NEWS.
"\\'bcn these blamed conventions
are over," writes a weary reader who
isn't much interested In politics, "will
there be. some news In the papers
again?"
Well. maybe. War stuff for example
Things secm to be warming up in Eur-
ope again. And then some other wrury
reader who isn't interested in the war
will write ln~and want to know if
there'll be some news in the paper
when pence comes. And it all goes
back to the question that nobody has
ever answer satisfactorily: “What is
news?”
As a matter of fact, there seem to .
be about as many kinds of news as
there are kinds of people. And since
it would be [I bit difilcult to print a
newspaper to order for every reader,
an editor has to figure mostly on the
average man. and give him what; he
wants. Zind me rather guess the aver-
age man is really interested in the po-
litical campaigns in this country and
the military campaigns in Europe.
That being the case, why not criti-
cise the average reader, rather than
the editor? Or why not coast the poll-
ticinua and war boards that make the *
news? 4 /

justice Hughes's telegram to Chairman Harding of the
Republican convention follows:
Mr. Chairman and Delegates:
I have not desired the nomination. I have wished to re-
' on the bench But in this critical period of our nation
al ‘ cry, I recognize that it is your right to summon and
tint it is my paramount duty to respond. You speak at a
tints of national exigency transcending merely partisan con-
siderations. You voice the demand for a dominant, thorugh—
going Americaniam with firm, protective, upbuilding policies
essential to our peace and security; and to that call, in this
crisis. I cannot fail to answer with the pledge of all that is
in me to the service of our country, Therefore, I accept the
nomination.
I stand for the firm and unflinching maintenace of all the
rights of American Citizens on land and sea. I neither impugn
motives nor underestimate difficulties. But it is most regret-
tably true that in our foreign relations we have suffered in-
calculably from the weak and vacilating course which has
been taken with regard to Mexico—a course lamentably
wrong with regard to both our rights and .our dutiea. We
interfered wimout consistency. and while seeking to dictate
when we were not concerned we utterly failed to appreciate
and discharge our plain duty to our own citizens. ,
At the outset of the Administration the high responsi~
bilties of our diplomatic intercourse with foreign nations were
subordinated to a conception of partisan requirementa.andwe
presented to the world a humiliating spectacle'of ineptitude.
Belated efforts have not availed to recover the influence and
prestige so unfortunately sacrifi sec]. and brave words have been
stripped of their force by inde :islon.
I desire to see our diplomacy restored to its best stan-
dards and to have these advanced; to have no sacrifices of na-
tional interest to partisan expedienCcs;to have the first abil-
ity of the country always at its command here and abroad in
diplomatic intercourse: to‘ maintain firmly‘our rights under
international law. insisting steadfastly upon all our rights as
mutual and fully performing our international obligations.
‘ and by the clear correctness and justneas of our position and
our. manifest ability and disposition to sustain them to dignify
our place among nations.
I stand for an Americanism that knows no ulterior pur-
pose; for a patriotism that is single and complete. Whether
native or naturalized. of whatever race or creed. We have but
one country andiwe do not for an instant tolerate any di-
vision or allegiance.
I believe in making prompt provision to assure absolutely
our national security. I believe in preparedness. not only
entirely adequate for our defence with respect to numbers
and equipment in both army and navy. but with all thorough-
ness. to the end that in each branch of the service there may
be the utmost efficiency under the most competent adrninis-
trative heads. We are devoted to the ideal of honorable peace.
We wish to promote all wise and practicable measures for
the just settlement of international disputes. In view of our
abiding ideals, there is no danger of militarism in this coun-
try. We have no policy of aggression. no lust for territory,
no zeal for strife. It is in this spirit that we demand adequate
provision for national defence. and we condemn the inexcusa-
ble neglect that has been shown in this matter of first national
importance. We must have the strength which self-respect
demands, the strength of an efficient nation ready for every
emergency. Our preparation must be industrial and eco-
nomic as well as military. '
Our severest tests will come after the war is over. We
must make a fair and wise readjustment of the tariff. in ac-
cordance with sound protective principles. to insure our eco-
nomic independence and to maintain American standards of
living. We must conserve the j t interests of labor, realiz-
ing that in a democracy patrioti and national strength
must be rooted in. evetohmded justice. In preventing, as we
must, unjust discriminationa and monopolistic practices, we
must still be zealous to assure the foundations of honest
business. ,
Particularly should we seek the expansion of foreign
trade. We must not throttle American enterprise here or
abroad. but rather promoter it and take pride in honorable
achievements. *
We must take up the serious problems of transportation,
of interstate and foreign commerce. ina sensible and candid
manner, and provide an enduring. basis for prosperity by
the intelligent use of the constitution! powers of Congress.
' so as adequately to protect thepuhlic on onehand, and. on the
other, to conserve the essential instrumentalities of progress.
I stand for the principle! of our civil service laws. In
every department: of govermneitt'tlto highest efficiency must he
insisted upon. For all laws and programmes are vain with- _
out efficient and impartial administration.
I cannot. within the limitiof this statement speak upon
all the subjects that will require attention"! can only any first
