The United States Senator.
(POrLland sunday Press

Maine people, irrespective of party
affiliations are extremely interested in
the outcome of the contest for United
States senator in the Democratic par
ty. The man who is selected will not
represent the Democrats of Maine
alone but the people OF the entire
state. He will be elected by the IN
coming Legislature by Democratic
majority to serve the people OF Name
for SIX years. The responsibility Tor
the choice will rest wholly with the
Democratic party and in making their
selection of q man to fill this high
office other things besides party 10y
atty should be considered.
There are at least five candidates
in the field for this position and they
come from various sections of the
State. There seems to be no loglcal
reason why location of the candidate
should enter into the selection in any
way. Were the choice to be made by
the Republicans of the State there
nigh: be some weight to the argument
that the senatorial candidate should
come from the Eastern part of Maine
inasmuCh as it has long been the GUS
tom in the Republican party to take
one of it's senators from the eastern
section and the other from the western
But the Democrats have no such pre-
cedent to bind them.
Upon their choice of an United
States senator the fitness of the Demo-
cratic party of this State to rule is
to be weighed in the balance. If their
choice is that Of a man of learning
and ability, Of integrity and honor,
who will safeguard the great interests
of Maine they will have right To
claim consideration from the people OF
this State. If, on the other hand the"
select a man for this plac" because ot
his political adrotness and services
without much regard to his fitness for
the position the Democratic party will
stand condemned. 1t will be severe
test for the Democratic majority in the
coming Legislature and while it would
be unfair to criticize them in advance
of their action in this matter the indi-
cations are that the senatorial contest
may develop into 4 most disgracc'ui
scramble for place and power.

A correspondent in New York writes
that hundreds OF helpless babies and
children are being crippled for life by
the scourge. infant paralysis, which
has q grip on that city. The board Of
health authorities there now plan to
place this mysterious disease on the
same plane with small pox, cholera
ard other plaques. and will put forth
every endeavor to discover it's unknown
characteristics. While scientific work
ers are struggling night and day to
solve the cause of this disease, the
hearts of hundreds of parents are
wrung at the prospects of an awful
future before their children. even il
they survive the attack.

A new idea for charitable endeavor
has been invented and put into actual
practice by a New York man. 1t is
a new way of Frightening the lives of
poor people. This man is an amateur
photographer. He goes into the dis
tricts of the East side. where thous-
ands of people are who never had a
picture taken in their lives, with a
camera and a handful of plates. He
offers to make a picture free of a
family who cannot afford to go to a
photographer. OF these, two prints is
all he ever gives. one for the family
to keep. and one to send back to the
old folks at home. Here is real char
ity, but it has it's curious sides. and
one of them is that when he offers to
make the photographs for nothing
many of the people refuse. fearing
some sort of scheme or trap behind it.

Thus at the start we find the police
and the city government convinced
that the outrage was premeditated,
and that it was perpetrated in further
ance of the war against the Times,
which has maintained non-union Of
flee, and that the non-union victims
were sent into eternity as terrible
warning to those who would dare OPP
chine. t
In spite of all these conditions ana
of the evidence in hand showing it to
be work OF revenge, it is hard to be-
lieve that labor unionism is directly
responsible for this terrible outrage.
In every flock black sheep are found.
Admitting to membership so largely
from the lowest strata of society one
might expect such crimes to spring
from the miners unions, but from the
very nature of the calling the typo
graphical unions are, made up of
necessity better educated; have been
reared in a different environment; are
of better understanding and grasp Of
affairs The typographical unions are
made of men of more than average in
telligence and it is incredible that they
could have allowed even the most bit
ter enmity to SO warp their judgment
as to have permitted such an outrage.
The public should not be hasty in it's
verdict, despite the evidence at hand.
The unprejudiced and judicial mind
will recognize that the worst enemy
ceived no worse blow for the organi-
cation than fixing the blame for this
diaholical outrage upon it.
The public recognizes the right Of
labor to organize for protection and to
secure it's just share of the profits ac-
cumulated by the business in which it
is engaged, but it does not recognize
the right of organized labor to say
whether unorganized labor shall work
or not. The people, sitting as a jury,
refuse to concede the privilege to or
gsnized labor to dictate to the capt.
taiist how he shall employ his capital
or how he may distribute his private
forces in caring for his capital-that
rullSf no left tn tho wisdom of a hiph-
er tribunal for which the Constitution
has made provision.
When man or association of men
has sufficient of both brains and capt.
tai to produce a great organ of educa-
ton which is shared in by the public
at a nominal price, it seems that sucil
man or such association should have
the right to arrange it's policies with
ont consulting those whom it is paying
partinents. Such a stand has been
consistently maintained by Gen. Otis.
and that he and his close associates
were expecting something of the ma
ture of Saturdays tragedy goes to
SHOW that they We're aware they had to
deal with dangerous element. In any
event they will have the sympathy of
the press and public. But, most of all
does sympathy go out to the families
of the innocent victims of the disaster
who believed in their own God-given
right to work where they could find
employment, without paying allegiance
to any organization or clique.
Certainly no worse blow has been
struck at unionism than this and must
b. long felt whether members of any
union be innocent or guilty. We hope
that evidence generating the typo
graphical union from all hand in the
affair will be soon brought to light.
