About the State.

John McLain, IL years of age, was
drowned while skating on the river al
Midtown Tuesday.
Homicides in Maine for the year 1908
number twenty. Six of the cases are
listed as murder and eight as man
slaughter, while in half dozen instances
murder was followed by suicide. One
of the cases above reckoned as murder
is by some regarded as accidental shoot
ing.
With the first of January, the First
Regiment of Infantry of the National
Guard of the State of Maine became the
Coast Artillery Reserve Corps. The
change was tittingly observed by ban,
auet at the West End Hotel, Portland
Friday night, attended by past AND
present officers of the First Regiment
which has had a continuous existence al
an organization since 1878, and was the
nucleus of the regiment which Maine
sent out for the Spanish war in 1898.
A loss amounting to not less than
$50, 900, and by some estimates much
larger, was suffered by the village o.
Freeport Tuesday morning in fire
which destroyed two large buildings ant
damaged others. The buildings entirely
burned were the two-story wooden BLOCK
owned by the 81. E. Davis Co., and the
three-story wooden block known al
Clark's Hotel. Seventeen stores, one
society hall, branch bank, and Other
places of business, suffered loss. An en-
CINE was sent from Portland. Insur
ance amounts to about $4,000. Tit
cause of the fire is unknown.

The columns of the Democrat are open
to any reasonable discussion, and the
above is willingly published. Accord
ing to the statement OF the writer,
"Quite number have become Interested
in the question Of economics" The
Democrat makes no claims to authority
in economics, but wishes to point out
very briefly certain things which 1t re-
CARDS as utterly untenable 10 the position
of the Socialists as outlined by Mr..
TYLER. His statement Of the matter is
a concise summary Of the Socialist po-
sition, as 1t has frequently been present
ed at greater length by Socialist orators.
The Socialist starts with the statement
that Labor produces all wealth." he
rarely puts the conclusion BADLY In 80
many words, yet the whole tenor OF bis
argument is to the effect that because
labor produces all wealth, all the prod
uct Of industry should 60 to the
laborers, and none of 1t anywhere else.
In sense 1t is true that all wealth has
been produced-that Is, material fur.

converted into form for mems use-by
labor. But man with nothing but bis
hands, turned loose upon nature, would
make very slow work Of producing any
thing. Just as soon as he had accumu
lation enough from his labor to make 8
tool to use, he would use 1t for his as
sistance; and be would keep on usinl
