REPUBLICANS WIN IN MAINE

Cobb H,0S5 and Cyrus w. Davis, Of Wa
terville, democrat, 1912.
This probable plurality is about S,Seq
smaller than that by which the repub.
1ican ticket was successful in Maine
four years ago. The democratic lsaa-
ers, who, previous to the election, des
clared that any reduction from the
plurality Of 1900 would be q democratic
gain, are therefore claiming that the
vote indicates an increase in party
strength in the state. On the othss
hand, the republican leaders had d,
clared that they expected only from
$4,000 to 10000 plurality. All tho pass,
ent congressman, who are republicans
were reelected by ~pluralities rangnQ
from 5000 to 5000. They are Amos L,
Allen, Charles E. Little1sld, Edwin G,
Burleigh and Lewellyn Powers. Mr.!
Powers defeated his democratic oppon,
ent, William R. Pattingall, Of Machias,,
by $500 votes, a reduction Of his plural,
ity from $500 two years ago.
Incomplete returns indicate that the
democrats will have several state sen,
ators, whereas they now have only one.
and that they will make a slight gain
over their present 20 members Of the
state house of representatives.

Mr.. Jeffrey's eyes fell, and a startling
change passed over him. But before
either Of us could make out just what
this change betokened he recovered his
aspect of fixed melancholy and quietly
remarked:
1T is dreadful to think of her stand

young, passionate heart, but it is worse
to picture her doing this under the
gaze of unsympathizing eyes. I cannot
and will not so picture her. You have
been misled by appearances or what in
police parlance is called a clew."
Evidently he did not mean to admit
the possibility of the pistol having
been fired by any other hand thar her
own. This the coroner noted. Bow
ing with the respect he showed every
man before n jury had decided upon
his guilt, he turned toward the door
out of which l had already hurried.

as he stepped down the stairs.
Mr.. Jeffrey did not answer; he was
having his first struggle with the new
and terrible prospect awaiting him at
the approaching inquest.

Two Cures for Intemperance.

To those who look for results, rather
than the nursing of theories, it is mani
fest that there are two great reforms
that would do more to lessen the evils
of the liquor traffic than million plat
form pronunciamentos. These are,
first. the abolition of the treating
habit, which is carried to such absurd
extremes in this country; and. second
ly, the providing of some attractive sub
stitute for the saloon. Enough has
been said and written against the
Treating" hsbit, and 1t is not necessary
to go into details on the subject, There
is no doubt that it is the leading cause
that carries many young men over the
line of moderation to excess. Some
years ago an effort, half serious and
half jocular, was made an anti-treating
bill through the Colorado Legislature.
This is obviously thing that cannot
we'll be controlled by legislation. But
it would easily be possible to get up a
movement that would make treating
unfashionable-"baG FORM" as our En-
glish cousins would say.
AS to the other suggestion-in regard
to providing some attractive substitute
for the saoon-it is obviously vita
one. Some years ago movement was
started in England, by people who saw
the need of something of this kind
They established coffee houses, where
for reasonable price, non alcoholic re
freshments might be obtained, also
reading matter and games. 1t is an I'M
doubted fact that majority of those
who resort to saloons go there for the
sake of the light, warmth and the com.
partnership rather than for the liquor
In Los. Angeles there was started
several months ago an establishment
of the kind referred to, and it proved
SO successful that second house hai
