vocated hut nothing saiil as to what, these rights are or
how to procure them.
It is easy to consult, last year's slock market and fell
how a fortune could have heeu made. If is another prob
lem fo crate a fortune from tomorrow's market. It. is easy
to review the past and point out mistakes afler a crisis has
been passed, but it is a different proposition to skillfully
pass a crisis of today or the future.
Criticism of the Mexican situation 1'nrnis the bulk of
Mr. liny-lies' speecth. The president is censured for not
recojiniziof; Ilucrta. Hut Mr. Hughes does not state what
should have been done or what he would have done if pres

Mr. Hughes wants national preparedness for war
but he does not fell how to secure it. He censures t he pres

he does not. say how the emergency should have been met.
Does he favor a I a rye standing army'? If so, how large'i
Does lie favor universal military service? What does In

Mr. Hughes acceptance speech is remarkable for it
hick of constructive surest ions a straddle of jcenera li
lies, the plea of a politician without an issue seeking office.
A BRITISH
'TMIK execution of Sir Rof'cr Casement adds another
serious blunder to (Jreaf Dritaiii's lon- list of cabinet
mistakes. I lie people ot Kni-land

teiieed to Ult mouths imprisonment.
iMiyland has lost her opportunitv to make the most of
I ryatt s unwarranted execution bv a (lerinan court, mat
fial. She has alieniated the
iluential party in America without reason.
( 'asenient 's crime was political and due to a mental con
dition. It was a. character of felony that inijjhf have been
punished by imprisonment, certainly magnanimity on the
part of a Mritish cabinet would not' have been a political
mistake at t his most critical period.
