A Democratic spellbinder.
Washington Star.

Washington Star.l
viii the result OF the New York primary
change Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign plansf
1t was stated only few weeks ago that
he would devote the greater part of Octo-
Der to stamping New York for the bull
| moose ticket. At that time the bull
moosers were making big claims, and in.
timating that with Mr.. Roosevelt appeal
ing for votes they would make formid-
able showing on election day.
But what can even Mr.. Roosevelt dc
| for such a candidate as Mr.. Davenport,
who in the primary was unable to do any
thing for himself His nomination re-
presents SO small an interest in his candi-
dacy, those who do not regard it as pa
thetic rate it as ridiculous.
Still, il Mr.. Roosevelt cannot carry his
man to victory at home, where can he
hope to succeed9 1t he cancels his speak
ing dates in New York, or even q portion
of them, wha. states will he visit9
In Pennsylvania the bull moose candi-
date for governor has been withdrawn in
favor of the democratic candidate. There
was no hope in the Keystone state, and
the bull moosers did not want to stand
up and be counted. True, Mr.. Pinchot's
candidacy for the Senate stands, but that
is confessedly of no consequence.
In Illinois, where MIR. Roosevelt has just
been, and in Indiana. where he spent a
few day, bull moosery is languishing. "A
return engagement" would do his party
no good.
He has sidestepped Kentucky, to which
state he was invited. At recent state
wide primary there the bull moosers polIed
less than four thousand votes-a remark
able shrinking as compared with the re-
turns of two years ago.
Mr.. Roosevelt has some friends in Mary
land, but they are not numerous. Nor
can he hope to increase their number be-
fore election day.
With bull moosery in this shape, what
is Mr.. Roosevelt in this campaign but a
democratic spellbinder? What can be
accomplish but something in the democ-
racy's favor? In New York he is playing
into Murphy's hand, in Indiana into Tag
CARTS, in Illinois into Roger Sullivan's,
and in Pennsylvania into William Flinn's.
And yet, il we may believe his profess
sions, he abhors bosses. His principal OBJ
ject in politics now is to drive the bosses
out.
Be they few or many, wherever the bull
moosers respond to Mr.. Roosevelt's lead
ership they continue the divisions through
which the democrats are expecting to
march to another victory.

The United States department of
agriculture estimates this years crop
of potatoes in Maine as 20, 200, 900, an
increase OF more than a million
bushels over last years crop. This is
more than twice the estimated total
potato production of the other five
New England states, and about one
thirteenth of the total estimated po-
tato crop of the United States. Maine
will also, according to the same au-
thority, produce over 5000, 900 bushels
of apples two thirds as much as all
the other New England states), and
she also leads her sister states in pro-
duction of hay, oats and wheat. Let's
brag little about farming in Maine.

DR.. g. @. Morrison, of Bar Harbor,
is candidate for member of the
governors council from this district.
DR.. Morrison is q republican, and of
the fight-to-the-last type. 1t is by
no means certain that the democrats
will control the legislature on joint
ballot at organization. On the face
of the returns, they apparently have
a majority of one, but this is too close
not to permit of the element of chance
being taken into consideration. Alb
sence of one or two democratic mem
bers from one cause or another may
throw the balance of power to the re-
publicans. True, the absentees may
be from the republican side, but we
are talking now of possibilities.
Should the republicans have control,
DIR. Morrison, who has already served
one term, being on Governor Fer
maids council in 1909-10, is entitled
by party usage TO second term, and
naturally expects the support OF his
party. DR.. Morrison represented his
class in the legislature in 1908 and
1905.

Our Diplomatic Service.


