PINHEAD POLITICS.

Gov. Wilson is already suffer- ing the petty degradation that busybodies inhict on a presiden- iial candidate. His wife is obliged to deny that she favOrs cigarette smoking by women. If she had not thought it proper to deny this for her own sake, the governors managers would probably have
 had to deny it for her, in order to save the Anti-Wonlan's-Cigar- ette-Smoking vote. As it is, there are grave fears that the denial has ,alienated the Cigarette-Suffraget- !te vote.
 Wilson managers arc prcpar- ing briefs to demonstrate that he
 has never persecutcd Roman Catholics. and other briefs to demonstrate that he does not ia 'vor them above all other men. They will have to furnish docu- imcntary evidence that he never

 jan-Bulgarian- -Monirnegrin vote.
 But Eureka! in escaping this dan
 ger he will not have to sacri-
 flee the Chinese laundrymen's vote, for they have no vote.
 stump speakers will lay stress hn h1 T., "a colored butler and therefore is deserving of the whole negro vote. Princeton men will be cxhOrtcd to vote for him for the sake of old Nassau. Sccret-fraternity men will bc organized to vote implac- ably against him because he was rude to thom at Princeton. The
 Otch-Nirginian vote is for him because his ancestors came from Scotland and he was born in Vir- 'ginia.
 And so it. goes. until at times if
 looks as if the only vote in the country which ddi not mailer was Inc American vote. But in reality all this catering by politicians 10 narrow cli1ucS will not make a ripple on the result.
 The American people have do- ivclopcd beyond the influence of such parochial politics. They elect or defeat presidents these days on public principles, not on private prejudices.

 the coastwise trade are given the
 privilege of free passage through

 The talk of an appeal of the question to The Hague is silly. What is the question which The Hague would be called upon to decide? Merely this: Has or has mot the government of the United SlateS the right to decide on what terms and conditions Amer lcan ships, carrying American goods from one American port to another, shall have the right to use a waterway constructed by the government of the United States through it's. own territories ) Docs anyone imagine this coun- try would consent to submit this iTuestion to any foreign tribunal? |?
 IT such question as this can be submitted to The Hague, the Gu' stion what rates can be charg- cd by American railroads, carry ing American goods from one American terminal to another, is equally subject to rrvicw by The Hague tribunal.
 The question is not one which affects international relations di- rcctly or indirectly. It. is one purely and entirely of domestic concern.

A FEW FACTS.

IL is not an uncommon cXper- informed person that for every dollar taken from the mines of inc country, another dollar has hccn expended. In other words, That there is in reality no profit in mining, speaking of the in Ilustry as a whole, for the reason that costs arc equal lo the wealth produced.
 Such statements are, it may r,adily be understood, simply the result of transformation. No one really acquainted With the min ing industry would think for a moment of making such a stale mcni. for those who have studied try know of inc great total of new wealth added every year hy the precious metal mines of the rOuntry.
 Anyone studying the report of inc United States Geological Sur vey, to take the most accurate authority on the subject to be found, will quickly realize how great this wealth is which is add I'd each year-ncw wealth, never befOre in use, not merely wealth that has been transferred from one industry to another, from one man to another.
 To take the preliminary report for the year 1911, final revised figures upon which will differ very little from the figures first issued. Gold production, $96,- 233,528; silver, 57,796,it7 fine ounces, valued al S3i .787 ,866; new refined copper. i,i33.875.02G pounds; primary refined lead, A8G,975 tons, of 2,0n0 pounds each: primary speltrr (zinc) 286.526 tons, of 2,00O pounds each. The values represented by fhc last three may readily be computed by taking an average price for the year of i2 i-2 i0 i3I rents for copper. of i.f5 crnis per pound for lead. and of 5.8i rcnis per pound for spcllcr.
 This iS all absolutely new wealth, never before in circula- ton. and represents a far great rr sum than was expended in mining operations: as is proven by tho report covering dividends for the year, of corporations in which the public is more or less interested, leaving out of consid- crafion inc profits earned by in dividualS and associations of which nothing is heard among those not personally acquainted with the propositions.
 Dividends last year amounted nearly bo S85. .OOO, O,OOO. paid by mining corporations. reduction works Or securities holding com nanicS dependent directly upon inc mining industry for profits. This record. will in all probability hr cvcn grcatcr this year as up io tho present time close i6 S6i,- 100000 has already been distrib- ntcd, With many large disbursc- mcnis yet duo. as well as month- ly and quarterly payments from smaller concerns scattered throughout the country.
 These profits represent an approximate return 10 date of iiO per cent. for inc mining compan- ics and of 70 per cent. for the securities holding companies.

Editorial Comment
Champ cIark's "Daws.'
Washington Times.)


Champ Clark's houn' dawg is yell
ow."-New York World.
We shall not attempt to divide
honors with that vigorous exponent
of Democracy by hazarding chro-
matte analysis of the Baltimore situa-
ton. Rather let us confine ourselves
to the discussion of the anatomy of
the animal that is causing such a
furore in the ranks of the unwashed
and unterrifed.
After diligently watching the houn'
dawg wend its way in and out the
hotel Hobbies. and up and down the
aisles of the armory we are greatly
astonished to find ii a lineal descend
ant of our old friend, "Entomologist."
"Entomologist' was daehshund
immortalized by its owner, Bill
Nye." 1t was SO constructed that
when Nye saw it passing his study
window he had to wait for hours un-
til its head or tail appeared, in order
that he might know in which direction
it was going.
Champ Clark has taken liberties
with its pedigree to classify it as a
houn' dawg, but what's in a name so
long as the characteristics remain un-
tainted.

Our Primary.
(Eastport Citizeno.

tf1dSlpOft tltIZen-)
Maine has now had its first expert
enee with the primary system of MAX
Ing party nominations, and the results
are, we believe, very satisfactory The
new way is not perfect of course. but
1t is step in the right direction, and
We will improve it as we go along.
The first cause of congratulation is
the large number of those who voted.
About sixty per cent. of the normal
Republican vote was cast, and it is
safe to say that never, under the old
convention system. have the candi-
dates chosen so closely represented the
wishes of the party at large.
Second. the small number of spoiled
ballots speaks extremely we'll for the
new law. The primary ballot is even
simpler than that used in the regular
election and sicplicity is always desir-
able in such matters as an an aid to
accuracy. The Maine ballot compares
rather well in this particular with
that in use in New York, where 1t was
in some cases nearly fifteen feet in
length. and about as hard to see into
as Browning poem or an article in
the Machias Union.
Lastly. it justified itself in the ex-
cellence of the candidates who have
been nominated by it's means Haines
for governor, Burleigh for senator,
and Guernsey for the House, are men
whom we can support with loyalty
and enthusiasm. 1t is one of the
strongest arguments for the primary
system that the best man usually
wins, and SO it proved in the recent
test. Our county ticket too, is good
from the standpoint both of personal
service and experience, and sup
port of all Washington County
Republicans. There are some of us
perhaps. who were disappointed at
the result of the contests. but we
can't all have our way, and there is
some satisfaction in knowing that the
contests were fought in the open,
| fairly. and with none of the recrimina :
| ton that has marked similar contests
| in the local Democratic party. The
| losers are accepting defeat in a sports
manlike manner. and will do their best
| to see the full ticket elected in Septem-
| Der.
