Apropos Of our debate with Squire
Wormwood Of the Biddeford Journal, as
to the relative merits of Maine and New
Hampshire skunks, we rise to remark
that New Hampshire skunk-skins are
bringing higher prices than ever before
What about Maine skunk-skins?-Man-
chester Union.
The Colonel doesn't mention the prices

You must have noticed by this time, il
you have followed the Coloners methods
carefully, that he always provides a loop

that we will hesitate to tackle the sub
ject because comparisons are odorous.-

The advertisement Is unsigned aars ,.t her

THE TRUTH ABOUT CITY FL
We repeat from our financial state
mont in the Kennebec Journal OF last
Thursday, actual figures that do not
lie.
The above is from poster passed
from house to house Monday morning.
after it was too late for any sort OF q
reply from Republican source. It was
signed Democratic Campaign Com
mittee." The sincerity and consistency
Of the above quoted pretense is shown
in the fact that the referred to DEM
ocratic financial statement" was I'M
signed. And again, after declaring that
nobody dare father" the Republican
full page advertisement the next
breath declares that the Republican
State committee prepared it.
We doubt II that part Of the poster
brought returns in votes to our DEM
ocratic friends. 1t was too cheap to ap-
peal to any intelligent citizen and it's
manifest unfairness could but arouse
resentment. But the suggestion con-
corning signed political advertising Is
a good one and we thank the so-called
Democratic Campaign committee" for
pointing the weakness of unsigned po-
litical statements. In future the Ken
nebec Journal will require that all po-
litical advertising be signed by re-
sponsible party representing any sort
of committee.

Editors Letter Box
Now That II ls Over.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
Grim visaged war has smoothed his
wrinkled front" and the Democratic
host with it's pacifist allies are en-
camped on the borders of that para
disc flowing with milk and honey
which they have striven to defend. He
who lis too proud to fight" and has
kept us out of war" has by a con-
slant repetition of those buncombe
slogans, succeeded in holding his job
for another four years. He has saved
his beloved country from destruction.
(See Democratic press.) The-wails of
distress that rent the tender bosoms
of the divinely appointed successors of
the sanity Buchanan, at the thought
of wandering in an arid desert far
from government pap was grievous;
but help was near. The unrivaled
political acrobat left the outrageous
shades of Chaw-to-squak and the in
tellectuals assembled there where they
were being soothed and hypnotized by
the meliffluous flow of his silvery sem
fences, and rushed to the assistance of
his friend. What an affecting scene it
was when they rushed into each others
arms and wept tears of joy over a
happy reconciliation. The cruel fate
that kept them apart, was past. The
Dove of Peace and Watchful Waiting
were united.
There are two souls whose equal flow
In gentle streams SO calmly run,
That when they part, All, no!
They cannot part, those souls are one"
Everything is lovely. and the goose
hangs high in the Dem camp. The
Repubs are said to be gnashing their
teeth in outer darkness. Broad pas
lures rich in feed for hungry Dems are
waiting to be preempted, and the pros
pective garnering of unearned incre-
ment gladdens the souls of the Watch
full Walters. Broad grins on their
faces show that the fed troughs will
be abundantly filled.
Never mind about Mexico. She is a
negligible quantity. AS for John Bull,
if he gets too sassy we will smother
him with notes. That will fix him.
He will be so scared that he will scoot
to the woods for shelter.

What lie Your Ansver?

Replies received from prominent
men in answer to the question What
is the greatest safeguard against
temptation" were read Sunday night
by the Rev. DR.. Fred Winslow Adams
at st. Andrews Methodist church,
New York city. Some of the answers
were:
High aims" Andrew Carnegie.
Influence of a good mother" DR..
Lyman Abbott.
1.-THE will to resist" Oscar Strauss.
Influence Of a good home to those
who have it and fear to those who
haven't" Booth Harrington.
Knowledge" Arthur Brisbane.
"Will." Irving Bachelor.
Healthy interest in good things"
Sir Rabinderanth Tagore.
DR.. Adams welding the replies into
a composite declared the real answer
to be:
Association with the best as re-
vealed in Christ
We should have answered "Love,"
for God IS Love-and the safeguard.
Love Is the base Of high aims, of the
influence of the good mother, the will
to resist evil tendencies. the influence
of the home, knowledge, healthy inter-
est in good things, association with the
best as revealed in Christ.
The love for some of these in many
a boys heart has saved him in the
hour of temptation.
Love is the essence of divinity-not
but the Love that inspires humanity
to do and to die for humanity.

Plainly It Did Not PAY.

In Mondays election we believe tho
good work of the Eaymen's Fedora
ton was shown. We are told by men
long voters in some Of the wards where
the charges Of corrupt practices have
been most frequent in the past, that
conditions were the cleanest ever
known. We hope that is true in every
ward. It should be true in every su-
ture election. II party cannot liv.
without corrupt methods in securing
votes 1t is not worth saving.
And, while We are making clean thu
polling places. lot US make clean tho
discussions Of candidates and issues
Lot VI form the habit Of turning away
from and discreditins Of unfounded
and irresponsible charges. The crop Of
rumors and cowardly attacks made TN
out OF whole cloth, that have been
passed about in this campaign is dis
gusting evidence Of the depths that
some partisans will go to discredit an
opponent. Out of curiosity we have
traced to their source at least two of
these yarns that came to US from en-
tirely respectable mon Of Democratic
faith who had been misled by others
pretending to know and who were
willing. apparently, to peddle any sort
of talsehood.
Now that election IL over most vot-
ers can look at these things without
the political bias Of the days just be-
fore. and will feel only contempt for
the writer's who have no respect for the
facts or fairness.

Germany Talks Peace.

Germany bids for peace. and the
world gasps, incredulous, and then
holds it breath in-hope, shall We say,
or fear?
Is peace possible? The first answer
is, NO; it is utterly impossible until
one side or the other is decisively and
confessedly defeated, ready to accept
the best that a triumphant group of
enemies will grant them under the eye
and moral influence Of the neutral
world"
But this is Christmas time! 1t is the
time Of all times for forgetting the ha-
treds that sent Europe tearing at each
others threats, and inspired such as
the Hymn Of Hate" 1t is the season
of all seasons for the fathers and
brothers and sons in the trenches to be
turned homeward to the remnants of
all that had been most dear to them.
1t is the hour of all hours to save every
unit possible of the broken, crippled,
manned and blinded manhood of Eu-
rope.
And it is an appropriate moment for
Germany to suggest to the world that
she is ready to consider measures for
ending the conflict, because she has
just demonstrated to her enemies and
to the world that however much thew
may count upon the possibility Of
eventually conquering her, she is still
able to make the cost terrible to con-
template.
Through the German embassy In
Washington we learn the general terms
on which the Teuton allies are ready
to enter agreements and provisions for
lasting peace-restoration of the
status quo before the war, with the
exception Of the establishment of inde-
pendent kingdoms in Poland and Lith
uania, including complete restoration
OF the occupied portions of France and
belgium IN return for Germany's cap
tured colonies. 1t is also proposed to
dispose of the Balkan situation be-
cause Of it's extremely complicated ma
ture in peace conference
VI course these proposals do not in
clude the return of Alsace-Lorafne to
France. nor can we understand hou,
the Balkans could be dropped like a
cold potato.
Would fiat refusal to consular
Germany's offering at this time sur
prise you? We think not. Would Won
expect Japan to give up her hold in
the Far East? Would Won exnec+
Russia to forego her dream of a thou
SAND years-control of the Bosphorus
and the Dardanelles? Could Won
