III. Ne. YORK sun.

After q great fight and great vic
tory for the safety OF democracy in
America short comment is welcome.
The Sun does not intend to enlarge
much upon the obvious. The response
of President Wilson's fellow country
men to his partican appeal of Ocfo-
ber 25--perhaps the most slaring tao
ticaI blunder in . career OF exceeding
political adroitness-was swift. un
Imistakabie and terrific in its impact
upon his personal ambitions
He asked in the name of the flag
for partisan control Of the represen-
tatives of the people. The nag smote
him; smote him not as President, but
as partisan leader.
He demanded as party leader the
undivided mastery of legislative proc
esses. pleading that in grim times like
these scruples OF taste must not be
allowed to stand in the way of plain
speakfng. In the same spirit of grim
actuaiity his fellow countrymen gave
him day before yesterday some of the
plainest speaking which ever reached
the ears OF q partly leader in the
White House
His partisan control OF both the Sen
ate and House is overthrown. The

Board Of Health December 2, 1913.
Rev. Charles J. Armentrout of the
First Presbyterian church was in at
tendance at the council meeting Mon
day night and stated on behalf of the
Canon City Ministerial Association
that the churches were desirous of
|coopenting TO the fullest extent with
the health authorities in stamping out
the contagion, and will cheerfully ac-
quiese in any measures that may be
deemed necessary to that end Dur
ing the discussion of the epidemic it
was stated that it was impossible to
predict with any certainty how long
the Influenza visitation would last. or
what Developments might result from
it Under the circumstances. it was
agreed that no time could be fixed
when the prohibition on public gath
erinss would be cancelled. or when the
schools could be reopened. No inti-
nation was made that the order would
be lifted very soon.
About O'Clock Monday night
something went wrong" with the
electric lighting system. and for
short time the council chamber was in
darkness. Relief was obtained when
! a lantern was obtained from the frs
department to illuminate the sur
roundings For few minutes the
opaqueness of the council chamber
was OF the most impenetrable charac-
ter. 1t could be almost felt by its
denseness. and. for brief space Of
time put an end TO aidermanic discus
sion OF municipal affairs.

A. food map Of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat Of serious
diniculties and only q small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception Of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
In the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in different rela-
tion from the other nations to the peo-
pie of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations Of Belgium and northern
France and Is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
OF Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent In the extreme and
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude Of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she
was established once more In her own

billions Of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure In such q map for Ameri.
cans because there is no present indi.
cation that we shall be called on at all
tQ take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem If she Is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
Bile centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, oil Of which have been
maintained from American supplies
have sufficient food to meet Immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
GUS difficulties. The same Is true Of
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most Of Russia Is already in the
throes Of famine, and 10000, 900 people
there are beyond the possibility Of
help. Before another spring thou
sands Of them inevitably must die.
This applies rs well to Poland and
practically throughout the Baltic re-
