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.

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.

PARKER STUMPS
EAST IN BEHALF OF
THE PRESIDENT
NEW YORK, Oct. 18. 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.

LONDON, Oct. 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.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the sub
stitute for calomel are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. 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.

- DR1VEN1FROM HOME
Our hoys and girls are leaving the farms and home towns by the thousand and
swarming into the congested cities. 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.
