GONE AGAIN"

Vcrlin Stout WIN, during the pnst
year. has resided on the WrsrfaIi
farm southwest Of Ordway, suddenly
left the community and forgot To lid
his many friends. neighbors aud cred
itnrs goodbye. His farming operations
were quite extensive, and this
necessitated the contracting Of many
debts, and when he left lie also forgot
TO make settlements with his creditors
who now are mourning his departure.
and the officers in their behalf are
administering on his effects. Hi>
property is pretty well covered with
chaitel mortgages, but his general
creditors are trying to make them
selves whole on the "slim equities" in
the chattels left behind. How they
will come out remains to BE- seen.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Teachers Problem.
GeWiStOn Sun.)

A scientist, writing of the problem
Of backward pupils. says that often the
backwardness is caused by some tri-
fling defect, such as deafness. Prob
ably 1t is quite as often due to the
fact that the teacher has not found
the key to the mind of the pupil 1t
is impossible to teach a child much
until you begin to understand him.
and how is a teacher to understand
individuals when she has 50 many
children on her hands that she has
hardly n chance to look ut them sep
arately? How can she be expected to
find and manipulate forty or fifty keys
in the limited time she has? We are
demanding the impossible of too many
of our teachers. Under present condi-
tons some pupils must be neglected
and fall into the "backward' class. or
else the teacher must take from TIL"
reader learners time that rightfully
belongs to them.
The great misfortune is that children
must be taught in masses.

inroads on the Solid South.


Some inroad has been made on the
solid South and the indications are that
at no distant day it will cease to be Il
reliable asset of the Democratic party.
The South was never more prosperous
than it is today and it is largely in
debted for that prosperity to northern
capital and the Republican policy of
protection. The South long since dis
carded it's free trade ideas and is max
ing rapid progress in manufactures
Atlanta. which was comparatively
insignificant town before the war, and
which was burned during Shermans
march to the sea, is now a busy
busting city and great railroad cen
ter. Northern brains and northern
money have wrought this TRANSFORMED
ton. In other sections and cities of
the South it is the same. Northern
capital has built the railroads. the big
business blocks. the grand hotels. and
established the coastwise steamship
lines essential to business develop
men. 1t is the negro question mainly
that keeps the South from voting with
the party of progress and prosperity.
If new party, under a new name.

publican party for the past 20 years

Consolidation Of New England.


No more important public measure
for the SOlidticatiOn OF the business
and industrial interest Of New Eng
land was ever devised. than that
which is to be eliminated in the pub
lie meeting to assemble in Boston, Nov
23-24. Al that meeting all the New
England states will be represented ana
public measures of vital interest to all
sections of this happy and united com
munity will be- thoughtfully consld-
cred
In another column will be found q
partial program of the projected con
ference. The executive and Legislative
authorities of the several New England
states will be represented, together
with the federal government and eX-
perts in the various fields Of develop
ment in which this section is inter
eS:ed
A dozen speakers will be present at
that meeting including Clifford Pinchot
Of the national forest service, and Hon
n J. Bachelor master Of the national
grange, Patrons Of Husbandry. They
viii discuss among other SUBJECTS
questions relating to forest protection;
the propagation Of edible sea fish, ana
public highways. A strong body of
representative men has been named TO
represent Maine at this convention.
which embraces our senators ana
representatives in Congress. with four
delegates at large and two delegates
from each Congressional dlSulct-all
men of prominence and identified with
the best and highest interests of our
state. Other New England states will
have a similar delegation in point of
numbers and character and the entire
convention, made up of such men, VIII
form a distinguished and representa-
tive body of influential merit.
The convention will mark the first
instance, since the United States be-
came a nation. that the governors of
the six New England states will have
met in consultation for the common
interest 1t will mark new depar-
ture for these states along the lines of
harmonious progress in every perma-
nent business interest and measure for
the good Of the people
Lack of such unity of purpose and
harmony of action. says the Boston
Post in referring TO this conference.
mas been our loss With a territory
and q population which are absolutely
homogeneous, there has been disre-
gard of concurrent and sustaining eff
fort in matters concerning the welfare
Of all of the people of all these states.
1t is to remedy this condition that
the conference of New England gov
ernorS is to be held. The conservation
of our forests. the regulation of our
fshe rleS. the promotion OF our manu-
featuring industries. the Improvement
Of our highways are subjects which
present themselves instantly And
with these are affiliated others of per
haps equal import.
1T is not proposed to reVolutionizc
| the legislation of New England as such
| is no part of the object of the meeting
| 1t is to point the way to a greater uni
| forrnity in the adjustment of business
| and industrial concerns to the higher
value OF the people.

The Democrats in Colorado not only
won the electoral vote in that state for
Bryan, but they also succeeded in cap
turing the Legislature by a large mar
gin. This means that the successor to
Senator Teller, formerly a Republican
but for the past dozen years a Demo-
crat, will be a Bryan man. The man
most prominently mentioned as his
successor is Charles j. Hughes, a mil
lionaire lawyer who figures as the
largest single contributor to the Demo-
cratic national campaign fund and
whom Judge Lindsey of Denver. ia
nous on account of his work in the
juvenile court, has denounced as a.
corporation lawyer. If the Colorado
Democrats send Hughes to the Senate,
what hollow mockery it will make of
all the Bryan pretensions during the
campaign as regards opposition to the
corporations and to wealth in gem

The result of the annual open season
in Vermont makes it plain that the
deer in that state are fast disappear
ing. The complaint OF farmers as to
damage done by the deer has brought
about an agitation for less stringent
laws for deer protection and as a re-
suit the slaughter has been greater
than usual Compared with Maine.
Vermont has very few deer anyway
and the recent legislation in the Green

authorities to number the days of the
