mestic issues-prohibition, tho tariff and
the high cost Of living.
It was not necessary, but in the same

ness and the safety Of the country. Tho

ing in Indiana, with the two old parties
squaring off for action in old party
fashion. The war is not an issue there,
and should not be lugged in by visiting
stumpers. What the voters Of the dis
trict are called upon to declare is their
preference as between the two parties
on party issues-particularly the tariff.
Normally, the district IS republican, and
chances would appear to favor that party
in the contest.
While tho war is now tho overshadow-
ing topic in and out of Congress, and
being supported by both parties, it has
not obliterated party lines on party mat
ters. A good deal of party feeling re-
mains, and finds legitimate exercise. Or
ganization work has not been, and
should not be, relaxed. Party managers
are remembering that November Of next
year will bring national election Sec
ond in value only to the one scheduled
for November, 1920; and they realize
that the eighteen months between now
and the next congressional trial Of con-
clusions should be employed for all the
time is worth. And this is as true Of
one party as the other, and so true of
both, we shall witness some strenuous
politics as the days 60 by.

The Second Term and Patronage.

An interesting feature Of the patron
ago question growing out of the Presi-
dents second term has been reached.
This relates to whether appointments
made by him at the beginning of his
first term shall as they expire be re-
newed, or If not, why not.
Kentucky has just presented the first
case. The four-year term of collector
Of internal revenue expired, and a re-
newal Of the commission was sought by
Senator James, who had secured the
first commission.
But Mr.. Beckham, who had taken his
seat in the Senate since the appoint
ment was made, protested against the
proposed reappointment, on the score
that the man in Office was personally OBJ
jectionable to him. The protest won.
The man was turned down, and friend
Of Mr.. Beckham made collector.
It so happens, however, that this friend
Of the junior Kentucky senator is as OBJ
jectionable to the anti-Beckham faction
as the man turned down was to Mr..
Beekham and his friends. He is one of
the most accomplished and successful
politicians in the state, and intimately
associated with Mr.. Beckham's rise to
power, first in the matter Of the gov
ernorship, and then in the matter of the
senatorship.
Kentucky, it may be remembered
showed in the early stages Of the cam
paign for the presidential nomination
in 1912 an inclination toward Mr.. VIII
son, with Mr.. Beckham directing the
Wilson forces. Later, however, there
was a change to Champ Clark, and the
states delegation at Baltimore appeared
in the Clark column. But Mr.. Beckhan
remained Wilson man in his personal
agmpathies and Judgment. He voted

Registration Dsy.

For the first time in the history Of
the country young men between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty-one are
lined up today to register as possible
soldiers of the nation. Their names are
being enrolled under mandate Of law,
and from this roll will be selected those
who are to be enlisted under the Stars
and Stripes in the war for the defense
of the principles of liberty. 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 will be thus regis
tered today, and from these 65o0O0 men
will be chosen, those most physically fit,
those most free to go because without de-
pendents and those not needed in the
industries.
Preceding the registration there has
been some agitation on the part of those
chemically opposed to war and those
who for one reason and another ques-
tion the propriety of this country's en-
trance into the world struggle. Con-
sidering the great mass of the people
this reaction has been slight. The gov
eminent has met it promptly and eff
fectively and punishments will doubt
less quickly follow for those who have
undertaken to discourage registration or
who themselves refrain from enrolment.
It is a thrilling spectacle that the
country presents today, spectacle of
law, obedience and good citizenship.
These millions of young men presenting
themselves before the registrars are
splendid examples of American man
hood. They are the kind that makes
America strong and that constitutes this
country today probably the determin-
ing factor in the war that has lasted
nearly three years.
From the material thus enrolled today
will be formed an army, doubtless to be
supplemented as occasion arises by ad-
ditional drafts on the principle of Sc
lection. Every man will have an equal
chance to fight. There is no stigma in
the process. The men who, registering
mand Of the government because they
will be needed in the civilian ranks
more urgently than in the military.
Those who 60 into camp, perhaps eventu-
ally to the firing line in France, will
constitute an army of which this coun-
try will without question have reason
to be proud, an intelligent, efficient,
stout-hearted army, capable Of discharg-
ing any duty and meeting any danger.
Today's registration is long advance
toward universal military training in
this country in times Of peace after the
war. It makes for national efficiency,
an efficiency tempered by reason, not
the machine-ike efficiency Of the Ger
mans, which, lacking the true principle
OF national benevolence, is today a men
ace to the world.

Conscientious Directors. u

From the New York World
The conscientious objectors of this war
are not Quakers or members Of any other
sect. For the most part they are pro-
fessional agitators or social theorists
who are more concerned about self-ex.
ploitation than about the welfare oP
mankind. Many Of them are frankly pro-
German, and their conscientious obiec-
tions to war extend only to war that is
far as Germany wages war upon democ-
racy sAhey have neither objections nor
conscience.
