Wilson would mean more If she could

stances it Is about as valuable as the in

who are said to be enthusiastic for the
Princeton statesman.
Birmingham Is demanding the ar

voted In favor of the appropriation. Are
we to understand that political rather
ihan economic and strategic reasons are
to goVern In the selection of the site?
And Is the plant really to be erected?
The ICtng of Bavaria likes the Idea
et peace all right, but wou'dn't be for any
peace that humiliated Germany. The
troiible is that any peaco that didn't
humiliate Germany would probably hu
miliate the Allies. The big Idea ot to
day seems to be to make Mar have a
maximum ot C03t with a minimum ot result.
The term ot the next President will
be more dangerous than the years In
which we hate had Mr. Wilson. We
shall certainty be In war then, an eco

liver us. No one can keep us out of
that. The nation must have some one
who can pull It through. Chicago Tri

MAINE said one thing clearly. There
Is no landslide sentiment for Wood
row Wilson. Yet only a landslide could
overcome the odds against him and elect
him.
Tho followers ot Wilson are enthu
siasts. To listen to the average Wilson
man is to hear the Impassioned praise of
a man nhd not the reasoned exposition
dt-prlnclplcs. It would please the Presi
dent not a bit to be likened to Colonel
llooseve'.t or eten to Colonel Bryan. But
the hero-worshipers who hailed their
Roosevelt and tho Br) an devotees were
essentially ot the same temperament as
tho die In-thc-lastdltch Wilson men.
These enthusiasts charge their Immo
dlato lctnlty with an eleotrlc rapture.
Tho puzzled Independent says to himself,
"Why, If this Is the way men nro talk
ing all over tho country it's Wilson, that's
nil." So they said In 1806. Republicans
who remember admit they were badly
scared for a time by tho hero-worship
ot Br) an. Tho future historian 1 1 find
It hard to explain 1012, for ho will nbt
have come Into personal contact with
thoso Roosevelt men who couldn't see
how tho Colonel could possibly lose, bo
cause they fe't In their hearts he must
win. Their political vision had become
a Herniation, a most pleasing sensation.
In tho tome way wo today cannot under
rtand Jackson's dictatorship or Grant's
third-term boom.
Maine calls the turn. It puts Wilson's
personal following In the class with tho
Bryan catapulters and the Grant third
term shouterx. It clarifies the work of
the Republican Campaign Committee,
which can now Ignore h)sterlcal pho
nomena and Bet to work to consolidate
known gains in the disintegrated Pro
gressive territory. To further that
process It Is useful to try to exp'aln tho
temporary enthusiasm of those moro or
less Independently minded men who still
nro swayed by the Wilson worshipers.
rirst, they have been swd)ed by the
feeling that Wilson has had n mighty
Hard time. They talk of his tenlble
crises; of the Increase of his gray hairs;
tho lines In his face.
That was what the office of President
was delscd to do' to a man. It Is tho
pride of America that most ot her Presi
dents have broken themselves In her serv
ice. They are meant to. America lles
hard; oven the rich work hard. Here
wo are ready to break our hearts for al
most anything worth while, big or small.
America wlU take a Hughes or a Wilson
or a Lincoln and break him as a matter
ot course, and it Is notable that our Lin
coins are the oues whp do the least talk
ing about being broken.
Second, they who will not or cannot
talk principles say that Wilson has a
brilliant mind, that his patient and ap
pealing sympathies work marvels for con
structive co-operation and advantageous
compromise.
But there Is something greater than
the brilliancy that leaps Intuitive"' ahd
Ingeniously to devices. There Is uorrie
thing better than "Safety First," and that,
Is the safety all the time that tho com
mon, rugged majority, with their aerage
endowment of mental gifts, must con
serve It they are to continue to govern
themselves. There Is even something
better than sympathetic co-operation and
shrewd compromise, and that Is firm
progress that Is not scared into concilia
tory reassurances, and leadership that
scorns compromise.
Said a friend of Lincoln to him; "How
is It a rail splitter like you was elected
and not a brilliant man?" And the reply
was:
"I'm-glad the country didn't elect a
brilliant man in its crisis, but Just a
plain man who would do each day's work
aa It came to him."

