The peposinq of 1aqqart.

One thing has been in strong evil
dence of late in Democratic politics.
viz. the passing of the Hon. Tom Tag
CART OF Indiana. who few weeks ago
was elected chairman of the Democratic
national committee. This event was ac-
ccrrpanied with a loId blare OF trump
cts. and the Hon. Tom was every
where proclaimed as the ideal man ior
the pIacc-the organizer pitr-eX' eiieiicf
o: the National d. mocritcy. No" II ~
cnnceded that this political ph"nome-
,on il practically shelved. He still IS
,i,,Iar chairman of the Democratic
National committee, but the real Pc"
org OF the position are exercised by
Senator a =. German of Maryland. 1t
&c evident that MI. Taggert very
clearly appreciates this fact. ASK
C;orn,4n''-he replied when recently
.s,l..l whether or not he WAS to remain
III thc Ncst and surrender the manage
mont of The. Democratic campaign III
the t,ast For this il will be seen that
Mr.. Taggart occupies decidedly
aro,ralous position. While Senator
German is willing to pos as a political
Iit.int, he has no desire to become Il
rnliticaI martyr. 1t is, therefore. no
dnubt. a matter of some satisfaction
for him to come into command of the
Democratic forces under existing con-
ditions. If he should win he would
cheerfuly and complacently appro-
pirate all the credit for the victory If
he should lose Mr.. Taggart would pro-
vide very convenient scapegoat upon
whom to throw the burden of defeat.
1t is evident from Germans selection
as the real COMMUNICATIVE chief of the
Democratic forces. that the National
Democracy has decided to put in its
principal work in the big cities of the
country. The elections in Maine and
Vermont have pretty thoroughly en-
phasized the fact that the Republican
party is stronger today in the agricul-
tural sections of the country than it
was four years ago.
Arthur Pue German is generally
credited with securing the electoral
vote Of New York state for Mr.. Cleve-
land, when he first ran for the Presi-
d@ncy by methods which would scarce

never been satisfactorily explained

the Rancor Commercial, that the peo-
ple of glorious Aroostook were only
half civilized, living much like Hotten-
tots. "hospitable and honest" but
afraid of automobiles as something
they could not understand. We doubt
if there is l2-year-old SchOolboy in
all northern Maine, living on roads
over which Mr.. Johnson would travel
with his automobile, but would know
Just what it WAS and would know bet

The story of an almost miraculous
cure comes from Saco. This cure was
not accomplished by any of the meth
DDS usually reported in such cases. The
woman in question broke her ankle
badly by a fall. and was under the
treatment of physician for a long pc
riod. Making no Improvement she
finally went to Portland hospital. but
received no benefit. Other doctors
were later called in, but they could not
help her. and the woman had almost
become recOnciled to the thought that
she would never again be able to move
about without crutches. One day. re-
Gently, she was lying on the couch
when she experienced a strange sensa-
ton. 1t was as she describes it like
wave of something passing over her."
Her first thought WAS that she had had
a shock and she swung herself from the
couch to her feet forgetting her lame-
ness and her crutches to learn if she
had been rendered HELPLESS. To har
surprise she found that the lame foot
dld not trouble her, but this added ia
rer agitation and as she was alone in
the house she FASTENED across the road
10 neighbor with no more troubla
from the lame ankle than as though
she had never hurt it, The neighbor
was much startled to see her running
across the road with no clutches but
me cure proved permanent and since
then she has had no trouble whatever
with the limb that she believed as the
doctors had told her was nrob,h1,.
crippled for life.

Sure of their prey, and perhaps un-
willing to fight unnecessarily in the
harbor, the Japanese did not grumble,
but resumed their station in the road
