ITH enemy powers collapsing, armies surrendering and mo- mentous councils deliberating in the final phase of the great war; with problems of profound and far-reaching impor-) tance for this and other nations to be dealt with in a peace settlement that now seems close at hand, the people of the United States go to, the polls to-morrow to clect a full national House of Representatives,| some forty United States Senators, thirty-two Governors and a large | number of State officers—legislative, executive and judicial. With so many larger aspects of the national welfare impressed upon the national mind, the great majority of level-headed Ameri- , cans will not cast their votes to-morrow with the primary idea of fur- thering the fortunes of any political party. The intelligence of the American elector ought to measure up to the bigness of the moment. He knows that what the country is going to need in the imme diate future is men who will help to guide its destinies, not for party profit but for the full and glorious completion of its great part in the war, for the upholding of its fundamental ideals and purposes, for the safeguarding of prosperity. Peace and the vast problems connected therewith gre not party issues, ' + The application of American standards of justice and disin- terestedness to great international readjustments following the war is not a party issue. The treatment of the industrial, economic and labor complica- tions that will inevitably arise with the return of peace in a way to cause the least loss and hardship among Americans goncrally is not @ party issue. The delicate procedure required to restore a Government cen- tralized to unprecedented extremes for the needs of war to a state conforming to permancnt American principles of government is not a party issue. : What the country needs in Congress and in all public offices is men whosg mental calibrdQpombined with sound Americanism, will insure their tackling these unusual problems and solving them—not with an eye to party advantage, but with a whole-souled, non-partisan determination to do their best by the Nation in the proud position in which it now stands. ‘That is the kind of candidate for public office that should appeal inmost strongly to American voters at the present time. Through the inevitable tangle of party machinery, party plat- forms and party labels, that is the kind of candidate many electors} Exercises as a Safeguard Against Influenza in the United States are going to search out and vote for to-morrow. Whether. Democrat or Republican, the safer man at this momen- tous juncture is the man whose intellectual grasp and dependableness pht him nearer the high, disinterested plane upon which impending questions of deep import deserve to be discussed. ‘That safer man is the man to vote for, whatever emblem a party system makes it necessary to pin upon him. What is true of national elections this year is true of State, elections. Here in New York, for example, when there loom just ahead a thonsand purely practical problems of after-war economy, efficiency and improvement affecting the well-being of ten million people in this State, voters are invited to re-elect a Governor whose record has been before all else that of a man pre-occupied with his own politic: ture. Tf he fails of re-election it will be not because he is a Republican, but because his Republicanism is of a type which is far from meeting the needs of the people of New York State at one of the most exacting! thponmh jncreeming the. see. of your periods in the Nation’s history. —_-+-____ Following the worst disaster in the history of local transit in the City of New York, Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company officials and their striking employees hastily got together and, aghast at the indirect result of the conflict between them, com pounded their differences, It would seem that such terrible warning might of itself be enough to aave a far-reaching effect upon all workers and employers in public utilities involving the safety of millions It is for the law, however, to reinforce the warning with Punishment that will not be forgotten, Also, it is about time to establish the principle that in instances where public safety is threatened, failure to arbitrate is a crime, and a strike no better than manslaughter, Letters From the People Says Phone Girls May Join Union.
