Hughes has a progressive typa of mind is of a piece with the myth that he mad New York a "great governor.'' Not even Reed Smoot is more iron in his standpat tism. During his terms as Chief Executive of the Empire State, Mr. Hughis vetoed every law i that sought to advance the public welfare. His crushing disapprovals the Two Cent passenger fare bill and the Coney Island 1 five cent fare bill killed a movement of infinite promise. His veto of a meas ure giving equal pay for equal work saved mpney for employers at the expense of thousands of drudg 'ng women His veto of a teachers' pension bill set back a decent reform, and his message urging the legislature to refuse to ratify the income tax amendment put him on record as a protector of the rich, no matter atwhat cost As an associate justice of the Supreme court, he sat in 1412 cases dissenting in 29 only. He con curred in the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust .de cision, adding millions to the wealth of the Dukes and the Rockefellers, and also writing the word ''reasonable" into the law. Time and again had Con gress refused to furnish predatory corporations with this loophole. He concurred in the Danbury Hatters' case, as sessing the triple penalty against a lot of aged wor kers. He wrote the opinion in the Minnesota rate cases, robbing.state railroad commissions of power, and giving raiJfioaHs hew and tremendous powers of extortion. He1 concurred in the Weyerhauser land case and" the Ufah land case, two infamous decisions a gainst the people and for the corporations. . Taft the great reactionary, appointed Hughes to the Supreme bench. Is anyone fool enough to be- ' Iieve that Taft did not know what he was getting? Behind him toay in his candidacy is every force of greed and rapacity, every Tory and every reactionary. Is it sensible to believe that they are buying a" pig in a poke? mi m r . .- ..... .

One of the most Interesting and significant reports which the 8tate Bureau of Community Service will 'sue 'at an early, date will be a compilation of figures showing the reduction of illiteracy in North Car olina since the 1910 Government census ss gleaned from reports from four counties.
