THE MAINE ELECTION.

In the state election in Maine Monday
the Republicans won back the govern
orship and state authorship. secured
three of the four congressman and a
sufficient majority on joint ballot in the
legislature to assure the election of a
Republican to succeed Obadiah Gard
ner, Democrat, in the United States
Senate The plurality of William T.
Haines for governor over F. w. Plaisted
is little more than 3OOO In 1910 Plais-
ted was elected by a plurality of $780,
Asher c. Kinds and Frank f. Guern-
sey, Republicans, were reelected to the
national House of Representa- tves from
the first and fourth districts respective
ly. In the third district Forrest Goodwin,
Republican, will supplant S. w. Gould,
Democrat. d. j. McGillcuddy, Demo-
crat, was reelected in the second dis
trict. The Taft Republicans and the
Roosevelt Republicans united their
forces to regain possession of the state
patronage, which includes about 400 jobs
1t is expected, however that there will be
both Republican and Progressive electoral
tickets in the field in November. and
the Democrats are therefore confident
of carrying the state in the national
election.

The opening of the school year is
a good time to again call the attention
to the need of cooperation between
teachers and parents. Many parents
who would be offended If any ntimation
Is made that they are not good citizens
work hard to give their children a start
in life, and they keep a close account of
their investments and consult about
them with their bankers, their lawyers
and their friends who are supposed to
have good judgment, but with regard to
their most precious Professionalism
children-they never take counsel. They
simply send the youngsters to school
and expect the teachers to turn out a
finished product. They never visit the
school room, they hardly know what
courses of study the children are pur-
suing, and they know nothing of the
traits of character or the bents of the
children's minds as observed by the
teacher. Parents, teachers. and more
than all the scholars, who are the hope
of the future-upon whom the future
in fact depends-would be benefited If
the fathers and mothers would visit the
schools, consult with the teachers, and
know what the schools are doing and
are trying to do.

Men of speakershIp caIIbre.

There will be at least four men OF
speakership size in the coming house OF
representatives. They are John II.

bans. By means of methods not unsug-
gestive of double dealing, Addison county
lost the lieutenant governorship nomina-
tion, this year, and nobody can blame
that county If she puts up strong
claim for the speakership. Mr.. Plumley
has special training. secured in the house
clerkship, that fits him for the Office and
his town elected him representative with
speakership expectancy. Mr.. Ryder has
all the ability required by the Office and
would make an exceedingly good record
in IL. Mr.. Watson is a Democrat, but
st. Albans Republicans Joined with Demo-
Gratis in his election and he might be
chosen speaker with credit to all par
ties. Presumably the election Of speak
er will come before the joint assembly
vote on the governorship. SO the speak
ership contest may have its bearing upon
the other, provided advantages It affords
are not vacated too soon.-IRutland

RAILROAD TAXATION.

Since 1903 the railroad taxes in Ver-
mont have increased more than $75,OOO
and the average rate of taxation has
advanced from $500 to over $40 on $1,000
The railroads are generally appraised
for their fun value, while individual real
estate is generally appraised from two
thirds to three -fourths of its actual
value. The law gives the railroads the
option Of paying on their appraised val
lie or their gross earnings, and those
that pay on their appraised value are
assessed at the rate of $3.50 per $1,000
individuals offset their debts against
their personal property and pay a tax
on the balance only but railroads are
not allowed to Offset any debts against
their personal property, and their as
sessment Is based on the value of all
their real and personal property, re-
gardless of Indebtedness. Since 1903 the
railroad taxes have increased from $171,-
1854 to $315, ,234.35.
In the last nine years, during which no
direct tax has been paid, the corpora
tion taxes have increased from $539, ,O73. 90
in 1903 to $1,071, ,S52.41 in 1872 Thus it will
be seen that the corporation tax has
practically doubled during that period
and has paid for the largely increased
expenditures for better schools, better
roads, and other progressive policies ad-
opted by the Republican administrations.
In the past ten years the corpora
tons have paid into the state treasury
in the form of taxes s7,737, 1874, of which
the savings banks and trust companies
have paid s3,922, S69.62; the national banks
s23s,2lS9i; railroads s224O. 2sO.56; insur.
ance companies $1,O64, 117.26

MULFoRD's ADDRESS UNKNOWN.
Meat Market in Judge Building Closed
Proprietor Arrested Recently on
Charge Of Keeping Liquor.

