To this enq was created the Tariif Commission. And whether Woodrow Wilson is re-elected or defeated on November 7 he is going to appoint the membership of that Commission be- fore March 4. He is working on that now. Yesterday in Chicago, speaking before some ten thousand women, President Wilson said the object of Tariff Commission is “to throw light upon what everybody thought they knew all about, and very few people have known anything about at all. My interest in promoting the Tariff Commission was that I wanted to find a body of men who would look at this thing without caring which way the facts cut. I want to find men who will make a scientific inquiry as to the facts, and make an absolutely fearless and frank report, and then let us go on these facts apd not on our sessions. That is the object of deral Trade Commission, too.” No party can afford to make The tariff an issue in this campaign, oe- cause the Tariff Commission precludes any such attempt. In the campaign of four years ago, the tariff was an issue because the Payne-Aldrich tariff was brought before the bar of public opinion ana condemned to die. All parties in that campaign prom- ised tariff reform, Republican, Denio- cratic and Progressive. It was a re- of the tariff downward that the people wanted, and that is what they got. President Taft in 1808 promised revision downward, and the is vision ipdustries were in their finfancy; i was | crude machinery hand, the products de- ered to customers by means of the | old fashioned team; that he stored his | mind with so much local information &6 to make him a welcome guest at all | public functions and caused him to bo | respccted and venerated as the Grand | ©Old Man of New Britain, He lived | for almoest a century, the greater Dartl of thi this anity, the cause of educa- i, in the capacity of teacher and guperintendent of our state schools| @and in other educational work with his dear friend, the late Dr. Henry | Barnard, a scholar and a student like | bimself.

Whether the Underwood tariff is a good tariff or a bad tariff is imma- terial, for the simple reason that the tariff commission will go over the en- tire ground again and see that justice is done. If the proper men are placed on that commission, and there is no doubt the hest men in the country will be secured, they will go at their task with every precaution against wrong-doing. Fvery manufacturer in the country will have an opportunity to be heard, and no gentleman heed abandon the comfort of his London elub to offer expert opinion. There are plenty of men in America who can take care of this job. SPIRIT OF MISSOURIL There is an epidemic of heckling hampering the Hughes tour. Many THE | folk are given to wondering why this Good old Colonel Nod Osborn, editor of the New Haven Journal- Courler, has a solution. He says there is no evidence to show that the men is so. | who heckle Mr. Hughes wherever he happens ‘to be are hired disturbers drafted from the party of opposition, but that there is plenty of evidence that they are men fired with the spirit of Missouri. The Spirit of Missouri Happy phrase. And it hits the nail on the head. It is indeed the spirit of Missouri that fires these men in search of knowledge. It is not disrespect for the candidate of the Republican party that makes men all along the line de- luge him with a flood of questions. It is the spirit of Missouri. They want to be shown why they should vote for him, an enigma, against a man they know. It is safe to say that many of the men who heckle Candidate Hughes do not fully accord in all the things done by Woodrow ‘Wilson. They might even be irrevoc- ably against Wilson. But before vot. Hughes they want to be “shown.” That is the spirit of Missouri. ‘‘Show Me.” The man who originated the ques- tion, What Would You Have Done Mr.- Hughes? was fired with the very soul, the very spirit of Missouri. In fact, we have an inkling that it was old Champ Clark in his honest way who propounded that terrific question which must seem like a night-mare to the Candidate. With that first shot there have come many other questions, pertaining to the Danbury Hatters' case, the invasion of Bel- gium, the sinking of the Lusitania, the recognition of Carranza, and, fiinally, the settlement of the railroad The men who ask these ques- tions, who heckle Mr. Hughes, are indeed fired with the spirit of Missouri. They want to be shown just how Mr. have handled any of the given problems that confronted Mr. Wilson. As yet tne fire that rages in the breasts of all true Missourians has not been quenched. Mr. Hughes is a poor fireman. He has not sub- dued the raging flames. Instead of satisfying the spirit of Missouri, the 100 per cent candidate, by a system of ayoiding the issues, and not answering the direct ques- tions, has sent all seekers after know- ledge floating gently down the River of Doubt, first diseovered by Colonel Roosevelt. Asked what he would have done after the Lusitania was sunk he tpld what he would have done before that ship sailed and ended with the “And ¢hen, sir, the Lusitania would not have heen sunk,” which does not answer the guestion at all. The same holds ing for strike. now famous phrase, o lutely suited to all conditions, true in his disposal of the question NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1916 dealing with the railroad strike. He was asked what he would have done when the climax came in the rail- the moment when wavered between and despair on the one hand and a peaceful and just settle- ment on the other. In characteristic he said he would have ap- pointed a commission, placed the case before the country and the blame where it belonged, and then there would have been no “surrender.” Men in this year of voting are hon- estly seeking after the truth. If they are not in accord with what Presi- dent Wilson has done they are search- ing for some one who can do better, who would have handled differently road controversy, the entire nation destruction evasion, had to settle. In the first instance, these men thought Mr. Hughes would fill the bill. He himself believed he was what the doctor ordered, else he would not have forsaken the Su- preme Court. As the Hughes tour goes on, however, it is seen that there is great disappointment. It is not so much a disappointment in the can- didate himself as it is a disappoint- ment in his trained troupe of'camp followers. They are of such a motley color that they scare off many who would not be afraid of Mr. Hughes were he standing by himself. With the Rooseveltians, the Lodses, and the pro-Britishers on one side, and the Ridders, the O'Learyites, the German-American Alliance on the other, it is no wonder that men have become fired with the spirft of And they must be shown. But Mr. Hughes is not showing them. Missouri. Easy When You Know How.

