1t vas sixty-two years ago that the cleo
ton occurred in Maine which gave rise to
a political song which told how Maine
went for Governor Kent. Edward Kent was
mayor Of Bangor from 1886 till 1888 and
his election as governor in the latter year
was the first indication of the coming de-
feat Of the democratic party throughout
the country in 1910. Maine has pointed the
way to victory a good many times since

No second riddle for johnson.
Cleveland Leader.

Some of the western newspapers assume
to believe that Johnson lie lauding Bryan
with the view Of getting on the ticket in
second place with the Nebraskan two years
hence. That is a mistake. johnson does
not help other people with the purpose Of
playing second fiddle" to them. He is
after first place on the presidential ticket
of mis- party and nothing less than that.

1t is most always the unexpected that
happens. Farmers have been dreading
early frosts this year because Of the I'M
usual GOODNESS of the summer. but destruc-
tive frosts have held OF until It is now
too late for them to do much damage. The
crop year is certain to be one Of almost
unprecedented bounty, taking all crops by

TO SAVE THE SECOND DISTRICT

~ SI @A1 0HSN~NO "a ANAS
The republicans of Omaha desire to
be represented in congress by a repub-
lican. Why should Dave Mercer frus-
trate their desire by thrusting himself
forward for an unearned nomination for
a sixth term, eve II it were within his
power at this time to usurp a renomina-
ton?
The nonresident has made his election
impossible by separating himself In
service and sympathy, as well as in
domicile, from the people whose COM
mission he has too long borne. He has
alienated the masses of the party by
obvious and incOrrigible s~ubserviency to
the corporation agents and railway lob
byists which infest the national capital,
and it was only natural that he should
transfer his residence to the ~congenial
atmosphere of the District Of Columbia.
The voters of Omaha will not tolerate
him. All candid observers know that
his election is an impOssibility. A
loyal republican would, under the cir
cumstances, take himself out Of the way
Of the party, or, rather, would not have
dreamed of getting in the way.
1t is, Of course, useless to appeal to
Dave MERGERS loyalty, for that does not
exist, but why should not republicans
who are loyal to their own interest and
the party properly attend to the case OF
the nonresident, whom the democrats
want nominated because they know they
can beat him?

Another of the unwelcome sequences Of
the late war IN Sout Africa is manifesting
itself in the cost Of living in the Trans
vaal. The price Of rents, labor, domestic
supplies and everything else conducive
to human comfort there has been advanced
SO that a man of moderate means or in
come has difficulty in making both ends
meet. White labor is suffering and Kafir
labor, on which the mines were formerly
largely dependent, lie unobtalnable at the
old rates OF wages. The employment OF
Kaf1rs as teamsters and camp followers
by the British army commissary was only
secured by giving the blacks higher wages
than they had received in the mines before
the war. Now that peace has been estab-
lished these natives Will not return to their
old employment in the mines unless they
are paid as high wages as they were re-
ceiving in army service. The situation,
from the mine owners standpoint, is be-
coming quite serious. Operations In sew
eral mines in the Rand district, which for
merly paid dividends. have been hampered
to such an extent, through the lack Of ma
tive labor. that they are being worked at
a loss. In other cases the mines have
been forced to close through the same cause.
White labor is not %obtainable because the
scale OF wages is not high enough to meet
the increased cost Of living.

 He saw the Shawmut loaded with lumber and other merchandise at Ia coma for the Orient. Among other things it carried was 3,75OOOO feet of lumber
 At the Tacoma Milling Co.'S plant he witnessed the loading of six big ships. The mills cut 225,O00 feet of lumber daily and run it straight from the saws to the ship. The St. Paul Mill company is larger yet, cutting 50O00O to 500, 900 feet of lumber daily beside from 800, GOO to 150000 shingles. They are just com pIeting an electric railroad to run be- tween Tacoma and Seattle. It will be forty-tWo miles long and the trip with special trains win be made in an- hour. Tacoma has about 5OOO0 people and pay rolls amounting monthly to $400.- GOO. The factories employ about 6.400 people and the Northern Pacific about SG0 men.

 One thing he did hear while north that displeased him was the frequent mention of a. article written by some Seattle man who had been here with his wife for the benefit of her health. He gave the climate great praise. but spoiled it all by tarantula stories that scared everybody who read them.
 Mir Heyman heard little about state hood, but what he did hear was good. He saw Judge Frazier and other former Phoenicians. all of whom seem to be prospering. On the way home he en- gagged in conversation with one gentle man whom he thought spoke with au- thority and who told him that dirt would be flying on the Phoenix and Eastern within two weeks.
