Luke McLuke Says

It's an ill wind. &c. The worse business is with other people, the better it is with the bill collector.
 A woman isn't comfortable unless everything but her hat is squeezing her.
 The lad who carelessly slips the waiter dollar tip when he eats down town is the same fellow who imagines he is due for Carnegie Medal, a Harp and a Halo if he slips the wife a quarter to take the kids to a movie show when he eats at home.
 Another liar we all hate is the man who announces that he doesn't care anything about the money, but it is the principle of the thing that he is kicking about.
 Of course you have a right to eX- press your honest opinion when you feel like it. But you are going to waste a whole lot of time con- valescing in hospitals.
 Another good thing about our form of Government is that a lazy, shiftless man can always blame it on the Administration because he isn't wealthy.
 Some men keep their Religion and their Best Clothes locked up for Sunday use only.
 The old-fashioned boy who ran up the kerosene bill sitting up nights to read Nick Carter now has a son who runs up the electric light bill sitting up nights to read Havelock Ellis.
 It's a lucky woman who has as many clothes ten years later as she had when she was married

THE MAINE ELECTION

The Maine election result may properly be de- scribed as case Of the Dutch taking Holland" As an indication of the trend of coming events Demo crats will attempt to compare the result with the conditions Of the days when it considered that anything less than a Republican majority of 25OOO .oretold a coming victory for their party. Republi cans will compare the returns with two years ago. when the Democrats received plurality of S117 for Governor and claim that it indicates that the Pro gressives have returned to the Republican party.
 At this writing. the Republicans claim a plural ity Of 10000 for Governor and 75OO for the Republi can Senatorial nominees. This would indicate that the advantage on State issues was with the Republi- cans and that the Democrats were stronger on Ma tionai issues than on State issues. Accepting the Senatorial vote as che basis calculations, and the 4sl2-yoee for Che purpose Of comparison. it would seem that about 46OOO of the Progressive and sayat- hcme vote of 1912 voted the Republican ticket yes terday and that 14O0O voted the Democratic ticket. This would mean that the Democrats received about 2Sls per cent Of this vote If the same proportions should run throughout rhe country President VII son would be elected November by nearly 200 major ity of the Electoral College
 The Democrats have never carried Maine at a State election on Presidential years except in lSSO when they fused with the Greenbackers and dsgrun- tied Republicans and they have never carried it at any election where there has been full vote. Only apathy among the Republicans has made Maine Dem ocratic.

 Two years ago the Progressive Democrats" put in their platform strong declaration in favor of full Territorial form of government Then came wickersham with his famous paradox that have a full Territorial form of government but if we were to get t the cost of it would ruin the Territory Forthwith the Progressive Democrats" came to the defense of our Organic Act and talked wisely of how expensive would be a full Territorial form of govern ment and sagely advised the Legislature that to get 1t would be to plunge the Territory into the danger of uubearable burdens. Then the Delegate switched again. and urged Statehood. which would cost much more than a full Territorial form of gov ernment and che Progressive Democrats began talk ing of the glories of Statehood and characterized full Territorial form of government ab9mina- tion They let up. however. the item Of cost Now comes Wickersham with a platform that con- tains strong declaration in favor Of full Territorial form of government now, and Statehood when State government can be organized to the advantage of the people" With that the Progressive Democrats" have ceased to talk They have yet caught their h-.

The time is fast approaching when candidates for the political offices will be heard holding forth We shall hear again the old arguments and the same old attacks. and again the name of Gug- genheim will take the forward place in the affairs of the Territory
 It is fine 10 be rich like the Guggenheims. It is all very well to say that certain amount of money. enough to supply all your material wants is enough for any but t is very nice also to have enough to make politicians you as the chief subject around which to entwne their forensic fowerets Any speaker who does not attack the Guggenhems is in the pay of the Guggenheims In the newspaper 9usi- ness Alaska you either roast the Guggenheims or you surely are Guggenheim tool Do you know the sensation of being accused for years Of taking the Guggenheim money although you never saw a red of it? That's the only thing about which the Guggenheims certainly ought to be bawled out. They have the credit of spending a lot of money on newspapers and others than they really don't. Some newspapermen are human, mirabile dictu. and might be tempted just as much any other specimen Of the race to accept a little filthy lucre if it wasn't too filty to be clean. but those Guggenhems get all the credit for nothing and the newspapers get all the roasting, also for nothing Dear Messrs. This ain't fair Several politicians are coming around and newspapermen will have to stand by and hear themselves and their friends accused of taking your money. Often some news papermen wish they telling the truth about you Yes there may be some people who would like to see the color of little of your con There might be even some of whose high sense of honor probty and unselIshness and virtue might not be elevated to reach down for some of your ungodly gold.

Carson Valley will have city serv-

River General Electric Company yes
terday.
Our men are busy at present
changing the voltage from 220 to 40.
which is now practically the standard
thee onntry over.
But that is not all we are doing to
bring the service we are giving you
up to date. We are spending con-
siderable money to give yon uniform
voltage
Many of Your people have asked
us about electric cooking An cleo
trie range will not operate success
fully If there be any precepitable
variation in voltage. So we have
brought up the efficiency of our sys-
TEN until now we are ready to talk
electric ranges with you.
Last winter was the hardest our
company has experience during its
existence; but our service to YOU was
better than it was some years ago
during mild winters. This is simply
an illustration of what we are ac-
complishing and the work is no where
near finished yet.
I'VE will never be entirely satisfied
until we can give Won practically the
same service out here some seventy
miles by wire from our power plants
that We give in Reno, where one of
onr plants is located"
