GOOD LOSERS.

1t is interesting to note the attitude of a we'll
seasoned politician after being beaten in election
1t is well expressed by the remark of former Con-
gresham of Massachusetts, to the effect that he
"never licked his paws in public" Novice
didates and those of irascible temper will issue
statements being defeated showing how deeply
they take their Ill luck to heart.
But who knows the game is very apt to
keep exceedingly quiet after losing battle. He no
doubt feels very wrathful and within. But
for him to express his feelings would be to accuse
the people Of stupidity or worse. 1t is never good
policy to do that
The good course for defeated candidate is to
take his medicine smilingly if it did not matter
much after ALL To manifest that you eating
your heart out is confess weakness, and to show
oneself lacking in the cheerful philosophy that
makes anyone efficient in handling human affairs.
The man who shows himself thus superior to the
shocks of fortune proves his sef-command, which
is of indicating fitness for positions of trust
Perhaps the American love for sport has taught
most OF the politicians to be good losers The crowd
won't play when the game goes against them.
1t Is an essential in good sportsmanship to feel
superior to the ups and downs of fortune. The fell
low who carry that spirit into politics wins u
good many friends among those who voted against
him. And it is true in all life that every defeat
shows his mistakes If he will profit
by it, it helps him play the game better next time.

A CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT.

We speak of this subject again at this time be-
be construed political propaganda and because
in our minds
We assert that the practice Of carrying elections
with money is destructive of public morals. De-
cency cannot permanently prevail until it is stopped
in both parties 1t must be stopped. ''
For years the big interests have maintained their
supremacy in republican councils. not because they
were wanted, but because they needed under
the system in vogue. In order to have their money
it has been necessary to grant them special favors.
So the party has been corrupted at the top.
To meet these conditions the democrats have
used the same methods as far as they could raise
the money. Not morals but natural limitations of
their ability to raise funds, have restrained them
They have been driven to it by the republicans.
The vast sums raised by the republicans have
been used to hire" workers But the paid
theDe workers have been far in excess OF reason
able compensation Tor their services. They in turn
have distributed large parts of it. Thus it has fill
tered on down to the voters and has been used 70

The sum total of all this has been the lowest con-
ceivable moral standards in the conduct of cleo
tons The entire political system has been morally
enervated and ability to raise money and not the
merits Of the issue involved has determined the
results of elections.

FRENCH ANXIOUS
FOR RETURNS Of
j. s. ELECTIONS
(By The Associated Press)

Paris, Nov. 1.-THE presidential
election in the United States over
Swallowed all other topics in Paris
today. All the newspapers printed
columns of leading articles, EX-
celsior devoting the entire front
page to portraits of the American
presidents from Washington to
Wilson. 1t dwelt at length on the
executive powers of the president,
which, it said, were far-reaching
as compared with those of the
president of France and the king
of England.
The Temps said: The election is
of great international importance,
as it will show to what extent the
American people approves or con-
dennis President Wilson's policies
regarding the great peace prob
LENS"
Along the boulevards today
Frenchmen discussed the election,
while American newspaper CORE
spondents were eagerly sought by
natives for tips on early news.
In official circles illusions were
made to the deep effect which the
new American administration might
have upon French interests in Eu-
rope and upon future relations be-
tween France and the United
States.
Jean Millerand, son of President
Millerand, requested the Associated
Press to call up the Elysee palace
at any time during the night when
the result of the election became
known.
