The statement on the increase Of
Names valuation, given out BY Hon.
George Pottle of the board Of state as
SCISSORS on Wednesday, is one of the
most encouraging signs of the times
that has been made public for a long
while To have made a gain in solid
valuation Of ten millions of dollars
during the past year is an evidence OF
prosperity such as the state has never
before seen in all its histOry-in the
same pariod--and such as few eastern
states have ever witnessed.
If we attempt to analyZe the figures
of this statement for the purpose OF as
ceftaning' the sources of increaSRsf In
the state valuation, it is not eaS& 70
say which branches Of business jyps
resent the greater increase and upon
which the larger amounts are based.
In general it may be said the increase
extends all over the state, has been
made in cities and farming commune
ties alike and is based upon the en-
largcment and development of many
Industries.
A few words in Mr.. Politics. state
ment, however, may be said to be Il
real key to the whole position. These
words may have been overlooked by
the hasty reader; they may lave been
lost sight of in studying the figures
given, or if read may have been for
gotten. but they are there and their
Importance and significance should not.
be forgotten: Our resources are 50
varied and our advantages 50 great
says Mr. Pottle. Hold!-
They sum up the mafnscause of that
increase of ten millions. They show
the inter relations and the inter-dc
pendence as well. Of the industries, the
resources and the advantages of the
state. The increase of manufactures
helps the development Of our agricul-
ture. The Improvement Of our water
powers cause the erection of new
buildings and creates new property for
taxation. Our manufacturing plants
are rapidly extending all over the
state. Our summer resorts contribute
to the prosperity of our railroads as
well as that of dozen other industries.
Our quarries of granite, lime and
slate are sources Of prosperity. And If
there is only a small increase in the
valuation of our farm stock. agricul-
ture in general is prosperous and thus
leads to increased valuation in better
buildings and the domestic improve
ments which attend prosperity among
the farming communities.
Now the thing to do in carrying out
an improvement as the preacher would
say-upo1t this subjects for the
people Of Maine to increase their faith
i'm the state and it's resources; to be-
lieve, and to act and live as though
they believed Maine was. as it is. the
best state in the union for good homes,
for good health for good citizenship.
Then we should do well and in conse-
| quence, in the language of Mr.. Pottle.
/ .ample capital will be- forthcoming to
promote and carry on our business
| enterprises of every kind

An Ohio Political Battle.

This is very much of an off year in
politics throughout the country, but
there is one election to be held out in
Ohio which is of such spectacular
nature that although it is only a
municipal affair it is attracting the
attention of the whole country. A few
state elections are to be held but none
of them will arouse so much interest
as the rival campaigns of Congress-
man Burton and Tom L. Johnson for
MAJOR of the city of Cleveland Mr..
Burton is recognized as one of the big
gest men in Congress and has for
many years been leader in that body
tional ability and unquestioned in
tcgrity. Twice before Johnson and
Burton have met in campaigns and in
both instances Burton has been the
victor. These were both congressional
campaigns, however.
This contest for the mayoraIty of
Cleveland has some peculiar features.
Although it is a Republican city by
big margin in state and national cam
paigrs, Tom Johnson, the kentucky
born Democrat who has shown him.
self something of a demagogue. has
twice succeeded in being elected
mayor. Cleveland. however. is show
ing itself wearied of his style of doing
have not been and never will be full
filled. and the opponents of Johnson
have selected Congressman Burton as
the man most likely to beat him. 1t
will NOT be strictly Il partisan contest.
Johnson has always had lot Of Re-
publican following in municipal mat
tcrS and is counted on to keep at least
part of it. while many Democrats who
are Disguised with the machines John
sen has built up are counted upon to
desert him and rally around the Bur-
ton standard
The traction question is a big figure
in the campaign. Cleveland has
had some practical demonstration that
the three cent fair. the Johnson hobby,
is not economically possible. and has
suffered Inconvenience from the aban-
donment of two Of its car lines be-
cause the Johnson administration
would not permit the companies to
charge more for its service. For the
first time Johnsun's undoubted popu-
laritv will be discounted by the effect
Of his policies IN operation. Con-
gresham Burton has been clean in all
his political relations. has a record
without a stain, and cannot be
charged with being in any way a tool
of great corporations. He measures
well ur to the standard of a statesman
and if Cleveland does not prefer him to
Tom L. johnson the country will be
very much surprised. The contest is
sure to he an exciting one and will be
followed with great and general inter-
