Theater managers are seriously con

melodrama, because patrons want to
see the villain get the worst of it.
Tney want more than that. They
want the villain to get all that's com

jailure if the villain merely jets shot.
That's too easy. They want the hero
to beat him up, and the heroine tr
pull his hair ai"l scratch him,
then if he isn't thrown over a cliff, the
patrons go away with the feeling thai
the film was only lair.

THE RECORD.
Says a single sentence "illler" in a
chert of cnmixiign "dope"' sent cut by
the lepublican national committee the
other day.
"The insuperable handicap of the
tic party in this campaign is
its record."
Unfortunately for 2r. Hughes and
the old guard every act of the demo
cratic admini tuition and of the demo
cratic congress is open to public in
spoctio;i. Not only thut but democrats
welcome examination of their record.
They are willing to stand upon it.
They are willing to put it up against
the record made by crfiy republican
administration at any time in the pa.t.
If the iccord is against the tlemo
ciatic party then the federal reserve
act is wrong. Will the republican.;
stand for its repent?
K the record i ; again.;, the d- in :
c:at;c ra:ty "then the child labor leg
islation is wrong. Do f'c r 'publican .5
want to he understood as favoring re
peal of that measure .'
If the record is against tiie demo
cratic parry then the .Mexican policy
which is conserving the young ir.t-n of
the iun;i as.: :vt desiroyi:iLr ihem, is
w;o!:g. - Do the l epubiie o: s want to
co-mo out flatly before the people on
their nuiicv of war?
If the record is aga!nt the demo-j
trade party then the policy which ha;
kent us from war with France and
clan.l an! Germany and the behi-j
gcrents of Europe is wrong. Will Col
onel Roosevelt v.v.A the republican.
ccme out and advocate war with any
or nil of these countries?
If the record is against the demo
Cintle party then the anti-trust legis
lation which removed the preferred
interests from their grip on public
riehts, is wrong. Will the republicans
admit that they a:-e willing to restore
ptivi'ege to big business, ami to take
their rights away from the people?
Jf it is an "insuperable handicap"
for the democratic party to have acted
for ijour years in the interests of the
people, and to have kept Columbia's
unsullied flag floating high above the
flags of all the nations of the earth
while a civilized world engaged in
merciless warfare, then the greater
handicap imposed upon the party the
greater must be the honor to which it
is entitled for having undertaken the
burden.
The. single sentence attack will do
more good than harm to the demo
cratic cause. A statement to gather
force must contain truth. This state
ment, obviously, is devoid of truth.

President Wilson. Many republicans

A GOOD STATE.
An incense of ;;;:,r90,00t in the do
posits in Nebraska state banks in the
past three and a half months sets an
other peg in the prosperity scoreboard.
The state is not only making much
money, but it is patting it in the bank,
all of w hich advertises Cornhuskcrdom
to the world as a pretty good place to
live, after all.
Without reference to a single issue
before the people, and shutting our
cars necurcly against the pleadings of
parties and candidates and all, th
fact remains that anyone who seeks to
tear down Nebraska thi year is going
to have a Titanlike task. Life here is
just as enjoyable as in any other state
in the Union, and much more enjoyable
than in most states. And there are
very few valid grounds for complaint
as to social, or moral or mental of
physical conditions in Nebraska. :
Tis a good state we live in let's
rec how wo can excel each other in
boosting it, and attracting outsiders
to come here and enjoy it with us.

