STILL IN THE MOOD Whatever else the' voters nuiy have' on their minds, they at least sent a roll of thunder crackling along the horizon in the recent municipal elections, and no weather prophet worth liis salt can fail to read a warning in it. No one party and no one issue triumphed. Instead, it seems that the elec ' torate arose once more with blood in its eye and swung a heavy club. New York gave Tammany Hall a terrific defeat. Pitts burgh elected a Democratic mayor and Cleveland elected a Itepubliciin.'' A Socialist sailed into office in Bridgeport,' Conn., he Vare machine took a licking in Philadelphia,' and Detroit elected the' son of Senator Couzens. In addition, the J8th amendment got its final J blow and within a month it will have ceased to be law. " What does it all mean ? Chiefly, it means that the voters still are on the warpath. They still are in the mood that possessed them a year ago wliich is to say that they are anxious to vote "atrainst." that they are exceedingly critir-nl of 'the "ins." everywhere.

' .' That all this puts the national administration to a severe test goes without saying. It has promised much and it has started much. These promises and these actions must inn the gauntlet of a nation that is tired of fooling. They have got, in plain English, to bo good. The promises must be sincere and the actions must be effective. For the municipal elections simply reaffirm- a temper that was made evident a year ago. There is a grim earnestness to this temper 'that no one can fail to notice.

It turned out that the spy wasn't so reprehensible after all, since he purposely failed in his work, and before the finale, he learned he was a king because of his father's death In the borderland country.
