PER if EAR lit ADTANCE
THE OMAHA SPEECHES.
Readine President Wilson's two
Omaha speeches after going through
the recent outgivings of Hughes, Taft,
Roosevelt, Shaw and the rest of the
republican orators was like coming
into the fresh air of outdoors after a
long stay in a stuffy room. There
was breadth' and vision in those
speeches. Together they constitute a
comprehensive statement of 'how a
statesman sees the future of the
United States, not in the light of tem
porary events and difficulties, but in
relation to the fundamentals of na
tional belief and aspiration.
We have heard a great deal about
war, how we have kept out of it or
why we should go in. These discus
sions have related to mines in Mexico
or blockades in Europe. Now Presi
dent Wilson tells us that if we are
forced into war it must , be over a
clear issue of human rights, and in
stantly the American conscience as
sents. Our country was born of a
war for human rights, and if we have
any mission among the nations of the
earth it is the assertion of those rights
and their extension everywhere. If
we mingle in world politics it must
be with an aim in view, and President
Wilson told his hearers that he fa
vored letting the world know that we
are ready to lend our force without
stint to the preservation of peace1 in
the interest of mankind.
That is to be our world policy with
respect to war and peace if President
Wilson is re-elected, and what Ameri
can cannot join with him in that?
There cannot be many, nor can there
be many, either, who would prefer the
leadership of those whose policy would
drag us into the present European
conflict, with its tangled motives rang
ing all the way from righteous in
dignation to land-hunger, dynastic
ambition and revenge. '
But we have opportunities as well
as duties. How does President Wil
son see our opportunities? He does
not see them in a return to policies
which confined our operation to the
territory of the United States and
forget the rest of the world. Already
under his guidance we have taken
great strides toward the goal of world.
wide trade. This country has ceased
to heckle business and begun to help
business. The establishment of the
trade commission for that purpose
marks our advance in this direction,
and the new currency law with its
provisions for branch banks in foreign
lands is pioneering the way for great
er trade. These accomplishments are
sufficient evidence of the president's
ability to go forward, as he tells us
he wishes us to do, with a policy
which sees the whole world as Amer
ica's field. In place of this forward
vision, Mr. Hughes asks the country
to turn back to the policies which
made the United States the most self
centered of the great nations.
We do not believe the United States
will turn back with Hughes. We be
lieve it will go forward with Wilson.

Senator Hitchcock has established

REASONS FOR DEFEATING WIL-
SON.
Candidate Hughes, floundering in
the sea of conjecture for a plank upon
which he and ihe republican party can
keep afloat, might do well to seize
upon some of the following sound,
solid and weighty business reasons for
the defeat of Mr. Wilson:
The population of the United States
lias increased, during the Wilson ad
ministration, approximately from 94,-
736,000 to 101,300,000. There 'has been
an increase of $41,000,000, or 21 per
cent in the national wealth. Our debt
to Europe has been, reduced from
$6,500,000,000 to $3,160,000,000, or 51
per cent. ' Gross annual bank clearings
have climbed from $163,408,000,000 to
$224,338,000,000, a gain of 34.9.
An' increase of $6,500,000,000 or 33
per cent is noted in total bank depos
its, and the stock of gold in the United
States had mounted from $1,818,006,
000 to $2,439,000,000, an increase of
34.1 per cent.
During this same administration
foreign commerce has increased from
$4,278,000,000 to $6,531,000,000, or 52.i
per cent. .The balance of trade in our
favor has gone up to $2,136,000,000
from $55i,000,000, a gain of 287.6 per
cent. Manufactured exports have in
creased from $1,020,000,000 to $2,600,-
000,000, a 155 per cent' gain. ,.
Surely these ..facts and ' figures
should bring about the downfall of
President Wilson and ; the ' democratic
administration, but? should njore. rea
sons be required, thistmight be -added:
" ; Wages : paid-in ..manufacturing in
dustries have gone from $3,766,000,000
to $5,320,000,000, gaining 4115 per
cent. And the value of manufactured
products has increased $9,400,000,000
or 41.2 per cent. Capital employed in
manufacturing industres, has soared
from $21,000,000,000 to $32,200,000,-1
000 a gaiii of 30.9 per cent." ' .. .

he would hardly fierht democracy. For
under the very doctrine which he set
down a3 fundamental in tho conduct
of great campaigns he would have to
join hands with democracy, this year.
and aid in the fight to preserve th;
gratifying high prices which all of
Nebraska farm products now bring.
The ''well enough" of the Wilson
administration has been just a little;
bit the best "well enough" the nation
has seen. Prosperity is universal .
Mark would have to admit it if he saw
it and everywhere the hum and whirl
of the wheels of industry make musk
to which a mammoth army of working
men chant a gladsome refrain.
In the name of Mark Hanna and

That was certainly an outpouring
of voters who came to Plattsmouth
to see and hear Keith Neville, the
democratic candidate for ' governor,
Monday night.
Hon. John a Maguire should be
elected to congress because he is a
man of the. people. He done good
work for his constituents when he was
a member of congress for six years,
and he will continue the good work, if
elected next Tuesday.

pay the taxes.

Abraham Lincoln Sutton, while ?.
member of the legislature, voted
against further protection of female
chastity by raising the age of consent
from 15 to 18 years. Are we to under
stand that Abraham Lincoln Sutton's
republicanism is the kind that believes
in protecting American industry and
putting famale virtue on the free list?
:o:
Think for yourself and not for. Ha r-
man, the present food commissioner,
and vote against the amendment to
extend his term of office to six years
longer. That is what there is in it for
Harman, and nothing for the people.
It is pure selfishness on the part of
Harman to ask for the adoption of
such a selfish amendment, and nothing
more.

In 1912, when Justice Hughes was a
member of the United States supreme
court, and was asked to become a
candidate for president, he said: "The
man who, on the highest judicial tri
bunal would consider another office, is
fit neither for the one he holds nor
for the one to which he aspires."
What possessed Mr. Hughes to change
his mind at this time?
:o:-
All but two of the republican candi
dates for state office live in Omaha or
Lincoln. The two living outside of
the two big cities will not, if elected,
serve on any state board having to
do with the finances of the state. Mr.
Farmer, do you want your land valued
for taxation by men whose knowledge
of land values is formed from the
standpoint of city real estate values ?

THE AGE OF CONSENT.
When Sutton voted against raising
the age of consent of the girls of Ne
braska in the legislature of 1895 there
were but two others who voted with
him. One of these was Robertson of
Lancaster, who explained his vote by
saying that it "wasn't a bill to pre
vent crime, but a bill to prevent the
seduction of young girls under 18
years. And tnat is just the conten
tion that is being made today. It
was a bill to stop the seduction of
young girls under 18 years of age
that A. L. Sutton voted against the
passage of when he was in the house
'of representatives. Opposed to Mr.
Sutton and voting for the bill was
found such men as Charles H. Sloan,
now congressman from this district;
T. P. Munger, now judge of the fed
eral court; Edgar Howard, now a
candidate for lieutenant governor; C.
D. Casper, Orlando Teft, Addison
Wai, Mr. Rouse, afterward speaker
of the house; Mr. Garrison, after
ward president pro tern of the senate.
These and others of prominence
fought and worked for the bill. It
received 80 votes in the house and
20 votes in the senate. And only 3
votes were cast against it in both
houses, of which A. L. Sutton was
one. Mr. Voter, you have got to say
