P.-.. I
; (From the New York World.) j
3F, at Mr. Hughe remarked Saturday in Nebraska, he is not i
electioneering for war, what is he talking- about? Thej
country is at peace, but he has said daily for months that i
... it nr. .t 1 . . e I
I it is a cowardly peace. 10 assail trie adm msirauon iot us neu
I tralily is to assail it because it is not at war.
Practically every critic of the president has no grievance but
! peace. All who agree with Mr. Roosevelt and ex-Senator Ed-
I mimrlt wlin tpHpr in rn1 v tn Mr. Oinev aonears this morn
ing, are inclined to the belief that true neutrality should carry
us to the defense of Belgium even now. All who agree with the
German-American Alliance are making incessant complaints
because, in the regular course of business, we do not refuse to
sell food and munitions to the Entente powers. These policies
mean war. '
Mr. Hughes is soliciting the support of the various war parties
in this country because all of them are hostile to Mr. Wilson.
- ,,'! Jingoes who hate each other as fiercely as they hate the presi-
- dent and find in the speeches of Mr. Hughes common ground

I -t ' -i-.L.. i k j. i;L it If thfv can defeat neutral-
oi neutraiiiy anu mc; mw - j
ity at the polls next month, they will have taken a long step
toward war.
Every belligerent in Europe is interested in breaking down
American neutrality. Every fighting nation thinks it is entitled
i- k .u ..J ..;i.ir All of these neooles have
strong partisans in the United States. Mr. Hughes is the.r can
didate for the presidency, for in his success they see promise of
a change, and a change from neutrality can have but one mean
ing. That meaning is war, and they are willing to gamble up
on the direction the war may take.
How war will come or with whom they do not know, nor
does Mr. Hughes. Like him, they are prepared to take their
chances, the American people themselves being the mighty
pawns in a game as desperate as ever was played. This is why
pro-German and pro-British attack our neutrality in concert.
But there can be no war for the benefit of any alien interest
while the scales of neutrality are firmly held at Washington.
m. u..,h. .Wtiotteerinr for war because he is attempt-
a ! ing to turn his hearers against neutrality. It is neutrality that
I would fall with Mr. Wilson, and every warring nation would so
?! interpret the result In the interregnum of nearly four months

this country would be the scene ana uie odjcci oi uuca
intrigue and conspiracy, and probably of dovvright aggression.
When we repudiate neutrality we mane rcauy im wi ,
1 1 invite war. The fact that Mr. Hughes and the strange combina-
I tion supporting hhn have not yet agreed as to the nature of the
! war does not change the situation in the least. They are talking

SO WHY DO THEY COMPLAIN?
vf BSERVING that the Gold
en Special was not re
ceived by western wom
en with overmuch gladness a
New York paper reproachful
ly remarks:
"The west is not treating the
Butterfly Hughes Campaign
j Train as respectfully as the fi
nancial rating of its backers
might suggest in the case of
anv social entertainment."
i That may be true but our
women of the Pacific have
been no more severe in this
matter than would be the Oli
phants, the Morgans, Whit
ncys and Vanderbilts were we
to send a special train to Fifth ,
Avenue to tell the Gotham 400
i how to vote.
