SOMEHOW we rather like that naive
idea OF a correspondent whose letter we
publish in another column, that the power
10 declare war be vested in the people,
and that those who vote for war be the
ones selected to do the fighting. We are
OF the opinion that if this method should
be adopted there wouldn't be a great deal
of fighting in the world.

waiting" proved to be the right thing in
Mexico. Let us hope that his advice TO
watch ard pray will have equally good

OF all the millions engaged in the great
European war, probably not one in a
thousand knows what he is fighting for.
Germany invaded Belgium without hav-
ing quarrel with that country; England
got into the fight without having been at
tackled; Russia declared war when no
enemy had offered provocation. The
whole terrible war is simply game OF
the diplomats, with no question OF pa
triotism TO inspire ordinary people or
understanding Of the matters that would
give them cause for fighting. And so the
millions OF common people are being led
as sheep TO the slaughter, knowing very
little more than the four-footed innocentS
to whom they are compared.

Oh. dearest sweetest mother.
Since you have passed away,
II seems not il was Jour years ago,
But only yesterday
Wiener we speak of your loving name
Our eyes with tears are wet.
Oh, mother how we loved you.
And love cannot forget.
The Lord took you from us
II was His holy will
And left in our hearts a vacancy
Which no one else can I'LL.
But in our SaddeSt moments
One happy thought holds sway
We will meet again. dear mother,
And be happy some sweet day.

Dear Mollie you have left us.
Left us, yes, forever more:
But we hope 10 meet our loved ones,
On that bright and happy shore.
Lonely the house and sad the hours
Since Our dear one has gone;
But oh. brighter home than ours,
In heaven is now her own.
We miss thee from our home,
We miss thee from thy place:
shadow DER our lives is cast,
We miss the sunshine OF Thy face.
Farewell. dear Molie, sweet thy rest.
Weary with toll and pain
Farewell till in some happy place
We behold thy face again.

THE election in Maine on Monday was
entirely satisfactory TO the Democrats
quite comforting, indeed. Governor
HaineS, Republican, was defeated for re-
election by Oakley Curtis, Democrat,
by $500 plurality, and the Democrats also
reelected one Congressman. The Re-
publicans reelected the three other Con-
gresSmen. The Legislature will be
Democratic by safe majority, the Demo-
Gratis having gained nine members while
the Republicans lost seven. A feature OF
the election was great slump in the Pro-
gressive vote, which fell off about one
third, in spite OF Col. Roosevelt's SIREN
uouS efforts.
If New England approves OF the pres
emf administration there need be no fear
that the balance OF the country is dissat-
isfied.

DURING the past week number OF
railroad presidents have been in Washing
ton making strenuous appeals to Presi-
dent Wilson to speak good word for
them to the general public and to show
them some way out of the difficulties in
which they find themselves. This looks
like confession OF incompetence on the
part of the railroad officials. Indeed,
there are many persons who are ready to
believe that the present railroad troubles
are largely due to lack OF ability in their
management. AS long as the business
OF the roads runs smoothly, they get along
fairly well, but the moment difficulties
arise they seem helpless and apparently
have no resources on which to rely.
There will have to be revolution in
the methods of conducting railroad cor
porations. They are always borrowing,
and they never pay anything back. They
make Improvements which they cannot
afford. They maintain an attitude toward
the public that arouseS antagonism, and
then appear to be astoniShed that they
have created hostility.
We rather suspect that government
control is the ultimate solution OF the
difficulty.

THE principal railroads OF the East have
decided TO increase their passenger rates,
and on the LIST OF October mileage books
that now sell at $50 will be increased to
so 80. 1t is also reported that the rail-
roads will increase ordinary passenger
fares TO three cents mile straight, re-
CARELESS OF State laws that provide for
less rate. These advances will perhaps
increase the revenues to the railroads,
but il will not add TO the prosperity Of
the general public.
The railroads ought TO meet dull times
in business as individuals do-that is, ex-
excise economy and stop extravagances.
II they will drop offuseless expenses and
display real business ability in manage
ment there would be no necessity for in
creasing the burdens that are already
heavy enough upon their patrons.

Your editorial printed som metime ago
endorsing the eleven o'clock closing
hour for the saloons must have the
hearty approval of the decent public
and | cannot refrain from expressing
my disgust of the man who would
oppose it on the silly plea that the
farmers would have no place to put
their belongings few times during
the year. He certainly cannot claim
to be interested in the moral welfare
of the young men of the city. If those
young men only thought too much of
their good name to patronize the sa-
loon to any extent how proud we
many people do not believe that pro-
hibition is a remedy for existing
evils neither have they any sympathy
for the thousands of men who were
obliged to step down and out and look
for more respectable way of making g
a living. They brought the calamity
on themselves if we can call it that
They thought the day would never
come when they could not defy the
law and the men whose sworn duty
it was to enforce it are just as guilty
before Cod To their dismay the pen
dulem has started to swing back and
they are ready to reform, not because
they are struck with remorse of
conscience for the many souls they
helped to perdiction, but simply to
save their own necks. They are be-
ginning to see the handwriting on the
wall.