Our diplomatic representatives in Europe
have won the respect of the world by the
able manner in which they have been dis
charging their duties since the outbreak
OF the war. In addition to caring for our
own citizens, OF whom it is estimated there
were at least 10000 in Europe when war
was declared, our ambassadors have had
the affairs Of many countries temporarily
placed in their hands. For example Am
bassador Walter Hines Page and his stan
have not only cared for many thousands
of American citizens who FASTENED to
England when hostilities begun, but into
their hands have also been placed the in
terests Of all the nations with whom Eng
land is at war. The same is true in
France, Germany, Austria, Belgium,
Japan, Servia, and Russia.
There were in Europe many Americans
who had served this country in diplomatic
capacities in the past, and these were
called upon to volunteer to assist the over
worked embassy STATS everywhere. The
work these volunteers have been doing
has been invaluable. Many of them have
sacrificed their own interests to aid their
country in this critical time, and the ma
tion owes them debt of gratitude.
For example, Chandler Hale, who had
served as secretary in several embassies,
was en- his way home with his family
when be found that the American en-
bassy in London was in need OF expert
enced help. He was asked to attach
himself to the embassy and assume charge
of the affairs of Austria in Great Britain,
that nation having turned its embassy
over to the United States at the outbreak
of the war.
Mr.. Hale has had no easy task. There
were thousands of Austrians in Great
Britain who appealed to their embassy in
their distress. Over 1000 OF these have
greater number of these people had lost
their employment, were without means,
and naturally have been subjected to much
annoyance and suspicion. The energetic
manner in which Mr.. Hale has handled
a most difficult task has won him the COM
mendation not only of our own ambassa-
dor, but of the London Foreign Office as
well.
Recently Mr.. Hale opened q restaurant
where the 1000 Austrians needing help
could be fed, and he has found lodgings
for them and protected them as he would
his own fellow citizens. Similar things
have been done in every European capital
by American volunteers, and it is no ex-
aggerstion to say that never in the history
OF diplomacy has any country been better
or more loyalty served than has the United
States during this crisis in the worlds
affairs.

An important happening in the re-
ligious world of Maine was the vote
of the Maine Free Baptists and Bap-
lists, at their conventions in Lewiston
and Auburn last week, to unite under
the name of the Maine United Baptist
convention. Eventually the business
and charitable interests of the two
branches will be merged. The move
ment is in line with the spirit of toler-
ance and unity which is growing in
the Christian church to-day.

Germany officially acknowledges
losses in men during the war of $780,
600 in killed, wounded and missing, a
greater part of the latter, of course,
being killed. The losses are gener-
ally believed to be much greater than
admitted. Figuring from this, the
losses of all armies engaged in the
war is estimated at close to one
million men. And this is only part OF
the enormous price.

The announcement that Postmaster
General Burleson favors change in
the rural delivery system whereby
carriers will have to bid for the work
and obtain it by bidding lower than
any one else il causing great appre-
hension among rural carriers all over
the country. This is the old star :.
route system revived. Undar 1t, the
bidder would no doubt be allowed to
take on as many contracts 40 he could
handle, and every rural carrier would
become the employee OF the con-
tractor, instead Of Uncle Sam, as he is
now. In time, the contractor would
become a big corporation which would
fix the compensation OF the men who
do the work at $500 to $500 a year,

John e. Bowden, of Hancock, is a
candidate for appointment as mem
Der of the fish and game commission.
Mr.. Bowden, is democrat-that, per-
haps, goes without saying, as the ap-
pointment will, OF course, go to a
democrat-but Mr.. Bowden's friends
in Hancock county are not confined
to the democratic party, by any
means. Mr.. Bowden, through his ex-
perience in the warden service, would
take to the department a practical
knowledge of the needs of the State
both as to new laws and the enforce
ment of present laws measures for
protection Of our fish and game
interests.

"PLEASE KILL THAT FLY"
is SLOGAN OF CAMPAIGN

The. Housekeepers' Alliance of Wash
the fly. that pest which recently made
his annual debut here. The alliance
is distributing broadcast through
out the city circulars bearing the head
ing Please xiii That Fly" These cir
culars were first distributed this morning
at the meeting of the woman's depart
ment of the Civic Federation. and are
to receive further propagation at the
meeting of the Federation of Women's
Clubs next Saturday.
The circular. which is put out by the
Women's Municipal League of Boston. is
couched in the following terms:
Please Kill That Fly.
Why?
Because:
l. Flies breed il manure and other
filth.
. Flies walk and feed on excreta
and sputa from people i'll with ty
phoid fever tuberculosis, diarrheal
affections and many other diseases 5.
3. One fly can carry and may de-
post on our food 100000 bacteria.
4. One fly in one summer may pro-
duce normally 49,, 312, 500, 600, 100000
descendants.
s. A fly is an enemy to health-the
health of our children, the health Of
our community!
G. A fly cannot develop from the egg
in less than eight days; therefore, If we
clean up everything thoroughly every
week. and keep all manure screened,
there need be no flies.

against this pest?
