To the partisan only does the result
of Tuesdays eUl.on spell politics dis
aster. The mere fact that Republicans
may control the legislative branches
of the Government under the presiden
cy of Mr. Wilson for the next two
years does not necessarily mean the
end of constructive legislation, nor a
less exaction of stern justice from
Germany. A united America was
in the war to win, and Republicans a
well as Democrats have done their
part toward winning it. The man foi
whom streets and squares in Europeai
cities are being named still stands un
tarnished as the champion of worli;
democracy and will bow to the verdict
of bis countrymen, though it did not
conform to his appeal of October 2fth.
The appeal, no doubt made for what
he considered best, was absolutely un
necessary and was couched in Huch
terms as to be easily and effectiveh
converted into an adverse political
triumph. With absolutely nothing to
stand on, with no hope of republicai
victory at the polls, Mr. Wilson's pica
hal the effect of directly questioning
the sincerity of republican statesmen
with the inevitable result .that within
little more than a week's time that
party rotuied itself into action and de
feated the appeal with the ballot.

MISS HILDA MUHLHAUSER 1 "LOVE THAT SUBDUES EARTH"
Robert G. Irtgersoll's Beautiful Trib
ute to Women Has Been Sur
passed by Few Writers.
It takes a hundred men to make
an encampment, but one woman can
make a home. I not only admire
woman as the most beautiful object
ever created, but I reverence her as j
the redeeming glory of humanity, the
sanctuary of nil the virtues, the pledge
of all perfect qualities of heart and :
head. It Is not Just nor right to lay
the sins of men at the feet of women.
It Is because women nre so much
better than men that their faults are
considered greater. A mun's desire Is
the foundation of his love, but a wom
an's desire Is born of her love. The
one thing In this world that Is con
stant, the one peak thnt rises above
all clouds, the one window In which
the light forever burns, the one star I
that darkness cannot quench, Is worn- j
au's love.
It rises to the greatest heights, it
sinks to the lowest depths. It forgives
the most cruel Injuries. It Is peren
nial of life nr.d grows in every climate.
Neither coldness nor neglect, harsh
ness nor cruelty, can extinguish It. A
woman's love Is the perfume of the
heart. This Is the real love that sub
dues the earth the love thnt has
wrought all nilrncles of art that gives '
ns music all the way from the cradle
Bong to the grand closing symphony :
that bears the soul away on wings of
fire. A love that Is greater than pow
er, sweeter than life nnd stronger than
death. Robert G. Tngersoll.

Aerial Tank.
An aerial tank has been Invented
and put into practical use by Italian
soldiers who have astounded the world
by their extraordinary feats In moun
tain warfare. An Austrian machine
gun emplacement was so situated on
a mountain side that It poured a har
assing Are into an Italian post. The
Austrian position was unassailable by
ordinary means, but It was necessary
that It be wiped out. A "Teleferiea"
car. many of which ore operated by
the Italians across chasms and up
mountain sides, was armored and
equipped with machine guns. Volun
teers were called for. and from the
many who responded two were chosen
to man the guns. This improvised
aerial dreadnought was then swung
out across the valley. After one or
two exploration trips at a dizzy height,
the men In the car finally located the
Austrian post and quickly put it out
of action.

"Deor Sir : I called at your office on

Speed Indicators.
A useful Instrument, especially In
clouds, Is the air speed indicator. This
tells the pilot his speed through the
nlr. It also helps him to know wheth
er he Is rising or descending. For In
stance, If the speed of the machine fly
ing level Is 100 miles nn hour, any
speed registered abate thnt will show
that the machine is coming down, nnd
anything below It that the machine
Is climbing. The difference in speeds
will show to what extent the craft is
descending or climbing. There is also
u proper fore-and-aft level to indicate
climb and descend, but for various
technical reasons the pilot usually de
pends on the air speed Indicator.
