HUGHES POINTS THE WAY.
It' nominee Hughes gives to the country nothing more than
his definition of Americanism his service in this campaign will
have been great. The country has been waiting for such a
patriotic epitome. A number of notables have put head and
hand to the definition since the subject began to disturb the
citizenry. Both parties laid into their platforms the promise
to attempt to restore it, and to nurture it. But what is this Am
ericanism?
What are we to expect of a flood into which has been mixed
the corpuscles of every Caucasian strain, and even more?
What is to be demanded of tin* citizen whose allegiance is
not that of birth but adoption?
What unity of ideals can develop in a nation whose shores
are .‘5,000 miles apart, and whose interests are as diversified as
the ingenuity of nature can fabricate?
To what definite point can we steer amid a perfect babel
of political principles, ideas, notions and fads?
Does not Hughes point the way? In his speech of accept
a nee he says:
“We know that we are iti a Critical period, perhaps more
critical than any period' since the Civil war. We need a domin
ant sense of national unity, the exercise of our best constructive
]towers; the vigor and resourcefulness of a quickened America.
We desire that the Republican party, as a great liberal party,
shall be the agency of national achievement, the organ of the
effective expression of dominant Americanism.
“What do I mean by that? I mean America, conscious of
power, awake to obligation, erect in self-respect, prepared for
every emergency, devoted to the ideals of peace, instinct with
the spirit of human brotherhood, safeguarding both individual
opportunity and the public interest, maintaining a well ordered
constitutional system adapted to local self-government without
the sacrifice of essential national authority, appreciating the
necessity of stability, expert knowledge and thorough organi
zation as the indispensable conditions of security and progress;
a country loved by its citizens with a patriotic fervor permit
ting no division in their allegiance and no rivals in their affec
tion 1 mean America first and America efficient. It is in this
spirit that 1 respond to your summons.”—Tacoma Daily News.

PRESIDENT CHANGES HIS TUNE.
President Wilson’s change of base on the tariff question
made in the midst of the campaign, is arousing in Democratic
circles a quantity of antipathy superior in kick-back ettect to
the ridicule in tin* Republican ranks. It will be remembered
that in bis speech in Syracuse, X. V., in 1912, the president re
marked that “the tariff is gangrene uponjhe body politic. The
man who does not propose to cut the deadly thing out is a
I. t »
In a recent letter to S. M. Hastings, of the Illinois Manufac
urers’ Association, the president wrote:
4411 ought to be possible by such means (the tan 11 commis
sion proposed by the Kitchin bill) to make the question of
duties merely a question of progress and development, a ques
tion of adapting means to ends, of facilitating and helping busi
ness, and employing to the utmost the resources of the country
in a vast development of our business resources.’
!t.. i j t'm> fotiior of the tariff bill that lias given the
country the ague, insists that the Democratic party is opposed
to a protective tariff, and that the creation of a tariff commis
sion is an admission that the Republican theory is correct. I n
derwood’s reasoning is right. There is no need of a tariff board
if tariff is imposed for revenue only; if the tariff is to be used
- an aid to American industry then a taritt board becomes a
needed addition to governmental machinery.
President Wilson’s ready rhetoric frequently clashes with
itself. Ilis nays of yesterday are the yeas of tomorrow. In
see the “quack” that he described in 1912 he now only has to
consult the reflections of his own mirror.

