Neither Cheers nor Tears

We may all hope that the feelings of eation and bitter aroused by the national election results wall be temper ate and brief For there job to be done that leaves little time for celebration sukng It is job that requires united effort which has been lacking in the past year and which can be difficult of attainment m the next two years unless there great deal of responsible states manship shown on both sides
 In gaining control of the Congress the Republicans have obviously large of responsibility along with their victory The time has for COP legislators to abandon opposition for opposon sake and put aside veneraties They must justify the faith of their electors with sensible specific program calculated to bring about the change and betermen which the election results cear demand
 The Democrats must bow to the will of the majority, which had kept them in control of Congress for IA years The era of Franklin D. Roosevelt which brought the party unprecedented power and prestige at an end The strong personality that held assortment ot mutually hostile po cal groups together under leadership The party undoubtedly egroup its ranks and assume at least par tially, the role of a responsible minority.
 With Democratic President and Republican Congress there will be greater temptation than before to play
 furious game of partisan politics with an eye on l94S It is dscouraging to oresee what might happea run ming battle vetoes and overriding votes between the White House and the S0th Congress
 Nothing of course could be less desirable. division of partisan control in the governments legislative and ecutive branches ntrnsca and unproductve arrangement. It will require the greatest responsibility and forebearance by all concerned if the country to cover the state of confusion and contradiction which it went to the polls on Tuesday.
 Our economic and industrial machine must be put in order set on track and started forward Recurrent strikes and chronic dissenson must be halted somehow Government can't do the whole ob but at least can snow the way.
 All the material necessities for and prosperity are at hand What is lacking the will to get together and use them In the past year the bitter strife between and labor has been reflected in and quarre dred down to widen further the , breach between management and labor
 This cannot go on much longer Democratic politicians Republican politicians bosses and union bosses have got realize that the protest vote of Nov was protest vote against the parayZng contention for whlcn they all must accept share of blame
 Mr. Truman and the S0th Congress face difficult and dscouragng task They must contve to attack with the same bipartisan strength that being devoted to the equally difficult and dscouragng task of foreign relations To accomplish this will take all the good sense and political conscience that God has given them

pleasure over the way they are administered. The basic reforms were not made an issue.
 They were voting rritations- undoubtedly mag nfed if not exaggerated by war nerves and frustEa- tions-against continued war restrictions continual strikes and evidences Of labor responsibility; at fusion in Government generally.
 The election, it would seem, was no mandate for Republicans or any of their big industrial packers to begin a crusade in Congress elsewhere to throttle or crush labor The majority Of voters spoke, obv- ously, for some means to make labor more respons- be, which might be done by thoughtful legislation, but not by restrictive laws.
 Nor, despite all the wolf cries of Communism" was there any mandate for q witch-hunt
 The temptation tO do both Of these things is manifest among some Republicans judging from their talk in the heat of the campaign and some intemp- crate, vengefu remarks in the flush of their oyer whelming victory.
 That way lies danger to the nation and to the party.
 As well as to the nations the Republican Party has an obligation to its own membership Long observation and knowledge of Republicans in Con- gFess and outside Congress leave the impression that with some exceptions the party in Congress has been less progressive than the majority Of the party outside including governors, local officials and rank ana also should be taken Into partnership on party plans for its Congress program. SO the program will repre- sent the whole party, not just those in Congress
 1t would appear logical to draw some of these outside leaders into the conferences beginning here in . few days, at least in advisory capacity. It is likely that the party may go outside Congress for its next Presidential candidate, and leaders outside of Congress should have say in formulation Of party policy.

BilbO Finished?

