In completing the board Of District

an eminently satisfactory selection for

residential qualification is beyond the

MARYLAND and Virginia.
The Maine Result.

The result IN Name Is pronounced.
It's size was not foreshadowed in any
republican claim. Thirty thousand
was the highest figure suggested in
that quarter. The republicans have
the best of the polling by over twice
that number. 1t is a record in the
political history of the state.
The campaign was fought on ma
tional issues. The league of nations
Maine has often spoken on the tariff.
and always in favor of protection.
Yesterday she spoke again in the same
key. so far as that issue was con-
cerned.
The league of nations as negotiated
by the President and presented by him
to the Senate received its baptism of
ballot fire, so to say, and was over
whelmed. Maine. unquestionably, is
against the Presidents work at Paris.
Among its stump advocates were Can
didate Roosevelt and Secretary Dan
iels, and it may be supposed that they
presented it in its strongest form.
But they failed to win the voters of
the Pine Tree state. Maine will have
none of the league as drawn.
Yesterdays election showed two
other things of wide concern. "a The
people are interested. Untoward
weather could not keep them away
from the polls. They ignored the
rain. and went out to plump for their
principles. Let US hope that this
spirit prevails throughout the coun-
where in November. Surely this is a
time when failure to vote except for
physical inability to reach the polls
will be absolutely inexcusable.
(2) The new voters took their places
in large numbers. and discharged the
solemn duty they had solicited and
been invested with. In Maine the
women have shown that they appre-
ciate the ballot. and will use it in
helping to settle matters of public pol.
icy. Their example is likely to be.
and should be. widely copied.
The effect of the Maine result on
the country at large-that is to say,
on the debatable sections of it? Can
it be otherwise than heartening in the
highest degree to the republicans?

most strenuous endeavors? rndoubt-

danger to be met by the sagacity Of

Gov. Cox as Stumper.

Gov. Cox is seasoned stumper. but
on a limited scale. He stumped his
district for Congress. He stumped
his state four times for the governor
ship. winning the prize three times.
But those activities were not taxing.
They did not take him far from base.
They imposed no hardships. They in
volved no changes OF climate He
was at home wherever he went.
This trip is different. He is on the
go all the time. He is measuring long
distances. He is sampling variety
of climates. He is addressing enor-
nous crowds and trying to spread his
voice over vast spaces. He is en-
countering all weathers. The ham,
mer hammer Of car wheels rings al
most constantly in his ears.
1t is not surprising, therefore. that,
despite his fifty vigorous years, his
high spirits. and the inspiration of
enthusiastic receptions, the governor
is showing fatigue and a ragged voice.
A tip from the President and an
other from Mr.. Bryan before starting
would have done the governor good.
Mr.. Wilson travelled hot foot over
the same territory without sparing
himself. and broke down. Mr.. Bryan
has covered the course a number of
times, and finished as strong as when
he began, his strength preserved and
his voice in tune.
Stumping America is mans job.

British Labor,

Today and tomorrow meetings will
be held Of leaders Of the so.ca1led
triple alliance Of coal miners, rail.
way men and transport workers OF
Great Britain upon which may de.
pend the Industrial and possibly the
political peace Of England. The i'm.
mediate cause Of this crisis is a de.
mand by the coal miners for hisher
wages and better working conditions.
Should they strike it is possible that
the railway workers and all the dock.
men. and possibly other industries will
also strike. Not only in England,
however. is this development possible,
but it is feared that II a general
strike OF this character is ordered
there it will be accompanied by sym.
pathetic strikes on the continent, par.
ticularly in Belgium and France. DOS
sibly in Germany.
In short. the British coal miners
demands are looked upon as but a
prelude to a general labor disturbance
in Europe. The government at Lon.
don is prepared to resist these de.
mands and to fight the strike. SuR.
gestion has been made that the pre-.
mier precipitate a general election

istry. to put the labor issue squarely

The Women Of Maine.

1t is easily possible to place the vote
of the women of Maine in the election
yesterday. On the basis Of the returns
from all but forty.two towns and plan
tations. the republican vote was in.
creased by $4,000, over that of 1916,
while the democratic vote was in
creased by only 1900. While there
may have been a large democratic
''stay at home" vote it is evident that
more women who went to the polls
yesterday voted republican than voted
democratic. Had the two parties in.
creased their total votes proportion.
ately by the same percentages it
would have been evident that the
women had voted according to normal
family divisions. In the present case,
however. it is obvious that many thou.
sands Of Maine women yesterday voted
the republican ticket on national is.
sues. and it is this fact that gives
so marked a significance to the re-
suit in the state. and SO direct a bear
ing upon the November prospects.

TO the extension of the franchise to

country has decided that women shall
have the right to vote, and he be.
lieves that this right should be made
unquestionable by the action OF as
great number OF states as possible
before the election.
This is a wise and sound course to
take. and it is to be hoped that Sena.
tor Brandegee's advice win be taken
by the governor Of his state and an
extra session OF the legislature called
at once to put the finishing touch
upon the process Of, ratification. II

teenth amendment all doubt sof its
validity vanishes. Court procedure
cannot be maintained and the women
Of the twenty states enfranchised by

least fear that their participation in

toral votes OF those states.

Japan and America.

A member of the japanese diet in
a recent debate in that body said on
the subject of the American naval pro.
gram:
1T must be remembered that Amer
lea is trying to expand her Pacific
squadron simply because she misun-
laboring under the misconception that
the Japanese are a very dangerous
people. welded to militarism and ag-
gressiveness Being obsessed by this
mistaken notion, they are anxious to
complete their naval armaments
against all emergencies on the Pa
cific."
America is expanding her sea power
in the Pacific because for years it has
borne no proper proportion to her in.
terests in that great ocean. The Pa.
cific is the coming body Of salt water.
Our continental coast line is very
long. and our island possessions-Ha.
waii and the Philippines-addt to the
advisability and the justice Of our
present naval plans.
Our weakness in the Pacific is not
a matter Of recent discovery or Of re-
cent comment. For long time com.
petent observers have been pointing
it out. and urging steps to correct it.
The world war emphasized their
recommendations. What we are do
ing now should have been done years
ago.
We. are not putting Japan or any
other power on special notice. That
all powers will take notice Of what
we are doing is likely and their right.
But none should misinterpret it, None
should read into it purposes which
we do not entertain.
Japan and America have been on
friendly terms for a long period, and
should remain friends. There is no
good reason why they should be ene-
mies-why either should be "ob-
sessed" about the other.
That Japan will consider and pro.
vide for her interests is certain, and
that we shall consider and provide
for our interests is equally certain.
But that does not mean war, and need
not take a war twist.
