Woman Takes Her Place

After many years the women Of
America yesterday assumed their
rghtful place as aharers in the gov
ernment of their nation. They have
everywhere accepted their new obli-
cations with dignity and readiness.
They entered into the campaign with
a will. They voted without hitch.
All over the country the report IS
one to make Americans proud Of
their women, Of their bearing and
confidence and intelligence.
The most striking fact of all is
that this grea. change in our politi-
cal structure has come almost unno-
ticed--it is to-day as if women had
always voted. The predicted dis
turbance Of cherished institutions
has not shown trace. The home is
still the homeland just as many
women spend just as much time in it
now as before. The miracle has hap
pened and the world has not tipped.
That q great political reform
should be thus achieved with orderli-
ness and calmness speaks volumes
for the sense and steadiness Of the
American mind. In the long run the
whole nation cannot fail to be the
gamer, and to-day the whole nation
can be proud of its new electorate.

The Congress Victory

The Republican President will
have the support OF Congress
more strongly Republican than the
one the voters elected two years ago,
after the President had asked the
country to return Democrats only.
The answer of 1918 has been re-
peatcd and emphasized.
In the Senate the present Repub-
lican majority is two. Early re-
turns indicated the reelection of Sen
ators Moses, Brandegee, Wadsworth,
Watson, Smoot, Lenroot ard
Spencer, whom the Democratic fore
casters had sent to defeat. No Re-
publican seat has been lost. On the
other hand, the Republicans seem
pretty certain to gain seats in Cali
iornia, South Dakota, Idaho, Nevada
and Colorado, with a good chance in
Oregon. Arizona. Kentucky and
Maryland may also elect Rcpub-
licans.
The Republican majority in the
Senate will hardly be less than ten.
1t may go as high as twenty, from
present indications.
In the House of Representatives,
according to the latest issue Of The
Congressional Directory, there were
236 Republicans, 100 Democrats and
4 Prohibitionists and Independents
with five vacancies. The Re-
publican plurality was forty-six. Re-
publican gains have been made in
Massachusetts,, Connecticut, New
York and Pennsylvania. Similar
gains are certain all over the coun-
try, outside the solid South. The
Republican majority in the new
House promises TO run well toward
a hundred.

The suggestion is not very

Challenging the Rent Laws

Justice Hotchkiss's rent law opin-
ion creates confusion. After basing
his decision Oh grounds applicable to
q restricted class Of cases he sug-
gested that the laws as vnole are
unconstitutional In fact, he attacked
the exercise of the states police
power to meet the housing emer-
gency which the Legislature has de-
clared to exist.
In a decision given on October IS
last Justice Finch said: "Prctec-
tion Of homes and housing is GER
tainly within the police powers of
the state, provided a public emer-
gency exists which threatens the
same" He held that it was within
the province of the Legislature to
determine when an emergency exist
ed and that the courts ought to con-
slider only whether the means
adopted were reasonably adapted to
the end sought Other Supreme
q, Court justices have given similar
opinions.
Justice Hotchkiss now intimates
that court may properly pass on
the appropriateness of the Legis-
latures action, thus intervening in
the exercise Of legislative power.
That is an attitude which the courts
are more and more declining to as
sumo. The rent laws are war
measure, passed while the country
was still legally in state Of war. 1t
would DC q dangerous infringement
on the states right Of self-protec-
i, tion if its war measures were sub
ject to limitations on the police
power imposed by courts in the in
terest Of individuals.
Justice Hotchkiss' S reasoning seems
narrow and Gripping. The broader

The States Opportunity

That the defeat of Governor
Smith means the ousting of Tam
many from the State House is
enough cause for congratulation by
every friend Of good government.
But the election of Judge Miller will
mean quite as much on the positive
side. An able, efficient and honest
administration is assured the state,
business administration in the best
sense of that phrase. In character,
experience and intellect Judge Miller
ranks with the best executives the
state has had.
There was convincing proof at
once OF his progressive outlook and
his independence in his eloquent ad-
vocacy of Herbert Hoover at the Chi
cago convention. The Tribune looks
TO Judge Miller to become a real
leader Of his party, a force for pro-
gressive legislation and a friend of
every soundly progressive clement
within the state
The personal tribute to Governor
Smith is a striking one and estab-
fishes him as an outstanding figure
within his party. His ability is un-
questioned. his personal attraction
felt by all. The pity is that such
qualities serve so evil a force as
Tammany--that to be a successful
Democratic politician in this state
it is necessary to have Murphy as a
master. That SO many voters could
forget the plain logic of vote for
Smith is eloquent testimony to the
strong personal appeal which he

Exit Daniels

Joy reigns in the navy. Only four
months more of Daniels!
In his testimony before the SEN
ate committee Josephus said that he
had had "seven happy years at the
Navy Department, with just enough
criticism to make it interesting.
The happiness has been entirely his.
The navy has had a seven-year
nightmare.
People in civil life cannot realize
the harm resulting from Daniels's
rule. The personnel has been dis
rupteG. Class has been arrayed
against class. The personal friend
ships of 4 lifetime have often been
destroyed. An undermining inf1u-
ence, appealing to the selfish and
sordid side of human nature, has
played havoc. Subserviency has
been demanded and rewarded. Man
liness and independence have been
punished. Mediocrity has been put
on pedestal. Ability has often
been sidetracked Naval traditions
have been wrecked.
But the navy will soon be its true
self again as soon as Daniels goes
home

