TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8l, 1916V . TO2 TOON KIAMli . . Tea j PEACE 'and' HUGHES AND THE 8-HOCR LAW. , , , (By Savoyard.) The loftiest sort of eloquence is that which makes men think. Tom Corwln, of Ohio, was one of the most effective stump speakers our country erer produced, but he never made anybody think, ; His - power came from his tenlus as an actor. John C. Calhoun and Daniel Webster set men ' a-thinking. though neither was the captivating orator Henry Clay J was. On the platform Stephen A. Douglas was far superior to Abraham Lin coln; and he never tailed to get the greater ahare of the applause: but 'Lincoln always :.. managed to say something that set a lot of folks to thinking, and when a political speak. r has done that his ease is virtually gained. . . . . - . , Woodrow Wilson is the most pow erful public speaker of our day A profound thinker himself, he has - the rare gift to say things that set . others to thinking. As a' master of the English tongue he never had a superior in our hemisphere, not even in Edgar Allen Poe. wizard of Eng lish speech. Wilson is what Abraham '(.Lincoln would have been if Lincoln had been a collegiate and a. student. Lincoln read men; Wilson reads men . and toookav.-rv-'-v :;f-, -ry-r: 7- At Shadow Lawn on September 20 ' Mr. Wilson, in a public address, de livered himself of the following, that . Is Terr suggestive of Lincoln: "I want to suggest to you a means' of testing your fellowmen, - as to 7 V - whether they know what they are talking about or not. It Is not nee ... essary for a man to come -and argue . with me on obvious moral principle. but I am very much interested when he comes and argues as . to how be is going -to make it work,: And when men say. "We must not permit an or- ' ganization to neglect the interests of society. I say 'Amen, but -what I want to sit down and. discus with you Is, how are you going to prevent it? "The only thing worth talking a- bout in politics or any other sphere is the constructive Idea. 'How are you going to do it?' We all know, or at any rate we pretend to know. what we ought to do. but we do not all know how to do it. and the very difficult question which the American people is now face to face with, and which they are going to settle, is this; "How' are we going to organize '. our participation as a partner In the settlement of disputes between capi tal and labor which interrupt the life of the nation!' Invite all subscrib ers to suggest a method!"- . - Ill bet when Charles E. Hughes read that the next day he felt and looked Just like Stephen A. Douglas did 58 years before, when Abraham Lincoln put those searching practical questions before him at Free port. III. . Interpreted, it means: "What would you have done. Mr. Hughes?" It Is a question that comes to every- man small, well as great. It pestered - "Solomon, as he sat on a throne of iv ory, under a crown of jewels. In palace of cedars. It plagues the bum ble shepherd with his crook as ' he tends his gentle flock on- peaceful walk remote from public haunt. Of course it came to Shakespeare, who treated It thus: "If to do were as eaey as to know what were good -to da. chapels had been, churches and poor men's cottages princes palaces.' Hughes employs a heap of what To Care CoIJ Id One Day '- - " v tAX ATITH BROMO Onfnlne.

C I i I F. it better tha ort-aary j i i, rut caute orrwiuinwi not the lata' Tom Reed called Viang wige" to keep secret what he would do In any given case. - x 'Wt all know what Wilson has done and from that we can augur what he will do. -Nobody, not even himself, pretends to know what- Hughes would""dtTunder any circumstances whatever Hughes says that' WUson surrendered' to' the labor unions when he averted the railroad strike. Wilson answered that charge con clusively in hia great speech of Sep tember 23 that no conscientious vot er should neglect to read. ' 'But what of Mr. Hughes' surren der? In Wall Street there Is - good and bad. There are concerns engag ed in legitimate business, and they are" public benefactors. There are other concerns In Wall Street vicious fronrskin to marrow. .Gavin McNab. of California. ' characterizes - them this way: -They add two things to gether, call -them Ave, and sell them to the public for ten. : These are the gentry who got hold of the Hartford Kallroad a tew years ago. Their bus iness is to water railroad stocks. Their motto is "the public be damn ed.'.: Hughes has surrendered to those chaps. - He has not and he doe not v criticise them,' much ; less de nounce them. Their newspaper or gans are all for Hughes, and they hate Wilson with the hatred of fear. They are against the eight-hour law: Hughes rails against the eight-hour law. . They are for the repeal of the reserve banking system; Hughes st Milwaukee came out for the repeal of all the constructive work of the Wil son administration, of - which ' the Federal reserve banking system U not the leasts , , - r ,: - . . , . Hughes says the eight-hour law is a cowardly surrender. - Then what sort of a toward la the G. O. P. as H Is represented in the two nouses of Congress? In the House of Repre sentatives 154 Republicans voted on the passage of the - eight-hour law, and 70 of them voted for It, includ ing Joseph G. -Cannon. The very cream of the Republican party lined up with uncle Cannon to approve the act of the Democratic President - tn averting the strike. The Republicans in the Senate could have prevented this "surrender." Any one of them could have avoided It by a little bit of a filibuster. They did not do it because they were too cowardly to do It. All the cowardice that appear ed on that scene was located on the Republican side of the United States Senate September 1, HI 6. They had the will to bring on industrial chaos; they lacked the courage. As Addi son put it. they Were willing - to wound but a-f eared to strike tbe blow, and that is about -the meanest cowardice there is. . . Mr. Hughes says he'is for the 8 faour day for labor.- Then what is he howling about? The Adamsott law provides the eight-hour day. When Hughes says be is for the eight-hour day and denounces the Adamson law, he reminds me of that Kentucky county Judge who made an order au thorizing the construction of a bridge across a river and refused an order to open a roadway through the forest to the bridge. His Honor was for the bridge but against Its use, Hughes is for the eight-hour day but asalnst its practice. He is agin ev erything. , What the devil Is he for? Washington, October 21.

Wilson s residence . on West Airline avenue yesterday afternoon ; to extinguish a blaze, which had started in a small shed adjoining the kitchen. While the fire was burning fast It was soon extinguished.' .The damage will not exceed $25. Attending Presbytery. Rev. Dr. J. C.
