 The price of funerals has been increased in New Jersey on account of the war in Europe. It is rather difficult to see why the cost of dying should be greater in New Jersey just because the popula- ton of the globe is being rapidly de- creased abroad.

Develop Maine Movement.

Maine people do not realize how anx.
ious the natives OF the State are to hear
good news from home. When a son Of
Maine, living far away, learns that an
effort is being made to build up the busi-
ness and prosperity Of Maine, he is inter-
ested at once, aud frequently offers his
aid.
Thousands of Maine sons and daugh-
tiers would come back to Maine if they
realized what Msine now has to offer in
the way of opportunities. The day is
past hen Maine stood still. The State
is advancing, and it is in the country that
is advancing that fortunes are made.
The Develop Maine movement means to
tell the world that Maine is moving for
ward. 1t will help every man, woman
and child who owns property or earns q
living in the State. You ought to be q

The Progressive Vote.
Boston Herald. |


One highly significant result OF the
Massachusetts, election has been the col
lapse of the progressive party. Mr..
Joseph Walker, its candidate for governor,
expressed the belief in an interview
yesterday detection dayl that the ballot
would show 80 substantial increase in the
progressive party vote over that of last
year; that instead OF falling of the pro-
gressive party was growing and would
grow". And no one who knows his es-
sential frsnkness can doubt that be meant
exactly what he said.
While we do not object to q candidates
taking an optimistic view of his perty's
prospects on election morning, seldom has
such an expression proved wider of the
mark. Mr.. Walkers vote proves to be
hardly more than ope-fourth that cast for
Mr.. Bird last year, and only about one
sixth that cast yesterday for Mr.. Mccall,
although only twelve months ago the pro-
gressive nominee outrsn the republic
by a substantial margin.
Here is an overturn little short of sensa-
tional. 1t accentuates tendency already
long in evidence, the existence OF which
has been hotly disputed by all progressive
leaders and their democratic allies.
The Herald printed some months
ago, from the pen OF Charles Willis
Thompson, q record OF progressive
decline in various states which proved
most impressive. Maine soon came along
with the same story. There the progress
sive vote of September fell to 40 per cent.
of that cast for Roosevelt in the presiden-
tial polling. Now Massachusetts follows
with still more marked decline.
This undou ubtedly means the end OF the
progressives as separate organization.
Even the newly-invoked prohibition issue
has not saved them or apparently helped
them

With the reassembling of Congress
in December, many changes will be
made in the organization of the House
through the reduction of the demo-
cratic majority from 140 to twenty
three as result of the recent elec-
tions.
With this slender majority the
democrats, while able to re- elect
Speaker Clark and retain control of
the committees, must preserve their
organization intact in order to con-
troll legislation. Even with full at
tendance in the House, the change Of
a dozen votes would cost them ma
jority.
Another result of the narrow mar
gin OF the majority will probably be a
rearrangement OF the committee
representation. The democrats now
hold an overwhelming majority in all
committees. The progressives, too,
whose representation is reduced from
nineteen to seven, may also lose the
few important places they hold on
committees. Among the progressives
who went down to defeat was Victor
Murdoch, OF Kansas, the House
leader, who lost his seat in an effort
to reach the Senate.
There will be change in the demo-
cratic leadership, Rep. Underwood

Altogether, with the more evenly

promises to be more interesting than

saddle, perhaps in more thorough

the democratic losses were in the

THE FUR MARKET.
General Decentralization Due to the
European War.

European War.
The European war has caused general
decentralization OF the market for raw furs,
and Hancock trappers are feeling the re-
suits. Prices on all furs are away below
normal, even for No, /, prime skins. For
unprime skins there is no market at all,
and r. II. Young. the veteran fur buyer
OF South Hancock, saysthe trappers would
help themselves by not trapping at all
this year, and reap the benefits OF better
prices and'more skins next year.
One OF the largest dealers in fur and
skins in this country writes to him:
No doubt you are interested to know what
the prospects are for raw furs this coming
season. We are confronted by a condition
that has never occurred Stree we have been
in business n European wnf involving all
the largest countries. As you are aware,
Europe has been our principal outlet for raw
skins, and since our market is cut of, practi-
cally all goods taken in this oouutry will
have to be used at home, and II is the general
opinion that prices will be very much lower
than they have been for years.
Some houses at present are talking prime
No. skunk at si; fall rats. large, heavy
furred skins, Is cents, and large eastern mink
as low as o., with other skins in about this
proportion. However, this is only a guess,
but one thing is certain--early caught and
unprime goods will not be worth buying, and
we wish to caution you in this respect
There will be no London October sale this
year, and IL is doubtful II there will be Jan
uary sale. These safes have for years served
as guide, and without them you will readily
see that the fur merchants are at q loss to
know what TO pay for their raw material.
