Heavy Republican Gains

The tendency so strongly shown in
the State elections Of 1914 was more
emphatic in the Maine cities which
held municipal elections On Monday
a turning 10 the Republican party.
Perhaps the strangest evidence was
seen in the city Of Waterviue, the
home of the Hon. ". P Pattangall
and Senator Charles F. Johnson,
for the first time in years. The city
government, is also Republican.
Fully as striking is the return Of
the Progressive city Of Auburn to the
Republican fold. Rockland elected a
Republican mayor and city govern
ment, as did the city Of Saco. South
Portland reelected Mayor West, Re-
publican. but gave the Democrats con-
troll Of the city government. Ellsworth
reelected Mayor Hagerthy, Republic
can, and with him a Republican city
government. Ellsworth remains Re-
publican.
Lewiston Democracy won out by a
majority Of 33s, and Bath is Demo-
cratic, as is Hallowell.
Republicans Of the State may be ex-
cused for their smiles Of encourage
men,, and Democrats correspondingly
depressed. Democracy lost two cities
in the Republican sweep. and the Pro-
gressives their only solace. The cap
ture OF seven Of the first 10 cities to
hold elections this spring Is duly i'm
pressive. 1t speaks volumes Of hope
for the party candidates in next Mon
days elections. We confidently hope
10 see another Kennebec city added
: to the list next Monday. Augusta Re-
publicans are confident Republican
assurance has been in the air from
Biddeford 10 Bangor.
From a Republican standpoint old
March came in like & dandelion.

The mysterious airship has been seen
again. this time over South Portland.
and the direction which It took when it
left this vicinity substanuates the story
relative to the craft which appeared
Feb. q in the Portland Press. 1t will be
remembered 1t was reported that a cou-
pie OF young men had built a machine
that would run as we'll in cold weather
as warm and were experimenting with it
in this section, having their hangar in
secret place up the Mountain division
OF the Maine Central Railroad. When
the ai-ship appeared over South Portland
a reputable citizen who happened to be
out Of doors was attracted by the noise
OF the motors and II was SO near to
earth that he could hear two men talk
Ing. They appeared to be trying to get
their bearings as they sailed about and
flashed their searchllght. and finally
when they had crossed the Fore river.
they turned the machine and vent of in
the direction Of the mountains at a great
rate Of speed.

| However peaceably inclined we may

the cold shoulder on the latest propo-
sition, the American Legion plan.
Let those who fear war and those who
are learning with horror that America

feelings, and undoubtedly it will have

The Necessity of Two Parties.

In these days when Maine cities are
holding their elections and many men
forge, their party duties because Of
personal friendships or because they
have 10 strong choice between fello "
townsmen who are nominated TO-
homes. and stay away from the polls,
there are state and national bearings
that should be considered.
In the first place such gentlemen
should remember that in the COMPETE
ton OF parties for public favor lies
the salvation OF our civic institutions
and the preservation Of high stand
ard OF government.
The man who stays at home because
he is dissatisfied with government and
the way politics are run" is the
principal cause Of his own dissatisfac-
ton. He and those like him should
take hold and become a factor for bet :
ter conditions. He owes it to himself
TO his fellows in municipal affairs ana
TO his party nationally. A striking
success rf either party in the city -
Augusta will have its effect on tina:
party in the nation.
If you are completely satisfied with
conditions as they are today in the ma
ton. then you should give the ma
tional Democratic party the encour-
agement Of your vote. If you disap-
prove of the effects OF the Underwood
tariff law and some other Democratic
failures and shortcomings, you should
register your verdict by voting with
the Republicans. even II you have
little choice between local candidates.
President Wilson is reported as
perfectly satisfied" with the WORKING
Of the Democratic tariff law-are you?
You know something Of conditions;
how does the complacency Of the
President appeal to you?
The American Economist has dealt
with this phase in part as follows:
IL VIII dluOQctCu!y Slo4 Tie tuC
American people to know that the
President has begun to doubt the ef-
ficacy OF the Underwood Simmons
Tariff law. Events have moved so
rapidly, however, and conditions Of
such grave consequence to the indus
trial life Of the nation and the politi-
cal future Of the party now confron:
the Democracy that the leaders arc
beginning to question the wisdom OF
many Of the provisions Of the present
Tariff law. and it is because he is
willing to have changes made in this
law that the President now looks ia
vorably upon an extra session"
This direct and confident statemen:
can Senator who enjoys the confidence
of his Democratic colleagues.
At the weekly interview accorded by
the President to the correspondents
the next day the statement was re-
ferred to him. 1t seemed to be a
statement based on good judgment
and knowledge Of conditions, and in
dicated that the President was at lass
alive to the fact that there are nearly
three million working men out Of en-
ployment. that capital is in hiding.
that the railroads are IN desperate
condition from lack Of business, and
that 225,0o0 freight cars are idle and
earning nothing for their owners. It
seemed to indicate that the President
at last realized that sine ethe passage
Of the Underwood bill the balance o:
trade in our favor gradually declined

CjVIlization's Peril.

America is closer to the heart of Europe than at any time since Eng lands colonies became independent states. To the most isolated farm house it has been known fer half year that we are not remote from the DOT tentous events beyond the sea; that the fate of our brothers over there. in some way which we do not well discern. involves us also. We are, whether we like it or not, full share holders in the civilization which is inn periled. Our commerce and industry. our prosperity and well-being our cul- ture and religion, the foundations of our common humanity, and the ideals of our common aspirations, are all at stake.-Edward T.

will blow and evaporation will go on more rapidly. This may be prevented by following the roller immediately with light harrow. The roughened surface lessens the blowing of sand, and also forms dust mulch which retards evaporation as well.
 If the corrugated roller or elod crusher is used, the harrow is not needed because this roller itself leaves the surface in a decidedly ridged condition The effect of com pacting sand soils can best be seen by the increase in germination of grain, wherefore a wagon was driven over the field after seeding. If used properly, the roller is one of the most important of all farm tillage imple- ments.

SPRAYING OR DIPPING HOGS
to Keeping Animals Free From All vermin or Worms.

There are some things in growing hogs that should receive regular at- tention, such as keeping the herd free from vermin. or worms. To free herd from lice requires either thor ough spraying or dipping with some good disinfectant. which. if done about twice in an interval of a week. will clean up the herd. Where one grows large numbers of pigs, a dipping tank is the best thing By running them through she tank often there will be little trouble with lice
