The Way the Wind Blows.

The New York Sun, Independent,
from careful canvass of the country,
comes to the conclusion that the
strength of the republican party is in
creasing rapidly. Here are some OF
the facts presented:
In New Jersey, the progressive
vote fell from 145, 410 for Roosevelt in
1912 to Al, 1872 for governor this year,
while the republican vote rose from
1885 for Taft in 1912 to lac, 2ss for
the republican candidate for governor
this year.
In Pennsylvania the recent progress
sive registration shows falling off OF
from go to so per cent. In Philadel.
phia over 100000 republicans reg.
istered, while the progressive regis
rration was $4,000.
In recent vote for United States
Senator in Maryland, the republican
candidate received $4,000 votes to
1908 for the progressive candidate
Roosevelt carried Maryland in 1912.
In California 70, 600 republicans have
enrolled to 5000 progressives. Cali
fornia, Governor Johnson's state, was
one of the strongest progressive
states in 1912.
In special election in the second
Congressional district of Iowa, the
renubIinan candidate had IN 60Q vntau
to 3,71s for the progressive. Roose-
welt had 10, SOP votes in this district to
5000 for Taft.
Throughout the country" says the
Sun, sit is the same story. The re-
publicans have made great gains, the
progressives show great decrease"
All of which leads US to remark:
Peters can win; Thompson can't.

Gland of The Pilgrims Pride"

Gland of The Pilgrims Pride"
The puerile foreign policy of this
administration, as evidenced from the
very outset in it's dealings with the
Mexican situation, as well as in the
canal tolls matter, has cos. this
country prestige which it will require
years to recover. The object of ridi-
cule by foreign nations, played with
by Huerta, the nation suffers the
further humiliation of having its own
citizens, returned refugees from
Mexico, salute with cheers the British
flag and greet with groans the name
of our secretary of state.
These refugees, barely escaped with
their lives, knowing at first hand the
ATROCITIES committed upon Americans
in Mexico, safe at last under the
American flag, might naturally be
expected to greet the stars and stripes
with cheers and tears, but instead
they do honor to foreign flag, and
that in the very shadow of the CAPT
toll at Washington.
When, three weeks ago, the Presi-
dent, after months of futile watchful
waiting, was forced to action in spite
of himself, loyal Americans of all
parties rallied to his support. But,
on the very threshold of accomplish
ment, he turned back, agreeing with
unbecoming eagerness to mediation
plan from which the most sanguine
expect nothing, and again we relapse
to the watchful waiting policy. Wait
ing for what? Someone else to settle
our difficulties with Huerta.
1t is pitiable! 1t would be laugh
able, if the matter were not too serious
for laughter. If it were purely mat
ter of politics, it would be matter of
rejoicing for republicans, for it is be-
yond belief that after so deplorable
demonstration of inefficiency, the
voters of this country will return
democratic administration.
The most partisan of the democratic
papers have been hard put to it to
offer arguments in defence of the ad-
ministration, while some have given
it up entirely, and if not studiously
evading discussion of the Mexican
situation, openly criticise the ad-
ministration.

Vote at the Primaries.

1t is hoped that "the people'' will
awaken to the Importance of voting
at the primaries. Get away from
this prejudice against declaring your
self for this or that party. You must
have some political preference; enroll
yourself under some flag and take a
hand in affairs. This is your oppor-
tunity to say who shall represent you
when you line up against the enemy
in September.
We are talking especially to "the
people,, you who are primarily
responsible for the primary law. You
are the men who revolted against the
convention system controlled by poll
ticians, and now, very largely, are
those who refuse to accept the oppor-

UNIQUE SITUATION.
Isle au Haut viii Vote in Old Glass
for Representative.

Isle au Haul Will Vote in Old Glass
for Representative.
A unique situation is found to exist in
the town of Isle au Haul as regards to
whom the voters of that island will cast
their ballots for legislature.
The last legislature passed an act taking
away Isle au Haut from the county of
Hancock and annexing it to the county of
Knox. AS the legislative apportionment
was made in 1911, the question arose as to
what Legislative class district isle au Haut
was part. In the election of 1912, Joseph
c. Harmon, of Stonington, was the demo-
cratic candidate for the legislature from
that class district, and was elected, but
there is no authority which places Isle au
Haut in class district in Knox county.
According to the last census, Isle au
Haul had population of 100. In the State
election two years ago eight republican
votes and twenty democratic votes
were cast, while in the last presidential
election three republicans and twenty
democratic votes were thrown.
Under the decision of Hon. Harold III.
Murchie, of Augusta, assistant attorney
general, the voters OF Isle au Haut will
vote for the candidate for the legislature
from the same class district as before the
island was taken away from the county of
Hancock, and will so continue to vote I'M
til a new apportionment is made. In
other words, the inha bitants of Isle au
Haul will vote for a resident of Hancock
county for representative to the legisla-
ture, and for residents of Knox county for
State senators and county officers.

There can be no revival of business.

There can be no revival of business,
no return of prosperity, until saner
spirit prevails among our people and
our politicians. The country is stag
gering along a hard road, trying its
best to bear the burden of blunder,
but the turn in the road will be
reached and the burden will be light
ened.. That turn will be reversal of
present national policies, the repeal
of destructive legislation and the re-
enactment of laws to encourage in
dustry, to promote the general wei
fare and advance the interests of the
United States on land and on the sea.

Names Finances.

A recent bulletin of the government
census bureau on the subject of
State debts has brought Maine into
the limelight for the excellent show
ing made by Gov. Haines' admins
tration. Names bonded debt, ac-
cording to this bulletin, is 81, 255, 900,
but the bulletin does not state that
81, 1854, 900 of this is in trust funds, de-
posted with the State for a special
purpose, and is not debt in the
meaning of the term. This leaves the
real bonded Indebtedness of Maine at
present less than $1,000.
The Boston Herald, commenting on
Names excellent showing, says:
There is provision of law that allows the
State government to obtain 100000 as tenn
porary loan any year when it is needed, and
generally in the past it has been necessary to
obtain at least part of this sum. On SO BUSH
nesslike basis, however, have thing been
under the administration of Governor Haines,
that not a cent was borrowed as a temporary
loan in 1918, nor will there be occasion to bor-
row a cent this year. On the contrary, there
has been constantly on hand for months past
100000 in cash in the treasury to meet the
bills as they came in. For the first time the
State has established the custom of discount
ing every bill. as business man of gooare-
sources would do. This means a large saving
in all the State departments and at all the
State institutions. This record is one of the
assets of the Haines administration the
governor goes before the people for a second
term.

There seems to be general salts
faction over the construction of the
new primary law by the attorney
general to the effect that the coun-
ty commissioners must be nominal
ed as well as elected by the people
of the whole county and not as
heretofore nominated by district.
Each district must have a represen-
tatiye on the boatc, but the people
of that district alone will not be
permitted TO nominate him. The
new way is plainly the better. for
by it each commissioner is indebted
TO the whole county for his nomina-
tion and not to his neighbors of the
district in which he resides, and
thus he represents no special local
ity or interest and must serve all
the districts impartially.