Gy Irving Fisher, Professor of Politi
cal Econcmy, Yale University, and
Member President Rcose
vclt's Naticnal Con
servation Con
gress. I attended the three conventions in
Chicago and Et. Louis, also son: ?
meetings of their platform commit
tees, was present at Mr. Hughes' cere
mony of acceptance and have read
carefully the important documents and
speeches of the campaign. After care
ful consideration. I have joined the
Wilson Independent league. I thor
oughly believe that the best interests
of the country requires Mr. Wiir.onV.
re-election.
My chief reasons for voLing for
President Wilson follow;
1. The so-called is-:ues of ''Amer
icanism,' preparedness, the. Lusitani.i
incident, the Mexican situation, and
ail others that have gtown out of for
eign affairs, appear to mo to be merely
red herrings acrrss the trail."' intended
to put the public on" the scent. I have
little doubt that, by diverting attenion
from themsolves to these trumped u:
is sues, the v publican "old guard"
hone to "put over" on the public an
other "Payne-Aldrich" tariff-. They
expect to work the war and Mexico
for aH they are worth to both hide
and guide th.e'r, own private interests
after the election.
"J. Moreover. ;uite irrespective cf
the moral
ue m
rotvetion.
it
ei m ; io me bad nati'-nal policy tr
keep the tariff longer in politics. The
election of Mr. Hughes would surely
v!o ihU T'Utt "f M:"- VVilson would at
beast ' for toward di onionf the tni if;"
4 i
out of politics anil toward tailing poli-
tics out of the tariff. It, is worih not
ing that if suv'i a result can be accom
plished through a tariff commission, it
will certainlv i.ot be through a tariff
commission appointed by protecticn-
ISlS.
3. I believe, at heart, Mr. Wil-on's
Mexican policy is sounder than that
which Mr. Hughes seems to indorse.
Few -of the American people realize,
as Mr. Wiison rtali:es, that here, too.
i-; a ca-e (and n far worse one than
American protection) of special inter
ests capturing a government in their
own behalf.
-1. So far as our relation to Euro
pcan affairs is concerned, I do not
think that we iill become more effi
cient by swapping horses while we
arc crossing a stream. A change may
plunge us into war and it would cer
tainly, in the four months between
election and inauguration, paralyze
our foreign policy completely. From
November to March may be the most
critical months of the war. If Mr.
Hughes is elected neither we nor for
eign nations will know, during that
interim, exactly where we stand.
. There is another great danger to
our national efficiency in voting the
republican ticket. If Mr. Hughes is
elected, the senate will probably re
main democratic. Only a Republican
landslide can make the senate republic-en
and of such a landslide there
seems no prospect. .
(. The democratic platform is more
progressive and effective than the re
publican. The plank on woman suf
frage is more progressive than the
republican. Mr. Wilson is more care
ful than Mr. Hughes to avoid giving
the impression of making promises be
yond his party's platform, promises
which he cannot give any guarantees
of keeping. Hut he is, I have reason
to believe, at heart more of a suffra
gist than Mr. Hughes, who seems to
accept woman suffrage as a sort of
necessary evil; he would marry the
suffragette to get rid of her!
- 7. I think the democrats have kept
faith with the people and deserve re
election on their record. Taken as a
whole the Wilson administration has
been more conservative than any pre
vious administration for a generation.
The Federal Reserve act, the Farm
Loan act, the Underwood act, the
Child Labor act and a half dozen oth
ens of importance are a monument,
and an imposing one, to Mr. Wilson's
efficiency in proposing, preparing and
pushing legislation through congress.
S. I also think that Mr. Wilson has
withstood, with lemarkable firmness,
iho tremendous pressure of office-seek
ers and maintained, as well as any
nrevious piesident, especially at a
change of administration, the princi
ple.! of civil service reform. The at
tempt to prove the contrary has failed
t. Like many other voters, I am re
pelled, rather than attracted, by a
campaign of carping criticism in
which the speeches of the republican
candidate consist chiefly of fault-find
ing, even where faults are to be found
Ridicule is a cheap political device
which ill befits MfT Hughes.

Commenting on the tclegi am which
Charles E. Hughes rent to Governor
Hi rain Johnson cf California, con
giatukithvr him upon his nomination
for the United. States se nate, Mr. Mc
Ccrmiek said: "Mr. Hughes's act in
congratulating Governor Johnson is
typical of the republican candidate.
When a word of recognition might
have proved helpful to Johnson in his
primary fight, Mr. Hughes was silent.,
When sulT' age was an issue in his own
state of New York Mr. Hughes was
silent. Now that lie is a candidate lie
thin.s he wii! 'e able u catch ti e
women voters in the suffrage states,
so he indorses suffrage as a na'iciil
issue. His attitude, toward the po
gressives and toward the women is the
same, and his action in each case is
the action of the typical politician."'
