Mr.. Taft declared that he favored the unions

There are some good positions open in the
government service for high class men. The
government wants some examiners for the inter
state Commerce Commission, but the civil SER
vice examination has been postponed because of
a lack of egbes. The positions pay from
$500 to $4,000 each annually but it is difficult to
get competent men. They are practically all
taken by those employed by the railroad COM
panies. The government examination of apph-
cants is very exhaustive, requiring knowledge of
general auditing, disbursements, freight and pas
senger claims, a knowledge of the express bust
ness and similar matters. The government thus
furnishes fine opportunity for the countless
number of men who think they know more about
how railroad should be run than President Nc
Crea does, to have their knowledge and ideas put
to the test of an examination

A N IMPORTANT election will be held in
n Maine on September IA, when a COVER
nor, State auditor, and members OF the Legisla-
ture are to be chosen The election VIII not,
however, be much of an indication to show the
trend of thought as to the national election, be-
cause many local questions are involved, the
chief Of which is the prohibition issue.
For some time there has been an agitation IN
favor of resubmitting the question OF prohibition
to the voters of the State, but all efforts to that
end have failed The Democrats have nominated
for governor farmer who is the head OF the
Grange of the State, and the platform OF the
party contains plank favoring the resubmsson
of the liquor question.
The Republicans are standing pat" on this
issue. At the Republican State Convention Mr.
Fernald was nominated for governor over Mr.
Hams The latter favored the resubmission to
vote of the people of the prohibition amendment
TO the constitution. Other State questions, such
as taxation, are involved in the campaign.
The prohibition issue-that is resubmission,-
has been stirring Maine politics for some years
In 1904 the Republican candidate for governor
won by about 10000 majority, and two years ago
the Republicans elected their candidate for gov
ernor by about 5000 majority, a considerable re-
duction of the figures. The question OF resub-
mission was before the voters at both elections.
The Republicans opposed resubmission.
Reports from Maine say that the Democrats
expect to carry the State and that the Republi-
cans are somewhat worried. II seems probable,
however, that the Republicans will win by lair
majority, because they will get the benefit OF the
enthusiasm of the presidential year, which means
an increased vote. Then, again, the Maine cleo
ton, although local issues are involved, will be
taken by many as an indication of what will hap
pen in November. This will stir the Republicans
TO extraordinary efforts
The outcome of the election will be watched
with much interest by those concerned in the
advance of the prohibition movement In every
State where the question comes to issue, Maine,
and what has been done in Maine engages the
attention of the managers of the campaigns. For
this reason we should think that both the license
interests and the prohibitionists would do their
utmost in the coming Maine election.

EARLY WATERMELONS

J. O. Powers, who in conjunction with his brother, owns fine farm in the lower Lehi district, was in Mesa yesterday.
 He stated that he had several acres of watermelon plants already set out, and in a flourishing condition. He eX- poets to have melons ready for the market by June 1.
 Early melon raising is evidently MT. Powers strong fort, as he has succeed ed in getting the first watermelons on the market here for the past two or three years. The main difficulty to be overcome in producing of an early crop, is the susceptibility of the young plants to even the lightest of frosts. This danger is obviated by MT. Powers through the simple but effective meth cd of covering them with newspapers.
 The melons grown by him are raised from select Rocky Ford seed and are equally as rich in flavor as those ma tured two months later in Colorado.

The actors were all old at the busi- ness and knew how to take advantage of every situation tG bring out all the fun. Frederick Rieckoff as Mrs. BOuncer gave performance that it would be hard to improve on, his laughing scene being one of the best amateur performances ever seen in Tempe. The audience roared with { laughter at every move that Mrs. Bouncer made. Bert Minor scored a hit with cockney character makeup and Pat Mahone-, as Mrs. Bouncer's other lodger showed a coolness and de- liberation unusual in performances of this kind In its general finish this was one of the very best parts of the evening.
 But that is not forgetting the sur prisingly clever work of Chatham, Clifford and Blake in the main play It is hard to find any better character parts than these three had in Mr Spriggin's, Major Rattan and the fiery Frenchman and all three did excellent work in their parts. Mir. Spriggins'

face was a study and Clifford's make up and French accent made a great hit The scene with these three and the duel across the table, was applaud ed most enthusiastically and was in fact a very realistic episode with lots of action to it. The parts taken by the young ladies made a very pretty stage picture and were we'll acted. Miss Loreen Cox as Mrs. Spriggins, was as naughty as a Fitz PenIOnville ought to be, and Misses Lillis Beebe and Nath- allie Larson made charming young wO- men. The sulky tempered housemaid as portrayed by Evelyn Jones. was a gem of a part and her sneering laugh was particularly well done. In fact. it was the best small part of the entire performance.
 The music by Miss Ewing Schmidt and Messrs. Kretschner and Ewing was a pleasing variety between the acts. Their dance pieces set many feet going. and they will undoubtedly be in demand for future dances at the Normal. The writer went behind the scenes after the play and can assure the public that nothing was broken. The effect of falling plaster and brok- en doors and windows all being pro- duced by some rather clever devices arranged by one Of the students. The actors were all in high spirits and were particularly pleased at the success of their make-ups, all of which they did themselves under the direction of MT. George. The Student" undoubtedly cleaned up a nice little sum and will probably start an orphans home for worn out actors. "The Student" is one of the best gOtten-uD college pa pers in the west and justly deserves its popularity. Special mention should be made of the settings and properties which were designed by Chas. Swig- gett.

I want to recommend s. s. s. to any who are in need of blood purifier, and especially a remedy for sores and obstinate ulcers. In 1877 I had my leg badly the sharp edge of a barrel, and having a blue woolen stocking, the place was badly poisoned from the dye. A great sore formed and for years one knows what suffered with the place. I tried, it seemed to me- everything l had ever heard of but got relief, and thought would have to go through life with angry, dis charging sore my leg. At last began the Of S.
