It certainly was a New Hampshire, Maybe now some folks will stop chewing quinine capsules. The motto of the Russians seems to be "while there is life there is hope." When aviators fight it can well be said that they "flew at each other's throat." After a brief vacation from public attention Grim Visaged War has returned. Nothing now to bar a patriotic American-public from being thankful this Thanksgiving. Since daybreak last Wednesday we suppose Bill Hearst has had to con stantly whiff smelling salts. There appears wide speculation up on just how Democracy emerged; or will emerge from the recent scrap. As a party, perhaps, it comes forth some what battle-scarred and 'minus some of its former strength, but as a prin ciple, as a motive power beating with in the breasts of people and prompting them to go forward, it comes out ab solutely unscathed, in the pink of condition and., by far stronger than ever. It only bears scars as a party because seme of the newly elected congressmen simply do not bear the label "Democratic Party." But , their ideas are democratic; their motives are in accord with democracy. There is only difference in a name. The west has demonstrated that it is largely democratic. The party name of "Republican" clings, as a matter of custom, of habit, to the westerners, but their ideas are not of the Repub lican brand. They ar4 known as . Pro gressives and with few exceptions their ideas are far from those of the Republicans of the east. They split away from the Republicans of the east on those big stand-pat policies that draw a division between capital and labor, and that uphold classes to the injury of the masses. But for the custom of the title and the habit of voting under such name there would only be Republicanism in spots in the west, and these spots would be few and far between Therefjre, while it appears that Democratic con gressmen will be a few less in the next congress than in this it does not mean that democracy has been weak ened. The loss of the next House to the Democrats is due especially to the ex ternal questions that injected them selves into the election. By districts the element that were seeking revenge upon the Democratic party cquld make themselves sufficiently felt to be the deciding power. Yet even at that, in the melee of excitement, they . RQWING AMONG THEMSELVES. The situation that would have been created ,bad Hughes been elected, is reflected in the manner in which; the Republican leaders; or many of them, 1 ' iiiuii'h are now placing the blame upon ach other. Mr. O'Leary blames lit all Mr. Jeremiah OTieary blames it all on Theodore Roosevelt; Republican suff ragette; leaders in the west are as sessing the fault against the women's "golden special," that came out of the east to instruct the western women how to' cast their ballots and thus stirred resentment; Senator-elect Hir am Johnson "cusses" the reactionaries of California for it, and various other leaders claim that the Republican party was so bent on carrying the east that it neglected the west. Thus J go lamentations, demonstrating con clusively the temper of those arrayed, against Mr. Wilson, and showing how, if they had been in power, they would have, .fought among themselves both as' to policies and legislation. The truth of the matter is that none of these ' things was responsible. The Democratic party did not win by omission of the enemy, but by its own commission made up of its record. In proof of this is the fact that it won in the agricultural sections where wild emotions do not surge with such fury as in the big cities and where hidden factors do not have much in fluence.' If ever a party attempted to belittle what another had accomplished this was the case in the past campaign. If ever a party summoned to its aid all discontented elements, without offer ing them chance of being made con tented and in the face of the obvious fact that they could not possibly dwell together in unity, this was so in the campaign, while many things were done to muddy the waters. Yet the Democratic party was triumphant. So Republican leaders, as much as they may desire to console themselves,- are on false premises when they tax one another with being the :,4sg ,jmmmmmatmmmtmmtimimiitiiMm i in nu mi.n. ,11 hmh.l.ij.iiiui mi niiiiii i imuuuu liuijmm"iiViiiiijiwijju', j 1 Philadelphia, Nov. 11.

