HOW THEY STAND

has to do to count Detroit out of the
pennant race in the American league
is to win two of it's remaining seven
games. AS a result of today's con-
tests the champions record Is 81
won and 60 lost, so two more wins
would make it SO victories and 65 de-
left to play and now has IS won and
66 lost, so that by winning the trio
it would stand SS-66, one whole game
behind Boston.
Chicago has a slightly better chance
than Detroit. Including today's game.
Comiskeys men have won 86 and lost
Ga. Winning their remaining four
games (all of which are with Cleve-
land) they would stand 80 won and
Ga lost. To beat that Boston would
have to win four OF its seven games.

Mains Road Work.

(Boston Herald)
The Maine State highway commls-
sion is on the defensive this summer
and is having rather a busy time 0,
it. The tide Of summer travel, anu
especially Of automobile travel, Is
rising in that State at tremendous
rate. The exceptionally heavy rains
Of the spring and early summer pu'
the highways in the worst conoltlon
for years, in the face Of the exactlng
demands Of the tourist invasion. Inc
result has been an avalanche or com
plants and many comments in the
outside press which have hardly done
Justice to the Maine situation.
Doubtless the Maine highway prob
lem is more difficult and more com
plicated than the tourist who rides
into the State over the asphalt roaos
of Massachusetts commonly stops TO
consider. To be sure, the TOURIST
finds in southwestern Maine some CT
the best roads in the world. but MS
wrath begins to rise and his COM
plants to seek the Offices OF the
newspapers and Of the highway COM
missioners when he travels 1ar IN
land. He should remember that the
total mileage Of the Maine roads IS
25530-equal to highway clear
round the earth!
The people of Maine, about equal
to the number of inhabitants OF
Boston, are scattered over an area
equal to the five other New England
states, and, being human. the peo-
pie Of each region want the state to
in
particular locality. 1t has been diff
cult, therefore, for the highway COM
missioners to carry out program
Of continuous improved highways
from the western border across the
State and to the main centres.
The work has to be done here and
there, some in Cumberland county.
some in Penobscot, some in Hancock
and some in far Aroostook-and
when the links are connected the
main highways in all directions will
leave the automobile tourist, or the
local farmer going to market, little
to complain Of.
| The program Of State highways
that Chief Engineer Sargent is work.
ing on covers 1900 miles-no small
have been completed. There are also
1000 miles Of state aid" road COM
pleted. During the present summer
20 miles more Of State road are un-
der construction, and the State is aid
ing towns in building $50 miles Of
other roads which will not be state
road" but which will be improved
modern highway. Though the 1900
miles Of State highway projected for
the next few years constitute but
| 5 per cent Of the roads Of Maine,
they reach 23s cities and towns, nearly
half in the State, and will serve about
"A per cent Of it's total population.
The State has issued bonds for his
work and is spending more money
on good roads than most states are in
proportion to their population and
resources. 1t recognizes that the
problem Of maintenance is one of
the biggest factors in the problem,
and has this summer no fewer than
$50 men giving all their time to
patrol work. If the visiting autoist
will think over these things he will
perhaps become a little more chart
table.

observing Democrats"

A deserving Democrat, according
to a captious Democratic critic (who
probably failed to come through, is
one who contributed according to his
means to the Wilson campaign fund.
He points out, at any rate, that those
who did contribute literally landed
good government jobs, notably in the
diplomatic service. He complains,
however. that 1t takes far larger
contribution from a Northerner than
from Southerner to land a good place
at the pie-counter. For instance, II
cost General Penfleld, Charley Crane.
Morganthau, McCombs and Jones an
average Of s24,50o each for good jobs,
whereas. the Southern rate is only $3.50,
as evidenced by the fact that that was
the average contribution Of Daniels,
Burleson. Gregory and McReynolds. all
in the cabinet.
In this connection it is also main
tanned that while most Of the taxes
collected by this administration have
come from the North, the lions share
Of the expenditures have been made In
the South. The bulk Of tho 100000

Why They Are for Hughes.

Candidate Hughes is proving highly
unsatisfactory to the Democrats, on
his western tour. Charley Murphy,
head Of Tammany Hall, has given an
interview denouncing Mr.. Hughes as
lacking constructive ability and Sec
rotary McAdoo accuses the Republican
candidate Of the crime Of petition
ging". For some strange reason the
Republican managers accept these crit.
icisms Of their hero with extraordinary
complacency. They maintain, in fact,
that the sudden decision Of President
Wilson. after having announced that
he would not take the stump, to make
western tour and go over the same
ground as Mr.. Hughes is evidence that
the Republican candidate has put the
Democratic nominee very much on the
defensive.
The Republicans insist that Mr.. Will
son received thousands Of votes from
people who believed him to be a Pc
culiarly high minded man and who had
accepted his repeated commentator Of
civil service reform as sincere and that
these are bound to be alienated by the
evidence Mr.. Hughes is presenting Of
fragrant violations, by Mr.. Wilson's
personal direction. Of both the spirit
and the letter Of civil service reform.
When Mr.. Hughes said at Fargo,
I'D like to have authority to investi-
gate this administration for six
months, everybody cheered. Why?
Because Mr.. Hughes reputation as an
efficient and merciless investigator had
gone before him. His audience ren1em-
bered the thorough investigation to
which he subjected the insurance COM
panies and they recalled, too, that it
made not the slightest difference to
him whether it was corrupt contribu-
lions to the Republican or to the Dem
ocratic campaign funds that he was
exposing.
People who have been paying special
taxes, stamp taxes, income taxes, cor
poration taxes, etc., for the last three
years. with the prospect Of paying
more when the pending revenue bill is
passed, would like a Hughes investiga-
ton, not only Of the present admins
tration but Of all previous administra-
tons, that there may be some check
expenditures, the criminal waste of the
peoples money.
