The New York papers print pictures
of d couple who were married on the
Heights of Jersey City. The BRIDE
Groom is chief officer of the American
lner ST. Louis. He met his bride six
years ago., and their long courtship
has chiefly been conducted by wireless
telegraph in a secret code. No matter
what vessels or lands staticns picked
up their love messageslzthey esuld not
deeipher them, for the two alone held
the key OF the code.
They were to have been married
a Saturday,, but the liner was en-
veloped in dense logs in the channel
and off the banks, and the code was
used to postpone the wedding one day
because the ship could not reach New
York on Saturday.
To have kept the romance fully up-to-
date they should have arranged to spend
their honeymoon in a Zeppelin airship,
Or else they should have gone to Africa
to hunt big game, but perhaps they
were content with the service the
wireless telegraph had boen to them,
and preferred to lapse back into old
time methods

The automobile question is getting
to be a serious one with the farmers,
and especially in our community where
we have good roads,. A little more
discretion on the part of the driver,
would remedy the matter a good deal.

STATE ELECTION OF 1908.

Six states nave anticipated or will
April last Louisiana elected a governor
and other state officers, land in June
Oregon did likewise, including a pro-
nounoement in favor of the democratic
Mr.. Chamberlain for United States
senator, although she elected a Re-
publican legislature.
On September II Main elects a gov
ernor and ether state officers. Mr..
Fernald is the Republican nominee for
governor. In 1906 the Republican
nominee for governor had a plurality
OF 1888. Not in a generation has the
state gone Democratic. Republican
pluralities have generally exceeded
$1,000. Mr.. Cobb's WAS the lowest in
30 years. Roosevelt's p%luralityin 1904
was So, 1907.
Vermont will elect governorsa and other
state officers. One is as fixedly Demo-
cratic as the other Is Republican. and
neither will be AN indication of the
trend Of public sentiment. The Geor-
gia election takes place on October Z,
and it will simply be an assurance that
the south will remain solid for Bryan
and Kern.
The vote in Main on September IA is
the only chance tor a pointer before the
general election in Novsm ber. If the
Republican plurality falls below $1,000
it will be Interpreted az a forrunner of
Democratic gains in al doubtful and
contested states. If the plurality, on
tho other hand, is 25 900 it will forecast
tho election Of Taft.
On November 3 state elections will
be held in Alabama, Kentucky, Okla
homa, Virginia and Wyoming, all OF
which will elect governors. California,
Maryland, Mississippi, Nevada, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania will elect Al
the same time state officers, but nc
governors.
Oregon has already elected her rep.
resentatives in congress, and congress
man will be chosen in Main and Yer
mont next month, but the great ma
jority of the Houses of Representative.
will be elected on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in November.
