Assures Democratic Victory


HE European war will have and is now
having two effects upon the congress
sional campaign in tho United States II
has lcssencd the public interest in politics.
and 1t has made assurance of Democratic
success doubly sure.
AT ono time It seemed as II the foreign
polcy OF the administration furnished the
only weak point Of attack In the Democratic
armor. Those who approved the Mexican
policy of the President and his determination
that the treaties solemnly entered into by
this country should be kept could not under
stand why any attack upon those pol,cies
should be successful but they recognized
that they would have to be defended. They
recognized that there was strong opposition
TO them. Now it has vanished Tho peo-
pie of tho nation have como 10 appreciatn
more than ever the blessings Of peace They
always wanted peace, of course, but were
unacquainted most of them, with the real
horrors of war. Now that it has been dem
onstrated TO them in practice daily for weeks
they give thanks with fervor that they them
selves have escaped. And they know whom
to thank. They know who made war on
this continent impossible. and knowing This
and knowing who Will strain every nerve
and exhaust every art OF diplomacy TO avoid
the dangers Of being drawn into the Euro-
pean war they arc going to uphold his
hands. In gratitude for present peace and
TO guarantee peace in the future they ,ro
going to support the friends OF Woodrow

Beef Cattle in the South

THE plan lately outlined by the United
1 States Department of Agriculture to
experiment with the raising of beef cattle in
the Southern States is one which If sue
cessful, as it undoubtedly will be, promises
the opening up Of new source Of wealth to
the South. and to have no inconsiderable ef-
feet the cost Of living.
That the production of beef cattle Is an
opportunity the South cannot afford to ignore
The Times Dispatch has moro than once
pointed out The business should have been
undertaken in many States on larger scale
long before this without the incentive of
successful experiment by the Department of
Agriculture. However. 1t not under
taken, and the proposed plan of tho Federal
government Will be watched with interest
and its result, it is to be hoped, will not be
country.
