Charles Evans Hughes has spent two very de- lightful days among the residents of the most fruitful region in all the world. He’has seén the | soil from which springs a never-ending succession of crops that bring a steady stream of wealth to 2l Nebraska. He-has tome irto close contact with the men who till those farms, and garner and | market those crops. He has spoken to them plainly, and they have cheered him in reply. It will be hard to say on which side the most in- tense interest developed, but it certainly was a memorable experience for both Hughes and the farmer,” The sincerity and candor of one and the unrestrained approval of the other shows that both sides felt the sympathy that makes for ac- cord of pyrpose and sentiment. To these men Mr. Hughes spoke of America’s dignity and im- portance as a nation, of the compréhensive na- ture of our ‘ideals, and the integrity of our citi- zenship, to preserve which is the first duty of the government and the citizens alike. He spoke as a representative of a people and not of a class; he showed his knowledge of the farmers’ problems and understandingly pointed out how their neg- lected interests may better be served. Above all, he impressed upon them the quality of devotion 3: country which rises above party or selfish in- rest, and which regards patriotism as the Srst and highest duty of the citizen. ) Mr. Hughes has met the farmers of a large section of Nebraska face to face, and there is no question as to the mutual regard that is developed as a result. Nor is there longer doubt as to the verdict that is to be rendered at the polls in Nos vember, Allies’ Answer to Mail Protest. The long delayed reply of Great Britain and France to the note sent from Washington on May 24 last, protesting agaifst the interception of mails between neutrals, is in effect a square-toed refusal to desist from the practice denounced by our government as lawless. In language politely formal the note, which is transmitted jointly by the governments of Great Britain and France, in- sists upon the right and declares the intention of belligerents to open and examine letters passing between dwellers in neptral countries, and to de- términe if the commudications be such as should be permitted. In plain terms the censorship has been made world-wide, and the only escape from it will be for neutrals to remain at home, “ 4The positive defense of the attitude o# the THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, Wilson and Labor Theodore Roosevelt: | Extract from a Speech Delivered at Wilkesbarre,. Pa, on Saturday, October 14. Labor leaders who are shortsighted may at the moment get from a man in public office who is not actuated by justice, more than from a man who is actuated by justice. But the laboring peo- | ch as a whole cannot afford to accept such gains. f unjust legislaion is given them for improper reasons, then un}:st legislation against them may be enacted for improper reasons.. More than any other peogle in the country the wageworkers | should insist on just and fair action. There is grave reason to believe that in the course Presi- dent Wilson has followed he did violence to his own real convictions. Until he became.a candi- date for office, he was a bitter, ungenerous and often unjust critic,of labor unions. I have be- fore me speeches and letters of his made and written in 1905, 1907 and 1909, in which Mr. Wil- son says among other things that “labor 'unions drag the highest man down to the level of the lowest,” and in speaking of the capitalistic class, he says_that “there is another equally formidable enemy and it is that class formed by the labor leaders of this country,” and again “I am-a fierce partisan of the.open shop,” and again “The usual standard of the employe in our day is to give as little as he can for his wages. Labor is standard- ized by trade unions and this is the standard to which it is made to conform. I need not point out how economically disastrous such regulation of labor is. Our economic supremacy may be lost because the country grows more and more full of unprofiitable servants.” These were the utter- ances of Mr. Wilson when he was president of a university and had neither fear of nor desire to profit by the labor vote. In Mr. Wilson's “His- tory of the American People” he explicitly stated” that the. Chinese ought not to be excluded from this country because it is better to have them here than it is to have the immigrants we now get from Europe. His words were: “The Chinese are more to be desired as workmen than most of the coarse crew that come crowding in every- where at the eastern ports.” 'Now he turns round and says “Our gates must be kept open” to those whom he thus denominateda “coarse crew.” Since he went into politics he has again and again, in- cessantly and continuously, reversed himself on what he Had professed to be his deepest convic- tions priof to entering politics, and in each case the announced change of conviction agreed with what at the moment seemed to be his political interest. If it is alleged that President Wilson has been \actuated only by principle in connection with the Adamson law, then I ask why he has failed to apply the same principle to the railway postal crerks, where he has full power. Estimating six days to the week, these gostal clerks, operating between New York and Pittsburgh, are required to run 205 miles per day (for ‘the present ad- ministration has reduced the number of crews Allies on this question is unequivocal rotice to neutrals that they are to be granted just such rights as may be compatible with the war plans of the belligerents who control the seas and no more. The admission that England and France accept the principle contended for by the United States, but differ with us as to its application, is a sardonic way of ‘telling us that just at present they are in position to enforce their oversight of all our correspondence of whatever kind or nature with the world outside, and propose to do if. Traffic between the neutral countries of Europe and the