The EEix-Up in Greece

Prince Paul, to whom the crown
Of Greece has been offered, refuses
to take it unless the Greek people
first reject by plebiscite the claims
Of his father, Constantine, and Of
his elder brother, George. He
stands by his parents in holding
that Constantine never renounced
the throne.
If the plebiscite is held it will
probably include an opportunity to
choose between monarchy and a
republic. Greece has been unfor-
tunate with her kings. The first
one, Otho Of Bavaria, had to be de-
posed. King George, Constantine's
father, went through a period of
unpopularity until Venizelos's
craftsmanship enlarged the kingdom
and Greek victories in the Balkan
wars restored the royal family's
prestige. Constantine failed Greece
miserably in the critical days Of the
World War,
An alien royal house is a peril to
nationality. Constantine married
the sister of the former German
Kaiser, and this relationship con-
trolled Greek foreign policy, al
though all Greece's interests lay in
cooperation with the Entente. Colo

Clear Business Skies

AS a result of the election busi-
ness skies are cleared. 1t is not
necessary to wait for inauguration.
There is a certainty Of stability,
common sense and justice in the
near future. This is enough.
The business importance of mere
demonstration that the majority
of the American people think sanely
can scarcely be exaggerated
An industrial depression is large
ly matter of belief. The cause is
distrust and the cure is confidence.
When fear, doubt, hesitation 20 and
in their stead courage comes to the
heart the clouds roll away.
In the fall Of 1896 a wonderful
Transformation took place, as all
will remember, as soon as it became
known that Mckinley had won. The
change began when the ballots were
counted 1t swept on until the en-
ergetic were led to apprehend that
perhaps it was not safe to trust the
American people-that spirit had
been loosed whose workings could
not be foreseen.
When President Wilson was first
elected through the Republican split
there was another halt. BY the
spring Of 1914 uncertainty had
gained great headway. Foreign
goods, taking away the jobs Of
American workmen, arrived in vast
quantities. The country was plain
ly headed for panic. Then came
the war, with its abnormalities, and
this saved the country's business.
The practical embargo on shipments
from Europe and demand for sup
plies saved Us mary breadlines.
With an administration not indif-
ferent to actualities and whose first
thought will be the welfare Of our
people a great reviva! is assured.
The period of dubiety is at an end.
Get aboard! With a stout ship and
a competent crew, the concern or
man who holds back will lose glo-
rious opportunities.
The message of the returns is as
definite as it is pleasing Full
steAm ahead is the signal to the en-
gineer. For four years at least the
prospect is for fair weather. If
there are squalls the men on the
bridge can be relied on. SO the
word to the American people is
"Ring out pessimism; ring in
optimism"

The Result

The reasons for the overwhelming
election of Senator Harding and
Governor Coolidge are plain even to
the dullest.
The country was weary Of Wilson,
ism in all its manifestations. It
liked as little foreign policy which
introduced discord among our allies
as it did a domestic policy which has
brought the country to serious
adversely. It was tired of par
lor Bolshevism in high places, and
likewise Of d pretended pacitism
whose proposals are practically al
ways in the interest Of poor Ger
d many. 1t would have no more ar
' raying Of class against class and
asked for an administration intelli-
gent enough to realize that only by
accelerating production is the cost
y Of living to be reduced. Extrava-
gance, incompetence, narrowness at
Washington-all these and many
others were in the minds Of voters
as they marked their ballots.
But, happily, it is now possible to
dismiss the past. Now the call is to
look forward. Senator Harding has
great opportunity. We believe he
will make the most Of it. We be
lieve he will reastablish our world
relations as they existed two years
ago. We believe lie will be able to
harmonic our domestic affairs.
His duty is double-is abroad and
. at home. Nay he prove himself a
genuine and practial lover of peace
and true progressive in all that re-
lates to enhancing the individual
lives OF our people.
Senator Harding has steadily
grown in public estimation since his
nomination. He has shown reserve
g power in avoiding the making of
vote-getting promises. This is a
good omen. The misrepresentation
from which he has suffered lie
broken at his feet. He may wisely
determine to forget them and to re-
member only the responsibilities of
his mighty position.
, The aspiration of every true
American is for Senator Harding's
complete success. The victory
is nominally party one, but
in its larger aspects it is national.
Party lines were broken, nd Senator
Harding's allegiance properly runs
to the whole people. They will be
quick to recognize and honor real
service

Gloucester Wins

a tighter forty mile race than the
second off Halifax between the fish
ermen's wIndjammers it would be
hard to chart. From start to finish
Yankee and Canadian skill fought
for the lead. The victory for the
Esperanto, giving her the series in
two straight wins, is fine triumph
for seafaring America; for, as all
Down East knows, and as the races
showed, men and boats out of Hall
fax are able sailers, and any one
who beats them has q stiff race to
sail.
The weather proved to be moder-
ate throughout. which was some
thing of pity, for all hands were
looking for fine thrash in a sea-
way that would have tested the boats
to the last spar. Yet there was
ample breeze to finish with and no
drifting match marred the record.
AS an example for the yachting
world the race amply deserved all
the interest it excited.
We think the lesson for the Amer
lca's Cup is real one The example
OF that great sporting event neces-
sarlly has an influence upon all
yachting and boating, and it would be
a great pity if the cockle-shell racers
OF 1920 were ever duplicated. There
should be scantling restrictions suf-
flclent to produce sturdy, seaworthy
craft that could fight it out with the
Esperanto, for example, in any
weather. The races should be sailed
at season and upon waters where a
good, slashing breeze can be counted
upon.
The influence Of such a spectacle
would be wholesome, the lessons of
design and construction would have
great practical value. There is
sound hope of returning America to
'he list of great seafaring nations.
Inc Americas Cup race ought to
contribute TO this revival precisely as
the splendid success of our Down
East fishermen has served to stir the
whole country from coast to coast.

But dissent such as now has been
expressed makes it desirable to
carry the rent law issue to the high

A fresh and ingenious example Of
