OCTOBER 13, 1916.

THE "HOOSIER PATRIOT" AND THE J LADIES. Evidently, somehow, somewhere between the republican nutinn-il headquarters in New York and the county republican headquarters in South Uend. the wires have Xf?n crossed. From eastern headquarter comes the word, byNational Chairman Wilcox, that the -billion dollar" special, with its Lcjeweled cargo of femininity and their spokeswomen that crept into .South I'.end lust week for jreakfast. is not a republican appendix at all. He disowns the movement. The national committee disclaims the responsibility. Nf.t however, from republican headquarters here n .outh Bend. The second appearance of the new ind quite exclusie republican organ is now before u. nd there is no disowning the "Hushes special" in that, but quite the contrary, "by Claude V. Nicely." Nicely, to whom it now appears that W. Albert Slick, rounty chairman. mu?t be "yielding the reins," bestows a bl.-vtfin upon the ladies, of which, Oh, Malinda! how proud they should be! We would just like to know how many of the party, traveling or receiving it here, would, knowing Nicely, permit him to kiss the soles of their shoes? We could better understand, then, perhaps, something of the whys ind wherefores of National Chairman Wilcox's wantng to (ILm)vvii them. ' It might alo throw more light on why Nicely is so strenuou.-ly for them. but we hae too much respect f..r Mio women, and are too positively1 certain of their t espv-- talihty. to admit of the least possibility that they would recognize him outside of politics, even at a rock-tight. If they did. they would probably recognize him as bung drunk, his quite normal condition, particularly when a campaign is on, and that in the nature of woman, would almost certainly settle it. We are dwelling npn Nicely in particular, because, indeed, he appears to be about all that there is to the "Hoosuer Patriot' now that Poor Sutherland, ex-editor (whoever that was), has been shorn of hi job. and "Gumshoe" MacPonald seeks to disclaim all relationship, su'c as a sort of "make-up man." And everybody except Nicely, furthermore, seems to be ashamed of the production. Archie Graham, local fixer of Hughes postmasterships, and Gil. Elliott, already slated for the postmustcrship job; Shep. Crumpacker. candidate for state senator, and Nelson Jones, the "business man for a business olfice." along with numerous others of the "o'J guard," seem to be wondering what it is all about. Maybe Nicely has been chosen as the man "to yield the reins" to because it was realized that someone was needed who has no sense of shame, to whom truth is a agabond. and whom the experience, and the consequences, because of his egotism, and otherwise benumbed sensibilities, could not hurt. Defense of womanhood. or motherhood, from a ource with which ."wine and women" are gods and goddesses, contaminates the try air through which it niters. We will present a fev excerpts for the women cf South Hend to conjure with; quotations from an inspiration perhaps, if not probably, absorbed through a Class of something at the Oliver hotel bar, and then following a rush to republican headquarters, being transcribed into manuscript for the "Hoosier Patriot," ax it were: To Iii tli orw of the..o women exempliiVa the hitrhtar im .if ui.ri intn.i,l !in.l m ot !: f r h mil .

A woman of such lowlir.ts.s. of r many ons. of family too poor to hire a substitute for their s-ons. or otherwise influence their freviom from military seriee, would be about a.s weleomo in that part ; well, as Mr. Nicely would be. thP ladies knowing hint, in th-ir "smart set" in South Ivvnd or N w Vi rk. either one. Hut he speaks also for the onn n" Msters in Mexico appealing we suppose for the aid . f ihe "athol.o clergy, by seeking to wordpicture that nefarious hcenario which the republican nation! corv.i iittee had put on the screen at an expense of j:;".0"t', ami then dared not to exhibit. We quote ag a::i : ""It r...;:.;r: i ta.iti i.'r.-rii.t impudence to t..k t. wi.r..;: i ' l'-o in! il-nir. . women. vir

