THE PRESIDENT AND POLITICS.

5.-i f -4ts- - 5z4a
 One. of the. greatest mistakes which has been made by. President Wilson was the putting forth. of the political appeal for the election of a denloera- tic congress, after having oryy re- gently announced that politics had been adjourned. It is one of the many inconsistencies Of his five and 9 half years and, one which wilI revive p6Ii- tics. as noth1ng else could. ss se
 President Wilson claims that 1t is necessary to have a democratica .con- gress in order to nave bis leadership upheld. The greatest th5pg before the country today is, .tIie war and the country knc Is.s that the. ,,repub bltcans have not wavered fn. their. Loyalty, that they have not only. stood fynlly back of the president on the seven great war measures. but they have cast more actual votes. thereon, than the democratic majority. In addition the record, of the. republican votes on the war measure roll calls was. P per cent. to the, .democratic 67. It. is a we'll known fact that some of the strongest opponents of the presidents measures have been congressrnen and senators from. his, own parry. ~; !.
 President Wilson says that 'The peoples Of the. allied, countries with whom we are associated against. Ger many. are Iuite familiar with the. sig pificance of elections. As to that there can. be no question. but it is perfectly evident that they not only know what support has. been given to this coun- try's part in the war. by republicans tcfore the step was taken in urging 7reparation, while. the war measures were being considered. and since that time, but Germany likewise Knows what. synpath&. and eneoJragement. it mas gained from the. attitude that has been taken by democrats, whose party he now declares is the only party that can give him proper support. s..
 The president would have done bet ter, had he stuck to his previous an rouncement that "politics is adjourn cd The people. are not going. to select disIoyal. cr.. liinpatriotic repre- sentatives in congress. or ,obstructors of the national welfare, but, they know that democrats are not the only ones y7ho can be relied upon 10 stand by the country ..- ....-.....

The idea that the Americans, have DO big guns, of theirA own, for use in Europe. and that they are obHsed to. depend upon their allies for such artillery support, is rather brusqueiy upset by the announcement to the ef- feet that American 15-inch guns man ned by bluejackets are being, used with excellent results .iti.
