UGHES TALKS 10 o THE KENTUCKY FOLK “ andidate Tells Heckler What # He Would Have Done in 5 Lusitania Oase. HE WOULD HAVE WARNED Louisville, Ky, Oct. 13.—Charles P Evans Hughes went through the ountains of Kentucky yesterday, a ‘new campaign field for presidential ominees, outlining his views on the maintentnce of American rights, and nded his day’s tour of the state with 'a meeting here tonght, in which he declared that the “new freedom,” ad- ‘,vocaled by President Wilson four ears ago, had been transmuted in‘one espect to “the new slavery " Mr. Hughes, answering a question | ere tonight as to what he would| ave done when the Lusitania was unk, declared that “when notice was ublished with respect to the action ! hreatened. | would have made it known. iny terms unequivocal and nmistakable that we should not tol- erate a continuance of friendly rela- jions through the ordinary diplo- igmatic channels if that action were Sitaken.” Asks Question Be Put. " The crowd drwned the voice of the questioner with noots and cat t calls, but Mr, Hughes requested that | | the interrupter be permitted to put ¥ his question. When Mr. Hughes finished his | statement of what he would have done, he added, “And the Lusitania, sir, would not have been sunk.” The audience applauded long and loudly. M.r Hughes said that a. the very beginning he would have had the State depirtment so equipped us to command the respect of the world) Mr. Hughes spoke in six towns to- day to audiences that had come, for the most part, for miles to hear them They ¢came down from the mountains men arid women, on foot. on horse- back and on muleback Some of the mounts had saddles, some had none and many of the women that came to hear him came wearing’ their faded sunbonnets and\ smoked their clay pipes as he talked. At Pikeville, first stop of the day, hundreds had jour- b neyed’ since sunup. A special train from Marrowbone, crowded to ca- pacity, swelled the crowd, Speaks to Fields of People. At several stops the nominee’s spe- ial train was backed down a. spur track and he spoke to audiences in open fields. They sat on their horses and mules and in their farm wagons to listen. Some . brought their fam- ilies along and there were several hundred children, including babies, in their mothers’ arms, in each of these crowds. In his speech in Phoenix: Hill hall here tonight, Mr. Hughes devoted much of his attention to the protective tariff and to what he. termed the “new slavery.” qr.s “We have heard much of the new freedom,” he said. "It seems to have | i a surprising and deplorable range It has meant freedom to sacrifice the principles of the merit system, which | our opponents pledged themselves to enforce. . 2B Offices Are Created. “Thousands of offices. have been created with the provision ‘that they might be filled without reference to the requirements of the civil service act [t has meant freedom to embark B ", the government in novel enterprises ! ! in competition with private business as in the case of the government ship | ping bill. | “It has meant freedom to depart | from the principle of international law | to conduct a personal diplomacy to satisfy personal vindictiveness. It has; meant freedom to wage war, not to | rotect American rights, but to dis-| odge a disliked ruler and to leave our citizens and their property to anarchy and revolution, It has meant freedom to depart from our time-honored pol- icy of protecting American citizens |’ who take American enterprise abroad and to substitute a new policy which treats them as adyenturers, whose | flag is no longer a symbol of protec- tion of their just rights. Government by Holdup. “It means freedom to subvert the principles of government by yielding authority to the' demands of force. | In this rast phase instead of the new freedom we have the new slavery. What are the characteristics of this new slavery? It is the use of the forms of free institutions to tyran- ize over the public; to impose de- mands without inquiry as to their Jjustice. “The new slavery is government by holdup. It is terrorized government or the rule of politics assuming ter- | ror as an excuse for submission. The | executive is chosen to defend the ci- | tadel of constitutional government. Instead he surrenders it. Where shall this stop? Blows to Business. “These innovations are serious blows to American business. But it is said that the administration has aided business and strangely enough it refers to the anti-trust act, it is said that these laws stood in need of definition; that men spoke of them as of shackles, and the administra- tion seems to wish to create the im- | pression that it has unshackled busi- 1€S88. “A most extraordinary claim! They say that they have supplied the needed definition. They have done nothing of the sort. They have added 1 vague phrase to the law, the phrase | ‘unfair competition.” ' The content of Hundreds | and man ment an | peace. A STATEMENT OF FACTS this they have not defined. No phrase more indefinite was ever put into a statute. “Usually words are used in a stat- tute with some reference to their meaning in the law. But the phrase ‘unfair competition’ is evidently not used in its ordinary legal sense. That refers to the palming off of one man's goods as these of another through misleading descriptions, labels, car- tons, and the like. There were and are abundant remedies for that sort of things, as every well informed mer- chant knows. Even Lawyers Don't Know. “This phrase as used in the new law was evidently intended to have wider meaning than that. What is its meaning? No lawyer knows. It will have to be worked out through years of litigation and by the de- cisions of courts, for the federal trade commission cannot settle the legal meaning of the statute which con- fers its authority. “Yet the administration complac- ently speaks of aiding business by defining the evils aimed at by the anti-trust acts. ‘Not only does the federal trade commission act not define what it means by unfair competition, but it leaves the anti-trust act in full effect as belore.” “The federal trade commission act conludes as follows: “‘Nothing contained in this act shall be construed to prevent or interfere with the enforcement of the pro- visions of the anti-trust acts, or the act to regulate commerce, nor shall anything contained in the act be con- strued to alter, modify or repeal the said anti-trust acts, or the act to regulate commerce or any part or parts thereof. “That disposes of the claim of the administration that it has aided busi- ness by clarifying the anti-trust act.” At this point Mr. Hughes was in- terrupted and he made his statement concerning the Lusitania incident. “It has been said that the new freedom would. liberate great oppor- tunities. But what do we find? We find that it has beena cover, or rather, there has been a freedom to deviate from settled principles of interna- tional law in the conduct of a personal diplomacy to satisfy a personal vin- dictiveness. The powers of this great nation in diplomacy exercise great and well settled principles. When [ look at ‘the record in Mexico I am filled with Jdismay at what portends. It was not a question at all of whether Huerta should or should not have been recognized. The administration might have refused recognition if it thought that he did not have a stable government to maintain. But the ad- ministration was not content with that. The new freedom seemed to cover a freedom to wage a personal war upon a disliked ruler. I have read the instructions that were authorized to be given by the official spokesman of the administration. “It was in these terms as communi- cated to a foreign minister in Mexico, a minister theré of another country deeply concerned in our policy. The language of the authorized statcm:m‘ | was this: “‘Huerta will be put out, if he does ! not get out. The president-prefers that | this should: be done by domestic | means. if possible, but whatever | means-are necessary will. be resort- ed to. i “That was a threat of war. That in.my judgment, was an indefensible ‘threat’ of war, That led to our em- broilment fin actual war, for within a few days'.our. forces were sent to Mexico and we had ‘an actual battle at Vera Cruz. Now, we are met with the statement that to challenge the record of the administration is prac-” tically to say that one favored war, 1 believe we should consult the policies of peace. I believe in maintaining to Americans just rights, but I am opposed to waging war upon : “THE LIEUTENANT” continues to be the most popular hat of the season.

THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDA:, an individual to satisfy a dislike for the uses of the armed forces of the United States in maintaining Amer- ican rights, but to destroy the only government Mexico knew and leave our citizens and others to the rav- ages of anarchy and revolution. That is not a policy of peace. There was no mandate given to the administration to indulge in such a policy. The wide discretion that the arflniniltration has over matters of our diplomacy is sup- posed to be exercised in accordance with established principles. What is the established principle that should be followed? I think there are three principles which we should follow. I do not profess to know what the particular condition of our Mexican affairs will be in ¥ext March. I do rot l)rofess to be able to say what par- ticular steps will be needed to meet conditions. But I do profess to say that there are certain principles whicfl must be fully applied. “The first of these principles is this, that we will not meet with matters which do not concern us. Secondly, we shall not merely say that we will recognize and observe the rights of small states, but that we shall do what we profess to do and actually observe them. And the third is this: That in Mexico and else- where, while wo do not meddle with what does not concern us, while we intend to maintain respect for the rights of other states, small or great, we shall have it just simply under- stood that at all events, the {ives and property of American citizens will be protected. “The new {reedom seemed to cover a departure from a time-honored policy. It has always been the policy of this government to protect Am- erican citizens who are lawfully ex- ercising their just rights abroad. “We hear much in these days of the importance of expanding Ameri- can enterprise. We are told this is the opportunity of Americans to go abroad throughout the world serving | mankind. We are told we have a great duty to humanity to perform in foreign parts. The cornerstone of any policy which has in view the ex- pansion of, American enterprise in for- eign parts is the protection of Am- erican citizens who are lawfully an- gaged in enterprises abroad.

Hughes to- night, while speaking in Phenix hall, answered a man who asked him what he would have done in the Lusitania incident in a way that won him pro- longed applause. He had said during the course of his address: “The path of peace is the path of self respect, which maintains the digrity of our citizenship and ce- ments the friendship of all nations.” A voice interrupted the speaker, calling: “Justice Hughes, just a moment, please: permit a respectful interruption. What would you have done—(cries of “put him out!") “Please permit the question' to be ansy ered. | do not want anyone shut off from a comcteous question. Go on, sir Please ask your question.” (cries of “Go on you hoob!") A voice: "l ask, 1 trust respect- fully” (Cries of “put him out!") *Please let the question be asked. | desire this questina o be asked. Please ask it.” A voice: "1 ask you with all re- spect that | know, what you would have done, when the Lusitania was sunk—see if you can answer this." (Laughter and applause.) “1 will answer this—(Cheers)— No -, permit me to answer it—permit |n.e to answer ‘t.

This Simple Laxative A Household Necessity - Fekits Dr.Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin | Should Have a Place in Every Home Constipation, or inaction of th» bowels, a condition that near'y every- one experiences with more or less frequency, is the direct cause of much disease. When the bowels be- come clogged with refuse from the stomach, foul gases a-d poisons are enerated, and unless tie congestion s quickly relieved the system be- comes weakened and most susceptible to attack. Various remedies to relieve con- stipation are prescribed, but many of these contain cathartic or purgative agents that are harsh and viole 4 in their action and shock the system. The most effective remedy is the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. The Hon. John D. Kefs'er of Brandywine, .
