' The Woodrow Wilson Independent League, with headquarters at 280 Madison avenue. New York City, has . offered a prize of $100 for the best answer in ISO words to the question "Why Have Hughes' Speeches Been So Disappointing?" . The reason of this invitation being sent out by the leagues is interesting Mr. Norman Hapgood, vice-chairman of the league, writing in the Inde pendent, made five suggestions about the reason and offered a year's sub scription to anybody who could make . a better -suggestion. The number of replies was much too great even to summarize ..in the magazine,, andl therefore the League undertook to handle the question itself. Mr. Hapgood's magazine article, re ferring to Mr. Hughes, said: "A newspaper in the west offers gold . prizes to anybody who can make him say anything comprehensible. Papers that once supported him have backed away as they waited vainly for some 'constductive stand. Yet in the past he showed intellect, . courage and dis tinction. What is the answer? . . It is rumored, tho I know noth ing of the truth of this rumor, that the president of the United States finds the explanation in the now fam ous phrase, "100 per cent candidate." 2. Another eminent gentleman, high in councils of state, told me he thought the cause lay further back: "When I was on the bench I was 100 per cent judge." In those six years, according to my friend, Mr. Hughes hardened into a state of mind in which he could not understand the American people. 3. A prominent editor, supporting Hughes, said to me: "It is good pol itics for him to talk a lot but not say anything. Votes that change, change to Wilson. Hughes' business is to rely on the fact that the republican vote is normally higher than the Dem ocratic, and play very safe." 4. An explanation that is at least . shrewd is offered by the Bellman, of Minneapolis. It says: "Someone has given the unfortunate gentleman What in the vernacular is known- as the wrong steer." It is shrewdly sus pected that Col. Roosevelt may be .responsible. That gentleman would probably not be utterly heartbroken if Mr. Hughes failed of election there by giving him a free field four years hence." 5. Another guess is this, and it is my own: Hughes is a good lawyer. He presents a case well.. But who can present a case well when the case has no foundation? It is a well known adage in the lr.w that if you have no case your safest course is to abuse the opposite side. If a reader can send me an explanation more plausible than any of those five, I will send him a year's subscription to the : Independent."- A few of the answers from the readers will give an idea of the gen eral trend of the explanations. Professor C. Alphonso Smith of the University of Virginia says: "The mathematician Todhunter once brought a railing accusation against Shakespeare because the great dra matist uses such expressions as "more beautiful," "most beautiful," etc. "Beautiful he condescendingly ex plained, 'means full of beauty," and 'dreadful' means full of dread; but if n thing is full, it can't be made any fuller.' The kind of mind exemplified here the analytic, circumscribed, vis ionless is the Hughes type. The con structive idealist whom he berated had the Wilson type. "Failure to re elect President Wilson would be a tragedy; the election of Mr. Hughes would be comedy." , A good many discussed the matter from the point of view of legal and judicial limitations; for example, J. A. Gunn, president of the Gould Balance Valve Co. of Kellogg, Iowa, says: "Hughes' training as supreme judge forced him to confine his decisions to the briefs prepared by the attorneys for the litigants and to the opinions of other courts. He was not compell ed to go outside of the arguments fur nished him for a new point of view Since he became a candidate he is following the same plan. He has ac cepted as his brief on the administra tion the arguments of Roosevelt rc garding diplomatic relations, includ ing the I.usitama matter; the argu ments of Senator Fall concerning Mexico; and the arguments of parti san politicians in Washington regard ing appointments. "That, to my mind is what its the matter with Hughes." John' Turner White, attorney ot Springfield, Mo, says: "He was simply over-estimated. He does not measure up to the require ments of his job. In his entire career he has never show any great qualities. In his conduct of the Insurance cases, he only had to collect and present evi dence. The issues were easy and sim ple." ' v "Every great lawyer wins his case on their merits, and seldom resorts to techniealties or irrelevant abuse. And every lawyer of experience, if for the plaintiff, knows he must win on the strength of his own case and not on the weakness of his adversary's case." A number emphasize the difference between having a case and not having one. Rev. Jos. Miller, of the Presbyter ian church in Huntsville, Tenn.. says: "I am reminded of a story I read only this week of a negro who was ar raigned before a Memphis judge. Af ter some examination, the judge ask ed him if he had anything to say. and he replied; 'No, Judge, I'sc jest gwine a trow myself on the ignorance of de co t. This is what Mr. Hughes seems to be doing but I don't thins the court he has to deal with now is as ignorant as he appears to think it is." "Ernest E. Haines of the depart ment of science in public schools in Roanoke, Ala., says: "Someone said, 'There is lots of difference between having something to say, and having to say something.' " Some of the letters point out the lack or ardor that must have come over the candidate. For instance. Mr. McLaurin, attorney in Dillon, S. C. says: - "The people are not interested in what he is saying, and therefore they are not enthusiastic and enthusiastic demonstration is absolutely essential lo successful campaigning. An indif ferent audience always chills a speak er, whether he be in the forum, the pulpit or on the stump." St. Francis Hotel is so home like pay for what you eat.

A case of 24 bottles- $2.75 with an allowance of 75c when case and empty bottles are returned MURPHY'S SEED STORE DRINK IT TO MISFITS The average death rate in the U. S. is given as 13.5 per thousand. Cities vary wonderfully. As a matctr of fact the record is unreliable and not trust worthy in a great many cases. These figures show that. 13 5 would make the average age of life about 74 years, whereas it is about forty. . Portland's record is between 8 and 9 in a thousand. 10 would make the average age in Portland 100 years. There's a mighty big screw loose in this death rate record. In the whole U. S. there must be an actual death rate of about 25 to the thousand to make things balance. Why all this tommy-rot ot giving cit ies records of as low as 8? A sign on Santiam street reads like this: SMALL FAMILY WANTED HERE. . Some of the papeis that come to the Dem. office make mighty good fly swatters. They always kill. How different from Hughes. He just swats without hitting. Glad he has started out on another tour. With Hughes in the field Mr. Wil son may well stay at home.
