IN MICHIGAN

T Asst month there was State
election in Michigan, the polit-
ical significance of which ap-
pears to have escaped the people
generally. From official reports the
Republican vote was 506,342 and
the Democratic 221,SS1. Last year
the vote for Governor showed
266,73S for the Republican candi-
date and 1912 for the Demo-
cratic aspirant.
The startling increase in the total
vote of the State is accounted for in
large measure by the fact that it
was the first time the women of
Michigan had voted. But while the
number of voters increased by over
II per cent. the gain in Republican
strength was over 81 per cent. more
than twice the increase of only 40
per cent. shown by the Democrats.
The Republicans added 239,604
votes to their strength, and the
Democrats only 63.6S9, representing
a net gain by the Republicans of
1895.
This remarkable increase in Re-
publican sentiment occurred during
g time when the League of Nations
and other Wilsonisms were most
prominently in the public eye.

Congress to the Rescue
(From the New York SUM.

ilarly operated by the Government.
and involving the support, the very
livings, of many thousands of
American soldiers and their depend
ents, was without funds.
The United States government
had hundreds of millions of unpaid
war bills coming in and hundreds
of millions yet to come in, with
not enough funds, with nothing like
enough funds, to pay them or TO be-
glr to pay them. The United States
government was in financial straits
so desperate that if it had been a
private enterprise it's fate would
have been to be closed up and sold
out by the sheriff. But Mr.. Wilson
in wrath with the American people
for taking away his Congress con-
trary to his injunction, in fear that
manful and courageous Congress,
owing its duty not solely to him but
to the Nation, might interfere with
his League of Nations, deliberately
allowed these shocking conditions
to go on week after week and month
after month while the Nation edged
nearer and nearer to calamity.
Now, at the supplication of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, who has
been in despair during all these
trials, Mr.. Wilson at last consents
to n restoration of legislative govern
ment by the American people. One
week from next Monday the Sixty
sixth Congress, chosen half a year
before by the American people, will
be permitted to come to the rescue.
May it be able, at this late day, to
do the Job!

THE RETURNING SOLDIER
lFrom the Philadelphia Evening
Ledger

1t is fashionable to look with a sort
OF awe upon the Homecoming service
man, and to regard him as a mystery
or sorts. He is new factor in
American politics. But he is now
mystery. He is an average man
little wiser and a little more criti-
cal by hard and astonishing expert
ences. In some ways he is different
from the men who welcome him
and wonder about his secret mind.
1t has always been observable, for
example, that such forbearance and
calm and charity as there was in the
war was to be found for the most
part among the men who fought
hardest and suffered most. Soldiers
at the front rarely participated in
the fashionable hatreds of the last
few years. Their own experiences
helped them to a better understand
ing of the general catastrophe. The
best haters were at home in the
leather chairs.
So it was and so it is with the
jingoes. Who remembers ever hav-
ing met a returned American soldier
who consciously assumed the heroic
pose? The romantic glamour that
still colors a stay-at-home politicians
conceptions of war and war-makers
does not delude any man who saw
modern fighting.
I'VE don't want to parade. We
want to go home!" That is the an
swer of a majority in almost every
returning unit, when the prospect of
public review is suggested by the
officers. But the men parade usually
in q spirit of tolerant kindness, to
do the home folks a good turn and
give them a thrill, even though they
themselves feel bit bored and a bit
tired of the performance.
The fact of the matter is that un-
der the o. DIS of the service the free
spirit of these free men was volun-
trily subordinated but never quite
submerged. We hear a great deal of
the illiteracy found in the new army
after it's organization, and often We
fail to remember that, despite all,
the American Expeditionary Force
was the most intelligent, the keenest
minded, the fastest thinking and the
cleanest army ever organized. IL
had superb self-control because II
was not a driven mass that disin-
tegrated and descended to disorder
and lawlessness at the moment when
authority was relaxed or withdrawn.
Each of its individual units was ami
mated by a competent intelligence.
Within each soldier remained the
man who submitted his spirit to rig
orous discipline and gave up his
inherited freedom of action-yet re-
NAMED always the conscious OBJ
server and the intelligent critic OF
all that he saw and felt and heard.
He saw things that will remain
with him as long as his memory lasts.
What he may bring back, in the way
of homes or determination or con-
viction, to his own country, it is
hard to say as yet.

HOMECOMING HOLIDAY

TT IS entirely fitting that the date
of the official homecoming
of Pennsylvania's own division,
heroes of Chateau Thierry and a
hundred other desperate encoun-
ters. should be made legal holiday
in Pennsylvania. 1t is an occasion
doubly significant to patriotic Penn
sylvanians, who not only rejoice that
the warriors are home again, but
that they bring with them banners
that may we'll be placed beside the
standards of Pennsylvania troops at
Yorktown and Gettysburg. They
have written a new chapter in Penn
sylvania's sacrifices for liberty. They
have added new laurels to the repu-
tation of the Commonwealth for
sturdy manhood and patriotic devo-
ton to the cause of freedom.
They come home tempered by the
fiery ordeal through which they
passed and constituting as fine ma
terial for citizenship as the State
has ever known, to take their part
in public activities at a time when
their poise, their courage and their
broadened vision will be of highest
value. They have done a great work
in war; they have equally important
tasks in peace.
It is fortunate day that brings
them back to us. 1t is indeed mete
that we should rejoice and make
merry, and declare a public holiday.