PAPER FAMINE KILLING OFF SMALL PAPERS.
The paper famine is putting many of the smaller newspn
pers out of business. Dailies have become semi-weeklies; semi
weeklies have become weeklies; many weeklies have given up
the ghost. On the other hand the larger papers are printing
more copies than ever la-fore. Circulation has been increasing
enormouslv, due chiefly to the demand for war news. Many
foreign born persons who never before rea.l dalies are reading
them now. They want to know what is happening in their no
tive lands. The war has encouraged among them a study of
English and of the American form of government. The failure
of HUlny small dailies and weeklies is giving tin* city daily a
still larger domain. But the city daily collides with the-melan
choly fact that the more papers it sells the more money it loses.
—Daily Dispatch.
FITS OUR CASE,
The Portland Telegram says: “What do you think of a
man who lives within ten miles of half a dozen sawmills, in tin
heart of one of the finest timber belts in Oregon, who orders a
knock down’ house by mail from the east ? Postal regulations
forbid us to say what we think.” '
This fits our case exactly. What do you think ot people
who order from the mail order houses whey they have the best
stores in the land right at their doors?
Some of the Democratic papers complain that .Mr. Hughes
i • too much of his speeches, and indeed it has been a long
repeats Was confronted by a candidate who gives
•tUso little peat’ - of'mind. The opposition does not seem to 1m
i with him at all. Meantime lie continues to underscore
ElTwi^U^ina. the aa.nini.tra,ion. He fight, a. Gran,
fought—without giving the enemy any rest.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8. — It
was about this time last season that
the Salt Lake Club of the Pacific
Coast League began its "big drive"
which took it from the cellar position
and finally landed it in second place
only a few games behind the San Fran
cisco aggregation, which eventually
won the pennant. In nine weeks
Blankenship's men were transformed
from despised tall-enders to cham
pionship possibilities. At the rate
they were winning games when the
season closed followers of the game
believe that had there been another
week or two left to play, the Bees
might have been champions of the
coast instead of the Seals.
With the memory of this lingering
in the minds of the fans, they are
now speculating whether history is
about to repeat itself. A glance at
the*schedule for the remaining nine
weeks shows that the Salt Lakers will
play six of these one their home
grounds. This is considered a tre
mendous advantage to any team. Sta
tistics show that clubs perform bet
ter on friendly soil than in the ene
my's country, where the surroundings
are strange to them and the spectat
ors hostile.
The Rees have been doing well ol
late. They are in fourth place and
within striking distance of the Seal*
in third position. The possibilities arc
interesting, and Blankenship’s play
ers doubtless will be the center oi
interest in the league, at all events
during the next few weeks.

Genuine regret is expressed on all
sides at the closing of the athletic
career of Howard I\ Drew, one of the
greatest sprinters in athletic history
who recently suffered a stroke o
paralysis. That the Los Angelei
speed marvel will never again he sect
on the cinder track is the opinion o:
his physician, Dr. \V. A. Tarleton. Ac
cording to the doctor, paralysis wai
brought about by the efforts of Drev
to put on extra speed in order t<
overtake a competitor in the recen
far western track and field meet a
San Diego. His ailment was cliag
nosed as a dislocation of the fourtl
lumbar vertebrae, which produce!
pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Drew has been competing in athlel
ics, football, baseball and track sine
1905. He sprang into prominence a
an athlete in 1912, when he was ihosei
as a member of the American trad
and field team which travelled t
Stockholm. Sweden. Drew was a sti:
dent of Springfield, Mass., high sohoo
at the time.
In the trial heats hold at Stockholn
Drew sprained a tendon and wa
put out of the running. Upon entei
ing this country he decided to com
west with Fred Kelly, and enter th
University of Southern California.
It was while a member of this lean
that Drew developed into the*greates
sprinter in the world. In 1913 h
equalled the world's record of 9 3
seconds and also tied the furlong marl
of 21 1-5 seconds. Drew, on numei
oub occasions, sprinted the centur;
in 9 4-5 seconds.
Last summer Drew suffered a com
plete breakdown in the far westeri
track and field championship meel
After resting for several months Drev
travelled east and defeated the hes
sprinters in the country.
Drew planned to regain his lost lau

Trap shooting in the heart of the
city of Spokane is the innovation
which has been favorably reported by Bi
the playgrounds committee of that “
place. Mayor Fleming, who is an ar
dent participant in the sport, has j
stated that there will be no danger I
and has won over A. E. White, presi j q,
dent of the park board to his way of j
thinking.
It is proposed to establish traps on j
the river bank in the stadium and to , sp
shoot south of these, so that all shots j
going wide will fall in the river. The J
traps will be open to the general pub- j
lie at any time without charge. Each
shooter, however, will be required to g,
furnish his own ammunition, gunshnd gi
clay targets.
