people OF the country approve and en-
dorse the administration. or whether
they prefer to have things managed in
different way, and by other hands.
The result is already evident on all
sides by a strengthening of the lines
of those who favor the President, and
call TO active work of all those citi-
zens who believe that the administra-
ton has done what is right, and is
entitled TO a vote of approval by the
people, and the election of a Congress
pledged beyond any manner of doubt
TO back up the President in carrying
out the plans which have been so sue
cessful up 10 the present time. No
matter what may be our personal
opinion of the several candidates for
Congress, TO be voted for next Tues
day, the Presidents manifesto puts
the issue so far above the question OF
personal likes or dislikes that all
those who really believe he should be
sustained in his work, are in duty
bound TO vote for the Democratic
nominees. The issue has been mar
rowed down so that il is really vote
for or against Mr.. Wilson. If we APP
prove his course, we should vote for
the Democratic ticket. If we disap-
prove. we should vote for the Republi
cans. There is no other way to look
at it. Personal likes and dislikes are
not to be considered in view of the
really great public question at stake.
Now that the Democrats, and those
citizens of Maryland who approve of
the President and his policy are be-
ginning to realize the real import of
next weeks election, there is appar-
emily an awakening among the voters,
and the indications are that all apathy
will disappear, and that reasonably
full vote will be polled. The only
hope the republicans had of success
arose from the indifference and lack
of interest on the part of the Presi-
dents friends and supporters. The
supporters of the administration are
in a large majority in this State. If
they vote, there is no doubt about the
election of at least four of the MEM
bers of the House, and considerable
hope as to the election of the entire
six men who comprise Maryland's
quota in the lower House at Washing
ton.
For Maryland to go back on the
President at the present time could
only result from the utmost indiffer-
ence on the part of those whose duty
it is to look after the transportation
of the voters to the polls, and prior
to that, careful explanation to the
careless and the ignorant of the one
real and vital issue involved in the
election,

To the Editor Of The EUening Capital:
The request of President Wilson 10
the people of the country to return a
Democratic Congress to Washington
at the election next week has proved a
veritabIe bombshell to the Republi-
cans. AS stated in your correspon-
dents letters from time to time since
last spring, the Republicans were
waging a gum-shoe campaign to carry
the next Congress and were hoping to
win a majority by their statements
that they were all back of the Presi-
dent Mr. Wilson does not believe
that they will be back of him in the
next Congress, should they have MAJ
jority, and therefore he asks the vot-
ers to take no chances, but TO elect
Democrats, who will be back of him
at all hazards, and TO make the Demo-
cratic administration a success be-
yond a doubt AS a result, all those
who favor the Presidents conduct of
the war and the civil affairs of the
country are expected TO go to the polls
and vote for the Democratic nominees
on next Tuesday. Lukewarm and in
different citizens who have forgotten
all about their political duties during
the recent excitement over the great
events of the war. are thus reminded,
that in the end, the voters in this
country are the real source of all
power, and that in the end the people
must decide all public questions at the
polls. Executives may come and may
go, may have their day of power in the
administration of the Government, but
the final source of all power of admin
istration, of management of civil and
military affairs of settling questions of
war and peace, is the people, as ex-
pressed by their votes at the polls.
the election next week would, there
FORE be rightly considered blow at
the prestige and authority of the
democratic President and as a vote of
lack of confidence in Mr.. Wilson's adj
of all public affairs. Up
TO this time the Republicans have been
trying to fool the people on the real
issues of the campaign. They have
been hiding their plans behind their
supposed loyalty to the President, but
Mr.. Wilson's published statements of
last week, and the historical replies
and attacks on him, called forth by
what he has said, have completely
unmasked them, and laid bare their
plans to the people. The election next
week will therefore show whether the

JONAH VARKK, "
MAID OF ORLEANS
French AS 1t Is Spoke" Is
Wierd And Wonderful Thing
Among American Soldiers
A LADY, NOT A MAN

Jonah Vark" some call the Maid of
Orleans. Still others, but that is
the story. French as it is spoke" is
weird and wonderful thing among
American soldiers arriving in France,
but they are rapidly developing into
linguists. Teaching them the lam
guage and customs of the French is
one of the duties assumed by the Y. M.
C. c., National Catholic War Council
knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare
Board and Salvation Army, the over
seas organizations of the seven merged
in the United War Work Campaign.
An American troop train bound for
the front had stopped in a city of
France. The soldiers were light ar
tillerymen. Their guns, cunningly
painted in the latest style of camou-
fiage, were blocked on fiat cars, each
car bearing an escort of Yanks. Other
cars were laden with caissons and
Chow" wagons, while a number of
box cars scattered through the train
housed yet more olive drab fighters.
The whole outfit was jubilant that
their training days were over and they
were at last on the way to where their
grim pets could bark defiance to the
enemy. Cheers and shouts rang TO
the station roof and the French waved
back and wished them bon voyage.
Whats the name of this placer"
yelled the soldiers, but the passengers
didn't understand the query.
In few minutes Y. NJ. C. A. man
came into view and the question was
howled at him.
Orleans" he replied. You've
heard of the Maid of Orleans? Well,
this is the place"
1.-The Maid of Orleans? Oh. you
mean Joe-Anne of Arc" spoke up the
historians of the party.
"Joe-Anne of Arc. Where do you
poor fish get that stuff, anyway? Have
you been in France three months
and don't know how to pronounce
single name. It's John Dark" and
the soldier speaker leaned back and
lit a cigarette with a Flourish indi-
eating that the amazing ignorance of
his companions bored him insuffer-
ably.
But the opposition had members, If
not knowledge, on its side and the
superior one was quickly buried under
a verbal barrage that had him grasp
ing.
Were talkin' about lady, not
man." was the chorus.
Fall OF and wake up, Who ever
heard of girl being called joint"
was the final clincher.
Then the diplomat of the party
chimed in.
What difference does it make how
you pronounce the name?" he queried-
Wasn't she the girl that stood the in
vaders of France on their beans? And
amt we on the way to do the same
thing?'

When has there been such cam

The FLU" has finished what the Lib

the firts half of the usual campaigning
time TO the Loan, ofiice-seekers now
find. in almost every community, that

opinion forbid all public gatherings

ing Of the accustomed type is thus
relocated TO the status of a nonessen-

In fact, the importance OF stump

Importance in recent years. 1t has
come TO have little value in itself,
serving chiefly as device whereby
speakers may, through the reporting
OF their speeches, reach the larger

They can do that now, and are doing
it. in direct statements and appeals.
The public seems content, and may
indeed be able to make up its mind
