An Iowa representative tells story
of the campaign which resulted in the
election of. Leslie Shaw to the gov
ernorship of the state. Mr.. Shaw lost
his own county, altho he was elected
by large majority.
In Mr.. Shaw's town there was an
Irish shoemaker named Mulligan.4
The morning after election Mr.. Shaw
had occasion to visit Mulligan's shop.
81 congratulate ye, Governor" said
Mulligan, as Mr.. Shaw entered.
"Well," said Shaw, "rm glad to be
elected, but, Mulligan, Pm sorry to
have lost my home county"
Mulligan vouchsafed no reply, but
hammered vigorously at the work In
hand. The governor, noting this
strange silence, added:
"You see, Mulligan, it's hard thing
to have your own home 60 against you."
Still was Muligan silent, circum-
stance that enlisted Mr.. Shaw's intense
interest. "What would you say Multi
gan, when man loses the county in
which he lives I"
A democratic gleam came into the
eye Of Mulligan. "Pnat wud Oi say,
Governor ALL Oi could say is that
it's q bad thing you didn't live in livery

The Shadow Of Failure.

The terror of failure and the fear Of
coming to want keep multitudes of
people from obtaining the very things
they desire, by sapping their vitality,
by incapacitating them thru worry and
anxiety, for the effective, creative work
necessary to give them success.
Wherever we 60, this fear-ghOst, this
terror.specter stands between men and
their goal; no person is in a position to
do good work while haunted by it..
There can be no great courage where
there is no confidence or assurance,
and half the battle is in the conviction
that we can do what we undertake.
The mind always full of doubts
fears, forebodings, is not in a condi-
tion to do effective creative work, but
is perpetually handicapped by this un-
fortunate attitude.
Nothing will so completely paralyze
the creative power of the mind and
body as dark, gloomy, discouraged
mental attitude. No great creative
work can be done by man who is
not an optimist.
The human mind cannot accom-
plish great work unless the banner OF
hope goes in advance. A man will fol-
low this banner when money, friends

County Commissioner

One of the very important officers to
be elected this fall is County Commits
sioner for this district. 1t is an Office
that is more Of honor than Of profit To
the man holding it. 1t demands a
man of intelligence, Of experience,
and sound business judgment and the
strictest integrity.
Such man we find In the person of
Dave Houston, who was urged, on ac-
count of his fitness for the place, by
the business men of Chanute and the
best farmers Of the community, and,
10 fact, by representative men of all
CLASSES, to allow his name to be used
for the place.
1t was supposed that when a man
of his capa bilities consented to accept
the place that there would be no op-
position.
However, Dave did not prove salts
factory to the Erie ring and Its bench
men in this locality. Dave Is not
their kind of man. he is strictly
honest and not afraid to say no when
occasion requires. And can not be
used ia any doubtful transaction,
political or otherwise. So the little
gang of would te bosses of Chanute,
subseryient tools OF the EIie ring,
brought out one Of their kind for the
nIace. and are using avery eDdeaVOr
to.have him nominated.
The Erie gang is not satisfied with
its own Commissioner 1T wants to
name the one in this District.
II the Republicans want Commits
sioner for the Third district that they
can rely on at all times, they should
get to the polls on the 4th and vote
for Dave Houston.

1t Was Ever Thus.

The little man commits a crime
and the law grasps him and squeezes
the very last jot of the penalty out
of him.
The big man or corporation goes
wrong and some loop hole is found
by which to escape the penalty.
The Standard Oil Company was
faed SAG, 900, 900 by Judge Lands
of Chicago. That was a sumner
but this great corporation never
WINGED under the burden. 1t sim
ply found higher court that ruled
the fine out of order. 1t takes a
little heroic treatment to bring this
great corporation to its senses and
make il respect the rights of others.
AS yet no adequate means have
been discovered.
But the time is fast coming when
it will be brought down and humbled. &.
Education of the public con-
science is progressing rapidly and
soon even supreme judge will be-
gin to see things. All We need is
patience, perseverance and persist
ency, all will be we'll in the end.

