Salem, Journal: Mr. Hughes does not discuss the pending railroad strike or say what he 'would do in the matter if he were president now. It may be safely predicted, however, that as soon as the controversy is set tled, no matter what the outcome, he will proceed to criticise the presi dent's method of handling it. That Is the position he takes regarding the late tilt with Germany,, which - tne president finally settled amicably without loss of life and property by war, and as to Mexico Hughes roasts the president to a turn for his policy without once saying what he would have done in the same circumstances. Neither does he say what he will do with Mexico in the future, which is more important than discussion of what has been done in the past. Hughes is certainly the priae scold of the age. o ' '' Another Slide. (By United Press) Washington. Sept. 1. Col.
