ed. Superintendent Young had observed
tendencies that woefully demanded
correction, and the protesting parents
were just as earnestly convinced that

Present day American boys ard girls
have vigorous and independent minds

parents that their home instruction"
settles matters? That parlor lecture or

and the streets? And how about the

All the time that this controversy is
going back and forth the clincbing ar

being cried in agonies: sons and daugh-

heaped in sacrifice upon the altar of
prudery. The sob of mother whose

argument for sex education that defies

Juice instead of wine. And yet he in
forms the American people that he cam

own statement, he has been accumulate

The Primary Vote.

The story is soon told--a small vote
and haying interfering with the
primaries in rural districts. Hon. John
A. Peters of Ellsworth, will carry The
Republican banner. and Hon. William
r. Pattangall the Democratic. Little
effort was made on the part of Re-
publican committees to get out the
= vote or to interfere with the inclina-
tien of the voters. Mr.. Pattangall
with characteristic foresight had
placed his endeavor in the cities and
larger towns. obviously counting on
small rural. vote
A striking feature of the balloting
was the number of spoiled ballots. The
first town to report to the Kennebec
Journal gave one. vote for Lawrence.
Even in the cities many defective bal
lots showed determination on the
part of voters to express personal
feeling in defiance of plain instruc-
lions on the ballot. In some towns
Is per cent of the ballots were defec-
tive.
The sharp contest between Pattan-
gall and Gould for the Democratic
nomination got out a larger proper
ton of the vote than the Republican
showing. although not so large as ex-
pected Republican assurance that
Mr.. Peters would be the nominee ac
counted for the small vote. Mr. Pet
ers' vote was about three to one to
that of Haines. Mr.. Pattangall had
about 1900 or 100 more votes in the
district than Gould.
The contest from now to election
day is between Peters and Pattan-
gall 1t is now for the voters of the
Third Congressional district to decide
whether they prefer to be represented
by man who stands for protection
for Maine Industries and farming in
terests, and steadfast moral and civic
progress. or by a man standing for
those things for which Mr.. Pattangall
is VIGOROUSLY placed.

vices to the public an average of IS. go
600 day; it cost to run their trains
and for other expenses of operation s.,
10000 day: their taxes were s341. 500 a
day; their operating income $1,9T2.322 a
day for the go S97 miles of line report
ing or at the rate of $3.50 for each
mile of line for each day. Thus for
every six dollars of their earnings
which remained available for rentals,
interest on bonds. appropriations for
betterments. improvements and new
construction, and for dividends, The
railways had to pay more than one dol
lar in taxes.
All of these amounts are substantial
ly greater than the similar returns fol
May, 1912. They are from the summary
of the earnings and expenses compiled
by the Bureau of Railway Economics
from the monthly reports of the steam
railways of the United States to the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
They include over 50 per cent. of the
mileage and earnings of all of the
railways of the country.
