Thnt Political cotton scheme

Grand Saline Sun
We believe that il is well for the
farmer to hold his cotton, II he is
able to do so, even If he should car
ry II over tin another season, but
we do not see where he gains by hav
ing the New York Bankers take it at
the price they agree to pay 1t is
a sure thing for the bankers, but very
little consolation for the farmer.
In fact, it would take very little
money to operate a plan outlined
by the New York Bankers and we
are not surprised at other people Of
fering to advance more money and
we fear that this great scheme which
was planned so carefully for political
purposes and to boost individual can
didates will die in it's infancy

Editorial Comment
The Portland Election.

Express and AdYertiSer.)
Mayor curtis won over Mr.. Hay by
q76 pluralify. But the aggregate vote
for the Republican candidates fer al
dermen who jointly with the Mayor or
have to do with the police administra-
ton was only 476 less than the vote for
the Democratic aldermen. 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that every Repub-
Iican who was disposed to support
Mayor Curtis because of his letter"
would also support aldermen holding
to the same view. Now seven Repub
lican candidates for aldermen and one
Democratic candidate came out
squarely over their own signatures in
favor of Enforcement" The seven
Republican anforcement-candi re-
ceived ii9 more votes than did their
Democratic opponents in wards where
Mayor curtis received 81 more
votes than did Mr. Hay. And
one of these candidates was beat
en- by the one Democratic aldemenic
candidate who had declared over
his own signature that he was
respectfully favorable To the enforce
lhent of Prohibition.
Viewed in that light the enforce
meut letter does not appear to have
helped more than it hurt AS a result,
the reinforcement Mayor finds
himself in a board containing five out
Of nine committed IL enforcement
and four non-committed. but as to
hose position on that question there
can be little doubt
The fact is that the reelection of
MAYER Curtis was the result OF Il mix
ture of the good with the bad. as is
usually the case, 1t may safely be
predicted that. whatever influence the

port made famous by the since re-

Here is a new form, Brother Stew

A Business Mans Suggestion.

Here is a suggestion from a Water
Street business man and we wish to
endorse it and pass it along. 1t is for
cleaner, more attractive street for
the Holiday trade.
Much favorable comment was heard
on the street, Wednesday, regarding
the Journals suggestion for the clean
ing of Augustus principal business
thoroughfare. With the Kennebec
journal, leading business men agree
that it is false economy to allow street
conditions to discredit our city. With
us they agree that, with large mum
Der of visitors expected for Christmas
shopping, it is public duty to put
Water Street in better condition
With the Journal, also, leading bust
ness men agree that thorough clean
ing of sidewalks and paving should be
made and that it should be done at q
time when tradesmen, clerks and
patrons would not have to inhaie the
filth that has accumulated for weeks.
On Wednesday the street cleaners
were stirring up this filth in the same
manner as on Tuesday and were fill
ing the eyes, nostrils and clothing of
unfortunate passers with the germs of
all sorts of diseases-but they were
NOT cleaning the street.
At the south end of Water Street on
Wednesday, where the street cleaners,
went through the motions on Tuesday
were inches of filth in cakes and barn
acles and in powdered dirt ready fol-
the smallest breeze to whirl it into the
threats and homes OF residents, and te
choke and disgust visitors to town.
As a matter OF fact and common in
terest, is not Water Street entitled t
EXTRA service. considering the amour
of taxes paid by property holder
along the street? Then why shoult
not the merchants unite in moyemen
to secure better conditions the entif'
length OF this business tforoughfare?

The result of the election in Port
land, Monday, was the reelection OF
Mayor Oakley c. Curtis by the hand
some majority of 9S5 over his op-
ponents, Alderman Walter c. Hay.
1t is interesting to note that many
of the business men of Portland re-
garded the high school matter as one
of the best possible reasons why May
or Curtis should be given another
term. When the announcement was
made after the fire in the Portland
High school building that the mayor
believed he should be able to keep the
cost of rebuilding inside the insurance.
the average citizen had his doubts
about it and freely said so, but the re-
SUIT showed that he was right as the
Portland High school building was re-
paired after the fire at cost of sos
900 or about $500 less than the insur-
ahce. The building is conservatively
estimated to be worth $4,000. 1T is "a

The Press View.


There cln be but one conclusion. and
that is that with this class of voters
the Curtis policy counts for more than
anything else, and that they approve
notification of law They have got
what they wanted. Much joy may they
have of it. The fact appears to be
that. after all allowances for corrupt
practices have been made--and it is Il
moral certainty that there was con
siderable v6te-buying Monday, entirely
needless toe, as the event proves-that
with allowances made a ma jority of
the voters in this town, taken in the
mass, the lower and middle wards
with the upper and outer, are opposed
to law enforcement against the drink
evil and are ready to approve law null
LITIGATION. Most of the twenty cities of
the State had already by their vote in
September indicated that majority
of their electorate Was opposed 10 the
prohlbitery law. That law, however.
was at the same time endorsed and re-
tanned in the constitution by d major
ity of the voters Of the State Hence
we have a disturbing and alarming
condition in the State of Maine, with a
minority in rebellion against majority
rule and determined to have license OF
the liquor traffic. 1t is bad situation.
made worse by the aequiescenee and
encouragemen of the authorities. and
we dc not see that Governor Piaisted
is going to make it better by summon
ing the Legislature.
