TEDDY'S INSINCERITY
COLONEL ROOSEVELT, in denouncing tho eight-hour
day law i'or trainmen, said that the justice of the
railroad brotherhood's demands had not been sufficiently
investigated, and renuilked:
"Klght hourB may be the outside Unit of proper work time In Mr.
Ford's factory, where the man is all the time working at just one thing,
Intensively and without vacation: but eight hourB that includes doing
nothing but sit around, and also change of occupation, may not tie long
enough."
Iii 1 900, in his annual message to congress, under the
heading, "Railroad Employes' Hours and the Eight-Hour
Law," President Koosevelt said:
"I call your nttentlon to the need of passing the bill limiting the num
ber of hours of employment of rullroad employees. The measure 1b a very
moderate one, and 1 can conceive of no serious objection to It. Indeed, bo
far as it lies In our power, it should he our. aim Bleadlly to reduce the
number ot hours of labor, with as a coal the general introduction of the
eight-bour day."
Tn 1907, President Roosevelt in his message to Congress
of December 3, said:
"The general Introduction of the eight-hour day should bo' the goal
towards which we should steadily tend."
Jn 1900 the eighty-hour day for railroad men was ap
proved, liresumablv after. due investigation, by Roosevelt
as desirable.
In 191G the eight-hour day for trainmen is pronounced
impractical and condemned bv Roosevelt. Though ten
years had elapsed since he investigated the subject and
gave it his approval, it "has not been sufficiently investigated."
Koosevelt s hypocricv and carping criticism on tiie
eight-hour bill is on a par with his venomous attacks upon
every action of the president, and pure demagoguery.
Jn his Wilkes-Havre speedy Koosevelt compared Pres
ident Wilson and congress to a lot of cattle thieves, because
they passed the eight-hour law. He is the verbal ruffian
and strong-arm thug of the Hughes campaign whose main
business is to throw vitriol and assassinate character.
MEXICO AND IRELAND
IN dealing with Mexico,' President vv nson has held
steadily in view the ideal that one country has no right
to interfere in the internal affairs of another. He has be
lieved that Mexico would no more tolerate our tutelage in
that matter than the north would have allowed England to
intervene on behalf ot the south in our civil war.
Put another thing has guided the president in his pol
icy towards Mexico, lie lias been seeking the greatest;
good for the greatest number. 1
That unhappy country iias 1(,IM),0K) people, and the
bulk of the land is held by (iO,000 owners, some of them
Americans, and almost, all holders ot titles procured by
illegal grants from tyrants like Diaz.
The Mexican neon never Will be peaceful, contented
and happy until he is restored to the land as owner. He
has the same passion lor earth as the Irish peasant. Ihe
problem is to do awav with absentee ownership and restore
the soil to the 15,940,000.
To attack this policy is to assume the, saine attitude as
did and do the Tory English, who believe in absentee land
lordism in Ireland. It is to say that the Mexican peon
as did the Irish peasant before the newer dispensation
should continue to lie a servant on the laud, or a inere ten
ant on siii'ference, rather thali a free, upstanding owner of
the plot he tills.
And just as there were I ones in England ready to shed
the blood of the common people of England who served in
the British army, to hold on to their thousands hf acres in
Ireland, so there are Tories in this country perfectly will
ing to allow the blood of American soldiers to be spilled, if
only they may hold on to their ill-gotten ranches and
estates.
The Tories in England fought Parnell and Redhioiid.
The Tories in this country fight AVoodrow Wilson.
MEANS WHAT HE SAYS
Ml!. HUGHES again explains what he would have doiie
if he had been president on the day the Lusitania
was sunk. He reiterates that he would have done nothing
about II, for the very simple reason that if he had been
president the Lusitania would not have been sunk.
Why not?
Hecause Hughes was president.
That's what he said at Louisville and reiterated at
Yoiiiigstown. as follows:
"Now rises the secretary of the treasury to complain that this was not
a statement of w hat I would have done had tlte sinking occurred. It ap
parently seems impossible to tills administration that one can mean what
lie says. This Is Its difficulty. With it, a threat or action does not seom
to moan anything tint words. My position is somewhat different. 1 mean
what 1 say and because tills would hnve been well known and wo should
already have had a reputation for firm and correct policies, I repeat that
the Lusitania would not have been sun);."
