Among the many and diverse com
ments of the political experts on the
Maine election, there stands out con-
spicouously, as in the comments OH
| the Vermont returns, last week, the
fact that every one is pleased. Gov.
Wilson is of opinion that the results
are very satisfactory indeed" Pres
ident Taft wires the Republican can
didate for Governor that sit is a not
able and significant victory" The
Bull Moose leader is away on the Ia
cific coast, but the Evening Mail, his
New York organ, declares that the
Maine result is entirely and un-
eauivocally Progressive victory"
This interesting unanimity, in the
feelings inspired in all three parties
by the Vermont and Maine elections,
naturally suggests the query as to
whether the two september states"
may not possibly be as prophetic this
year. of the reception of the November
outcome as they are of the actual ma
tional result.-New York Post.
The result of Mondays election IN
Maine confirms two views of the po-
litical situation which experienced OH
servers have taken from the begin

dent, and, second. that a popular in
dersement of Free Trade is extreme
y hard to get twice in one genera
ton of voters in the United States.
The Maine battle was fought largely
on the Democratic side in opposition
to the principle of protection as rep
rese nted by the views and utterances
of Governor Wilson. Maine, the State
of Blaine, Dingley, Frye and Reed,
is one of the strongest protection
states in the country. 1t is so ma

Less Profanity.

With the assistance of a traitorous
male accomplice, a New York club
woman has discovered what it is men
talk about in the seclusion of their
clubs or elsewhere when foregathered
with none of the opposite sex about.
The traitorous male in question, a
stenographer, made verbatim reports
of number of club room confabs
totalling 290,l17 words. The speakers
included doctors, clergymen, editors,
jewelers., merchants. butchers, coal
passers and representatives of many
other professions and trades. In or
der to secure conclusive evidence the
espionage covered the untrammeled
discussions of the classes and the
masses. An analysis shows that
sports was the chief topic of con-
versation and that other topics fol-
lowed in the order given, their stand
ing being determined by the number
of words scored by each. 1t is
worthy of note that while more con-
versation hinged upon sport than upon
| women, the former included tho
| Olympic games. Without this un-
| usual advantage the result would
doubtless have been different.

GLASS PAVING A. FAILURE
Experiments in France Show the Ma.
terIal viii Not Stand the Traf-
fic In Streets.

Seven or eight years ago a plant
was established at La Demi Lune, a
suburb about four miles from Lyon,
France, for making glass paving ma
terial under the name Of pierre de
verre Garchey.", After many expert.
ments carried out at the factory the
manufacturer applied to the Lyon mu-
nicipality for the right to make a trial
on one Of the chief .thoroughfares.
The necessary authorization was
granted, provided that the inventor
would bear the entire expense of the
undertaking. "
The place chosen for laying the
glass pavement was section of the
Place de la Republique, where traffic
of cabs, automobiles and wagons of all
kinds is very heavy. The glass bricks
remained in place for less than two
years and were then taken out as they
were In very poor condition, the edges
were all broken, and in many cases
the blocks were split through and
through. The opinion Of officials here
at that time was to the effect that
this glass pavement could be used un.
der favorable circumstances for side
walks. but not for. the middle of
streets Consular and Trade Reports.

The women seen in the German res.
taurants, while better groomed and
better looking than the average Eng:
fish women, do not look anything like
as chic as they do in America. Their
clothes do not fit as we'll, and they
seem to not possess the air of conf.
dence or the vivacity and merriment
of the American women-they appear
to not be sure of themselves, not
wholly accustomed to the new life.
This contrast is very noticeable in
Berlin, and much more so in other
German cities. This is why a pretty

never fails to become the center OF
