The Socialists seem to have over
estimated the anti-Americanism Of
Americans. While the party vote
showed some increase over 1904, that
increase was considerably less than in
the preceding four year period Taken
in connection with the marked loss #
interest In municipal ownership dur
ing the last two years, this tends to
show that as Il people we are regain
ing our mental equilibrium. At first
glance the prospect of having public
utilities owned by 1.-THE people" was
very attractive. Public OWNERSHIP,
sounded large and democratic TO or
ears. But it didn't take long to dem
onstrate that municipal ownership did
not mean ownership by the people
but rather ownership by politi al
clique and that Its management was
more arbitrary and less efficient than
that of corporations. So, too, the s..
cialist cries of "let the workman own
the tools" and public ownership OF
all means Of production" would be
found as empty and meaningless, fer
no tyranny over the individual would be
more disastrous than to have sin
gle employer-the state-controlled by
men who had won their way TO power
by political intrigue and chicanery.

he Boston Maine station at Scarboro
DIR. Hunt left the Cummock House
1T Prouts Neck and roade to the sta
ion on his bicycle. The road was very
bad and it is supposed that the exer-
ton proved too much for him. He was
past 20. and for some time had not
oeen in very vigorous health. Mrs.
Hunt followed in carriage.
When he reached the station he
checked his wheel and bought tickets
to Portland. He left the station and
sat down on settee. He was noticed
by teamster few moments later
and seemed to be very sick Mr.. Web
star, station master, was notified, but
DIR. Hunt was dead when he reached

Country Jay Mows High
Class Field at Ripe Old Age.

Detroit, Mich, July 26.--The open
ing Of the Grand Circuit at the State
fair grounds was marked by one Of the
most wonderful races ever held on the
oval. Country Jay was in good shape
today and at, the age of Is years he
moved down a high class field in the
2l1 trotting stakes and reduced his
record to GOT 1-2. The old gelding was
not considered in the beteting an sold
in a II field in pools of 4.S2. Penlsa
Maid, on her showing at Terre Haute,
was a strong favorite and she showed
the way in the opening heat until
Country Jay rushed up to her in the
stretch The mare stubbed her toe,
went to break and the veteran won.
Next in a driving finish, Judge Lee
beat Country Jay about six inches.
After that Country Jay had the finish
powers of the lot and won more easily.
The day was ideal, the track fast and
the attendance upwards Of 1000. Three
of the races were surprises. Lady Elg1n
on the strength of a race record OF
2.O6A was the favorite in the 2.1S pace,
but she showed that too muhc has been
made of her Leading at the three
quarters, she failed in the stretch and
Cecilian King won a cheap heat. Cecil
ian King took the next two through
his good work in the stretch. Major
Mailow, fresh from the half mile tracks
where he has been breaking records
won the 2.05 pace. Dan s., led until the
last part of the first miles, but in the
next Major Mallow had the foot Of
them all the way. The 200 trOt was