Go to it. Jingo! Taking it at its face value, what ;

more evidence do you want that the election of Mr. Hughes in November, means intervention in Mexico, and war, and bloodshed perhans. for thousands of American boys, but no. Malinda! it wouldn't be for the ravished women sisters of American womanhood, that they would shed it? That is only a false pretonse. an appeal to the impulses, a ruse employed for getting under the American hide which declines to take on goose flesh in defense of Wall st. millions. That is the kind of "protection of wealth and property." for which American manhood and womanhood objects to lighting "wealth and propcrtj" in a foreign land obtained by loot. The republican party, yea, the women on the "HuKhfs special" train, care no more for the ravished women of Mexico than Claude Nicely does. Their interest in Mexico is as purely monetary as the greed for gold can m;ikc it. An American who goes into Mexico and by bribery', cajolery, or stealth, robs a people of their lands, mineral deposits, oils, yea, even their right to live, has no claim upon the blood of America to conserve his ill-gotten possessions. Call it anarchy if you like, but then, a piflicated brain is liable to call most anything, most anything, as witness this, tired at us: "When the Savior suffered upon Calvary it would have been advocating the policies of Pilot and would have been the local organ for Herod! Had it heen isiied in the time of the Kcvopitlnn it would have l.een glorifying P.enedbt Arnold. Had it cursed the community with Its pre- In the days of the Civil War it won!,! have been for Slavery. Secession ami

lVa-H Now it Is for Wilson und Peaee Pe;o e Peace ! We do not want war; but we do want people to knowthat there is a worse thing than war and that that is peaee without the Vestaire of Honor, and that is Just the thing ue Lave been having with the Wilson brand of Peaee." Now. what do you think of that? Who was "Pilo," and what is "vestage?" If he means Pilate, we guess he is at least half right. Pilate "washed his hands of the whole affair." as the Hook tell us. and we are for Pilate every time in preference, to the scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites, who under a false pretense nailed the Savior to the cross. As to Herod, the modern reincarnation of that gentleman is one T. Roosevelt, with one C. Hughes as a right wing. The UooseveltianHughes "Anything to beat Wilson." is a perfect 1916 reproduction of the Herodian "Down with the Impostor." We doubt if anyone other than a drunk man would accuse us of being the local ort-'an of Itoosevelt or Hughes. Hut behold, the bloody shirt! In revolutionary times we would have been for Henedict Arnold, would we? Well, in preference to Kphraim Kellier whom Washington ordered shot for looting the dead at Hrandywine, yes. There ws some excuse? for Arnold an aristocratic wife, who loved money better than humanity, for instance; but for the greedy ghoul who ravishes bat

tlefields, or lowly homes for boys with which to strew

battlefields, this to effect a personal gain, there is no

excuse whatever.

And, ditto, with respect to slavery, secession and peace, in 1860-63. It was as the purity of the saints in

comparison with the demagogic "conperheadism" of

1916. as it is indulged in by the republican successors of the "carpet-bag" defenders of the days following

that war. Republicans should never mention the Civil

war in the same breath with the plan of campaign

which they are conducting today against Pres't Wilson.

It is the "copperheadism" of 1 S 6 0 -6 5 . as directed at

Abraham Lincoln, as exactly reproduced as historycould possibly repeat itself and today with no principle involved, whatever except that of greed, gall and goose-grease. A clique, back of the republican

party, and a clique even more largely and directly represented by the "Hughes special." want to "carpet-bag" Mexico, and profiting by the success of their republican ancestors in the southland following the rebellion, they would sacrifice every son of a mother in the land not their own. to gain their nefarious end

Finally as to that "vestage" of honor. We suppose that is some kind of a "standpaf vest dingy with "age." Most everything "standpat" is aged. even its conception of honor, seemingly goinff back to the barbarians, and regarding it as conservable only after the fashion of its conservation by the pugilist, the duelist, and the slaughter-hogs. Hut then, we are not surprised that Nicely wants to tight; wants everybody to fight though we notice that he didn't enlist, or try to, when his country some months ago called him. Oh no, he stayed at home. Kot hi3 snoot full, and then because Joe Werwinski wouldn't loan him his keys, and the use of his otliee. for something or other, he did his fighting down in the lobby of the Farmers' Trust building. Which is enough. It is a waste of lather to shave an ass. why presume to debate campaign issues with a cypher even though it do hold the reins, yielded to it by the republican county chairman as the representative of that mighty machine. Have another drink, Claudine!

