Good Steamer Service.
HAS BEEN MOST EXCELLENT
THIS SUMMER.
Boats Well Kept and Schedule Very
Convenient


With the beginning OF the Septem-
Der schedule and the approaching in.
stallation of the fall time table. IL Is
certainly only just to say a few words
with regard to the fine steamer ser.
vice that the Casco Bay and Harps-
well lines have been giving their pat
rons upon the islands. With so many
islands to attend TO and the great diff
bculty occasioned IN trying to meet
the wants OF everybody. II is certain
ly surprising how near perfection the
schedule has been brought, tourists
being able 10 make good connections
with any OF the outgoing trains or
boats throughout the summer. The
boats themselves are beyond a doubt
far In advance OF similar lines that
are conducted elsewhere. and steam
ers like the "Machigonne" are un-
>uestionably great advertisement for
the bay. The captains, pursers and crew
on the boats should also have their
just share OF praise for II has been a
common comment among the travel.
Ing public here hcw efficient and coir-
teous they have almost uniformly
been. One Of the biggest things for
which the Casco Bay line II respons-
ible. was bringing Harry Atwood to
Little Chebeague for his hydro aero
plane flights and Manager Godinz
surely has the heartfelt thanks OF
people all over the bay who witnessed
those flights. We are speaking for the
residents of Casco Bay In wishing

ed success in 1913.

In the election Of this Monday the
Republicans came into power in Maine
politics by making nearly a clean

election was close although II was

came In. William T. Haines, of Water
Vile, defeated Governor Frederick w.

Republican nominees from the fourth

majority OF 700 over Congressman
Samuel w. Gould. The only success

as had been expected, never being Sc
riously in the running. The contest

close, Bates only securing a margin OF
iSZ votes over Holt. Governor Plaisted
lost steadily. with few exceptions
throughout the state and in the cities
proved to be Unexpectedly weak. II
was In the rural districts, however.
that he met his Waterloo. Under the
most favorable weather conditions the
farmers went to the polls with the in
tention OF restoring the Republican
party to power and the Democratic
defeat may be traced directly to this
source. What bearing, IL any. this
election will have on the National
election in November, is difficult to de-
termine. The questions at stake on
Monday were purely local in their
nature and the Progressive and Con-
servative factions of the Republican
party temporarily forgot their differ
ences and united against their common
enemy. From this time on, however.
the Taft and Roosevelt parties will
necessarily be directly opposed in their
actlons while the Democrats will still
remain as a unit. Haines has already
stated that his election was due to the
nrm support OF the Progressive ele-
ment behind him, and a number of Re-
publican leaders who have taken the
stump for him in his campaign. have
gone on record as bitterly opposed to
the election OF Taft and in favor of
Roosevelt. With this taken into
consideration, the Republican majority
is rendered unimportant and while the
election will be close, II seems as
though Governor Wilson should carry
the state this fall. However. such
statements are but conjectures and
time alone will tell what the future
may bring.

Appeal to Reason, the great Socialist
paper, who committed suicide last week,
seemed to be among the wealthy men
of the United States; his estate is con-
servatively estimated at between two
hundred and fifty and three hundred
thousand dollars. Most of it was made
by appealing to subscribers and preach
ing socialism, which he evidently did
not practice.

Both Ways of Looking at a Thing.


The Jena Times expresses itself thus
ly about the ungallant and unjust de-
feat of the amendment to allow women
to serve on school and other boards:
Because the voters of Louisiana re-
fused to look with favor upon the pro-
position to allow women the right to sit
as members of school boards, the Era
Club, composed of New Orleans high
brow suffragettes has passed resolutions
of most revengeful nature. The club
will now attempt to have law passed
depriving women of the right to teach
in any of the schools of the State, as
well as to hold any other position COM
ing under the head of municipal or
State patronage. All of which strength
ems us in the opinion that women have
no business dabbling in partisan politics,
and that the voters acted wisely is vot-
ing down that particular amendment
The Eros Plaindealer seems to see
the same subject from an entirely diff
ferent viewpoint, and expresses its dis
gust in the following words:
The only amendment that we hated
to see lost was the one that allowed
women to serve on school boards and
the boards of charitable institutions.
No. IL. Women pay their proportion
of the taxes for the maintenance of the
schools, their children are educated in
them, and they are the mental equals
and moral superiors of most of the men.
So, we fail to see why the amendment
was defeated, unless it was feared that
allowing women on these boards would
raise the mental and moral requirements
for office-holding so high that very few
men could qualify.

In Memoriam.

Rev. Thomas j. Upton is no more.
Another one of Gods old heroes has
lain down the burdens of a long, siren
GUS, useful life, closed his eyes on the
busy scenes amid which he has been
for so long on active participant, and
with the Christian armor in which he
battled yearly sixty years for God, and
truth and right, buckled on more Sc
curely, entered into that rest in the
beautiful city prepared for all of the
loyal, faithful followers of Him who
loved and died that they might have an
inheritance in that land of eternal day,
where death never enters and where
sickness, sorrow and bereavement are
unknown.
He had been in declining health for a
year or more, and his son Thomas Up
ton, since January LIST last was constant
ly at his side to aid, comfort and minis
ter to his every want, while his loving
daughters, Mines. Francis Medlock,
VIM. T. Burnett and Augustus Rhodes,
aided in every way to make his last
days comfortable and happy.
He possessed remarkable mind that
had been richly stored with knowledge
of men and things, and quickness of
perception only equaled by the staying
qualities he evinced in defense of what
he considered right and for the good OF
others, and as preacher of the gospel,
he was able, earnest, faithful and con-
vincing, and at times eloquent, and as a
debater of questions concerning his
church or the public welfare, he had
few equals in the whole sphere of his
activities and useful life.
This eminent old divine has served as
pastor in almost every part of Louisi-
ana, and there is scarcely a town, vii
lage or hamlet in the State that hasn't
been blessed by his presence, example
and edmonton. Minden Signal Demo-
