We wager his campaign managers wish it with a wishfulness beyond the range of temperate language. The promptness with which American common sense rejected the absurd idea that any President could have sent an overnight ulti- matum to Germany on the strength of an advertisement in the morn- ing newspapers was to be expected. But by what strange derailment of thought could a distinguished lawyer, jurist and candidate for tho highest office in the land have tried to get away with a bit of specious fustian which, taken seriously, could only convict him of deplorable ignorance of international] adjustments and diplomatic custom? Following an extended serios of vague utterances, none of them inspiring and most of them dull, the attempt to tell how he would have saved the Lusitania has practically closed the Hughes campaign @o far as interest in the candidate goes. As former Governor of the State of New York, as a former Jus- tice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Mr. Hughes’s ad- mirable and substantial record stands. But as a Presidential candidate even his friends cannot dodge the fact: He has proved the most progressive, cumulative disappointment in political history. . From now on the Republican campaign will be more than ever the campaign merely of @ party. Republican leaders have waited for the miracle to happen, but it has not happened. The party must perforce carry its candidate. But it will carry him as a burden and, we venture to say, breathe a sigh of relief on Nov. 7, when it turns him over to the voters of the country to be dealt with. Despite his highly-trained intellect, his great achievements and his unimpeachable character—nay, because of these—Mr. Hughes has reminded the nation that it takes something besides a great lawyer to make a good President. “To elect Mr. Hughes would be to put not a President but a Party in the White House. And that is not enough. While the nation must stil] be steadied through the most tumul- tuous times the world has ever seen, it can not suffice to have merely a Party in control. At a moment when prosperity is in full tide, when all classes, high and low, are clamoring for a share, it will not do to put only a} Party—and the Party of Privilege at that—in charge. The Republican candidate has dwindled, as a Presidential propo- sition, to a point where, politically, little is visible of him save his tag. Strange inducement to tempt the country to turn out at such atime a tried and tested Chief Executive! ee “Bvery one of you,” declared the Kaiser to his soldie: on the eastern front, “knows why you are risking your Ii The information, we take it, is still convincingly given when asked. ———-4 >.

Now is the time to forestall any such plan. It should be made plain at once that, notwithstanding the higher rates paid the dairy- men, New York will not tolerate any increase in the price of milk to consumers. The margin between the five cents per quart the farmer gets and the ten cents per quart the consumer pays is decidedly too great to justify any advance—at least until legislative inquiry has gone thor- oughly into the matter and reported on the cost of distributing and the margin of profit to the distributors. There is no reason why the big milk distributing concerns that already pay eight and eleven per cent. dividends on their capital stock should charge up every added expense of conducting their business to consumers in this city, Behind the Housewives’ Protective League which it has recently inaugurated, The Evening World stands for the protection of the New York public against needless and rapacious boosting of food prices. It is ready to fight at the first sign of an attempt to raise the retail price of milk. —_——<¢2—_——__—— Also we expect to see the shortened milk glasses in down town lunch rooms resume their normal size. , Hits From Sharp Wits Humor is sanity's dessert.—Macon, Short skirts compel the women to News. carry thelr money elsewhere.—Mem- 5 Oe ed phis Commereis A man rich in experience is quite . € 8 Akely to have no cash.--Deseret News.)

And, a week to Virginia. On the Rappahannock River, in Virginia, lived John Paul's elder brother, Willlain, who had emigrated, some years earlier, to America and who had been adopted by a planter named Jones. Here, while the brig was laid up fer repairs, John Paul found » warm welcome—and a good offer of employment. But the @ea was in his blood. and he declined the chance of making a better lving ashore. Yet afterward, for property reasons, he took Jones's last name aw his own and called himself "Jo! Paul Jones," or “Paul Jones.” Young Jones rose fast in his chosen profession. At eighteen he had earned @ sixth interest in a ship—King George's Packet—and was its first mate.