The whereabouts of Ora Mulford, for
mer proprietor of Mulfords meat mar
ket, are not known to several persons in
town who are considerably interested in
him at the present time. Mr. Mulford
cannot be found at the market he for
merly conducted, in the basement of the
Judge building and letters addressed to
him and to the market are in this
weeks list of advertised letters in the
post office.
Ora Mulford was arrested on the even
ing of Aug. and was given a hearing
on the charge of keeping liquor with
intent to sell. The case was continued
TO Sept. 2. Z. w. Gibson is attorney
for the marketman and became surety
for him in the sum of $500. Shortly
after the hearing Mulford disappeared
from the streets of Brattleboro and last
evening his bondsman said he did not
know where Mulford was. The market
has been let by H. G. Barber who owns
the building, to Peter Biagiotti, propri-
etor of the Boston Fruit company, for
a storage for fruit. There remains in
the basement a set of self computing
scales, an ice chest, a barrel of pickles,
a lounge in the back room, where Null
ford lived, and other property, but these
have not been claimed by Mulford.
Miss Sartell, who was employed as
bookkeeper, does not know where her
former employer is and her mother has
asked Chief-of-Police George Wilson to
look for him as she claims there is a
sum of money due on her daughters
wages. The chief has not seen him for
several weeks.
Last evening States Attorney F. E.
Barber said that he would take up the
case against Mulford immediate after
the close of the September term Of court
II he does not appear his bond win be
forfeited
When Mulford was arrested by the
chief OF police the officers found 26 pints
OF Canoe Club whiskey in the ice chest
In his store and the state claimed to
have good case against him for selling
liquor without a license.

MIR. BOWRON's RECENT ADDRESS
By J. II. wEATHERLY

l have been compelled by circumstances over which l have no control to spend my summer away from my home in busy Birmingham. While I have enjoyed the hospitalities and affectionate care of my two daughters, one in Talladega and the other in old Jacksonville. I have missed some of the good things that have, dur ing the time, come to Birmingham, but the greatest loss and real loss, is that feast of soul that, when at home, am permitted almost every Sabbath to enjoy coming from the lips of that grand man of God. the pastor of the Southside Bap tist church.
 This morning I took up the Sunday is- sue of The Age-Herald to glean from it some of the most important happenings recorded in it's columns. After a little, my eyes fell upon the Sunday morning talk of MT. James Bowron before the South Highland Presbyterian church on the Study of the Bible"
 Only this morning, something else had just seen in print, led me to say to my haughter, Every Sunday school should be a Bible school, and every church. should be a Bible school" 1 may add here that for several years past l have felt deeply the force of that conviction.
 MT. Bowron referred to and partly quoted Deuteronomy, sixth chapter and sixth verse; That the reader may be sure to read it. l take the liberty to give it literally: And these words, which l command thee this day, shall be upon thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way and when thou Hest down, and when thou risest up.n Deut. 6:6-7
 [ have marked few of these words for emphasis. but like every very im- portant command or promise in Gods word, every word in this passage is em- phatic.

From the Manutacturers Record.
 Amid the turmoil of politics and re- gardless of the claims of this or that party as 10 Its particular theories he- ing. necessary 10 the nations material advancement it may be well to bear In mind the following facts
 1. The country Is now producing pig iron at the rate of about 29,000,000 tons year, with consumption exceeding production. This is at the rate of about 100000 tons higher than the boom year of 1906 and at the rate of about 2,000,000 tons higher than the produc- ton of 1910, the record year of iron output.
 2. The cotton manufacturing inter- ests of the country, which for several years suffered from a period of depres- sion greater than this industry had had for very many years. are now enjoying great prosperity. Cotton mills Tn all parts of the country are crowded with work and making money

to come out and boldly face the current of public opinion and tell the people their duty. MT. .Bowron can do this. l know MT Bowron, personally. I do not know how successful he may have been as a business man. but he impresses me as a very busy man. His stalwart frame and healthy glow bear testimony to a well spent life. and his moral standing adds emphasis to every utterance in that grand speech, Every religious journal In our land and every secular paper ought to give that talk full space and a word of indorsement.
 Some may say: 1T am too busy; I have rot the time to read the Blble,' and some may say 1t is too great a sacrifice to live a Christian life. To the sincerely Christian man or woman no duty to God or to man Is a sacrifice it is the highest pleasure of such to do the will of God.
