SUFFRAGE AND CHILD LABOR LAWS. Evidently the republicans ;;re regarding Mr. C. Hughes' enlorsement of a federal woman suffrage amendment, as somethinu that calls for an explanation, or defense, which in view of the course of the indorseme t is true, hut hardly from the standpoint that such explanation or defense is beins made. That Pres't Wilson ha.s one farther in his determination to have congress pass a child labor law, than the democratic national convention went in the democratic platform, bf-ars no resemblance whatever, to the Huuhes fiasco. The a.su difference lies in the fact that Pres't Wilson is dointf something instead of merely talking it. A federal child labor law, anyway, such .s contemplated by eonirress, merely serves to protect the states that also have such laws. It prohibits manufacturers in states that do not Rive protection to children, within the provifdons of the act, from selling their Roods in states that do afford such protection, which is protection to the manufacurer as well as to the child. To encouraKe the' states to pass child labor laws without affording tho industries of those states protection against the "sweatshops." of cdher states, would be rank injustice. Pres't Wilson by his proposed child labor law in paving the way for the easy and just fulfillment of the democratic platform by the states. He is meeting hi phase of the situation, as head of the nation. The child labor law before congress does not say what kind of child labor law Indiana, 'or any other state, must have. What it does say is that if Indiana, or any other state, passes a law affording the children of the state the protection prescribed by the federal law, the industries in Indiana subjected thereto, will not have to compete with the industries of other states of whom such compliance is not required. In other words, should Indiana not pass a suitable law. and some other states, or all of them do, the Iniiana industries employing child labor will have only Indiana for a market, this alontr with such other states as with her are in the noncompliance class. In the matter of suffrage, the difference between national and state suffrage, is merely one of units. hall the national or state unit prevail? It is the same as with prohibition, only with regard to suffrage the state unit is the smallest possible, while with local option, as

j in Indiana for instance, the unit has been limited to

such small areas as the township. There isn't a question but that the smaller the unit is, the larger the democracy, and the same principle applies to the suffrage issue, the state being the smallest unit possible. For that unit, both the republican and democratic platforms declared. Mr. Hughes in his speech of acceptance indorsed the republican plank explicitly, but the next day, under pressure, pretended to repudiate it. He either did, or he didn't. It is on the assumption that he did, that the republicans are seeking to explain and defend him, pointing to what Pres't Wilson is doing with the child labor issue, by the way of comparison.

Pres't Wilson is not repudiating the t. I-ouis platform.

Now that Mr. C. Hughes, republican nominee for the j nowrArr Ie is giving it a stronger leg to stand on. white hous-e. has started his "whirlwind" campaign, as ,naiyzf Mr. Hughes indorsement of a national suffrage the republican press likes to term it, naturally one ftels , ;IInrndrnei.i. and you w ill find it merely a personal view.

In Iiis "w hu lw md" campaign, he seems merely to be riliaUiig the aueri - i.f his speech of acceptance, with the . inphi.-is 01; the "wind." In Detroit and m Chi' ago. it li.is been all a question of what the president didn't do, or that he didn't do as Mr. Hughes would have done it. but we are still without light on how Mr. Hughes would have done. lie creates a hypothesis and hll it with his ego. and everybody is supposed to accept that as su'wCient. And in this, perhaps. .Mr. ilughcs is wise. Say what you will about his colossal egotism, one thing you must credit him with, n.niil. that he has innnitely mor sense than some of h: tilt-a-eiithusia.stic support rs. llavii.g no i.-i;es no 1 roord in national affairs, without expera 1;, e m international cm rucneies, and with scarce a peg to i op aside from his egotism, he "kr.ows better than to a-tempt any bills of particulars, ai d this is a sen.-e highly important in such a case, and under such condition. Tlu-, effort from the local page of the republa an prts is a sample. Head it: What would Mr. Hughes have done had he been president ' The ar.sw -r is plain.

