HAWLEY CHALLENGED MARK WEATHER FORT), who, unsolicited, received the nomination for congress of tin democratic and prohibition parties, has challenged Mr. Hawley to a joint debate at Medford next week upon Wilson policies and the irewers amendment. It is not likely that Mr. llawlcy will accept he not only hits a poor cause to defend, but is not noted for political courageousness. Mr. J law-ley cuts rather a pitiable ligure in this cam paign, lie advoeatetl the disposal or tile J. & U. gram lands according to the railroad program, until tardily forced to support his colleagues and the Chamberlain bill. lie voted lor much ot the Wilson legislation, now so roundly denounced by Mr. Hughes and his party, and has not the courage to dc tend Ins actions. M r. Hawley voted for the eight-hour railroad law along with sixty-nine other republican members of congress. In this he voted rightly. 15ut Mr. Hughes says that this was "cowardly" and Mr. Roosevelt says it was "infamous." Does M r. Hawley stand bv his vote and with President Wil son or does he stand with his party against it? Mr. Hawley voted for the income tax law, rural credits law, child labor law and Oregon appropriations all of which Mr. Hughes said must be "undone." He helped enact this Wilson legislation that Messrs. Hughes and Roosevelt so strongly condemn. Does Mr. Hawley stand by his vote and with President Wilson, or does he stand with his party against it? Mr. llawlcy in his campaign speeches devotes himself to the threadbare protective, tarilt and the .Mexican situa tion. Not even hard times exist as an excuse for tariff talk and a non-partisan tariff commission has been created to take tint tariff out of politics and place it on a business basis. And as to Mexico the same situation existed under President Tal't. If Mr. Hawley wanted intervention, why did he not, advocate it in congress? He has had six years to do it and been silent. . What did Mr. Hawley ever advocate in congress, or what legislation did lie ever secure, outside ot a tew pen sion and pork bills? The halls of congress never resound with his oratory no national legislation bears his name. A standpatter from a progressive district, now out of tune with his party, as well as his constituency, the tirst congressional district has nothing to gain by the re-election of Mr. Hawley, and much to lose.

The Winston-Sn loin ( N. " .lout mil. HAD Hughes been president on the day the Lusitania was sunk he would have done nothing about it, for the very simple reason that if he had been president on that day, the Lusitama would not have been sunk. Whv not ? You ask ? Because Hughes was president and a man appointed by him was secretary ot state. What is our authority for such a ridiculous statement, you ask? Candidate Hughes. Listen At Louisville, while the "hundred per cent candidate' was speaking a man in the audience asked this question "1 ask you, with all respect, Mr. Hughes, what you would have done had you been president when the Lusi tania was sunk?" This was what Hughes said: . "Sir, 1 would have had the Btnto department, at the very beginning of the administration so equipped as to command tho respect of the world. Second, 1 would havo so conducted affairs In Moxlco as to show that our words meant pence and good will, and the protoctlou at all events of the IIvch and property of American citizens'. And next, when 1 said strict accountability, every nation would have known that that was meant; nnd further, when notice was published with respect to the ac tion threatened, 1 would have made It known in terms uneqttivocable and unmistakable, that we should not tolerate a continuance of friendly rela tions through the ordiunry diplomatic channels If that action were taken. "And the l.usttnnln, sir, would never have been Blink." And there you have it. Yerv simple. But Charles Evasion Hughes took gootl care not to answer the question isked.

Xo recent political event has emphasized more pointedly tho extraordinary trend to President Wilson of progressive and independent voters than the present speaking- tour in the east of John M. Parker, progressive nominee lor vice president, which lias developed into an open nnd vigorous campaign in ad vocacy of the president's re-election. Candidate Parker begun his cam paign by merely condemning; the be trayal of the progressive party at Chicago, and nttm-kins; Mr. Hughes' candidacy, but he is now speaking primarily for the election of President Wilson. His present tour, which began nt Poughkeepsie and Schenectady today, is conducted under the auspices of the Wilson progressive onmpnign com mittee. Tomorrow he will speak nt Hartford, Conn., nnd On Wednesday he will address a large body of Mas sachusetts progressives nt Boston. He will return to Connecticut on Thursday, speaking in New lluven in the evening. Arrangements are now being perfected for a rousing meeting Brooklyn on Friday. The large nudiences which have al ready beard Air. 1'nrlicrs speeches have consisted almost entirely of pro gressives nnd independent voters, who have heartily rescinded to his strong plea for President Wilson's re election.

IS The IrlBh ques tion was again brought to the fore in the house of commons today with the Introduction by John Redmond ot a m6tton criticizing the system of government of the Island. The motion reads: "That the system of government at present maintained in Ireland Is inconsistent with the principles wherefor the allies are fighting In Europe and is, or bas been, mainly responsible for the recent unhappy events and for the present state of feeling in that country." Since Mr. Redmond gave notice of the intention to attack the govern ment, the Irish leaders have held a number of conferences with Baron Wlm borne, lord lieutenant of Ireland, but) these probably had more to do with the suggestion of conscription to Ireland than with the grievances arising from continuance of martial law and the failure to release all those arrested during the uprising in Ireland lust spring. j However, the question of conscrip-i tion did not come under Mr. Red mond's motion. It doubtless will be discussed tomorrow when the whole subject comes under revlow. i ir i "Nothing 'is Jnor'e' jarring io i one's sense of beauty and ; harmony than on otherwise .hand- somely-turoished homo equipped with uiuifchily window shade.

They are the re sult of Dr. Kdwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. W hy cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and "heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spir its. 10c and 25c a box. All druggists.

There they work and struggle against frightful odds, the majority never setting a chance. 1 f we had always spent our money at home we could have built up industries at home to give employment to these boys and girls. How many children has our neglect of home interests driven away into the big cities ? Just in so far as we failed to give our support to our home community are we responsible for this condition. We are the ones who have blocked their chances. We hnve placed a handicap in their lives. They arc not other people's children. They are ours. But it is not too late to do our duty by the next generation. They belong to us. too. Let us do everything in our power to keep these children at home. Let us spend our money at home.
