On Monday last the New Yorker Herold, under the caption, ‘“Where the Germans Stand,” said editorially: “Every now and then we receive letters the contents of which may be summarized in the following question: ‘In the face of the fact that Messrs. Roosevelt, Bacon, and other rabid anti-Germans are standing by Hughes, don’t you believe that German-Amer- icanism is entering upon a dangerous path when it unreservedly supports the Republican candidate?’ “In answer to this we are able to say that, judging from Hughes' past, he will not, under any circumstances, allow himself to be influenced by these elements in his environment. But even in the worst case, even If Charles E. Hughes should wish to take into office with him the pro- Britishism and the anti-Germanism of which Woodrow Wilson has given such practical and extensive proofs, every citizen of German origin should cast his vote for Hughes, for the rea- sons outlined, as follows, by a Ger- man pastor writing in the Herold des Glaubens: In case the German-Americans give Mr. Wilson a sharp lesson in the election, his successor, Hughes, in order not to spoil the prospects of a second term, will take this well to heart and not feel under the obligation of treading on the German- Amer- icans’ corns too much a la Wil- son. “German blow have al- ready had their effect more than once in this country and brought refractory politicians to their senses. In my opinion, this mode of procedure is the only way by which the German-Americans can extricate themselves with propriety from the dilemma that has developed and assert them- selves politically with respect and honor, without incurring derision and being exposed to ridicule. “These words come from our own heart. United and powerful action i needed—and every vote for Wilson is a vote for unneutrality, partiality, and England.” The aforegoing should meet with the hearty approval of all those who hold to the 100 per cent. candidate’s idea of “Undiluted Americanism,” and “America First, and America Efii- cient.” Tt is indeed a sharp lesson.

EDWARD §. VAN ZILE. —— For a Greater Canada. (Providence Journal), There is a movement on foot in Canada having for its objective the inclusion of the Bermudas and th»2 British West Indies in the Dominion. The inspirers of the movement in- clude a number of prominent Cana- dians, who have banded themselves together as the Canadian West In- dian League. The proposition has not as yet passed beyond the embryotic stage, but it is believed that the peo- ple of the islands would generall welcome the change. If the proposed union should be effected, British Hon- duras and British Guiana—and pos- sibly the far away Falkland Islands— might also be included in the con- solidation. Newfoundland, which has hitherto persistently refused to be- come a part of the Dominion, would probably relent and thus complete the unification of British America, if the rest of Britain’s colonies in the West- ern Hemisphere should get together. Newfoundland has a population of about 250,000, and the other British American colonies have altogether rather more than two million peopla. The white inhabitants of the Bermu- das constitute about two-fifts of the population, but the whites in the Brit- ish colonies to the southward hardly exceed 2 per cent. of the inhabitants. The majority of the colored inhabi- tants are hardly capable of self-gov- ernment, and because of the latter fact that the Canadians would hardly be willing to accord the people of the new accessions full electoral and rep- resentative rights. The proposed annexations would prove a drain upon the Dominion treasury, but would result in a profit- able trade between Canada and i tropical friends. The great prosper- is man’s ity which has come to Porto Rico since the Stars and Stripes were raised over it would, although in a lesser measure, be experienced by the British American tropics under a free interchange of products with Canada. Their prosperity might be greater were they annexed to this country, but the Canadian market itself is a great one, and Canada can consume all the sugar, tobacco and other produc that the British American tropi have to sell. Beach Plums A (New Tork Sun). Volume XVIIL of the New Encyclopedia, Ripe. Inter- published this excellent 742, this in- attack on national vear, is but it contains, on page defensible and snobbish Prunus maritima: “*As a class beach plums are of little value for their fruit, only a single named variety being listed.” The people of the Atlantic coast as far south as Virginia know better. A goodly number of them are now pick- ing these red and purple plums which, a generally work, when stewed down ir sugar, have a unique flavor. Eaien in preserves and jellies the bitterish beach plum is incomparably fine. It is better than wild cherry, as a wild duck is [ better than a tame fowl on the tablec. The beach plum is the “gamest” of | fruits to the epicure. This has been an exceptionally good year for beach plums. We know of a woman whose daughters picked fiftv-one quarts in a day and gave forty quarts away to be rid of an ex- cess they could not use. Long Island stores are selling them at six cents a quart or better, thougn to the d criminating palate they are cheap any price We ourselves have ranged for the apotheosis of not than eight quarts, although high. When the icy winds months hence will sit before a roaring everal al ar- less sugar is blow some it be pleasant ‘o fireplace rd spread we take slow forward to read the pages we a wich plum jelly bites we shall bend by the firelight and shall turn will be those of Stevenson. Without doubt beach plums grew thickly on his treasure island. with beach strain Mr. Hughes was obliged to en- dure is shown by the fact that