A rather remarkable thing happened
in a Maine town the other day. A boy
shot himself by accident, and was not
seriously injured.
Comment il made on the fact, as
shown by statistics, that the accidents TO
se-drawn vehicles and resulting IA
tslities greatly outnumber the automo-
bile accidents. AS to the comparative
numbers of people who ride in horse
drawn vehicles and automobiles, there
are naturally no statistics. OF course
statistics never lie. Still it could be
made to appear that vastly more people
die in their beds than anywhere else.
This seems to be the best deer season
ever in Maine. One hunter has brought
down a deer with bow and arrow, not
to mention quantities Of small game, and
another who is blind has killed deer
with q shot gun.
One aviator who started out for the
$4,000 prize for flight from Chicago
TO New York got twenty-one miles be-
fore he gave il up. Others may be
reasonably expected to have better sue
cess.
The method to be used in the attempt
to raise the Maine has been settled upon,
and work will proceed 1t seems to be
an opinion quite widely held that the
principal reason for raising the Maine is
that it may be determined whether the
explosion was inside or outside the yes
sci. The real reason for doing it is that
it is an obstruction in Havana harbor,
which we ought to remove. As to the
location of the explosion, great many
people would like to know il, and it will
set the minds of many at rest, and may
disturb the minds of others, to reveal
the truth. As for any practical benefit
from such a revelation, there is none.
The Democratic state convention in
Massachusetts, having broken up in such
a state that it was impossible to uomi-
nate candidate for governor, it ia now
proposed that the delegates shall make
the nomination by mail. Absent treat
ment, 50 to speak.
The Good Templsrs in session in their
Grand Lodge passed resolution calling
upon the temperance leaders to unite
with them in preventing or defeating re-
submission. It's a little late now to
prevent or defeat resubmission. That is
a matter that is in the hands of the lS2
members of the house and senate, and
their minds are doubtless made up as to
how they will vote on il. What We want
to prevent and defeat now is not resub
mission, but the repeal of the prohibit
tory amendment to the constitution.
IL is said that the presidency of the
senate and the srSskership of the house
will be divided between Cumberland and
Penobscot County, and that "the rest OF
the state will be satisfied" OF course
that sounds very much like an election
held in some lawyers back office. AS it
is in a wicked Republican paper, there
may not be anything in IL. Yet it is
sometimes wise to observe the rule, that
10 YOU want to find out what your own
party 10 doing, you must read the other
psrty's papers. IL We hadn't followed
that rule in the last campaign, we should
have been great deal more surprised
than we were when the returns came in.
Roosevelt has been up in a biplane.
About all the sensations now left for
him to sample are not in the physical
but in the political realm.

There was unwarrantable clamor 10
Webster's time. There was before.
There has been since. There will be al
ways. But is there more than common
to-day? Contrast the situation with that
