A Mott Excellent Outlook
Reports received from Republican
campaigners in this State are, to say
the least, very gratifying to Repub
licans. There is every assurance
that the returns from the election
next Monday will be an unmistakable
recognition of the loyal and effective
work done and the principles for
which the struggle has been made,
and an inspiration to the party
throughout the country.
This in several ways has been a
most unusual campaign. The Demo
crats nominated a standard bearer of
whom there has been no criticism,
but he has labored under the disad
vantage of having nothing to criti
cize in the previous Republican ad
ministration of State affairs and was
able to advocate no serious change
or suggest any improvement. More
over the burdens of the National
Democratic administration could not
be shaken off, and the methods
adopted by those managing the
Democratic campaign have not been
such as appeal to the great majority
of Maine people.
The introduction at a late day of
woman suffrage has contributed an
element of uncertainty, but circum
stances connected with the enroll
ment are very favorable to the Re
publicans. State Chairman Ham's
insistence that the campaign of
education ,be begun early and the
splendid cooperation in this rendered
by Colonel Parkhurst and Mrs. Guy
P Gannett have made possible the
solution of one of the most difficult
problems of education which party
leaders in Maine ever had to encoun
ter.
By his tactful campaign in the
primaries, his untiring work and skill
as an organizer. Candidate Parkhurst
has contributed very largely to the
success promised by the indications.
There are now no factions in the Re
publican party of Maine, and the at
tempt to bludgeon the candidate by
meaps of a business lawsuit^ has
strengthened the lines.
If the message that shall go out
from Maine September I.'i. announces
a Republican victory of 115,000, the
result will be received by the country
as the forerunner of a Republican
landslide in November. There is
plenty of unmistakable confidence in
the ability of Maine Republicans to
do that.
That Income Tax Question
Voters In Maine are'asked to rote,
Monday, on question Xo. 3, whether
without information or mature con
sideration and without any bill to
discuss or limit fixed they will au
thorise the next legislature to impose
an income tax.
Aren't you paying all the tax you
wish to pay? If you are to be com
pelled to pay more wouldn’t you
prefer to know what the limit is to
be? Don’t you think that such an
important power to tax every dbl
lar of your income (In France they
tax down to $300) is entitled to in
vestigation by the people before they
delegate authority to any Legisla
ture?
If so vote "Xo.”

he told the Foreign Relations com
mittee concerning the League of Na
tions about a year ago.

In the Name of Common Sense
Any League of Nation* which may
be devised and prove beneficial must
possess the soul of appeal to the best
instinct* and enlivened conscience
of the world, but, likewise, it must
appeal to reason, and any attempt to
befog that reason by appeal to
mawkish sentimentality, to mere
emotionalism, prostitutes the high
character of the undertaking and im- ]
mediately gives rise to the well
founded suspicion that the purpose
of so-doing is iniquitous.
The methods of appeal resorted to
by the Wilsonians are doing just
that. We have profound respect for
and belief in the possibilities of a
properly constituted league or asso
ciation of nations, notwithstanding
the temper displayed by the world of
today is vastly different from that
shown when it was mired and almost
exhausted in the blood and filth of
war. Its flaming spirit, illuminated
its capacity,’ but the flame is
dimmed, not because of the league
but because of human nature, which
must be considered whatever we do.
Declaration that the Wilson league
will introduce the millenium is but
drivel. There is too much with which
we should occupy our minds to per
mit them to bother with it.
What we want is the truth. We
; want to know why, if the present
' league is to stop war, it isn't doing
1 something besides consider the rail
! road rates in Europe when a good
part of the world, some of it under

direct supervision of the league, is at
war. It is right that we should know.
In one breath we are told this
country will become isolated and os
tracised if it stays out of the league,
and in the next breath the excuse is
made that the league isn't doing
anything because we are out of it
Both statements can't be true, and
the solution may not be found in any
flowery speech addressed to labor
and the wives, sweethearts and moth
ers of our soldiers. Those who at
tempt this are not to be trusted.
Members of the political party in the
name of which these false appeals
are^being made, do not trust them.
Only six Democratic senators after
Investigation of the Wilson league
but voted for a reservation.
At Bangor. Thursday evening. Jo
sephus Daniels, in the midst of his
appeals to the emotions, said: ‘In
my opinion no nation would be able
to hold an unjust attitude to any
people against the opinion of all the
free nations of the world." Then,
why in the name of common sense
didn't Woodrow Wilson recognize the
inevitable and accept the league with
reservations instead of insisting on
force to cram it down the throat?
Such a league would fill to over
flowing the measure of Daniels’
opinion, would have made a begin
ning: would have kept the matter
out of politics where it.doesn't be
long. would have avoided the propa
ganda of misinformation resorted to
for the purpose of retaining Wilson
ism in control of our national affairs.
If Wilsonism might win at the
polls, a most improbable result, it
could not have the league without
those reservations: so much is a cer
tainty before the eyes and cannot be
doubted. Wilson cannot have his
wav. If you are really desirous of
settling this league controversy the
only practicable, effective way to do
so is to choose a Republican admin
istration.
Eternal Vigilance Yet Required.
Since Bryan's announcement that
he will not vote for Cox and not only
that but will work to elect to Con
gress only such candidates as are
known to be ‘*drys.” so that—appar
ently having Cox in mind—if a Pres
ident shall rfot enforce the laws he
may be impeached, a Stirling 'of the
waters is noticeable. McAdoo hast
ens to say that permitting the sale
cf - ..;o and beer would destroy pro
hibition. Presumably others will
follow his lead. It is noticed that the
government proposes to license sale
of stills and otherwise restrict the
operations of those who would manu
facture liquor illicitly. Josephus
Daniels rushes before the footlights
with an order to remove liquor from i
naval medical stores.
It is possible they hope to make it
unnecessary for Cox to be explicit. :
It doubtless would be embarrassing |
for him to publicly repudiate his ;
friends and the men who engineered
his nomination: this. too. at a time '
when the liquor element* is shaping !
up a fight for its life. In many parts
of the country evidence of this is
found. The ‘ newspapers have re
cently shown up a scandalous con
dition in the big cities. N'ew York
and Philadelphia being especially
well stocked. There is some probabil
ity in the report that Ponzi was able
to lure some of his dupes by assum
ing to be engaged in illicit li«fuor
traffic. Quietly but thoroughly the
liquor interests are having a canvass
made of the “wet” sentiment. The
dragon's life is not yet extinct. To
r quote a witty newspaperman's para
phrase of Mark Twain, the death of
i
; John Barleycorn has been very much
1 exaggerated. The price of prohibi
; tion like that of liberty is eternal vig
iiance, nevertheless we may console
; ourselves that the people of this
1 country are much too sensible, the
i advantages of prohibition being ap
< parent, to revert to the old order.