THE "LABOR VOTE" A MYTH
To the Editor of the Evening I.edgtr:
Sir All of the opposition papers and a
few Democratic Journals criticize Mr. Wil
son's craven surrender to the railroad
brotherhoods as a bid for the labor vote.
Tha ppposltlon Is, ot course, more severe,
but to the man up a tree It does savor of
peanut politics In that It stultifies the Ad
ministration as none of Its earlier blunders
has done. The writer wonders if the
IIvf.nino I.EDQER can afford space for a
little story of the "labor vote," that un
known quantity which Is so elusive that It
really seems that It Is not.
In 1910 there was a street car strike In
Columbus, O Wages were not very large,
but there was a lort bf profit-sharing ar
rangement whereby the faithful employe
tivrrnged from 12 to tto "bonus" each
month, the street railway company sup
plied the men with their uniforms, work
ing condltlbns were fair end everybody was
happy until a labor leader came along,
organized the men and Btarted trouble. The
strlko lasted but a brief time and ended
by tho company conceding most of the de
mands of the men, though absolutely re
fusing to recognize the Union. None of the
ancient privileges was withdrawn, though
naturally Increased wages Impaired profits
and the bonuses shrank and Columbus
wilted a. counie oi years lor a reaucuon
Of fares which the company was pledged
to whenever their profits reached a certain
figure.
Everybody was happy once again until
the carmen, Inspired by those trouble
brooders who style themselves labor lead
ers, demanded tnat tne company require an
the men to wear the union button on their
coats while on duty, The company re
fused ana anotner sirmo was cuneu
lasted but a few days. That Is, while It
never was called off, the cars ran on sched
ule and a stranger In the town Would not
know that there was a (strike. At last the
labor leaders. Messrs. Mahon and Pratt,
waited on tho Governor to request that he
compel the company to arbitrate, night
here Is the hut ot this labor vote story,
Ohio Is, as every tne knows, normally He
publican by some 40,000, but In "08 If
elected Judeon C Harmon, a Democrat, as
Governor by about 14,000 majority,
A gubernatorial election was approaching
nnd Harmon was again a candidate on the
n.mnrrstla ticket In nepubllaan Ohio, He
courteously Informed his visitor that there
was no law on hc statute books which
would empower him to compel the parties
to any dispute to arbitrate, whereupon tha
labor leaaers imu m " mumi uvmana
ed thht he call a special session of the I-eg-Ulature
and havo such law enacted
(What would -you have done, Mr Wilson?)
Mr. Harmon declined to consider tha pro
posal, eaylng. n substance, that he would
not put the taxpayers ot Ohio to approxi
mately S300.000 expense to settle a family
quarrel.
Election day was but a few week off
and Mewrs. Mahon and Pratt threatened
the dovernpr with the labor vote. HI Ex
ullency replied ta the effect that he Would
perform his duty as he saw It without ref.
trence to the poselble or probable effect
upon his chance fori re-election, arid the
emissaries of organized labot' left vowing
to "get even at the polls,"
Now mark the sequel, Jtepubllaan Dhlo
re-elected ita Demoetatlo Qovwnor, Judson
Is theresuch a thing as a ."labor vote"?
That Is, will worklngmen surrender a po
litical principle because of a slight, real or
fancied, to organized labor? Second, What
would Mr, Wilson havo done In these cir
cumstances? D, H. n

DOES MAINE MEAN ANYTHING T
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir You say that "it Is amusing that the
Serbian Parliament should meet In the
little distant Island of Corru, and that the
Belgian Government 'should hold forth I"
France But then, again, the United States
holds Its national election In Maine."
How about 1912, when at tho September
election, Maine returned a Republican plu
rality of 3200, yet at the 'national" elec
tlop, following a few weeks, later, Wilson
carried the State handsomely and "was
elected President by an overwhelming ma
jority of the electoral college? Or going
back two decades anterior to that upset of
the nvKNiNO LnoaEn's dope, that Is to 1892,
have jou forgotten that Maine returned a
huge Republican majority both In Septem
ber and November, yet Drover Cleveland,
Democrat, was elected President over Har
rison? Or, carrying the comparison to the
remote period ot 1880, do jou not recall
that the Democratlc-Fuslontst ticket car
ried Maine in Soptember, yet Garfield won
the State handily In November? Maine's
motto. "Dlrlgo" (I direct), obviously Is not
infallible, ob your paragrapn suggests.

WILSON'S INDISPENSABILITY
To the Editor of tha Evening Ledger,
Sir Fate Is merciless, for It Is sifting us
Into two classes Americans and "the en
emies In our own household," the very
words you Used In charging the Demo
crats as such enemies because they were
bent on destroying the country's nrosDerltv.
The company re-Ijlut I can now turn the tables upon your
selves, ttepuDiicans, as tne very enemies.
You are In a bad fix this time.
The Democrats did not cause tho Euro
pean war. .s'or did the European war put
the Democrats In power,
America Is at stake, and men havo got
to vote as Americans In November, It Is
not between "the Democrats and Repub
lican; It Is between America and her
alien "enemies In our own household."
Your support ot Hughes puts you In the
position of "an enemy In our own house
hold,' because the (Jerman-Amerlcans boast
of going to vote for Hughes as a slap on
Wilson's face for his American stand
against Germany In regard to the Lusltanla
and submarine policies You can't fall to
know that slapping Wilson means slapping
Americas very iace.

Rdlson's American blood ruitS' hot In
every word when he said that Wilson has
won victories by diplomacy that are far
more Important to mankind than Victories
that we could have won b war As to
our nation's prosperity, the country was
never mare prosperous. Now, In regard to
the tariff, Wilson had the courage to admit
that the Kuropean war returned the tariff
10 me province ot, uiscutaiun. lie nad pro
posed a tariff commission. That Is sense
These are the weighty words ot Edison,
who has seen fit to Indorse his faith In W.
son's guiding wisdom! Edlson'B American
blood will Inspire every true Amulnn n
place America's safety in Wilson's hands ton
ine nev lour years.
So, merciless fate la sifting us, and
Amerlea will know our true colors. n
Amerleans first, and then return to our

Animals
Editor of "What Do You Know" J there
a kind ot animal which grows from the
earth, llkn n tr'c and Is a living being like
other anlin' .' I, c.
The distinction botween animal and plant
Is hard to draw sharply. The list of dif
ferences resolves Itself Into this that the
animal as a rule seeks food and Is pro
vided with organs of locomotion. But most
animal and plant parasites are alike In
requiring liquid, organic food, and locomo
tion Is not always a distinguishing charac
teristic of animals, first, because great
groups of animals are permanently at
tached protozoans, suctorla land sponges,
barnacles, etc! secondly, because some
plant life Is more or less locomotive.
