Is there any political reason why con-
gress should not now complete its unfin-
ished gold-standard act at the coming
session? We can see none. 1t Is not
probable that the Democrats would offer
any serious resistance to It. They have
been 30 beaten and Inundated on the
sound-money issue that they will cast II
to the winds on the first opportunity, II
they are wise. They can properly say
that as the country has decided the case
against them twice--the second time more
tiecisively than the first-they will aban-
don that issue. This, In our opinion, they
will do in any event. The recent election
was not merely an eye-opener. 1t was a
head-opener. The party, II It Is to live
at ALL must follow new lines and new
leadership. But II the Democratic sem
ators should plant themselves against nm
amendment OF the gold standard act.

its declared purpose and shield the coun-
try from perils of which 1t has had dire

the worse for them. RI the Republicans

Is this one--to go forward and complete

law OF the state requires election dis
tricts to be so constituted that each shall
contain, as nearly as may be. two hum

established are apt to remain without

lation soon makes them unwieldy and
throws great difficulties in the way OF
casting and counting the vote.
