There is more serious stage Of

January 80, 1919.

me anything to make this trip. The

are ten of us out Of my company

was lying on the ground somewhere,
tor most Of the soldiers were like
without one for a few minutes. We
had been driving the Germans back
all morning. We started toward
their line at a. IN. and had only
gone about three hundred yards
when they began shooting at us
with machine guns. Well, they had
been shooting at us all night and all
afternoon before, on Sunday, with
"i IiiASiJ gnu guns. we
came up on the firing line Sunday
n. M, and they put heavy artillery
harrage on us as we were coming
up on the line to relieve the 322d In
fantry. We came across a wide,
open swamp, and 1t was visible for
about three miles, most any direc-
ton. We could see the firing line
before we got up to it, and hear the
bullets, too. The Germans were
retreating all the time, but they had
trench back on the hill, east from
where we started to drive them, and
we drove them back 10 it Monday
morning from a. III. to about 10
n. m. Then, If the war had not
stopped, we would have had to
drive them out OF their trench posi-
tons. am glad it stopped, and so
were the Germans.
AS soon as firing stopped, at II

Germans came out to see us, and we

were going to vote for Congressman
Moore.
1t is evident that the nonvoters in past
years are going to vote this year. In
nine times out of ten the nonvoter is a
man who usually says, whats the use?
The gang will win anyway and l will
not waste my time voting against it in
the primaries" When he thinks there is
a chance to win he will vote.
But the fight was not won Tuesday.
There are two more days of registration
Tuesday and Saturday of next week
when the Independent workers must be-
stir themselves to get out the voters who
did not register on Tuesday. When we
get the total figures for the three days
speculation on what will happen at the
primaries will be safer than it is now.

MOT discouraged by the cool reception
of the Plumb plan for giving the
railroads to the railroad operatives, the
president of the National Coal Associa-
ton has announced that a bill has been
prepared providing for the purchase of
the coal mines by the government and
turning them over to the miners.
The miners are now suggesting a six
hour day and a five-day week under pri-
vate ownership. If they got hold of the
mines and could run them to suit them
selves no one knows how short day they
would work
But naturalization of coal mines in
this way is not likely to come, for the
users of coal wish the fuel to be mined in
more economical manner than would
be possible under any such plan. They
know its purpose is not to reduce the
cost of living, but to increase the income
and reduce the labor of the coal pro-
ducers.
+ The demand for the application of the
Plumb plan to the coal mines was eX-
pected, however 1t is likely to be pro-
posed for many other industries before
those who want to get something for
nothing discover that it can't be done.

A GOOD BEGINNING

INDEPENDENTS say that the large
= registration on Tuesday means that
Congressman Moore will be nominated
Organization supporters say that it
zueans that the voters are turning out to
qualify to nominate Judge Patterson by
an oyeEwhelming majority.
Conservative observers say that it
means that there is an unprecedented
popular interest in the mayoralty contest.
A glance at the registration figures in
recent years will assist the curious in
understanding the situation. In 1911,
when Mr.. Blankenburg was elected, the
FIRST days registration was 10000. In
l9i5, when Mayor Smith was elected, it
was 123,000. Last year, when Governor
Sproul was elected, it was 94,700. This
year the incomplete figures have risen to
raore than $4,000, The gain over four
<eAfs ago is nearly 10000. The increase
IN population is not sufficient to explain
his.

fluence over the Republican councils.
Mr.. Lodges quandary is not enviable.
He wants a unified party and so do all
Republicans weary of Democratic errors
and convinced that a change in 1920
would be the best thing for the country
Yet is it impossible to coordinate the
party by taking count of It's thousands of
supporters who are Jealous believers in
the league of nations and earnestly desire
the prompt ratifying of the treaty?
What sort of counsel is it which puts a
Norris before Taft, Borah before a
WiCkersham, Sherman before Root?
Tho West, for all its lusty and gener-
ally wholesome spirit, does not determine
presidential elections and, until it is more
populous, it never will. Hiram johnson
may please his constituents, whom Mr..
Hughes irritated three years ago, but
will he please the mass of the Republi-
cans when they learn that their excellent
case for Shantung has been lost by mis-
management?
The struggle in Washington has its
subtle side. And here is where the
Democratic party is involved Its lead
ers, playing for political position just as
determnedly as their rivals, have an ad-
vantage in the defensive. 1t permits
them to chalk up Republican blunders
and false starts.
The opportunity need never have come
to them if their opponents had realized
how genuine was the general desire for
disposing of the war and its onerous
aftermaths by adopting the treaty. The
surrender will have to come and when it
does the Republican party will have been
placed in a position which unquestion-
ably the majority of its members did not
wish.
The political battle that is on, no mat
ter what sentimentalists and ideallsts
may say, will be deal more interesting
if it is distinctly representative of the
constituencies on both sides.
When the situation shifts that way,
which it must in sthe end, the public will
be able to take stock of the lineup and
the professional prophets will more con-
fidently bob up to answer that fascinat-
ing quadrennial riddle, "Who will sit in
the White House,"

