A DEMOCRATIC CONFESSION

The Democratic organ of this city
comedies there VIII De a significance
attached TO the result OF the special
election in the Second Congregational
district as indicating the sentiment
of West Virginia upon questions 20 be
decided by the voters next November. o.
Then II goes to work to fix conditions
dependent on that significance. The
Republicans must show a plurality In
excess OF normal" to be Justified IN
proclaiming their success as "sienif.
icant victory" This is nothing more
than confession on the part Of the
organ of the utter hopelessness %
the Democratic cause. and. We must
say. an unusual and refreshing exhibi.
ton OF candor on its part.
IL is surprising. too. that the Demo
cratic organ comedies that the sue
cessive elections of Democrat to
represent that district was due en-
tirely TO the widespread personal
popularity" of the late CONGRESSMAN
Brown. That is partly true only. Inc
main reason OF Republican default
in the Second district was the unfor-
tunate division I'm the party, which was
also responsible for the election of
President Wilson. Happily that diyi.
sion no longer exists. and We feel
pretty safe in assuring out Market
street neighboT that the plurality IN
excess of normal will be Of propo-.
tons sufficient to convince II OF lis
significant character,
The most interesting feature Of IN,
candor OF the Democratic organ is ite
unqualified admission that the politi.
cal sentiment OF the district has been
misrepresented through the fuke cleo
ton OF Democrat, That is painfully
true, and confederation of what The
lntelligencer has been contending al
along. not only with regard TO the
Second but the great industrial FIRST
district, where the same conditions
have obtained But % is now frankly
admitted that both are normally Re.
publican. and that with reunited
party they will no longer be misrep-
resented in Congress. What puzzles
Us is how In the world our Market
street contemporary ever come 10
guess It. or what has cousplred 10
give 10 such a clear " ION.

II is inevitable that the air
should BE- filled with rumors of
foreign influence az work in Mex.
leo. IL IL. in the first place. not
ungrateful 10 our sense of i'm
portance to believe that Euro
pesn or Asiatic powers. or both
even in the midst of the anXieties
OF the great war, have their eyes
on US and have money and genius
TO spend in embarrassing Us.
In the second place. the Ameri-
can people are passing through
period of morbid sensitiveness.
one might almost say We are tenn
porarily afflicted with a kind OF
national paranoia. We see con
spirator behind every bush We
detect DARK intrigue in every
alley. Plots and treason stalk
in tall uncials in our sensational
press. and our best friends are
daily exposed as secret agents and
foreign spies What is more like
IN than that German money
financed Villa or that Japanese
officers disguished as MeXicans
led the expedition?
There H. some slight difficulty
IN making up ones mind precisely
who the culprit Is or who the
culprits are. Seeing that Ger
many and Japan are al war with
each other. 10 would seem hardly
likely that they COllaborated IN
this particular enterprise Nor is
u easy TO understand why both
of them should be open. and equal
~ open. to the suspicion. Surely,
a sane man mi-ht reason. IL n is
true that Germany wishes TO en-
broil us with Mexico. 1t would
be 20 Japan's interests to keep
US at peace with Mexico. Or. II
IL is true that Japan is behind
the Villa outbreak. IL might ma
turally be expected that Germany
would regret its success.
The simple truth is that there
is not a particle of evidence to
suggest. much loss to Justify. sus-
picion that either Japan or Ger
many. or that any other foreign
Power. has had anything to do
with the affair II has been many
months now since anything pre-
tending 20 story Of a mysterious
japanese warship has come from
that fruitful land OF Nipponese
night mares. the west coast OF
Mexico. The most interchangeable
correspondents on the border have
not for months caught glimpse
Of an Oriental face.
As for the suggestion that the
Germans plotted tho Villa raid. the
sum total of the evidence tend
ing 10 show that Germany has
ever interested itself To the slight
esj degree in Mexican affairs is a
letter seized by the English upon
the person OF Captain Won Papen,
late Military Atiache AZ Washing
ton. when he was returning TO
Germany This letter betrayed
the fact thai Won Papcn. who had
been in Mexico City for four
months in he spring Of 1913. had
then had higher estimate Of Gen
eral Huerta than was held by the

German Minister in Mexico. The
latter. Admiral Won Hintze. had
criticized Huerta as a drunkard
rufTian and had consistently sup
ported President NELSON'S position
In declining To recognize the aSsas-
sin of Madero as legitimate Pres
ident of Mexico. n was upon this
flimsy ground that an effort was
made TO build mp a legend 10 the
effect that the German Govern
ment had. later. brought Huerta
back 10 America and sent him 10
the border. where he was arrested
before he did any mischief II
can only be on the absurd evil
dence OF this inconsequenual let
ter that the story Is further de-
Neloped 10 the point OF insinuat-
ing that tn Germans melted Villa.
Suspicious. either in the direc-
lion OF Japan or OF German, are
not only equally gratuitous but
preposterOus. Japan H. too anN-
ious over affairs in China tn
waste any time plotting in Amer
lea. Germany Is too anxious to
maintain peaceful relations with
the United States TO run any risk
Of cOnspiring for our embarrass-
ment. II the German Embassy
At Washington Is anNiOusly sole
itous for anything. "a is to main
tain itself on a footing of the
warmest nature possible in the
midst OF all the perpleNities of a
critical situation. And certainly
II the excellent Count Won Bern
storff knows anything. he knows
that the one thing which would
most bitterly anger the American
people would be any attempt TO
interfere in our relations with our
troublesome neighbor To the South.
The notion that Germany would
have anything TO gain by embroil-
ing Us with Mexico is an idle one.
based ON the superstition that. in
the event of Mexican war. the
AmeriCan-made ammunition now
going 10 the Allies would be re-
tanned an dused at home. The
fact is the quantity of ammunition
that our diminutive army would
use up IN fighting MeNicans would
w as uhlNlib IMPAIRED Win Inc
enormous output of our ammuni-
ton factories. Furthermore. our
army would have no use whatever
for the chief item which our fac
tories are now supplying the
Allies. narmely. shells for big
guns. II is impossible 70 see
what Germany would gain BY
Mexican war. u is impossible to
believe that either Germany OF
Japan has ever had a notion OF
promoting one.
The fun, perfect and sufficient
explanation of the Villa attack on
Columbus is found in the fact that
the bandit CHEZ needed A new
issue upon which 10 reunite a scat
tered following. II il could tempt
an Americans army To invade
Mexican territory. IL had found a
promising issue. II is idle to hunt
a supererogatory explanation when
you have one already, evident, ade-
quate and complete.

Big things have been planned for

entirely of union musicians, will toot

and even those who are cursed with

there from the sheer patriotism. The
parade will wind up with crowd OF
