A Word of Thanks.

The Evening Star wishes to make
public acknowledgment of its debt of
gratitude to the faithful body of work
crs who have enabled it to perform
its duties to the public in the times of
stress from which we are now happily
emerging.
From the top story with the com
posing and stereotyping rooms to the
basement, where are located the press.
circulation and engineering depart
ments, through the news, editorial, ac
counting, advertising and business de-
partments, through all the branches of
what those who are engaged in pro-
ducing The Star are fond of calling
The Star family has run the same
spirit of earnest, willing and intelli-
gent service.
With reduced forces owing to the
paramount demands of the nation the
work has at all times been strenuous
and too often it has been very severe
As In the Army when the service of
regiment, brigade or division is
so marked that individuals cannot be
selected for especial honor the whole
body is collectively honored by eta
ton, so The Star wishes to express its
appreciation of most loyal service to it
and to the public, cheerfully rendered
under very trying circumstances.

Here then seems warrant for the be-
lief that the long session will shade
into the short, and that between now
and March 4 the debates of Congress
will afford "some mighty interesting
reading Likewise may some of the
votes recorded affect some very i'm
portant matters.
The new Congress will be available
for service at the Presidents call. At
airy time after March he can summon
it and have it organize for business.
The regular meeting day will be in De-
cember, nine months later.
The Presidents course in that mat
ter will necessarily be governed by the
developments of the next four months.
At present European conditions are
complicated in the extreme, and of in
innate concern to us. We must help
in their settlement. We have soldiers
in Russia. where today there is chaos,
and great numbers of them in France
near the borders of Germany, where
the fall of the imperial government
has caused great confusion. Who may
say therefore what the next few
months may produce in the way of the
national duty. and which Congress
will have to take into consideration.

receive their support in this third
race.
A large calculation was based on the
newly enfranchised voters. It was held
he had two strong claims on the
women. He had been an aggressive
advocate of their cause, and was en-
titled. as many thought, to much credit
for its success. He had likewise been
an aggressive advocate Of prohibition
a cause for which the women were sup
posed to have very strong sympathy.
But the women failed him. Had they
voted for him in numbers he would
have won.
The anti-prohibitionist were well
organized, and very active. They rep
resent large interests in the state. AS
q rule, they are shrewd and capable in
politics-good campaigners, and tire
less workers. Gov Whitman, by his
courageous course, had challenged
them, and they had accepted the chal-
lenge. 1t is easy of belief that they
poiled their full strength against him.
Then there was the third term is
sue, which, at the start, was made much
of by the democrats, and also by some
republicans. After the third nomina-
ton had been secured, the anti-third-
term republicans cancelled the issue,
and fell into line. The democrats be-
gan soft-pedaling. and in the closing
days of the contest nothing was heard
about the issue.
How far this change Of tactics was
dive to consideration for the national
administration, which had come to the
front for the democratic ticket, is a
question. With Mr.. Wilson strong
probability for third nomination to
the presidency, the stressing Of the
third terms question in the guberna-
torial race by the democrats might have
looked ungrateful, and in case of sue
cess proved embarrassing two years
hence.
There seems no likelihood now that
the New York delegation to the next
republican national convention will
present the name of Gov. Whitman for
the presidential nomination. The more
interesting question is, whose name
will the New York delegation to the
next democratic convention present if
Mr.. Wilson's name is not presented!

Rejoicing for Victory.

No doubt existed last night regard
ing the rejoicing of the people of
Washington over the great victory.
The preliminary and slightly prema-
ture celebration of last week did not
in the least detract from the enthu-
siasm Of the people or from their mani
festations Of joy. Rather was it to be
regarded as rehearsal for the big
event.
The days jubilation worked up
steadily, from a quiet morning to a
tremendous demonstration at night
which lasted until IL o'clock. To the
knowledge Of the signing of the armis-
tice, spread during the early hours,
was later in the afternoon added the
knowledge Of the terms themselves
terms so severe as to satisfy the most
ardent and to clinch firmly the fact
that a victory had been won.
Later there will be a more formal
demonstration of public rejoicing, and
arrangements are now making to that
end. But it was good to see the peo-
pie "loosen up" in their spirits last
night and express themselves freely.
The anxieties of many months had
slipped away and joy was given full
voice We as a people have not suf-
fered anything like as severely as those
Of other lands from the war, and
our rejoicing was not as deeply heart
felt as the rapture of the French or
the British or the Belgians or those
of the lands that have been ravaged by
the world storm. Still, our sons and
brothers and fathers and husbands are
over there in numbers and we have a
stake.
1t was victory jubilee, however.
not rejoicing over the return of
peace. 1t was a whole hearted exul-
tation for the triumph of the righteous
cause which this country has espoused.
1t was the voice Of the American peo-
pie raised in shout of triumph for
the defeat of the enemy that resound-
ed to the heavens last night. And it
was inspiring to hear it. That vast
volume of sound should be a pledge for
the future.

Congress.

Congress now, in circumstances of
momentous character. resumes it's knit
ting. Within weeks time two things
of very great importance have De-
CURED. A national election has been
held, and the republicans have won.
The great war has practically been
brought to an end. How will these two
things affect measures now pending
And what new measures may imme-
diately grow out of thems
The republican triumph is the sub
ieet of several interpretations. One is
that il calls halt on the colossal scale
of expenditures, and on the means at
present under discussion for raising
revenue. The country, it is contended,
looks to Congress-even to the present
Congress-to make changes in the di-
rection of retrenchment and reform.
True, the people voted before the
armistice was signed; but with the
close of hostilities plainly in sight.
The request for an armistice was a
confession that Germany was through.
The wars end means the advance
ment of the question of reconstruction.
That is a very comprehensive question,
and, in a measure, open to discussion
at once. The opportunity will prob
ably be improved on Capitol HiA The

Gov. Whitman's Defeat.

The apparent defeat Of Gov. Whit

1t was a surprise to both sides. His
friends were confident Of success, while
his opponents privately conceded his

organization he controlled. he had

American crowds are proverbially
good natured, but yesterdays crowd in
Washington was perhaps the best
natured on record. The police did not
desire to arrest people. People did not
desire to be arrested, and a most de-
sirabie mutual understanding was the
result.

Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores

may come from various causes
such AS a sluggish condition
of the system, imperfect
bowel and kidney action, in

may be inherited; but what
ever the cause the blood must
be purified before the body
can be healthy.
S. S. S. is a natural blood

Juices and extracts of roots,
herbs and barks of recogniz-

S. S. S. goes into the circula-

the blood and will do for you
what it has done for thous-

for those who are suffering

A course of S. S. S. will
prove to you its great effic-
