Vtrt today on a Government mission, said
Mat. while the position of the Allien In the

M many respect, censorship In Kngland

In said, that the work of censoring the
uttll haa been left for the most part In
the hands of women and girls, many of
whom entered the work with no more nptl
tot for It than what they may have
lined as typists or from the ribbon ooun-
i tr. Few of them, so far as I could learn,
: even had the advantaco of having previous

"I visited one office In London where
virtually the entire staff Is made up of girls.
They were of the type known as "chickens"
In New Tork. They seem to bo having the
time of their lives opening; and rending
eihir people's letters. I noticed that the
one that Interested them tho most were
those which contained sentimental passages
or scandal of some sort.
"That these youngsters could have
recognised anything of national value, even
If It had had been set forth In the simplest
terms, seemed quite Incongruous to me.
"1 believe that ninety per cent of the let

on to their destination unopened for all the

' Police Court Chronicle
Tn order to be haniiy pat Conn has to
' tire alone. There are times. In tact, that
he cannot get along even with himself.
Pat Is so lazy that he 11 only talk when
It's absolutely necessary. I to contends that
the world Is clogged with useless conversa
tion. Conn usually sleeps when he's not
eating or drinking, and purposely loses all
record of the passing time. As a rule, fie
uv.au i i.uuvr iuu uuiorcnco oeiween dionaay
and Saturday, Having nothing to do and
nowhere to go, he figures that keeping tabs
on the day- of the week Is only useless
tntrgy.
Conn managed to bring down a bird which
was aeroplanlng along Stonehouse lane. Ho
stuck ft on the end of a Btlck and toasted
It to deep brown. The fowl was Just, re
ceiving the finishing touches when a cop
happened In on the feast. Ho noticed that
Pat was In a rather undecided condition,
and after he had finished the bird, the blue
coat took him before Magistrate Imber.
"It seems that you get here often," com
hunted tho Judge.
"That's right," said Tat : "but I'm a vic
tim of circumstance beyond me control."
The Magistrate was interested, .
"You see,' continued Conn, "me brother
John used to git drunk every night and
made so much noise that I couldn't sleep.
And then I had to go out and git drunk, too,
so I could sleep. That'a what started me."
'Tour brother Is In the House of Cor
rection," said the Judge, "and that'a wherd
you're going, too ' ,
"But promise pie one thing. Judge"
pleaded Pat, "don't put us In the one cell."
The Judge promised.

Winner of First Prize, $500
Woodrow Wilson ahould be re-elected be
causo the people whom he has served owe
him re-election. Moreover, they owe It to
themselves to see that he Is re-elected
Something finer than gratitude, something
bigger even than patriotism, demands that
they continue the chief among them as their
servant.
Four years ago Mr. Wilson, personally
and through the platform of the Democratic
party, made certain promises. He waa
elected to transmute promlso Into fulfill
ment. There Is a simple method by which
any voter not blinded by partisanship may
ascertain whether tho roandnto given ban
been executed and whether the accomplish
ment has been worth while. Study of the
speeches of those opposed to Mr. Wilson Is
all that Is neceecary. Uls'opponents are
careful to avoid even hint of desire to undo
any of tho progressive legislation which
has been enacted In the lift four years.
They do not attack the extension of tho
parcel pott : they make no mention of their
Intention to reot:e the rural credit act; they
express no wish again to enslave the chil
dren of the factories whose emancipation
was secured so largely through the persist
ent activity of the President; rather than
discuss the logic of the tariff board, which
shall assist scientifically In the rolutlon of
an Intricate problam, they prefer to predict
bread lines and soup kitchens to a poople
preternaturally prosperous.
Unable to I'lspute the rerord or a home
policy definitely stated and resolutely fol
lowed, they focus their fury on the manner
In which the foreign affairs of the country
have been administered. Discussion, so
called, of the relations of the United States
with Oermany and with Moxico resolves
Itself Into vituperative attacks on the Pres
ident; abuse Is substituted for argument.
Here sgaln, however, n careful reading of
the addresses dollvered by Mr. Wilson's
opponents Is enlightening. According to
Colonel Roosevelt, the head of the nation la
n "mollycoddle," who "pussyfoots" In ad
dressing foreign Powers. According to
Colonel Harvey, of the North American Re
view, "It Is not tho President who has kept
us out of war with Germany. It Is the
Kaiser. Sir, Wilson's nofea have been truc
ulent enough to make for war over and
over again, but Germany has averted con
flict nt each psychological moment out of
consideration for her own welfare, not as a
consequence of any of the many things the
President has written." The utmost latitude
la permitted If only the voter will cast
ballot against Woodrow Wilson. Ho may
do so because the President "pussyfoots"
In his notes to Germany : he la Invited, on
the other hand, to punish Mr. Wilson be
cause he Is too truculent and merely obtains
results.
For those who In ksome measure under
stand and appreclato tho tenacity with
which Woodrow Wilson clings to those prin
ciples on which this Rapubllo was founded,
there Is satisfaction In the knowledge that
during the present campaign considerable
attention Is ..! be given to the Mexican sit
uation. Tho President's conception of our
duty toward a neighbor torn by revolution
and struggllnc from the blindness of serf
dom to the light of liberty has been plainly
stated. He believes that Mexico has the
right to wom out Its own salvation. He
does not forge', as do many of his fellow
countrymen, that these UnlUd States were
born In the ageny of revolution. He has
llttlo sympathy for the wavers of the bloody
shirt who shout that the only good Mexican
Is a dead Mexican, th while the band plays
of "Yankee Doodle," the tatterdemalion who
stuck a feather In his hat and called It
macaroni.
In the Illumination of this attitude to
ward Mexico thf full meaning of much of
the wor& accomplished at home Is retealed.
Such an Ideal of real Americanism un
ashamed made Imperative tile fulfillment of
promise to those long Ignored; lo the op
presred consumer, to the derided farmer, to
the helpless child.
It may be, as th Secretary of Commerce
declared In a recent speech, that In a few
short years the United States, with Ita ma
terial resources. Its Intelligence and organi
zation, shall become the first among the
world's great trading- nations. 'Tls a
consummation devoutly to be wished, If, a
Mr, Redfteld was careful to remind hi hear
ers, we remember that commerce Is mutual
exchange to mutual benefit and not a species
of Industrial war, Dut what shall It profit
America If. with material resources, Intel
ligence and organization, th nation lose Its
soul newly reborn; If greed, special privi
lege, materialism gross and boastful, re
turn to replace unselfish service for all
classes?
Woodrow Wilson alone I not responsible
for the spiritual awakening of the Re
public. Political circles are not alone In
feeling the strivings after that righteous
ness which exalt nations. Th churches
have heard the cajl to social Hervlcu, manu
facturers have been stirred to activities