Vote for the Bonus
i We hope and confidently believe
1 the electors of Maine, on Monday,
! will vote “Yes” on proposed consti
I tutional amendment No. 2, “Bonus
for Soldiers and Sailors.”
This is not a reward, rather it is
I a recognition of those who were
! called to the service in the world
; war. We trust it will be regarded as
i such by all concerned. It is the
: only proposition before us whereby
; we may express that recognition,
! which, we fee! sure, the men and wo
men of Maine desire to express. No
: state in the Union has greater cause
for pride in the service rendered.'
The very important fact that en
dorsement of Wilsonism can in no
possible way assure the adoption of
the covenant by a hostile Senate,
which certainly will not approve it
without the equivalent of the Lodge
reservations, is one which Senator
Hale has successfully hammered
home in his effective speeches
throughout the State. It is some
thing which those who think they
may insist on the Wilson covenant
should heed. The Wilson covenant
unamended is dead as a doornail in
Lot's house.

Iteilonts and his men settled in the
year 1«04. three years before the set
tlement of Jamestown.
In excavating for a private fish pond
near his summer home. R. S. McCarter
of Cambridge. Mass., unearthed the un
mistakable remains of an ancient dam
of stone and timbers. -Comparing the
site with the original map of the island
authorities agreed that it must have
been the site of the water mill men

by Sicur DeMonts and his men to grind
their corn, being the largest stream
within an area of several miles on
either side of the river.

I Another Egg
Laying Contest
ORONO, Sept. 10—Another winter
egg-laying contest, along the same
general lines as those conducted in
the. last two years, under the super
vision of the University of Maine ag
ricultural extension service, is being
arranged for. Like its predecessors,
it will begin Nov. 1 and continue
siv months, the birds being kept on
the farms of their owners, occasional
inspections of p»ens and records being
made by the county agents and the
extension poultry specialist.
Instead of giving the contestants
individual choice as to the number of
birds to enter, a uniform number, 25.
has been adopted for each pen. This
change in regulation was made after
securing, by circular letter, the con
census of opinion of the previous con
testants and of the county agents and
Farm Bureau executive committee
members. It is believed that if all
have the same number of birds en
tered. the average results will be
more easily and accurately determin
ed.
In all other respects the regula
tions this year will be the same as
In previous years, only standard bred
birds being entered, the open front
Orono type of house used ^pnd the
Orono laying rations fed.
A chief object of the contest is to
show by proper selection, housing,
care and feeding that winter egg-pro
duction is profitable. It is expected
that the interest taken throughout
the state in the close contest of a
year ago will lead to a much larger
number of entries this fall. Oct. 15 !
is the closing date for entries. Entry
blanks, rules and instructions will be i
mailed on application to the College
of Agriculture. Orono.

Much as this nation owes to the

reason for not paying the claim of
S5.000 or so. He has but to show
that he declines to pay this account
lor a good and sufficient business
reason and by advice of legal coun
sel.
i A man in a fool in business to pay
a person who owes him a counter
:ucount. Mr. I’arkhurst says that he
has a claim Against one of the parties
for leather not up to the standard:
! to the other he has sent trade-ac
' ceptances. As an officer of the com
pany. he would hardly pay in full
when he put a claim in offset.
Mr. I’arkhurst therefore is in a
position of absolute right. Congress
man Peters, his attorney in the ease,
says that Col. O’Brien of the Depart
ment of Justice was called in on the
day of their visit to the War Depart
ment. Mr. Parkhurst made a full
statement ol his side of the case. Col. i
O’Brien according to the understand- !
ing of Mr. Peters and .Mr. Parkhurst
substantiated Mr. Parkhurst’s con
tentions and so rendered his opinion.!
It has since been rejected, it is said. '
On what grounds it is not known.'
Mr. I’arkhurst followed the advice of
, his attorney in declining to pay the,
! Allen and Son's claim. He is still
I following it.
This is the ’’terrible thing” that ;
the democrats are shouting from the*
rostrum. If Mr. Parkhurst as a
business man and a governor, should
pay State of Maine bills which were in
fair dispute, without enforcing the 1
claims of Maine, he would deserve to
be removed. And this is what the,1
democrats are making into a cam- i
paign.
The democrats of Maine deserve to
he castigated for their scurrilous use
of this transaction in politics. i
