WHAT WOULD HUGHES DO?
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.
