ELECTION IN MAINE.

editOrially On the result in Maine the
New York papers say, in PERT:
There is a cold comfort in the
Maine election for any party. The
defeat of Governor PlaiSted by the
Taft-Roosevelt coalition is a Demo-
cratic disappointment, Int the adj
verse plurality is so snail it is GER
tain to disappear in November when
there are three presidential tickets
in the field. Phe Republican party
is mich stronger than had been sup
posed. "World.
Democrats will not accept the re-
suit of the election in Maine as a
portent, and the Republicans assured
" cannot find in it any strong en-
enlargement of such hope as they
may entertain of a victory in the ma
tional election. Times.
For the Republican party, the cleo
ton in Maine has no national signifi.
canoe, because the supporters Of Pres
ident Taft and the Prognessives bur
led the Ratchet and patched up
truce to redeem the state admins
tration from the Democrats. Sun.
Maine has uver gone Democratic
in a presidential year and the Repub
licans have evidently regained the
state by a smaller majority thai
Governor Plaisted's Democratic ma
Jority in 1910. So the Democratic
party comes out Of the ordeal in bet
ter shape, and with better organiza
lions than they have obtained IL

have just that much more money to

Tot believe there is a farmer in our
territory who could not add a hun
dred dollars year to his income, IL
he would take the advice Of a COM
petent adviser. Some OF them could
add 80 per cent to their gross in
come, some % per cent, and any of
them 10 per cent. Now the more

more goods he will buy, and the high

Anything that helps the farmers of
the community helps the town whoee
reason for existence is ministering to
the wants Of the farmers in that com

ming, will be a decided advantage to
the business men of these country
towns, If they will take hold Of 1t in

that of securing men who are comps-
