HIGHWAYS FUN
ENDS FOR YEAR
Happy Subjects OF Merry Monarch
Close Ten DAYS Frolio with
Fierce Confetti Battle.
SCENE SUGGESTS WINTER TIME
show Managers Fold Tents Like
Arabs aud steal Away--IliRh way
nesoInte Place Now with
just Ordinary Traffic,

Ten days merry making IN honor Of
the new King Ak-Sar- Ben, came to a
plorious end on the Kings Highway last
night Though clouds hung over the
city and threatened to pour their nccumu-
lated moisture down upon the revelers,
there were very few who had not the
heart so take chances. There was just
enough chill In the air to make the crowds
move In lively fashion and TO thrill them
with the autumn spirit OF merriment.
As Is usual on the last night of = carni-
val some uuruly spirits, who mad kept
themselves In check for ten days gave
up the struggle and oversteppod the
lines Of propriety Police interference
WAS necessary TO nip some small riots
in the bud, but on the whole the crowd
was an orderly one and the police were
satisfied with It's behavior.
The confetti battle wagcd nefoely for
hours and when the police started clear
ing the Highway shortly before twelve
the battlers were 10th to depart II Is
conservHtively estimated that 5000 bags
of confetti were sold during the night
The frolickers threw Il with free hands
and at II o'clock the scene was almost
a perfect winter picture The confetti
on heads aud shoulders looked like snow
the nights chill was enough to redden
cheeks and brighten eyes. The confetti
strewn ground resembled snow -blanketed
earth. An that was needed TO complete
the winter suggestion we're scuddins
cutters. the sound Of sleigh bells and a
few forms gliding over an ice rink.
when the last revelers had left the
Highway the troup OF roustabouts began
striking tents. They worked like beavers
through the early hours of the day and
by this morning many OF the shows, bag
and baggage we're on railroad trains on
their way to the next stands" WITH
only few tents left the Highway pre-
sentcd desolate picture in comparison
with that It offered a few short hours
before.

A Few More Gases Needed.

tHarper.S WeeklN.1
Already weary of the Lorimer case.
the country has not got excited over
The case of Senator Stephenson of
Wisconsin. The details SO far brought
out have probably caused more
amusement than Indignation They
for the most part relate to methods
of vote seeking that look rather old
fashioned and lack cold bloodedness
Perhaps we shall have something
more modern and startling before the
end. but as yet there is nothing more
than the old story Of a rich old candi-
date. not too astute politically, parting
with his money To managers quite as
skilful in managing him as in man
|aging his campaign. Drinks and lit
erature and organizing" as items in
the expense account are all familiar
The interest in the outlay is quantita-
tive rather than qualitative, and the
really most significant testimony vet
taken is that concerning the amount of
money usually demanded of anybody
who seeks to be Senator from Wis
consin. According to Mr.. Stephen
sons managers. he got off rather
lightly. his fund of something over
one hundred and seven thousand dol
lars being below the average. one
even detects a little grumpness in the
tone of their remarks on this particu-
lar point. as if they felt that they had
not made the most of their eppertun-
ity and had not fully maintained ira
dition valuable To gentlemen of their
profession.
But the case, notwithstanding its
lack of startling features and its COM
ing along 50 close to the Lorimer ease
is valuable. 1t will help the Lorimer
case to- help q cause which in this
country evidently reeds such investi-
cations to bring a sluggish public
opinion UP to the point where il will
effectively demand action of the Legis-
latures and OF Congress. What that
action should be is pretty plain--far
palmer than is usually the ease with
old and wide spread political abuses
We shall not have much trouble in
getting a model of a corrupt -prac-
tees act when we make up our minds
to pass one that will accomplish its
purpose. They have such a law in
England. and have had it for years,
and there is abundant testimony to the
effect that it is enforced and has prac-
tically ended the improper uses of
money in elections.

Editorial Comment
"Mobocracy.'
Independent Reporter.)

'AIldtptitutIt INtpOt tt1.J
The friends of popular government
should feel grateful to Cardinal Glib
bohs and Archbishop Ireland Tor
their recent comments on direct leg
islation and the recall. They have
done much TO hasten the day when
these progressive principles shall gen
orally prevail. Next to an advocate,
the hest promoter of progress is the
vigorous stand-patter. He helps with
the publicity, which after all is one of
the lnain factors The late p. T. Bar
mum was quite Indifferent to public
opinion in a way. and a shrewd bust
ness philosopher once laid down a we'll
established principle by saying. IF
your competitor talks about YOU, put
him on the pay roll. Never mind what
he says 50 long as he talks"
Fhat every knock is a boost has
long been realized by those who sell
goods for their living, but several
learn the lesson Among the most
CONSPICUOUS are the leaders in reli-
sleh and politics. President Taft and
the members of his cabinet have
shown no friendliness for the inita-
1--WE ana referendum, and to the judi
clat recall have been particularly hos
ne Inc veto message on the state
hood bill was hailed by the stand
patterS as a stunning blow to the re-
can, but was it, That message was
given the utmost publicity. What of
the effect? California voted on
series of constitutional amendments
Oct. 10th. Direct legislation was
adopted 1SS,lS1 to "A, $50 While the recall
applying to the judiciary went
through 14S,552 to 1920 The figures
indicate that, if Taft had any innu-
enee at all, he made over 10000 votes
for the recall and less than 2000
against.
The simple explanation of the stu
alton is that American voters have
largely quit registering second hand
opinions at the polls. They read cur
rent history and draw their conclusions
from the facts rather than from sun
dry distinguished gentlemens theories.
Archbishop Ireland may insist that
popular government to "mobocracy"
but we don't believe he got that idea

Gallup Answers Clark.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
In your issue of even date, | note
that ID. Crommet Clark makes a slur-
ring reference to the fact that men
circulating initiative and referendum
petitions in Maine have been paid for
their work Ii so happens that | had
some part in initiating the direct
primary law, and am frank to admit
that some of the canvassers We're paid.
In view of the fact that he was one of
the foremost advocates of that law, /
will risk violating any confidence and
say that Hon. Herbert NJ. Heath made
IA contribution to the fund from which
the canvassers We're paid. Now ! have
no doubt that this eminent attorney
would have been fairly successful in
circulating petitions and securing
signatures himself, but wouldn't they
have cost him lot more than five
cents per name? 1t doesn't require a
$4,000 attorney to get names on a
petition FOR something that $4,000 vot-
ers of the state already want The
| fact that the people in one initiative
( and three referen lum elections voted
to turn down the LEGISLATURE and sus-
tain the petitioners seems lost on Mr.
| Clark. Yours truly,
