THREE STATES VOTE THIS FALL.

There is much speculation now 60
ing the rounds as to the outcome and
effect of elections in the three states
Kentucky, Massachusetts and
Maryland-which elect this fall Ken
lucky and Maryland are classed as
democratic states, although there
have been occasional lapses, and Mas
sachusetts is republican. 1t is a
queer sort of a state. Everything
there is always republican except
governor. 1t generally elects demo
cratic governor. In Massachusetts
the fight will be made on the old
time-worn issue of the tariff. IN
Kentucky it will be prohibition. In
Maryland there seems to be no. dis
tinctive issue. 1t will be just fight
for the offices.
How these elections can have any
great influence on the next preslden-
tial contest, is hard for the ordinary
man to conceive, but some politicians
insist that they will. A tight in Mas
sachusetts over the tariff, one in Ken
lucky over prohibition, and one in
Maryland over the Offices cannot have
any great effect on national politics
However, the wise ones say it cannot
help showing whether the progressive
party is dead and whether the old
standpatters, with their reactionary
policies, are to get control of the re-
publican party They say the disap-
pearance of the progressive party
would be disadvantageous to the
democratic party, while if the stand
patters get control of the republican
party and put out a platform in &C
cordance with their beliefs, the demo
Gratis would look forward to certain
victory. 1t is argued that many re-
publicans would not stand for such a
program and that many of the pro-
gressives would join the democrats.
None has suggested what would be
done with Roosevelt. Would he, il
the progressives disappeared, become
standpat republican or progress
sive?-St. Joe Observer.

threatened in every year of bounte-
Gus crops through the long cycle OF
republican rule. The reason is to be
found in the federal reserve act. And
while no system of finance can ever
wholly remove the danger Of panics,
we shall never have another panic
like that of 1907, when the financial
machinery was not only unimpaired
but operating at highest efficiency.
There is nothing that republicans SO
badly needed as to sit down dispas-
sionately and consider what the bust
ness factors are that legislation can
control, what factors are beyond it,
and how the record of republican
stewardship of political power looks,
in the light of these elementary facts.

WILL FIGHT UNDER WILSON
BANNER.

There are indications that many OF
those who followed the plume OF
Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 will fight
under the flag of Woodrow Wilson in
1916. The Detroit Times supported
the colonel for president in 1912.
Now, after three years Of Wilson, it
says: 1T cannot be denied that it
is President Wilson who is attracting
to his aid those thinking, forward
looking idealistic men who in 1912
voted not SO much for Colonel Roose-
welt as for the movement which he
represented.

A NAVY UP TO DATE.

Secretary Daniels strong speech at
the opening session of the Naval
War College should satisfy those who
have been his severest critics. 1T
should displease no one except ultra
pacifists; and 1915 is not their year
for commencing their policies to the
public.
Mr.. Daniels has seen in this fate
full time 'old theories crumbling ev-
cry day" and "old tactics, old STRAIT
egies disappearing overnight. He
has seen great superintendent
hiding in guarded Ravens while the
unseen terror of the underseas raw
ages at distances hitherto deemed
impossible. He has noted fast cruis-
ers using lowering dirigibles as eyes
to guide their raids on enemy coasts.
Reminding his hearers that the
courage Of the American people in
facing new conditions has made the
nation great, Secretary Daniels meets
the new conditions He does not pro-
pose navy of menacing size but a
navy up to date. To this end he has
made arrangements for fuller use of
the best expert thought within the
department, without compromising
the necessary safeguard of civilian
control.
Next to Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Daniels
has been the member of the presi-
dents cabinet most often and most
harshly criticised. Nothing in his
conduct of the Office has justified the
abuse that he been wreaked upon
him. If he successfully devotes him
self to such modernization OF the navy
as recent developments suggest, the
need for which he SO we'll states, he
will disarm opposition by Distinguish

RATS were formed and sent down the
river. The history tells of one gang
of Is RATS The lumber was round
logs cut so feet long. They were fas-
tened together by two-inch planks at
each end and in the middle of each log
Through these planks a wooden pin was
driven into each log, making a solid
mass about II feet wide and go feet
long The RATS We're poled down the
river, oars Being also used. These RATS
were sent down the river cach year for
many years land it is believnd that in
1870 or thereabouts the big drives be
gan and have continued each year.
A story in the Boston Transcript
about a year ago told of closing down
the mills at Bellows Falls whiiS the

cline to like up turn.
Only a slight recovery from the bot

were obtained shortly after the open

appear to be Of sufficient volume to
give any noticeable encouragement to

Light frosts in the northern part
OF the corn belt kept spectators from
selling corn freely. The weakness Of
wheat, however. acted throughout the
session as a weight on prices.
The oats market was dominated al
most wholly byithe changes in the
value of corn Affair shipping demand
tended somewhat to have steadying
effect
Selling by packers largely overcame
a rather decided advance in provis'
