wAshINdToNIANs, voTHi

Every person who lives in WASH
ington and possesses a legal voting
residence elsewhere, should make It
his particular business to vote,
Not only should Washington people
vote. but there should be some or
gained, systematic plan for keep
ing "tabs" on the number who do
so, where they go to do it, and how
much it costs them.
It would probably be found that in
order to poll the votes of small
minority Of the people of the Capt.
tai, there is spent once in four years
about as much as it would cost to
enable the entire community to vote
as other American citizens do.
Washington wants to get the suf-
frage, and the way to get it is to
exercise it to the fullest possible ex-
tent. There is no population in the
nation more instinct with the ideals
of patriotic citizenship than that Of
Washington. The National Guard of
the District recently gave one dem
onstration of that fact, by turning
out splendid body of soldiers that,
in proportion to the population of
the community, was more numerous
than any State sent to the Mexican
frontier. The expense and incon-
venience to which Washington peo-
pie put themselves in order to vote
when and where they possess the
privilege, constitute further proof
of this city's title to a foremost po-
sition among really national COM
munities.
Vote tomorrow!

ed Of charging invisible government
then. The greatest offense he COM
mitted, in the, view Of some old
fashioned people, was in his insist
ence in all the publicity that could
be brought to bear. When he want
ed support for his policies, he went
out to the people, campaigned, laid
his case before them, and called on
them to force their representatives
into line. By that procedure he exc
cuted the constructive program that
was written into the statutes Of the
Empire State during his incumbeney.
Mr.. Hughes is the especial sort Of
administrator against whom the
charge of being controlled will not
lie; and Mr.. Hughes has sense Of
humor that tells him that sort of ac-
cusations will not be taken serious
ly. He declines to enter denials;
why should he deny? His record on
that particular point is what forced
his nomination, and it is what in
sures his election.

THE dUESsERs AND THEIR
OUESSES

Down. underneath the straw of the
straw votes, there resides the big
and telling fact that normally this
is a Republican country by about a
million and half of votes. 1t is a
Republican country because it be-
lieves, on the whole, that Republi-
can policies are the ones under which
the largest prosperity accrues to
the largest number of people, and
under which there is insured the
highest measure of security to ma
tional interests.
Four years ago, by a marked mi
nority, the Democratic party came
into power because the Republican
party was divided. In the interval
down to this date, the country has
had such an opportunity to observe
the outworkings of Democratic polir
cies that it is more than ever con-
WINGED of the superior efficacy of
Republican policies. The Republic
can party is substantially reunited.
1t has gained large accessions, even,
from the ranks of those who four
years ago voted for Wilson.
The most substantial of all rea-
sons for the belief that Mr.. Hughes
will be elected is that the country is
again back on the basis Of its normal
party. relationships. That means
that. in the aggregate Of shifts and
changes, there must be a transfer
of about million votes from their
normal Republican mornings to the
Democratic total, in order to elect
Mr.. Wilson. 1t is well-nigh a po-
Iitical impossibility. The Wilson
Administration has done nothing to
command a special vote Of conf
dence. 1t came in without vote of
confidence. It was an accident; il
has no claim to perpetuation in
power, and the conditions that
wrought the accident of 1912 no
longer exist.
There is the broad, general state
ment Of the reasons why hackers
of Mr.. Hughes are betting on him at
long and lengthening odds. The best
argument in favor of the bet on
Hughes is to be found in the tabula-
tions of election returns in any po-
litical almanac. The time for rea-
soning on issues is pretty well past
1t is now a question, admitting that
the voters have made up their minds,
of determining what it means for
them to make up their minds.
Perusal of the political statistics
of the country answers that ques.
ton. The political mind of this
country is Republican. Four years
ago that mind failed to register. II
is going to register this year.

