the MAINE RESULT.

There has been general disagree
ment by the press as to just what
caused the political upheaval In Maine
which resulted In a democratic vic
tory in q republican stronghold. The
Literary Digest quotes the comment Of
some OF the eastern papers who point
to Col Roosevelt as being partly re-
sponsible for the Maine result. One
Of the regular leaders In New York is
quoted as expressing the feeling
pretty well when he remarks that the
Maine election t'is the first fruits OF
new nationalism.' I" The Philadelphia
Inquirer declares that Colonel Roose.
welt has spread certain feeling OF
unrest, and this has found vent IN
Maine, The Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle is quoted as saying:
''The work of the insurgents IN con-
gress and outside has created
suspicion and factional antagonism,
and these have been fostered rather
than allayed within the past few
weeks by influences which should
have been directed toward the restora-
ton OF harmony among republicans.
President Taft has done everything
within reason to save his party from
the consequences Of the reckless folly
OF some OF Its leaders, but he has had
to encounter hostility from unexpected
quarters, and his efforts have not yet
been followed by the success that was
reasonably hoped for"
The Springfield Republican makes
this reference to Roosevelt palmer.
1t says:
.How much Mr.. Roosevelt's up
roarious plunge into personal cam
paign OF obvious hostility to the Taft
regime has had to do with this result
we shall never know, of course; but
that remarkable person has certainly
jumped into the ring in time to have
some Of the responsibility of the
party's undoing in Maine shouldered
upon himself. It cannot all be loaded
upon the party leader who has done
all4he could to prevent party split,
and kept away from that other party
leader who has done all he could
within the past three weeks to dis
organize and divide the party forces
Not everybody however, is so sure
Of democratic success, the Digest
adds Senator Lodge thinks the cleo
ton OF Plaisted was due largely to
local conditions peculiar to Maine"
and the New York Sun and CONNER
ciaI also attribute the result mainly
10 local causes. The Baltimore
American declares that the demo-
cratic victory in Maine "does not in
the slightest degree reflect national
sentiment, and means nothing for the
hopes of the democrats relative to the
trend Of the country. The Brooklyn
Times says:
1--WE can remember when DR.. Alonzo
Earcelon was chosen as governor on a
greenback ticket in 1878, and the elder
Plaisted was elected as governor on
the democratic ticket in 1880, but
these reverses in Maine did not him

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF

"For general publication, for appeal
to the unthinking and the Ignorant,
the democratic party is for tariff reduc-
ton or free trade, and makes the false
plea that by such means 1t would bring
about lower cost Of living. At heart
It is for protection wherever Its special
interests demand it, and out OF the
sight OF the public its representatives
work to secure protection for sucn IN
terests.' This is a statement made IN
speech by Representative Slemptof Wiz
ginia, who is telling the people OF his
district some things about the demo-
cratic party's real attitude toward the
tariff. Mr.. Slemp declares he has
learned what the democratic policy OF
"tariff for revenue only" really means.
It may be defined, he said, as follows:
Protection for what you have to sell
and
gree trade for what you have to
buy
Congressman Slemp confessed to be-
ing surprised when he saw some OF MS
democratic colleagues, committed by
their platform declarations to tariff re-
duction, asking for tariff increases for
particular interests He said:
81 thought, Judging from their plat
form declarations for the past fifty
years. that they looked upon protec-
ton as robbery and would not dare

rived from 1t. On the contrary I found

& Mr.. slemp was forced to the conclu-

leagues, that the democratic party is

maintaining, for partisan effect, toward
the republican policy Of protection.
The republican party's record has been
consistent in this regard It has held

the labor which they employ, should.

ENGAGE IN
FIST FIGHT IN COURT

(By United Press Leased Wire
PORTLAND, Feb. 2.-The dig
nifty of the justice court of Judge
Bell was upset yesterday after
noon by a fist fight between At
torneys Henry McGinn and Joseph
M. Long, in which Attorney Ralph
Citron officiated as referee and
the fighters. Attorney
McGinn was ordered by Judge
Bell to apologize or take a fine for
contempt of court. He left the
court room and Attorney Citron
took up the case
A question arose over the tas-
timony of the witness on the
stand. Attorney McGinn said he
would not believe Attorney Long
under oath, and made a rush st
the latter. McGinn was planting
a blow in the face of Long when
Citron leaped between the two
barristers.
The full effect of the blow was
lost, but slight mark on the
cheek of Long told what had hap
lpened. At this juncture McGinn
left the court room ana paced up
and down the corridor outside UNI

registers the pulse beats per min

CHAPTER Xxx
BY the Water-Gate. !.

1t was vast, lofty apartment,
regal in its subdued lights. An
enormous golden bed, with gor-
geous hangings, stood far down
the room. So huge was this royal
couch that Truxton at first over
looked the figure sitting bolt up
right in the middle of it. The tiny
occupant called out in very
sleepy voice:
Here l am, Mr.. King. Gee,
hate a bed as big as this. They
just make me sleep in it,
An old woman advanced from
the head of the couch and mo-
toned Truxton to approach.
81 am deeply honored, your
highness," said the visitor, bow
ing very low. Through the win
dows he could see motionless sol
diers standing guard in the bal
cony.

Nurse won't let me get up. Tx
cuse my mighty, will you, please?
I'm to have pajamas next winter"
Truxton advanced, to the side OF
the bed. His eyes had swept the
room in search of the one person
he wanted most to see of all in
the world. An old male servitor
was drawing the curtains at the
lower end Of the room. There
was no one else there, except the
nurse. They seemed as much a
part of the Furnishings of this
room as If they had been fixtures

SPIRIT b6GTOR IS
RELEASED

Columbia George, aged 20, q
full blooded Indian and former
chief of the Umatilla tribe, after
being released from the federal
prison at McNeil's island yester-
day by order of President Taft,
waited eight hours in the North
ern Pacific depot to catch a train
at 1925 this morning for home.
George was convicted, In 1901,
of killing a spirit doctor" whom
he considered a witch and blamed
for che death of his child. He
was sentenced to life imprison-
ment. George has always insisted
that he did no wrong in following
out one of the traditions of his
tribe.
