AS Goes Maine the Democratic

OF the Democratic congressman, Foss
and Ravens, in hitherto strong Re-
publican districts OF Massachusetts
and New York, and with the reduc-
ton below the safety line of 10000
in Vermonts Republican plurality
last week, this election in Maine may
be considered as foreshadowing O
Democratic sweep OF the country in
the congressional elections this fall
The elections in Maine seem to en-
body a protest against paternalism in
the state and nation. Gov. Plaisted
is pledged TO work for the repeal Of
the Sturgis commission statute. which
empowers appointees OF the state ex-
ecutive to send deputies into every
city and county TO enforce the pro-
hibition law over the heads OF the
local officers, against the sentiment OF
the communities. and at local ex-
pense. He Is pledged to resubmit TO
the people the constitutional amend
ment establishing statewide prohibi-
ton.

Is defeated for congress by the Demo
crat McGillicuddy In the First dis
trict. Asher c. Kinds, parliamentary
clerk OF the national house. has been
defeated because OF the split in his
party from the regular Hale machine.
His successful Democratic opponent.
Pennell, has overcome the Republican
district plurality OF 1922 In 1908. In
both districts the Democratic candi-
dates owe their election to the revolt

"As Goes Maine, SO Goes the Union"
The traditional saying that lne
union goes as Maine goes, Is only
tradition.
Maine has long ceased to be a 'piv-
otal" state and it's safety as Re
publican stronghold has almost passed
into a proverb.
All the more significant Is the news
OF Yesterdays election. For IT trum-
pets through the country the GOOD
tidings that no state is any longer 10
be counted upon AS the fixed asset
OF party.
The meaning OF the news is that
the independent voter is abroad In
the land. The old party lines run
and f,ow. There is no longer a refuge
for cowardice. cunning or ineptitud0
behind the fences OF the "organiza-
ton"
BY the event OF yesterday 1t Is
pointed across tn esky OF American
politics that nobody 10 politically sate
who is not politically sound.
There is not state or a county De-
tween the two oceans that Is not
good fighting ground for the cham'
pions OF political independence.
As Maine has gone against the ira
ditions of regularity" and the calcu-
lations OF slate makers. so most as
suredly- lie whole country will go IN
the November elections.
Maine has turned with Impatient
revolt from the rule OF smooth plati-
tudes and fat privilege for which Sen
ator Hale and his associates have
stood.

elsewhere will make the mistake of

JAP QUICK AT FIGURES.
Using an Abacus, He Beat Bank Clerk
with Adding Machine.

At a meeting of the Tacoma chapter
of the American Institute of Bank
Clerks the other night japanese clerk,
using a ''saroban," put it all over a
Tacoma bank clerk using modern add
ing machine in casting up long column
of figures.
The japanese, with his "saroban." did
the arithmetical stunt in thirty sec
onds. while the bank clerk, with his
modern adding machine. took fifty four
seconds to obtain q total, and afterward
it was found the clerk or the modern
adding machine had made an error,
while the japanese with his little abacus
or 'saroban" obtained the correct result
the first time. IN another test the Jap
anese might make an error, as did the
bank clerk. However. it is significant
that the japanese did not err and that he
obtained correct result far more quick
ly, though he used an ancient arith-
metical device.
The japanese that won the contest in
adding was once clerk in a bank at
Osaka, Japan. He disclaims being an
expert in adding and says many Japan
csc are much faster on the ''saroban''
than he. The little old-fashioned adding
machine used by the japanese is what
we call an abacus. Years ago in our
hang on the wall, and it was sometimes
used in the study of arithmetic. 1t is
aot used much nowadays, though it
would appear from the speed and ac-
curacy of the japanese that it might be
employed with good results.
The abacus in use in China is known
as the swan pan. The Chinese are also
rapid calculators. The abacus is very
simple device when compared with the
modern adding machine. II IS probable
that 1t requires more practice and more
arlthmetical ability to get correct re-
suits from an abacus than are required
with the modern adding machine
The abacus is very ancient 1t was
used by the Egyptians and Greeks in a
form similar to that now used in Japan.
China. Arabia and Russia. Tne word is
traced through the Greek to a word
meaning dust" 1t is said that dust was
spread upon board and that numerals
We're inscribed in the dust
In early times the Greeks used such a
board. and it is supposed that geometry
as well as arithmetic was taught with
the use of that kind Of an abacus. Later
an .abacus was developed in which beads
slId on wore or in grooves. the beads hay
ing value depending upon column. This
was probably like the abacus now used
in Japan and China. The word "caI-
culate, is traced to a Greek word mean
ing pebble 1t is supposed that pebbles
We're used II the early abacus.
The victory Of the Tacoma Japanese
with his ''saroban' over one of our bank
clerks with a modern adding machine is
not an exceptional instance A few
months ago, when the Japanese com
merclaI commissioners visited the United
MATES, contest was held in which a
japanese came out ahead in a calcuIa-
ton contest II which he used an abacus.

Rahv,s ScaIn All CruSted Over,

Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a
box of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
"a very short time she was well. She is
now sixteen years of age and pic
ture of health. We used the Cutl-
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatments after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her J. Fish and Ella NJ.
