What Would You Have DontT The People Have A Right To Know"
Republican Nomine It Aiked to De
clare If He Would Have Vetoed the
Bill With Certain Aaaurance of
Industrial Disaster.
So busy has been Charles E.
Hughes criticising the deeds of the
Wilson Administration that lie tins
hud little time, or bus purposely
evaded, telling the public wbut he
would have done had he been Presi
dent under similar clrcumstuuces.
Lately Mr. Hughes bus turned bis
attacks upon President Wilson's suc
cessful settlement of the crisis In the
railroad world by cuuslng to be
passed by Congress the Adainson
eight-hour hill. Mr. Hughes has char
uctciizcd this action as a "surren
der to force"; he Is "opposed to being
dictated to by any power ou earth
before the facts are known"; and he
would not act until he hud hud a "fulr
Investigation und C'uudld treatment."
Taking Issue with the Republican
cuudklate's attitude the New York
Times, In an edltorlul, ink:
"WHAT WOULD MIt. HUOHKS
HAVE DONE?
"Well, wbut way would Mr. Hughes
huve tuken?" continues the Times.
"Whut would he have done? Here
wns Mr. Wilson's position: The
brotherhood refused urbltrutlon, the
railroad presidents would not accepl
the settlement Mr. Wilson proposed,
granting the eight-hour standard duy
with provision for uu Impartial Inquiry
Into Its working. There wns no law
on the statute books to enforce urhl
trillion.
"The President knew, knew with
certulnty and beyond question, thut
he could not get such a law from the
Congress now In sesslou. The lure
and Inevitable alternative to hie ac
ceptance of the eight-hour standard
day measure was a strike, the sus
pension of railway service, freight and
passenger, all over the country, be
ginning on the morning of Sept. 4th.
WOULD HUGHES HAVE DONE IT?
"Mr. Hughes 'would not surrender
to anybody lu the country.' Then he
would have surrendered the country
to the disturbance, Immeasurable loss,
and peril of a strike. Would he, lu
fact, huve done thut? Had he been
President, confronted by thut sttuu
tlon, would Mr. Hughes luive brought
on a strike by refusing to sign Un
hid grunting a wage Increase? There
whs the strike lu plain sight, n few
hours nway, sure to come. Would Mr.
Hughes have Vetoed the bill? Ou the
contrary, would be not have done Just
wbut Mr. Wilson did, sign It?
"The Hepubllcuu candidate stands
for two things; 'Klrst, for the prin
ciple of fair, iinpnrliul, thorough, cnu
dlil, arbitration; und second, for
legislation on facts according to the
uceessltles of the case.' Mr. Wilson
stands for those two things and, much
more, has pledged himself to use all
hit influence to secure them.
"What more could Mr. Hughes do?
Would it tie too much to ask the Re
publican candidate to put a little com
mon fairness Into Ids speeches? Is
he afraid to t.'ll his audiences what
the ('resident actually did urge upon
Congress?
"As a true champion of arbitration,
President Wilson recommended that
arbitration judgments be made rec
ords of ii court of law, In order that
their Interpretation and enforcement
may not lie with the parties to the
dispute, but 'with an linpurtlul und
authoritative tribunal.' It was his
purpose In this reconunendution to
provide uguinst future emergencies,
to prevent the recurrence of such
dangers us then confronted him and
tlie country.
ADVICE TO RAILROADS.
"The people of the United States
are not going to he put off with tlie
misinformation as to what the Presi
dent did to avert a strike and to pre
vent the threat of future strikes. We
bave reason to believe that the full
revelation of whut he did, what he
tried t do, and what he nearly suc
ceeded Id doing In the White House
conferences would put such a face
upon the matter that Republican ef
forts to make uu issue of It would
full entirely Hat.
"Hut the people do know, for It was
before them In the President's address
to Congress, Ihut he proposed, not a
single emergency act, hut a broad
program of IcgMiitlon to meet n pub
lic need and permanently remove a
public duuger. It whs a program
which we are convinced tile rullronds
would be very wise to accept lu Its
euttrety.
"Certainly It seems to us that they
are 111 advised to pray for the elec
tion of Mr. Huglies, who, If we take
him at his word, would have brought
on the strike, with ull Its Irreparable
Injuries to the country's business and
peril for the country's peace."

