New York City Democrats were impressed by that decision but not pleased and their reaction was strenuous.

On the national scene, the single most significant contest was that between Senator Taft of Ohio and the leadership of organized labor whose candidate was a man named Ferguson. This newspaper has frequently disagreed with Taft. We believe his foreign policy is deplorable. But that was 'not the issue in Ohio. The Issue there was whether the Democratic Party could be taken over by the labor bosses or whether it would remain an instrument of the people.

The people won. Labor leaders have often been crude but seldom more so than the way in which they ran their Ohio campaign. If they had whipped Taft, the Democratic Party as we have known it would have disappeared. Taft's smashing victory should have a wholesome effect. It should do more than that.

She does not point out that it Is a civic sin to burn them in the streets or -that they may blow about and start a general conflagration. What flhe does say is that a good many of her neighbors select Monday as leaf-burning day and that this is. an offense against hard-working housewives. Monday Is wash'' day.

Nothing else, it seems, gives a woman the Intense satisfaction of a wash hung out to dry If it has responded well to the wonderful combinations of detergents and bleaches available" these" days and comes out with the white articles white and the colored ones fresh and resplendent. Likewise, nothing disturbs a woman quite so severely as to see her line of laundry threatened by impurities, be they the grimy hands of little children or, as with the lady of our inspiration, the whirling ashes from a burning pile of leaves. Why, the lady wants to know, jniist folks burn their leaves on Monday. We haven't the vaguest Idea. We always thought that this was a Saturday chore or diversion, depending upon how one felt about it: But then, we have never really understood why Monday Is wash day.

Getting clothing dirty is a dally habit and whichever day one selects for getting it undirty will provide the same amount of toil. Perhaps th solution to the lady's problem is to change Wash, days. We doubt It, however. Monday wash day Is too deeply embedded in tradition to yield to change now. It is one of a distinguished company of traditions that has never been seriously attacked.
