by years of hard and faithful toll, and
subjecting their families to privation,
all the loss they have sustained is q
dead loss. No one will recompense
them for it, They must simply offer it
up as the tribute irrevocably exacted
Of them by Wilsonian vacillation and

swept the State. 1t is not surprising
that there is rejoicing in the Republi-
can camp Since 1904, the Republican
governors have been elected in Maine
by pluralities of less than 5000. In
1910 the Democrats electer the Gov
ernor by 1888 and again in 1914 BY
3,177. Now the Republicans have
elected the governor by vote larger
than the combined Republican and
Progressive vote of two years ago.
Had the Republican and Progressivcs
been united in 1912, Woodrow Wilson
would have been defeated by 1900, 900
votes. The Republicans and Progress
sives are now united.

ulatA> the country and flicitate myself.
This Mas the statement of President
Wilson las, seated before the movie
camera. he signed the Child Labor bill.
And now the bill he signed proves to
be fraud and fake. 1t forbids ship
ment out of state of the product of
a cannery, miSl. factory. etc. "in
which, within thirty days prior to the
removal of such( product" from the
cannery, factory or mill, etc, children
have been employed or permitted to
work Therefore, all the Gamer, mill
operator or manufacturer need do is to
hold his product of child labor for
thirty days and he can ship it where
he pleases. There is nothing in the
law to prevent. TO eanneries, which
employ great numbers of(children, this
law will prove especially convenient.
Canneries pack their product during
an extremely short season, Under Mr.,
Wilson's widely advertised Child La
Dor Law, they can pursue their normal
course and need only follow their GUS
tomary practice of holding their goods
thirty days before shipment, to escape
the prohibition of the law 1t was one
of Mr.. Wilson's Democratic henchman
in the Senate who substituted this pro-
vision for the really effective provision
which had been adopted in the House,
The effort of the Wilson administra-
ton to deceive the public into believ-
ing that the Democratic ladministra-
ton had passed and the President had
signed real Child Labor Law, when
in fact 1t has done nothing of the kind,
has served to recall the fact that be-
fore he entered the White House Mr..
Wilson. denounced the utilization of
the commerce clause of the Constitu-
ton to regulate child labor in the
most scathing terms, and serves to
confirm, the Republican contention
that he fathered fake bill merely to
gain votes on election day.

THE CUBIC STONE
indianapolis Newsl


To keep in touch with the news Of
the world, which is now bringing forth
a stranger array of words from all the
corners Of the earth, one must needs
have the knowledge of a Mezzofanti
or be the possessor OF polyglot die
tionary. The war between the Turks
and Arabians has released a number
OF words, some of which, like the Ara
bian terms. "alkali." algebra" "as-
trology." &c, may in time be adopted
into our language. Here is the Arabic
word "kaaba." "the cubic stone;" this
is the stone which. according to Mo-
hammedan tradition, was brought by
Adam from Paradise and became
black through the sins of men. The
stone is at Medina II is raised by the
pilgrims who come from great dis
lance TO kiss It. II has been called,
lrreyently, the blarney stone to Ma
homet At the side OF the tomb Of
Mahomet is a tomb awaiting Jesus,
whom the Mussulmans regard as one
OF their prophets.

As Burton Sees It-senator Burton
Of Ohio, who has been campaigning in
Maine, has this to say about the re-
suit; Every resource was employed
by the Democrats to carry the State.
The plurality of Mr. Wilson has been
during the last few weeks at its height.
In the fact of these conditions the re-
suit is extremely significant. Such a
pronounced victory, so unexpected by
those who took conservative view OF
the Maine situation, must nave a
marked influence on the November
election. The confidence of the Re-
publicans in the election of Hughes
has been greatly strengthened. Unless
some wholly unforeseen adverse in
luence develops, victory is assured.
Not to mention others, It is evident
that the speeches Of Mr.. Hughes and
Colonel Roosevelt were productive of
farreaching results"

His declaration to this effect has led
to the remark that Wilson victory"

as Wilson peace" results In more
loss Of life than a Mckinley war, as a
Wilson labor law, in operation hurts

Editorial Comments.

The Democrats continue to ignore
Mr.. Hughes speeches to the extent
that all they do is to sputter and gasp.
Let 1t be conceded there are really
strong grounds for the opinion that
President Wilson may carry Texas
next November. If these indications
are taken at their full worth, some
enthusiasts will soon be going out to
bet that the tide will sweep on until
Mississippi and Alabama are also en-
rolled In the Democratic column.
Many big Democrats willing ana
ready to speak for Wilson are carel
full that their money shall not say any
thing on his side.
President Wilson says he is utter
ly Indifferent rs to his reelection.
Perhaps that explains II good many
things nobody has heretofore been
able to understand.
