; WITHOUT AN ISSUE.
. 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. "

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.
