What We Owe to Maine.

Let all her sister states thank Maine
for one thing. She tried out many
stumpers, and sent them away in i'm
proved form for their work elsewhere
They know now better than before the
comparative values of national topics
and how to present them to popular au-
diences All did their best in the Pine
Tree state, we may believe. They noted
the things that seemed to have the
.punch." and those that seemed to lack
it, and in their journeys around between
now and election day will be able to
apply the information thus gained. In
other words, the stumpers, having served
sort of apprenticeship in Maine, will
be the surer of tongue henceforth.
Both parties drew on other sections
literally for orators. Middle states men,
western men and southern men appeared.
Practical takers, fowery takers, all
kinds of takers, made appeals for votes.
Arithmetical figures and figures of
speech jostled one another in the nu-
nlerous and luminous talkfests. Alto
gether, Maine had such talking to as
seldom if ever before.
Distributing orators over the country
in this way is an excellent thing, both
for instruction and for entertainment.
Maine gets an illustration of how the
trick is turned in Idaho and Illinois,
and in New York and Kentucky, say, and
later the people of those states win get
an idea of how the trick is turned in
Maine For now these Maine winners
have been released for service at dis
tance, and will do their bit in localities
new to them.
Of the four foremost Maine speakers
of the past thirty years only one was
well known to audiences west of the
Alleghenies. Mr.. Blaine was a great
favorite everywhere, and enjoyed his
stumping experiences. Mr.. Reed, Mr..
Frye and Mr.. Hale were too little
known there, and missed, as did that
wide section. much pleasure. All three
in their prime were very effective on
the stump, and being men Of broad
vision and sympathies would have been
at home in any state and before an in
teiligent audience anywhere.
Not all topics are of equal interest in
all the states in national campaigns
But there is one topic which when prop
erly presented never fails, and that is
the advancement and prosperity of this
country. In the large and true sense,
We are one people; and from Maine to
Texas, from New York to California, an
appeal to national pride and duty never
goes without a sympathetic response.

Mr.. Hughes and Labor.

staff correspondent of The Star.
writing from New York. says:
''An aftermath feature of the election
Of general bearing is the expected con
tinrance of Mr.. Hughes and the repub-
lean national management along the
present lines of campaign. including
criticism of the coercion ased in enact
ing the eight hour wage scale for the
railway employees. Mr.. Hughes made a
decided hit with his attitude on that
question in Maine. Toward the close
after Samuel Gompers had taken the
other end of the proposition. Candidate
Hale go. cold feet on the Hughes ar
Effnent, fearing its effect upon labor
lie was overruled. The politicians here
say the outcome iustifes Mr.. Hughes
position. which viii probably become one
Of the leading republican issues"
Mr.. Hughes showed both sagacity and
ens,rag showed real leadership. He
accepted challenge which had been is
sued in the interests Of Mr.. Wilson. The
presence Of Mr. Gompers on the stump
in Maine was the challenge. Having as
sisted in the hold-up legislation here, the
repaired al once to the field of campaign
activity for the purpose of capitalizing
that measure into votes.
But the maneuver failed. Discussion
of the so-caIled eight-hour law revealed
is vague and unsatisfactory character,
and left for the voters to consider only
The revolutionary method of its enact
ment The proposition of government
by threat for the benefit of a class did
NOT favorably impress the Maine elec-
torate.
hfr. Hughes reasoned correctly on two
points: ~ A plain statement of the
case, and no dodging or pussyfooting,
was the right and seif-respecting course,
and t2) the labor vote was not deliver
able by anybody. The result sustained

him. As usual, with all the facts be-
fore it, labor did its own thinking, ar
rived at its own conclusion, and depos-
tied its own ballot. There is every rea-
son to believe, too, that, as usual, the
labor vote was divided, democrats and
republicans alike recording themselves
according to their views of the issues
in general.
Mr.. Taft, it will be remembered, was
under fire in 1908 because of certain acts
OF his while he was on the bench which
certain labor leaders were constituting
for campaign purposes as inimical to
organized labor. But the candidate
neither lodged nor ran away. He stood
to the record and explained it, and at
the election polled a heavy vote in every
labor center. He convinced great num-
bers Of wage-earners that he was not,
and never had been, an enemy of labor,
organized or unorganized; and they
voted for him against the advice of some
very prominent labor leaders.
The labor vote never has been deliv-
cred, is not deliverable now, and never
will be deliverable, by any labor leader,
or coterie of leaders. The candidate for
any Office who negotiates to that end
gets gold brick, and deserves what he
gets. All the progress that labor has
made-and it has been considerable
has been through the preservation by
those who work with their hands of their
individuality and independence at the
polls.

