THE FALL CAMPAIGN.

It is likely that the fall campaign will open next month in Maine and that a hard fight is to be made there for republican supremacy. There is no doubt that New England politics is seriously affected by the fighting and factionism of the dominant party at Washington, and it is being alleged that Maine has become doubtful state.
 The Providence Journal, an inde- pendent republican paper, has this to say of the Pine Tree state:
 ''It seems strange to hear that Maine is a doubtful state, for i<habit- ually casts a heavy plurality for the republican ticket. But at the election in 1908 the republican candidate for governor was successful by less than eight thousand votes, and dissatisfac- ton with the republican party has everywhere grown since that tima. Years ago Maine manifested a strong greenback leaning; perhaps some of this sentiment remains today and will contribute to the anti-republiean vote. Certainly the democratic candidate for governor will have fighting chance. provided he can command general re- spect and is a good canpaigner into the bargain Maine will hold its cleo tion in September so that it's influ- ence on the November contests will be important It is safe to say that both parties will pour their orators into the field. md that nothing will be left undone by either side to win"

BIG ExPENsE-No RETURNS.

The government has really abansi = oned the denstured alcohol enterprise which was entered upon with such hope several years ago. IL was believed that free alcohol for motive power and general use would be of great ad- vantage to the people; but the cheap ness of kerosene and gasoline must have been the stay which has killed interest in its production and been the cause of its becoming a flat failure.
 A correspondent writing from Wash irgto1. says
 -Four years ago the cry of free de- uaturs5 alcohol was very loud. and, indeed was even a high brow discus sion and agitation Congress was 10th to make it free of all internal revenue taxation. but t was said that the farmer would be able to manage his farm to greater advantage and with larger profit and that others would be similarly benefited. and the industry ought thus to be ilunored.
 50 congress made denatured aIco- hol free Of internal taxes. and the great expectations said well done and the treasury department made ready to facilitate the use of dena- tured alcohol in so far as governm ent regulations could keep hands off. At first matters went on fairly well. De- uGr1reo slcoho- was gwen HIS trlal on the farm and elsewhere as a fuel and the like. but 1t appears to have been zhz-rc0ned for these purposes. and rhe treasury department in its inter nal revenue division has recently found so little 10 do that it has de- cfded to abolish in effect the de- 1lstured alcohol division of the bu- -eau of internal revenue, and has ar ranged on July ] next to dismiss or transfer to ether departments of the treasury more than 100 clerks ana -felc agents in the division.
 'Ths division has cost the govern -n-nt s7so.deo q year. and of course. rsnix sum will now be saved. That it has been intended to abolish the di- vision has been known for some time, for the secretary of the treasury. in his estimate for treasury expenses for the next fiscal year left out any rec concentrations for the division

Cuff" on Doctors.

The report of the Carnegie Founda- tion, just issued, leans rather hard on New England doctors and likewise on some of the colleges which produce them It states that some of the medical colleges of New England are thoroughly wretched. institutions, and that the mere fact that some of them are all old schools is a poor req son for continuing them if they fail to do justice to the student The Fonclu- sion is also reached that because the schools are poor, their gradusaleS must likewise be poorly equipped. The effect that New England is already over-DeopIed with physicians anyway, and therefore will need no more for long time to come.
 The report says in part: "Massachu- sets, for example, remains one of three states which obstructs the inn provement of medical education by permitting non graduates to be exam ined for license. The law should not only require graduation from a repu- table medical school but should. in the interest of the public, fix with due warning minimum basis for admls- ly done, and should empower and re- quire the state boards to refuse exam ination to graduates of schools whose facilities are inadequate"
 Criticism of this sort should bring the old school and school doctors forward with their proofs of efficiency as indicated by the small percentage of death certificates signed by them, compared with the number of cases attended, and compared, too, with the mortality rate of physicians graduated
 in other states. Data of this kind is not difficult to obtain, and it should now be forthcoming if it is of the kind that will help hold up the regulations of New England doctors and assist them in retaining the confidence of their patients. Confidence, when it comes to doctoring, is the elixir of life It is the secret of success in the bread pill and the power behind a jacked- up schedule of prices. What could Christian Science, for instance, do without it?
 It never would do for New Eng flanders to lose confidence either in their physicians or in the colleges from which they graduate. It would be fatal. Why couldn't the Carnegie Foundation have whitewashed this thing over for a while, until the con dition Is corrected? Run quick with the props-for Dartmouth, Bowdoin, the University of Vermont and Bos- ton's College of Physicians and Sur geDns According to the report. they're all Hmping badly.-Ansonia Sentinel.

MAcDoNALp's WINNING WAY.

