On Frl- Woodrow Wilson stands for cour age and achievement; Charles E. Hughes stands for evasion and crit icism. Nq citizen is In doubt cs to the President's position on all the great questions of the day. What he has done is a, matter of record; what he intends to do Is net forth in simple, understandable English. What citizen is able to say what Mr.' Hughes would have done or what he vrtll do? He quarrels meanly and persist ently with every one of the great laws that Woodrow Wilson has driven through. Currency and tir Iff legislation, Income and inheri tance taxes, workmen's compensa tion, shipping bill, rurol credits trade commission, and even the child labor law have been made the targets of his peevishness, but not once has he dared to say: "I will repeal them." He attacks Wilson's Mexican pol icy, but when "pressed for hia. own attitude, tskes refug in the coy statement: "I will be firm." He does not scrupie to make poli tical capital out of the Lusltanla's dead, but will not say what he him self would have done. Belgium figures in his speeches, but he declines' to state whether or not he would he would nave bad the United States protest. The Navy bill, Indorsed by Ad miral Dewey as the "best ever pass ed' and the Army Bill alike 're ceive his censure, but no human power is ab.e to drag a word TOm him with regard to what he con siders, "adequate" preparedness. His lips were sealed i dlliig the days when the Eight Hour bill was oefore congress. As leader of hTs party he sent no word to Republi can srnitors and representatives ask'ng them to vote against the measure, though a flUbus'ter could have depicted it. But before the Ink was dry on the President's signa ture he burst out in noisy denun ciation. Even so, he does not say: "I will repe-1 It." Never was the Issue so 'clear-cut between courage and cowardice, be tween honesty and hypecricy, be tween performance and protesta tion.
