There is all the difference in the world between a strike for just grievance by employees against their employer and between strike of employees without grievance against employers for the purpose Of forcing the hand of government The one is an attempt to adjust wrong. The other is an at tempt to govern the country by minorty-govern- ment by strikes.
 Government by strikes is government by aliens as well as citizens-it is government by those who hate the flag well by those who cherish it And most W those leaders in the government by Strikes movement do hate the flag.

Demobilizing Horses.
(London Times.)

Uondon Times)
 One of the big problems confronting the British authorities is what to do with the immense number Of horses that were the army strength in the va rious war theatres.
 Sir William Birkbeck, the experienced director of remounts, estimated that the number of horses in the army IS not less than 75OO00, and this appar- entity, excludes horses the army strength at home If all these were brought to England there would be such glut of horses as has never been known
 What the army authorities intend to do is to bring back to this country approximately the same number of good sound horses under 2 years old as have been taken from it for war purposes This will mean as we reckon. bringing back nearly 1900 horses Demobzed horses are to be sold hundred at time in the large towns throughout the country and in lots of 25 in the smaller towns.
 The question of the disposal of the surplus of army horses abroad is almost certain to provoke much troversy In Egypt alone Sir William Birkbeck tells us, there are 100000 horses and mules Repatria tion he dismisses out of the question owing tc lack of transport. Destruction would mean whole sale massacre and sale to local buyers expose army authorities to violent denunciation on the ground that animals thus disposed are being "sold into slavery"

Election Laws Should Be Changed.

Now that Wickrsham has been seated and the Delegate contest settled for 1916, Mr. Wickersham should be asked to have election laws passed which will eliminate chances of fraud and collusion Ma tives who cannot read and write and who are living under tribal relations should not be permitted to vote. Unofficial precincts should be recognized by the official canvassers whether for one party or the other Votes should be cast only upon official ballots and the votes to be counted should be in at the time they are canvassed Mr. Wickersham would be as much benefited by good electoin laws as any one and this incessant squabble the

 "In the of the American Army in France, as well in my name, thank you for your kind and stimulating message
 It is the consciousness that the soldier has behind him undivided nation which enables him. whatever his rank may be, to face his task with courage We Americans have the added inspiration and encourage ment that flows from the example and friend ship of our Allies. who for four years have been fighting our battles in fighting their own. Standing by their side, we expect not only to. vindicate the common of jus tce and honor and righteousness but also to lay solid foundation for world peace
 We dare not claim that, army, we have yet achieved that high standard of manhood and conduct upon which the larg- est human effectiveness should be built; but the ideal of the nation and of the churches is constantly before With sincerity and firm purpose set faces toward the goal After all, it is a common fight yours there and here. What is sary for the manhood of the soldier is sary of the manhood of the citizen.
 "The powerful resources of the nation which have been placed ungrudgngly at the disposition of the army, indispensable for the accomplishment of duty But know that wealth of material sources of technical skill will not suffice. The invisible and unconquerable force let loose by the prayers and hopes and ideals of Christian America, of which you are representative, is ncalcuable. It fur nishes the soul and motive for the military body and its operations. It seadies to resist manfuy those temptations which sail us in the extraordinary conditions of life in which find ourselves.
