DUTY OF THE ADMINI3TRA- TION TO STOP PLOTS AND CONSPIRACIES. W.p denounce nil plots and conspiracies In the Interest of any foreign nation. Utterly In tolerable Is the use of our soil for alien Intrigues. Every Amer ican must unreservedly con demn them and support every effurt for their suppression. But here also prompt, vigorous and adequate measures on the, part of the ndmtnlstratlou were need ed. Thoro should linro been no hesitation, no notion that It was wise and politic to delay. Such an nbuse of our territory de manded Immediate and thor oughgoing action. As soon ns the administration had notlco of plots and conspiracies It was Us duty to stop them. It was not lacking In resources. Its re sponsibility for their continu ance cannot bo escaped by the condemnation of others. From Mr. Hughe' Speech of Acceptance. Thomas A.

THE Our opponents promised to re duce the cost of living. This they have failed to do. But they did reduce the opportunities of making a living. Let us not for get the conditions that existed In this country under tho new tariff prior to the outbreak of the war Production bad decrensed, busi ness was languishing, new enter prises were not undertaken. In stead of expansion there was curtailment nnd our streets were filled with the unemployed. What ground Is there for expecting better conditions when the un healthy stimulus of the war has spent its force r.nd our Industries and worklngmcn are exposed to tho competition of an energized Europe? It Is plain that we must have protective upbuilding policies. Mr. nuRbes' Speech of Acceptance. i i S- ISN'T HE THE HANDSOME MAN! imwiMHHaHPnMMMMHHMBH,, MAINTENANCE OF AMERICAN RIQHT8. Hkd this government by the uto of both Informal and formal diplomatic opportunities left no doubt that when we said "strict accountability" we meant pre cisely what we said and that we should unhesitatingly vindicate that position I am confident that there would have boen no destruction of American lives by tho sinking of the Lusltanll. There we had ample notice In fact, published notice. Further more, we knew tho situation, and we did not require specific no tice. Instead of whittling away our formal statements by equiv ocal conversations, we needed the straight, direct and decisive representations which every dip lomat and foreign office would understand. I believe that In this way we should have beon spared the repeated assaults on American lives. Moreover, a firm American policy would have been strongly supported by our people and the opportunities for tho de velopment of bitter feeling would have been vastly reduced. From Mr. Hughos' Speech of Acceptance. lC- Lannlng In Providence Bulletin. The Point of View Absent-Minded. The abscnt-mindedest person' I' ever heard of was the man who at break fast, after being out among the chig gcrs, poured molasses on his ankle and scratched his pancakes.

It means a lot more To a maid, Delightful trimming, Be it said, For a new hat. Settled "My boy is always taking things apart to see how they are made, but he is never able to put them together again. I don't know what to make of him." "That's easy. He has just the right temperament for a critic." ! Cheap i t "How did you make out with your i garden this year?" i "Fine.' I raised so many vegeta ! bles that the exercise I got out of j working in 'it cost me hardly any thing at all." All Gone "Have you got your sea legs yet," ( one passenger asked another on a i transatlantic steamship. ' ' "It's about all I have left," said the other pasenger ruefully. That's Different "My son, rm sorry to sec you smoking cigarettes. I hope you don't inhale them." "No, father, I never do that I merely inhale the smoke." THE COMPELLING PERORA TION TO MR. HUGHES' ACCEPTANCE SPEECH. We live in a fateful hour. In a true sense, the contest for the preservation of the Nation 'is never ended. We must still be imbued with tho spirit of heroic sacrifice which gave us our country and brought us safely through the days of civil war.

We have a vision of America prepared and secure; strong and just; equal to her tasks; an exemplar of the capacity and efficiency of a free people.
