DAYS of the old time campaigns,
when there were lively times from
the stat To the finish. 1t is so
different now that sometimes one
hardly knows an election day is at
hand, aud really too little interest
is taken in the az eIagc contest.
The writer makes the following
observations:
In 1910 occurred the most noted
and exciting campo gn between
Gen. William Ii Harrison of
Ohio and Martin Van Buren, Of
New York. aud never before or
since has it had its equal. That
was a period of good feeling, init
macy and of friendship between
the people and parties. They met
by hundreds to hear joint discus
sions at meetings and at barhe-
cues, and participated in pole rails
iLgs at each village aud cross
roads. The colored people caught
tue lever and sided with their
owners. On election day it was
usual To see Democrat and Wing,
arm in arm, ticket III hand, vote
side 10y side and then take a drink
together, with 10 thought that,
u years after. they W, uld be crap
ping III a death struggle.
In Frederick county the cam
paign was kept up with great
split and activity 10y both par
ties. From Sep'em Der until the
day of election no day passed, ex
cept Sundays, that IA meeting or
a barbecue WAS not held in some
district of the county. Log cabins,
hard cider, coon skins, glee clubs
and songs were the order of the
day-a device said to have origi-
mated in Ohio. Many of the log
cabins were used for chen houses"
and lasted for years.
Following is a " hig campaign
song of 1910:
Come all, Log Cabin boys, come to the
raising;
Marin Van Buren, is getting very bra
zen.
He wants to take the tariff down a
point or Two;
Tue Log CABIN DO, IS s'y that will never
do.
Chorus
Old TIP is tn man;
BE Al hi.i. if you can.
He's al the way fir III Ohio;
From old Virginia, never tire.
The Yank' States, the York State and
all others,
Will ONE together, like 50 many broth
Sly little Van will begin to tremble
When all the Log Cabin boys assemble.
Chorus
The Western States are all on fire.
A bail is Hing all the way from Ohio
Wen keep it rolling from the ocean to
the river.
Little Van will begin 10 culver.
Chorus.
He will shake in his shoes
When he hears the news
That old Tip has been elected,
just AS tie people ali expected.
Chorus
Van Buren, would not do;
they wauted some one new.
They chose old Tippecanoe of Ohio,
BON in old Virginia, never Tire.

tain electric railway lines in these
directions IS bringing splendid To-
cations for suburban homes within
the reach of the breadwinners OF

There is something after all in the contention of ex-Chief Engineer Wal lace that it was the government sys- tenn that forced his resignation, says our Washington correspondent. It may or may not be true that the canal stands better chance of being dug by private contract than it does under the direct control of the Panama canal commission. Government ways are not contractors ways, and 1t is quite possible that the work on the canal could be more speedily done, as most other great engineering works are done, by letting out the actual digging and trusting to the contractor to put the job through on a basis that would reflect credit on himself. The govern. ment ways Of supervising work and admitting accounts are not contractors ways. It has been often said, and with much show of reason, that the govern ment spends a dollar 10 keep track of a dollar spent. Government bookkeep- ing and government auditing are both decidedly different from that an en- ginee- on a private contract is used 10. It may be better and it may he safer 60 far as the actual expenditure is con cerned, but there is serious doubt whether it sccomplishes things as quickly. The Panama canal has been under serious consideration for six years and under supposed construction for almost two. But real work has scarcely beer touched. The public is getting very tired of the eternal pre- paration for work that is never done. and 1t would be a relief to see the work turned over to a private company that would dig the canal instead Of making reports oa the sanitary condition of the isthnus.

The death in committee of the Payne Philippine tariff bill can be borne by the country with considerable equa- nimity for two reasons, says one writer. It was an apparent without being an actual step in the direction of free trade. The advocates of the measure. the secretary of war and the officials of the insular bureau and the Philippine government claimed that it would not hurt either the rice, tobacco or sugar industries in the United States. If it was not going to affect, the export of these crops, all of them, by the way, southern crops, enough to hurt these industries at home, it was not likely to do the Filipinos much good. If it was going to build up the islands materially, then it was going to do so at the expense of the United States. So either the bill was obvious ly not worth passing or else it was good one to kill But the larger inter- est in the fight lay in the shadow it casts on the progress of the statehood bill. This is and always has been party measure of the most partisan kind. It means, if it passes, not only linking Arizona and New Mexico ill distasteful union, but it means substi- tuting four democratic senators for eight in the probable line up of the southwest. It was intirnated some time ago, intimated too plainly for mistake that the fate of the tariff bill and the statehood bill was one. Since the combination in the senate has been strong enough to kill the first measure, it may be strong and reciprocal enough to kill the other. Such an outcome could be viewed by almost anyone with a degree of resignation approaching jollity.

TRAVELLED IN A TRANCE.
American Loses Consciousness in Cal ifornia and Regains It in

A; curious case of lapse of memory has just been revealed here on the ar rival from the northern districts of New South Wales of an Americap, whose last remembrance was of Los Angeles, Cal The Americans story, says a Sydney correspondent of the London Mail, is .ouched for by two Sydney doctors, who have investi- gated the circumstances. The mys- terious traveller. whose name am requested to withhold, left Parahoe, in California a few days before last Easter, intending to join his wife and family at Los Angeles. He remem- bers arriving there, but has no recol- lection of what happened afterward.
 He awoke to find himself lying un- der a tree in the Australian bush, and was immensely astonished at seeing around him many unknown forms of vegetation. He noticed that his hands were hard and rough, though he had never consciously done days hard work. A bullock-driver passed him shortly after his awakening, and he at once inquired the way to Los An geles. The man stared in astonish- ment, and answered that Hill End was the name. of the nearest town ship.
 The man without memory there rpon asked the date, and was told that it was late in October. and that he was in New South Wales. He worked his way 10 Sydney, a distance of some hundreds of miles, and is now trying to obtain employment here to get the money to return to his fam fly.
