The Governor Laughs.
Columbia, May "a. - Governor
Cole l.. Blease, on whom the dicta-
graph was first sprung In the South,
and by strange coincidence through
the instrumentality OF Thos. b. Eel
der, feels that his time has come, and
recent events are pointed to by him
as his complete vindication.
He that putteth. on the sword,
by the sword he shall perlsh'--or
words to that effects my Biblical
authority for the paraDhrase that 'he
who uses the dictagraph against an
other and fails to prove anything by

identical sleuth hound turned loose
by FIELDER on me to injure me among

criminal and madman. He was the
man chosen by Fielder to wreck me,
and now he turns up by wrecking
Fielder, and the Strangest part OF the
whole thing Ia that Fielder, now I'm
his own defense, is forced to the der
nier resort OF proving that the man
he sent to get evidence against me
Is too contemplate to be worthy OF
either confidence or belief. My own
vindication, therefore, comes from
Fielder himself. Who would have

Do We Wish to Live Like Japs?

Reports show that Japan is still
coming as textile nation, writes
Uncle Ike She is constantly ex-
panding, building new mills, buying
modern machinery and training her
naturally skilled workers in the art
and science of producing more and
ed to China alone 12,503,2S5 yards Of
cloth known as prints; she exported

pieces of gray sheetings; 30.499 plain,
gray pieces cloth. and 1022S7, ,2SS
pounds of cotton yarn.
Of course under normal conditions
there is bound to come an enormous
increase in the demand for cotton
textiles in the Far East. and this may
for while prevent Japan from ex .
porting her goods to our Pacific
coast However. it is after all only a
question of time. and tariff reduction,
before Japan will knock at the doors
of San Francisco and other coast
cities and when she brings ship loads
of cotton yarn and cloth, that VIII
mean Just so many less ship loads OF
yarn and cloth to be produced in our
own mills.
With an average wage of 20 cents a
day and with three great trans
Pacific steamship lines plying across
the seas, Japan has tremendous
advantage over all white nations and
the only way to prevent competition
is to maintain tariff high enough to
shut her goods out of the markets of
America.

Editorial Comment
Printing False News.
portland Press.)

The Lewiston Journal OF last eve
ming contained an alleged news item
which purported to have come from
Waterville making the untrue
statement that Senators Borah and
Cummins had refused to come to
Maine to speak in behalf of the Re-
publican cause in the Third district,
because after investigation they had
found that Mr.. Peters, the Republican
candidate, represented the reactionary
wing of the Republican party.
Not only is this false statement
printed in the news columns of the
Journal. but that paper also contains
editorial comment on it.
The fact is that Senators Borah and
Cummins have not only expressed d
Willingness, but a desire to come to
Maine to speak in behalf of the can
didacy of Mr.. Peters. They expected
to come, this week, and would haze
come had it not been that thcs-t.sfiif
bill was approaching it's concluding
stages and the presence of thesei SEN
ators who have the interest of their
own states to look after. was required
on the floor of the Senate, every min
ute that that body was in session.
They both endorse the candidacy of
Mr.. Peters and they both express the
belief that the cause of Progressive
Republicanism demands his election.
This is shown by kilograms received,
yesterday from the two senators
which are printed on another page OF
the Press.
We will not undertake to say tina,
the Lewiston Journal knew why these
two Progressive senators were not
coming to Maine, but it is certain that
the statement which that paper pub
lished giving the reason it did for
their not coming was pure assumption
on its part without any basis OF
facts. To put it bluntly, it fabricated
an alleged news item with no other
purpose in view than to bolster up a
losing cause by deceiving its readers.
This is method of campaigning
that has not been unknown in the
Lewiston journal office on previous
| occasions and perhaps explains why
that paper has lost almost entirely the
great influence it once lad as politi.
cal advocate.
While 1t is not true that Senators
Borah and Cummins are not comins
to Maine because they disapprove OF
Mr.. Peters record as "a public man, il
is fact that ever since it becam,
known that there was a likelihood tina
| they would come, they have beer
| overwhelmed with letters and tele
grams emanating from the Lewiston
Journal office and similar sources
making the charge that Mr.. Peter
was reactionary of the worst type
and unworthy the support or th'
Progressive element in the Republican
| party. This utterly false accusation
was repeatedly made and it did maxi
an impression on the two senator
who were ignorant of the unreliabilit! {!
of those who were making the charges
