Earlier Store Opening.

It is gratifying that health condi-
tons have so closely returned to nor
NAL that the order Of the Commission
ers for the late opening Of the stores
can be safely rescinded. The mer-
chants of the city complied with the
emergency rule with commendable
unanimity and in praiseworthy spirit
Of acquiescence. The change meant
a radical shift in their system, but,
in recognition Of the need, they pa
triotically adjusted and the public in
turn accepted the conditions. With
the subsistence Of the epidemic the
need passes and tomorrow morning
the stores will return to their former
schedules. Transportation facilities,
however, are still inadequate, and it
desirable that all persons who travel
downtown" to shop should time
their trips to avoid the morning and
afternoon congestion. Never before
has it been so important to "shop
early" for Christmas, to lessen the
rush of the pre-holiday period.

Socialism does not necessarily imply

part Of the socialist party in this coun-
try who hail the red emblem in pref

these represent the majority Of Aneri-
can socialists cannot be determined.
It is believed they do not, and that
only small number in this country
profess the principles of what may be
broadly styled bolshevism. Whether
to allow this small faction to agitate
unnolested or to check it by direct
means is serious problem. Mayor
Hyian believes in the direct method Of
prohibiting the display of the banner
of bolshevism in public as at least .

Speed the Casualty Lists!

Gen. March announces that up to
the signing Of the armistice casualties
among American troops in France
totaled 2s5,l17, comprising 36l54 killed
in action and dead Of wounds, 1851
dead Of disease, 1904 dead Of other
causes, a total Of $3.50 who lost
their lives, while l79, 1915 were wounded,
2,l63 were captured and l160 were
missing.
Including the list published yestef-
day, 1888 have been reported as
killed in action, 6,4l2 as dead Of
wounds, 1926 as dead Of disease, and
1902 as dead Of accident and other
causes, leaving 1850 dead in action
or from wounds, .62s5 dead Of dis
ease and S02 dead Of other causes yet
to be reported. total Of 2o,676 dead,
remaining to be announced by name.
Every possible effort should be ex-

not be choked with the names Of those

P0LlTICS,AT HONE
The War and 1920.

What effect will the war have on the
campaign Of 1927 Some Of the Presi-
dents friends who desire to see him
lead his party again are Of opinion
that it viii have a considerable effect.
They reason in this way: Americas
part in the great struggle was under
his direction. The war was won, and
the American troops distinguished
themselves. Two years hence the
story will still be fresh, the country
will not by that time have entirely
sposed Of all matters produced by
the war, and so the people will cotton
to the suggestion Of Mr.. Wilson for a
third term.
For illustration, the campaign Of
1900 is cited Pres; dent Mckinley had
conducted successful war. Although
the struggle had closed two years be-
fore, the story was still fresh in the
public mind, and Mr. Mckinley in his
second campaign got the benefit of it.
There are other tn ngs, however, to
be taken into account. One very i'm
portant thing is that the Mckinley
administration had been, on general
grounds, conspicuous success. Bust
ness, which, as an inheritance from
the Cleveland administration, had at
the start been greatly depressed, re-
vived under the Mckinley policies,
and the country had enjoyed three
years Of exceptional prosperity-the
healthy prosperity of peace times The
war times had lasted only a few
months.
Another thing is that Mr.. Bryan was
again the democratic candidate True,
many democrats who had bolted his
nomination four years before were
now supporting him. Still, the odor Of
free silver was ON his garments, and
the business world distrusted him. It
was not the war alone, therefore, that
explained Mr.. McKinley's easy tri-
umph that year. He was fortunate,
both in his general achievements and
in the character of his democratic op-
ponent. He proved irresistible at the
polls.
IF Mr.. Wilson again leads his party
he will encounter the third term ira
dition Has that been impaired by re-
cent eventss The times are new, and
many old things have passed away.
Evidently, the men who are booming
Mr.. Wilson for the third nomination
have in their minds sent the third term
tradition to limbo. They seem con-
WINGED that the country has outgrown
it, and that conditions now, differing
widely from all previous conditions.
must be met without regard to tradi-
tions of any kind. If they succeed
with their plans, the campaign Of 1920
will be exceptional and strenuous in
every way.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-11-24
The South and the Presidency.

The Star, the other day, in referring
to the mention of Col. House in con-
nection with the presidency, stated
the fact that the democracy since the
civil war has never taken its presi-
Dental candidate from the south. Mr..
Wilson is Of southern birth, but left
that section many years ago, and en-
tered politics and made his mark there
as resident and citizen Of northern
state. He was nominated for President
as Jerseyman, not as virgin'an.
Indeed, there is no risk in the asser-
ton that had he remained in Virg; MIA,
and performed as notable service
there, both in the field Of education
and in that of politics, as in the state
Of his adoption, he yet would never
have reached the White House.
Will this barrier, so to say, dis
appear as one Of the results Of the
European war; The north and the
south have been fraternizing in the
fighting with the utmost cordially.
The southern troops accepted the
designation "Yanks" with the best of
feeling Not a trace of sectionalism
has shown at any time in any way
since the first American troops landed
in France.
Something like this occurred in the
war with Spain. Men from the north
and men from the south fought to-
gether in Cuba; and ex-Confederate
officers wore Uncle Sans uniform
there and here at home. Gen. Joe
Wheeler distinguished himself afresh
as a brave and resourceful command
er; and a humorous story-a pleasant
Northumberland that, in the first
engagement, when he had located the
Spanish lines with his field glasses, he
shouted. "There are the Yankees, boysl
Give 'em helli"
There was some talk then Of the
probable effect Of this inspiring union
on our politics. But nothing came of
it. The democracy, for the old reason,
continued it's policy of leaving the
south out Of the calculation when con-
sidering its national leadership. In
1900 it picked Mr.. Bryan again; in
1904, Judge Parker, a New Yorker; in
1908. Mr.. Bryan for the third time, and
in 1919. Mr.. Wilson Of New Jersey,
over Mr.. Clark Of Missouri, and Mr.
Underwood Of Alabama.
Should the barrier in question dis
appear - . fruit Of this latest war,
some very stable presidential timber
would be brought into market. There
are some very capable politicians in
the south who have filed high Offices
in Congresses and cabinets and in
dipiomacy-but have never had look
in at democratic national conventions
because Of the geographical reason
mentioned.
