Reeds Successor Saved

The Citizens political summary of
last week was written and ready for
the press before the news was receiv-
ed of the disaster to the Republican
party in the state of Maine. To some
the closing paragraph outlining the
success of the Democrats may have
seemed a rather incongruous end 70
the article, Smoother Seas; but
the reference in the article was 10
conditions between the factions N
the Republican party, and not to the
Republican and Democratic parties.
The news that was given in the last
paragraph was correct as to the ee-
suit, with the exception of one item;
il was therein stated that the Demo-
Gratis had gained three congressman,
and the fact that two of these were
from the two noted districts in Maine,
Dingley's and Reeds, was made much
of; also the further fact that the con-
gresham in Reeds district was
Mr.. Cannon's prompter, being a noted
|
more than ordinary significance. IT
is as to the latter district that the
mistake was made; the paragraph
was written from the very earliest
reports, and it turned out that Mr..
Reeds successor was not defeated
and, in consequence, the Republican
Congress and Mr.. Cannon, II lie
should be again elected Speaker, will
not be deprived of the services of
that distinguished parliamentarian.
New England Elections
The elections in some of the New
England states, Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont especially, are al
ways looked forward to on the years
that Congressman and Presidents
are elected with unusual interest, ow-
ing to the fact that these elections
come in September preceding the ma
tional November election. These cleo
tons are considered significant be-
cause of the fact that they are sup
posed to throw light upon the trend
of public sentiment and give an ink
ling of the result that may be expect
ed in the national elections following.
Both the Vermont and New Hamp-
shire elections had been held, and
were reported on in The Citizen last
week. In Vermont the Republicans
won, but by vastly reduced MAORI
ties. owing to the fact, it is thought,
that the Insurgent issue was not
clearly outlined. In New Hampshire
the victory was won clearly on In
surgent and Standpat lines-a decid
ed victory for the Insurgents-and
the effect of this victory has been
felt throughout the land, and has
been put down to the credit of the In
surgents. These were powerful plead
ers for harmony in Republican ranks,
and proved great eye-openers to the
Regulars or Standpatters. Everywhere
there seemed to be a tendency tow
ard conciliation-concilia as out
lined in the article of last week
harmony and willingness to concede
after the primaries. 1t was in the
light of these facts that the article
was headed Smoother Seas"
PhjIosophical View
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1910-09-22
Philosophical View

But what now of the situation in
the light of the result in Maine? In
word it may be said that the Repub
licans have been set to thinking and
planning, and the Democrats have
begun their Growing. Their watch
word is a simple one and good If they
can just carry it out, "Sit steady in
the boat; but that is something
they are not good at doing, and the
Republicans may have some hope in
view of that fact. Again it is decid-
eddy better for the Republicans that
this slump should come in the mid-ad-
ministration elections. If it is looked
at philosophically it might be said
that il IS the best thing that could
happen unless it should go so far as
to deprive the Republicans of suffi-
cient machinery to continue the car
rying out of their pledges. If it only
results in reduced majorities it would
have the good effect of forcing them
to have a care for their acts, and,
thus spurred to the full sense of du-
ty, any lack on their part, for the
first two years of the administration,
might be made up, and so well made
up that victory would crown their ban
ners in the presidential election fol-
lowing Such has been the case in the
past. and such may be the effect of
this present scare.
Real Conflict Soon
In any event the battle will soon
be on. Up to the present time The
Citizen has been chiefly interested in
the warning elements in the Republic
can party, while its sympathy has
been entirely with the Insurgents.
There are but few more primaries to
be held. New York and Minnesota

Will Plume logs to the Pacific Ocean

Will Plume logs to the Pacific Ocean.
 Equipment for a ten-kilometer logging railroad has been purchas- ed by the Pacific Timber Company, the Philadelphia corporation which is preparing to make inroads in the pine forest on the Monteverde range, near Coalcoman, in the state of Michoacan, south of Coli ma, The equipment, which con sists of a Shay locor&otive and six teen logging cars, has been ordered from the Russell Car and Foundry Company, of Detroit, Michigan, and the Lima Locomotive and Machine Company, of Lima, Ohio. General Manager John C. Rhodes placed the orders last week, before returning here from the States The investment represents $62,OOO Mexican silver. The locomotive and cars will be shipped section alized to the port of Huahua.
 The logging road will be laid out through the forest from the main sawmills at the Monteverde camp of the timber company, and will serve to move the big logs rapidly for saving into sizes suit able for shooting down the Hume to the Pacific ocean. Wooden rails will be used for the present, the cars and locomotive having special flanges for that sort of track
 A semi marine loading station, which is sort of cableway, or aerial tram line, has also been bought for the timber company, and will be erected at the little port of Huahua, which is the land- ing place for the Pacific boats of the corporation. Large timbers and sawed lumber will be loaded on ships in the bay by means of the cableway, for shipment to the States and Europe. It is expected that the twenty-five kilometer Hume from the sawmills to Hua- hua will be finished within three months.-Guadalajara Times.

especially yesterday and to day, and the clearance for the week will be good. Moderate supplies next week will meet a strong and active market, but too many cattle will spoil it all again. Some choice heavy steers brought $7.15 Tues day, top for the week, and prime yearlings have sold at $7.10, other wise most of the beef steers sell at $5.25 to $6.25, cows $3 9 to $4.75, top heifers this week $615, bulls $500 to $4.25, calves $4 % to $8 co, stockers $3. 50 to S4.75, feeders $4 % to $5.25. Quarantine supplies have been very slim, not enough to make a market, but there has been a good run from the West, Colo, rado beef steers at $4,50 to $4 90, feeders $4 30 to $5 25, stockers $4.OO to $4 90, cows $4.10, heifers $4.50. Packers prefer the good mountain cattle to poorly finished short fed steers.
 Hogs here this week 52,600, last week 30,700, same week last year S,4OO. Run this week is biggest of any week since July, and it is the first week that has been within sticking distance of corresponding week last year in long time. Fri. ces have tumbled all week, off 10 cents to-day, all weights selling closer together now than any time since last spring. Run is 1000 to- day, top $7.45, bulk of sales S7.35 to $7.45, with medium and heavy weights leading.
 Sheep this week 43, 800, last week 54,100, same week last year 2S, 200. The market has been weakening for some time, and Wednesday 1t collapsed completely, and closes the week in a most feeble state, 50 to 75 cents under week ago. Some fed stock is coming, and good deal of feeding stuff from the West has also been included. Fat lambs bring $5. 40 to $5.75, feeding lambs $4.40 to $4.S5, fat yearlings up to $4.OO, wethers $375, ewes $3.60 Bearish talk is freely indulged in, having as a basis the large number taken to feed lots this fall, but we'll finished stuff may come out