Dayton Newt,
THE SINGING WORLD,
THE WHOLE EARTH IS QUIET AND AT REST; THEY BREAK FORTH
into singing. Isaiah.
I saw an old fellow, with one arm and lame,
With a bundle of papers to sell, but so game,
Why, in spile of his wrinkles of trouble and care,
And many a strand of snow-white in his hair,
His eyes twinkled brightly, he shifted his load,
And crying his papers went down the highroad.
He had seen better days, but he wasn't a shirk
Arid he sang at his work !
A linle child passed nte whose eyes seemed 10 tell
A tale out of torment and sorrow of hell;
Her wan cheeks, lot-getting how ruddy they'd been,
Were pale with the hardship of hunger, and thin;
She hurried to toil, she was earning her bread.
And she lifted her heart with a toss ot her head,
Forgetting the darkness of life and iis murk
And she sang at her work !
1 saw an old farmer bent over a plow,
With lite wrinkles of labor and age mi bis brow;
His voice bad grown wcA through the toil of the years,
hut his eyes shone with smiles, not with shadow and tears;
He yelled 10 his horses as lusty as youih,
And plowed up the field as if plowing up truth,
With nothing to harm him and nothing to irk
And he sang at his work !
I came by a mill where the spindles were roaring,
And many pale women by the huge looms were pouring,
And standing all day in their places to wind
The spools and the shuttles, for women must find
Some work at something to help in the strife
That keeps the red wolf from the doorways of life,
But ihese seemed as gay as sweet maids of the kirk
And they sang at their work !
Oh, this is the world of the singers, 1 say,
The singers of toil at the hardships of day,
That find in hard lubor the sweet of content.
That go to ibeir tasks with a double iiiient
Of toiling and slaving, if such things must be,
But keeping up heart and a sound bit of glee,
And looking at life with a quib and a quirk
And they sing at their work!

Voted for Suffrage; Hat
Hughes?" Asked One.
Wtsleril WiTllell who have hlld the
ballot equally with the men for seerul
years resent the interference of one of
the factions of sufl'niglsls and the at
tempt to turn the suffrage cause Into
an adjunct of the Republican party.
They believe they know bow to vote
without being told by women who
loner bail the vote; and thej refuse to
turn against ttie Democrats who tiavt
diuie so niih'ti for their cause iu their
respective states.
This attitude Is brought out clearly
In an Interview by Nlxola llreeley
Siiillli. nationally prominent as a
writer on tlie staff of the New York
Wurbl, with Mrs. Alexander Thomp
son, lieinocratlc National Conimlttee
iniin from Oregon, and Mrs. Theresa
M. i iu tin in of t'oeur d'Alene, Idaho.
"line Would think," observed Mrs.
Tlioitipsou to Miss Qreeley-Hiultb,
"thut If auy instruction iu suffrage
matters bud to be given It would come
from the Women who have won the
vote and do vote rather than from
Suffragists In the Hast who are still
disfranchised. I qui u young woinun,
but I have been through three ciun
pulgus for the vote In Oregon. Iu the

Aided by Democrats.
"We huve been voting only flue
years and we are still grateful to our
men. So, when the Congressional
Union sent speakers to Oregon to tell
us tu vote uguinst all Democrats we
luughed at them. Why, ut the lust
election they cumpulgiied again!
George E. Chamberlain, who Introduced
the first Suffrage bill lu Oregon and
who hud beeu the friend of the worn

fight.
"I agree with every word that Mrs
Thompson hus spoken," declared Mrs.
flruham. "The conditions lu my State
are the suiue us In Oregon, except that
we huve bud the Vote for twenty yeurs
and It was given to us without oui
having to tight for It. The Coiigres

for Suffrage. Has Charles E. Hughes
ever voted for Suffrage? Wilton has
done everything consistent with a be
lief In State rights, one of the funds
mental principles of Democracy. Suf
frage can never win as a partisan Issue-
Alienate the Democrats en masse
and you have kitted every chance 8uf
frage has."
Won by Wilton's Speech.
It Is uihuittfd by pructh'ally ull suf
fragists thut their cause hus beeu
helped greatly by the speech 1'resldciit
Wilson made before tlie convention uf
the National Woman's Huft'ruge Assucl
atloD ut Atlantic City recently, on Sept.
Nth. When the President told them
he hud "come here to tight with ynu"
the 4oo0 suffragists gathered lu Nixon's
Theatre arose and cheered him en
thusluslli'ully.
This pledee by the President led
Mrs. Currle Chuptnan Catt, president
of the association, to say:
"You touched our tieurts and won
our fealty when you said you had
come here to fight with us."
"The astonishing thing about this
movement," suld President Wilson, "Is
not that It has grown so slowly, hut
that It bus grown so rapidly.
I get a little impatient sometimes
about the discussion of tlie channels
Htid methods by which It Is to prevail,
It Is going to prevail, und that Is a
very superltcliil and Ignorant view of
It which attributes It to mere social
unrest. It Is not merely because the
women ure discontented, It Is because
the women have seen visions of duty,
anil that Is something which we not
only cannot resist, hut, If we be true
Aiiierlcuns, we do not wish to
resist,
"I have felt lis I sat here toulgbt the
wholesome contagion of the occualuu.
Almost every other time t tint I ever
visited Atlantic City I cume to light
somebody, t hurdly know how to con
duct myself when i huve not collie to
light somebody, but with somebody.
"I huve come to suggest, iiiuoug
other things, thut wheu the forces of
ualure ure steadily working and the
tide Is rising to meet the moon, you
ueed not be afraid that It will not
come to Its flood. We feel the tide;
we rejoice In the strength of It."
