Do not let this disaster kDock
you out. Durinjj the Hundred
Thousand years, more or less, that
man has inhabited this earth, there
has been Thousands of worse dis
asters than this, and man survived,
and during the Million or more
years yet to come, in the history
of this earth, there will be many
more worse ones.
This freshet is only an incident
in the long process by which these
vast valleys have been scooped out,
and these alluvial bottoms and the
coastal plain built up. The water
made these bottoms,*the water took
them away; and the water, with
man’s intelligent help, will bring
them back. And not only that but
with intelligent management will
keep them there.
In the oldest and most intelligent
countries of Europe, the waters are
under almost complete control, and
these disasters seldom, if ever hap

is yet time to plant Turnips,
Rutabagas, Carrots, Beets, Pars

A National Disappointment.
Charlotte Observer.
The public 4s coming into an ap
preciation of the fact that there is
a difference between Mr. Hughes
the jurist, and Mr. Hughes the
candidate. On divesting himself
of the judicial ermine, Mr. Hughes
seemed to have undergone some
what of a transformation in char
acter. As an Associate Justice of
the United States Supreme Court
he appeared to be a well-poised
jurist and a public servant whose
official and personal conduct was
in keeping with the dignity of the
lofty position which he filled. But
as a candidate Mr. Hughes appears
to have developed no characteris
tic above that of the ordinary poli
tician who is out for the votes that
he may be able to round up for
himself and his party. Those who
have studied the public utterances
since his nomination must have
been struck with this developed
tendency of the former Associate
Justice. The vote it is possible
for women in the United States to
cast has been giving Candidate
Hughes thought. As a first bid,
he went the length permitted by
his party platform, but that did
not seem to go far enough. He
would make a second and a strong
er bid and ignoring the platform
restrictions, came out a declaration
favoring a constitutional amend
ment giving the women the right
to vote in every State. This dec
laration of the candidate has not
been having the desired effect. The
more thoughtful element of woman
suffragists are figuring upon the
almost impossible task of securing
the two-thirds vote necessary for
the passage of the amendment
through Congress and that Candi
date Hughes, in the classic langu
age of one of the suffrage advo
cates, would merely ‘‘send the
amendment to the political limbo.”
Mr. Hughes’ bid for thfd woman
vote was a transparent! political
dodge, so much so, that it promises
failure to attain the desired end.
Another evidence that Candidate
Hughes is out for the votes is his
manifest undertaking to prejudice
the labor element against the Dem
ocratic party. He is doing this
indirectly and inferentially, and
not in a manner the people would
associate with the dignity of a for
mer member of the Supreme Court
bench.
Candidate Hughes methods of
attacking the President’s foreign
policy and his dealings with the
Mexican situation are cast upon
the level of the cheap politician.
There is a distinct tinge of dema
gogy in his arraignment of Presi
dent Wilson for having changed
his policies to meet changed con
ditions as they might arise. Mr.
Hughes himself would have done
this if he had been President, or
he would have,involved the United
States in war not only with Europe,
but with Mexico. If Candidate
Hughes is sincere in his profes
sions that he would have acted
more drastically than Wilson has
done—and more drastic action
would have meant the plunging of
this country into a whirlwind of
war—then the people may thank
Providence that no such President
as Hughes would have made was
sent to the White House. He pro
claims that there is not a particle
of militaristic spirit in his system,
yet he shakes his fist and shouts
that if he is elected President he
will see “that American rights in
Mexico are respected.” What
would that mean except that he
would involve this country in war
with Mexico? Happily Mr Hughes
will scarcely have opportunity to
put any such mistaken policy into
effect. In the very improbable
event that he should be elected the
chances are that through the opera
tion of the wise policy originated
by President Wilson and pursued
by him, there will have been left
to Hughes no Mexipan problem to
solve. The country might as well
settle itself for a disappointment in
the standard which Mr. Hughes
has set for himself as a presidential
candidate. The people had ex
pected that Candidate Hughes
would appeal to the country as a
statesman. Instead of that he has
elected to appear before them in
the light of the every-day type of
politician, The people had reason
to expect better things of him.
The failure of Mr. Hughes to
measure up to the American ideal
of a presidential candidate might
be properly classed as a National
disappointment.
Senate Passes Child Labor Bill.
Washington, Aug. 8.—The Sen
ate late today passed the bill to
prevent interstate commerce in
products of child labor by a vote
of 52 to 12.
The measure which already had
passed the House, was brought to
a vote in the Senate upon the in
sistence of President Wilson after
the Democratic Senate caucus once
had decided to defer its considera
tion until next December.
bill’s provisions.
In order to expedite considera
tion of the measure in conference
the Senate committees were ap
pointed immediately after the final
vote was taken. The only amend
ment adopted would extend the
bill’s provisions to bar all products
of establishments employing child
ren from interstate commerce. The
House measure was directed only
against those on which child labor
actually had been employed.
The bill as passed would prohibit
interstate commerce in the product
of any mine or quarry in which
children under 16 years of age have
been employed or in the product of
any mill, cannery, workshop, fac
tory or manufacturing Establish
ment in which children between 14
and 16 have been employed more
than eight hours a day, more than
six days a week, earlier than
o’clock in the morning or later
than 7 o’clock in the evening,
would take effect one year after
enactment.
