GOVERNMENT BY FAVOR
rpiIERH Is as much reason for a police
man to refrain from arresting a cltl
ton loyal to the Organlratlon as there Is
for him to pay out his good money to
that Organization's leaders. Tho Organl
ratlon Is a hlcraflglV of favoritism. Tho
police power it has wielded has nlways
been lentontlyvcnforcoJ upon Its members.
Gamblers, vice mongers and luillot-box
sturfers have enjoyed Immunity precisely
In proportion to their closeness to poli
ticians. Tho city omclal's auto can go
faster than the Independent citizen's.
This favoritism has extended to tho
awarding of contracts and Jobs, big and
little. The policemen, maced for his cam
paign contribution, Is netted to perpetuate
this system. Ho Is asked to pay for his
Job, as If It were a political favor. Ho Is
thus no longer free to enforce the law
Impartially. Uo Is tho servant of tho
supporters of tho Organization, and, It ho
discriminates In their favor when It
comes to making arrests It Is only tho
logical result of .maclng. Undoubtedly
a general rovolt In tho forco against this
taxation would have overwhelming popu
lar support, and prevent any "punish
ment" of the mon by tho officials of the
Department of Public Safety.

A Pittsburgh saloonster wants to
glvo his saloon away, and a casual visitor
there suggests it might bo presented to
presidential aspirant Handy, merely for
wrecking purposes.
At Albany on Wednesday, his en
thusiasm getting tho better of his Judg

one of his fingers. With reasonable care
ho may mako tho other seven, with the
possible help from his two thumbs, last
him till November 7.
Mr. Hughes won't tell us what ha

would have preentcd the Lusltanla

ho has made to answer the question,
"What would you have done?" Now

and the weather thickened and the
enemy wanted to get away at quarter
past eight The foe, still heading south
west, was covered by his destroyers In
a great screen of gray smoke, and he
got away as darkness fell.
What the able proofreader did to

The labor vote never was a post to
tie to. This Adamson law does not fool
the railroad men whom I know. I have
talked to a score or more engineers und
conductors lately. The Republicans
among them will vote the ticket as
usual.
THIS statement from a long Interview
with a veteran New York Republican
leader who cannot be rattled Is about a
accurate an appraisal of the situation as
has beon made. The whole political his
tory of the country demonstrates that
thero is no class voto. Tliero aro Repub
lican and Democratlo farmers; thero are
Democratlo and Republican carpenters;
the engineers are not a solid political
group. They voto as American citizens
and not as engineers. Tho firemen are
citizens before they are firemen. And
so on through all the ranks of toll.
Such a bald bid for their voto as the
Adamson law will not mako Democrats
of tho Republicans among tho trainmen.
Their Republicanism Is too well grounded
for that. They wore persuaded before
they became Republicans that tho gen
pral prosperity of the country which fol
lows the application of Republican poli
cies will profit them moro In tho long run
than any such temporary incrcaso of
wagoa as is provided for In tho Adamson
law,
Tho country did not need tho assurance
of this New York loader to bo convinced
of the political Integrity of the trainmen.
If ' tho doubters ncedod other evldonce
than the general Intelligence, of tho men
whoso votes tho Administration tried to
buy it has already boon afforded by tho
organization of Hughes clubs among the
very mon to purchaso whose support the
Adamson law was passed. The labor
leaders themsolves know that they can
not throw the labor vote where they will.
Such exhibition of labor friendliness to
Wilson as has manifested Itself Is a
friendliness that would havo found ex
pression at the polU in about tho samo
degree oven If the President had not sur
rendered to the threat of the official of
the trainmen. Tho general attltudo of
labor to tho whole situation was well ex
pressed by a union man a day or two
after Congress acted, when he said, "We
think tho Unltod States is too big to be
dictated to by any labor organization."

WE NEED HUGHES
To the Rdltor of the Evening Ledger:
filr Charles Evans Hughes should be
etcctod President because tho United ijtates
needs htm to guldo tho ship of stnta Through
tho troubled waters. As Governor of New
York ho clearly showed by his administra
tion that ho had the Indomitable will, the
Inflexible purpose looking for future good
thirugh present evil.
He has the qualities and executive force
that beget confidence and command success.
He Is In no sense a negative character, but
a man of Iron will power. There Is no vacil
lating, lrresotuto policy In his make-up. Ho
Is Just what tho country needs now.
He has the true courage which Is the
reult of the reasoning of a deep thinker,
and he has a brave mind which Is always
In-pregnable. He would meet danger, not
wait for It Truth Is his standard by which
nil Jhlnim would bo ludired. His appeals
to the voters have been with sincerity of
purpose and honesty of feeling, divesting
himself of all partiality or passion and
prejudice. Ho should be elected and most
assuredly will be.

To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir "When the teeth of the law take
hold of the heedlens mothers and they are
punished as they deserve, this sort of thing
Is likely to stop."
That Is the way your paragraph (about
babies killed by automobiles) should have
read, but then you would have to have the
courage of a Graham Phillips to make such
a true statement. What are babies doing
In tho streets?
I've watched them walk right In front of
an autoAiobtle. There's no missing them.
It Is the wloked mothers who should be
punished. They should keep their children
out of the Btreeta. The street children are
filthy from neglect and are turned loose Into
tho street because the mother (God save the
word) wants to be rid of them. Mother

the word. But they might learn the mean

NATIONAL POINT OF VIEW
The rising tide for Charles E. Hughes
demonstrated Its force throughout rural
Nebraska. Tho outpouring at Omaha
signaled the November flood. Omaha Bee.
The real attitude of the Administration
toward business Is revealed by Its hostility
to foreign trade, whenever It lays claim to
support or protection by the Government
Indianapolis News. ..
The problem presented by the South Is
this: It Is a section In which all political
tesues are predetermined. The "solid'
South means simply that it was decided nity
years ago how the South will voto next
November. There Is no political doubt In
the South. There can be no political Issues
In the South. There Is no political ques
tioning. Chicago Tribune.
"Tou enpnot repeal a surrender" Mr.
Hughes's reply to aheckler at Sioux City
last night was much more , than an
effective epigram. What It put Into five
words Is the essential truth of tho matter,
and hardly required the addition of any
comment to make It, for an intelligent mind,
a complete answer to the silly question
aBked by the heckler. New York Evening
Post
Democratlo orators, defending the Ad
ministration's record on preparedness, point
proudly to the fact that in March, 1915,
two drcadnoughta were authorized and
that In 1916 Congress approved the con
struction of eight big ships of war. It Is
a line campaign navy. If words could lay
the keels, mount the big guns and launch
the fighting craft, we would have them
