THE ELECTION.

The American people have selected
their representative in the next
Congress and the Republicans have
majority of the House and may
have control of the Senate. The
balance between the executive and
legislative departments of the gov
eminent has been restored.
Republican congressman have
given unstinted aid to the President
in the conduct of the war and now
that they will have greater authority
and responsibility it is safe to say
that they will not betray the trust.
The election of a Republican Con-
gress means that the United States
Is still republic. Ever since the
Democrats came into power the gov
eminent has been sectional and par
tisan and, in spite of the old Demo-
cratic dogmas of states rights, there
has been an insidious drift toward
Capitalization of power in the execu-
tive. ..,....c
The people have repudiated Sec
tionalism and partisanship in the
formulation of national policy. The
election means that the United
States is to have a government of the
people, for the people and by the
people. - -.>.. q. ~,

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE
DONE, ..

When the Democrats came into
power in 1913, several colored men
were holding high offices at Washing
ton, including an Assistant Attorney
General, a Register OF, the Treasury
and an Auditor for the Navy, all ap-
pointed by a Republican president.
The Assistant Attorney General was
asked to resign a few days after
March 4; the Register of the Treas
ury remained in office for about two
months before he was called on to
walk the plank and the Auditor for the
Navy was permitted to draw his salary
about three months before he was
separated from the pay roll.
These men were regularly appointed
by Republican Presidents and con-
flrmed by the Senate. Their duties
were the same as those performed by
their respective predecessors and were
Ia no way segregated or confined.

John Stark, of New Hampshire, the

No one can be said to know any

Individual possibilities are demon

A Liberty loan bond is the safest

change it for less safe investment.
This lending one money on Liberty

DOUGHNUTS FOR DOUGHB0YS
From "Soup to Salvation" to "Piety
and Pies"

OF all the seven great war welfare
organizations combining forces for the
United War Work Campaign of Nov.
lib, none is more popular than the
Salvation Army, first in the field since
the first Salvation Army force of four
teen men and women landed in France
on August II, 1914. When the United
States got into the war, Salvation
Army action was just as prompt.
The Salvation Army, like the Y. M.
G. A., seeks to do for the boys what
ever needs doing It's workers supply
doughnuts, pies, coffee, chocolate, tea,
all sorts of physical comforts to the
soldiers, free at the front, again like
the Y. M. C. A., at small cost else
where, since they speedily learned
that the British and American soldier
resents any suspicion Of charity They
do mending, nursing, hospital orderly
work, where and whenever needed.
They keep the religious element al
ways in sight, but never intrude It;
they regard it always from the prac.
ttcal aspect: The old slogan of "Soup
and Salvation" has been replaced by
"Pies and Piety," or, as the soldiers
themselves put it, "Doughnuts for
Doughboys," but this represents but q
small part of the Salvation Army work.
The last to ask aid from the public,
the Salvation Army, which borrowed
money IN America, London and Paris
for its first overseas equipment, now
needs its pro rata share 81 the $780,
100000 asked through the United War
Work Campaign. ~

U. S. VOICES VICTORY S SPIRIT
BY James Cardinal Gibbons.

America, through her soldiers In
France, has voiced the spirit that leads
to victory. They are our SONS and
brothers,; flesh Of our flesh, and the
spirit that inspires them inspires us
also. We have sent them across the
sea to fight we have in heart and
in soul gone with them. We are de-
termined that they should know that
the people at home are fighting with
them, standing with them, shoulder
to shoulder. America in this war has
done what no other nation ever did.
She has carried the presence, the at
mosphere of home into the camps
across the seas, that everywhere the
soldier may realize there are fatherly
hands to help him, motherly hands to
console him, friendly hands to enter.
tain him.