United States is to be at the pleasure of the belligerents. International law is to be strictly observed, with each of the warring parties using its own advantage as a basis for interpretation of the law. V » No intimation is had from Washington as to what will follow the reception of this note, which it be disappointing to all. In May our govern- mm Yemianded that the Allies desist from their Mawless pract In October they declare they will ‘persist. How will this issue be met? 1 . Straining Our Neutrality. ‘Action reported to have been taken by a com- mittee ’f Greeks in New York comes dangerously near to being a violation of United States neu- trality. This committee calls on all'Greeks now domiciled in the United States, said to number 300,000, to join ithe Venizelos party. As Venizelos is in effect leading a revolt against the established government of his country, and for the purposé of carrying on war against nations with whom the United States is at peace, the step said to have been taken amourits to raising forces for the aid of a belligerent, 'This is unneutral in the highest degree, Our government can not prevent the Greeks living here from joining one or the other of the factions that now seek to divide thejr native land, but it should prevent any activity on part of either that amounts to carrying on propaganda. The New York committee deserves to be promptly checked, before its activity involves the United States, | " : EE——— b | Running on His Record. The World-Herald rushes to defend the rec- ord of Senator Hitchcock in the last three years, and quotes from “Tom” Marshall and Ollie James to prove that our democratic senator is needed in Washington. He certainly is, by the demo- crats, who have always been able to rely on him when a vote was needed to push over a party measure, and who could equally depend upon h‘m to be absent when his vote might count against them. In citing the record made by the senator, the World-Herald overlooks these facts, and some other small items, It fails to tell that the democratic senator from Nebraska voted for the Underwood tariff law, that took the protec- tion off wheat and cotn and sugar and other of/| Nebraska's products, and retained it on cotton and gpat's wool and such other commodities as the “solid south” is concerned in. To be sure, he voted to restore the duty on sugar, when the democrats discovered what a serious blunder they had made, and he may be depended upon to vote | to take it off again, if it be so recommended by the party’s caucus. A i X As a matter of fact, the fecord of the senate for the, last six years shows that Gilbert M. ,000 | Hitchcock missed voting 523 times out of a total year. The average yield|| of 1,199 votes taken. In other words, his lapses amount to almost one-half.. The times he did vote he was held strictly in line by his party's secret caucus, registering on the flopr of the sen- ate decisions reached behind closed doors, and under the domination of the southern oligarchy. . 'His record is the one thing on which the sen- ator has earned what the voters of Nebraska will present him—his retirement. Smhem—— War has so cheapened human life abroad that militarists now speak of the “‘annual crops” of boys reaching military age with no more feeling than crops of field products inspire. The human factor and the food factor, in the eyes of mon- archs, are on a common level, and one is sacrificed as readily as the other to conserve monarchial ends. — National Guardsmen on the border are excus- able for worrying about the homecoming. To be deprived of the felicity of viewing a presidential campaign at, short range is one of the cruelest sacrifices duty exacts, et from six to five), whereas the present trainmen’s agreement requires only 155 miles per day, which is to be reduced still further by the Adamson taw. The only possible explanation of Mr. Wilson’s action in one case and inaction in the other is +hat only 400 men are affected in that case where the government has full control of the hours of labor, whereas 400,000 men are supposed to be affected by the Adamson bill. Americans in Mexico ‘Washington Post: | The tragic story of Chamal deserves a separate chapter in the history of American foreign rela- tions. Chamal is a pleasant valley in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico, near where the one hun- dredth meredian crosses the tropic of cancer. An American discovered its possibilities, and, obtain- ing possession in the closing years of the last century, began to dilpo‘s&o( it in small parcels to American colonists. ‘Making use of the Diaz propaganda then flooding this country and of the enthusiastic reports of American consular agents in Mexico, he had little difficulty in exciting the interest of substantial American farmers imbued with the old pioneer spirit, so that by 1910 more than 1,100 Americans had settled upon the land and developed it to the point of favorable com- parison with similar undertakings in the United States. Then came the revolution, At first the colonists su?;red comrlratively little inconvenience except'from the lack of a market and from occasional exactions by passing troopers. 