A Maine sheriff might ind a barrel OF

Of this State are rejoicing now.
For the tabloid booze drummer has
come to Maine. and is doing a rushing
business In condensed drinks Of allkinds,
from plain whisky to cocktails. and from
beer to gin fzzes. The drummer carries
considerable stock of the tablets with
him for immediate demands. and ar
ranges for further and unlimited supplies
by mail. Many bars in Bangor. Lewis
ton. and Portland are selling tabloid
drinks today. while great many men
who Just must have their whisky or beer
when they want II have obtained their
own supplies. and make their liquor at
home while they wait-and the wait Is
not long. Nobody here knows anything
about the constituent elements Of the
tablets, but nobody cares so long as they
produce something that looks and tastes
like liquor.
The tablets come In little paper boxes
or glass bottles OF a dozen each, and the
price varies A small vial Of one kind

Nowadays, one fight'a week Is the aver

THE POLITICAL SITUATION

Woodrow Wilson is learning that
the Presidency is not bed of roses.
Experiences are crowding fast upon
him. They are not altogether pleasant.
1t does not lessen the endorsements
which surround him to know that they
are not of his own creation. He did
not initiate the legislation i'll the SUM-
dry civil bill. which was presented to
him for his signature, nor was he cog
INFANT OF the efforts of his Cabinet
officers to delay the wheels of justice
in the Caminetti case. In both in
stances, however, he was compelled to
meet a situation which has excited not
only criticism, but, IT the latter case,
universal indignation.
Somebody once said wisely that an
administration is no stronger than its
Cabinet. There is no doubt that Cab
met can make or mar an administration.
1t would seem as if it were not diff
cult to select nine or ten men whose
wisdom, experience, Judgment, and tact
would prevent them from committing
serious error. On the contrary, the
Presidents who have not been ham,
pered or harassed by some member
of their Cabinet are the exception
rather than the rule. In the Taft
regime Secretary Ballinger was the
thorn in the side of the administra-
ton, while Secretary Wilson's course
in the Department of Agriculture led
to much embarrassment. President
Roosevelt had his troubles with At
torney General Bonaparte. while there
was much criticism of the blanket of
whitewash which he was compelled to
throw around Paul Morton. President
Mckinley had to bear the burden of
the embalmed beef scandal, which in
VOWED Secretary Alger, and, to go
back still farther. the impeachment
proceedings against Secretary Belknap
gave an unpleasant notoriety to Grants
administration.
Nevertheless, the mistakes and mis-
doings of Cabinet officers injure the
President because it is instantly as
serted that he should have exercised
more wisdom in selection. In nine
cases out of ten, rather than admit
that d mistake has been made, Presi-
dent will stand by the Cabinet officer.
He feels that he has asked his adviser
10 give up business affairs and become
one of his official family. He hates to
sever the tie thus created by his own
action and rarely demands the Cabinet
officers resignation. President Taft
was especially tender in this regard.
If he had been a politician pure and
simple and mindful only of his own
future, he would have promptly placed
Secretary Ballinger outside the pale.
1t had to be done finally, but the delay
operated against the President in the
public mind. In the present instance,
President Wilson has shown the same
loyalty toward the Attorney General.
The latter has been given a certificate
of confidence. even though the course
which he had taken was reversed. He
is retained as one of the Presidents
counselors, although eventually the peo-
pie will take it upon themselves to de-
eide whether the President was actu-
ated more by friendship than by wis
dom in not uttering an apparently de-
served rebuke

New Political Era.
Political campaigns are more and
more likely to be fought upon new
lines. Questions of human welfare,
which twenty years ago were utterly
unconsidered, are now vital political
factors. The entire country has under
gone change. The so-called muck
rakers laid the foundation of the new
era. They exposed graft and dishon-
esty in high places; they revealed the
odious details of the white slave trait
nc; they demanded higher ideals IN
government. Their motives may not
have been of the highest character.
There is a suspicion that the love OF
sensationalism was as keen as their
patriotism. At the same time they ac-
complished,a revolution, and Theodore
Roosevelt, with his political sagacity,
undertook to profit by the drift of
things. Ii is this new state of the
public mind which gives to each de-
tail of the Caminetti ease an impor-
lance which, under old conditions, it
would not have attained.