rights of the states to settle the problem for themselves." Mr. Hughes has "personally' indorsed the federal suffrage idea, but he can no mere amend the constitution than Mayor Kellar can. Submitting amendments to the constitution is a job that belongs to congress, not the resident, so Mr. Hughes may be almost taken to have promised approval of such an amendment if congress presents one, and that is all. Will a repuhlican congress pass the amendment; that is the question, in the light of the Chicago platform? Will Mr. Hughes, even if elected, ever get a chance to approve of one? Mr. Hughes wants the votes of the women in the 12 suffrage states. Tuat is another difference between Mr. Hughes and Mr. Wilson in their attitudes toward female suffrage and child labor. Mr. Wilson is making his rij'ht for a lot of children who can't vote and will not be able to vote for a number of years.

CATCHING THE READER'S EYE. Experiments in the psychology of advertising, conducted at the university of California, have developed some facts which ought to be useful to advertisers. The tests were made with posters, but the principles discovered apply to other kinds of advertising as well.

ne of the most discussed subjects amonz newspapers of the county is the letter sent to Candidate Hughes by 27 of the most prominent editors and writers of America. They ask that he be more specific in H- criticism of the administration of v.'oodrow Wilson. The communication is as follows: "To the Hon. Charles K. Hughes: The professional writers who sign this letter have small interest in politics, but have a real interest In democracy. It is our hope, through this voluntary association, o assist in the promotion of honest, educational discussion in order that fundamental issues may not be decided in prejudice and ignorance. "Wilson's beliefs have been expressed In law and in declared policies. He has made an open record by which he may be Judged. Wise choice is not possible unless you yourself make equally specific statement of purposes and convictions. "Without Intent to offend we feel justified in charging that in no single public utterance have you filed a bona fide bill of particulars, nor have you offered a single constructive suggestion. Only (icncralitics. " leneralities are without value. Planket criticism is worthless. What we desire to know, what it is fair that tht electorate should know, are the ex . details of your disagreement with Pres't Wilson. What has he done, that you would not have done, ami what has he failed to do that you would have done or propose to do? Honesty and patriotism demand that you put yourself on record in such manner as to permit people to judge you as they are now able to judge Pres't Wilson. For example: "First Would you have filed instant protest against the invasion of Pelgium and backed up that protest with the United States navy? "Second It is arrant nonsense to talk about action that would have prevented the Lusitan.a tragedy. The vague advertisement did net appear until shortly before the'hour of sailing. The occurrence was one of those things that civilization had made the world regard as incredible. The only honest question is this: Would you have made the elisaster the subject of diplomatic negotiations or would you have broken relations with Germany at once? "Third Would you have urged upon congress an embargo upon the shipment of munitions to the allies? "Fourth Would you urge universal compulsory military service? Wliat Aliout lluerta? "Fifth You are frank in stating that Huerta's morals were of no concern to America. Does this mean that you would have recognized lluerta? "Sixth As matters stand today, would you be in favor of intervening in Mexico? "Seventh Does your attack upon the Wilson shipping bill mean that you are in favor of ship subsides? "Eighth You speak enthusiastically of the rights of the worker. Does this imply that you indorse the Clayton anti-trust law and the seaman's bill? Or will you urge their repeal ? "Ninth What are your specific complaints against the federal reserve law? "Tenth As governor of New York you opposed the income tax amendment. Does this antagonism persist? Do you or do you not believe in paying for preparedness out of tax on incomes, inheritances and munitions ? "We agree with you that it is a "critical period", by far too cr'tical indeed for candidates to talk in terms of office seeking rather than in the simple, earnest language of definite Americanism."

a m:v rsi; iymi sait. (New York World). The prerervative, the cleansing and the soothing effects of salt have been known for ages. To this extent, and with some recognition of existing practices, the use cf saline solutions in British military hospitals, noted in a recent cable dispatch, is not new. The interesting points are in tht evolution of salt to the position of a sole healing agent, and in the method of application by a constant stream which, :n a single t'anvin-. washes the wound, guards it from infection and contributes hcalins power. An ancient and common household article thus supplants, after the initial disinfecting, the highly scientific, antiseptic appliances of the day. This elaboration of an old remedy recalls to mini the medical stir which followed in 1301 the publication from the University of Chicago, by Dr. Jacques I-eb and Prof. D. J.