in twelve days he traveled 5,500 miles, and since the outset of his campaign has covered 20,000. He delivered 89 speeches in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indi- ana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. The reporters agree that Mr. Hughes has increased in effectiveness as a cam- paigner since his first trip to the west. The New York Tribune correspond- ent says that the Hughes speeches, especially since he has made the at- tack on the Adamson law their chief feature, have “dispelled all rumo that he was cold and unappealing, that he could never enthuse a crowd or make it warm up to him.” The New York Sun writer’s verdict is that “it is the candid opinion of men who observed very closely Mr.. Hughes’ progress through the middle west, and with every effort to estimate without bias, that it was a vote-making, thought-provoking tour. There can be no honest doubt that Mr. Hughes did the correct thing in paying much attention to the middle west, and add- ed immensely to his friends out there.” The New York Times man says re- publicans conceded Ohio to be a doubtful state, looked on New Jersey as hopeful and held that the speeches of their candidate “have assured him the solid republican votes in districts of New York state visited outside of New York city.”” But, finally, “there has crept into the situation with the close of the second tour of Mr. Hughes an atmosphere of tenseness which had not been present before. Political leaders who publicly had predicted a landslide for one party or another a short time ago were privately express- ing the opinion that it looked like a close fight.” The Case of O'Leary. (New Haven Journal-Courier.) Mr. Jeremiah A. O’Leary, the pres- ident of the American Truth society, has in a moment of political ecstasy done more to embarrass Mr. Hughes by insulting President Wilson than anything that has thus far entered in- to the consideration of the campaign. He has brought the hyphenate phase of the campaign right out in the open where men can see and view it; where Mr. Hughes cannot possibly ignore it without confirming the unpleasant im- pression that he is willing and know- ing beneficiary of the hypheate vote. No assurance of undiluted Ameri- canism can satisfactorily dispose of Mr. O'Leary and his radical suppor of Mr. Hughes. No assurance of Am- erica First and Alwa can satisfac- torily dispose of the fact that the president of the United States has been grossly insulted by one who can in no conceivable manner be granted a reputation for genuine American citizenship. Mr. OLeary and his as- sociation are opposing President Wil- son because he for America before all other considerations. Mr. O’Leary and his association are sup- porting Mr. Hughes mecause they do not attribute to him a like condition of mind. Mr. Hughes cannot afford 1o profit such an endorsement any more than Mr. Wilson could have af- forded for a moment to remain lent under the vulgar letter sent him by Mr. O’Leary Mr. O'Lear) by si- may not be anti-Amer- ican. His hatred, which has a prof sional sound, of England is so bitter that he is ready to be pro or anti any thing provided blows are struck at th welfare of England. In this particu- ! lar campaign, which should be non- partisan so far as the internatioal re- lations of this country are concerned, Mr. O'Leary is pro-German because that attitude permits him to show his hatred of England. A sense of un- d:luted Americani demanded of Mr. Wilson that he denounce Mr. O'Leary for his disloyalty, and to de- nounce all otkers who think as he thinks. Nothing would confirm the impression of his sturdy Americanism so much as for Mr. Hughes to set hi seal of disapprovalupon the imperti- nent leticr sent President Wilson b: Mr. O'Leary and the sentiments it ex- presses. Mr. Hughes cannot afford to let the opposite impression prevail. That mor~ then anything else is c ing int> question his temperamental fitness for the high office for which he is a candidate. Jt is just such an in- cident this of Mr. O'Leary’s that forces men to ask, what has become of the Charles Fvan Hughes whose rec- ord is written so high the great state of New York? Politics in Appointments. (Philadelphia Record) his labored on the Wil- son administration Professor Taft, of Yale, makes the awful charge William Jennings Bryan was ed secretary to state “to solidify democratic party in congress in sup- port of legislation which Mr. Wilson was secking, and with a view to politics.” Well, what of That w perfectly valid reason the appointment. When Lincoln be came president he chose as his secre- | tary William H. Seward, who In attack that do- e mestic Ao state the republican nomination for the | presidency Seward was a | without dinlomatic experience, and | the appointment was made purely for the purpose of bringing his faction of the party to the support of the ad- ministration in its policies. This was good politics and good sens In lawyer had been his principal competitor for ! McKinley absolutely ignored this fact in order to do a political favor for Hanna. Political considerations have al- ways largely ruled in the appoint- ments of secretaries of state, just as in those of other cabinet officer: This m. be good practice but it long before Woodrow Wilson was born, and it will prob- ably continue indefinitely. Mr, Bryan may not have made an ideal secre- tary but his qualifications for tho place were certainly as great as those of most of his predecessors. When Roosevelt for example, named Robert Bacon for this office was any pretense made that this was other than as a reward for faithful personal service and conspicuous success while a part- ner in the firm of J. P. Morgan in collecting generous contributions for the G. O.

