EM-TEES
TJIK people "want deeds not words," said .Mr. .Ungues
some time atro. We've lieen waitintr to hear what kind
of deeds he has in mind. Does lie mean the kind of deeds
takiiifr plaee around Verdun
The other day the Mavarian division refused to deliver
further attacks and it was ordered that every tenth man
in the division lie shot, and this would have been done, had
the Bavarian khitf not interfered.
Before and around Verdun half a million men have been
killed and maimed in the past, four months, and that is hut
a small part of the irand total lost in the great J'luropean
arena of deeds.
About two years ago a young man and his wife, num
bers of the Austrian royal family were murdered by a
I'anatie. The Austrian government, made, demands upon
Serbia. Serbia wanted to discuss these demands, claim
ing they were unjust and unreasonable. But the Emper
or of Austria wanted DKKDS NOT YVOBDS. The matter
was taken up with his all v, the lOmperor of (lerinany and
he too AVANTKD BKUUS NOT WORDS.
Well (lod knows they have given the world deeds in
stead of words in such horrible abundance as to make hu
manity regret its existence.
When thousands of men are laid lifeless in a single
charge we have deeds. When troop-ships are toi-pedoed
and a thousand young men are sent to the bottom, we
note a noble deed. When airships drop shells that kill in
nocent women and children we count a valiant deed. When
the Armenians are slaughtered by the hundred thousands
the multitude of heroic, deeds confuses our computation.
Mr. Hughes taking his cue from the comic papers want
ed to say that people are tired of the president's notes
and watchful waiting. What is the alternative deeds he
wants if it is not war?
A hundred men have been killed in Mexico. Mr. Hughes
would send an army down and probably ten thousand of
our soldiers would be killed before it was ended. Would
Mr. Hughes be in the front rank? Would he risk being
shot' Would he give us deeds or words?
Mr. Hughes would if called upon, probably make a
speech presenting a flag to one of the regiments starting
for the front, and that would be the end of his service, ex
cept perhaps he might send a substitute.
Mr. Hughes is of that class that looks upon soldiers
and the class of men that such as he cajole into doing the
fighting in time of war, as a different kind of animal,
whose business is to kill and get killed whenever the elect
of the land decide they should.
Mr. Hearst wants deeds instead of words in Mexico.
One can understand Mr. Hearst's attitude. He has mines
and a half million acres, and would like to get more mines
and land. But Mr. Hughes has no property in Mexico.
It is a ruling principle of all aristocratic governments
that whenever the artistoerats want to plunder another
country, it is the duty of the common people to go to war
for that purpose. I f Mr. Hearst were emperor of this coun
try, undoubtedly he would send us all down there to fight
till his ranch boundaries were extended from the Bio
Bio Grande to the Panama canal.
But with Mr. Hughes the case .should present a differ
ent aspect. A candidate for president should not desire
to plunge the people in a war simply because Mr. Hearst
has other properly besides his Mexican investments, to
wn: a large number ol newspapers and periodicals of
general circulation among the voters of the United States.
The people want deeds not, words. Therefore they will
again elect Wood row Wilson, for his administration is re
plete with more deeds than any administration of the past
fifty years. And they are deeds of construction not
deeds of destruction.
HUGHES, THE
Ity- llasll M. Manly.
(Xoted Kcunoinlc and Political Kx-
perl).
WASHINGTON. July 31. What Is 1
the attitude of Charles 10. Hughes on
tile great economic ami social ques
tiiuis that determine the welfare of
tile American nation and Hie liber
ties of Hie citizens of America?
Since his nomination Hughes has
made a number of public statements,
but except for a clear-cut endorse
ment of a high protective tariff and '
sunie very indefinite statements re-j
carding the dcslralilllty of general!
welfare legislation, lie has confined
himself to the veriiu exposition of
his " Americani;.'..''
This question of his real attitude
is tho one to which aliovo all others
the American people should have an
acciiite unbiased answer. Not only
is tills the most Important campaign
since tho days of l.inioln, hut there
is an oven more important reason
why, in the case of Hughes, the exact
truth Is vital.
Tho American people have, at the
urgent insistence of Theodore Koosc
vell, already chosen one president.
William Howard Tail, from the
federal bench and later overwhelm
ingly repudiated him for his reac
tionary subserviency to big business.
They are now asked, again by Knose
velt, to choose another president
from the fedora! bench. The itues
tiou must, Ibeiefore, tin asked--ls
Hughes another Tuft?
I'ortunaicly the answer to this
qurstlii can he given, free from all
Idas, hy an analysis of 11 utiles'
record as a Justice ef tho I'nitcl
Stale supreme court. This Is the lust
possible test, for daring (lie six years
since Hughes was appointed to the
supreme court by Tall, nearly every
E
SPHINX OF POLITICS
important economic and social iiios-
Hon has had to ho considered, cither
directly or Indirectly by this court.
The accuracy and' validity of tills
test Is upparcut from the case of
Taft. If tile American people had
analyzed Taft's decisions as a federal
judge, exalting the rights or property
al'ove human rights, instead of ac
cepting the encomiums of Roosevelt
upon Taft as tho greatest progres
sive, thero can be Utile doubt that
tbero would have been no Payne
Aldrich tariff and no Unllinger
scandal.
In making tills analysis of Hughes'
record on t lie supreme court, I have
taken every case in which he de
livered tho opinion of the court or
dissented, all of the cases in which he
concurred with the majority of the
court against the dissenting opinion,
nail the most important cases in
which lie participated in the unani
mous opinion of the court. Alto
Ret he-, 219 cases are Involved, of
which Hughes personally wrote
either majority or minority opinions
ill MS.
In these rases his opinions on
monopolies, labor, public utilities,
railroad rates, public lands, and all
the other big questions about which
the'pcople have been In conflict with
privilege, are clearly revealed. They
are the true index to his views, and
must tiver-rldo any statements of
policy, which he may make In the
ELL-ANS
Absolutely Removes
Indige'stion. One package
proves it 23c at all druggists.
What do these decisions show?
They show that
During his entire six years on the
supreme bench, Hughes dissented
from the majority of tho court 29
times, out of tho HI 2 opinions
handed down during that period.
Thus, In 97 cases out of 100 ho stood
on tho platform with the other Jus
tices. In four cases he wrote his own
dissenting opinion. In tho other
hundreds of casos heelther went with
the majority or concurred in tho dis
sent of some other Justice.
- In the cases In which he handed
down the opinion of the majority of
tho court, show him In a somewhat
more progressive light. They show
him as a firm supporter of pure food
legislation, a strong supporter of
federal regulation, a constant foe of
monopoly control through price-rlz-ing,
and a friend of state legisla
tion In behalf of women and chil
dren. On tho other hand, there are
numerous cases, as I will show in
detail in a later article, where he
concurred with the majority of the
court.
You will he interesto' to know
about the following:
Wliere did Hughes stand In tho
Danbury Hatters' case? Where did
Hughes stand In the case of tho big
western railroads against the set
tlers? Where tlfd Hughes stand In
the Standard Oil case? Whore did
Hughes stand in the American To
bacco Trust case?
