THE END OF AN ERA.

On Monday an election for Governor
and Congressman and members OF the
Legislature was held in the rock
ribbed Republican State of Maine. The
Democrats and other people interest
ed i'm good government hoped to cut
down the majority of the candidates of
the special Interests, by reason OF the
recent graft and corruption i'm the G.
%. p, but the result exceeds their
widest anticipations, for from this
hide bound State of the protective
tariff will 90 to Congress, two il not
three Democratic Representative and
Democrat, in place of U. S. Senator
Hale, will also be elected, when the
new Legislature cOnvenes. Wise,
was Senator Hale in furling his sails
and in announcing his retiremet from
public life before he was acrimonious
ly kicked out.
1t has for many years been the say
ing that as Maine goes so goes the
country. This prophecy has been
justified for many years, and its truth
will be again demonstrated this fall
The sweeping victory Of Democratic
principles In such a Republican State
is proof positive that the Republican
party, the party of Ballinger and OF
Cannon and of Aldrich, and other
grafters, il in its death throes. This
is encouraging to the honest Ameri-
cans who are fighting for good gov
eminent and their right to live de-
Gently with honor and self respect.
So we fling to the breezes our ban
ners, and rejoicing in the downfall OF
hypocricy and cant, of graft and
greed, as typified in recent years by
the Republican party, in the first
fight of the year i'm which the Ameri-
can people have had a chance to show
their land and take a stand. The
victory in Maine of honesty presages
similar results all over the country
and proves that in New England the
Republican voter will not stand fol
the acts Of the Taft administration and
we confidently look forward to the
Government of the country in a few
years, resting safely under the ROSTERS
wing. For fifty years, in the name 81
protection, the American people have
been robbed for the benefit of {
privileged class, but thank God, tho
| end OF that era il at hand

ROOSEVELT AND THE NEGRO.

Who does not recall that when
Theodore Roosevelt was President he
defiantly shocked the sense Of pro-
priety of all descent persons by in
wiling to dinner and dining with
Booker T. Washington. Who is it that
employed darkey servants at that time,
that does not recall how the negroes
Immediately after this glad tiding was
spread became impertinent and put
on airs. Much trouble, serious trou-
BILE, was caused in the South by this
action of the country's then Chief
Magistrate and Ills many friends at
tempted to apologize for it by saying,
1T was done thoughtlessly, and he
sincerely regretted it." And the Amer
lean people, who universally condemn
ed this act, kindly and charitably
overlooked it, believing that the Presi-
dent had acted on impulse.
But, what can now be said of his
most recent escapade in the fields of
social and intellectual equality? The
appointment of Washington as an
editor of the Outlook and sending him
abroad to look up and write about
labor conditions i'm Europe reflect up
on the ability Of the white man. This
action cannot be justified on account
of his color or race, otherwise, he
would have been sent to Africa. We
do not wish any one bad luck, but why
does not this hypocritical politician,
in order to carry Gus MS views bring
darkey into hi family, for what
else, by this association, can he mean
but social equality and the hybridiz-
ing Of our people ? And vet, he j. the
man who il % widely acknowledged
as The First American. From all such,
Good Lord deliver us

THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY In
MAINE,

The sweeping victory which the
Democratic party achieved in the cleo
ton on Monday last, sends thrill OF
enthusiasm through the ranks Of the
Democratic party throughout the
country, and an Arctic region shlyer
through the ranks of the Republicans,
high and low. Even Mr.. Roosevelt
answered when asked about the Maine
election, II have nothing to say"
1t used to be said, "As Maine goes,
SO goes the country" And it il be-
lieved now, that the Maine election is
q pointer for the conditions through
out the country.
Indeed, in every locality where
elections have recently been held, the
Republican party has shown itself to
be i'm a thoroughly demoralized condi-
ton.
Maine has not elected Democratic
Governor for thirty years, and 1t IS
remarkable coincidence that the last
Democratic Governor in that state
was the, father of the present Cover
nOr-elect.
The Republicans have not only lost
the Governor, but the legislature, and
two if not four members of congress.
So that the Republican party in Maine,
which has hitherto been considered a
rock-ribed Republican state, has al,
most been blotted from the political
map.
1t is now believed by almost every
one, that the next House of Repre-
sentatives will be Democratic.
Now comes the opportunity and the
of the Democratic party.
We have been out of control of the
government for long time, and for
reasons not necessary to state. As
Stunning that the next House will be in
control of the Democrats, if our party,
it's representatives, shows
wise craftsmanship, and due regard
for the interests of the people the
way will b. clear for the triumph OF
the party at the coming Presidential
election. The people of the country
are evidently dissatisfied with the
Republican party and want change.
Now it is up to the next Democratic
National Convention, to give the party
simple, plain, Democratic platform,
and place upon it, Democrat whose
fealty to the time-honored principles
Of the party is such as to inspire the
confidence of the voters of the coun-
try.
1t is a good time for the Democratic
party to heed the admonition of the
old Prophet to ancient Israel, ASK
for the old paths and walk therein"

