 ID HAVE WON FIGHT
 IN MAINE ELECTION
Returns Too Slow to Fore cast Accurately the Final Result of Guberna-
 tOrial Race

Portland, M.. September 14.-Returns from the cities of Bangor and Portland, just before midnight tonight, changed an indicated republican plurality for governor to an apparently democratic victory. though the result will not be certain un- til 50 missing towns have been heard from. taf
 The standing with t5O towns and all the 20 cities. was as follows:
 Haines republican. 54.955.
 Curtis democrat 57,51S.
 Gardiner, progressive, iS,S22
 ThS corresponding vote for president in 1a12 was:
 Taft. republican, 24,s6o
 Wilson, democrat. is, i67.
 Roosevelt, progressive. 45327.
 These returns show republican gain of 125 per cent and democratic gain of IS per cent If the same percentage is maintained, Curtis election Is indicated by about 500 plurality. The complexion of the legislature was in doul.t. although in dications were that the democrats might control both branches.

ENSLEY NEWS

The delegation from the -1nsley club which went to Montgomery to go before the railroad commission ard enter a pro- test against the proposed raise in coal rates, returned home last night They said that delegates went to Montgomery from all parts of the state and asked the rail- road commission to postpone the matter indefinitely, but the commissioners stated merits this morning at 10 o'clock The resolution adopted by the Ensley clup was read before the railroad commission and was as follows:
 "To the Honorable Board of Railroad Commissioners
 "Gentlemen: Since railroads operating in this territory have requested your hon. orapie body to allow them to make a material increase in their coal rates, and since no good reasons are given for this purposed increase, we, the Ensley club and other citizens of Ensley, vigorously protest against commissioners increasing the rates hereby referred to. First, there is no apparent reason for increase in operating cost to justify such increase in rates second, many contracts for delivery of coal have been entered into on the basis of present rates and if the pro- posed increase is allowed it will result in great losses and probably financial em- barrassment to many coal producers; third. railroads should b- compelled to share their part of the cost of the Euro bean war, if their earnings have decreased on this account, and not be allowed to shift it all to the producers along their lines.

It will be noted that the fuel bill
for February was rather heavy, due
largely to the extremely low TEN:

Van Hcrn believes that this will
prove more economical than to heat
the building only on such occasions
as the house might be open. Fur.
therefore it was doubtless advisable
to maintain permanent heat during

CdrneQie:S Gift TO Peace

In 1910 MI. Andrew Carnegie gave $lO,OO00OO as
an endowment Peace Fund. A few days ago he sup
plemented that sum by giving 81 100000 more and
naming a committee OF ministers and others to man.
age its expenditure. +. E.... 80. ~
Commenting on this last gift to the cause of peace,
the Springfield. Ohio, Daily News views It as a great
tribute to religion. and. says: r. s.I. g.
"Mr. Carnegie's action is due to his recognition OF
the church as the greatest peace Institution in tho
world. Its very faith. the teachings Of the founder
Of Christianity. are all for peace. The church has
not always stood up for peace as it should. There
have been religious wars. or wars which were waged
in the name Of the church. That the cross has
been made an excuse for wholesale murder Is one
OF the foulest blots on civilization. a"N "'*
But the-church has been purified. In every
branch Of the Christian faith the influence OF the
church is thrown on the side of peace. It's clergy,
Of every denomination, preach peace. Its leading
supreme bodies declare for peace. It is in recogni.
ton Of this modern tendency and teaching of the
church that Mr., Carnegie has acted. Possibly, too.
the canny old ironmaster realizes that such a gift
will bring an added responsibility to the church,
and that it may support peace more aggressively in
the. future, than it has ever done in the past.
oSS,"Mr. Carnegie could have made no better choice
OF: administrators of this fund. 1t will be handled
wisely, COnSC!entlOuSly. Inc men who are named as
trustees will make the most sincere effort to get
the biggest possible result from the money at their
disposal" -. ~
The Lebanon Daily News, while recognizing; that
was lis utterly Illogical and absurd yet believes
''that generations may elapse before the war, spirit
Of the nations and the fighting impulses of the origi-
nal 4cave.dweller, will be SO eliminated from the. policy
Of: rulers and the constitution Of man as to warrant
the disbandment. Of armies, the dismantling of forti-
fcations and the withdrawal of warships from the
ocean. .s .,; Il;
lin concluding it gives these very illuminative
figures: ~ ~. %
II armies and navies could be- abolished through
out the world, Great Britain would save $441,o 1884
Per annum and return to the industries of life 54O,45S
men. Russia would save $242, 521 ,9l7 per annum and
add 1,226,412 men to her producing population.
France would save 1886, 43l, 10 per annum."
In characteristic vein the New York Call, the So.
cialist daily, regards the gift, its antecedents and
consequences. as a huge %"sardonic joke" 1t says:
"Protestants of all shades, Catholics and Jews are
included IN the committee that is to spend the money.
They are to preach. peace, write about peace and in
oil. other ways forward the cause of peace. So we
may anticipate a merry war"