For many y Germany ars the militarists of prepared with great care for the war which they at last forced upon a goodly section of the civilized world. Leaving aside all questions save that of their preparedness, therc must be admiration for the great work they accomplished in the w of getting ready. Their seige guns were astonishingly effective. Their trench building was marvellous. But in one thing they have fallen far short of expectations. Their Zep- pelins have proved to be a rank fai ure. When we say failure we mean from a military point of view. OF course, a Zeppelin can drop bombs upon unfortified cities or upon vil- lages and kill men, women and chil- dren in their beds. But that is not war. That is pure murder, and of a particularly atrocious kind, akin to the drowning of the passengers of the Lusitania, Much had been Zeppelins. anticipated of the In fleets they were to at- tack England, blow up its defences and its ammunition plants and open the country to invasion. Two years and have gone by, and the hment of the Zeppe- lin has been murder. So far as 1s known there has been no important destruction from a military viewpoint. It is apparent that there can be no such destruction based upon any pre- conceived plan. The bomb must be dropped aimlessly, and if it hits any- thing it is by chance and chance only. Not only that, but the fact that two of these airships were brought down in the Saturday night raid proves that schemes of defence can be highly or- ganized. Germany has expended untold mil- lions upon this sort of craft, millions that are worse than wasted, for ail that the Zeppelin hag amounted to has been to increase the detestation that civilization holds for all atrocities. more’ highest accompl Sir Wilfred is Coming Bac (Waterbury Democrat.) average citizen of the United knows very little about Cana- politics, and yet the subject is which should interest all of us very much, because of our close prox- imity to the Dominion and the many personal and business ties which bind the two countries togethe >articu- larly should we watch Canadian poli- tics now, owing the practical cer- tainty that the voters of Canada will at their next general eclection over- throw the conservative government and return the liberals to power. The provincial election just held in British Columbia resulted in an over- whelming liberal victory. So far as British Columbia is concerned, the conservative party was practically wiped off the map. This clection was The| States dian one to quite generally considered the last hope of the conservative party. For 18 months or more things have been steadily going against the conserva- tives. Every provincial and every bi- election has registered a liberal vic- tory, similar in meaning to the recent election in British Calumbia and the provincial election in Manitoba about a year ago. The liberal party showed increased pluralities in Quebec and Montreal, and carried the day in every case where a special election was held to fill a vacancy. Various reasons are given for these evidences of strength, including some d tion with the way in which the Borden government has handied Canadian ac- tivities, a growing feeling of conserva- tive inefficiency in other ways and the purging from the liberal party of the special privilege interests which brought it into disfavor and were largely responsible for its downfall a The Dominion general held in the fall of 1917, few years aso election will be It would naturally have come this vear, i was postponed twelve months because of war conditions. Tt seems practically certain, barring a complete revulsion of feeling. that the liberals will return to power in Can- ada in 1917. - This, in turn, will mean that Sir Wilfred Laurier, Canada’ “Grand Old Man,” again will be pre- mier of the Dominion at 70. made purely “with a view | Charles E. Hughes made an excoriat- ing attack on the Constitution of the United States as adopted by the con- vention in a campaign speech which he delivered here tonight. Mr. Hughes denounced the Constitution on the ground of sectionalism. He pointed out that a Virginia delegate named George Washington presided over the conventions that framed this Constitution and that another Vir- ginia delegate named James Madison was the guiding spirit. To make a bad matter worse, the convention was influenced enormously by the writings of another Virginian named Jefferson, Mr. Hughes showed that only one delegate from New York had signed this Constitution, but southern states were largely represented. “We must have a national government,” he salid, “not a sectional government.” Washington, Dec. 12, 1882 Charles E. Hughes