Bad Fire,

Last Sunday night, about ten O'Clock
just as Theodore Schmutz and family
farmers, living three miles north OF
the city, were retiring, they discov-
cred that the whole upper story OF
their house was blazs. About all
they could do was to get the childrC q
out in safety.
The house and practically all its
contents we're consumed.
They lost all their clOthlng, furn =
ture. beddin stoves, cooking utensils
and general household goods.
There was an insurance OF $500 on
the house and $500 on the household
goods. This Will help out but is
small compensation for the loss.

STUBBS

As the time for the primary ap-
proaches it becomes more and more
apparent that the people were in
earnest couple or three years ago
when they began to complain of the
corrupt practices of the party ring
of this state, and demand its dis
ruption.
II has become apparent to party
managers at last that the feeling for
reform in our political methods is
deep rooted in the minds of the
people and will not longer down.
They have become weary of the
doses fixed up for them from time
to time by the bosses and are now
in open rebellion. Stubbs, the ac-
knowledged leader of the move is
gaining ground every day, and Is
sure to be the nominee for Gov
ernor. He is the recognized leader
of the move for better government
and purer politics and for the Re-
publlcans of Kansas to turn him
down would be a backward step for
the old party; a step that would
condemn it in the minds Of thous-
ands of Kansas voters.
Stubs stands for purity, right
eousness and law in politics as well
as religion and there are tens of
thousands of Republican votes in
the state who believe in these things
and it seems to be their inning.
We firmly believe that large
maj ajority of the Republican voters
of Kansas are of the better thinking
class of men and that the time has
fully come when the party in the
state will take advance and higher
grounds in its political views and
will not nominate a candidate for
Governor of the class of Mr.. Leland.
Stubbs is opposed to machines
and machine methods. He wants
the people to rule and asks them to
come out to the polls and express
their preferences.
He has great faith in the cool
heads and right hearts of Kansas
Republicans and believes they are
in earnest in their demands for
political reform.
A stay at home vote is against
Stubbs and his higher ideas of pol.
itics. The Quaker statesman be-
lieves in Kansas men and believes
that when they are free to express
themselves at the polls, untrammeled
by party caucuses, they will vote to
sustain the reform measures he has
so earnestly advocated.

THE WAY THEY DO 1T.

A little bunch of Erie politicians
assisted by their henchmen in vari-
Gus parts of the county are now
working overtime trying to control
the Republican vote of Neosho
county, to nominate E. X. Pownall
for clerk of the district court in
place of G.. w. Brickler the indie
pendent man for this place. This is
done to win their point of naming
the ticket for Neosho county.
Early in the spring they fixed up
the entire ticket, filling each place
with their favorite, and have stood
firmly by that ticket, using every
effort to discourage anyone else from
coming into the race for any of the
county Offices, thus attempting to
fix i. so there would be but one
candidate for each Office, hoping
thus to maintain their prestige and
defeat the will of the people in the
primary as they had succeeded in
doing for years under the old dele
gate system.
If they had succeeded in complete
control the people would have had
no choice at all and there would
have been no use of primary cleo
ton. As the choice of the ticket
would have already been made by a
few of the Erie fxers, just as they
have been doing heretofore under
the convention system.
We believe any Republican who
is capable and eligable to fill a
county Office, no difference from
what part of the county he may
chance to come, should have per
feet right to enter the race and ask
for the vote of the people unhamp
cred and abide by theif decision.
And we don't believe it right or
proper for self appointed party
leaders TO say who shall or who
shall not be candidates and take
from the people the choice,
If this little bunch of fixers at
Erie succeed in defeating the only
two independent candidates who
have had the nerve to enter the
race in opposition to them, it will
strengthen their machinery and dis.
courage others from coming out in
opposition to it In the future.
Let every voter turn out next
Tuesday, August 4lh, and vote his
own choice independent of any
instructions, just as true Americans
should do, and then the Republican
party of this county will have a
ticket chosen by the voters from
the very best men and no one will
have any excuse for not supporting
it from top to bottom.

