This is fortunate or unfortunate, ac-
cording to the point of view; altho,
for the administration it is the great
est of tragedies. We are told that
President Wilson, on his arrival in
Washington today, expressed great
concern for the political complexion
of congress. and he had reason to be
perturbed, for without the speaker
and the chairman of its various com.
mittees his hands will be tied. The
situation further shows the illogical
attitude Of Americans in voting.
Thousands Of persons cast their bal
lots for President Wilson for re-elec-
tion, evidently desiring to support
his policies, and then deliberately
voted for men who opposed his ideals
Of government--nullifying the effect
of their own votes. Tho enemies Of
the chief executive will rejoice at
the outcome, as it is equivalent al
most to his defeat, but it shows
nevertheless that the majority of the
people failed to use their heads when
they marked their ballots.-Evsning

A LAW THAT is COOLY
VIOLATED

Election betting here has been on
scale SO tremendous this year that
there should be serious consideration
of the question whether or not the
law which condemns and penalties It
should be allowed to remain on the
statute book. That it has become a
dead letter" and is ignored with i'm
punity is clear. 1t is violated with
neither compunctions Of conscience
or fear of punishment by great num-
bers of people, and although all con-
cerned in it nominaly lose thereby
the right to vote, not one of them, SO
far has been reported, was challeng-
ed at the polls or prosecuted In court
Yet the arguments against this
form of gambling are numerous and
strong, and nobody makes txp,,ci.
denial of their validity. If they are
not sound,. the law should be repeal.
ed; if they are, it should be enforced.
Election bets. or at least the ma
jority of those really large, cannot
claim tolerance even under gambling
principles, for the men making them
do not hesitate to use all of the pri-
vate information they can collect, and
that is held to be unfair in all ale
atory transactions.
That the information is not in
many instances the certainty it is
supposed to be .detracts nothing
from the dishonesty of using it, and
not one good reason or colorado ex-
cuse has yet been given why election
betting should not be treated as the
serious misdemeanor the law says it
is.-New York Times.

have been told that the law gave
them an eight-hour day and an eight
hour day is what they want not
necessarily a Limitation Of eight
hours as maximum period Of work,
but an eight hour day as a basis Of
wage calculation with overtime pay
at the rate now in effect. Here ia
abundant material for controversy
and the most unfortunate element in
the whole situation is that the presi-
dent has taken the stand that arbi-
tration is not an inalienable factor
in the rightful settlement Of indus
trial disputes.
We cannot blame the brotherhoods
for insisting upon an eight hour day
with proportionats pay for over tims.
That is what they were told the
Adamson law meant. and they wers
also told that arbitration was not ia
be insisted on in the contest for the
eight-hour day. They are fully justi-
fled in demanding from the Demo
cratic administration the fulfillmsni
of the promises that were made t.
them.
On the other hand we cannot blame
the railroad managers who insist
that they should know what the Law
means before they undertake to com
ply with its provisions. The cam
paign promises of the Democrats ar,
not binding upon the presidents oi
the railroads, and they are quit.
within their rights in insisting tha

GERMAN CONSUL AND AIDES
TO TRIAL IN BOMB CASE

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-Trial
of members of the German consular
corps and others on charge of viola
ting American neutrality is to begin
today in the Federal District Court.
Charges of dynamiting barge load
ed with Russian munitions. and of
sending supplies from here to Ger
man squadron are made against
these defendants; Franz Bopp, Ger
man consul general; Baron f. H. Won
Shack, vice-consul; Baron Wilhelm
Won Brincken, German military at
tache; Charles C. Crowley, German
consulate secret seryice man; Marga-
ret w. Cornell, Crowley's secretary;
and a number of business men.
The dynamiting of the munitions
occurred in May 1913, as the barge
was being prepared to lighter the
munitions for shipment to Validvo-
stok. The Government contends that
the explosion was caused by a bomb
planted at the instance of the defend
ants. The defendants deny guilt.
The second charge, which has been
combined with the first, is that the
German consulate officials with local
business men, sent the steamer Sac
ramento to sea with u cargo of coal
for the vessels of Admiral Won
Specs squadron, later destroyed in
the Falkland Islands battle. The
Sacramento afterward interned in a
South American harbor.
Strenuous objection was made by
the defense to the combining of the
two cases. 1t was contended that the
charges are vastly different, and
that by combining them, the work of
securing fair jury is rendered vast
ly more difficult, owing to increased
occasion for supposed prejudice
against Germans.

the bicho game will be legalized and
will be played openly instead of un.

LAW, ORDER AND GOOD
TEMPER

The tension of the past three days
over the uncertainty of the presi-
dental election has been attended
by no exhibitions of rancorous
clamor on large scale, by very few
foolish threats and by no outbreaks
Of passionate excitement.
The general temper of the people
in each Of the great pSrties has been
patient and under admirable restraint
considering the disappointments and
vexations which they all have had to
undergo, in some degree, over the re-
markable ups and downs in the
claims and estimates
The reign of law and order, an
ungrudging willingness to acknowl-
edge fair and legal defeat, has been
the prime consideration of most men,
whether Republicans or Democrats
in the midst of the sensational un-
rest.
No matter how small the majority
in the electoral college may finally
prove to be, even if only one vote,
that one vote, provided it shall be
the product of square count, must
be, and will be treated with as much
respect, in heing the constitutional
will of the people, as if it were a
thousand or million.-Pittsburg

SHAVED A QUARTER MILLION

LORAIN, o., Nov. II. = When

quarter of a century and saw a quar-
ter of a million sets of whiskers that

Not exactly a quarter, either, 243,-

LETTER FROM THE TRENCHES.

A few days ago Mrs. Ann Zones of
this city received letter from her
brother-in-law, British soldier, who
is fighting in the trenches, "Some-
where in France" Relative to the &C.
tivities OF the army the writer said:
1--WE made raid on the German
trenches the other night and it prov
ed successful. Our artillery lombard
ed their lines before we went over
and inflicted heavy losses on them.
During the bombardment many OF
them had gone to their reserve hne,
or if not there are not many Of them
up here--I rather believe the former
as this has been the hottest place on
the Front. When we entered their
trenches there were not many there
and the boys accounted for all they
could find. The Germans had the
wind up proper.

THE IMPENDING STRIKE.

1t suited the purposes of certain
Democratic politicians and of certain
Democratic labor leaders to make be-
lieve that the Adamson law had ac-
complished something in the way of
limiting the hours of work for rail-
way train crews, or of increasing
their wages, and it is claimed that a
considerable number of votes were
turned to President Wilson on that
account.
Now that the election is over we
are confronted with the legal and in
dustrial aspects of the Adamson law
rather than its political aspect, and
the contemplation is not pleasing.
So far as the legal meaning is con-
cerned, the most expert readers of
the law are Of doubtful and various
opinions, and the only way in which
final and definite decision can be
gained is by court decisions at the
end OF long and tedious course Of
litigation. The Chieftain's opinion is
as it has been from the beginning
that the law is meaningless and that
it was made SO Intentionally with the
purpose of deceiving the brotherhoods
