THE RING OF TRUTH.
Those wlm remember the open door in the capitol at Al
bany, and the jolts that bosses received again and again when
they attempted the pussyfoot and star chamber game, have no
doubt that Hughes meant what he said in his New York speech:
‘‘It is hardly necessary to say that, if I am elected, we shall
have an exclusively American policy in the service of American
interests. I have no secret understandings, no unstated pur
pose. If anyone supposes that, in case of my election, the right
and interests of American citizens will be subordinated to any
ulterior purpose or to the interest of the policies of any foreign
]tower whatever, he is doomed'to disappointment.”
A man who all through his career has been an American
first man, staunch as an oak, and fearlessly progressive, does
not have to repeat to give to what he says the ring of truth.
-:o :•-—
A DASTARDLY PRESENTATION.
Secretary <>l Commerce William C. Redfield must either he
file stupidest {iiiblic man mi earth or he must think that the
masses of his countrymen have less sense than so many gray
apes. In the magazine section of tin* New York Times, with
flaming headlines, the secretary is given one and a half pages
involving a v ilderness of figures to prove that “the Underwood
tariff caused a decrease in. the imports of foreign goods that
compete w ith our products.”
lie shows that the increase in imports during the nine
months of the fiscal year ending July, 1914, in which the Un
derwood law was in force was only $80,917,423 over the total
amount received during the previous year, but thinks that was
due to a falling off of exports.
1 he rest of his figures merely show the decreased imports
and the increased exports since the war began in Europe and as
cribed t lie whole business to the 1' mlerwood law. As one wades
through the figures his mind undergoes a change and he is
convinced that the secretary is not as stupid as his picture in
dicates, but that he is, if not personally dishonest, a man who,
to further party ends, would wilfully attempt to deceive his
countrymen.
He is not worth tin* respect of any honest man. In pass
ing it may be appropriate to say a word about the New York
Times. It poses as an Independent newspaper and has ever
since its former editor, Raymond, was in charge. But had it
been published in London, for twenty years past to defeat
everything like the protection of American industries, and to
keep American ships off the sens it could not have been half so
effective as it has been in New York in the same time.
-:o:
CAN WOMAN SIT IN CONGRESS?
The possibility that at least one woman may he elected to
congress lia> raised the interesting question as to the eligibility
of a woman to serve in the national law making body.
Miss Jeanette Rankin, of Montana, is running for congress
with the hacking of the Independents and Republicans of her
Mate, and Miss Josephine Fernald, of San Francisco is a Demo
cratic nominee.
\\ lien the Bar Association of New York appointed a com
mittee to pass upon the legality of naming a woman judge,
about a year ago, the committee found that whereas precedent
governed tin* interpretation of the constitution on this head,
women in various parts of the country had been elected or ap
pointed to fedi ml positions, hut oniy in clerical occupations.
\\ here exceptions were found, as in the suffrage states, the
committee reported that special legislation had enabled’a wo
man to assume the duties. Federal District Attorney II. Snow
den Marshall gave it as his opinion that without special legis
lation no woman could he seated in an elective or appointive
federal position other than clerical.
Mis> FJi/ahctli Read, a lawyer, in the women’s committee
ol the National Hughes Alliance, said that in investigating this
she had found as many instances where women were permitted
to till the offices to which they had been elected without the
enactment of a special statute, as of those who obtained liberty
to fulfill their duties only in this way.
“ Many women,’’ said Miss Read, “are now filling offices
that are more than mere recording or clerical ones, like Miss
Lathrop in the children’s bureau, who holds a most important
federal job; yet it required special legislation to put her there.
All signs point to the election of Miss Rankin, and in my opin
ion nothing can prevent her from taking her seat in congress.”
-:o:-—
We soon shall have to get Germany’s recipe for war
break.
-:o:
Bulgaria is getting her revenge for being double-crossed'
by Roumania in the Balkan war.
-:o:-—
If eugenics and birth control should ever succeed in creat
ing a race of super-humans, who would be the supers in the
drama of life!
-:o:
Taking a flier in aviating wheat is always attended by the
danger of running into air pockets like the one the market
struck yesterday, when European buyers turned around and
sold just to realize on the inflated prices.
-:o:
*
Our military vigilance in Santo Domingo shines with an
unpleasant lustre when contrasted' with our conduct in and to
ward Mexican murderers. The administration seems to be
much more deeply interested in the Dominican revenues than
in the lives of Americans in Mexico.
-:o:
Now and then a “dead one” is heard to remark that the
tariff is a “dead issue.” It never can become a dead issue, and
just now it is very much of a live issue. Nothing that may be
employed to discriminate in favor of American development
can become a dead issue, though funeral sermons by the hun
dred be preached by the orators of a party which year after
year piles inconsistency upon inconsistency with relation to it.

Pen Mightier
Than the
Sword.
By BREEN.
The most powerful
pen is the advertising
pen.
Publicity, like elec
tricity, is yet in its in
fancy. None knows the
limits of either.
But it is patent to all
that newspaper advertis
ing is the foundation of
all publicity.
Now, listen. There
isn’t a successful business
man in the country who,
when cornered, will
not confess that a great
measure of his success is
due to advertising.
Be success. Adver
tise.

Advertising
An Aid to
Education.
By BREEN.
Read the ads. They’ll
help in your education.
There was a time when
ads. were glimpsed. To
day they are read care
fully. An ad. carries
information. Information
is educational. When a
man advertises he seeks
to enlighten.
Women today read
department store ads.
more carefully than they
do the society news.
That is a strong state
ment. But it is true
nevertheless.
And the men seek
bargains in the newspa
per ad. columns. Read
and be enlightened.
Add to your education.
