Candidates and Campaigning.

This is from news story describing
Gov. Ccx's arrival in Washington, and
giving the substance of some of his
conversations with callers:
"The governor said that Mr. Roose-
welt and he would carry the campaign
Union and that they would even go
into the south, regarding the latter as
the gracious if not a necessary thing
to do. He added that he saw nothing
Hndignified in the candidate going
direct to the people with the issues of
the campaign
1t will be gracious act for the
democratic candidates in swinging
round the circle to swing into the
southern states, and, more than that.
an act of gratitude for favors await
ing them and certain to be received.
The lower south will vote the ticket.
Her electoral vote can be counted now.
The league of nations, prohibition,
and all the other things entering into
the equation elsewhere will not enter
into il there.
This will make If unnecessary and
inadvisable for the republican candi-
dates, if in the end they decide on
stumpins tours, TO go so far afield.
Nothing of material nature is pos
sible in that quarter for them. They
would have large audiences, and doubt
less be most respectfully received.
Their positions and their claims as
men upon public respect would insure
the proper treatment. But the time
would be wasted. However interesting
or persuasive their discourses, they
could not hope for favorable responses
at the polls.
And there is no time to waste. No
vembef is not far away, and the de-
batable territory is considerable in
size. Every foot of it is important.
There is work in plenty on the card.
A real campaign is in progress, and
viii grow more intense as time passes.
Outside of the lower south, whatever
is obtained by either side will repre-
cent hard fighting.

No Peace by Mandamus.

A remarkable suit has been filed in
the District Supreme Court which
even in this day Of strange injunctions
and other writs sought from the judici-
airy must be rated as exceptional. This
is the suit of Chicago lawyer to
compel the Secretary of State to pro-
claim peace on the ground that the
joint resolution passed by Congress on
the 2lst of May last became q law on
that date, despite the veto of the Pres
ident. This is based ON the reasoning
that the President has no authority
to veto a joint resolution. Possibly in
his reading Of the Constitution of the
United States the petitioner in this
case did not peruse further than clause
= of section of article 1, which pro.
vides that "every bill which shall have
passed the House of Representatives
and the Senate shall before it becomes
, law be presented to the President
It the United States, etc." II he did
sot read beyond that point in respect

man stood ,unyieldingly for his own
theories. The labor element knew
exactly what it wanted and was able
to put its program over.
"The result, so far as l can see, is
that there is no third party. The
labor program was so radical that We
of the committee of forty eight can
not vote for it. l don't know how I
shall vote at the next election"
There are politicians and politicians.
For certain class Of politicians-com-
posed of men skilled in producing and
working selfish or class schemes-no-
body has any respect. They do not
deserve respect. As rule. however,
they do not get anywhere. They over
reach themselves, or fail otherwise.
But there is another class, deserving
of all respect, and enjoying it. 1t is
composed of men who study and I'M
derstand and help apply the art of
government. They make allowances
for many kinds and shades of opin
ions, and know how to reconcile diff
ferenees and shape necessary com
promises. They know the dangers Of,
and therefore oppose, class movements
of all kinds.
A few such men as delegates to the
Chicago meeting might have brought
order out of the chaos. and third
party representing something been
organized. A few would have sufficed.
a knowledge of how to do things goes
u long way in meeting OF kickers.
We cannot have too much politics,
or too many politicians, of the right
sort. In fact, every citizen, according
to his rights and opportunity, should
be politician. and interested i'll the

to the signing Of legislative measures
he missed clause 8, which reads:
"Every order, resolution or vote to
which the concurrence of the Senate
and House of Representatives may be
necessary Except on a question of ad-
journment) shall be presented to the
President of the United States, and
before the same shall take effect shall
be approved by him, or, being disap-
proved by him, shall be repassed by
two-thirds Of the Senate and House
Of Representatives, according 20 the
rules and limitations prescribed IN

This language is surely plain enough
to indicate Enthusiastically Why when
the presidential veto of joint resolu-
ton Of May 81 reached the House and
Senate it was not challenged, but was
accepted as final after an attempt was
made to pass the resolution, the Pres
idcnts objections Notwithstanding.
If Congress so regards caluse 3
of section of article l as Civ
ing the President the right to veto
a Joint resolution, it is not at all
likely that the courts will hold to the
contrary. Peace is not to be obtained
by writs of mandamus.

An Anniversary of Victory.

Two years ago today it became evil
dent that the tide of war had changed
in France, that at last, after many
other attempts on the part of the al
lied forces to assume the aggressive,
they had succeeded. Beginning on the
western side of the Scissors Marine
Rheims salient, French and American
troops were thrown in great force
against the German flank, while at
other points on the battle front from
the Belgian coast to the Nosges the
enemy found himself subjected to a
powerful pressure. For weeks he had
been advancing, capturing allied posi-
|tions, taking munitions and prisoners,
and at the Marine salient he was in a
fair way to gain control of the great
strategic lines affecting Paris and pos
sibly to separate completely the north
ern and southern wings of the allies
armies. At the psychological moment
Foch sprang his surprise from the
forest of Villers Cotterets and CO.
ordinating the attack with the utmost
skill brought the enemy to a com
plete halt within few hours.
Other allied offensives had been
started and had failed At the Somme,
two years before, the British and
French had undertaken grand attack
which. while it gained ground on the
largest scale for many months, never
theless gradually weakened with a net
result of little value. Later the Ger
mans yielded voluntarily in a great
and mastery retreat even more
ground which they found it difficult
to defend. Eventually in the offensive
of March, 1918, all of this area and
more was regained by Germany, and
it was at the height of that movement
that the allied attack was started and.
without remission, was continued sue
eessfully until the 18th of November.
Thus this is in a sense an anniver-
sary, for it was on the 10th of July.
1918, that the truth was realized by
the American people that their forces
had proved to be the necessary factor
for allied success. The American
troops in the scissors Marine Rheims
salient attack fulfilled the highest ex-
pectations. They met every demand.
They made every necessary sacrifice.
They adapted themselves to the peeu-
liar conditions of warfare quickly and
efficiently. They showed high spirit
and the utmost resolve to "flnish the
job" now that they had at last reached
the fighting front and were in action on
a large scale. Had it not been for these
troops in the great counter offensive
started by Foch on the 18th of July
on all sides of the salient, Foch could
not have carried the day and definitely
thrown the enemy upon the defensive
after many weeks of successful ad-
vance. This, therefore. is a day to be
remembered in American history.