To say that Charles i:ans lHighei
should be elected President of the United
States because hla record aa a public ser
vant of extraordinary efllclency, fidelity and
courage has demonstrated his presidential
tatura Is an excellent reason so far as It
goes, but It lit not deflnllhe. Pages can be
written concerning his eminently useful ca
rter as the leople's lawyer, progressive
Goernor. wise and constructive Jurist. Hut
the point It Is necessary to hammer home Is
that Mr. Hughes would be a. better Presi
dent than Mr, Wilson 3rond-mlnded Re
publicans welcome not merely the oppor
tunity but tho loglMl reeeilty for a clear
cut comparison of the chief candidates'
achievements, their personalities, the poli
cies to which they stand committed and
tho manner In which they may be expected
to put them Into effect
Why do wi r.eed tv ch.nga of Presidents
at this time? Because Woodrow Wilson's
four years of ivl.rulo have brought about n
combination of undesirable and even dan
gerous conditions which nothlnfc but a
change of admli.lstratlons will rectify. Hera
are a few leading counts In tho Indictment:
Our nation has been humiliated and
weakened In the eyes of the world by Pres
ident Wllson'u falluro to protect the lives
and property ct Its cltlieis. Mr. Hughes
declares: "I stand for the unflinching
maintenance of all the rights of American
citizens un lard and or."
, Although boastlr.K that It has kept the
country out of war, the Administration has
buidened It with oppressive and Irritating
taxes entirely unwarranted In time of peaco.
Increasing expenditures to an unprecedenud
extent, It has rejected the logical and least
oppressive method of ralslnir the revenue
necessitated by Its own extravagance, name
ly, a protective tariff which would serve as
a bulwark against th inevitable assault
upon our Industries and tabor to follow the
close of the European war. Mr. Hughes de
mands "a simple, buslnessllho budget to
avoid flnancal waste. I believe in u pro
tective tariff. Our severest tests will come
utter the war; We must make a fair and
wl3 readjustment of the tariff, based on the
sound protective principle, to Insure our
economic independence."
The Administration's vacillating, self
contradictory course toward Mexico has In
curred the hatred of Its peoplo and the
contempt of our own. Vera Crus. Columbus,
Cardial, are names at which patriotic
Americans blush with shame. Mr. Hughes
proposes "a new policy with regard to
Mexico, of Aminos and consistency."
The Administration has flouted the prin
ciple of civil service to make places for
"deserving Democrats" Efficient, experi
enced diplomats have been ousted In favor
of political appointees. Mr, Hughes says:
"I stand for our civil service laws. No
body has u right to pay political debts with
the good name and honor of the United
States."
The threat of 400.000 railroad employes
to tie-up the nation's transportation system
caused President Wilson to surrender the
principle of arbitration for Industrial dis
putes and dictate rapid-fire legislation by
Congress fixing- wages for a special class
of workers. He defends his course by
calling It elght-hour day legislation. Mr.
Hughes says: "t stand for the prlnolpl of
fair, thorough arbitration and for leglsla-