Don't know but what a man should be delighted to be able to eat most anything these days. "Friends of Colonl Roosevelt have started a boom for him for president in 1920" 00111 is Ffinfl mprininp- s noise. The woman congressman is red headed. However, its what's inside and not outside . the cranium that counts most. The result of the election also dem onstrates the heretofore seemingly im possiblethat Theodore Roosevelt can keep quiet.' , While Henry Ford doesn't appear to have converted Michigan in the past election, he did his best and that is all any man can do. Maryland folks would have Emer son, the bromo-seltzer king, made sec retary of the navy. This idea, how ever, will likely fizzle out. A man named Lynch was defeated for office in a middle western state. Possessing such a cognomen he should run for office in Georgia. The re-election of President Wilson is only a catastrophe to the Repub lican party and why should evil not be the victim of disaster? "The greatest good to the greatest number" is the Democratic doctrine. Therefore while Mr. Hughes and a few are gloomy today, think of those who are happy. In view -of his note of resignation from Jhebench, it may be in better taste, as sincerity goes, for Hughes never to wire congratulations to Pres ident Wilson. Yet the cold wave now sweeping the west is ' probably not a circum stance in temperature to the frost the Republicans encountered last week west of the Mississippi. Some yap in Cincinnati has chal lenged the President to a duel. .He probably made a mistake. The' gent who eats them alive dwells in Oyster Bay and; just at this time is prob ably in a good humor to fight most anybody. a scant majority, while, regardless of this factor tha Democratic party was enabled to elect the head of its ticket and retain a firm and adequate hold on the United States Senate. The party lost some of the old Senators, but it gained new ones. The Senators lost were like the defeated Congress men in those districts where the par adoxical elements combined to wreak tvengeance on tne Democratic party. In the aiation, the Democratic party was supreme, and while it may be con- M$&M$te8k some ground in thfe Houste -'of Representatives it did not do so in the Senate. Therefore the preponderance of evidence is on the' side of the Democratic party. It is unfortunate that both branches of congress will not be in control of the majority party, because legislation may be halted. But this check will not be to the injury of the Democratic party. If there is any attempted in jury, tnrougn interference by a Re publican controlled House, it will be to the injury of the Republican party, as the people will thoroughly under stand the situation. But even with such a condition prevailing the Re publicans will be unable, to repeal any of the Democratic legfslation already passed and what is further needed can be passed . before the next . congress. Then the Democratic party can, in the circumstances, afford to . wait, while its measures are placed in operation. All of the machinery of government, of course, remains in the hands of the Democrats. The President makes all appointments and the Senate con firms them. the Democratic administration won. that THE VERDICT OF THE BORDER. THE DEATH 'OF CYRUS B, WATSON. The state loses another one of its foremost citizens, humanity loses an other helpful factor and the ranks of the Confederate warriors become thin ner by the passing of Hon. Cyrus. B. Watson, of Winston-Salem. "Cy" Watson was known in every section of the State. He was known as a Christian and a patriot. He had served his country, his Southland and his state will and with devotion. In the Sixties he fought with unsur passable courage for the Southern cause, and, after the smoke of the bat tle had cleared away, he returned to a devastated State to take up new burdens but to conquer them. As well as being one of the most be loved and admired citizens, he was one of the State's leading lawyers. Another Wilmingtonian that did big work for the re-election of President Wilson was Mr. Hugh MacRae. As treasurer of the Wilson campaign fund for North' Carolina, Mr, MacRae worked untiringly and with splendid result. Not only , did Mr. MacRae suc ceed in making a report for the Old North State, that ranked with the best, but in calling for contributions he dis seminated Democratic literature that was powerful. It was the strongest kind of argument in behalf of the re election of ' Mr. Wilson and many of the papers of the State found it expe dient to cite it. In fact, it was cited, outside the State, and with splendid effect. Another crushing blow. To those who have been railing that the Mexi can policy of the Wilson administra tion was inadequate, craven and re sented, can be1 cited the record of the border states in the election. All re turned majorities for . President Wil son. This included New Mexico, in which President Wilson four years agO While the plurality candidate was really the minority when the combin ed vote of Taft and Roosevelt, repre senting Republicanism, was taken in to consideration. New Mexico, too, has had as its leader Senator Fall, Re publican, one of the bitterest oppon ents of President Wilson and the man said to have provided all the Mexican campaign thunder for the Republican spellbinders and Republican literature. Yet New Mexico returned a majority for Wilson and elected a Democratic Senator. The border states are more concern ed personally over the Mexican situa tion than others and can understand the situation better. It is a case of life and death to them. They uphold the President. It has been argued that the soldiers were discontented on the border; that they understood and opposed the Pres ident's policy. Yet the vote so far re ported from the border does not sub stantiate this. The soldier vote tf Minnesota so far recorded shows very little difference in favor of the Re publican candidate. This is really an endorsement of President Wilson, as Minnesota has been a Republican state, and it demonstrates that the men did not deem their presence on the border unnecessary or that hard ships were being imposed on them. If they had, they would have voted overwhelmingly for Hughes. The re sult of their voting so far shows that, if anything, they did not deem the Mexican situation an issue. Net deem ing it such is evidence that there is nothing wrong with it. One Hundred Years Ago Tcdny. 1816 John Wesley Olmstead, no led Baptist clergyman and editor, born in Saratoga cQiinty, N. Y.

SHELLXEX A PLEASANT COINCIDENCE. It is something exceptional, perhaps precedent making, in having father and son presiding over two high courts in the same city at the same time. Yet this is now transpiring in Wil mington. Judge Henry G. Connor is presiding over the Federal Court, while Judge Geo. W. Connor, his son, is presiding over the State Superior Court. The eagle-eye of Editor Britton, of the Raleigh News and Observer, found the following: ."Looking over a copy of the Phila delphia Record of September 30 yes terday we came across a 'condensed biography' of Charles Evans Hughes given by a correspondent, Horace C.
