MlDghes Points the Way
The speech of the Republican camli
i at for president nan a keynote
-speech lmk'fftl. Nut one person In the
jjreal audience at tbe Carnegie hall
meeting wus In doubt fur one moment
s to JtiKt what lio men nt by every
tldxig he K il'l
Ills iwI(lrN nns comprehensive.
nl, clear jiikI nil snlllck-iit for the oc
casion. Them can be no dispute uh fo
t his. Plainly Mr. Hughes In u mnii
who "knows what he wants when he
wants It," and It Is the opinion nf i
J J lieu) authorities who beard biiu ami
who have since ru:il his re murk a that
tie knows also how to it.
It was Incumbent upon the Itcpubll-
-ran candidate to conllne the wupe of
Ills remark to the limitations of the
occasion, but bis crushing a mi ly His of
the shortcoming of the present ad
ministration of the government Is
-merely nn earnest of what the tone
i flud tho contentH of Ills speeches will
: be when be gets on tlie'stump.
At Carnegie hall Mr. i Inches ad
verted to every general finest Inn that
Is apt to bo n serious Issue In the cam-
... ni(;ii and In language th.it will be
, -absolutely clear to every man or wo
man able to read be Hinted hi opin
ions, bis convictions and his purpose,
-wOn the stuinii he will argue l hone
tinlnts In detail. As an orator be Is
eloquent, his permiinillty attractive,
.and his marshaling of facts so co-
- ileal ve that he holds. his audience to
the end. lie makes It easy fur them
to follow hint, and his points are not
lost.
There was nothing equivocal, noth
ing apologetic In the Republican can
didate's speech of acceptance. I le
called a spado a spade, and the unani
mous opinion of those who beard him
was that be shot to the center and
rang the bell. The Republican cam
paign Is now open, and those who will
.peak and write and work fr the sue-,
4es of the Republican ticket can wish
tor no more adequate- campaign docu
ment, no more satisfactory statement
of issues than are found in the candl--date's
salutatory.
WHAT ONE BIG MAN
THINKS OF ANOTHER.
President W. H. P. F.unce of
Brown university la a pretty live
wire who keeps abreast of the
times, has keon powers of obser
vation and knows a good man
when he sees him. Here is what
he has to say about tho Repub
lican candidate for the presi
dency: "I have known Justice Hughes
irtimcteiy since we were stu
dents together at Brown and
have seen him a thousand times
at work and at play. No man of
our generation has a finer com
bination of character and Intel
tect. Absolutely fearless, unself
ish, loyal to American ideals, he
is worthy of a nation's trust,
"All his friends know that be
hind the dignity of bearing is a
rich fund of humor and good fel
lowship. Whether he is climbing
a mountain, reading novels, P'ayf
Ing with his children, resisting a
political lobby or delivering the
opinion of the supreme court, he
is ever the same rug god, demo
cratic, fair minded Amerjcan.
His varied experience has given
him wide horizon and sympa
thy with every aspect of Ameri
can if o.
"He possessos two qualities
rarely found togetherthe judi
cial temper and the capacity for
swift and resolute action. Un
dor his administration the fog
which now boscts mnny public '
questions would be doircd away.
"His penetrating m.nd face to
the hsart of any subject ho se
lects and strips off the irrelevant
at once. Such a mind is pecul
iarly needed amid the Intricate
prob'ema that now confront
Amencj.
"We need more thon good In
tentions. Wo need char vision,
sound judgment, strong will, un
hesitating douiaton. In short, we
neod Charles E. Hughos."

AH eyeii are turned on Washing
ton awaiting the final decision of
the administration as to the special
taxes to be used to make good the
treasury deficit. The democratic
senate caucus has voted greatly to
increase the Inheritance tax, but
this proposition meets with serious
opposition In many sections as in
heritances have always been looked
upon as peculiarly a source of reve
nue for the states themselves. There
!s no doubt whatever that the in
come tax will be increased, althotigl"
by how much is still a question. Th
senate plan fs to lowor the exemn

for -staple men and $3,000 for mar
led men, with increases of tho pre
rit rateg for the larger incomes. I'
also proposed to Impose snccla'

No one Is worrying much about the
fate of the manufacturers, hut
should the rate at which they are
laying off their employes be acceler
ated the result might be productive
of much suffering.

seqnence slock is In excel len: condi
tion. Corn and hops have made splen
did rrowth and while corn Is still
somewhat backward on account of
the cold weather earlier In the pea
son, it has Improved so m irh lately
that ft is expected a cood crop will
mature before (he fall frosts occur
Lice are reported In some hop
yards but they have not become suf
ficiently numerous to cause any
alarm anions the growers.
Early potatoes are plentiful nnd
the late crop Is In a healthy and
promising condition. Sucar beets are
growing well And the factory nt
Grants Pass will he radv to handle
the crop when It Is harvested.
A ffoo - i c ro p of pea rs I s be i n

Karly apples are plentiful In the mar
ket nnd the lata onea are making
which, although they have dropped
some, have not dropped enough to
Impair the yields as the trees were
too heavily loaded before the dropp