Question: “What would you have done, Mr, Hughes, if this had hap- pened and you had been President?” “If I had been President this could not have happened, because I would have caused it to be known in advance that I was opposed to train robberies and I would have said this with such firmness that every one would have known that I was determined to up- hold American property rights on land and sea, and the robbery would not have taken place. This robbery was due entirely to the weak and vacilla- ting policy of Woodrow Wilson.” (Loud cheers.)—From a speech that Mr, Hughes might have made, as re- ported by The New York World.

WILD ENTHUSIASM AS WILSON SPEAKS Cheered for Ten Minufes by | 18,000 in Chicago Hall Chicago, Oct. 20.—President Wilson closed a remarkable day in Chicago by | addressing a crowd of 18,000 persons | at the International Amphitheatre on | the south side last night. The ovation | was the greatest he has received since the campaign began. The crawd, when the president entered, cheered him wildly for ten minutes before it could be quieted, Governor Dunne, who sat beside the president on the platforni, helped to lead the demon- stration. The scene resembied a national con- vention. Hats were thrown into the air and there were all the other mani- festations of political enthusiasm. The meeting was an outcome of the third annual convention of the New Citizens Alliance. The audience was sc impatient to hear the president that it would hardly permit Governor Dunne to speak. Clarence A. Good- win, who acted as chairman, was l constantly interrupted with shoutg for Aatrons During 7he B1g Stores (94 nniversarydale. Valuable Articles Both Userul /And Orpamental.

The president received an- other tremendous ovation as he rose. The president chose as his theme the purpose of new voters in giving their alleglance to America and the duty of citizens of the United States. “The person who chooses the United States as his nation,” he said, ‘‘does not need to give up his love for his home. But it is his duty to put his new allegiance above every other al- legiance. A great outhurst greeted this remark, of applause Most Exraordinary Must Know America. “A man must know what America bas been to know what America is,” he continued. *Not only that but citizens who came top this country must not live by themselves.” The president expressed his regret that some new peaple should do this, and declared that the strength of the nation lay in its common feeling. The president then declared that the cosmopolitan composition of _ the United States permitted it to under- stand the world and stand for the rights of mankind everywhere. This brought another outburst, with shouts of “Hurrah for Woodrow!" Speaking of the settlement of the war, Mr. Wilson asserted that America would be able to interpret the needs of the world because she came from all stocks. “Let us never seek an inch of foreign territary,” he sald, “but let| us stand by the little nations that need | to be stood by. Let us see that there are no boundaries to the rights of | mankind.” The president made three addresses | during his stay here. Addressing the Press club, the president said that Lusiness men should not resist pro- gressive policies, but should try to guide them. “Get aboard,” he sald. “I some- times think men do not get aboard | because they cannot guide.” | President Wilson received the | greatest reception of his campalgn | here. Although the crowds which ceived him in Omaha and Indianapoli on his visits there may have been as large, they did not compare with the masses which thronged Chicago's streets in the exuberance of their wel- come. Nearly 5000 women cheered him wildly at a big gathering in the Auditorium. The president and the democratic leaders who greeted him here were delighted with the day’ course of events.
