He Fought a Good Fight.

Now that there is no longer any question Of
doubtful states changing the result in the cleo
toral college and President Wilson's reelection is
assured the verdict must still be that Mr.
Hughes fought good, fight The question is not
whether the candidate or his campaign managers
made ayoidable mistakes--for mistakes are al
ways made--nor even whether the victory should
have been his, but whether anyone else who was
within the range OF possibilities at the time Mr..
Hughes was nominated could have done better
or even as well.
The task which confronted the Chicago con-
vention was to select a standard-bearer who
offered the best guarantee OF reuniting the two
elements which had split four years before and
without whose reunion defeat was foredoomed.
That task, as we now know, was more difficult
than anyone then thought and the loss Of the
deciding electoral votes Of states like Ohio and
Kansas and California is plainly due to failure
to weld together again the forces that had in
1912, become more antagonistic and hostile to
one another than to their common enemy, the
democratic party.
But who else than Mr. Hughes could have
succeeded to the extent that he succeeded?
Could Roosevelt, who was the alternative offered
by tn progressivesi That is at least open to
question. Could Cummins, or Weeks, or Root
or Fairbanks, or Burton, or La Toilette, whose
names were the only others commanding modi-
cum Of following among the deiegatesi 1t seems
hardly open to argument that any one Of them,
under then existing circumstances, could have
commanded the cordial support Of both regulars
and former bull moosers in the numbers to which
they rallied to Hughes.
When we look back, Mr.. Hughes has really
wonderful achievement to his credit for being
the instrumentality Of reinstatng the great his
toric republican party--the party Of nationalism,
Of constructive progress, OF undivided American
ism--to its former position Of supremacy.

The Religious Issue.

Omaha, Nov. 16.-To the Editor of
The Bee: Now that the smoke Of the
battle which arose from the heat of
the recent political conflict has faded
away and the enlightened verdict of
the American people has been rendered
you will pardon me II should COM
ment upon some of the tricks and de-
vices resorted to in order to prejudice
the minds of the voters before the
rendition of that judgment. Under
our statute tampering with jury Is
criminal offense. but through the
tolerance of the people tampering with
the minds of the voters goes unpun-
ished Until saw many sample bal
lots issued by q few Omaha biggots
at the recent election ] had consoled
myself with the happy thought that
the spirit of intolerance which in the
early COS spread Its blight over this
community had been forever crushed
by the verdict Of broad-minded Prot
estants. which at that time was rem
dered against it, but found that 1t
was resurrected from u grave where II
was dead, buried, damned and deliv-
cred. am proud Of the position taken
by Franklin A. Shotwell on this sub
ject, knowing him to be Protestant
In religion, and the descendant Of q
family who helped to frame consti-
tuition for this nation that made II
possible for every man to worship
God according to the dictates Of his
own conscience.
regret deeply the fact that this
crowd Of biggots are found mostly In
the republican party in this county.
am a Roman Catholic and republi-
can, and am at a loss to know what
that grand old party ever did to them
that they labor so zealously to seek
its ruin. do not know what name
they masqueraded under. but do know
what name would give them were
given that privilege. but will say to
them individually and collectively that
the republican party is not dark
lantern party, it was not born in ig-
norance nor nurtured IN bigotry. II
Is a party broad Of vision, tolerant
and free from fanaticism. and that

Belgium Appeals for Intervention.

The direct appeal from Belgium to the United
States for aid In thwarting . German plan opens
another and even deeper phase Of the diplomatic
situation connected with the war. German mill
tary- authorities are frankly enforcing labor Of
Beigians, have deported the able-bodied men
from certain localities and are using them in Ger
many. This course Is supported BY the state
ment that otherwise the Belgians are idle, are
charges on charity, and consequently are dete-
rioratns. To give them. steady and useful en-
ployment will not only assist in solving the
problem Of their support, but will aid in restoring
them to condition Of self-respect and maintain
them in decency until they can be properly placed
in established society.
Against this the Belgians urge they are forced
into labor Of benefit to an enemy, that the work
the Germans require is the production Of muni-
tons, which u tantamount to forcing the pris-
offers to fight against their own country This
Is roundabout way, they insist, Of doing some
thing contrary to modern usages OF war, and
forbidden by agreement international conven-
tons. however, have been Of little service in the
present conflict and will find about as much grace
in this as ii other emergencies that have arisen
What our government will do isnot indicated
but II has instructed the charge at Berlin to rep
resent to Won Bcthmsnn- Holiweg that Germany's
course in this "can not but have an unfortunate
effect on neutral opinion" something for which
all the belligerents have so far exhibited lofty
disregard Notes may be exchanged, but in the
meantime the BeIgians viii continue to work in

Fragments OF Colonel Roosevelt's address on
"Nationalism in Art and Literature" indicate that
his deep-set Americanisn has not been tinctured
by any influence Of foreign culture. He is just
as ambitious for the home product in art and
literature as In industry or politics and demands
devotion from his country to strictly national
ideals here as in everything else. While he gives
his criticism quality more corrosive, perhaps,
than others who have labored to the end he seeks.
the colonel voices sentiments that really held
BY the better friends Of ali that is good in Ameri
canism. 1t is too much to expect that we should
have developedlb by this time completely rounded
art OF our own, but we have the beginnings. Our
writer's have won place among the worlds
great; some Of our painters and sculptors are
already cnshrined among the immortals; Amer.
can music Is known abroad. and hearing has
been had for our dramatists, although we have
as yet given to the world no truly great play.
Our national life given over for the great part to
bringing waste places Of nature under subjuga-
ton, to building up cities in the wilderness, to
wrestling from forest and mine the things needed
BY man in his material growth, has expanded
TO some degree along the softer lines Of art, and
our people have responded in respectful and
even liberal admiration IL not with the fuller
appreciation that comes from understanding. II
is perhaps, because we have followed the colonies
order Of things, and have developed strength
courage and justice first that we are tagging in
other ways; yet even this impetuous advocate Of
things to be done, whose impotence bursts forth
IN termagant speech at times, must know that
the real fiber Of Amercanism lies much too deep
and is far too strongly knit to be weakened BY
"servility" in art and that America will lose little
by not hurrying on to something that must come
slowly II 1t is to be worthy when achieved
