Fifteen cities in Maine have
lately held municipal elections in
which pan ty lines were drawn.
Eleven of them chose Republican
mayors-and the vote showed
once more that the victorious par
ty has reunited its forces. Ev.
cry test thus fan taken IN normal
Republican territory has resulted
similarly. This is a Republican
year.

Late last fall President Wilson

Late last fall President Wilson
"hegan to prepare" his plaEs for
national defense. He endorsed
plans worked out by Secretary of
War Garrison and later refused
to stand by those plans, though
espousirg no others. Five com
mittees of Congress have spent
three months hearing testimony
from students of the subject, in
Guiding officers of the army and
navy. Still the problem is far
from solved. Yet, when prepar-
edness legislation shall finally be
passed, President Wilson's friends
will claim all the credit for him.

Facts for Farmers.

Before casting their ballots this
fall producers of meat and dairy
products would do we'll to consid-
er economic questions and not
permit preparedness ard foreign
policies to engross their whole at
tention. A Republican admins.
tration can take care of these lat
ter problems in a satisfactory
manner, without wobbling all ov-
er the continent, and can also es-
tablish ard maintain economic
bolicies that will promote and con-
serve the industrial interests of
the people of the United States.
The Democratic party has failed
IN handling all these government
tai problems.
Producers of meat and dairy
products should give special at
tention to economic policies be-
cause of the effect those policies
have upon them and the indus
tries in which they are engaged.

is boasting that the beet sugar
industry has not been ruined by
the Democratic tariff law. There
are just two reasons why il has
not. First, the war gave us pro-
lection and a larger market; and,
second. the final repeal of the
sugar duty was not to become
effective until May, so that, as a
matter of fact, the sugar indus
try still has a large measure OF
the protection given it by Repub-
licans. And the Democrats. will
continue that protection.

Senator Underwood declares
that he has not seen Congress
in twenty years where business
is so far behind as it is this y ear.
1t is now taken for granted that
the session will extend we'll into
the autumn; and many doubt if
an adjournment can be taken be-
fore election day. Out Of four
teen appropriation bills, only one
and that the least important
has beer passed. The President
has pleaded with his party lead
ers to expedite the administration
programme, but the incoherent
majority is unable to adjust its
internal differences and is ap-
pealihg. in turn, to the Republi-
cans to help. This is not a Re-
publican problem, however. The
Democrats yearned for power;
and having secured itthey do not
know how to employ it.

that time up to August l, 1914,
when war in Europe broke out,
our imports of these products a.
mounted to $40, O,545,512, an in
crease of over 226 per cent, and
not a cent of revenue was realized
thereon.
In the ten months from Octob-
er, 1914, to July, 1915, war per-
iOd, with Argentina, Canada, Au-
STRATA, Bermuda, and other couh-
tries sending large shipments of
these products to the belllger-
ents, our imports amoupted to
$50, ,421, ,21O, an increase of 145
per cent over 1913. While it is
true that good prices were the
rule, it was because the war held
up the prices. When the war IS
over, if we should still be cursed
with a Democratic admiristra-
ton, the free trade market of the
United States will again prove an
inviting field for our competitors,
and, as there will be no abnOr-
NAL condition to initiate prices,
the American producer must suf-
fer the effects of unbridled for
eign competition.
Why not reduce your direct
taxation by voting party into
power which will collect the nee
essary revenues at the ports from
your foreign competitors? Think
it over.

PARC PERDUE NOTES.

It is reported that some dam
age is being caused to the sugar
cane in this section by the cane
borer. The farmers were busy for
the last two weeks preparing their
lands to plant cane. The derricks
here were quite busy this week
receiving cane for the different
Tefineries. The farmers, who
have already hauled cane to the
derricks here. report that the ton
mage is far bevond their expecta-
tions. Estimates of the tonnage
Of both plant and stubble cane
vary. The farmers are surely
well pleased at the present prices
being paid for cane.
The dry weather was Of untold
value to the rice farmers in saw
ing their crops.
Cotton picking is practically
done and the crop was one Of the
shortest on record.
Labor is very scarce here and
some Of the sugar farmers are ex-
periencing much difficulty to Sc
cure the necessary labor to har-
vest their cane crops although Of
fering fancy prices for same.

TURKISH WOMEN.

Turkish women are to be count
ed among the most Industrious on
earth. They do vast amount OF
work. They make carpets, screens
for doors. work bags. horse cloth
ing and blankets.
a Turkish Girl makes all the
klbltka or tent carpets and other
household requisites before she is
married. If she gets married
without completing the task it is
expected that she will. by her
own labor. refund the money
which he parents have given her
as dowry. This usually consist
of a hundred sheep and certain
amount of money. which the
bridegroom pays to the parents of
the bride He also treats his
friends to succession of horse
races and other sports.
An important part is to deco
rate a camel with the handsomest
Trainings which are sent to the
bride. On this she goes forth to
