OR a goodly number of its citizens New York is not only the F one city in the world to live in, but also the ono they would) wish to have the best government, the fairest name, the biggest future, ' No one would deny that upon this kind of citizenship the welfare 1 sod progress of New York depend. How have these citizens beon thinking and voting to-day? What has been their purpose, their earnest hope? | Has it been to bring about @ return of Tammany, with the graft,| { venality and red-light rottenness which Tammany rule has smeared. upon the city record? Has it been to open the City Hall to a Murphyized Mayor and a } hungry crew of contract-hunters and patronago-seekers? i Has it been to deliver the city into the hands of the disloyal— } sither to the open anti-Americanism of the Socialist-Pacifist party or to the more insidious and dangerous disloyalty of a Hearst-Hylan compact sealed with the seal of Kultur? God forbid! Loyal, clear. strength. We shall soon know how powerful it has proved to protect the government of the city from the clutching fingers of Tammany, also ite power to hold New York steady and true to the larger principle of patriotism which we have seen the great reality of war, reacting upon the characters of men, make even a municipal issue.

Rumors that the United States will demand a singlo war head with power to enforce co-ordination in the military opera tions of the Allied nations fighting against the Central Powers, point to a welcome reinforcement of hard American common sense. If such supreme directing power had existed earlier there might be no need today for hurried gatherings of Allied A Premiers and Generals at Rome, while German armies push ecross the Tagliamento. ——4 + —___. ; THE CASUALTY LISTS. HE people of the United States read yesterday the casualty list of the first trench fight in which American troops have been directly engaged with Germans. Killed: Wounded: Captured or Missing. j How many Americans saw those words in capital letters yesterday | } on the front pages of the newspapers with a sudden catch in the’ throat at the thought how many times they must see them there! again! They have begun—the casualty lists. From now on there are likely to be few days when captions and names in cold, hare type fail to bring grief or dread suspense to more than one American heart. No need to remind us that in France and England these lista’ have multiplied and lengthened without respite through three years and more. Each nation that goes to war must learn for itself to! Dear its casualty lists. In its own way each must learn to read them with tender sorrow and sympathy, yet with constantly strengthened | determination. | No man has ever found better words for it than did Lincoln at! Gettysburg—words this nation knows by heart: “that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devo- tion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain” «© e e | Could the people of the United States do better than take this| noble utterance of their earlier great war President and place it rev- erently and wth his spirit of “high resolve” above every list that eomes to them bearing the names of Americans killed overseas while fighting for the cause that would have been his cause? —— oo Murphy to Quit {f Hylan Loses._Headline, Feb. 6, 1914, Murphy was thus quoted: “I am not going to retire.
