by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infiamea condition of the mucous liu-
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is iniamed you have rumbing sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, bearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

The industrial commission is one
of the devices of the party in power
at Washington TO alleviate the misery
caused by the democratic tariff law.
Some weeks ago members of this
commission gave out in the way of
newspaper interviews, some facts
about the number of unemployed in
the country, which caused conster-
nation in the White House and else ..
where. Much criticism of the COM
mission was heard from democrats,
and its members learned a lesson.
They were not appointed to tell any
thing that would hurt the free trade
party, and they have sought since
that time to hunt up something to
help the democratic cause. They
have taken advice from Secretary
Redfield on the subject, with the re-
suit that they are now engaged in
investigating the efficiency of labor in
this country and how scientific
management" may be extended. -

We print this week on pages and
9, specimen ballots for the primary
election next Monday, with full in
structions as to voting. Voters are
urged to read these instructions care
fully. Unlike the ballot voted at
regular elections, in the primary ball
lot cross is made after each name to
be voted for, and only one cross for
each office except for State senators,
where two are to be nominated and
therefore two may be voted for.

1t ought not to be necessary to
urge all good republicans to vote at

his efforts to get him out to the polls.

TEN PAGES.
Vote at the Primaries.

Next Monday, the primaries. There
will be three tickets in the field-re-
publican, democratic and socialist.
The progressive party has already
nominated its candidates in conven-
ton, not yet being entitled to repre-
sentation in the primaries under the
laws of Maine, never having, as a
party, participated in State election.
The primary gives to each voter in
the parties represented the privilege
of direct participation in the nomina-
ton of candidates. Under the con-
vention system, which the primaries
displaced, the voters had but an in
direct voice, being represented by a
few delegates.
The complaint was made that the
conventions were controlled by few
politicians, and the nominations did
not reflect the will of the people.
The cry for direct voice in the selec-
ton of candidates became so loud
and so general, that the legislature of
Maine enacted the primary law. 1t
has placed in the hands OF the voters
the privilege they asked, and if now
they do not use this privilege, they
have no right to complain.
The one factor which seems to deter
many from voting in the primaries,
and about which there remains some
misunderstanding, is the necessity of
declaring ones political preference.
This seems wise provision, as without
it there would be nothing to prevent
democrats from voting to nominate
the weakest candidate on the repub-
ican ticket, or rice UerSa, with the
view to more easily defeating him at
the September election when the
parties are arrayed against each
other. This would be equivalent to
the "packed caucus" of the old con-
vention system. go
The party enrolment, therefore,
seems wise and proper; at least it is
the best method yet devised. The
al Sunou0 tHde IL OAoAo hO place tOi
the independent voter has some
foundation, and yet the independent
voter has more privileges than he had
under the convention system. There
are few if any of the so-called indie
pendent voters who have no political
preference, and there is nothing in
the primary law to disbar them from
expressing their preference for can
didates in the primaries.
Voting in the primaries, or enroll
ment with this or that,party, does not
bind them to vote the same ticket in
September, when, with all parties
represented on a single ticket, and
protected by all the secrecy of the
present method of voting, they are
at liberty to vote as they please.
1t is the privilege-nay, more, the
duty-of every man who has the in
terest Of his State and his county at
heart, to do his part toward the nam
ing of candidates best qualified for
the offices they seek. Let us have a
primary vote next Monday which
will fairly express the will of the peo
pie.

first said this, but today they acknowl-
edge it to be true.
when an alleged gang of bomb
men was arrested in October the de-
Electives announced that at last they
had the original band of bomb-mskers
land placers and no one need fear more
loutrages. Eagan, however, came forth
with the explanation that the men
arrested were, no doubt, responsible
for many explosions, but he insisted
that the most important gang was stu
at large. They laughed at him when
two weeks had passed and no eXpio-
sion took place. But before another
week the biggest bomb of all went
off and this was followed by thirteen
more of equal intensity. which threw
the detective force in despair, for the
guilty gang was supposedly behind
iron doors. They believe Eagan at
headquarters now; when he talks the
others keep still.
"Thc bomb industry in New York

years ago, but in those days Eagan

bosses know where he is. To show the

bombs in 1908, while last year there
were 145, with a property damage es-
timated at $17,430, an increase Of
So over 1912.
"And every one of the unexplored
bombs found is capable of blowing
Eagan to smithereens were it not for
the care he takes to safeguard his
life. Once he has literally picked
tomb apart and has supplied the po-
lice with working clues he uncon-
sciously finds himself the enemy of
the very men who make bombs. Yet,
cognizant Of that fact, he carries no
revolver for protection, and the only
means he uses to elude the vengeful
is to keep his whereabouts secret. You
won't find his name, address or tele-
phone number in any directory, and
long ago he discarded the use of mail
boxes. Should you call at. fire head
quarters and ask where Eagan lives,
they will puncture you with thou

little darling for whom she has paid no
fare, the large, heavy-jowled man who
spreads himself over double space, the
fellow who crosses his legs and acquires
free shine from passing skirts and
overcoats. and the unspeakable one who
expectorates.
There are also pests who do not cause
actual physical discomfort. There is the
gay young rogue who extends his arm
around the back of the seat to indicate
his complete possession Of the silly girl
who is riding with him. There are the
women, and a few men. who talk not for