And there it is a fine example of judicial utterance,-
sonorous and sounding, and simple, too. Every one can now
understand just what Mr. Hughes would have done if the
Lusitania had been sunk wlien he was president.
Charles Evasion Hughes "means what he says." but
says nothing of what he means, lie took gootl care not to
answer I lie iiesion asked ami expects the people to turn
over the control of the government to him, without his
deigning to explain his attitude upon important issues.
All we know from Mr. Hughes is that Wilson's peace
policy is wroinr and should be undone.

POHTf,AXD, Or., Oci. 21. William
Hanlev of Bums, Or., progressive
nominee for United States senator iii
1914, is visiting Portland and predicts
that President Wilson will turn' east
ern mul central Oregon in the coming
election. Spenkinif of ilic issues, Mr.
rinnlev snid:
Wilson a Real President.
"Woodrow Wilson has been n real,
not a political; president a man so
thoroughly educated that he instinc
tively foresees the great problems of
the country and takes steps to meet
them. From long years of e.eri
eneo I know exactly what the fanners
are up against in their efforts to
make frood. The nttempt to apply the
rules of commercial credit to them
short time loans with high rates nf
interest; with the exception that the
farmer paid more interest than mer
cantile concerns was nn absurdity to
begin with.
I'msnealivy ItoiMudx Upon Hie Soil.
"Everything begins and ends with
the soil, the country's prosperity is in
the last analysis entirely deiendcnl
upon It, and the basis of credit should
always have been the farmer's needs.
This is n fundamental truth, and one
would think thut something would
have been done about it long ago. Hut
no; it retnaiuud for Woodrow Wilson,
the, far-seeing stutosmnnj to recog-
hir.e that our credit system was fun
damentally wrohjr and to set about
hanging it. '
"1 do not blame anyone in particu
lar for tiie injustice done our agricul
tural population -nnd indirectly the
entire nation rbut 1 do land President
Wilson and intensely admire him for
recognizing tho vital nature of Ibis
problem.
Tho Head of the Herd.
"To mv mind It is the duty of gov
ernment, tii use ft stock phrase, to put
itself at the bend of the herd, nnd
this is exactly wlinl President Wilson
has done.
"And notv ns to his criliee. There
nre two kinds of people those who
do things and the mouth-workers. Mr.
Wilson belongs to the former, while
Mr. Hughe's is a mouth-worker. The
man of action is always too busy to
do much talking, letting results do tho
talking for him, while the mouth
worker we have always with us. You
run across the type n great deal in
small country towns, Thev sit around
'and say how things ought to be done,
but the great point is that they never
do anything.
"To my mind, it is almost insanity
for the American people to even think
of supplanting Mr. Wilson a man
who has made good with emphasis
with n judge who quit the supreme
court to enter politics.
WluH WIlRon Has Done.
"Why, Wilson has caused to be en
acted into law the best ideas of nil
three great political parties, while
prior to his time they were mere sub
jects of conversation and nothing was
really done lo put them into practice.
The issue in this campaign is not one
of party; it is Wilson, and Wilson
only. He is not any more of a demo
crat than he is anything else, lie is
ah American nnd ti statesman, a won
derful statesman.
"Just let your mind run down the
list of what he has accomplished,
from the federal reserve law to the
rural credits law, and any clear nnd
honest-thinking man must be convinc
ed that he is a mail of wonderful in
telligence and remarkable foresight
working wholc-liearlcdlv for the best
interests of the American nation."
Where tlie Money Has (.one.
Heverting lo a discussion of the
rural credits legislation, Mr. llanley
declared that it fairly "made his blood
boil to see how easy it was to get mil
lions to erect large buildings in the
city, while millions of acres in the
eoutitry, on Which hundreds of thou
sands of happy homes could be made
and on which they should be made for
the future welfaro of this republic,
were going to witste.
"It takes the soil, the fact that one
is producing something and bus
something in view, tb produce the
kind of .character that is necessary
lo the nation," he declared. "As it
is now, we nre becoming a nation of