Norwalk citizens who have had the opinion that Street Commi ssioner James H. Macdonald was a "dodger' were highly elated when they learned that he had taken a hand in peanut politics in the town of Norwalk and the city of South Norwalk and ssvsn out the contract for a new teiford road from the Norwalk city line III, Armory hill and all the way to the Darien line. The commissioner said that the road was disgrace to tho town and city of South Norwalk and that the state would rebuild the high way and force the drIlnos>Snts to set tie. This is done under the new state road law which makes the state high way commissioner supreme in repairs of this kind. Hats off to Highway Commissioner Macdonald.
 The Hour has had the pleasure of criticising MT. Macdonald for. allow ing the disgraceful condition of the to congratulate him when he remedies conditions and proves to us that he is right on his job.-Norwalk Hour.
 The political juggling towns are the makers of poor roads and the assaii- CTS of the states highway commits sioner who declines to accept them. Politics plays the same kind of havoc with good road building that crows do with corn raising or woodchucks with truck gardening. Commissioner Mac donald has always had the courage to put his foot on it. and he is not fright ened by the political venom which IS sure to follow. He was never to blame of the condition of this road He has doubtless been nettled by it, has wait ed patiently for the towns to make it up to standard and to relieve a suffer- ing public he now steps in with the power of the state of Connecticut be- hind him to do the business in its name. He does not like to do this; but when patience ceases to be vir- tue he has the nerve and the ability to make politics stand aside and make way for what the state not only speci- fled but demands

Marriage as Crime Preventive.

Science is merely organized com mon sense," in Huxley's word1 and, therefore. what the experience of life teaches the average man is Iretty apt to be formulated as a scientific law by some savant. It has been a truism for ages that to marry is to settle down." to become steady and "respon- sible-" Now. Dr. Bertillon, on the tistfcs and studies, has promulgated certain theories" concerning the re- lation between marriage. family life and criminality. There is nothing strange or new in these theories, but they are interesting simply because

Norwich Democratic.

Charles F. Thayer ran again for mayor in Norwich this year. The election was on Monday of this week, and as usual in such circumstances, MT Thayer was elected. So was the whole democratic ticket including all the nominees of that party for alder men and coUncilmen.
 According to The Norwich Bulletin, whf n is violently anti Thayc' much surprise was expressed at the result. It did not seem so astonishing to others partly bo ,ause there have been so many precedentS for it. MT. Thayer has a strong hold on the re- spect and confidence of his party and the whole community, and this also has been demonstrated in former cleo tions which were far more vigorously

 Have you ever heard me cough or sneeze so as to attract attention ?' asked the hotelkeeper, with deep feel ing in his voice. NO, you never have But when I go to the barber shop, and lean back in the chair with a lot of towels and counterpanes fastened around my neck, I always begin wheez- ing and sneezing and coughing as though my lungs were full of cockle- burs. It's most exasperating.
 "At such time, if ever, a man should be motfonless. The barber has a deadly weapon in his hand, and, un- less he has been trained to shave peo- pie while they are enjoying eplieptic fits. he is pat to slice up your coun- tenance if you don't be still. The barber who slaves me says that he feels qualified for a situation as a circus actor. He has to dance around and make passes at me between spasms, and all the time he is pre- pared to jump few yards in case I cough up a short rib. Such exercise necessarily makes a man feel like an acrobat in time.

 Crime. Dr. BertiIlon shows.

Widowers re- vert to the criminality records of wild bachelors including "Apaches." Childless widowers are the worst of- fenders of all; they stand highest on the criminality lists. This shows the value of woman's control or compan- ionship.

TIT IS NEW LoNDoN's DUE.

 There is something almost uucanny zn New London's failure to develop as a csnter Of marine commerce. It has a magnificent harbor, with an average depth Of 3E feet Is much nearer to Euro pezn ports than New York, 1t is in the center of an extensive manufac- turing territory which makes large use Of imported raw material. and exports manufactured productse, it has abund- ant land for doclage and it is one of the few coast towns in New England where the water front is not controlled -cy the railroad and which still has the advantzEs Of railroad competition
 For all this New Iondon's splen- did facilities have furnished accommo- S3atioEs for only the dingy coastwise traffic and the pleasure craft of the xachtsmea-
 steamships on the Groton side of the river seemed indicative of great things. but the shipyard which pro Si-ced them Is closed. The New York 1reiEhters are the biggest vessels to make use Of the splendid bay. Won ,ie-ful advantages bestowed by nature are contributing very little to New London's material prosperity"
 It is due to New London that she should be given this distinction. It would certainly be of advantage to Norwich and 10 9 large region of back country which extends through west er1 New England in facilitating the exportaticn and importation of goods, and their prompt distribution.

Back from Canada.

Census enumerators have made the discovery that many American farm CTS who sold out and went to Canada are coming back to the United States and are resuming business in the west where they left off when the Canadian boom captured them. After actual trial they found conditions less allur- ing in the Dominion than they had ex- pected and decided that they could not for mary years to come, if ever. offer real improvement over things as they exist today south of the line.
 This is not surprising, and, as the enumerators indicate the return of the Americans who went north will continue. The fact Is, without dis paraging the Canada soil, it's resourc- es and opportunities, there never was time a country that offered great CT inducement for working the land than the present in the United States. Land of every description is available here-semi-arid requiring irrigation, and the deep, black soil that is neither susceptible to nor dependent on ar tificial watering; and, more than that, the system of irrigation, backed by the government, is being pushed with ample capital and energy as to place the reclaimed area within easy reach of men in most moderate cir cumstances.-Omaha Bee.
