WHY A DEMOCRAT OPPOSES
WILSON.
Democrats were considerably dis
turbed a few days ago when Congress
man J. W. Fordney, of Michigan,
placed in the Congressional Record a
long and vigorously worded letter
written by Mr. Louis E. Rowley, of
Lansing, Michigan, who was an ardent
supporter of Woodrow Wilson in 1912
but who will supporr Charles E.
Hughes in 1916. A porrton of the let
ter read as follows: “Speaking as a
democrat, I would not give my
vote to indorse such a record
made if Thomas Jefferson had in
dorsed it a thousand times. I say it
sadly, but in any respects Woodrow
Wilson has made the most undemo
cratic president the country has ever
had—undemocratic alike in his tem
per and in his conception of the func
tion of his office.
“If a republican president had done
the arbitrary, inconsistent, and in
credibly maladroit things which
Wilson has done from the very out
set of his presidential career, the de
mocratic leaders and press would long
ago have u*ited in a deafening de
mand for his summary impeachment
as an intolerable dictator. They are
only prevented from doing so now by
the fact that over his head flies the
democratic flag, which In the stress
of a presidental contest they prefer
to the flag of the country.
“But I cannot take such a narrow,
partisan view of my responsibility as
an American voter. We are passing
through one of the most tremendous
crisis in world history. Tempest
weather is still threatening. Even the
signing of a peace concordat in Eu
rope may increase rather than dimi
nish our national difficulties by pre
cipitating a revolutionary tumult that
will rival the war in its world-con
vulsing consequences. In any event
the end of the war will bring me
mentos economic and international
changes. If there was ever a time
when the United States needed wise,
strong, and steadfast statemanlv
guidance, it is in these destiny
fraught days.
“Fortunately, in the midst of our
national anxieties and bewilderment
one rock of assurance rears its head.
It is the figure of that courageous,
statesman, Charles Evan Hughes.
masterful, and forthright American
“He is a tried and proved certainty,”
is the tribute which was paid to him
by the Democratic New York World
over eight years ago.
“No one has ever accused him of
rhapsodizing or trimming in the pre
sence of grave public perils. No one
has ever questioned his intellectual
conscientiousness.
“He owes all of his national pro
minence to the independence, the
directness, and the ■ unhastening thor
oughness of his political action.
Never in all his public career a bid
der for popularity, he has neverthe
less been taken by the people and ad
vanced to the highest official position.
By consequence, his cereer is one of
the great examples, one of the grat in
spirations, of our country. All of
which goes to /prove that he has
the quality of a representative mind—
the mind of a real leader to whom
(the people instinctively turn in a
time of national need.
“I shall therefore vote for Charles
Evan Hughes with the same patriotic
confidence that I voted for Grover
Cleveland.”
Chief Justice White sat down hard
upon the plan to make Judge Brand
eis one of the Mexican joint com
mission. Another man whom the
president had picked to he a mem
ber of the board declined with thanks
—and the job of selecting the arbi
trators was passed over to Secretary
Lansing. Negotiating with Carranza
is evidently not to be classed as the
favorite indoor sport—to say the
least. However, there must be plenty
of “deserving democrats" willing to
take the job.
Farmers in the States bordering on
Canada, who have been watching the
tremendous strides taken by Canada
in taking a commanding position in
the American market, will not let the
“he kept us out of war" nonsense
blind them to their own interests.
For instance, Canadian shipments of
meats of all kinds to the United
States during the fiscal year ended
June 30. 1913, under the republican
tariff law, totaled $121,267. During
the fiscal year 1914, nine months of
which was under the democratic tariff
law, these shipments totaled $2,530,
000, displacing over 22,000,000 pounds
of meats produced in America. Dur
ing the fiscal year 1915, in addition to
supplying British and Canadian troops
with meats, Canada sent us over $5,
400,000 worth of her meat products,
displacing over 40,000,000 pounds of
the American products. If the cessa j
tion of the European war finds us with 1
democratic free trade in operation,
Canada will have a high old time with
our market for meats.
If the country is to be enguffed by
a great railroad strike, we neutrals
can at least have the crowning satis
faction of cussing both sides and
everybody concerned.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
The Northwestern has had con
siderable trouble at various times
with subscribers who come in or
write to settle their subscription
accounts and maintain that they
ordered the paper stopped when
their time was up. Many of these
cases the present management
knows nothing about, and it does
not seem fair that it should lose
what is rightfully due it on account
of an arrangement made with the
former publisher and of which no
record exists.
To avoid any more misunder
standings The Northwesterh will,
beginning September 1, on the 1st
and 10th of each month mail a no
tice of expiration to every sub
scriber whose subscription expires
on or about these dates.
This plan involves considerable
extra work and expense and we
trust that it will have the desired
effect, and save this firm and our
subscribers any annoyance in the
future.
Please understand that the cards
mailed will not be a request to
settle, but merely a notice of expira
tion, and the paper will continue to
be sent to your address unless we
are otherwise notified and the sub
scription settled to date.

Does Prohibition
Save the Boy?
The Promises
State Prohibition is being urged on the citizens
of Nebraska on the plea that it will save the
boy. *
Let us see whether Prohibition has saved the
boys of Kansas, where state Prohibition has
been tried for 35 years.
The Actual Result:
KANSAS, Sentenced boy inmates Oct 1,1915:
Reformatory.330
Boys* Industrial School. • 264
Total for Kansas . . 594
NEBRASKA, Sentenced boy inmates Oct 1,1915:
(No Reformatory).... none
BoysTndustrial School. . 199
Total for Nebraska . 199
fThe figure* for Kansan were compiled by Chan. M. Harder, Chairman of
the Kansas State Hoard of Corrections, and the figure* for Nebraska
were compiled by the Hoard of Commissioners of State Inst i tut Ions. J
Why Do Three Times as Many
Boys Go Wrong in'Kansas?
J. K. Codding, warden of the Kansas penitentiary, lays the blame on
“The Little Alley Joints” that exist all over Kansas, where, he* says,
men and boys congregate night after night to play poker, shoot craps,
and indulge in debauchery.
[See the warden's report on page 43 of the Proceedings of the Kanxns
Conference of Charities and Corrections, held at Lawrence, Kansas,
November, 11)15.]
Judge Roy T. Osborne, of Independence, Kansas
On page 13 of the same report, says:
• “In the little more than ten years the juvenile court has been estab
lished in Kansas, children under sixteen years of age, in this, state,
have committed practically every crime in the calendar, including
murder in the first degree. * * * It is astounding to observe the
absolute indifference of many parents to the moral welfare of their
offspring. * * * In nearly every community there are places and
forms of amusement unwholesome for children.” * * *
M. G. McKenzie, Chaplain of the Reformatory in Kansas
Says on page 59 of the First Biennial Report, Kansas State Board of Cor*
rectionai
“Of these boys, 202 acknowledged they drank more or less; 275 used
tobacco, 77 gambled. Most of these boys ran around considerable, and
were away from home. when they got into trouble; 265 were from
homes broken by death or divorce.” * * *
THE ALLEY JOINT in Kansas is the corrupting in
fluence that lands so many Kansas boys in the Re
formatory and Industrial School.
