HOW THE ACCOUNT STANDS Tt does not take much careful observation to determine which party is best standing by the gov- erment in the prosecution of the war. There were in the Senate 44 Republicans and 52 Democrats, and the majority party is always charged with the duty of maintain- ing a quorum, 49 menibers. When the Senate met August 15 to take up the new draft bill, after tele- grams had been sent to all mem- bers of the Senate, regardless of party, there were only 43 mem- bers on hand, and among these were 22 Republicans and 21 Dem- ocrats. On the following Monday there were 58 members present, and of these 29 were Republicans and 29 Democrats. In proportion to their representation in the Sen- ate, the Republicans were stil! furnishing the larger part of the at- tendance. The National Security League jhas found, upon analysis of the votes of members of the House on eight important war measures, only 47 members voted right on all eight issues.. Of these 43 were Republicans and 4 Dem- ocrats. In the Senate it has been found that on the Republican side a fraction more than 76 per cent of the Republicans have supported war propositions, while a fraction less than 75 per cent of the Dem- ocrats have come to the bat in sup- port of the war. In view of the record, it is plain what the voter must do if he wants to stand by the government in pressing this war to a speedy and victorious conclu- sion. GERMAN HAVOC. “We may be thankful,” Von Hind- enburg tells his Germans, “that the war in the form it has assumed has, on the whole, been spared in home territory.” It is hardly necesary to elucidate the meaning of that phrase, “the form the was has assumed.” It is, as the world knows, the form that the war has been given by the Ger- mans, whom civilization now agrees in calling Huns, and who might more properly be described as Vandals. The greatest retreat of recent weeks has’ only added to the sad tale of German-wrought destruction. Hitherto there has been nothing in modern history comparable+*to the havoe wrought by the German army last year when it fell back ito the Hindenburg line and, in so doing, made a desert of Picardy. That de- vastation has been repeated now wherever the German troops have becn able to aceomplish it which is to say, wherever they were not driven back too quickly to give them a chance to loot, burn, raze, bombard and blast as they desired. It has been a revelation to the Am- erican army. Our troops have gazed in amazement at the long stretches of once beautiful countryside laid waste, farmhouses bburnt, woods and orchards lewveled, bridges destroyed,| roads blown up, wels springs polluted and every habitable place or every- thing once useful for human purpose ruined and defiled. The destruction, as usual, has not been at ail confined to military meas- on an_ island and without military value when once its bridges had been blown up, was systematically burned, to the ground in incendiary bombs discharged by a great system of elec- t wires. Montdidier was razed, Noyon, though many buildings still stand, is almost a complete ruin. Town after town, church after church, farmhouse after farmhouse, | has been swept from the face of the earth, furniture has been piled in the) streets and burned, works of art have| been stolen or destroyed, everything | beautiful or serviceable has been ob-|. literated. They intend to repeat this, aparently, wherever there are fore- ed to relinquish foreign soil. And it never seems to dawn on the} perpetrators of these outrages that | 2, day of reckoning isoming. There will be an inevitable day when thé war is carried into Germany... It will be hard, then, to restrain the allied armies from indulging in reprisals, against their own instincts. df they are restrained, Germany will pay, in blood and money and property, and| in tie Sweat and groans of her people for a generation, for all this senseless 2nd bestial destruction. } 15| ment” by President Wilson.

My dear Governor Osborne: Our delight- ful association here in Washington prompts me to send you a word of sincere congratulation on your nomi- nation by the Democrats of Wyoming for the senate. I am following your with the greatest interest. Cordially and sincerely yours, (sign- ed) Woodtow Wilson. Hon. John E. Osborne, Rawlins, Wyoming.” It is rather singular that President Wilson should dismiss in two sent- ences ahd imporisnt matter like the election of a United States senator | and the posible control of the legisla- tive destinies of the nation. Not one word of commendation for past ser- vices in the department at Washine- ton; notone word congratulating the people of Wyoming or the democratic party. The president, as a leader of the democratic party in the nation, could not have said less. It is not such a letter as was given Mr. Davies when he opposed Senator Lenroot. In that campaign the president enter- éd with a whole heart. In this it is rather certain that the president has many misgivings as to the advisabili-— ty of making a change from Senator Warren to one who has no record, political or otherwise, to justify his advancement to the United States Senate.
