Her position as telegraph operator had

kindness and gifts to the needy were
known only to her most intimate friends

This is the United States, Moi Mexico
(From the New York Sum-

In every State Of the Union the
election law provides machinery for
the honest count of the vote, for the
correction of clerical errors of count,
for the rejection of illegal ballots, for
the exact and impartial ascertain
ment OF the result.
In a Federal election the party in
power in the Federal Government and
the party in opposition to the party
in power stand on absolutely equal
terms before this tribunal of ascer-
tainment. The law makes no distinc-
ton between the candidate in Office
seeking reelection and the candidate
not in Office seeking election.
The use of the machinery OF cleo
tion for partisan advantage, or the
attempted interference with it for the
advantage Of the candidate in power,
is the greatest crime that can be com
mitted against the American system
OF self-government. It is an outrage
not to be measured by the mere ex-
tent of the interference or attempted
interference. 1t is the sinister omen
Of Mexican rather than American
methods of attaining to executive
Office, or Of holding executive Office
when already in possession.
The spirit of our people. irrespec-
tive Of individual preferences and
hopes, has been admirable during the
many hours of doubt and of fluctuat-
ing probabilities since the polls closed
on Tuesday night. The hopes have
been as ardent as the disappointments
have been acute, but throughout the
long strain of uncertainty there has
not been in the temper of the people
the slightest sign of any disposition
other than to await and accept the
result, when numerically reached, no
matter which candidate for President
is found to have the majority of 266
electoral votes. Fair play and cone
gratulatiOns to the winner is the pro-
gram generally acknowledged.
This, we say, is the United States,
and not Mexico.
Except in some Of the perfervid bull
letins emanating from Mr.. McCor-
m.ck's headquarters, there has not
been, so far as we are aware. the re-
motest intimation that one party or
the other was plotting fraud or con-
spring to defeat its antagonist by
cOrruptly tampering with the electoral
machinery The process OF ascertain
ment has been and is a purely arith-
me9.cal process, as il ought to be in
a republic that is the United States,
not Mexico. The Sun has a lively
recollection of the unreasoning emo
tions excited, and the passionate will
ingness on the part of many strong
partisans to win the game by any
ava liable means, which characterized
even the earlier phases Of the cleo
toral controversy of 1876. We hope

FACTS REGARDING TRADE BALANCES.

VTTHATEVBR view politicians may have taken re-

future financial safety depends upon their correctly
analyzng the business situation While they their
preferences during the recent camapgn to candi-
dates for the Presidency yet those preferences did not

conditions.
President Wilson and the members OF his Cabinet
and his political campaign managers repeatedly made
the assertion that revival Of industry not
based upon trade growing out OF the They main
tanned absolute silence regarding the fact that
had favorable trade balance at the time the Under

to let the people OF the country believe that

But as remarked before the large business men Of
the country labor under no deuson OF that kind On
November 3. In Chicago. the leading bankers OF the
country held a meeting to devise means Of checking
the food Of gold that has been flowing into this coun
try until it has become a menace to our financial
structure They recognize the we'll known fact that
one dollar OF gold furnishes the basis for dol

due entirely to abnormal exports OF commodities

quantities sell export desires receive in pay

pals the stoutest heart. We have
therefore conspiracy TO suppress
the truth, to interfere with the ordi-
nary rules OF justice to deceive the
public and mislead the government.
This would be unbelievable IN this
twentieth century, and this land Of
freedom, were it not that facts are
facts and court records prove them.
II is inconceivable that a commission
or court, having truth and justice
as the very objective of its exist
ence, can ignore the fact that evil
dence is tampered with and falsiied
and that its witnesses are intimida-
tedsO as to make the eliciting Of the

The Interstate Commerce Comm s.
sion has intrusted the administration
of its police powers to men who are
members of the brotherhoods which
have these provisions in their con
st.tutions and do not hesitate to en-
force them. We are not criticing
these appOintments--they are un-
doubtedly able and well qualified
men, If they have an undivided loyal
ty. We hear much against hyphenis-
alton in these days. Are we to place
the word brotherhood and q hyphen
before the ofiidal title given by the
Commission to its appointees? Ac-
cording to the constitution of their
order, such men may be expelled, rob-
bed and Ostracised If they venture to
differ from the junta. The hearing
now under way is conducted on the
side Of sustaining the electric head
light order by such representative OF
the Commission under the direct con-
troll and personal direction Of the

terry to oppose any revelation of its
methods on the ground that it is i'm
material to the subject under con-
sderatioon
In effect the present situation is a
demand that the labor junta shall be
permitted to control the administra-
tion OF law. just as it enforced the
making of the so-called "eight-hour"
law The facts are now made public.
The Commission must. OF course,
judge the preponderance of evidence.
How can t refuse to consider facts
which explain that preponderance?

to good heaven that the experiences
may never be repeated in this pub
lie. The prevailing sentiment was
well expressed by the World yester-
day when it said There must be
no stain on the Presidency of the
United States, whether the President
be Woodrow Wilson or Charles e
Hughes"
For this reason we trust it is not
true, as reported in the news columns
OF the World and other newspapers,
that Attorney General Gregory has
been in repeated and protracted con-
ference at Democratic headquarters
with the partisan managers OF Mr..
Wilson's campaign and the counsel
employed by them to handle any legal
business that may grow out of the
count. We hope it is not true, as
reported in the Washington des-
patches OF yesterday, that Attorney
General Gregory's participation in
the councils of q wholly unofficial
campaign committee with view to
shaping its partisan operations dur
lowed by the despatch to Minnesota
and New Mexico of agents of the De-
partment Of Justice. These are Gov
ernment officers whose duty is to the
whole people. 1t is not their business
to supervise or in any way influence
the local process of ascertaining the
result in any State. This is the
United States, not Mexico.
AS a private citizen and a Demo-
crat and a supporter of Mr.. Wilson
for reelection Mr. Gregory has an
unquestioned right to frequent Demo-
cratic headquarters, and to enjoy. to
any extent that his constitution will
stand, the society of Mr. Vance Nc
Cormick and his lawyers. But as a
Federal officer and the head of the
Department of Justice he has no
right to turn the powers and prestige
and the services of his Federal subor-
dinates to one SIDED activities in the
interest of a candidate, even though
, that candidate is his official superior.

That is the way things are done I'm

are not done under the American sys-
tenn. Interference at the instance OF
the campaign managers Of one party,
the putting of officers of the Depart
ment of Justice at the disposition Of
the campaign manager of one party.
would be at this time a most unfor-
tunate incident. II would not only
outrage the American idea Of impair
tial administration of the Government
so far as campaign work is concerned
! but it would also inevitably lead TO
suspicion as to how much further such
partisan interference had extended.
II would put upin the Presidency the
