MYTH EXPLODED BY MAINE
Weakness, Not Strength, Of DEM
ocratic Party.

The Maine election has exploded the
Woodrow Wilson myth. Instead Of
being the strength of the Democratic
party the result of the campaign In
that barometer state proves that he
is its weakness. "Wilson-thats all"
was the slogan agreed upon by the
Republican and Democratic parties.
Both appealed to the people Of Maine
to return a verdict in the September
election upon the man and his work.
"Wilson-that's all'' was the answer
they gave in the hardest fought cam
paign in the history of the state, In
the largest vote ever polled by its
people, in one Of the most decisive vic
tories ever recorded under similar cir
cumstances.
From the opening of the Maine cam
paign until its finish. the name and
fame of Woodrow Wilson paraded be-
fore the people for better or for
worse. When the Republican state
convention met in Portland last March
condemnation of Mr.. Wilson's whole
course at home and abroad, the vacil-
lation Of his character, the opportun-
1911 VI Ills pOilIlcS, liC StuOOOIlucSS
of his processes and the weakness Of
his faith, formed the features OF the
convention and speeches and aroused
enthusiastic applause. He was blamed
outright for the whole Mexican mess
and for the resultant disrespect which
the flag has suffered not only there but
on the high seas and elsewhere
throughout the world. One week later
the Democrats met in Bangor and took
up the gauge of battle by coming to
the rescue Of the character and course
of the man in the White House. Mr..
Wilson thus became even before the
national convention the target and the
text of the opposing forces in Maine.
From the day Colonel Roosevelt en-
tered the state until the day before
| election, when Mr.. Hughes concluded
three days of hard campaigning, the
| crusade against Woodrow Wilson
reached its climax. The speech of the
colonel at Lewiston, devoted almost
entirely to the Mexican record of Mr.
Wilson, received the largest circula-
ton ever given a political document
in Maine. Mr.. Hughes went Mr..
Roosevelt one better. Not only did
he reiterate all Of the criticisms which
he leveled against Mr.. Wilson in the
West but he condemned him with SOL
emn severity for surrendering to
force instead of standing for arbitra-
tion in the recent railroad crisis. In
deed his attack upon Mr.. Wilson for
coercing congress into passing the
Adamson bill was the supreme sensa-
ton OF the campaign In Maine and
made more votes for the Republicans
It is estimated, than any other one
issue.
The example of Hughes and Roose-
welt was followed by Henry Cabot
Lodge, william f. Borah. Charles War
rem Fairbanks, and other leaders from
the East and West who went into
Maine to speak in support Of the Re
publican cause. The tryout in Maine
has proved to the public Of the East
that Woodrow Wilson Is the weakness,
not the strength, of the party In pow.
er, and they will wage the campaign
accordingly In the remainder Of the
country. Thus have the people at the
ballot box exploded a political myth
the myth Of Woodrow Wilson.

This Excuse viii Not Do.

Democracy pleads that its failure
to reduce the cost Of living according
to campaign promises is due to the
European war. Yet we all Of us must
distinctly and painfully remember that
while MFR. Wilson had been president
two years before the effects of the
European war were felt here and 16
months before such a struggle was
ever dreamed of, during this whole
period Of immunity from war prices
the cost Of living continued to climb.

Carranza's demand for $500, 600 OOC

the peace of which the Democrats

Twenty-One Issues Of Book.
There have been twenty-one issues
of the Savitar to date II was first
published in 1894 by the junior class.
II. T. Cory, then professor of civil
engineering, was instrumental in
starting it. and the volume was dedi-
Gated to him. That of 1898 was dedi-
Gated to Governor Lon V. Stephens:
that of 1902, to Senator Vest. In 1899
it was dedicated to Company I, Fifth
Missouri Volunteers, one of the Uni
versity companies that served in the
Spanish-American war. A note
worthy volume is that of 1895,
which was dedicated to Eugene Field.
In it were printed several of his poems
and an illustrated story of his stu
dent days here.
Since the first issue, the Savitar
has grown from a small volume of 100
pages TO over 800. In the first edition
the College of Agriculture is repre-

A DOG WHO REALLY
 DICTATES A LETTER

Some remarkable facts are made public by Dr. Arundel Del Re, of University College, London, regard ing reasoning dog at Mannheim, Germany. According to Prof. Will fam Mackenzie, who made special visit some time ago to investigate the acts of this dog, an Airedale ter rier about 3 years old and named Rolf, the names of other scientists who examined this dog are suffi- cient guarantee of the facts of the case.
 The dog first attracted the notice of Mme. Moekel, it's owner, to it's extraordinary powers one day, when she was trying to coax her little daughter to do a simple sum in addition. In chiding her child, the mother said: T am sure even Rolf could tell me how much two and two make"
 The dog responded to the sug- gestion by wagging his tail and tapping four times with his paw on the arm of his mistress. After this incident Mime. Moekel determin- ed to teach Rolf, and by a simple code of numbers the dog gradually became proficient in solving simple arithmetical problems.
 By a modification of phonetic writing, with syllable values given to the consonants by the use of their names, the dog was trained to answer questions, as we'll .as voluntarily to express his thoughts. An example of this wonderful abil- ity is given in a letter dictated by the dog to Prof. Mackenzie after his departure from Mime. Moekel's home. The letter, as quoted, read:
 "Lieb Doktor, bald kommen him. mer gehen, mir Bilder geben, auch eins won Dir, viel Gruss, Dein Lol" (the dogs pet name.)
 The following is the translation of Rolf's letter, in childish English:
 Dear Doctor, coming soon, never will go. Give me pictures, one of yours, too. Many regards. Your Lol."
 It is said that the dog took the initiative in dictating this letter. tapping out each letter by code.

DYEING SILK BEFORE
 IT REALLY IS SILK


 Silk is the secretion of two glands of the silkworin lying alongside the digestive canal. These glands, which consist of numerous coiled tubes, terminate in a spinning -wart. From common orfce in the spin ning-wart the secretion, of the consistency of honey, issues forth, promptly hardening into a thread on exposure to the air. Usually the silk is scolorless on leaving the body of the silkworm, but some times it is straw yellow or green ish. Why? The answer has been a matter of long dispute. Some claim that the larva itself pro- duces the color; others ascribe it to impurities acquired upon secretion: still others are of the opinion that the green color of the leaves of the mulberry tree is the cause. Two French scientists, Levrat and Conte, determined to settle the dis pute. They fed silkworms on null berry leaves which had been satur- ated with nonpoisonous aniline red and aniline blue. With what re- suit? Not only were the silkworms turned red or blue but their secreted silk assumed the respective colors. Who knows but some day we may be dyeing silk in the leaf instead of in the vat?