WASHINGTON Nov. S-(NEAD-Sen. Theodore c. BiibO of Mississippi seriously in that he may not be able to return to the capital for the new session of Congress If that happens Washington wall be deprived of its unofficial mayor and most con- troversial figure He is reported near death He just isn't The Man he was.
 The afflicion from which Bilbo is suffering brought on by abrasion of the mouth and jaw Bilbo has had to false teeth ever since he was young man He is now 69.
 Fifty years of irritation from bad teeth sent the Senator to New Orleans nfirmary for an operation last Summer More recently he has been in Vicksburg Miss, hospital for treatment.
 Appearing at a funeral short time ago he had his head heavily bandaged and unable to talk In the last few days he has been unable to confer with of his closest associates It's that serious
 Bilbos illness has more than the usual amount Of political complications The that he might not be physically able to return to Washington and be in for the session Of Congress would not neces- sary deprive him of his senatorial seat or salary As in the of the late Senator Carter Glass Of Vr- ginia, the Senate could waive its rules and send Of its officials to the Senator's sckbed to administer the oath.
 Announcement that the Senate War Investigating Committee has some of its Aeuths in Mississippi looking into Bilbos financial relationships with tan contractors, gives the matter different twist.
 By quirk of politics the reelection of Senator Bilbo was hotter campaign issue in New York than in Mississippi. Stirred up by radical and racial ee- ments, New York Democratic gubernatorial candidate James M Mead was forced to take a strong position in denouncing Blbosm.
 From the Southern viewpoint this Northern in- terference in what Missssippians consider strictly their own business is what le-elects Bibo Holding Carter the Mississippi Pulitzer winning editor points this beautifully in his recent arce in the Saturday Evnng Post. It should be must" reading for all Yankees.

Senator Mead was. of course, former chairman of the Senate War Investigating Committee He didn't resign from this committee to run for governor, though he did turn over the chairmanship to Sen. Harley NJ Kigore of West Virginia.
 The political pitch is that the War Investigating Committee will hold public hearings to bring out whatever its investigators are able to dig up Bilbo in Mississippi then turn the report over to the Priv leees and Elections Committee If the evidence is not enough. an effort will be made to keep Bubo from being seated by his senatorial colleagues. though he has been duly elected by the people of Mississippi
 All this involved business Is causing little cern to the decent and honest Southerners who know what the score is They are not concerned for fear hat some rregularity may be hung on Bilbo
 What they really fear is that this new investga- ton will give Bilbo the chance tc yell, as he has yelled for 36 years that he is being -persecuted by damyankees Time after time. Bibo has been elected to public office solely platform of political perse- cution.
 When he first ran for the U S Senate. in 1884. his principal speech rected that while he was newspaper clipper in the Department ot Agriculture, no place was reserved for him to park his car He was reelected to the Senate this year because he charged he being perscutd by his enemies in the North
 The new Kilgore Committee investigation may. therefore be just to Bilbos liking He can thrive on it. make political capital of it. If he again con- vince the people Of Mississippi that he is being per- secuted he will be able to name the man who will be elected governor of Mississippi in l947.
 If by some chance he should be denied his Sem seat he will be able to name the man temporarily appointed elected to succeed him. He could then saddle Mississippi with BilbO machine that would ride the state down for the next 25 years even after Bilbo is dead and in his grave
 That's what the real reform element in MissSsip- pi asks that the state be spared.

FISH SAFETY ZONES
TO BE ELIMINATED

In accord with official action of
the Conservation Commission last
week all no-fishing safety zones in
the states 10000 miles of streams,
including Noble county, and the
no-fiShing SanCtuaries in all lakes
except where lease or other com
mitments are in force, will be elm
mated. The Commission favored
keeping all fishing restrictions at
a minimum to eliminate confusion
on the part of the fishing public.
The more than $50 zones. aver
aging about a quarter of a mile of
stream each, and fish sanCtuaries
in lakes, were established in 1898
for fish refugees during the spawn
ing season. The Commission &C
ton to eliminate them followed a
report of the Fish Management
Section to enforce the regulation,
and the added confusion on the
part of the fishing public, coupled
with the little amount of good re-
sulting from it, does not warrant
continuing the restrictions. This
action is in line with the Commis-
sicn's general policy to give an eX-

lead to ga at the quarter, but could
register only IL more points during
the other three quarters.
In the second quarter, Reed and
Tilton hit for field goals and 1t be-
gan to look as though Caldwell
might pull away TO comfortable
lead but McConnelsville came back
with three buckets to trail only
1910 at the half.
The Big Reds turned on the pres
sure after the intermisSiOn, appar-
emily finding CaldWell's weakness
a pressing man-fOr-man defense.
They hurried the Redskins to such
an extent that they made numerous
bad passes, fumbles, etc. losing the
ball in most instances before they
could get into scoring position. In
fact, Caldwell got only five clean
shots at the basket in the third
quarter, and three in the final per
iod. McConnelsville, on the other
hand, wasn't doing much better but
they managed to get a few points
when they counted most. Delbert
Murphy, McConnelsville ace, gave
the Big Reds their first lead of the
game as he sWished in a field goal

Talk of the game was the fine de
