The Lesson from Maine.

The Maine yankee is a born politi-
clan. For years the republican end of
him has been Toasted on the best that
a republican congress could provide in
the way of public buildings, federal Of
fees and pensions. But the expense
of these political dainties-as the sur
plus in the national treasury vanished
bad to be diminished, and he began
to wonder why the old Reed Frye
ring, or what was left Of il, had be-
come so penurious. He watched and
waited The cost OF living had ad-
vanced to an unbearable heighth and
the revision of the tariff did not reduce
prices, but actually increased them on
the average.
The Maine yankee did not then in
surge; but the Maine newspapers be-
came more independent and talked OF
lots of things that would have been
considered rank rebellion in Tom
Reeds time. The republican ringlead-
ers were all standpatteTs and would
not even admit that reciprocity with
Canada was desirable. They ignored
or stamped out all signs of insurgency,
thinking they were all-powerful.
But the Maine yankee was reading
and thinking The Maine democrats
We're asking very uncomfortable Ques-
lions. The Maine grangers and work
ingmen were demanding the initiative
and referendum, and some republican
papers voiced their demands. All the
Maine yankee voters are educated
and many republicans voters had pro-
crossed to the point OF upsetting the
regular order of things. So strong was
this feeling that they became insur-
gent, and even Senator Hale saw the
coming storm and retired. His son was
repudiated for congress.
You know the rest, for you have
heard from Maine.
Now, there is a lesson to be learn
ed by the democrats from the result in
Maine. Push the education of all the
people, native and foreign born, so that
they can at least intelligently read and

A Republican Pessimist-

The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat and
other republican newspapers are much
exercised about the partisan political
outlook. The Globe-Democrat says:
"A democratic victory in November
would bring a crash on the New York
stock exchange just as surely as the
sun would rise on Wednesday, Nov. 8.
This was true of the past and it woulu
be true in the present case"
What must be the feelings Of the
Globe-Democrat since it has heard
from Maine, and the awful possibilities
have become more than probable?
Not having yet gotten over the repub-
Hcan panic Of 1907, which Wall street
charged was caused by Roosevelt fool
ishness, we hardly expect that the
malefactors Of great wealth will be as
anxious for another crash as the Globe
Democrat believes. So cheer up, broth
or, and make the best OF what the gods
send; and TO help along matters, why
not resuscitate your Sunshine clubs?
FOR the clouds are rolling by.

Rock Island Again to the Front.

The Rock Island Exposition has once
more brought Rock Island to the front.
It has attracted thousands of people
to the city from the territory for 4
distance of so miles or more, has treat
ed them we'll, and made a good i'm
preston. This year the city, through
the enterprise of its business men and
citizens cooperating with the EXPOSE
ton, has had the satisfaction Of pre-
senting for the first time in. the Missis-
sippi valley between st. Louis and st.
Paul exhibitions Of feats which are
proving the sensation Of the age, the
achievement of all time-successfu
aerial navigation.
The Curtiss aeroplane, which flew
four times during the week from Elk
position park, amazed and thrilled all
who witnessed them, drove the doubt
ing Thomases to cover, and proved in
deed that to man nothing is impossible
beneath the sky.
And that to Rock Island all things
are attainable where the proper spirit
is employed.
Science and courage and public
spirit combined to present at Rock
Island what cities of the first class the
world over are boasting of producing.

Democrats in the strong republican
states should work the harder now
that the tide is in their favor, for their
turn for victory will soon come, and
every gain at the coming election will
help to greater gains in 1912.
The corrupt boss must go; and the
fraudulent votes must be prevented
for that is what perpetuates his power.
Therefore, be up and doing, demo
Gratis, and emulate the constancy OF
your Maine brethren, who, in spite OF
republican corruption, have never fail
ed to be constant and true to the prin'
ciples Of the fathers OF the republic.
They now have their reward.
The day of Cannonism and Aldrlch-
ism is fading into the twilight and the
night of oblivion is at hand for them
and their like. Their occult political
villainies have been exposed in part,
enough, at least, to merit the condem
nation OF the voters whom they have
so long deceived.
But victory will bring it's trials, and
the democratic leaders will need the
wisdom of the serpent and the harm
lessness Of the dove to hold the old
democratic ship to it's course so that
it may be the ark of safety for all
the people. Let every man do his duty
in the way that he honestly sees it
and thus aid in the full fruition Of the
great victory which is evidently within
the grasp OF the democracy.

understand how to guard their inter
ests. The progressive governor of
Maryland, Austin L. Crothers, in adj
dressing the Germans of that state on
German day emphasized the necessity
of education. he said:
For a country where the people
have the power in their hands, as in
this country, the voter must be edu-
Gated We must see that the boys are
educated so that they will be able to
know what they are voting for. We
need the educated voter
Maryland has given the voter the
right TO vote directly for the nominees
for office. There can be no advance in
any nation or state where money plays
a part in an election. Along this line
the state will endeavor to protect you
and will fight to the last ditch. For
this reason it prohibits corporations
from contributing to campaign funds.
A corporation has no political senti-
ments, as a corporation, and as such
it should not assist either party.
I'VE are trying to get all of the
power into the hands of the people. l
believe that when the constitution of
this country was drawn up it intended
that the people should rule in every
thing, and little by little more power
is being placed in their hands. You
will always find the Germans en-
thusiastic about good government and
for a government resting entirely in
the hands of the people. l congratu-
late you Germans for the work you
have done in this state. When any
movement for the good of the people
is about to come up I know that I can
always depend upon the Germans for

Then came my big find. l was walk

no more thought of diamonds than of
doughnuts. One of my kids wasn't

for him.. walked without finding
what ! wanted till | was tired, then
sat down on a rock to rest. While sit
ting there my eye became fixed on a
stone beside me about the size OF a
walnut.
Now, l had been working in diamond
mines for ten years. Many's the stone
l have thrown out with my pick whose
value would run from thousands TO
tens of thousands. As soon as looked
at this one | knew it for a prize, and
yet l couldn't believe my eyes. Was it
some one dropped it there? | didn't
stop to answer my own question-in

Meg was so full of the fine future be-

he would move heaven and earth TO
