Yesterday at the Polls.

1t is within the record to say that
there are no surprises in the elections
returns. Republican success in Massa-
ehusetts was assured. A mixed result in
New York-Tammany triumphant in the
big town, and the republicans in the
state-was expected, and achieved. That
the republicans in Maryland were strong
and unusually web organized and well
strated at the polls. That the repub-
lieans would carry the democratic city
of Louisville, notwithstanding appeals
in the Presidents name, seemed likely,
and they did So That the republicans
would win in Philadelphia, notw;th-
standing the scandal they we're carry

Our First Warship Lost.

The first American warship lost in the
submarine zone is one of the smaller
craft, a converted yacht, a unit of the
naval patrol that has done such valuable
work in conveying transports and mer-
chantmen since our entry into the fight.
Unhappily twenty-one lives have been
sacrificed, and thus we have the second
considerable casualty list of the war to
record. Considering the number Of ships
the United States has on patrol in the
submarine zone it is remarkable that SO
few have been struck. One of the de-
stroyers was recently torpedoed, but
made port with the loss of only one man.
A continuation of the present percentage
Of rea casualties will carry us through
with a comparatively small naval less.
Yet the sinking of the Aleedo is to be
dep1ored, and the men who lost their
lives on her are mourned and honored
as brave seamen who did their duty gal
lantly.

The Isalian Retreat.

Ita1y's withdrawal from the Taglia-
mento line is discouraging to the allies.
but it is not necessarily indicative Of dis
aster. Everything points to strategic
movement to stronger position, and if
the withdrawal was effected without loss,
as appears now to be the case, Cadorna
may actually have improved his posi-
tion. by yielding ground. The passage
of the Tagliamento appears to have been
due to sudden subsistence Of the flood
upon which the Italians were reckoning
to hold the Germans in check until the
defensive line could be stiffened and re-
Endorsements received. Now the line is
to be formed on the Livenza, toward
which Cadorna's forces are Withdrawing
Should this line not hold the next nat
ural barrier would be the Piave river,
which is the last possible boundary be-
yond Venice. Should this be in turn
carried a stand could hardly be made
east of the Musone, which enters the
Adriatic at Venice. Cadosna has thus a
number of river positions in reserve,
provided he can withdraw from one to
another successfully in good order. His
evident policy is to gain time in the
hope of securing reinforcements and
meanwhile to shorten his line. This lat
ter object is being accomplished as he
falls back, swinging his left flank toward
the south. Eventually it may rest upon
Lake Garda, with his line formed on
the AGige His chief danger is in that
quarter, for his right flank is firmly an
chored on the Adriatic, where it is as
sisted by the naval forces. 1t must be
assumed that reinforcements are being
sent to Italy's aid, and it is to be hoped
that the United States is taking part in
this movement to stiffen the italian line,
which must be held lest Germany score
a decisive victory on the southern front,
which may indefinitely prolong the war

Suffrage Wins in New York.

| Imports mt not only in itself but in
the effect it must have upon all other
parts of the country, the heavy major
ity cast in New York state for woman
suffrage yesterday is one Of the most
striking features of the days elections.
Defeated on the last submission Of the
question to the people by q majority
of about 10000, the equal suf-
frage amendment has now been ratified
by a margin of over 100000, indicating
tremendous change of sentiment. This
is the more gratifying to friends of the
enfranchisement Of women in view of
the adverse vote cast by Maine in Sep
tcmber. 1t is easily the most notable
victory that has yet been won for suf-
frage in the state-by-state campaign,
for it puts the greatest state in the
Union in the suffrage column and breaks
the solid east in respect to enfranchise-
ment.
This victory for women's votes proves
that suffrage can be won by argument
and persuasion and demonstration with
out recourse to the militant methods that
have actually worked more harm than
good to the suffrage cause. Undoubtedly
the movement for the national amend
ment will be accelerated by this triumph
at the New York polls. Congress cannot
fail to be impressed by the spectacle of
New York voting SO strongly in behalf of
the women, whose equitable demand is
that they be admitted to an equal part in
the government which they are support
ing so Loyalty and SO efficiently.
Unquestionabiy the vote in New York
was affected favorably to the suffrage
cause by the splendid patriotism which
the women, not only of that state, but
of all other states of the Union, are dis
playing in daily practice in this pres
ent national crisis. Women are taking
their places in the zones Of danger with
the men. They are performing valu-
able services in all lines of business and
industry. They are upholding the gov
ernment by their performances and their
example and their words, and it is fit
ting that they should now receive this
vote of confidence from the people of
the greatest state.

A military reliance on "frightfulness"
went out of date when the Chinese war
riors found that evil smells and diabol-
ical noises were not effectual against an
enemy. Physical cruelty proved its in
efficiency when the sayages were COM
PEELED to relinquish scalping and burn
ing at the stake. Horrors may stimulate
horrors in kind as necessary to impress
the minds of those who attach so much
importance TO- them. "Frightfulness"
has never checked the purposes Of brave
and enlightened nations. "Frightful-
ness" is an exploded fallacy, along with
the Polynesian theory that the boldness
and endurance of an enemy may be alb

Organize and Americanize.

The practical work of organizing the
District forces in a campaign to secure
a constitutional amendment for national
representation for the residents of the
ten miles square has begun. The Board
of, Trade has taken the initiative by ap-
proving, through its directors, joint
resolution which, with the concurrence
otithe Chamber of Commerce, viii create
a loint committee to secure through con-
sttutional amendment this national rep
resentation. Both the Board of Trade
ana the Chamber Of Commerce have in
ths recent past unanimously indorsed
the proposed constitutional amendment
AMI the concurrence Of the directors of
both organizations in cooperation to
facilitate the adoption of this amend
ment was and is assured.
The joint committee, composed at first
Of representatives Of the board and the
chamber, is to enlarge its numbers until
every representative citizens organiza
tion of Washington which indorses the
constitutional amendment shall have
equitable representation upon the joint
committee. The whole strength of Wash
ing:on, organized and unorganized,
should be massed behind this just and
wise proposition.
In the recent liberty loan campaign
WashinEtonians demonstrated not only
national patriotic spirit and strong civic
pride, but notable capacity for power
fully effective organization. Washing
tom will organize itself no less thorough
ly and effectively to Americanize the
seat Of government than it has done to
preserve the nation and to extend the
principles Of democracy over the auto
cratic world. 1t fights in the world war
to democratize others. 1t will fight in

eratlze and in vital respects. to Ameri-
canixe itself.

professional politics. It is Of the kind
that counts. Sometimes it counts for
good, sometimes for bad. But, one way
or the other, it counts. It represents
untiring industry and watchfulness. 1t
shows the hands Of men, who, with the
latest information and a knowledge Of
how to use it, are always on the job.
Reform movements too often show
lack of this spirit. They get late
start They are too often under the di-
rcction of amateurs, or of veterans out
of practice. The result too often is that
of a clash between militiamen and regu-
lars. Seasoned fighters are always dan
gerous They are familiar with all the
latest modes of conflict They keep their
hands in, steadily.
1t is for this reason that, as rule,
professional politicians are Indifferent
to public criticism. They know their
power, and its value. They are in request
for their skill and knowledge when
stakes are big and reforms are under
discussion. 1t pays thcE, to keep in
trim. and ready at any time for action.
Politicians of this kind are, as a rule,
too old for army service. They are
not assoeiable with work in the trenches.
They, with other men, have their pride
of country. But they know but one
thing-politics- -and also know that how
ever high war excitement may grow, or
however intense war activities may be-
come, politics in this country win re-
main in the scale. and that those who
understand politics will find work for
their busy hands to do.
