COMPLAINTS AND EVASIONS

Judge Hughes has been going to and fro in the land and talked up and down in it for six weeks, trying to persuade the people to turn an experienced public servant out of the White House and put Charles Evans in it. Yet so far, he has offered no reason for changing Presidents that would justify a factor}- owner in hiring a new secondassistant subforman in place of the old one. He has not even challenged the value of many of the reforms secured by President Wilson; the federal reserve act, which saved the nation from chaos at the outbreak of war; the farm credits act, which gives the farmer a chance to secure capital on equal terms with other business men; the workmen’s compensation act, doing justice to federal employes injured during their service; the child labor bill which holds back the mills of avarice from grinding up the seed corn of the nation. These four reforms alone would entitle President Wilson to re-elec-tion. So ready a fault-finder as Judge Hughes has been obliged to evade mention of them because he dares not condemn them—yet he aspires to the place of the man who did the things which he is afraid even to criticise! Where Judge Hughes does venture to challenge the "Wilson record his criticism is neither constructive nor specific. It is merely monotonous complaining. He finds fault with the Underwood tariff, but carefully avoids giving details as to the sort of tariff which he favors. Perhaps, however, one can deduce this information from the names of the judge’s followers—Boise Penrose, Murray Crane, Reed Smoot and company. He condemns the way in which President Wilson averted the railroad strike, but offers no program by which he would have averted it. He denounces President Wilson for not recognizing Huerta, but dares not admit that he, Judge Hughes, would have recognized that murderous bandit. He complains of President Wilson’s note writing in foreign complications without venturing to say that he would have resorted to the bullets which are the only substitutes for notes. He repeats the imbecile chatter that President Wilson could have prevented the sinking of the Lusitania, but does not say how, neither does he say what he would have done after the Lusitania was sunk.

He accepts in equal silence the support of Roosevelt, he wanted war with Germany over the invasion of Belgium, and of the hyphenated societies which openly boast that they mean to defeat President Wilson as a punishment for his refusal to bow to the kaiser’s will. There is nothing sound, nothing worthy, nothing that looks forward or faces the music about the whole Hughes campaign. Evasion and complaint, complaint and evasion chase each other monotonously across the pages on which his speeches are reported. He talks while Wilson works—and does not even talk to the point. The American people never yet have offered the Presidency as a prize for shiftiness and scolding. They are not likely to do so in the crisis of a -world war.—Laporte Argos-Bulletin.

NEW ERA OF BUSINESS

The panacea of Mr. Hughes for the future ills of the country’s business, of which there are no signs yet appearing, is in a high protective tariff. The President’s view is that the country’s business shall be organized to meet the balance of the world in the markets of the world and leave the matter of the tariff to the commission he will soon appoint to determine what the tariff ought to be. Speaking of the tariff, the President says: “We have admitted that on the one side and on the other we were talking theories and managing policies without sufficient knowledge of the facts upon which we were acting.” To correct this the tariff commission was provided and he expresses hope that he “can find the men who will see the facts and state them no matter whose opinion those facts contradict.” That will shock tariff standpatters and we even doubt that Mr. Hughes will know what to make of it. It does not take into account what the Cranes and Penroses and Smoots most certainly will have to say about the tariff if they should have the making of another outfit of schedules for the country. But we believe what the President says expresses the view of business in the country today. The President, in his speech of acceptance, said that the closing of the old world war might raise for this country problems that would require seme radical revisions of policy and the event may do that,

but there will be no saturnalia of schedules for selected privilege. The tariff is out of politics, and as the President repeated to the grain dealers, “the tariff commission is going to look for the facts, no matter who is hurt.’’ That sounds a little better than the dictum of Mr. Hughes that, regardless of conditions, indifferent to needs, and for the sake of the thing itself, the tariff has got to go up. Business free, business stimulated, business efficient, business militant, and business abroad in the world of conquering markets and doing good make up Hie President’s program for American business. American business skulking behind tariff ramparts and depending on government favor and special privilege to loot at home and play the cut-throat abroad form no part of that prospect. It is a new era and it will be the greatest era American business ever has had.—Carroll County Citizen-Times.

Short Furrows

"Abe Martin" in Indianapolis News.

Mrs. Pearl Tanger went downtown t’day after somethin’ t’ boil fer Sunday an’ came home undecided. “I jest tell you,” she said, “I couldn’ decide jest what t’ do. Eyer’thing wuz so different on market from what I’d pictured it that I decided not t’ go ahead without mature reflection. Ther wuz too much involved. We all like meat at our house, but ther’s so many other things we’d like t’ have. We did think some o’ buyin’ a car an' tryin’ beans fer awhile, but, my goodness, beans are as high as meat. O’ course ther’s no bones in beans — well, ther’ no bones in liver either. I tell you when a body begins t’ hedge on eatin’ material ther jest haint no place t’ begin. I’ve been workin’ on five or six combinations fer a Sunday dinner an’ ther haint no possible way t’ beat th’ game. If we had a car we might visit friends, but as it is we’ve got t’ stay at home no matter how much it costs us.” “We all eat too much,’’ said Dr. Mopps, “an’ I hope that th’ price o’ foodstuffs ’ll soar till this nation is put on a sound, healthy footin’. That’s th’ kind o’ preparedness I’m fer. Ther’s too many corn fed people in this country. We’rt growin’ flabby an’ inactive. Hunger stimulates us t’ hustle, while a full stomach seeks rest from responsibility. Sunday is a day o’ rest, yet how many stomachs work overtime on th’ Sabbath? What if some grave crisis should suddenly come upon us some Sunday afternoon an’ find th’ nation torpid an’ drowsy thro’ gourmandizin’?’’ “It keeps me busy countin’ noses at our house,” said Mrs. Tilford Moots, “as one baked p’tater too many soon runs int’ money.” “Oh, things are not so bad,” said Tell Binkley, “you kin still git a pretty fair three-carrot dinner fer a quarter at th’ Little Gem.”

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

Some soothing balm the soul requires, when one must fuss with rub ber tires. lam a highly moral man; I guard my tongue the best I can; and if, perchance, I cuss a streak, remorse lambasts me for a week. A model I would gladly be, to growing youth and infancy, and ere I got a motor car, my fame for virtue traveled far. But often now I may be seen, all bathed in sweat and gasoline, and spotted o’er with rancid grease, dispensing words that break the peace. I jack my car up with my lyre, and try to patch a busted tire, and while I labor in the ditch, I’m laughed at by the idle rich, who whiz along in pomp and state, and peer the more unlucky skate. And as I toil with wrench and crank, I keep on saying, “Blinky blank,’’ and children toddling on their way give ear to smoky things I say, and as they leave, on learning bent, they whisper, “What a sinful gent!” A subscriber asks: “What globetrotter has made the quickest trip around the world?” John Henry Mears of the New York Evening Sun at present holds the record. Traveling east from New York city in 1913, he crossed the Russian empire by the Siberian railway and reached New York again in thirtyfive days, twenty-one hours and thirty-five minutes. In 1911 Andre Jaeger-Schmidt made the trip in 39 days; George Francis Train in 1890 made it in sixty-seven days; Nellie Bly, 1889, in 72 days; Captain Seymour, 1876, in 117 days; the Magellan expedition, 1519-22, in three years.—Outlook. \
