Full Democratic Control.

Yesterdays organization of the House
continues the democracy's control of the
government. A democratic President
and democratic Congress will direct
matters during the coming two years.
The credit of whatever success is
achieved will go to that party. The
blame of any failure will be charged up
against it Four of the five so-called
independents voted for Mr.. Clark.
Mr. Martin of Louisiana, about whose
attitude some doubt had existed, lined
up with the democrats. As sugar was
no longer menaced, thanks TO turn in
affairs not on the democratic program,
he yielded to the lure of old associa-
tions and returned to his former friends.
From business point of view, it was,
temporarily at ieast, a safe vote.
The support Mr.. Mann received was, in
the circumstances, most complimentary,
and must have been most gratifying to
him. The member, Mr. Lenroot, picked

What War Will Mean.

Often has it been asked what will a
declaration of war with Germany mean.
The President, in his address to Con
gress, answers that question in full
terms. He says that it will involve
''the utmost practical cooperation in
counsel and action with the governments
now at war with Germany" That means
that in all practical respects the United
States will stand in the lines of the
allied nations Of Europe now fighting
the central powers. Does this mean the
sending of an army into France to plant
the standard of America on the battle
line? That must remain for later de-
cision. Does it mean sending the
American navy into the war zone to
hunt down the pirate submarinesF That
is matter of war strategy resting with
those most competent to determine the
effectiveness of such a measure.
The President leaves no question,
however, on two points. The acknowl-
edgment of state of war with Ger
many would involve the extension of
large credits to the allies-we may say,
in fact, our allies-and supplying them
with the materials of war which they
can obtain only from us or by our
assistance. Meanwhile, we must organ
ize and mobilize all the resources of
the country to supply those war ma
terials for ourselves and others and
serve the incidental needs of the nation.
Most pointedly will the acceptance Of
this responsibility involve the immedi-
ate full equipment of the navy and
the addition to the armed forces Of the
United States of at least 100000 men.
chosen on the principle of universal
liability to service, and the authorize
tion of subsequent additional incre-
ments Of equal force so soon az they
may be needed and can be handled in
training.
Nothing in the Presidents speech sug-
actual limit to the extent to which the
United States should 60 in prosecuting
the war that has been thrust upon it by
Germany's actions. He says, indeed,
1--WE are now about to accept the gauge
of battle with this natural foe to liberty
and shall, if necessary, spend the whole
force of the nation to check and nul!ify
its pretentions and its power" He
says, in conclusion:
"To such a task we can dedicate our
lives and our fortunes. everything that
we are and everything that we have,
with the pride of those who know that
other day has come when America is
privileged to spend her blood and her
might for the principles tina. gave her
birth and happiness and the peace
which she has treasured God helping
her, she can do no other"

onded his nomination to the speaker
ship, and all but five of the republicans
recorded themselves in his favor.
The value Of this lies in the fact that
Mr.. Mann will again be the minority
leader in the House-a place he has
filled with great service to his party
and credit to himself. His work in the
Sixty fourth Congress was factor in
the appeal Of his party in last years
congressional campaign, with the result
that the democratic majority in that
House was wiped out, and an even break
with the democrats secured in the new
House. That his work in the present
House will show the diligence, the watch
fulness and the capacity exhibited in
the last is certainty.
For the present, partisanship will not
show. The war will hold that in check,
in allegiance. But, later, at the regular
session beginning in December, when do
mestic questions will perforce have to
be considered, party divisions will ap
pear and enter into the reckoning Then
We shall see Mr.. Kitchin on the one
side and Mr. Mann on the other-both
competent men of convictions-contest
over matters Of party weight and prin
ciple, and lead their followers into old
fashioned party action. And the coun
try will benefit from such encounters
as it always does from straightforward
energetic party warfare.

To tell his little story,

Endeavoring to re-christen

New problems to unravei.

With sacred meaning for us all!
