two greatest evils OF our day grows
out Of this evil condition. The en-
ployer who saves $15 on every man
he discharges and woman he en-
ploys, gets rich by that amount
every week. Here is the most fruit
full cause of the widening breach be-
tween capital and labor Those
young men, thus discharged, are
compelled to work for a woman's
wage and cannot marry and support
a wife, and the girl away from
home on inadequate wage, cannot
live. Here you have the cause of the
social evil, as It exists and grows
alarmingly In all our cities.
This abnormal condition OF things
ought to stop, but woman's suffrage
gives IL long push still further In
the wrong direction. l am old fash
ioned enough still to believe that the.
family is the unit OF society; the
safeguard of the nation and church.
That the ideal woman still presides
a queen of the sacred precincts OF
hcr home: inspires by her fine sentt
ments her husband to do his best in
the outward world and brings up her
children TO make her influence felt
far and wide, while she lives and
to inspire them after she is gone.
and that this kind OF women are
not clamoring for the ballot and
making welkln ring with "I want
my sphere" They are not telling
they cannot respect the laws be-
cause they are not respectable" but
they are quietly saying to the men,
Give US good laws and we will
give you good homes" II Is this
class OF women that I propose %

deafness. and that Is by constitution

an inflamed condition OF the mucous
lining OF the Eustaehian Tube. when
this tube Is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear

deafness Is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition. hearing will be destroyed

WHY NOT WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE?

voting promises to thrill with re-
light. Indeed whore women have
been given the ballot they have had
TO be exempted from the duties that
accompany Il. Colorado women are
not required to sit on juries, nor
pay the poll tax, to serve in the nil
litia or respond TO the sheriff's call
to act on posse comltatus nor even
on the police force. Her unfitness
to serve the government in all those
departments shows that government
is not her forte OF course some men
are disqualified. but they are ex-
ceptions. IL would be an exceptional
woman who should be qualified to
quell n riot.
3. Some people base the supposed
right OF women TO vote on the
ground OF the equality OF the sexes.
But what do yom mean by equality?
Women are not similar TO men; they
diner physically. mentally, morally,
spiritually, emotionally and temper
amontally. These differences are as
marked as tho Almighty could well
make them. ana they indicate his
will that they should work togeth-
er; not as competitors, but that each
should be supreme in a different
sphere.
What is this natural division of
labor and responsibility? Why. God
has made man strong and combatlye,
that no might fight tho battles and
conquer nature by Telling trees and
tllling the soil, battle with the Gle
ments and when need Is. fight his
fellow-man. Woman is differently
constituted and fitted for a different
sphere. IL Is hers TO refine and
elevate by the subtler and more quiet
influence OF her finer nature. She
is as much out of place in the corn

man Is patching crazy quilts, making
doll dresses or giving pink teas. Bui
seriously, the problem is whether
voting" Is OF the nature OF mans
work or woman's or of both. Gov
ernment Is force.
When Laws a Mockery.
The ballot that is not backed by
aghtlng force Is no vote at all. A
law with no police force Is a mock
cry. There Is a difference between
an election and a discussion. A de-
bate is a clash Of opinions. an cleo
ton is clash of wills, with an
agreement before hand that the mi

tnat majority win enforce its de-

in the election OF Lincoln. and II

Afraid Of the Light.


