Not an Unmfxed Good.

During the past week over $4,000
women have been assessed SO that la
ter they may register as voters. Much
more than half of them are said to be
Catholics, a fact. we'll calculated to
open the eyes of those who first appeal
ed to the women to rescue the public
schools. These persons may learn
from it that the result of an election is
not necessarily changed by increasing
the number of voters, and that the
change, if perchance any be brought
about, is as likely to be vexatious as
desirable. tt ~ t4sitf

One of the most stalwart of the re-

that the present administration is en-
gagged in dealing out pensions by TIE
thousands for political effect. Now

on the eve of the election. Somehow
these things don't harmonic and the
man up tree wants to know which
should be given the greater signifi-

"Wild Bill" exhibitions are coming

youth of the country. Nothing will
satisfy illtrained youngsters nowadays
but to be "cow- boys"-to hang their
little comrades in play-to shoot and
kill them with pistols they didn't know
were loaded-Or to dig caves and go
into thieving on their own account.

this little dodge was prevented. The
principal who owns tile stock in trade

The bill presented by the commits

lieved to be the result of careful and
conscientious work on the part of the
gentlemen who made up the commits
sion. But the district and town sys-
TENS are both preserved by this bill, it
being optional with the towns to adopt
the town system. 1t is this feature of
the bill that fails to satisfy the many
friends of education who believe that
the town system should be made obi

The Boston Herald has found that John A.
Andrew had hand in making the songs of
the famous campaign Of 1910. This is the
first verse of a song written by him, he being
at that time young lawyer in Boston:
''Shall grateful freemen slight his claims.
Who brayely did defend
Their lives and fortunes at the Thames
The farmer of North Bend?'
OF the famous "Tippecanoe and Tyler too
song the Herald also furnishes this form Of
the famous verse added after the September
election in Maine:
Have you heard from Maine, Maine, Maine,
Good news and truel
She went, hell bent, for GOV. Kent
And Tippecanoe and Tyler tso,p etc.
Thfs-yersion is somewhat different from
the verse recited by Congressman Boutelle
at the Chicago convention, and different
from other versions that have been handed
down. 1t is probable that in all these forms
it may have been sung during the campaign.
1t was the most popular song of the cam
paign, and, coming in during the last day,
was the final blow at the Loco Focos. 1t is
not surprising, therefore. that after nearly
fifty years the verse is remembered in sever
al different forms.

unless he has lamentable short memory,
that only few weeks ago the convention of
his own Prohibition patty, assembled at In
dianapolis declared ''for the immediate
abolition of the internal revenue system,
whereby our national government is deriving
support from our greatest national vice."
Mr. St. John has probably forgotten also
that woman suffrage plank in the Indian

made straddle that would have done credit
to the great Democratic party Before you

Our friends the enemy never tire Of repre-
senting the Republican party as the friend
Of monopoly and corporations. Every Demo-
cratic paper, the Argus included has rung the
changes on this theme. Yet to person who
watched and listened at the Democratic mass
meeting in City Hall on Thursday night it
appeared very much as If the Democracy of
Maine had a goodly share OF corporate
wealth and influence within IFS ranks. The
gentleman who called the meeting to order
was the Hon. Arthur Sewall, president of
tue Maine Central Railroad, the wealthiest
and most influential corporation in the State,
and the gentleman from whose power Of
organization the Hon. John b. Redman
intimated great results would flow this fall
for the Democratic party is superintendent
of that same corporation. We do not claim
that there is anything improper in these
gentlemen taking an active part in politics
in behalf Of the Democratic party or any
other party; we simply cite their activity in
behalf of the Democracy as effectually dis
posing Of the cheap talk of such campaign
orators as the Hon. M. p. Frank about the
Democracy being the party of the people
and the foe Of corporate wealth and infu-