One of life's little worries to Charles Evans Hughes is those 10 questions put to him by 3? of. the publicists and literary men ,of the country. KKHP STANDING. Here is a little paragraph that is likely to find itself in the newspapers many times between now and November. It is. Mr. made a brief speech in which he said that he looky for an overwhelming victory. The editorial grammarians were holding a session. The question was brought up, do you fall off or fall from. Finally one suggested "oftn" as a suitable substitute. Another debate was that you didn't fall off or from, but out of a tree. Rut the old question came back. Do you fall off or from the limb as you fall out of the tree. The next lesson of the class is likely to be anything now that Will Orpet is up in the Wisconsin woods. You can generally tell the class

heart. All doctors had known of saline injections to stimulate the heart. Those who hesitated over the new proposition admitted the physiological importance of salt and its ability, after a hemorrhage, to supply the deficiency in circulation until new blood is made. Inland people of old esteemed saline springs as gifts of the gods. Chips of salt were anciently used as money, and the mineral stood, as many passages in the Rible testify, for high religious symbolisms. The sharing of salt represented in other days a sacred pledge of friendship. A precious and essential quantity in our daily living, though hut casually regarded on the grocer's bill for supplies, salt may yet be revealed in a more intimate relation to life itself than daring scientists have guessed.

CRITICS DISAGRRK. (FTvansville Courier.) One thing stands out very clearly in the criticisms of the Wilson administration and that is that it has blundered terribly in Mexico. While all critics express their opinion alter the factnd hindsight is always better than foresight no two ot them will agree as to what the blunders were. For example, the Pershing expedition was generally approved at the time. Now the critic feels quite free to overlook his earlier opinion and to assert with confidence that the sending of American troops onto Mexican soil was a terrible blumler.

Rumors that the expedition was to be withdrawn met with threats of what would happen to Wilson if he

did recall mein. cuv vt- iu"'plaisantly told that the continuance of the troops thereis a terrible blunder. The refusal to recognize Huerta is condemned. Rut there isn't the slightest reason for believing that if he had been recotrnized that he would have restored order in Mexico. The demand that Huerta salute the flag wus made not by Wilson, out by a Yankee admiral of Irish extraction. Once the demand was made, does anyone blame the administration for backing up Admiral Ma;o? Not one of the critics can print out a course of procedure that would v,ave worked better than the one

followed by Wilson. And they have

the advantage of looking back over the situation and not of meeting the circumstances as they arose.

The results of their labors will continue a boon to humanity, yet coining generations will ti ke for granted the blessing of an infantile paralysis cure and will think little e-f the men whose labors gave the secret to the world. So it has been in the past. Already we have grown accustomed to the blessings of a diphtheria antitoxin which has saved many thousands of lives and have forgotten the labors which led to its discovery. Other cases are similar. Today there are scientists laboring daily in sincere efforts to lind a cure for tulerculosis as others are seeking a method of lighting infantile paralysis.

SPITTING SI'Ki:.I)S IMSKASi:. (Columbus, e . Dispatch). There is a city ordinance against spitting on the sidewalks, and there have been efforts o enforce it. A few arrests and th public opinion variously created have resulted in much good. Last week, a well-informed citizen would have said that there was not much spit'ing on the walks, but the boy scouts have proved that there is a vast amount of it yet. Fifty of th-Mn counted and found that there we'e lS.'l expectorations on a single square in one 'vur. The bad habit has not been thoroughly broken. There is need of more law enforcement and more public opinion. Spitting in public places is at once a filthy and dangerous habit, and for the most part is wholly unnecessary. It ought to h-- abandoned. It will be when there is full realization of the evil of it. The poy scouts have rendered a Useful til l;c service; tin
