The Campaign and the Issues.

. The campaign has been fought on
domestic issues. Stumpers have dis
cussed the tariff. the bonus, ship sub
sidy, prohibition, taxation and the
farming interests, taking them up and
strcssing them-now this one, now
that-according to local demands.
Only one stumper Of national conse-
quence has seemed to protest the pro-
gram, and his protest was soon
silenced. Gov. Cox. fresh from his
European trip, started out with some
aggressive references to the league
Of nations. but obeyed hunch that he
was off the key, and switched to home
affairs.
This has been in line with the propo-
sition that we put our own house in
order before further considering for
eign affairs; that it is in serious dis
order and needs close and exclusive at
tention: that, indeed, until order has
been restored here at home and every
thing is in shipshape again we shall
not be able, even with the most un-
selfish spirit, to contribute much to
the outside worlds we'll being.
Tuesdays mandate, therefore. will
bear mainly if not exclusively on mat
rers relating to Americas we'll being;
G. a return to normalcy, the route
that should be taken and the pace set;
on getting ourselves in trim again to
lend hand in our own way in cases
where our sympathies have been
aroused and the worlds best interests
may be served.
The mandate will not have a seven
million majority behind 1t, but let us
hope it will be emphatic enough to
secure attention on all sides.

The Proposed Phone Rate Cut.

The voluntary reduction III tne Cn-
limited telephone rate sought by the
Chesa peake and Potomac Company is
to be considered by the Public Ctili-
ties Commission with regard to
whether it should apply solely to that
class of service or should be extended
To the limited service as well. The
companys proposal is that the $4,000
household unlimited phones be cut
from $3.50 TO SIS month. reduction
of S. IL year for each subscriber. or
about Sos, 900 from the company's
annual income. This is based upon
the estimate that the present rates are
Welding a return of 713 per cent on
Il fair valuation Of the holdings Of the
corporation, calculated at S15.I61 SAT.
II this cut of so cents month for
unlimited service is approved the re-
turn will be brought down 10 about s
per cent.
This voluntary reduction Is an evil
dence of gratifying regard by the
corporation for the public benefit. 1t
may, OF course, be in anticipation OF
an official action to bring the rates
down to the point of lower and from
the public point Of view a more rea-
sonable return. The company has in
dicated its preference as to the class
of service to be benefited by this
charge. The utilities commission may
consider that other classes Of the serr-
ice should also be benefited. The COM
ranys argument in this proposal Is
that by the suggested course the
largest single group would receive
material benefit. inasmuch as limited
and two-party services are not only
less in number hut pay smaller tolls.
and to spread the net reduction IN
revenue over all domestic users would
result in u scarcely appreciable lower
ing of the rates in these two classes.
This course OF the Chesapeake and
Potomac Company in itself proposing
reduction in rate is in keeping with
its policy in the past. In 1901 the un-
limited rate, which had been previous
" $3.50. was brought down by the
companys action to IS, three years
later to ST. and in the same year to
So. and in 1906 the rate reached
minimum of 81, where 1t remained
until In 1919 in the war emergency
the rate was brought back to IS. and
after the war the utilities commission
increased it to $3.50.
The purpose Of the telephone system
is to provide communication facilities
to the people. and they should be just
as cheap as it is possible to make them
consistently with the right Of those
whose capital is invested in the plant
to d return upon their money. The
rate now proposed. S. a month with
cut limit of use. is. in view of the wide
extension of the service, including
larger number Of phone connections
than ever before. hardly to be con-
sidered as excessive. though it is up
to the Public Utilities Commission to
determine whether the proposed reduc-
ton should be applied to one class or
to all.

Europe Looking On.

Europe is watching America more
closely than ever before. No political
campaign in this country ever at.
tracted as much attention in that
quarter as has the one now in prog
resS. Statesmen, financiers, manu-
facturers. distributors. ocean carriers.
all are reading the daily news from
this side of the big water with keen
interest. Their own affairs are still
in a state of great complication and
sufficient to keep them on their toes.
but they have time to give to Amer
lea. too. And they are giving it.
How will the election returns be
read "over there? If they are Of the
democratic complexion will they en-
courage the hope that America may
yet be drawn into the league Of ma
tions? That hope exists in Europe.
Some men in high station, political
and other, are persuaded that two
years ago America voted in a state Of
prejudice and misinfornation about
the league, and have been trusting TO
time to produce change Of feeling.
On the other hand, will another re-
publican victory dissipate this notion,
and satisfy Europe that she must set
her house in order without the Amer
lean assistance she has been soliciting
and is expecting? Shall we see her,
then. forego further propaganda for
u
her own job in good earnest?
All will wish her success in that;
snd the sooner she rolls up her sleeves
and sails in the better it will be for
her and the whole anxious and dis
turbed world.

Let Every American Vote

since recent Congresses at least have
never been Of sufficient nobility Of
character to address themselves to
q task which promised them no per-
sonal returns In their local elections.
At one time in the history of this
nation, mo taxation without repre-
sentation" was considered an argu-
ment important enough to die for, II
necessary. 1nasmuch as the per-
petuation Of the principles estab-
lished in that splendid day is the
whole purpose Of American govern
ment, II seems q selfish unconcern
which permits any body OF citizen
ship in this nation to be deprived
Of that to which their citizenship
primarily entities them. To new
comers 1t must seem peculiar, II not
ridiculous, that there exists at the
seat of government a great body of
men and women who are excluded
from the very fundamentals for
which the United States stands so
signally before the world.
What Washington seems unable to
win for itself. the nation should make
It an immediate business to win for
its National Capital. Let every Amer
ican vote.
