NO CLASS AGAINST CLASS. .
One of the outstanding features of the elec
tion fc the decided failure of the effort to array
class against class in America, That the move
ment broke daytn absolutely is as gratifying as
the effor was humiliating. This is a land of,
equal opportunity for everybody, with such
safeguards as the constitution and the law can
provide to secure each individual in full liberty
of action, political and Otherwise. On that
foundation the government of the people, by the
people, and 'for the people forever rests, anT
anything otherwise is fraught with grave danger.
When the partisans of thdefeated candidate
set up their appeals to passion and prejudice,
seeking to array one group of citizens against
another; making artificial distinctions a cause
for political opposition; arousing hatreds that
subsist only on, envy or jealousy, they entered
on a dangerous experiment. Happily, the en
deavor proved a boomerang and landed with
terrific force on those who tet it going. Work
ingmen and women declined to be wrought up
by the unreason or the partisan press; "sob
stuff" did not arsnse the women to a frenzy of
devotion to a failing cause, nor could adroit
misrepresentation stir the farmers to activity
against 'the republican party. "
This was particularly true during the closing
days of the campaign, when the "whispering
campaign" reached its height and-a flood : of
mendacity swept over the land from end to end.
Nothing was omitted that might arouse the
baser passions, stir into flame the sparks of
racial prejudice, religious difference, for social
divergence. Some of the contemporaries of The
Bee had an unworthy share in this, and they,
too, must have felt something of the force, of
the rebuke administered by the voters to all
those who undertook to foment discord among
the citizenry along such despicable lines.
The Tke gave its utmost effort to the sup
port of the republican ticket, state and local,
but it did not find room in its columns for "well
supported rumors," whispers of scandal, in
nuendo jr the juggling of facts This paper
feels a pardonable pride, without any tinge of
Pharisaism, in itsK share of the work that pro
duced such avictory It is a triumph for clear
politics, a proof to he woJd that Ameritans
do not approve the mud-slinging methods once
thought to be an inseparable part of a presi
dential election, 'and that decency will always
triumph in the en4.
Woodrow YyUaon and the Country.
Mr. Wilson, j stricken as he is,' guided
"America through perilous years, and is entitled
to the respect of Americans. He made many
errors, he also achieved some solid .reforms,
very often over the protests of his own party
and because of Ae support of the republicans
in congress. He has been criticised justly Tha
Bee believes forTiis errors, both those of pub
lic adminis'ation and those of personal tem
perament. The fact that many who have criti
cised him are ready tiow to waive' further ex
pression Si their differences with him does not
mean that their criticism was solely for political
expediency. They criticised Woodrqw Wilson
primarily because they believed that his admin
istration of the presidency was not for the best
interest of the country, more than that, that in
onie respects it constituted a menace to con
plcte national independence.
But snow that danger is over. It is to be as
sumed that Mr. Wilson will! accept the people's
verdict and in the remaining few, months of his
administration will not attempt to use" such
ppwer as he holds to carry out discredited
policies. If he follows the course which 'good
v sensff and good taste dictates his' critics will join
with others in wishing him health and personal
good fortune.
i
. Expensive Hairsplitting.
The need for full produotiqji during the war
led to the temporary fbolition of a considerable
amount of lost motion. There were months
when supplies of coal were refused to industries
classified as unessential. The employes of these
plants received official notice to find more nec
essary employment'or join the army, v In numer
our instances costly duplication of effort Jsas
displaced by a policy of standardized produc
tion. ' .
A noteworthy example of standardization that
has been carried over intotimes of peace is
that of agricultural machinery. , Under the old
system each implement manufacturer tbrned
out a variety of jlow, won, binder and other
products that was disyinct and different from
all others. ., Repairs were not easily made, for
a part made forne brand of implement would
not fit any other. Tfcis condition was improved
l standardization, and has generally been con
tinued. - "
One .thing Americans have prided themselves
on has been their individuality, but there can
betto much of i this. According to a writer
in the Annalist, te'are 4,000 varieties of jack
knives. 518 varieties of pin stools, 100 shades
of house paint.'and Indifferent kinds- of socks.
This financial Inagazine'.sponsors the statement
ihat VI f American consumers will buy uniform
noods of a few standard patterns, they can save
half the .money they are now paying for the
.uxury ofVhaving thousands ofraricties of the
ordinary articles, of life iri "our national shop
wind
Tli object of Standardized production in war
was speed and quantity production.. These same
factors, it is evident, would alsp reduce costs, 1
not only or jnanuiacrure, oui oi oisiriounon.
Efficiency of this kind need not be carried to
the point of monotony in ordejr to convey a
Measure of its benefits, but the practice -of
standardization of ordinary things might jjive
more time for the development of individuality
in other fields whereat would count Jbr mora
in the-world'svprogress. . , v
Scandal Hits Capital and Labor.
Some ill-timed and poorly-considered expres
sions on part of both employers and employed
are being quoted in course of comment on the
election result. A Daryton manufacturer is re

on this are certain to, be disappointed. Like
wise, those worfcngmen whb think that the
looseness that sprung up during the ar and
has continued since will be permitted to go on
are also hugging a delusion. .
Disclosures of the operations of the "building

wherein associations of employers and worktrs
co-operatedto fleece those who tought to.buila.

these has any claim on public sympathy, and
the lawsh'ould deal with them without distinc

tion has any deep significance; in this regard,'
it may be takf n to mean that the day of the ,
profiteer, whether laborer or employer, is over.
A fair day's work for a fair day's pay is a de
cent rule, and it will be lived up to in th? future
as it was In the. time before the democratic
blunderers loosed the bounds of restraint by put

Not a Measure of Success.
The sarcastic, ironical ""comment of a
York banker, who says he .looks to see4f his
prospective customer has been indicted, taking
the government's, charge as an 'indication that
the victim has been making money, hits one of
the activities of the administration squarely. No
other phase of the Wilson administration is
more open to censure than the operations of
the Trade commissions and the doings of the
Department of Justice. While the most flagrant
of piratical profiteering has been, carried on,
openly and shamelessly, such as the sugar gam

For Better Rail Sejvice.
Indications thjt the Denver' & Rio Grande
railroad will be ' coflibined with one of the
stronger western lines serves to call attention
to a process that will in the next few years be-
the proyisions of the Esch-Cummins lawvwhich
teems to have escaped, general attention, this
amalgamation of weaker roads into a larger iys
tetn is not only encouraged, but rendered neces
sary.' The Interstate Commerce commission, by
this law, is given a mandate to accomplish the
consolidation of -the railroads of the country
into several great competing systems.lrhking
up the lines that have "not paid well with those
that will strengthen tlunr usefulness and possi
ble profit by furnishing better terminal facilities
and giving them better connections. For five
years this movement is left to the voluntary
actions of the railroads, under the scrutiny of
the government. After that period the Inter
state Commerce commission is assigned the duty
of completing the lask.
While it is unlikelfythat any general ten
dency toward combination will be seen for a
vear or more.Mjntil railroads here and there try
it out, the ideaW unification of lines naturally 1
belonging togethsr, is a good .one, prorating

Omaha, Nov. 4. To tho Editor Of
The Bee: I wish to thardf. my many
friends for their t-ffortyTii trying to
elect rue police magistrate. Tho
return show that all were sincere
in their endeavor. According to the
lasest figures only two democrats
oolled over 17,000 votes, and I was
one of them. W.hon a landslide hits,
it is sure to bury. This was my first
step into politics, and the result
should be considered as a victory in
stead of a defeat, and this, is the
thought I wish to convey to my
many good friends who worked so
oarncstly in my behulf.
