Accidents will happen in the best

such cases n has to act with prompt

great antidote to carbolic-acid poison

Readers will be glad to know that
common cider vinegar is equally good,

may be applied pure, and will quickly

FISHING LICENSES.

tFrom the Londonderry Sfter)
The Londonderry Sitter thinks that the
idea of 5o-cent fishing license looks like
a ca so OF wiRgling about for some means
Of meeting the expenses OF the State fish
and game department. and believes In
cutting down expenses rather than devils
ing ways and means OF raising money.
But why should tho SITTER care If the
fishermen themselves are willing to bear
the cost Of improving the streams?"-

But suppose the license fees did not
cover the cost Of maintaining the county
stations desired by the Reformer, then
who foots the bills? Why the State OF
Vermont. of course. And that's the fly in
the ointment Besides, what assurance
have we that tho fishermen themselves
are willing to be taxed, for the privilege
OF dropping a hook into a stream now and
then? Furthermore. where could the line
be drawn concerning fishing licenses?
Should the sx-year-od boy with his
twinc string and bent pin be taxed the
same as the expect fisherman equipped
with all tho latest fishing devices: II not.
where should the lire be drawn? Would
the person who desires to catch only
dace, sinners, and other sood-for-nothing
varieties be taxed tho same as he who
goes after a mess OF trout, pickerel or
bass? II not how can the line be drawn
between trout fishing and dace fishing
for while trying for the one species the
fisherman might hook the other kind.

er's plan In full concerning this ma tier.

LESSONS OF THE MAINE ELHOITON

LESSONS OF THE MAINE EIDOlION.
The result Of the election in Maine to
III the vacancy in the third congressional
district, in which the republicans won
after a spirited contest, is to be viewed
from various standpoints,
In the first place, we may find a signif-
cant sign of the times in the extremely
narrow margin by which the Hon. John
A. Peters was elected as compared with
the result when this same district form
erly returned to Congress the Hon. James
G. Blaine Names "Plumed Knight" by
majorities Of large proportions. as indi-
cative OF changed political sentiment.
In the second place. the result may be
considered as an index OF public opinion
regarding national issues which figured
largely in the contest, both Secretary Of
State Bryan and Speaker Champ Clark
having staked the influence of the ma
tional administration and the democratic
national organization on the result by
taking an active part In the speaking
campaign
In the third place. people will study

If we consider the result in 1912 as
GENERAL mandate to the party now IN
power to smash the tariff, for example
then we shall look in vain to the Maine
verdict for any indication that the people
have changed their minds in this direc-
ton On the contrary, the democrats
have reason for announcement In the
fact that there was no slump worthy OF
notice in their vote in an of-year as
compared with the vote OF the district In
the national election.
Strangely enough the republicans can
also find ground for marked satisfaction
in this election. They not only held the
district but they showed a gain of over
100 per cent. in their vote, Peters having
received If. 1O6 as compared with 71b9 for
Taft, who was vigorously opposed on ac-
count Of his support of reciprocity With
Canada
On the other hand, republicans must
face the fact that the progressves still
have strength enough to throw both a
national election as well as a congress
sional contest In doubt, even II not strong
enough to elect their own candidates, and
progressives may find grain Of com
fort In tho fact that IN spite of un-
toward conditions they were still able
to cast a vote CT over 5000 IN this dis
trict-

was one of tho strongest Roosevelt

cate that the Progressive party is hold

ton shows loss Of about so per cent.

the progressive candidate for Congress,
having been 8,4S against 1896 for the
progressive ticket last November. The
same loss throughout the country will
mean tho disintegration of the part.
The republicans on the other hand
gained what the progressives lost, the
combined vote being about 10000 as in No
vember. In other words, sufficien,

temporary party allegiance and returned
