WHAT THE ELECTION MEANS

One fact, doubtless. will not be lost
sight of by our Allies in Europe, and
that is that the final approval OF
peace terms, in so far as the United
States is concerned. will rest with the
Senate Of the United States. and not
with President Wilson solely. That
Senate will be controlled by men, a
majority of whom will stand for the
kind Of patriotism and the American
ideals that Theodore Roosevelt and
VIM. H, Taft have represented during
the past four years. In other words,
if a vigorous policy Is sought by our
Allies in Europe. they are very much
more likely to have the endorsement
and approval Of the treaty-makins
power after March 1, 1919. than they
would have had under the other con-
ditions. We need not have any serl'
Gus alarm as to the Interpretation the
people of Europe will place upon
TUESDAYS election. The leaders OF
the Allied countries. as we'll as the
leaders of Germany, know the leader
ship of such men as Theodore Roose-
velt Henry Cabot Lodge and VIM. H.
Taft They know that in so far as
the election is concerned. 1t means the
speeding up Of American efforts, and
it means the earnest determination to
insist upon peace that will not only
be Just, but which in itself Will do
Justice.

A HIGH COMPLIMENT

One Of the most complimentary re-
sulrs Of the election, from an indi,
vidual standpoint, was the very fine
vote given to Hon. Jesse a. Bloch.
Republican candidate for the State
Senate. Mr.. Bloch had very strong
and popular opponent, who is we'll
known throughout the district, yet
Mr.. Bloch was victor by majority
Of close to two thousand. Mr.. Bloch
has made a fine record In previous
sessions of the Legislature; he is a
business man Of character. and the
First District will find in him a
worthy representative in the State
Senate.

A REBUKE TO PARTISANSHlP
IN THE WHITE HOUSE

President Woodrow Wilson made
personal appeal for Henry Ford's cleo
ton in Michigan. Nj. Wilson's en-
dorsements Of Mr.. Ford were numer-
GUS, noisy and noisome. The citizens
OF Michigan responded BY defeating
Mr.. Ford by very large majority
At the last moment Mr., Wilson de-
based himself and the Presidents
Office by making a personal appeal
: for the election Of c. ". Watson, OF
=, West Virginia. The most kindly
thing that could be said about that
act Is that Mr.. Wilson didn't know
the circumstances. and didn't know
the peculiar record Of the Democratic
party under Mr.. Watson's leadership
in this state. The voters Of West
Virginia responded by electing Mr..
! Watson's opponent BY a larger ma
iority than they have given to Re
publican candidate for years.
In Illinois, Mr.. Wilson'S particular
champion was James Hamilton Lewis,
{ he Of the pink whiskers. Mr.. Lewis
chief claim to fame during the six
years he has sat In the senate has
been a somewhat shadowy identltca-
ton as the personal spokesman of Mr.,
! Wilson. The voters Of Illinois re-
sponded by electing Mr.. Lewis oppo-
nent, Medill Mccormick, to the United
States Senate by very handsome
majority.
There were probably other Demo
cratic candidates for the Senate who
had Mr.. Wilson's personal endorse
ment The Intelligencer does not
.shave a complete record of the ill-ad-
Ayised letters with which the President
ssught to induce the American voters
to support partisan candidates. The
general appeal which Mr.. Wilson made
for the return Of Congress to be
dominated entirely by himself failed
TO produce the result he expected
sand, doubtless. contributed great
IDEAL to a contrary result.
e The rebuke which Mr.. Wilson has
sreceived was crushing, but 1t was
s3nvited.

! ANOTHER CROWNED HEAD
IN PERIL

81 The Grand Duchess OF Gutenberg
is likely to be added to the list OF
tscrowned heads who pass into oblivion
as a result Of the war. The House
ssof Nassau, which rules Gutenberg.
has always been pro-Gernan. The
Gutenberg court has been filled with
German courtters. and the political
land social connection between Luxem-
berg and Berlin has been close. On
-&the other hand, the people of Luxem-
ssberg have been decidedly pro-Ally.
~They have sent a large number Of
~men into the French and Belgian
armies. 1t Is estimated that the
bLuxemberg representatives in the
Fighting forces OF the Allies number
eSpne to every ten Of the people. Re-
Gent disclosures through the telegraph
sand post offices show that the Grand
sDutchess has been in almost constant
communication with Berlin. and now it
lis out that the young Grand Duchess.
.aonly 10 years OF age, has been be
Axotked to Crown Prince Rupprecht
rof Bavaria, a wtdower Of 80.
- When the peace council sits it will
have to determine. among other
things, the fate Of Gutenberg. Most
likely It will become either French
or q Belgian province. It Is pretty
certain that It will not be left to con-
tinue refuge for pro-German aris'
forrats

( American soldiers continue to add

!. the past three weeks. American
forces, operating along the Mouse.

A FINE AMERICAN SPIRIT

4 fine example of the spirit which
animates the American business man
Is shown in the appointment or
Daniel Willard, former president Of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany, TO be colonel of American
Railway Engineers. Colonel Willard
has been commissioned at the request
OF General Pershing. and he sails for
France, TO be assistant to the French
Minister Of Transportation. Daniel
Willard has been accustomed to COM
mand men. At the head OF the Balti-
more G. Ohio railroad he controlled
the activities of many thousands OF
employees. He was one Of the mas
ters Of industry and finance In the
United States. His new work. while.
OF course. no less important. subordi-
mates him to many men Of much less
training and experience. However.
the work is to be done, and Willard is
the man to do the work. This IS the
splendid spirit which Americans
everywhere have shown IN regard 10
the obligations OF the war No big
work has been too big for the biggest,
and nc small work has been too small
for the best. Among no class OF our
citizenship has the desire to serve
and the willingness to make personal
sacrifices been seen more clearly than
among the big business men, manu-
facturers, captains of finance and or
industry, OF whom Daniel Willard Is a
type.
