MEANS NOTHING
OF IMPORTANCE
WILL STIR UP PARTY
Republican Win in Pine Tree
State Will Keep Democrats
From Over Confidence.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Politicai
leaders here today pointed out two
Significant features in connection
with the Maine elections-frst. they
indicate in the most emphatic man
ner that the voters of Maine believe
that bad results may come to labor
interests with the end of the war i'm
Europe when munitions plants and
other concerns which have been reap
Ing harvests OF gold during the last
two years are deprived of their war
orders unless the old form of Re-
publican protection is restored: sec
ond, that it may not be bad thing
for Democratic interests. inasmuch
as 1T will quicken the political pulse
and thus make Democrats every
where more active and cause them
to get into the field with coats off.
There is not the least doubt that in
this "rockribbed" stronghold of Re-
publicanism the idea of protection is
deeply rooted, and is as strong as the
rock of Gibraltar. Every form of
business in that section-from the
catching of the sacred Goldfish along
the windswept coast of Maine to the
factory towns and cities in the in
Iterior-lives and thrives and has it's
heing under Republican protection.
They fear, it is believed, that with
the end of the European war, big or
ders will cease and that unless they
enjoy their lifelong protection hard
times may come.
The fact, however, as seen by wise
political leaders here, is that Maine
baving gone Republican signifies
nothing and does not indicate in the
least that after the war is over there
may not be just as much prosperity
throughout the country as there has
been heretofore under Republican
protection.
Maine naturally belong in the Re-
publican column, and mas never been
seriously considered good and re-
liable Democratic asset. and while
Democrats would be glad to have ha I
tHat state snow Dalance on the
right side of the ledger. present re-
suits when the vote is closely analy-,
7ed do not mean much of loss from
a Democratic standpoint.
Had Maine gone democratic, there
is a possibility that leaders in this
party might have been lulled into a
false hope with dangerous results in
November. AS it is now. Maine, one
of the comparatively small Republi-
can States in voting strength, has
shown Democrats that they must be
up and doing and that what has hap
pened in sma.. State may happen
again in one of the larger ones.
Whatever the people OF the East
may want in the line oil "protec-
tion for revenue only" but at the
same time there is plenty of room to
demonstrate that this fear Of q busi-
ness depression and slump with the
end of the war in Europe is largely
psychological. There Is more room
to fear a financial crisis with the en-
of the war under Republican rule and
protection than there is under Demo-
CT attic regime with a fair and an open
field for all.

In order that there might be no
mistake about where the Cebu was

immediate use, but the man had been
in the water too long.
The watch carried by Glebke had
stopped at eighteen minutes to two
o'clock, which leads to the belief that
the accident occurred about half past
one.
Glebke had gone to work on the
boom in the pond showing logs down
toward the mill, he was alone, on the
boom and was last seen by Mr.. Shear
Ter.
The accident was discovered when
another workman went to assist him
and found his pike pole floating in the
pond, he notified the mill men, who
commenced a search for the missing
man.
The water in the vicinity of the ac-
cident was dragged and searched with
pike poles. The water at this point
is from Is to 20 feet deep.
There were no marks of violence on
the body, though the face and head
showed slight bruises caused by pike
poles and rakes. The body was found

M VACATION
BY WEBB MILLER

Ell Paso, Tex, Oct. TT is not a

washing, he has thirty minutes to
feed, water and curry his horse and
"police" the company streets. Policing
is only a sweeter name for the work
done at home by the ''white wings"
At 6 o'clock the bugler blows the
most popular noise on the border-the
mess call for breakfast Then more
policing and tidying up of tents.
About Z o'clock attention is turned to
the stables and further policing en-
sues for an hour.
By this time the sun is blazing and
the temperature is climbing The real
work of the day begins. From until
noon the practical work of making
citizens into soldiers goes on out on
the naked sun-baked plains of the
huge encampment. The drilling COW
ers every possible activity Of soldier.
1t is mans work-every minute Of it.
Sometimes the morning drills are re