Anticipating the publication by tine
Democrats of their campaign fund, Re-
publican managers have sought to re-
cover some lost ground. They print
the names of two contributors, An
drew Carnegie and Mrs. Russell Sage
and they announce that they will make
other contributions public after the
election.
If the Republican managers are will
ing to make Carnegie's contribution
public, why not give the names of
other heavy contributors? The ex-
PLANTATION is that Mr.. Carnegie has
given awayso many libraries out Of the
money which he had obtained through
undue favoritism" at the hands of
the government that the Republican
managers rely upon his popularity"
among the people to prevent the fact
of his contribution doing injury.
But let it be remembered that An
drew Carnegie has good reason to con-
tribute to Republican campaign funds
and we need go no farther than to a
Republican newspaper for proof.
Several years ago it was reported
that Andrew Carnegie had offered to
pay $4,000, 900 for the Philippine Is
lands, provided ne was permitted to
assure the Fiiipinos that they would be
given their independence.
Commenting upon this story, the
! Chicago Tribune said that 1.-THE steel
magnate has tried the patience of his
friends severely in some of his late
bids for notoriety." 1t expressed the
opinion that Mr.. Carnegie is constantly
posing, and said che scattered librar-
les throughout the country, all of which
are to be called for him, and every one
of them is a contribution to the con-
science fund. -
Then the Tribune said: "Mr. Car
negie made his money in a magnificent
way, but ne should never forget that
he made it trough the undue favorit-
ism of the government of the United
States. Owing to the discrimination
practiced in his favor by the tariff, he
was enabled to amass fortune, of
$500, 900, 700 or more, most of which
came out of the pockets of his coun-
trymen through the operation of IN
equal laws. Much has been said OF the
benefit arising to the workingmen
from the establishment of the Carne-
gle works. The benefcent tariff sys-
TEN permitted the works to survive
and flourish, but there are some people
vino have not forgotten the Home
stead strike, nor the outrageous man
ner in which the workingmen were
treated at the time by employers whose
brutality has seldom been exceeded in
the history OF labor agitations
The Repubi can party has. in every
Presidential campaign been financed by
the men to whom they have granted
what the Chicago Tribune calls undue
favoritism. Does anyone imagine
that the tariff barons and trust mag
mates will withhold contributions from
the Republican campaign fund this
year? Does anyone believe that the
Republican party will.ever revise the
tariff in the interest of the consumers
so long as it obtains its campaign
funds from the tariff barons?
Is anyone surprised that the Repub-
lican managers are afraid of the light?

has just entered upon system OF State
road building by which, through State
taxation, large sum of money lie to be
raised on all the property OF the State,
which is to be apportioned relatively
much more to the smslier towns han to
the cities or larger towns.
II note that in my own city OF Water
vile, in 1880, the year that l came here,
our tax-rate was sixteen mills, and that we
raised and expended only $50, 100. II; where
as, in 1906, our tax-rate was twenty three
and one half mills and we raised and APP
propriated s135, 326. 90. We have also largely
increased our bonded debt. But when l
came here in 1880 we had practically no
sidewalks, no paved streets, no street light
ing, 10 water supply, no sewer system,
and but few schools. The past twenty-six
years have brought us increased burdens
OF municipal taxation, but in return we
have practically every modern convenience
and luxury enjoyed by any community in
America. These things cannot be had
without paying for them. What we have
done in Watervilie has been done to de-

The first requirements on the subject of
tax reform are facts and figures and dis
position to give them an honest and fair

can never be done with the demagogic cry
ordinarily invoked by the tax reforner
who is candidate for Office, who seeks to
array one class of citizens or kind of
property against another.
have watched the proceedings Of the
Maine Legislature for quarter of q CEN
tury, and have seen therein different in
terests contending in different ways for
different things in regard to taxation, and
as whole l have seen our public burdens
for State purposes constantly and largely
transferred from the farms and other
tangible property to the money deposited
in savings banks, railroad corporations,
insurance companies and other monied
interests OF the State. Certainly some
other subject will have to be agitated
in Maine to create a greater publicinter-
est than that Of tax reform as applied to
our State expenses and finances.

of 1900 with thapof 1906, find that as
whole there has been decrease upon the
cities, towns and plantations OF the State
of S1s, 500. 03, while the State tax assessed
on wild lands alone in 1905 was S2s, $50 "a
greater than in 1900. We also find that
the total State tax assessed on the farming
towns and plantations in the fifteen coun-
ties outside OF Aroostook was $4,000 less
than in 1900.
the tax assessed by the State assessors
against the various State corporations in
1900 was only S716, 101.71, whereas for the
year 1905 it was 81 ,29s, 717.sO, an increase
Of SoS2 sos. 15-almost twice as much as
required to pay all the legitimate expenses
Of the State after deducting those items
which are not the absolutely necessary
expenditures OF State government. The
politician so often makes an appeal to the
individual against the corporations, that
1 cannot help calling attention to these
figures, which show that the burdens Of
taxation are being constantly increased on
corporate property and reduced on the
individual property Of the State, so far as
the purposes of State taxation go.
1t is undoubtedly true that most of the
cities and towns in their municipal affairs
are increasing the amount of taxes they
are paying, but they gather at their own
town meeting and raise and appropriate
the money for their own town purposes,
and it is matter wholly with themselves
whether they make their taxes more or
less. But il they have modern improve
ments, they will have to pay for them the
same as the cities do, although the State