trically opposed. Taft stood, strange
to say, for the Democratic doctrine q
states Rights, while Roosevelt bitter
ly upheld the theory of Capitalization
of power at Washington. Of course
Roosevelt, with his dream Of abso-
lutte dictatorship, could not do other
wise. But which one is right, and
where, then with these distinguished
men pulling different ways, Will the
Republican party be
Thus we can see that it is true
t'that there il little left for the DEM
ocratic party to talk about" though IL
was not so intended. Yet, how often

UNCLE SAM FACES BROWN GIRL
PERIL.
Influx of japanese Women Creates
New Phase of immigration.

San Francisco, GAIA phase Of
Asiatic immigration that IL beginning
to attract attention is the increasing
number of japanese women that the
trans-Pacific liners are bringing to
this port. Many of these women are
Of the coolie class and most of them
are. so-called picture brides. On the
Korea, which arrived recently, were
twenty-five Oh these women, and a
like number has been brought by
nearly every steamship for the last
few months.
Under the Roosevelt arrangement
with the Japanese government coolie
immigration from Japan is supposed
to have stopped and the official
records show decided reduction in
the Japanese population of this State.
The immigration law allows male
aliens who have established a resi-
dence here to bring to this country
their wives provided the women pass
the physical and mental test imposed
upon all aliens. Uncle Sam also re-
fuses to interfere with loves young
dream and the domlcfIed alien who
wants to send for his sweetheart is
given a chance to do SO provided he
marries the girl as soon as she lands
here.
These Japanese girls, however, are
married before they leave Japan.
The groom is represented at the cere-
mony by his photograph and in the
eyes of the Japanese government the
marriage tie is just as much Of a
knot as if the groom had been there
himself to swear allegiance to his
little brown bride.
This government, however, refuses
to accept this Pickwickian marriage
as the real thing, and when the pic
ture bride arrives here she must take
the original of the photograph to the
County Clerk, secure a license, and
VOW her vows all over again before
| clergyman or justice of the peace.
Until the bride conforms too these
requirements she is kept under sur
veilance by the immigration authori-
ties. Until recently the picture bride
was somewhat rare. From the num-
Eers now coming it would seem as II
all epidemic Of lOVe-sickness had
7, broken out among the local Japanese.
| Either this or there is brewing for
Uncle Sam little brown girl problem
that will come up for solution before
very long.

WINNING THE WEST.

The West is the Roosevelt hunting
ground. In the spectacular tour
just completed by this splendid Amer
lean and remarkable person, in his
effort to nominate himself for Presi-
dent, i'm 1912, he has disrupted the Re
publican party, taken contrary views
To his protege Taft, and incidentally
had bully time" This everyone
who reads knows, and vet, in view Of
this common knowledge, the paper
across the street is so deep-dyed in its
sinful stains Of standpatism, that
gleefully remarks
After Mr.. Roosevelt's tour of the
West, where he stirred up the voters
for the Republican candidates for
speech at the Conservation Congress,
there is little left for the Democratic
party to talk about"
Now this IL the truth, but was not
ilrended to be, and happened only by
reason of the fact that our esteemed
friend has not vet realized that the
fllse god of protection which it has
been worshiping for 10, these many
Eaars, is now unveiled, and its cor
rlption displayed. Roosevelt sees it
and says the party he has belonged to
haust change its course. This is OPP
tosed by Taft who wishes to white

BURN lin CEMETERY
FIRE.
Imposing Monuments Found to be of
Wood Treated tOLOGk Like Marble.

New York, February 12.-"Please,
mister" said an excited small boy
running up to Policeman McCrossin
near the Holy Trinity Cemetery, Cen
trail avenue and Pill1ng street, Brook
lyn-"please, mister, come quick; the
graveyard l. on fire"
Lead me to it, said the policeman.
II never saw a fire like that in my
life"
The boy piloted the officer inside
the cemetery wall, and there, sure
enough, was fire. Flames were
other. Broken columns and gates
the ground.
Are you sure you see it too q ask
ed the cautious officer.
There goes a big marble monu-
ment," said the boy.
McCrossin did not stop till he had
reached the fireboz. When the fire
men came they found that flames had
destroyed a whole row of tombstones
and were reaching for another row.
The firemen poured water over sever
al memorials and put out the fire.
Then they investigated the compost
ton of the tombstones that had de
veloped infamable qualities. They
found the stones were in reality
frames Of wood which had been treat
Cd with some preparation which look
ed like marble and granite but in true
inwardness was pine. Four hundred
dollars worth of 'ftombstones" had
been destroyed.
