The Vote of Maine.

Considering the recent vote by parties
we find that the Republicans have gain.
ed SO per cent as compared with 1910
and the Democrats have lost a little
more than rs per cent. The latter
have fallen back nearly to their 1905
vote, but the Republicans have not re.
gained their standing of that year.
This is attributable to various causes,
but one thing that sticks out very promi.
nently is the fact that with straight
lines drawn the Democrats still lack
much of being the plurality party and
depend on Republican help for whatever
temporary power they enjoy. And they
had every inducement and every stimu-
lus this year Of all years to get their last
man to the polls. Portland Press.

under any circumstances, prefering to

specter of the sea is said to appear only
IN the calm preceding great storm, with

Al St. Pierre they tell of a smack on

of the pnanlog ship, but scoffed at it,
and when they saw her loom up in the

swept down upon them, and in the space

them and was racing maaly astern in the
direction of Dead Mans Cove.
A fishing schooner from Magdalen
Island, warned by the thickening sky of
an approaching storm, put in at the cove
to ride out the gale, Before it reached
an anchorage a ship was seen coming
rapidly behind, also heading for the

from the place as fast as he could. Old

Washington Whisperin2s.
OF NEW YORK.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 16, 1912
There is nothing to. submit to- arb
tratiou in the Panama Canal matter,
was thu forcefui way in which ''Uacle
joe Cannon, EX-Speaker of the House
of Representa- tives, characterized the
situation growing out of the recent canal
legislation, previous to leaving for his
home IN Danville, H., where he will
begin his campaign for re. election to the
Sixty third Congress.
''AIl this talk about submitting the
section Of the Panama Canal bill, which
does not happen to please our British
cousins, to the Hague tribunal, is all
buncombe," continued the old wheel
horse Of republcanism.
IF the canal had been built by the
money Of foreign nations, including our
proportion Of the obligation, arbitration
Of controverted questions would undoubt-
eddy have been the proper procedure, but
as the canal has been built by our own
money, upon our own soil, as much ours
as the District Of Columbia is ours, this
talk Of serding the questions in contro-
Qersy to the Hague for final adjudication
is the rankest nonsense. The days of
altruism have not yet dawned, nor will
they as long as we have to fight the
nations of the world for commercial
supremacy.
The English are doing for their ships
that pass though the Suez Canal just as
we propose to do for ours. The govern
ment of Great Britain RENTS the toll on
British ships locking through the Suez
We propose to reach the same result in
another way 50 far as the Panama Canal
is concerned, by giving free passage to
our ships engaged in coastwise trade,
instead of RENTING the tax, as England,
Germany and France do for their ships
using the Suez Canal The result is the
same in both cases. Having nothing to
arbitrate it is to be hoped the State De-
partment will so inform the government
of Great Britain in a manner that will
Forever put a stop to the claims that
We are violating the Hay Pauncefote
treaty."

Crackers and Volunteers Clash Another DoubIe-Header
ATKINS AND SITTON WILL DO HURL|NG TO-DAY

ATASHVILLE, TENN, June IS
" Atkins and Sitton will do the
hurting for the Crackers in
the double header scheduled here
today. and as both are in tip top
condition. Manager Charley Hemp
hill is confident of winning both
battles.
Charley Hemphill alleged that he
was working his sore arm" bri-
gade in the pitchers box yester-
day. He has been announcing that
Russell and Brady weren't very
we'll He claimed that their arms
were sore.
After seeing Hemphill's two In
valids work, local fans are of the
opinion that, if the rest of the
Cracker hurlers are feeling even
tolerably well. the Atlanta team will
not lose another game this year.
And as for today's double header
well they have already kissed
that good bye.
The revivified Atlanta lineup
looked a hummer yesterday. Har-
bison, the new infielder from Spar
tanburg in-the- bushes, bait e d
most Economically, and his five hits
were of the ringing, singing varie-
ty. He fielded we'll in the first
game. but in the second his two err
rors came in the same inning How
ever, he took chances and seemed
to know how to handle himself.
Lefty Russell, who made the
proverbial March hare look tame
as WEIGH rarebit the first time
he worked for Atlanta pitched a
phenomenal game yesterday In
eleven innings of bitter struggle
he gave up only four hits, walked
but one man and made a wild pitch
If Lefty" can keep anything like
this clip for the remainder of the
season he will win more games
than ever a pitcher did before in
