Taft, GOmpers, and Tie Voters.

Mr.. Taft had favored certain modiica-
tions in the court practices respecting in
functions, and had been committed TO
very liberal policies regarding employers
liability and other measures demanded
by workingmen. He had, on the other
hand, expressed himself as strongly OPP
posed to secondary boycotts and certain
other practices sometimes used by trade
unions. The country thinks Mr.. Taft
has common sense, and 1t sustsins him
overwhelmingly in his positions. The
attempt of Mr.. Gompers and others to
make it appear that the American public
was sharply divided on labor questions,
and that Bryan and the Democrats stood
for workingmen's rights, while Taft aud
the Republicans were against the work.
ingmen, completely failed to convince
any large number of people, for the plain
reason that no such cleavage in public
opinion actually exists, If the wage
earners and employed classes had been
solidly lined up for Bryan, while the
employers and controllers of capital had
all been supporters of Taft, we should
have had political cleavage along social
lines that would have been regrettable.
Fortunately, nothing of that kind hap
pened. American wage-earners, whether
trade-unionists or not, do not feel them
selves or their welfare bound up with the
fortunes OF any one political party. They
are as free to be Republicans or Demo-
Gratis as they are to be members of one
chnrch or another or of no church at all.

ACCORDING to the Pittsburg Dispatch
the opposition to Frank B. McClsin for
reelection TO the Office of Speaker of the
Pennsylvania House of Representatives
has not been removed. Well, any mem
Der of the House has right to be a can
didate for Speaker. and if he can line up
votes he is it, that's all. 1t must be ad-
mitted that McClain did show some per-
sonal resentment against the Senate on
account of the defeat of a bill in which he
was particularly interested, that did not
add anything to the dignity of the office
OF Speaker. However, he has many
friends among the mem bers of the House,
and should he be defeated for the Speak
ership he can kick up lot of trouble for
his opponents. .-Punxy Spirit. Really,
then, it would be best to elect him and
keep him quiet.

SHALL the women rule? Is the ques-

the men can be reformed or influnced to
do anything the wife wishes ifeach mans
spouse will sit beside him and talk to him
while he sleeps, but so gently as not to
wake him up. This form of suggestion
is said to be efficient in curing anything,
from drunkenness to the flirting habit,
and presumably, will eradicate stinginess

some basis for the theory, and most men

The temporary roll call of the House
of Representatives for the Sixty-first
Congress has been completed and pub
lished. 1t shows that the next House
will consist of 2l9 Republicans and l72
Democrats, total of 39l, as against a
total of 3S9 in the House during the last
session., of whom 229 we're Republicans
and l66 Democrats. The result is a net
loss of four from the Republican side and
net gain of six on the Democratic side,
the discrepancy being due to present
vacancies. All told, the Democrats
gained seventeen districts and the Re-
publicans twelve.

Democratic organizations had refused
him nomination because of his expo

THE Republican party of the nation
will cordially approve the selection OF
Frank II. Hitchcock as postmaster gen.
eral by President-elect Taft. This is the
first cabinent position yet determined
upon, and it is probable that the others
will not be announced until all have been
selected. Judge Taft's thorough kuowl-
edge of men stands him in good stead at
this time, and that his cabinent will be
composed of able, and above all, honest
men, goes without saying.

vote of 5764 at Mondays special cleo
ton in that city. The vote was four
to one for the old site, which means
that the crusade of the Portland

been effective Those who favored
the Lincoln Park site are much dis
appointed for its selection would have
brought about a splendid grouping of
the public buildings, city, county and
federal, of the Forest City. There can
be no doubt that public sentiment is
unfavorable to this. Probably there
was less of sentimental interest for
saving Lincoln Park than there was
of general opposition to the additional
expense which it was expected would
be involved in building the City hall
anywhere except on the old site.

Fewer Abandoned Farms.

Over in New Hampshire as well as
here in Maine much less is being
heard of late about the so-called
abandoned farm problem. The Man
chester Mirror says that the fact is
not sign that all the available farm
property which might come under that
category, in the state has been pur-
chased and placed in process of i'm
provement, though that is probably
true of a very considerable proportion
of it. New Hampshire, once scurril-
ously denominated by irresponsible
magazine and syndicate writer's as a
state of abandoned FARMS" is now
rapidly becoming recognized as state
of homes, in not a few instan-
ces, whose owners bought them as
summer retreats, but which have
proved so attractive as to be occupied
the greater part, if not all, of each
year.
The Mirror claims for New Hamp
shire, the distinction of having led off
in the movement to call the attention
of outsiders to idle lands purchaseable
at reasonable terms and easily sus-
ccptible of conversion into beautiful
home places. AS a very general rule,
this calling of attention has been suf-
ticient in that state as here in Maine;
the scenic beauty of New Hampshres
hills, lakes and streams, the bracing
properties of New Hampshire air, the
hospitabie, appearance of hundreds of
homesteads, and, perhaps, something
in the composition of New Hampshire
people, have usually done the rest.
Other states have not been slow to
discern the results obtainable from
a systematic direction of notice to
idle lands. New York, in particular,
has taken the matter UP to good eff
feet insomuch that it is now reported
from Albany that more that $1,000
900 has been realized by the sale of
pTdEllcdIy dDdHuOHeu IdIHi ldiluS III
that state in the last year, to persons
who are expected to make productive
use of the property. The experience
of New York has been similar to that
of Maine and New Hampshire in that

natives or former residents who re-
turned to make their homes again
