RESULT IN MAINE.

With the Progressives losing
heavily in strength, the Democrats
have carried Maine for the:c guber-
material candidate. The former Re
publican elements made n substantial
gain in the direction of getting to-
rether; but they failed to muster 4
plurality, the Democrats also MAX
ing a gain over the vote they mus
tered for Wilson in 1872.
Two conclusions may fairly be
drawn frem this outcome. One is
that the Democrats are gring tn re-
main dominant at least as long as
their opponents are sharply divided.
The other is that the restoration of
unity to their opponents ic being
sadly impeded by the tendency of the
old reactionary leaders t. resume
control within the Republican party.
Liberal minded voters. naturally
inclined toward the fundamentals of
The Republican party, are indisposed

store the leadership that Der2ctrated

ward, when monetary conditions
were stringent, insist that that par
ticular security was not satisfactory
and that something else must be
provided, would amount TO discrinn-
nation of vicious sort. If given
stock was good enough on July /, at
particular bank, to be taken as Sc
curity for loan, then to throw out
that stock on September / on the
ground that it was not good security,
would be either an Impeachment of
the banks own Judgment when it
made the loan, Dr. else evidence that
the bank wanted to injure that par
ucular customer or that particular
stock. 1t was such charges as this
that caused concern about the New
York situation; and investigation
shows that these were groundless.
Of the thirty-three national banks
in the city, only three have in any
cases insisted that securities DE
withdrawn in this way. Twenty
seven of the banks reported that
they had called no loans at all since
the stock exchange closed. The ag-
gregate of leans whi:h the other six
banks had called was only $3.50, 900.
These figures certainly make an
excellent showing for both the quail
ity of the securities held by the
banks and the temper in which the
institutions have been doing busi-
ness. While call loans have prso-
tically not been called at all, the
banks have been able to make new
loans of this class aggregating $751;
100000.
In cases of this kind a few facts
are very likely to dissipate a bogie;
end the facts serve that exact pur-
pose in the present instance. There
is every ground for confidence that
the general banking interests of the
country have been handled with care,
ability, and real patriotism.

THE BIGGEST GUN.

There can be little consolation for
the thousands of volunteer peace
makers in this country who are try
ing to settle the war in Europe in
the announcement that the biggest
gun in the world is being built in the
Urited States arsenal in Water yliet,
n. Y, and is to be placed at the
Pacific end Of the Panama canal.
The gun is a 16-inch weapon, 40
feet 3 inches in length, and weighs
about 126 tons. It has a range of
from 16 to q miles, varying with
different elevations, and it will hurl
a rrojectile Of $500 pounds. Each
discharge will cost the Government
5000.
The enormous weapon will lie in
ambush at the canal, being lifted to
position by 4 big running carriage
which will be dropped from view i'm
mediatcly the weapon has been dis
charged.
Military experts Of all countries
have followed the guns construction,
to such extent as this Government
would permit, with the kecnest in
terest- Tn, guns installation will
be an event in the history Of de-
fensive measures. But let US hope
there is only a remote likelihood it
ever will be used other than as a
threat against peace distrrhers. On
the Continent all IS war, every gun
belches forth death. Here all is
pesce and our biggest gun, the
largest in TIE world, is being fash
ioned for the preservation of peace,
but if it is needed for another pur-
pose It will be mighty effective.

ENDING ONE WAR.

The organizations of miners in
Colorado have significd their ac-
ccptance of President Wilson's pro-
posal for a settlement of the war in
the coal region of that State The
operators have not yet indicated
their attitude, but the action of the
rlcr will make it difficult for tn I'm
to refuse. Public opinion has
reached the conclusion that there is
no justification for continuing the
controversy; that the public interests
are entitled to consideration, and that
whatever faction longer prolongs the
trouble will place itself in the wrong.
IE this affair the operating in
tercsts constitute an especially
powerful array, and they have been
particularly stitf-necked. 1t is not
TO be set down as at all certain that
they will accept the Presidents pro-
posal. In that case the next move
will be up to the Chief Executive. It
is not to he doubted that he has rlans
in mind for .ha, move.
Mr.. Wilson proposed that agree
mcrt be reached by which the miners
should go hack to work and differ
cnces should be investigated hy
grievance committees, working urder
the direction of a general commits
sion to be named by the President.
The program is in a general way
similar to that which President
Roosevelt imposed upon the warning
interests in the great Pennsylvania
field few years ago. l.. that case

THE DUN DUN BOCEY.