Congressman c. F. Scott hs

Congressman c. F. Scott has
come out in a vigorous editorial in
his paper endorsing Stubbs and
urging the voters of his district to
get to the polls and support the
Quaker statesman, in his efforts to
cleanse and purify the political
atmosphere of Kansas.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1908-07-31

A vote for Stubbs for governor is
a vote for all that is better and
cleaner IN politics. A vote for Le-
land is a vote for all we detest in
machine politics.

cHEsEAeUE COMPLAINS OF SER.
VICE.

A continuous and gradually increas-
Ing complaint is being heard among
the 1000 or so people who spend July
and August within five minutes walk
Of Hamilton's landing, Chebeague,
against the action of the Casco Bay C
Harpswell lines in passing by this
landing and depriving them of the
two trips day which have been the
schedule Of previous seasons. The
matter seems to resolve itself into a
feeling on the part of Chebeague peo-
pie that the company is acting against
their interests and injuring the island.
While we do not believe this to be true
as far as the company is concerned,
we do believe the interests Of Che
beague are seriously injured by the
removal Of the Maquoit from this land
ing. The freight is now landed at the
eastern landing, where on account of
the distance 1t often lies undelivered,
butter, meats. ETC., deteriorating in
the sun. At Hamilton's, the short dis
lance made 1t possible to get ship
ments on the wharf at once. To go
into the matter from the standpoint
believe that not being permitted to
use the steamer as formerly TO 90 to
the inner bay islands, they are disap-
pointed In not being able to make
these trips and have to give them I'D
or use motor boats. The landing at
Sunset Beach, three or four miles
away, Is Of no value to these people
at all on the east end. Further inves-
ugatfon into the matter shows that
while summer people as well as resi-
dents may not wish to arise at an
early hour in order to take the 6.1O
boat from the eastern landing, they
may well find cause for complaint at
seeing the steamer Maquoit pass
within one minute Of Hamilton's land
ing at o'clock. while they are Obliged
to wait until 9.15 for the next boat.
1t is true the 6.10 boat may be an ac-
commodation to a few, but the 100
Is even more important, and IL II can
be, with so little trouble, restored II
would seem that this should be done.
The running time Of the Maquoit might
be changed, relieving her OF possibly
a landing near Portland, where much
more frequent service is given by 9TH
er boats, and she would still be able
TO make her two round trips from
Harpswell Center to Portland. In be.
half OF Chebeague we will say that
the island is an all the year round
source OF revenue for the steamers.
paying them money winter and sum-
mer. and the peoples complaint de-
serves careful consideration on the
part Of the company.

The agitation for street lights at
South Harpswell and Orr's Island at
the town meeting last March petered
out without even any discussion, and
the article in the warrant was killed.
The trouble seemed to be that the
plan was not far reaching enough and
offered no plan Of lights. nor sugges-
tions as to the kind. The only proper
street lamp for the islands where
there Is no gas or electric plant is
the gasolene burning mantle lamp, set
on good iron posts and enclosed In
clean glass top such as are used In
many towns now. They are bright.
clean and ornamental, while q COM
mon oil lamp is obsolete and almost
useless. We believe when Harpswell
votes for lights the business interests
OF the Neck and Islands will take up
the matter and see that the right kind,
or none. are installed. It was a mis-
take to leave Bailey island out of the
reckoning in this article as the need
is as strong there as at any other
place.

The accident which delayed the
steamer Sebascodegan OF Jaquish
Island last week Thursday was not
due to the captains carelessness, but
to the fog which may be blamed for
most such occurrences. The steamer
was running by the lodges or the
western point Of Bailey Island when
she struck. but no damage was done
as her shoe ran up on the smooth
rock and she lay there until the tide
foated her OF. The captains of island
boats have an accurate system of fol-
