A great secret leaked out at Car negie hall in New York Monday night ard Charles E. Hughes becan.e aware that he had been nominated by polyerot combination of inci'iigruous elements to be its candidate for presi lier.t. With a calm, not to say frigid, pass ivity Mr. Hughes expressed his accept ance of the assignment. His speech of acceptance is to be received vith al- Icwance. He had a di'lic-iilt role to oract. ar.d rather may one wonder that he did so well than compu.iu that he did not do better. Yet in all his long speech there is no', one cheerful utterance pointing to a constructive pobcy. Primarily it is a knock upon everything that has been done and has not been done in the past three ye-.irs. For half a cen tury the democratic party and its leader.--, got their chief satisfaction and one does have at summer resorts ; hupo cut nf knocking on what the re where the one and only amusement is publicans were d-nng or were not do going four times a day to the corner j'ng. Hughes has what small satisfac- grocery and postofiice! "- :o: The fact that1 the college student can tell ail about the ways of Scopio and Ponipey does not prove, that he knows ariything about Joffre and the Grand Duke Nicholas. :o: Unless you arc a light sleeper you wiil never appreciate the annoyances of night raises. The factory explo sion in New York the oilier night g t John D. Rockefeller out of bed. :o: American makers are said to be getting control of the button trade, and it is hoped it won't be necessary any more to send abroad to get cam paign buttons expressive of American patriotism. :o: The agitation of Mr. Hughes over the protection of American property in Mexico no doubt is an echo of his backers, who scent the chance to ex ploit the poor peons and acquire rich concessions. :o: Returning to the question: Let us first of all soberly ask ourselves the question, will a higher speed be in jurious to the welfare of the general public? Further: would a higher speed on the highways cause more accidents? -:o: The acceptance speech of Candi date Hughes seems to have fallen on rather skeptic ears as the general run of the American people can recog nize the real keynote of the speech the desire of the republican to be be hind the "pie'' counter. :o: The resignation of Jesse McNish as chairman of the republican state com mittee has had the effect of a wet blanket on the bosses of the G. O. P. and especially A. L. Sutton, the can didate for governor who owes his nomination to the Omaha influence. The Secretary of State should have i uthority of an automobile examiner whose luty it is to examine every driver of an automobile, and if he does not demonstrate his competency to manage a machine he should not be allowed to drive. There's where all the accidents hi open in incom petency. :o: There are more tenant fanners in Cass county than there are forms oc cupied by owners. The real secret of that is, that there are more of the original farm owners who laid up a competanee. and moved to town than those who have failed to do so. The balance of them however are on the way and they, t-K, may soon add to their possession seme pleasant town property of their choke, while some son or son-in-law is vvoikin- the farm and is endeavoiing- to lff 1 r t'V pnev that "dad" ct. tion that there may be in knowing that fifty years of knocking finally proved successful, and that if the republi cans can keep it up long enough it may succeed again. Mush of the knock of Mr. Hughes upon the policy pursued with respect to our foreign relations, in which he indicates that incompeterce in our diplomatic corps and the quality of our diplomacy was at fault, and thai if we hid Pot given Germany cause to suspect that there was in.-incerity in-hind or brave words with regard to holding belligerents to strict ac ( oiiiitabil'ty the Lusitania horror .wild rever have occurred, is evident ly leveled at Mr. Rival:. .Mr. Hughes hints that he would have boon :v."re serious and severe with Germany. "Had this govern ment," lie says, "by the use of both formal and informal diplomatic op portunities, left no doubt that when we said "strict accountability we meant precisely what we said, and that we should unhesitatingly vindi cate that position, I am confident thai there would have been no destruc tion of American lives by the sinking of the Lus'tania." How ludicrously inconsistent is this statement of Mr. Hughes with the well cestui,! ished face that the strong est single political element that brought about his nomination at Chi cago was incensed by the fact that our goverr.me.it ever even declared that it would hold the offending power to a strict accountability. No other con clusion can he drawn from the words of Mr. Ilnedies than that if he had been the president his attitude to ward Germany would have been more belligerent than -President Wil son chose to assume. Every act of this, government to ward Mexico is severely criticized. Mr. Hughes does not ss.y that we would, had he been president, have recognized! Hucrta, but he leaves the- inference quite plainly that that is what this government ouaht to have done and it was a mi.-iake not to .: ir,. LY ar raigns the ad.nin-stration for not hav ing hoc; 1 irioic drastic n i.- negot-y-1 tions with Mexico, and criticises ir for having finally sent troops to tho border. He inveighs against our state of na-ti-nal unpreparedncss and points to our Mexican experience as proof of it. "In view of the warnings of the past three years," .says Candidate," Hughes, "it is inexcusable that we should find ourselves in this plight." Subtle suggestion, that three years. It evades the fact that this administra tion found the nation tota'iy defence less, loft so by the elements that r.orn inated Mr. Hughes, and that the leg islation in progress centempl-jtes an expenditure of r.enriy 700.0iiO,().lo for defensive purposes, enacted by a dem- c-cratie administration, to cure repub-t It may help some to remember that ican neglect. "I think it little short of absurd," says Mr. Hughes, "that we should be compelled to call men from their shops, their factories, their offices ar.d these are dog days. That makes the he.it official, and easier to endure. :o: We are now being treated again to reports that the state, house is falling LocaS Slews heir professions for such a purpose." . -uVvl)- Anyway America is void of The intimation bcine- that wo should 1 notable rums 1 A I' -- 1 1. nave a siamung army large enotign to :o:- neet stun an emergency as that al"rg the border. Altogether the speech of acceptance ft a necklace of knocks, in which the candidate does not in a single in stance get further than criticism, no where does he indicate what- he would have done under similar circumstances! 1 m-n' lw.iwk t. .1.-. . 1 i'01 ......I,..,. .... but the address is in thorough accord I 1 1 1 1 it- -, 1 . 1 1 1 1 1 1 -- wun me campaign, wnicn is oaseeu on The great undersea route to Ger many dees rot appear to be in 1 etie-r working order than the treihy lines in the Lronx and V.'c.-.tchester. :o: Germany is as last able to report a whole week of crop-ripening sun shine.

PASS THE ( HILD LAIiOK P.ILL President Wilson deserves the greatest commendation for his clToits to force a 1 tact ionary s"nate to con sider the Keating-Owen child labo, bill, which lias been pending before ihat body since February. A highly organized and well-paid iebby, supported largely by southern cotton mill owners, who object to los ing the profit on oxploiud children, has been successful so far in prevent ing action on this legislation. Now Gey plan to "postpone" the bill un til the rhort session next December, and then talk it to death in a filibus ter. The -e is no other conceivable tason why they object to its coa : ideration at. once. If it comes to a vote in the senate, the vote for it will be overwhelming. Few senators will dare record themselves as in fa vor of child exploitation if it comes to a showdown. The bill is exceedingly reasonable in its provisions. It prohibits the in terstate shipment of commodities pro duced by the labor of children under I( in mines and quarries, or undo: 11 ;n mills and factories; prohilnts night vo'k of children between 11 to 1", and provides an eight-hour o:y. There is no form of preparedness more vital than is piovided in legi la tion of this kind. The future of Amer ica depends on the kind of race that inhabits it. And the race i,; absolutely dependent on the children. The men who want to grin! profits -ut of iho toil are! blood of little chil dren are as unpatriotic as a traitor who sells military secrets to an en em c in time of war. Most important of all, t': children are entitled to playtime, recreation and educ-ntion. The oniy product worth while for a nation is human welfare. And the children are capable of producing the largest amount of that valuable commodity.