'Gradually conditions grew worse, how- ever, and the future looked so Black that many of them drifted away to the United States, leaving their property in charge of more adventurous neighbors. After the Vera Cruz incident and its reflex at Tampico their lives were endangered, and most of them fled the country, leaving what they were unable to carry to the mercy of the bandits, who were then begifining to infest the country. & Rogbed and abused by federalists, Villlistds, Huertistas and Carranzistas, following in rapid and alternating succession, the colony was so far depleted that in May of this year only /135 per- sons remained, of whom an even 100 were women and children. Following the invasion of Mexico by United States troops,'and especially after Parral, the attitude of the natives toward them became so smbitterdd that these few gathered up what arms and supplies they could and went up into the mountains to the west, where they in- trenched themselves, warding off occasional at- tacks by bands of stragglers from the Carranza army. There they remained until July 24. At this time, 'after numerous appeals, secretly and circuitously conveyed to our government rep- resentatives, one of the border consuls obtained permission to send a special agent to the relief of the colonists. During thirty days thereafter they returned in small parties to the border, debili- tated, travel-stained and weary, penniless and stripped of every possession. Thence they were scattered about the country, dependent upon rela- tives and strangers. So much for the protection afforded by the American government to its citizens abroad! ' Mr. Lovett’s Position t. Louls Globe-Democrat The announcement of Robert S. Lovett, presi- dent of the Union Pacific, thatthe will support Mr. Wilson for re-election might cause some aston- ishment, but for the reasons he gives, when ana- lyzed in the light of Mr. Lovett's antecedents, It should be recalled that Mr. Lovett is a lawyer, bofn and educated in Texas and that he has been a democrat all his life. Mr, Lovett professes to be resentful about the Adamson act, but he finds that outweighed by other considerations, It is not improbable that Mr. Lovett recognizes that the Adamson act is an invalid measure and that if valid it would supersede the railway schedules, so what the railways might have to pay extra to freight trainmen they would save on passenger trainmen. In behalf of Mr, Wilson he recalls how he used the prestige of his office to influence the. Interstate Commerce commission to grant an in- crease of railway rates, badk when times were so psychologically bad. But the old Texas lawyer's antecedents creep out in his reference to the tariff. He charges the republicans with having revised the tariff upward after promising to revise it downward. e is | wrong as to both statements. A revision on the . basis of the difference of cost of production at | home and abroad was promised, but the tariff was revised downward, false estimates while it was still a mere paper tariff to the contrary notwith- standing. The reduction in duties op all imports for the %m thirty-five months of the Payne tariff, compared with the twelve years of the Dingley taritf, was 21 per cent, according to treasury fig- ures. Mr. Lovett's defense of the Underwood tariff affords another measure of his judgment and information on such subjects. That tariff was paralyzing industries and throwing millions out of employment, when the war brought a check to its normal operations, Everybody who I can remember for two yw;ud a half knows this to be a fact. 1916.

Bepresentative Government or Autocracy. 8llver Creek, Neb., Oct. 13—To the Editor of The Bee: If one would un- derstand President -~ Wilson's utter- ances (very many of them are of the sophomoric order, and Wilson prob- ably don’t understand them himself), he must “interpret” them—to use a Wilsonism—in the light of the fact that he considers, and knows,' him- self to be a great autocrat, having ab- solute power—a big boss, in common phrase—but is too modest to say so. ‘To {llustrate this from his .speech of October 7 at Long Branch: “You know that it (the democratic party) is united as never before, and you know that there is no conflict of counsel within its ranks.” And with the above rule in view, what does that mean? Simply this, that there are no conflicts within the ranks of the democratic party for the reason that it lets Wilson do all the counseling and follows him like a poodle dog at the end of a string, or cringes before: him like a measly cur under {ts master's lash. (Please take note that this is no figure of speech. but a plain statement of actual fact.) Again this from the same speech: “Some very interesting things have happened in the democratic party in the last three years and a half. When 1 went to Washington T went with certain men in my mind who had long been inflyential in the counsels of con- gress and who, 1 was told, were re- actionaries, men, I mean, in the demeo- cratic ranks, And I want to say for these men that no wheelhorse in har- ness ever pulled harded than they did in the direction of the party's pro- gram of progress. So that I can tes- tify that back of me as leader of the party there {8 an organized, enthusi- astic team that s ready to do team work and obey every signal.” “The party's program!” And who made that program? “Why, I, me, Woodrow Wilson, Who else should make it?" says Woodrow Wilson, “I am the democratic party.” “I can testify that back of me as leader of the party there is an organ- | ized enthusiastic team that is ready to do team work and obey every signal.” Do you hear that, you free born American citizen; do your hear the boss talk? Obey every signal. Yes, do what Wilson commands to be done, as in the case of the repeal of the tolls clause of the Panama act; the senate in reversing itself in the mat- ’ ter of the child labor bill, the Adam son strike measure, and all other ad ministration measures. And who is it that commands this congress of ours that we have fondly considered to be a great, independent body of legislators voicing the will of 100,000,000 people—the congress of Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Zach Chand ler, Ben Wade, Stephen A. Dougla: Charles Sumner, Willlam H. Sewar 0. P. Morton, James G. Blaine, and scores of other illustrious Americans? It is not the president of the United States—he would have no right to command them—but it is a greate than the president, namely Woodrow Wilson, the “leader” of the democratic party. And so the really great, overshad owing question in this campalgn is, or ought to be, this: “Shall we elect ‘leadef—Woodrow Wilson—to domi- nate congress and the whole country with ' autocratic, usurped power;, or shall we elect a president—Charle E. Hughes—to serve the people their chief magistrate, himself sub- ject always to the constitution and the law?” CHARLES WOOSTER. e —— SUNNY GEMS.
