MR. HUGHES’ ICE BLOCK.
The speech of Candidate Hughes’
last week accepting in a formal
manner the Republican nomination
wa^awaited with much interest.
The result was a distinct disap
pointment. Disappointment to the
country because it fell like a block
of ice, and actually caused a drop
in the temperature; disappointing
to the Democrats because it gives
them nothing to answer; disap
pointing to the Republicans be
cause it brings them neither joy nor
hope.
The substance of the speech
may be summed up in a few words.
It might have been delivered "with
out words;” if he had simply
brought a statute of Mr. Wilson
with him to the notification meet
ing and a basket of rotten eggs and
tossed them at the statue one at a
time, that would have been
Hughes’ speech in all its eloquence
—a speech without words. The
whole speech from beginning to
end was devoted to rotten-egging
ihe President, as the New York
World puts it, and Mr. Hughes
does not offer the slighest con
structive policy as to how he would
have done if he had been in Mr.
Wilson’s shoes during the last
three years, during which time he
has borne the heaviest burdens of
any of our presidents except Wash
ington and Lincoln.
To quote again from the New
York World, which tears the
speech to tatters and tosses it to
the four winds of heaven as so
much rubbish, we read:
"If Mr. Hughes’ speech of ac
ceptance means anything, it means
that for partisan and personal ends,
he is in sympathy with every for
eign element that has been in con
troversy with President Wilson
during the last three years. He is
for Huerta and against the Presi
dent. He is for Carranza and
against the President. He is for
Villa and the Mexican bandits and
against the President. He is for
Great Britian and against the
President. He is for the German
conspiracy against the President.”
That Mr. Hughes is doing all he
can to win the votes of the hy
phenated American has been re
peatedly charged, not only by the
Democrats but even by the organs
of his own party have criticized
him for making a bid for the un
American vote.
The New York Tribune, is ad
mittedly the foremost Republican
orgin of the United States and is
trying hard to be a staunch Ameri
can paper and to support Mr.
Hughes at the same time, bu& finds
it a difficult purpose to iiccomplish.
In speaking of Mr. Hughes speech
of a;ceptance, it comments in part
as f jllows:
It would be idle to pretend that
the portion of Mr. Hughes address
whi :h deals with the Lou'.sitania
massacre and our relations with
Germany is satisfactory to The
Tribune. Nor will we undertake
to mike any such pretense.”
The Tribune with very large
company is d'.ssatisfied with the
speech of Me. Hughes, and The
Tribune and'the country will also
realize that the country is not only
dissatisfied with the speech but
dissatisfies with Mr. Hughes a*so.
A man buys clothes to put on— a
woman buys them to show off.

Organdies in High Favor.
Some of tlie loveliest frocks
of the summer are of organdie.
Organdie lends itaelf well to the
billowy effects In fashion and
yards and yards of the crisp,
sheer fabric go Into ruffles,
flounces, puttings and shirrings
for the new orgundie dresses.
An organdie frock for a young
girl has a skirt eight yards
around, tucked from hem to belt
by hand; the bodice is also
tucked across to match and the
sleeves are little puffs with
hand-hemmed ruffles. The com
plete effect Is delightfully girl
ish and charming. There Is
youthfulness also In a second
organdie frock, a model with
rows of shirring around the «
hips. Only a slender, girlish flg- «
ure could stand this very bouf- *
fant frock, with Its full, gath- <
ered waist drawn down Into a *
tiny ribbon sash. The sash is «
violet In color. *

Lingerie Frocks Worn.
There Is an effort being made to

by some of the fine dressmakers. Now
that laces und embroidery are In again
this seems to be the moment. Some
lovely frocks are seen made of finest
white batiste with heavy French em
broideries In very high relief and com
bined with flounces of eight or ten
inch filet, or lace of the Valenciennes
type. The loose fencelike collar, at
tached to a wide shallow decollete, and
made of lace lightly wired, Is general
ly seen on these frocks.
