Democracy Fears Publicity.

The Democratic majority, unable to
keep a quorum in the House, has been
drifting along for weeks and weeks
apparently satisfied with it's inability
to do bushes. AS soon as the prima-
ries are over in the southern States
and just as the Maine campaign is on
the point Of entering its final whirl-
wind stage, the Democratic majority
suddenly decides that it must have a
quorum and makes ruling that alb
sences shall be penalized by a fine of
$21 a day. Such a ruling has not been
made for 20 years: not since the Cleve-
land administration was forced to
make a similar ruling.
Many Republican congressman were
coming to Maine to give to Maine cit
liens the message they are anxious to
hear, the story of just what has been
and is being done by the Democratic
majority. Democratic congressman
were to come also to tell their side of
the story. Suddenly panic seizes upon
that Democratic majority-and with
good reason-and it forces a ruling that
will hold nearly all the congressman
who were to come to Maine. The State
OF Maine is to have its election in
September and the result of the cleo
ton will effect the elections in all
November States. It is an old politi-
cal tradition that LAS Maine Goes, So
Goes The Union The Democratic
majority knew, that, should a number
OF Republican congressman come to
Maine and tell the truth about De-
mocracy and the present administra-
ton, Maine voters would swamp with
their Republican ballots Curtis. the
four Democratic congressional nomi-
nees. and especially flood deem into
private life Dan McGillicuddy. It
would avail nothing for the Democra-
cy to send to Maine group of south
ern Democrats to try to defend the in
defensible Democratic outrages upon
the prosperity of the country and es-
pecially upon the North. There is
small wonder that the Democratic ma
5ortty has placed a restraint upon
the campaigners in Congress.
But Maine will receive the message
just the same. The fear of the Demo-
cratic majority to allow Republican
congressman to come to Maine will
in itself prove to Maine voters that
Democracy acknowledges it has wrong
ed the country and is due for a beat
ing because of its unpatriotic stand.
The Democratic majority has spoken
loudly by this action; it says to Maine:
We acknowledge that we are beaten
in Maine. We have no defense and
will not make an effort to defend our
ourselves. The best We can do is to
hold your Republican campaigners
here. hoping to cut down your ma
jority when Haines and his good gov
eminent administration are re-elect-

carrying $4,000. 900 in gold and silver has
been intercepted by four British cruisers
They are said to be escorting her to

1t is understood here that the Kron-

owners to proceed to Hamburg without
calling at any British port.
With the big German liner and her
great cargo of gold In their charge the
British cruiser could capture her in

New Bedford Standard.)
American public opinion, expressing
itself through the United States army
of occupation at Vera Cruz, prohibited
bull fights as brutal and degrading.
The same public opinion apparently
views with the utmost complacence
the automobile races which, We fancy,
result in more deaths by violence than
do the bull fights.
The race at Elgin, in which Spencer
Wishart was killed, reminds one of
nothing more than Of that familiar
painting of the Roman chariot race
in which horses and riders are being
hurled to death for the entertainment
of the Roman populaoe. The Ameri-
can people are not cruel, yet it is
fact that they like. to be thrilled, and
the craving for sensation does not
seem to be sobered by tragedies like
that at Elgin Saturday
Into the judgment and devotion of
a man two months married who
courts death in this way it is not
our purpose to inquire. The most
charitable point of view is that here
was man whose trade was auto
mobile racing, who knew that the
spectators demand to be thrilled. and
who tried to fill the demand by reck-
less driving There is, one feels
strongly, a public responsibility for
such tragedies as well as that which
rests on the drivers.
We doubt whether there is any
justification for auto racing. In the
beginning. it was an advertising
project promoted by the manufac-
turers Of automobiles. It's value in
that respect is denied by many makers
who never enter cars, but the sport"
goes on. Speed contests like these
add nothing to the mechanical per-
lection Of the motor vehicle, as they
may have done when the automobile
was in its infancy. From the point
Of view Of public amusement, auto
racing has no better standing than
bull fights or prize fights or any num-
Der of So called sports which the pub
lie conscience will not tolerate 1t is
only a question Of time, we believe,
when it will be stopped
