' HAVE IT OVER WITH
' Congress has enacted a now tariff almost
a straight free-trade tariff. The effect of that
policy on tho industries of tho nation will be
bad enough. The needless delay has been im
measurably worse. Hero it is almost mid-September.
Congress has boon in session all sum
mor. The rosult could have boon as easily se
cured six months ago as today.
Gontlomon with apondicitis may dread the
knifo, but thoy will being convinced that the
surgoons havo decided on an operation prefer
instant action to distracting delay.
Tho loss of revenue will bo large; but tho
loss of business men through tho tiresome
time-destruction of the past summer has boon
many times groator. Tho injury to American
'enterprise, tho loss to labor, tho enforced re
adjustment of activities and of -processes will
bo severe. But nothing can equal tho dam
ago done by delay.
Tho currency bill romains. Tho Democrats
havo the powor. Thoy know what thoy want.
TlYoy"l?now what that now law is going to bo.
In tho name of a troubled yot patient nation,
havo it ovor with.
Pass tho laws and quit!
When thou would'st havo mo go with thoo, 0 DonUi,
Ovor tho utmost vorgo, to tho dim placo,
Practlco upon mo with no armorous grace
Or rawnlng lips, ana words or dollcato breath,
And curious music thy luto uttoroth;
Nor think ror mo thoro must bo soughtout ways
Or cloud and terror; havo wo many days
Sojourned togothor, and is this thy faith?
t Nay, bo thoro plainnoss 'twlxt us; conjo to mo
Evon as thou art, 0 brothor or my soul;
Hoftd thy hand out and I will place mlno thore;
I trust thy mouth's Inscrutable Irony,
V And doro to lay my rorohood whore tho whole
Shadow lloa deop or thy purpuroal hair.

THE MEANING OF THE iMAlNE ELECTION.
Folks are very much like human beings.
Like causes in like conditions produce like re
sults. Tho people of Maine are much like people
in other sections of the country. The congres
sional olection of last Monday proves the living
strength of tho Republican party. It is a sug
gestive tip to gentlemanly manufacturers of new
parties that a going concern is stronger than
a prospect. It may bo interpreted as a robuko
to alleged politicians who always havo wanted
J,o bo captains, but never have had tho ability
to persuade the people to give thorn commis
sion. It isn't necessarily a rebuke to President
Wilson's administration. That district is Re
publican. No one was looking to it for an In
She turned from others who possessed
Fair talents and high aspirations;
With but ono purpose in hor breast,
She scorned their earnest protestations;
Thoy said sho throw horseir away,
Thoy spoko her name a trlflo sadly,
But caring not what thoy might say,
Sho spoiled her llfo, and did it gladly.
Uollovlng hltn a god, sho turned
Prom thoso who would have sorved her kindly.
Sho hoard tholr ploas, and, unconcornod,
Wont downward to disastor blindly;
She might havo morltod ostcem
And swootly graced a lofty station,
But, droamlng tho old futlio dream,
She blltholy hurried to damnation.
Sho learned too lato that they wore wlso
Who had ondoavorod to dissuade hor;
Sho saw tho ovll In his oyos
Who thought It manly to dogrado hor.
Thoy coldly bade hor pay hor dobt,
But ho was wolcomod as a brothor,
And calmly glvon loavo to got
Ills tornados upon another.

dorsomont of national Democratic policy. No
ono made it "a princo and a judge over us."
But it is a confession that tho mid-summer
madnoss of tho professional progressives is
without foundation or hope. Not a jot of good
in government domandod by tho now party but
is bred in tho bono and strong in tho blood of
tho Republican party. Not a roform domandod
by shifty orators of tho now but is ingrained in
tho spirit and tho mission of tho old. And be
fore tho "progressive" manager's excuse that
hn "had no money" can be acoopted tho oloc
torato of Maine must bo convicted of willing and
waiting corruption.
And tUoro should bo no pluming of foathors
by stiff-necked gentlemen in the old organiza- ' 'H
tion, either. Th Monday clorlum in Maine ""'
doesn't by any manner of means declare that fl
"No Thoroughfare" signs can bo safely sot lin tho (fl
public highways. Thoro has been too much H
perverse and gratuitous insistence on the stand- ' fl
pat policy; loo much sheer stubbornness; far "fl
too much mulish refusal to go forward and 9
for no bettor reason than tho mule's. It isn't
in kooping with tho traditions of the party. It
isn't in fulfillment of the pledge made by the
party's founders, indorsed by tho parly's leaders
through more than half a century, and sanctified H
and blost by tho parly's triumphs in the progress H
of this nation. H
Tho successful candidate thoro in Maino is H
right. Tho result of tho election moans Ilepubli- H
can party progress. That means progress for H
the United States of America. Itmcajis ad- H
vanoomont for tho world. II means boltormont H
for the race, now and through all the future. H
Hero in tho early days of tho Twentieelh H
Century comes once more perhaps for Ihe last B
time on earth tho question: Can a great nation H
bo successfully directed by Ihe mass-meoling H
plan? Is not representative government a bolter H
system for a hundred million people? Demo- H
cratic dominance makes the answer doubtful. H
Tho result in Maino brings encouraging hopj H
that serious purpose and capablo control again H
will bo tho order of tho day. H
Tho mob shall not rule. Clamor can not H
change conditions. God's in His Heaven. All's H
well with tho world. H
