they flock to the Republican rallies,
by the way they talk on the streets.
While no direct attack has been made
on Mayor Ingraham. no one believes
for a minute that the machine which
runs the city can be ignored by elect
ing again a Democratic mayor. The
attack has been against Bion Brad
bury. present commissioner of public
works, James A. Comedian present
corporation council and other Office
holders of the Democratic regime.
The refusal of the Democratic board
of registration to recognize or in
veStiSate the challenges of names on
the voting lists is another factor that
enters into the present campaign.
They have resolutely ignored chal-
lenses made in good faith by the Re-
publican committee accompanied in all
cases by what was considered good
and sufficient proof that the names
mentioned were illegally on lists. The
Significance Of their refusal is OBJ
vious. In each case with the eXcep-
ton of three or four, the two Demo-
cratic members have voted not to
probe. and the one Republican voted
to investigate. Partisanship is so evil
dent in this little board of three. that
it fairly reeks Of the fear OF defeat.
They fear some trick, when no trick
is attempted. They are so afraid of
being dupcd. that their every move is
exaggerated caution. They need every
vote and they realize it. How are
they 10 know but what these chal-
lenged names are Democratic votes?
But then, they might be Republican,
too.
The most potent thought that hovers
about the brains of Democratic lead
ers today is how to Stave off inpend-
ing defeat: how to save the present
State administration severe rebuke
at the hands of Portlanders and later
an ovcrturn of the whole State Demo-
cratic regime. All eyes will watch
Portland next Monday.

An Explanation Of Names
Workmen's s Compensation Act
A Comprehensive Interview Given by Former
Attorney General Scott Wilson of Portland on
the Most Important Legislation E n a ct e d at
the Last Session of the Legislature

Workmen'S Compensation Act as an
Employers Liability Law. There is a
wide difference. Laws taking away
the common law defenses of contribu-
tory negligence, negligence of fellow
servant and the assumption of risk. or
modifying them, as has been done in
many states before the passage OF
Workmen's Compensation Laws, are
properly termed Employers Liability
Laws. but they differ from Workmen's
Compensation Laws in this: That I'M
der the Employers Liability Laws the
workman can recover compensation only
when his employer is at fault. Negli-
gence of the employer is still an essen
tial condition to his recovery, while un-
der Workmen's Compensation Laws the
fault or lack of fault, of the employer
does not enter into it. If the injury
arises out of the employment, it mat
ters not that the employer was free
from fault. or that the employee. or a
fellow servant was wholly to blame
the workman is entitled to his COM
pensation.
The Maine law is not Il radical law
as compared with other laws of this
kind. 1T is more liberal to the employee
than the original Massachusetts law, or
the present Rhode Island law. but is
more conservative than the present
Massachusetts law. Each state must
decide for itself what burden its in
dustries can stand in this respect. They
must of necessity compete in the mar
ket with those of other states. Near
ness to the raw material and the mar
ket is q great advantage. Maine is
handicapped in this respect Experience
will show what adjustments are needed
to make the law more equitable. if in
CAPABILITIES are found to exist.

New York, Dec. 6. 1915.

New York's social season is in full
swing; it opened in a blaze of glory
with the swing back of the Metropoi-
tan's doors late in November. The first
night, as always, drew the usual bril-
liant, opera-going audience, wonder
fully gowned in the soft shades so
much favored for formal opening
wear this winter. The white threats,
beautifully dressed hair, and gleam-
ing Jewels distracted the attention
more than once of even the "dyed-in-
the wool" music lovers, who are US
ually immune to clothes when Caruso
is to be heard.
Among the prevailing shades worn
by the gorgeous "first-nighters" were
pink, blue and white, with here and
there a stunning black frock, or one
OF vivid emerald green. This shade
of green is an exception to the rule
of white, or pastel shades, now so
modish; there were several gowns In
this shade at the opera and the most
striking and artistic costume noticed
at the Horse show, some weeks ear
lier, was also of this green. 1t is won

costumes were the fans; these were
not the small, useless fancies OF sew
