CURRENT COMMENT
LaFollette's Winning Trick.

The race is not always TO the swift;
the determining vote is not always with
1 the majority in the United States Senate.
Guile is the dark horse always. To Judge
4 by a very explicit statement of Senator
Gallinger's published in The Sun to-day,
the IaFollette seamen's measure was
! ioekeyed through the Senate BY trick
for the like of which an offender would
be ruled Off a county fair trotting track.
The Gallinger letter, confirmed in its
main facts by the Congressional Record,
sets forth that the mischevous measure
now playing havoc with our merchant
marine was put through the Senate by
snap vote in the momentary absence OF
certain OF it's opponents from the cham.
Der. II asserts that an understanding.
under which these missing gentlemen felt
free to absent themselves, was broken.
A ruse involving bad faith enabled mi.
nority 10 pass measure counter TO the
public interest in defiance OF the major
ity Of the senators TO whom that public
interest Is confded; such is the signif-
canoe Of the Gallinger charge.
The party in power at Washington was
elected as a minority party, by less than
one-half Of the nations vote. II has
seemed bent on reminding the country
that Il is a minority party by repeated
efforts to force through measures which
neither the country in general, the parties
representing most Of the popular vote
nor even the majority in the Senate t.
self approved. The disclosures as 70 the
seamen's bin resemble what was at.
tempted in the case Of the ship purchase
bill That this twin folly was kept of
our statute books is due solely 70 the
honorable refusal Of the vice president 70
permit = similar snap vote on a like oc.
easion.

The toll road is a classic illustration of
the privately institution which
used to prevail but which everybody now
agrees is better superseded by public
enterprise Springfield Republican.
And the same might be said about toll
bridges. At several points on the Con
necticut river person is penalized for
possessing a desire to cross the river from
Vermont to New Hampshire or from New
Hampshire to Vermont. If the old-fash-
toned toll roads are out Of date and
relic of by-gone eommercialism, then the
toll bridge is also. Therefore, Vermont
and New Hampshire, while they are set
Ting their boundary dispute. ought TO
settle once for all those toll bridges, one
of which lies between Wells River, VT,
and WoodsviIle, y. IL

Strange as il may be, Taft's endorse
ment OF Elihu Root as the Republican
candidate for president Of the United
States is not likely to help Root in piling
up votes; and the fact seems stranger
when one considers that Taft occupies a
high place as a logical thinker in the
estimation Of a great many people Of tbe
country ON the other hand, there are
great many people who viii not be swayed
by the influence Of such a man II for no
other reason than that they desire 10 b.
contrary and alec 20 show their indie.
peudence Of a man who. 70 their way Of
thinking. helped materially a. a disrupter
Of the Republican party. So Root win
not gain greatly despite the splendid en-.
dorsement BY the former president.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Appreciates Treatment at Hospital.

appreciates 1fedtIucnl dt uosPitdi.
Editor, Times Just few lines in
which ] wish publicly to express my ap'
probation for the excellent care received
every hour, day and night, during my
stay at the new City hospital. / feel con-
WINGED that not only persons employed
here, far away from their relatives, but
also members of resident families, could
hardly be made more comfortable and
surely not receive more favorable care at
home.
also came to see more wildly than
ever before what harmonious voluntary
cooperation of citizens or residents, I'M
der proper inspiration and leadership Of
men like Mr.. Calef and others, can ac-
complish for the common good.
May the city, state and country ever
increase in the number of such true SER
wants of the people.
Yours very sincerely,
Charles Pamperl.

That the University of Maine is es'
sentially a Maine institution is indicated
by the announcement that "a per cent OF
the students are residents of that state
When they get around to appropriate
money for the support of the university,
the legislators cannot use the opposition
argument that in such a case they would
be spending money for the benefit OF
other states by educating the children Of
those states.

WOMAN AN IMPOSTOR.
Soliciting Funds for Sunshine Society ;. :. =, Here Today, .

It has been reported to the bureau of investigation of the Chamber of Commerce by several members, that woman soliciting funds in the name of Sunshine society, to be used for a Children's Home, has been calling on merchants and other busintss men today.
 Members have reported that the impression was given them that the funds were for local use. Investiga- tion by the bureau has revealed the fact that neither the local Sunshine society nor the Children's Home know anything about this matter. Neither of these organizations has authorized the solicitation of funds.
 When requested to do so by one member, the solicitor agreed to visit the Chamber of Commerce rooms, for the purpose of securing an endorse ment, but failtd to do so. Inquiry out of the city has so far failed to bring to light any favorable information.

Allies Offensive Fails.

Berlin, Sept. 28, by Wireless to Say sville, N. .-''The general attack of thes British and French along the western front is considered here to have failed already says the Over seas News Agency. There is no possibility that the enemy will break through the German lines, in view of the length of the front, which is 500 Kilometres (310 miles.)
 .sIt is to be expected that the Ger mans have suffered losses, but the figure of 10000 prisoners given by the French and British is believed here to be exaggerated. At all events, the enemy's attack has now failed, since the German front is being held firmly everywhere"
