1t will elect to the post the man the
nominee designates. That is the rule.
The man who manages the repub-
lican campaign this year will have q
mans job on hand. At present the
drift is republicanward. But that may
not last. Matters are in such state
of fux, changes are constantly occur
ring, and changes may continue until
election. day. New. issues are bobbing
up. Some old issues are showing re-
juvenation. For an instance, prohibi-
tion has come to the front of a sudden,
and may rise into the importance of
the param cunt issue. The champions of
the drink traffic are planning for big
demonstration at San Francisco. Their
purpose is to force, if possible. a wet
plank into the democratic platform !;
and if they succeed the republicans
will have to take notice and adjust
their campaign to meet the onslaught
on the eighteenth amendment.
But the first consideration at Chi
cago will be the nomination of strong
man for President. The choosing of
a campaign manager will come later.

Germany Warns Her People.

The German government, realizing
the danger of continued attacks upon
representatives of foreign governments,
has issued a proclamation condemning
all such assaults upon members of en-
tente missions and declaring that the
minister of defense will act with the
greatest severity in Furnishing excesses.
Such acts. it says, can only lead to the
serious injury of Germany. This is 4
sensible view of the matter, but it re-
mains to be seen whether the govern
ment's declaration will be effective The
magistrate in a preliminary hearing
regarding the attack on French officers
at the Hotel Adlon refused to remand
Prince Joachim Albrecht on the ground
that L prima facie case had not been
made out The military commander Of
the district, however, has ordered his
detention in prison. Meantime other
outrages have occurred. Eight
men reported to be members of a
French military aviation commission
were attacked by the people of Wer-
nitz, near Potsdam, and one Of them
was mortally wounded, the others be-
ing taken into custody on a charge of
poaching. At Breslau members of the
allied military commission were at
tackled by mob. With this spirit rife
in Germany the government at Berlin
may find itself confronted with a
serious issue if it undertakes to en-
force its proclamation. 1t is obviously
impossible to withdraw the allied Off
GERS, who are charged with the duty
of overseeing the execution of the
treaty of peace. If the Germans are
bent upon treating them as enemies
in warfare serious outbreaks may de-
velop.

place introduced him to national life.
He has n wide national acquaintance.

Ratification Practically Assured.

West Firginia's vote for suffrage,
given in the most dramatic circum
stances after Il 3.OO0-mile trip across
the continent by one of the state sena-
tors. brings the national enfranchise
ment of women within actual reach
in season for the next presidential
election. This approval is the thirty
fourth. of the thirty-siX necessary to
assure the proclamation of the amend
ment by the Secretary of State. In a
fey days both Washington and Della
ware will assemble in special legisla-
tive session and their approval is fully
expected. Washington ia already COM
mitted to suffrage and sentiment in
Delaware strongly favors the amend
ment. If Delaware fails to ratify one
vote must be gained from Connecticut
or Vermont.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, one of
the veteran leaders of the suffrage
movement in the United States. says
that the fight is won, West Virginia, in
effect, casting the deciding vote. This
anticipates the two remaining ap-

result is presumably based on init

America have been seeking the vote,
with discouraging Indifference on the
hostile.
Not until the newer states of the
west began to extend the franchise to
the women, at first in limitation and
later without restriction, did the eo,rn-
try at large take the question seri-
ously. AS state after state voted to
enfranchise the women they took heart
and the ranks of their national organi-
zation filled. Session after session
group Of them had been coming to
Washington to ask for the adoption of
a federal amendment. Susan B. An.
thony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were
their leaders. Annually they appeared
before committees of the House and
Senate and argued their case, with
gradually increasing response in sym
pathy. Two schools developed, those
who wanted the change effected
through successive state action and
those who wished to 60 straight after
enfranchisement by federal amend
ment. Not until enough states had
been converted to form the basis Of
national demand was the movement
for amendment successful in Congress.
Now the victory is in sight. A few
more days and the amendment will
be ratified. The women of the whole
country then will be in position to vote
for Presidential save those of the
District of Columbia

American Labor.

A good deal is said about the enc
mics of labor and the friends of labor.
Labor is urged to vote against such of
its enemies as may stand for office,
particularly Legislative office. this year.
Who of consequence are enemies of
labor, There is no country where
labor is more highly respected. 1t is
potent and impressive III numbers and
in achievements. 1t has done much for
itself and for the country 1t enjoys
the opportunities of the greatest re-
public the world has ever known. 1t
has the ballot. 1t is eligible to office,
and has partakcn of the honors Of of
fee. 1t draws the highest wages paid
on earth. 1t is better housed, better
clothed, better fed, better educated
than the labor of any other country.
These things are indisputable. Are
they not proof that the enemies of
labor, whoever they may be. are few
in number, or singularly incapable:
If they have sought to retard the prog
ress of labor they have made a very
poor fist of il. For labor has pro-
gressed steadily. has deserved to pro-
gress, and its progress been applauded
by public sentiment. That progress
has been the subject of praise and
boast American labor has been, and
is today. a source of national pride.
Who are the fricr,is of labor' Are
not those legislators who have sup
ported national policies from which
labor has drawn many benefits entitled
to consideration as friends' Did not
the men who kept the money standard
high when it was threatened with dis
aster some years ago serve labor.
Would not labor have suffered far more
than capital if that standard had been
lowereds The man who worked for
wages would have been the first to
suffer and the severest sufferer.
Did not those legislators who put
tariff laws drawn on protection lines
on the books serve labor. If Ameri-
can industries deserving protection
had not been protected against for
eign productions based upon low wages
could they have paid American labor
according to the high American wage
scales? Labor has never been better
served than by those laws. By such
means soup houses have more than
once been closed, and labor installed
IN residence on Easy street
Not all measures put forward by
labor leaders are equally meritorious.
Not all measures opposed by labor
leaders have the injury of labor in
purpose. A legislator must exercise his
own judgment in the discharge of his
duties; and in this country the high
est duty of a legislator is to refuse his
support to measures calculated for a
class. The greatest good to the great
est number is the only safe key to
action in country where the greatest
number rules.

Bombing the Ice.

A new way of breaking up ice gorges
is being tried in the lower Susque-
hanna, where Port Deposit has been
menaced with food. The ice has &C.
cumulated there in such quantities that
great danger of a freshet has prevailed,
and in the emergency the military
aviators from the nearby Aberdeen
proving ground have tried their hands
at bit of bombing. They dropped
several thousand pounds of T N r,
making many holes in the ice and SO
weakening it that it is believed with
mild temperature the break will
come soon, permitting the ice to move
out safely.
This experiment illustrates the use
to which the airplane can be put in
practical ways. 1t can reach places of
vantage otherwise inaccessible. Dur.
