As Woodrow Wilson is strong, so must be the men who are to be named on the various state tickets that are to be voted on in November. This state in particular calls for a strong Democrat at the head of the ticket. Marcus H. Holcomb at the head of the Republican ticket is such & man that calls for a worthy op- ponent. The Democrats know this. They appreciate the strength of thelr opponents. They glory in it, for the battle of strong agalnst weak 1s never one that calls forth admiration. When glants meet giants the struggle is worth viewing. Give us a giant then on the Democratic ticket so that the contest may be somewhat evened, and then let the better man win, be he Democrat or -Republican. There are big men in the Democratic party any one of whom will make a formid- able candidate for governor. A LOST SENSATION, Since man’s inventions have trans- formed the earth, the business, or is it an art, of going away has lost some of its charm. Leaving home and mother in this day and generation is not accompanied with all the glamor and romance that bedecked it in days of old, except in the instance of a son golng to the war. With the incessant tick, tick, tick of the telegraph and the grind of locomotive wheels, or the churn of a steam-boat propellor, the event that marks the going away of any member of the family is made commonplace. Golng away is not what it used to be in the days of the stage coach. Standing on a railroad mplatform two sweethearts can say good-bye without the semblance of a tear be- cause down in their hearts they know that in case of homesickness or ab- solute loneliness there is always an- other train that traverses the same There is not the expectancy in travel there once was. The train departs from the statlon; but it can always be caught by the fast flying spark of the wire. Hven in the case tracks. Mexico is the largest in history, the value of imports showing a big in- crease over previous record figures, though exports to Mexico are not so large. With the return of stable con- ditions in Mexico our trade should greatly increase.—New York World. PLAYING WITH FIRE. Dangerous To Revive Sectional Hatred Between North and South. (Springfield Republican) The attempt to revive sectional ha- tred between north and south for po- litical purposes seems to be in accord- ance with carefully-laid plans. Sena- tor Lodge’s sectionalism talk in Maine ‘was not the result simply of his own inspiration. Wi have received from the national republican congressional committee at Washington, “for ‘im- mediate release’,” an attack on the southern states, which opens as fol- lows: “The irony of fate was never so ap- parent as in the workings of the democratic party. Had any one been found so bold as to have ventured a prophecy that the time would come when the Union soldier would see the entire government which he saved, un- i der full control of the states which at- tempted to destroy it, he would have been regarded a candidate for the asylum,” declared Representative Si- | meon D. Fess of Ohio, chairman of the publicity committee of the national re- publican congressional committee in a | statement here today. “That time is now reached. The south rides at the head of the procession. The presi- dent and his family are southern in birth and sympathies.” The appeal to the Union veteran to | begin hating again the Confederate veteran is unmistakable in the lan- guage of Congressman Simeon M.‘ Fess of Ohio. On the one hand, the reference to the Union soldier, savior of the country; on the other hand, the reference to the states which attempt- eed to destroy the Union—these con- stitute a most direct and deliberate excitation of sectional passion. The reference to ‘“the president and his | family” as “southern in birth and sympathies” 1s placed before the pub- Hec within a week after the president had delivered one of the most sympa- thetic eulogies of Abraham Lincoln ever spoken. ‘What the surviving Union and Con- federate veterans will think of this sort of campaigning fifty years after the end of the eivil war should not be in doubt. Already arrangements have been made for a joint reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic and the of the steamboat there is the wire- less connection with the land. ‘When the aeroplane comes everyday use as & form of transporta- tion all the glory of going away will have been sent to the olosed covers of books. From California to Maine was once a great journey. From New York to London was a feat of won- der in the days of the salling vessel. ‘With the coming of the Deutschland a new thrill was put into ocean travel into lessings on thee, Berlin fair. lether folk journeyed to the attrac- in street car, on in lim- s there on foot, seback, in farm wagon, ne, or via the jitney, they were arded for their trip.

Now, men shake hands in New Jersey on Mon- Cay and meet new friends and ac- qualntances in San Francisco or Ber- lin before the end of the week. There is indeed too much of the prosaic in going away; it means nothing because there are so many means of coming back. ‘What s this irm we hear so much about and of which Charles Evans Hughes is the talking partner? Thomas R. Marshall, the Democratic candidate for Vice President asks in the name of the American people to be told the name of the sllent partner allied with Mr. Hughes. His ques- tion is this: “Does the firm consist of Hughes and Roosevelt, of Hughes and Hohenzollern, or of Hughes, sur- viving partner of the firm of Hughes and Huerta, closing out a shabby stock of shelf-worn political patent medicines not guaranteed under the Pure Food Act?” No one can accuse the republican state central committee of being su- perstitious.

A political cam- paign with a sectional hate issue win not be a glorious preparation for “that commingling of the blue and the gray.” Confederate veterans, after reading the literature put into circula- tion by the national republican con- gressional committee, and after read- ing Mr. Lodge’s speeches, may feel lit- tle disposed to travel to the nation's capital next summer to hear beautiful orations on a ‘reunited country” and & “common patriotism.” “Americanism” was to have been one of the supreme issues of this con- test for the control of the govern- ment. We have been warned by the racial and nationalistic passions gen- erated by the Hruropean conflict among our population of today to strive anew for national unity in order that the disruptive forees of allienism may not blast the republic. Yet here comes from one of our great political parties an organized effort to restore an at- mosphere of sectional animosity in which the natlon experienced the su- preme agony of its history. The engineers of this partisan movement have a singular conception of Amer- icanism and the wholesome processes of national unification upon which true Americanism must depend. Mr. Hughes’ Opportunity. (Boston Post.) Sooner than he could have expect- ed, and possibly sooner than he might wish, the opportunity has come to Charles E. Hughes to take a stand for the principle of arbitration which he says President Wilson so basely be- trayed in his successful averting of the railroad strike. The situation in the present street rallway strike in New York is exactly the reverse of that which existed in the steam railroad controversy. In this case the men are willing to ar- bitrate the ‘“master and man” con- tracts issue, but the street railway of- ficlals squarely refuse to do it. It proves anew that the principle of ar- bitration is sacred to capitalists when they choose to arbitrate, but of no particulap account when they don’t choose to. But Mr. Hughes' chance to make good his criticism of the president for what he declares was the execu- tive’s failure has now arrived. For once he can be constructive. To be sure, not a word was héard from him during all the president’s negotiations with men and officials as to what Mr. Wilson ought to do. Not a syllable escaped his lips until he arrived at his customary region of hindsight. - He offered no advice, presented no criti- cism; so far as the threatened rail- road strike was concerned he was a perfect sphinx—until there was no longer danger of one. He can make amends for his former silence now if he chooses. He can nobly and publicly uphold the prin- ciple of arbitration which he pro- fesses Is so dear to his heart. He can jssue a ringing appeal to the traction | moguls and financial interests in New York to accept arbitration at once, and thus preserve the .principle that he declares he would have insisted upon in the case in which the president saved the country from untold disas- er. ; Will the candidate do this?