and descriptions of those who could not
absolve themselves from question and
who were missing had been sent out
through the country. In every city and
town the police were watching. Names
mean nothing to the sleuths Of the law
They can be easily changed. But faces
are hard to change, though science has
done much toward altering features
Scars, however, are ineradicable. This
man Waltonen had a scar on his right
index finger, a conspicuous place for a
mark. Into his chair one day recently
came man from Waukegan, who had
ehanced to see one of the circulars cali
ing for Waltonen's apprehension and
who remembered that the finger scar was
mentioned. A barber has little chance
to hide his hands, and Waltonen's tell
tale mark was noted. The Waukegan
man notified the police, and Waltonen
was arrested and Immediately acknowl-
edged his identity.
The chance of a criminal whose per-
sonality is known, and especially one
who has left any sort of record with the
police, escaping is very slight. He may
60 for weeks or months or even years,
but so complete is the system of circu-
larization that thousands of people are
soon on the watch for him. In this case
Waltonen made the mistake of showing
his hands Perhaps he did not know
that his finger scar was known to the
New York police. Had he taken up a
trade that did not require him to show
his fingers he might have continued in
liberty much longer, but eventually he
would probably have been caught.

The Weather Man,

The weather man once more doth show
A smile all free from sorrow,
As he proceeds to let us know
The climate for tomorrow
Though "storm" or "shine" he boldly
sings,
He soothes our deep detection
Because he talks Of airy things
Apart from the election.
No more his utterance we regard
AS gravely astronomic.
His words, 'mongst rumors grim and
hard,
Seem positively comic.
Perhaps he'll be, in course of time,
A truly merry fellow,
And clothe his thoughts in quip or rhyme
As fits a punchinello.

"Kitchener's Mob. I"

From the PhIlade1phia Ledgcr.
Kitchener would have seen more evi-
dence of his preparative toll in the per-
sonal equation of the fighting along the
Somme. The Internal storm of shell has
fallen till one of the ruined villages is
described as an Iron and lead mine and
instead of lines of trenches the landscape
is hugely pockmarked with the craters
the great guns have made.

President Wilson amused the ladies at
the suffrage convention by reciting a

whiskers as decoration or habit.

WILD ALLIGATOR A
COURTHOUSE OMEN
Joined Democratic "JasSack;" May
Mean Defeat for
Candidates.

The Democratic jassack in the
courthouse has company.
When judges, clerks and officials
came down to work yesterday morning
they found that in some manner
real live alligator had picked out the
cool cement floor of the basement
upon which TO crawl about. The
animal is about eighteen inches long
and has been adopted as the mascot
of the courthouse.
How the alligator came to be found
in such an unlooked-for place is con-
siderable of a mystery. The popular
theory is that it was placed there by
some wag who wanted to have some
fun while others believe that it may
have wandered away from a park and
made the journey here to see how
politics is played by officeholders.
In any event the alligator is there
and II is going to stay.

At 500 yesterday afternoon, Pitch
er Clyde Geist and his battery pal
He'd Moore, both odoriferous and we'll
washed in perspiration, left the ball
diamond and visited the small drink
ing pit under the grand stand where
they celebrated the seventh straight
victory for the aforesaid Mister Geist,
with a couple of bottles of bevo. In
cidentally the receiver swallowed
heartily once over his own good for
tune in being grappled by the Fort
Worth Texas moguls.
And as a matter of fact the two Pro-
ducers had every reason to celebrate
the beavers performance. Cheered
by sympathetic grand stand and
with his feet on friendly earth again,
Geist used zip to his fast one and
q dip to his careening drop and con-
tnued his unbeaten march along the
white-limed highway by masticating
the Fort Smith Twins thoroughly by
a score of to 0. 1t was a neat and
tasty lacing and left nothing TO the
Imagination.
But while we trim the laurel tree
for wreaths for the mound-dweller we
must not for an instant forget that
there were other Producers in the ring
and that IL was the home debut of
Tulsa banner bearers The curtain
raiser of the rejuvenated Producers
was a festive occasion and shot their
stock up many notches, in the esti-
nation OF that body of fans who es-
teen baseball along with the other
necessities of life. There is no doubt
but that with Clyde going at the gait
he was, the locals would have won
the gambol, but to the fact that he

Manager WoOley's hirelings per

was sadly lacking when they trailed
away from Tulsa for the last long
road Journey. Their offence, as can
be judged by the hit and run columns,
smacl<ed of the ultra, and the defense
was at times bordering on the bril-
liant and as proof of this we will cite
the work Of White at short and OF
Murphy in right field. The Michigan
colleger in the third while running to-
wards center field to head off Adams

in a final reach and while on the
run heayed towards second in time to

gracefully plucked Bloomer's twister

play from first to ninth.
The game on paper doesn't look so
Interesting. The Twins had no luck
TO speak of at all. Heitt who was
pitching for them got away with what
one might term an inauspicious start
and was shin- kicked, prodded and
poked throughout the whole route, the
Producers punching most of their hits
in the third and eighth innings. The
Twins at no time in the melee looked
like much over thirty cents and at
