Cor. in Portland Journal: Mr. Hughes' speech of acceptance is the public confession of a candidate who is without an issue and without a pol icy. . Half of it is devoted in attack up on the foreign policy of Pdesident Wilson; but Mr. Hughes does not . say what he would have done that Mr. Wilson left undone, or what he would have left undone that Mr. Wilson did. A fourth of it is devoted to pre paredness and to censuring the presi dent for calling out the national guard. But here again Mr. Hughes refrains from telling the American people how he would have obtained i a larger measure of preparedness than the president has wrung from congress, or how he would have dealt with conditions on the Mexican bor der without calling out the national guard. Mr. Hughes' Mexican policy is to be one of firmness and consistency, through which alone we can pro mote an enduring friendship. But what form are the firmness and con sistency to, take? War? Interven tion? Candidates can talk about . firmness and consistency in foreign affairs, but presidents must deal in concrete matters. They must decide definitely, to do, this thing or that thing. They must not hesitate, even at the risk of making mistakes. In spite of Mr. Hughes' long and bitter indictment of the president's course in Mexico, he himself has nothing affirmative to offer. The Republican candidate follows the same prosecuting-attorney tactics in dealing with the president's Eu ropean policies. . ' . ' "A firm American policy" is the thing that was needed; but, again, wliat does Mr. Hughes mean by a "firm American policy?" Mr. Wilson has guided the country through a great crisis, through a period which Mr. Hughes himself describes as "perhaps more critical than any per iod since the Civil War." Without . surrendering a single American fight, he has kept the country out of war and compelled the most powerful mil itary government known to history to conform its military policies to Am erican demands. Now comes Mr. Hughes as the arch-critic of the pres ident to say that the president was all wrong in the way he did it, whatever tlv: results may be.. Would Mr. Hughes have gone to ar over the Lusitania, or would he have sought first to exhaust all the resources of diplomacy? . If he would have at first exhausted the re sources of diplomacy, in what respect would he have bandied the case more wisely and more patriotically than President Wilson handled it? Here again Mr. Hughes confesses by his silence that he is without a 'policy. ; Perhaps nothing is more character . istic of Mr. Hughes' speech than his treatment of alien conspiracies "We denounce all plots and conspiracies in t'le interest of any foreign nation,' and then he proceeds to hold the ad ministration responsible for them. "It was its duty to stop them" as if the administration had not secured doz- " ens of indictments and-a score of ' convictions. But there is one plot and conspir acy about which Mr. Hughes is dis creetly silent. We refer to the Ger man plot to make him president of the' United States because President : Wilson refused to permit the German . government to dictate the foreign pol " icy of the United States. Mr. Hughes' . speech will -be searched in vain for a solitary word, a solitary syllable, re- pudiating this infamous attempt of a foreign monarchy to control the poli tical affairs of the United States by . punishing a president who has offend ed it and rewarding a candidate who . tacitly invites the support of the hy , phenated. Mr. Hughes' "Dominant Americanism" halts when it cottlenv plates the political possibilities of the German vote. : Mr. Hughes'. speech is all sound and reverberation. There is no substance to it. - MISFITS If you would like to be filled with optimism go into the country and hear the wheat, oats and fruit yelling until their throats are blistered. Don't forget the clover too. It is the best for years, the $50 or $60 an acre kind, just for seed alone. Some frontier to Detroit when a $37,000 hold up can be successfully executed in the heart of the town. The blindpig battle reveals the cus sedness of the world. Don't throw your feet over Or. weather. Read of the 1000 deaths in Chicago in -a week from heat. Mr. Hughes is coming with his bundle of criticisms. Some difference between a drive in the country in France and a drive in Or. There a drive means thousands of deaths, here a good time seeing things. " Up-to-Date Minister. Jefferson Review: Rev. Car! Young has a collection of agates and jaspers which he found along the banks of the Santiam opposite Jeffer son. He is an expert judge of these stones and thinks he has some valu able ones in his collection, the worth of which cannot be determined, how ever, until they have been cut and polished. He says they are quite plentiful along the river and the grav el bars of the Santiam promise to become famous for their treasures, for on every bar along the stream small quantities of gold can be found. The Umpire. "That strike he calls is two feet wide An' .low besides. Of course I kicks You know I ain't no guy to ride Them umpires, if they is all hicks. I only says: 'You great big bum.
