Portland Transcript: \ prominent
Gamer has suggested, and the sugges-
ton, as explained to GOV. Cleaves, meets
with his hearty approval, that all cans
containing Maine goods should have at
least the name of the State pressed in the
tin. The packers of this State are justiti-
ed in their claim of producing the best of
goods and need fear no competition, in
the open, as to quality. tnscrupulous
dealers in other states not infrPquently
put Maine labels on goods packed else
where and of inferior quality. To remedy
his fully, national legislation may be
r,quircd, but the scheme, above-menton-
ed, if acted upon, would probably afford
Il considerable measure of relief to Maine
concerns who are soicitous for their
well earned reputation.

The returns of the recent school
elections in Connecticut indicate that
women tire of the opportunity to
vote. This year women cast only
1906 votes, as compared with 324l in
1894 and 1906 in 1893. This is not very
encouraging 10 the woman sutlragists.
There may have been more important
and interesting questions at issue last
year and the year before than this year,
and this may have had something to do
with this discrepancy, but there are lots
of women who do not care to vote in
Maine and there probably are in Connec-
ticut also.

Cuba an army of 10000 men. This is a
force greater by 10000 than the whole
British army in India. The entire pop.

times as great, and its proportion to the
number of whites capable of bearing

Lord Salsbury's private secretary has
just returned from secret mission to
Constantinople, and although nothing
has been made known officially as to the
result, it is generally understood that
the gravity of the situation in Turkey

that climax in the fate of the Turks
will not long be delayed. The Moham-
medan reform party aims at the deposit
ton of the Sultan, and many are bitterly
opposed to any reform that will benefit
Christians or that applies only to
Afmenians. On the other hand, the

the Powers only by adhering faithfully

The enforcement, in New York city, of
the law relating to the Sunday closing
of saloons seems to have inspired the
authorities of other large cities with a
desire to do likewise. In indianapolis
the reform began, Sunday of last week
and patrOlmen were instructed to arrest
every saloon keeper who violated the
law. There was no resistance and the
result was remarkably quiet day.
Police Commissioner Lee of St Louis
has sent letters to the ptstors of the
different denominations, asking if they
would uphold him in his efforts to en-
force the Sunday law. Nearly all the
ministers have promised him their zeal
GUS support. The law has been dead

of an important reform movement is
