Why Not Hughes? When the Republican National Convention opens at Chicago a week from Tuesday it will be confronted by one of the most difficult problems that such a gathering has ever undertaken to solve a divided party, with both candidates claiming a ma jority of the delegates. All eyes will be turned on the Coliseum next week and the developments will be of intense interest from one end of the country to the other. What the outcome of the convention will be not even the most accomplished political prophets are undertaking to pre dict. One thing is certain that the session will be a stormy one and that there is likely to be a lot of pulling and pushing before anything like harmony can be secured. Roosevelt's supporters are as serting that they now have a clear majority of the delegates and that the Colonel is beyond question the choice of the ma jority of Republicans. Their re cent victories in Ohio and New Jersey have strengthened their position to such an extent that impartial commentators are in clined to believe that Roosevelt's chances are considerably the stronger. Despite the recent reverses that have come to the Taft forces, his friends still insist that he has a sale majority and show no signs of weakening in their fight against the ex-President. Any one of several things may happen at the convention, but there is a growing feeling that unless Roosevelt sweeps every thing before him a deadlock is likely to result. In that case there are many reasons why a compro mise candidate should be consid ered and in this connection there is no stronger or more capable man than Justice Charles E Hughes. It is safe to say that a great proportion of the Republi can voters, however partisan tney may De to either latt or Roosevelt, would welcome the selection 01 Mr. tiughes as a compromise candidate. He has the qualities which would com mend him to both wings of the Republican party. Mr. Hughes might well be termed a conserv ative Progressive. He has Roosevelt's aggressiveness with out his headstrong impulsiveness. He has Taft's calm judgment and executive ability. He has had valuable experience as an executive and made a splendid record as governor of New York state. He can without doubt render much more valuable serv ice to the country in an executive rather than in a judicial position, and he is the stamp of man upon whom both wings of the party cou'.l unite. The Republican National Con vention has a Gordian knot to cut. If the party i3 to win at the November elections it must be united. It would be rash to predict how that knot will be cut or whether it will be cut at all. Rut if it is to be, and if the Grand Old Party is to be united, Charles E. Hughes is the one man who:e qualifications most pre-eminently fit him for the task. Credit to Governor West Governor West is entitled to a large share of the credit for having started work upon the Columbia River road. He has taken a strong personal interest in this splendid project and if it had not LHn for his efforts it is doubtful whether the $10,000 do nated by Mr. Renson would ever have been utilized. Governor West has shown himself to be a man of keen executive ability and of great public spirit. It has been he more than any other who has overcome the many dif ficulties which presented them selves in this undertaking. Citizens of Hood River county owe the governor a particular debt of gratitude for the reason that he has conscientously safe guarded the county's interests throughout and has seen to it that Hood River stands to gain all and to lose nothing. Especially is credit due Gover nor West for his part in insisting that the county should not sign the contract with the railroad whereby extensive liabilities would have been assumed for ac cidents of any kind which might occur as a result of the road be ing constructed over the com pany's right of way around the Shell Rock. When strong efforts were being made by the railroad to secure such an agreement. Governor West stepped into the breach and insisted that the county should assume no such liabilities, his position being that the state relinquished its old wa gon road to the railroad for the latter's right of way and that the road is morally and legally bound to permit the road's being re constructed. He declares that if the railroad takes exception to this procedure the issues must be tried out in the courts. Good For the Nerves Those who know declare that the best thing for nerves that do not run true, is gardening. This is highly recommended for the women who remain in the house most of the time. They make a prison of the house when they should and can in most cases get out and work in the flower or vegetable garden an hour or so each day. This will bring back the bloom of health to the pale and wan cheeks, and at the same time bring forth confidence in the future, that life is worth liv ing, and the activity of youth will be partially restored. With good health the world is always brighter and more cheerful. There is nothing more beneficial than outdoor exercise, particu larly for the person who is shut up in the home every hour of the 24.
