The Election In Maine
Maine, fo often referred to as the "barometer" State, has been es
sentially Republican since the election of McKinley in 189G. The pres
ent pivernor, Oaklry C. Curtis, a Democrat, was elected only on account
w")f a split in the Republican vote. His vote in the last election was
6'2,0:V.). Mr. Holmes, the Republican candidate, was close behind with
5SS''2. while Mr. Gardner, the Progressive candidate, received a total
'of lVJ"2o. Had the vote of Mr. Holmes and Mr. Gardner been com
bined at that time it is plain that Curtis would have been defeated by
Homethinu like 15,000 votes. In the last senatorial fight in Maine the
Republican candidate, Edwin C. Burleigh, was elected, That was two
years ago. The present Democratic senator from Maine, Charles F.
Johnson, who has now been defeated, was elected four years ago. Of
the members of the House from Maine Messrs. Hinds, Teters and Guern
sey are Republican. There is only one Democrat in the present House
from that State Daniel J. McGillicuddy. The vote in Maine last
week was X,000 more than at the ''previous election, which, with the
Re publican and Progressive votes combined, had caused some author
ities to figure that Carl E. Milliken. the Republican candidate for gov
ernor this time, would poll a plurality vote around 20,000. His ac
tual plurality was nljout 13.X00.
The Maine election, therefore, while it shows a gain for the Repub
lican party- in Congress, does not pan out as well as might reasonably
have been expected. With the combined vote of Republicans and Pro
gressives the Republican candidate for the Senate won by only 4,500
votes, while the vote for the members of the house remained almost un
changed.
i ne results in .Maine, wiien summed up, are men as to give en
couragement to the Republican party .showing a very considerable return,
at least, of the Progressives to their proper fold. If the same condition
or i mugs exist in all oi tne northern and western Mates it will mean a
Republican House next year and probably a Republican Senate, while
the combined strength of the two elements of the Republican party
should land .Air. Hughes.
Maui's County Fair
Maui is making a very ambitious start toward her county fair which
will be held at ailuku November 30 to December 2, inclusive. Quite
an elaborate program has already been gotten out by Mr. F. G. Krauss,
the chairman, ami a study of it, together with an eye to the list of prom
inent Maui citizens taking an interest m the affair, leads one to the
opinion that the effort will be quite a success.
The county fair is a proposition that miglft well engage the atten
tion of all the larger islands. Kauai could develop it to the pleasure and
profit of a great many people. We are going in for the various frills of
homestead ing on this island, and the swapping of ideas and the impetus
evolved from competition afforded by fairs of this sort are important.
In agricultural communities on the mainland the county fair is re
garded !ts a fixed institution. It stimulates effort to excel in agronomy,
stock raising and kindred industries. Hawaii and Maui are developing
the idea quite creditably licre, and we think the time is approaching
wnen Kauai should also give serious consideration to the same subject.
Increasing Cost Of Paper
In regard to the above subject, the last available issue of Popular
Mechanics contained the following:
Jllst now the liriee of Tinner ia Rnnrinrr rtiin in narf tr lnnvnnnnrl nni
i i l - ..... ...f, uv ... uiv w iiivxvtinvu wrl
of manufacture, but largely to demand. With improved trade conditions
i i.i . ... . .
nusiness men oy inousanus are printing catalogs and other announce
ments with a result that paper is selling for twice what it brought six
months ago. Even at the present high prices concerns are ordering a
year's supply of office stationery and envelopes, when a six months' sup
ply would be reasonably safe and help bring supply and demand togeth
er. A most excellent suggestion is made by George F. Lord, advertising
manager of a very large company, who states' that his concern had intend
ed to double the size of their house organ with 200,000 circulation per
month, but will not do so at present, in order not to further disturb the
paper situation. They also have adopted half-size letter heads for all
short U tters, and are carrying out the same principle in all their printed
matter. As Mr. Lord suggests, if all business men would adopt the' same
policy every purpose would be equally well served and a saving effected
which would be surprising.
As the above lines were being written, some mail was laid on the
desk, and the very first piece proved a glaring example of useless waste.
An envelope !) by 12 inches, made of heavy bond paper, contained a sheet
of fine bristol board the same size, and a sheat of heavy, expensive paper
which when unfolded spread out 18 by 24 inches. Only four of the eight
pages contained any printing, and the first page, 9 by' 12 inches, carried
just eight words in modern-sized type; another page contained only 23
words, and the entire text spread over four pages could easily have been
printed on one page without omitting a single word. Here then were
eight large pages, of which four were white paper, where one page would
have answered. And the burden of the story told was that somebody
had "increased his revenue" a certain per cent! And a day's mail brings
to iim.-t business men an armful of paper wasted, most-of which prompt
ly finds its way into the wastebasket.
Time was when the printed page, whatever its message, wag almost
sacred, simply because it was printing on paper. But our children know
it not.
Return Of The School Teacher
The average school teacher is a quiet, retiring, unassuming body,
with no conscious realization of her importance, and with no suspicion
that the community is waiting for her advent, or that any one is won
dering what she is like, or what she is going to do. Theoretically, at any
rate, in the minds of many people, she is the most inconspicuous an un
important person in the community, and the salary she gets ordinarily
tallies very well with that conviction. But when it comes to practical
influence and impress on the interests and affairs of the community, the
teacher is a factor of life not by any means to be overlooked or forgotten.
The very tides of life hangs on her advent, and the social and domestic
machinery of the community springs into motion at the touch of her
fingers.
Children come trooping home from vacation outing and all the
routine of the home is resumed the schools have opened. Parents come
back from trips to Honolulu or to the Volcano, or to the coast, reluc
tantly, perhaps, but they "must get back for the opening of school."
Children throng the roads and fill theairwith noise and racket and child
ish glee the sehuols have opened. The social life of the community
wakes up from the drowsiness of the Dug Days, and every one is on the
qui vive to welcome back the old friends, and make the acquaintance of
the host cf new teachers that have come the schools have opened. The
church takes on a new vitality. There are more people to come to
church, new voices for the choir, now, and who knows what charming
personalities and inspirations to enjoy; a new impulse in the air the
schools have opened.
The visit of the St. Louis was the big event at Waimeaat the week
end and was a matter of great interest to the whole island. The guests
of the island, if they mav !e so termed, were given a warm welcome l.v
the people of that side, and the third battalion of the National Guard
certainly scored immensely in the entertainment put up, not only for
the olliccrs of Hawaii's training ship but for local people from far and
near.
Mt'CH praise was heard of the music dispensed by the Fourth In
fantry band at the Waimea hall Friday evening.. It proved that our
finesf'band is not only up to the mark in park concerts and on parade
but is second to none in supplying dance music.
