. - From Speech of ■ Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, De- ■ llvered at Lewiston, Me., in Be- • half of Charles E. Hughes.

Mr. Wilson during the past few days has become such a life long opponent of the pork barrel that he is almost sorry now he didn’t veto some of those bflls. Secretary McAdoo warns Treasury employees against too much political activity, and if they don’t disobey the order they are likely to be bounced.

A HEARTLESS ADMINISTRATION

HEALTH NOTE.

To Increase the growth of the eyebrows, rub pure olive oil In regularly each night. Nuts are extremely rich and nutritious, vegetarians using them In place of meat and butter. If the finger nails are brittle and break when manicured, put the finger tips in olive oil or a little melted vaseline before cutting them. A girl who for some time had suffered extreme annoyance from cold feet tried the following with splendid effect: Every morning she rubbed the feet with handfuls of wet salt until the skin was in a glow, rinsing off the salt with cool water and rubbing with cool water and rubbing with a coarse towel. A piece of paper cut to fit the bottom of the foot was slipped over the sole and the stocking carefully drawn on. To keep the skin soft, pliable and smooth, have a lotion of glycerin, benzoity and rosewater always at hand, and rub it into the skin whenever lie bands have bee© in the water for some time. Before going out into the, air wash the hands in lukewarm water, dry them slightly and, while still damp, rub the lotion well Into the skin. Such a treatment, conscientiously pursued, will keep hands youthful-looking and plump, despite t£e inroads of work or weather.

NEEDLEWORK.

A pattern pocket will be found a great convenience. Take a strip of plain cloth of the required length and make on it as many pockets as there ".re members of the family. Outline an initial on each pocket and hang in a ennvenientpjace near your sewing table. Much time will be saved in searching for any particular pattern. Half the disparagement of needles is due to using those unsuited in number to the silk or cotton. Try to draw a coarre thread through a fine eye and the thread splits and knots, besides not sewing smoothly. Use crewel needles—which come in all sizes and lengths for embroidering. If nervous, never use too coarse a needle, as it pushes badly and constantly comes unthreaded. Instead of putting buttons on pillow cases in the usual way the Germans follow this method: They make three buttonholes in both the hems of the case, then on a broad piece of liner tape they sew buttons, hemming both ends of the tape. To fasten you simply pass the buttons through the notes from the under side of the hem first, and so to the upper one. When the case is sent to the wash the tape is removed and kept until required.

French Fried Potatoes.

Wash, pare, and cut Into eights, lengthwise. Soak in cold water one hour; drain, and dry between towels. Fry In deep fat, which must not be too hot. Drain on brown paper and sprin kle with salt