made an excoriat- ing attack on the Nullification Procls mation of President Jackson in a| campaign speech which he delivered here tonight. Mr. Hughes insisted that there was no crisis and that no new issue was presented by the South Carolina doctrine of nullification. “The president says of his proclama- tion that it is ‘to meet an emers- " he remarked. “What emerg- dent’s much ‘as there haad action was indefensible inas- | been no public investigation into the facts. The president and the country could not know in the absence of such an in- quiry whether nullification was wi or unwise. Mr, Hughes bitterly cen- sured President Jackson for having | threatened to hang John C. Calhoun, | and said that if the president override the judicial proce in fashion we had practically reached dictatorship in this country. Besid added Mr. Hughes, nullification ought to have been submitted to arbitra- tion, “I believe in arbitration.” Washington, Jan. 2, 1863.—Charles | E. Hughes made an excoriating tack on President Lincoln's Bmanci- pation Proclamation in a campaign speech which he delivered here to- night. Hr, Hughes emphatically de- nied that the judgment of soclety fa- vored the emancipation of the slaves. He said the war was being fought on the issue of secession and that so- clety had had no opportunity to ex- press its opinion on the emancipation question. “The measure to which T allude is not, strictly speaking, an emancipa- tion measure,” he said. “It is a wage measure. Whether the negroes aro free or not, they must still work, hut if they are emancipated they will de- mand a regular rate of pay for their labor. It is a plain proposition for‘ a change in the wage scale. Washington, Oct. 31, 1864.— Charles E. Hughes made an excoriat- ing attack on President Lincoln’s foreign and Mexican policies in a campaign speech which he delivered here tonight. Mr. Hughes charzed that the Lincoln Administration had failed to protect American lives and property in Mexico and that it had failed to prevent Great Britain from building and releasing the Confeder- ate commerce-destroyers, particular- ly the Alabama, which had inflicted | immense damage upon American shipping. “The president couvld h su has been weak and vacillating in his dealings with Great | Britain, France and Mexco,” decl Mr. Hughes, “and 1 blush with shame.” “We propose that we shali enforce American rights on land and sea,” he said, “with respect to all na- tions throughout the world with spect to American lives, American property and American commerce. We propose to stand four-square among the nations of the earth. We have no unstated purposes. We are just plain American.” Washington, Sept. 15 18 Charles E. Hughes made an excoriat- ing attack on President Grant and the Alabama Claims award in a paign speech which he delivered here tonight. ~ Mr. Hughes showed that the Alabama began its depredations in 1862 and that ten years had been allowed to lapse before a settlement was reached. The blame for this, he said, rested largely upon President Grant, who had dawdled and tem- porized for more than three vears afi- red re- cam- er taking office before forcing the claims to an issue. “We have had brave words,” he sald. “It is not | words, but strength and resolution | | behind the words, that count.”” *T | ‘Im]lr\\'r’ in America First and Effi- cient,” he added. Mr. Hughes' voice is weak, but he intends to continue the campaign with unabated vigor. The Attitude. (New Journal-Courier.)

Its refusal is based upon principles of strict neutrality, and has been ap- proved by no less an authority on international law than William How- ard Taft, and by all unprejudiced professors of international law An attempt to intimidate the congress in- to forbidding the exportation of mu- nitions of war was indignantly re- jected by republicans and democrats alike. The great sense of the coun- try favors exactly the policy that has been pursued from the start of the war. And yet ouriously enough the Ger- man-American vote is going to be cast for Mr. Hughes, the nominee of the party which, with the democrats refused to approve the proposed em- bargo law. He has over and over again declared his undiluted Ameri canism but without impression upon that vote. Either they do not be- lieve him or they are satisfled that they are enrolled with their friends The quickest way. perhaps, to clear up the situation would be for some one to ask Mr. Hughes and force from him an answer to the question Would you, if elected, place an em- bargo upon munitions of war? That would clarify things in a second. We ‘ which the administration has conduct- should know then where we are. NS [