Wall Street Marks WoodroW Wilson For the Slaughter

THE MELTING POT

Conducted by Stuart H. Carroll

The California state federation of labor has seated H. Suzuki, a Japanese, as a fraternal delegate to its annual convention. Had this happened two years ago, all California Aould have been in instant revolt, tt at this time the incident atts-acs little attention.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12 Replying to a request from representatives of labor press for a statement of his iews on the issue of the campaign. Amos Pinchot. formerly one of the closest friends and enthusiastic supporters of Col. Roosevelt, today issued the following statement: "Wall st. and Fifth av. have marked Woodrow Wilson for slaughter. Whether he gets slaughtered or not is fortunately a question for the public to decide. "In New York, my state, the republican organization is owned, as it trenerally has ken, by highly respectable representatives of Wall st. and Fifth av. They hold the check hooks, and the machine does the

rest. Today, there is no such thing in this state as a republican party, in the sense of a group of people organized to -carry' out definite principles that is, unless protecting opportunities to make money at the public's expense and politically killing off anybody who gets in the way is a set of definite principles. "In thi.-J state alone, the bell-hops of privilege, to whom Col. Roosevelt now adds himself as a patriotic recruit. (I ask his pardon for the hyphenated word bell-hop), will probably spend about Jü, 000. 000 to beat Wilson. If they succeed, they will call it cheap at the price, r.asy for Wall St. "1 am not a democrat, nor a personal friend of the president: but I am going to work and vote for him. because, as I look at it, he has been the attorney for the average American citizen in the struggle that everlastingly goes on between him and the privileged class, between the person who earns a dollar and the one who gets it. "Wall st. is not only stoning Wilson with money, it is shrewdly using an appeal to patriotism to get votes for its own candidate. It charges that the president acted unpatriotically in preventing the' United States from establishing American rule in Mexico. From Wall st's point of view, this is probably a perfectly sound argument for Wall st. has about $3. 000, 000 more money invested in Mexico than the Mexicans have. From this it follows that we should intervene or 'grab Mexico. There is no use arguing this proposition with Wall st. American investments would be safer if the president would send the army down there to look after them. "The president, however, does not see it in that light. He takes the ground that the chances are that the Mexicans will work out their own salvation better than Wall st. will do it for them. He has given that struggling neighbor of ours a chance to escape the absentee landlanlism of foreign wealth that has brought its people to revolution and starvation. As a western congressman wrote me, all the Mexicans need from he United States is a little time and a little humanity. If Americans are to shoot Mexicans at all it ought to be in the stomach with corn and beans.

Clio? Diplomacy. "As to Germany, there were just two ways for the United States to settle the submarine question. One was war, the other was diplomatic negotiations. Wilson hose the latter. P.v those despised 'notes', he

avoided war. won a great diplomatic victory and gae the United States a right to hold up her head and say that she was still a civilized nation. "Yes, but in all this, says Wall st., he has been un-American. It was un-American of him to bait the trusts, especially the steel corporation; un-American to stand for the Clayton bill, un-American to protect the rights of labor, and particularly un-American to put the people's greatest lawyer on the supreme court bench. "There is something perfectly delightful about Wall st. suddenly appearing as the protector of Americanism. It ought to be set to a tune and sung in music halls. Having a good deal of confidence in the sense of humor of the public, I don't think it is necessary to point out the high lights of the situation. 1 expect that on election day a majority of the fanners. wage-earners, small business men, and othr ordinary citizens, whom Wall st. suddenly dicovers as considerable in years divisible by four, will to the polls with a broad grin."

A YOUNG MAX'S KFADIXG. (New York Sun.) A boy who has finished at high school ami who must now earn a living writes to ask for suggestions a.s to books that will give him the broader education he covets but must acquire by himself. He will rind without much seeking, any number of lists of "the best books" and may gain a good deal from them. But perhaps the soundest advice to offer him is this: For every' novel read add a volume of history or biography. More is gained from the study of living people than from books; much is gained from the perusal of a good newspaper than from the pages of many histories: no reading and no amount of observation avails unless rejected upon, and by the- kindling of the imaginative faculty aire rules the dominions that youth sets forth to conquer.