The protest of the Kaiser to
President Wilson against the alleged
use of dunn dunn bullets by Rritish
troops, whether justified or not, has
revived an old controversy. In the
Roer war the British suffered the
same accusation. 1t was found to
be groundless. The supposed use of
a similar bullet by the Russian
troops in the Rdsso-Japanese war
brought a protest from Janan. fol-
lowed by an emphatic denial by
Russia.
Much nonsense has been spilled
about the so-called dunn dun. 1t
was the subject of 4 heated argu-
ment in the second international
peace conference at The Hague in
1899. Finally the majority of dele
gates voted for a resolution to
abolish the USE of the bullet py in
tcrBational agreement. For this
resolution all the powers :oted ex-
cept the United States and Great
Britain.
This soft-nosed bullet originally
took its name from the town Dunn
I'urn, near Calcutta, which was the
seat of an ammunition factory for
the Indian army. It was first Used
by English troops in Indian fighting,
supposedly because of the failure of
ordinary bullets to stop the rushes
Of the fanatical tribesmen. Since
then the term "dIm dunn" has been
loosely applied 20 all soft-rosed
bullets. One can make a DUN dunn
out of almost any bullet by fling
down the point until the lead core
is exposed, Or by making longitude
r.al Sits in the steel envelope. After
the war, when mems passions have
cooled and military imagination is
no longer accepted at its wartime
value, we probably will find that the
dunn dunn bullet story was Just about
as were the flood IF "2nisoned
needle" stories with which this coun-
Try was Addicted only a short while
s.go.

THE BANKS IN THE CRISIS

Comptroller Williams has provided
:, handsome testimonial to :he abil-
ity and patience with which the
great banking interests Of New York
have been managed during the pc
riod since the closing OF the New
York Stock Exchange. There has
been no pressure upon borro Sers;
rather, marked consideration and
forbearance have been shown them.
When the stock exchange closed,
the banks of the metropolis held
vast amounts of exchange securities,
stocks and bonds, as collateral for
loans. These loans. of cou:se, were
falling due every day; but with the
exchange closed there was no mar
llet for securities, and, therefore,
borrowers were unable. in the rcgu-
lar way, to raise funds with which
to meet their obligations.
Charges have been made that the
New York banks have Disseminated
against some classes of securities
and in favor of others. That is, it
was charged, they have refused to
renew and carry loans on certain Sc
cur.ties, though willing that others
should be substituted. The Comp
troller addressed inquiries 20 the ma
t'onal banks of New York, asking
for data on these points. The de-
tailed figures furnished by the banks
disprove the charges of either dis
elimination or harshness in forcing
borrowers to settle, save in & few
cases.
1t is stated that no bank has sold
or ordered sold the securities held
as collateral to call loans unpaid.
Only few banks have even called
these loans, though when it seemed
necessary they have required addi-
ticnal collateral to be provided.
For hank to accept certain Sc
eurity for a loan, and then after

THE PARTY DESICNA-
TlON."

Colorado is going to get lesson
this fall in the efficacy of the ballot
without party designation as "
weapon of reform. There will be no
party name at the top of the tickets,
no tickets arranged in separate
columns, no star or elephant OF
sledge hammer as a guide 70 the
llliterate voter, taught to "vote in
the circle under the star" There
will in fact be no circle at all at the
top of the ballot. There will be no
provision for casting a vote with a
single cross anywhere. The man
who wants 70 vote a straight ticket
will have to make mark opposite
the name of every man on his list;
and he will have to know the list
pretty well.
Instead of arranging the Mares
Of candidates ir party columns, the
new ballot arranges the candidates
for given office under the name of
that office, thus:
FOR GOVERNOR.
Thomas NJ. Patterson, Dem.
George Carlson. Rep.
Benjamin Griffith. Pro.
A cross will be placed opposite the
name of each. The voter who doesn't
read will find it just about impossible
to vote at all, because the election
officials are strictly prohibited from
helping illiterates.
, This form of ballot has long been
the ideal of ballot reformers. The
old system of voting the straight
ticket with single mark has been
the citadel of party organization. 1t
makes campaigns Il series of pleas
to put 'er in straight" instead of
a serious discussion of issues and
candidates.
Just to compel Mr.. Voter to stop
and lock over the array of candidates
for each office, and pick one from
among them, is q huge gain for the
cause of intelligent voting. Next tc
the man who doesn't vote at all be-
cause he "hasn;t any time for poll
tics" the least useful citizen is the
one who votes the straigh. ticket he
cause he doesn't know enough about
the candidates to feel safe splitting
his ticket"

in 1894 by women prominent at thai
