A Major Risk.

Commenting on the Presidents let.
ter craving the support" OF New Jer-
sey voters for Democratic Senatorial
candidates LA MONTE and HENNEssY
the Newark Evening Ne,cs says :
One Of the major risks the Presi-
dent then assumes in making this
letter public is that the ensuing cleo
ton may not really have the meaning
that he has made It possible to draw
from It."
Our esteemed contemporary then
adds this comment:
Nevertheless. the issue having been
raised in this form. It will be necessary
for the voters Of New Jersey to con-
slider fully and fairly how they should
act especially concentrating attention
upon the issue whether the wllson ideals
OF peace and reconstruction SO command
their sympathy that they should vote
for the Democratic candidates on the
ground that by 90 doing they can leave
no question as to how they wish these
things carried out"
From this we gather that our New.
ark friend is deity inserting into the
midriff of the tissue" suggestion
that 1t Is possible for some voters of
New Jersey to have their own opin.
ion rs to how certain important politl.
cal and economic situations should
be worked out, and that those opin-
ions may not wholly be reflections OF
1.-The Wilson ideals Of peace and re,
construction"

The Austrian Armistice.

Austria Hungary, to use the name
Of a defunct nation which signed its
death warrant when 1t signed Its ulti-
matum to Serbia, had no other course
to follow than to accept the armistlce
terms to which Il has consented.
Many Of them are already in effect /:
the problem concerning some others Is
as much whether what Is left of the
empire has power to comply with
them.
Defeated in the field, riven by revo-
luton, the Emperor In panic agreeing
to every demand made on him, the
Hapsburg Empire Is now paying the
price of its blunders and brutality.

United States would impose on it could

Substitutions for the horse have so
far failed to diminish his number on
farms, where he is mostly bred. The
railroad did not verify the common
prophecy of the horses gloomy future
| nearly century ago, and many years
elapsed before the heyday of the BIZ
cycle arrived with its expected menace
to the horse. That machine of pleas
ure and toll diverted attention from
the first real antagonist of the horse,
the electric street railway, and this
was formidable one.' Street-car serv-
ice could not have been developed by
horses to the extent that it has been
carried by electricity, yet there was an
enormous displacement of horses
when they no longer pulled street cars.
1t is roughly estimated that 100000
horses would be required to move the
street cars now in city service, and
that farmers would need to keep a
stock of perhaps 100000 horses to
produce this supply. Yet, horses kept
