Kansas City, Mo-, with population
of 163, 900. according to the last census,
has averaged one murder a week dur
ing the mast wear. At this rate, the
State Of Maine, with population four
and one-half times that of Kansas
City, would have had l34 murders dur
ing the present year instead of a dozen
OF so. This comparison is respectfully
submitted to those Maine editors who
appear convinced that Maine is the
worst place on earth to live in and
that our present Carnival of crime is
something without precedent or equa
in the history of civliza ton.

The Election Results.

Almost everybody VINO READ the elec-
ton returns in yesterdays paper had
chance to say, II told you So" Tam
many triumplled in New York city, but
it's triumph was of very incOnSplete
character, and one which can give lit
CIellan gets in by a very narrow mar
gin. The election of Jerome as dis
trict attorney was the best thing that
happened in New York city and was a
victory for law, decency and pubic
honesty. The enormous vote received
by Hearst was, of course. an expression
for the idea Of municipal ownership
rather than any tribute to the man
himself. On the other hand. the vote
for Mcclellan was largely due TO the
personal popularity of the man ana
belief that he is better than his crowd.
.pd doubtless thousands and thousands
voted for him, including many Re-
nublicans. who are personally intensely
hostile to the Tammany organization
which nominated him and gave him the
bulk of his support.
In Massachusetts, the Republicans
won q sweeping and splendid victory
for the whole ticket. Everybody ex-
pected the election of Curtis Guild, Jr..
as governor, but the main fight was
but here Mr.. Draper pulled through
with a substantial majority, though
less than that received by the head of
the ticket. The legislature, of course
is overwhelmingly Republican in both
branches. The Republicans swept
Rhode Island. as was generally expect
ed, although the Democratic candidate
for governor, Garvin, had once been
elected to that high Office, and it was
felt that the Republican victory, last
year, was rather due to the strength OF
the national ticket than to local con-
ditions. This year, however. Governor
Utter is reelected by plurality of
over 5000, as against d plurality of 1000
received a year ago, showing both the
popularity of the present executive
and the strength and harmony of the
Republican party in Little Rhody."
The election of a Democratic COVER
nor i'm Ohio after the state was carried
hyy ma
ity of 10000, seems at first surprising,
but it is not at all unexpected to those
VINO have followed the campaign and
who understand the curious mix-up of
local issues which decided the contest.
Ohio is as firmly Republican state as
ever on national issues and AS ready to
give as large a majority as it gave
Roosevelt d year ago.
The expected happened in Virginia,
although the Republicans polled an ex-
ceptionaIly large vote and made sub
startial gains in the legislature. A
feature of the election which is a cause
for general congratulation and rejoic-
ing is the sweeping victory of the re-
form Republicans in the municipal
election in Philadelphia. Elsewhere
throughout the country where minor
state officers or members of the legis-
latures were elected. in Nebraska, Con-
necticut, Indiana, Illinois and New Jer-
sey, the Republican candidates were
generally successful by All over
whelming majority.
I'm general, the off year elections of
Tuesday. SO far as they Indicate any
thing at all, or are one of general in
terest. may be regarded as wholly sat
isfactory to the Republicans and as
giving little comfort to the disconsolate
and discredited Democracy.

For the past year Prof. A. N. Leon
ard of Bates College and Prof. r. J.