COMPERS AND THE RAIL ROW

MR.. GOMPERS learned much by hard
49, and patient experience in the hard
est days of trades unionism. More re-
Gently he has had a front-row seat at
what we have come to speak of as the
drama Of Europe. No man in America
is better qualified to give sound advice
to the Federation of Labor. So, unless
Gompers has suffered from an infection
OF radcalism, disease to which he has
been all his life immune, he will use his
power to keep the railway shopmen in
their senses.
n Bolshevism, says Mr. Gompers, has
failed in Europe. That much was ap-
parent even at this distance six months
ago. Is it to be supposed that it can sue
ceed in the United States?
The shopmen's unions actually repre-
sent what might be called the Left Wing
of the American labor movement. The
unions are new and reckless and bit dis
trait with knowledge of their new
power. They are frankly radical.
In Europe radical labor has a differ
ent background. Bolshevism at its source
Is in reality a protest against cruelty and
ignorant class oppression, led by men
made half mad byssuffering and the sight
of black injustice. Yet public opinion,
even in Russia, is not ready for govern
ment by labor exclusively.
That, however, is what the railway
men hope to establish over the rail sys-
tens of the country if their demands
and the manner in which they have been
presented reflect the majority view.

WHERE DOES WARE LIVE?

THE registry clerk who challenged the
right of Senator Ware to vote in the
fifteenth division of the Thirty ninth
ward has raised a question which ought
to be settled beyond the shadow of a
uoubt.
The senator swore that he is a duly
qualified elector residing at 2009 South
Broad street.
The law forbids an elector to vote out
side of the election district in which he
is a qualified voter. 1t provides that he
shall have resided in the election district
where he offers to vote for "at least two
months Immediately preceding the cleo
ton" And it declares that "any wiIlful
false statement (made by the prospective
voter) constitutes perjury and is pun
ishable as such"
The house from which the senator reg
istered is boarded up and has been so for
months. When the senator last slept
there or had his washing done from there
is not known. He has a splendid house
in Amber, where his family resides; he
is in the habit of going back and forth
to Amber on the train, and when he has
to spend night in town he stays at the
Manufacturers Club in the Eighth ward.
The courts have decided time after
time that a man may have voting resi-
dence wherever he chooses, but they have
also decided that he must occupy the
place of his residence enough to make it
a bona fde domicile. 1t is not enough
that he owns the property. He must live
| in it at least part of the time.
The committee of one hundred which
| is challenging the supremacy of Senator
| Ware will fail in its duty if it does not
make a legal inquiry into the genuine
ness of the senator's residence at the
| South Broad street house. There are
| scores of men engaged in business here
who are intensely interested in the gov
ernment of the city, but are disqualified
from taking any active part in political
movements because, like Senator Ware,
they maintain a residence outside of the
| CITY limits where they can have a house
to suit them and grounds for their recrea
ton. The senator himself has criticized
| the committee of one hundred because
| the names of some such men are on it.
These men own property in town, but
they do not claim any piece of it as a
"voting residence" But the senator, with
apparently no greater right to vote here
does his best to dictate the policy of the
Republican party in the city; and he rep
resents one of its senatorial districts ir
the Legislature.
More than his right to vote is involved
in the question of his residence in South
Philadelphia. The state constitution pro
vides that the senators must be "inhabi
tants of their respective districts" anC
the state laws provide that if an officia
removes from the district from which he
is elected he thereby vacates the office.
The senator can easily qualify in the
future for voting in the Thirty-nintf
ward. for it does not require much to es
tablish voting residence. But the ques
ton at issue Just now is whether the
senator has grown so Indifferent that HI
has allowed his right to vote in this cit!
to lapse by failure to occupy his house
even constructively.
