Uncle Joe Comes Back.
philadelphia Inquirer.)


Uncle Joe Cannon arises from the
obscurity to which he had been tenn
porarily relegated to let the world
know that the old dinners, whether
they be in sports or politics, do come
back" sometimes. The dispatches
from the Eighteenth district of ILL
nois, which he represented in Con-
eress for so many terms, indicate that
the former Speaker has been nominat-
ed by safe majority and that he is
almost certain to be reelected to the
House of Representatives
Those who love the picturesque in
politics and who hate hypocrisy in any
form will be glad to know that the old
warrior is coming into his own again.
He was perfectly outspoken in his
views on all of the great questions of
the day and it is to be noted that the
principles for which he stood un-
swervingly were the ones that made
this country powerful and prosperous.
The fact that We have not Jared so
we'll with the uncertain policies of the
new school of theoretical politicians
undoubtedly has had a great deal to
do with the denomination of Uncle
Joe.

Curtis in the Lead.


What started like a Haines land
slide abated as the returns came in
after midnight Monday night, and by
daylight Tuesday morning the out
look favored Curtis by some 5000 ma
jority.
1t does seem a shame for Maine,
among the best States in the Union,
to defeat one of the most economical
Governors Maine has ever had. But
fundamentals were never at stake in
this contest.
The Republican party of Maine has
elected three out of the four repre-
sentatives to Congress from Maine,
the veteran Dan Mack" retaining his
seat as the dean of the Democrats of
Maine.
The political complexion of the
Maine legislature is in doubt, the
probabilities favoring Republican con-
troll.
The Progressive party has done its
worst in Maine. with a total of two or
three Progressive representatives
elected to the Maine legislature.
The banner of a high-protective
tariff is valued to the most of Maine
to endure for all time.
Colonel Roosevelt, Hon. Halbert p.
Gardner have all done their worst to
Maine this year and Maine is con-
valescent from all the above ills.
Now comes the final log cut Of q
free trade administration before all
the voters of this country in Novem-
Der.
May God save a high protective
tariff.

Fish and Game Notes

A freak trout has been reported
through the Green Lake fish hatchery,
curiosity OF the first order. The fol-
lowing description is from the Els
worth American of Sept. Is:
Charles w. Hopkins of East Boston
is visiting his sister, Mrs. A. w.
Packard. Mr.. Hopkins, who is an en-
thusiastic fisherman, on Monday cap
tured a trout at Blacks meadow that
had the fish experts guessing. In gen.
eral appearance 1t was a trout, but
unusually short and stocky; measur-
ing not more than nine inches, it
weighed about three-fourths of a
pound. The fish was very highly col
ored on the under parts and lower
fins, but this is not unusual in the
male trout at the spawning season.
The most striking feature OF the fish,
however, was the large size and brill
lance of the vermilion spots, more
than one-eighth of an inch in diam
eter. There was no orange or yellow
spots. The tail was square, which
proved 1t was not what Is known as
the red-throat trout. Supt. Race of the
Green Lake fish hatchery, from de-
scription Of the fish given over the
telephone, was of the opinion that it
was a freakishly inclined brook trout,
perhaps having a strain of some of
the many different species of trout at
various times planted in this vicinity.
One answering very closely the de-
scription, he says, was caught by r.
l. Moore, at Green Lake, some years
ago, and was pronounced brook
trout

Lesson of Maine Election.


(Springfield Republican, Indt)
The lesson of the Maine election is
the one that has been in evidence ever
since Theodore Roosevelt insisted
upon having his way in the last Re-
publican National Convention-when
a compromise had otherwise been
possible-which is. that--if former Re-
publicans continue their division the
Democrats are to reap the advantage.
Thus the Democrat, Oakley c. Cur
tbs, the Portland former mayor and
coal dealer, has been chosen governor,
whereas the combined Republican and
Progressive votes would have defeat
ed him. The expected happened in
the sharp decline of the Progressive
vote, revealing in the Pine Tree State
the recession from the Roosevelt STAN
dard, which has been in evidence
throughout the country. Events are
proving too strong for the new depar-
ture in politics, which was too largely
based upon Mr.. Roosevelts desire to
rule. Whereas in 1912 Mr.. Roosevelt
polled 47,904 votes, on Monday the
vote for Gardner the Progressive
candidates fer governor, was about
$4,000 a loss of more than 81 per cent.
1t is manifest that those who voted
for the Progressive ticket in the
presidential election have to a start
ling degree returned to their former
political allegiance. In the light OF
this event, the Progressive talk about
carrying Maine at this time is made
as ridiculous as it seemed in advance
to be to those who had made a study
of the political conditions in that
State. The effect of this disaster is
very certain to be felt in the Massa-
chusetts voting this fall.

those feats of bloodless surgery which
were made SO famous by Lorenz. the
great orthopedic surgeon from Vienna
and Still of Kirksville, Mo, the found
er of Osteopathy. Instead of burden
ing the patient with various trumpets
and telephones and other external de-
vices to try to make deaf ear hear,
DIR. Edwards went right at the root
of the matter and applied his treat
ment according to the basic principles
of Osteopathy itself; that is, to the
cause instead of the effect. Without
the use of the knife or any surgical in
struments the discoverer of this OPP
Grafton by means of his fingers alone
explores in the back of the throat and
in the vault between the throat and
the nose, breaks down the tiny adhe-
sions which twist the eustachian tube
out of it's normal position and then
he actually inserts the tip of his fin
ger into the opening of the tube 1t
self. By this method he is able to re-
place the tube in its normal position
and to drain it of its accumulation of
diseased materials SO that nature may
have an opportunity to effect cure.
DR.. Edwards found that in about
three quarters of all cases he could
insert his finger into the tube in spite
of its minute size by gradually dilat-
ing 1t.

Returns from Children's Conference in

Secretary James F.. Bagley of the
state Board of Charities and Correc-
tions spoke enthusiastically Saturday
morning of the Children's Conference
at Manchester, N. H., from which he
had just returned. According to his
report the conference was well at
tended and prominent among the
questions discussed were: THE Years
Test OF the Massachusetts, Mother
Pension Law" and the Juvenile Court
Law of New Hampshire" Mr.. Bagley
spoke at the conference upon the SUBJ
ject, Laws and Means for the Care of
Delinquent and Neglected Children in
Maine" Many county commissioners of
New Hampshire were present, accord
ing to Mr.. Bagley, and they were much
alive to the question of the proper
care of dependent children.
Mr.. Bagley stated that those at the
conference were especially interested
In Mains system of county agents for
the protection of children and seemed
to feel that If there was some plan
for securing coordination on the part
of the county agents, this system

Rapidly crumbIins to Pieces.


But all the citation over the Maine
returns cannot be monopolized by the
Democrats. The dwindling Progress
sive vote must be generally encourage
ing to the Republicans. especially as
Mr.. Roosevelt TOOK personal charge of
the State campaign. With a decrease
of approximately 10000 in the Pro-
gressive vote and a corresponding in
crease in the Republican vote, 1t is
apparent that the third term party is
rapidly crumbling to pieces. 1t will
still serve to divide the anti-Demo-
cratic vote in many places in Novem-
Der, but all hope of re-assembling the
fragments into a militant political or
ganizatfon must soon be abandoned.

But the significant feature of the
election is the great loss of the Pro-
gressives, it being no less than 10000
votes, whereas the Republicans gained
$1,000 and the Democrats 10000. The
Roosevelt vote in 1912 was 47,94S,
while that cast yesterday for Gardner,

of more than 10000, he received less
