THE SOLDIERS KNOW.

Among the resolutions adopted i.v
the national convention Of the Ameri-
can Legion at Kansas City, No., was
one reading as follows:
That the American Legion, in
convention assembled, extends
greetings to the former Com
mander-inChief of the American
Army and Navy. wishing him a
speedy and complete recovery from
illness suffered in the service OF
his country"
Brief is this declaration, but how
expressive. 1t speaks the minds of
men who know how President Wilson
devoted so much time and effort to the
service of the people. working day
and night, first to keep his country
from being drawn into wars horrors,
and afterwards to bring the war to a
successful conclusion and to derive
the greatest world benefits from the
peace negotiations, that he sacrificed
health. almost life, and is still paying
the penalty Of his strenuous patri-
otic labors.
And the men who gave expression
TO this fine testimonial were soldiers
OF the war, who knew their Com
mander-in-Chief and what he had
done. In contrast with their sincere
and touching tribute, the bitter snarl,

WILL CONGRESS- TAKE MREDi


1t Will bc interesting to note tho
effect which the decided Democratic
trend Of the elections held on Tues
day last-notably In tho complete re-
covery from the Republicans of the
States OF Maryland and Kentucky
will have upon the Republican MAJOR
ity In Congress. Hitherto II has been
mn Indifferent element. paying scant
attention TO those matters OF lcgisla-
tion which so Immediately concern the
people at this time.
A Congress Republican In both
branches has been in almost continu-
Gus session at Washington for nearly
three years. 1t began It's career soon
after the formal ending Of the war,
and was confronted with the great
questions affecting the terms OF peace
and the restoration or public affairs
to prc-war conditions. What II has
done, and especially what Il has not
done, the people we'll know.
The entire history OF the country
fails to show n counterpart OF the
present Republican Congress and its
immediate predecessor in respect OF
incapacity and gross indifference TO
grave public matters. Between them
they have continued onerous and un-
necessary war taxes, which burden
and irritate the people. They have
arrayed the country against world
peace and entered into separate peace
treaties with Germany and Austria
Hungary, almost an affront to those
| nations with whom we were allied I'm
the war.
But the day OF reckoning seems to
be at hand. The people involved
spoke in no uncertain tones at Tues
| days elections. That they will speak
more emphatically and more con-
clusively at next years contests is
| not doubted.
