CLAUSE A FACTOR

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 10.-The state
election is held in this state today
and judging from reports the vote will
be quite large The election this year
is especially interesting, as the issue
is of a local character and entirely
non-partisan. About fifty years ago
the prohibitionists of this state had a
that prohibited the sale Of liquor in
Maine AS a new generation has arisen
since then and it demands a re-sub-
mission of the prohibition clause in the
constitution. The party alignments
will be completely broken on this
question The new idea in this state
is that prohibition not only fails to
prohibit, but makes the state laugh
ing stock for the whole country. Local
option and high license is the remedy
proposed and the cleavage is between
old timers and the young generation,
irrespective of political partlSanShip.
Governor Cobb. who was nominated
by the republicans, is a prohibition
list and opposed to a change of the
constitution. The democrats are in IA
vor of the change and are confident of
their success. Maine may go demo-
cratic on this issue but that would not
effect its general political status at
the next national election

Men wrote the most Of the verse and
women the most Of the fiction printed
In the midsummer numbers Of the four
leading American magazines. Man
would seem still to have some slight
advantage in the matter of wooing the
muse. Perhaps this is because he Is
melancholy over the impending de-
parture of the literary scepter wholly
to other bards. No magazine is likely
to achieve great pecuniary success un-
less it can make a convincing appeal
to women readers, and it is probabls
that magazines edited chiefly for wo-
men will be written chiefly by women.