WHEN DAME NECESSITY URGES

Ever since it began to be noised
about that dyestuffs were going to
be scarce and high, there has been q
tendency to bring marvellous colors
into vogue. Last spring and summer
saw milady arrayed in tints that for
merly she would have scorned. Now
it is announced that the most vernal
OF greens, the yellowest of yellows,
the acutest of reds, are to be the
fashion next spring. Makers of dyes
SO goes the pretty tale-have been
compelled to reorganize their brews
repeatedly in order to get the shades
and colors sharp and dazzling
enough to satisfy the styles de-
mands.
1t might be assumed that, just
when coloring matter was positively
not to be had for love or anything
less than all the money, the ladies
had insisted that they must have the
most gaudy array of colors. Prob
acly the dear ones themselves fondly
and fatuously suspect that they did
it. But, if common report in certain
trade circles may be credited, they
had nothing at all to do with it. In
stead of leading, they followed. Par
ticular shades and tints that could
still be produced most easily and in
extensively were taken up and ex-
plotted. They were made fashion
able by sheer power Of bootstrap
tugging; lifted right into the height
of popularity by main strength. The
difficult, rare. and expensive colors
disappeared. They were not pushed.
The buyer must perforce choose
among the things that were laid be-
fore her. She took the things that
served her purpose best, made them
fashionable, won the fight for be-
wildered dyemakers, and imagined
that she had set the pace! Not at
all: she had merely fallen into step
with the time that necessity set.

POLAND A NATION AGAIN

Announcement from Berlin that
Poland is once more proclaimed an
Independent nation is mildly inter-
esting; no more. The status Of Po-
land will be determined after the
war, by the council Of the nations
that will also fix the boundaries of
European countries, decide what is
to become of Africa and Oceania,
and possibly remake the govern
ments of some of the countries in
volved in the war. =
The Emperors of Germany and
Austria long ago announced their
purpose to restore ancient Poland.
Nobody knows, however, what an
cient Poland means. The Teutonic
pronunciamento does not indicate
what the boundaries are to be. Rus
STA is not party to the new ar
rangement; yet large part of what
for generations constituted Poland
is yet in Russian hands. Lithuania
is Russian; it was Polish. The Bal.
tic provinces were Polish; they are
still in large part in Russian hands
Galicia is divided between Austrian
and Russian occupation. Yet of all
the parts of that Poland which
Peter, Frederick, and Maria There's
partitioned, Galicia is the one that
has been best governed, the one that
would be least likely now to wish fol
restoration of the ancient state.
Sentiment will have to be laiC
aside when it comes-not during the
war, but in the calculating mood Of
ter-the-war-to determining what
shall be done about Poland. Most Of
the demand for restoration of tn,
ancient kingdom comes from people
who are ignorant of the truth abou
Poland. Whether there is a Polisl
people left, in any territory that car
/ be set off within metes and bounds
is question of grave doubt. To re

True Principles Of Socialism De-
scribed in Answer To Maryland
COMPANY Argument,

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
J. A. Harron. OF Hyattsville. Md. In
circular letter 10 the voters of the Fifth
Maryland district. makes the following
statement:
MIR. Raiston believes in principles OF
Socialism. This means in a broad sense,
that no one should have more than an
other. In other words. you might WORK
fortunate enough to save UP small
amount which would ordinarily be put
aside for n rainy day, you would
BIO required to divide up a part OF
your money going to the Fellow
who did not work at all. or course.
there might he arguments In favor OF
this principle OF Socialism. but for my
part I prefer to work for myself and
keep what ] earn"
A study of Socialist doctrine fails
10 disclose any such principle as that
which MIR. Harron states. In fact the
Socialist contention seems to be that we
quit dividing up. The Increased cost Of
living Is merely the part of your money
that goes to the fellow who did not
work at all, according to tho Socialist.
II. for instance. the normal price of a
bushel of potatoes IL 81 and this price
Is arbitrarily inflated to sl.O. 1t Is evil
dent that you have divided UP with
some one TO the extent of 80 cents when
you buy the potatoes-anyhow Aour 20
cents Is gone. II this isn't dividing up
It's something just as bad, is the claim
Of the Socialist. What difference does
it make whether you call 1t dividing up
or manipulated market?-you1l never
SEQ your bits again-and you're
lucky if the bushel H. all potatoes.
Against this the Socialist claims that
every one shold receive the full value
OF what he produces II he produces
much, let him have it: If he produces
little. it's his: II he produces nothing,
give II to him. Socialism. its advocates
assert, will abolish dividing up in all
its many forms and assure to the
worker as near the exact value of his
product as II Is possible for human In
genuity to determine.
Thus the Socialists say they are try
ing TO do one thing. and Mr.. Harron
says they are trying to do the exact
opposite. We can hardly suppose that
the Socialists. who number about
l,0O0009 In this country, don't know
what they are doing. nor can We sup
pose that a man of Mr.. Harron's stand
ing willfuIly mlsrepresents the case. or
that he would allow letter to go out
before he had verified its contents.
There must be an error somewhere.
Can The Times throw any light on
the question?
