Scientists Become Educators.

Thousands OF chemical experts. rep
resenting industrial interests worth
three billions of dollars. have this
week captivated the crowds that
thronged their annual exhibition in
this city. Although much Of the de-
liberation of this learned body is too
technical for the average man. this
year the sponsors for the show have
added popular features that are bring
ing many OF the marvels of chemical
science plainly before the layman.
With many movie shows and labora-
tory exhibitions Of the arts Of chemis-
try, the men Of science have met and
captured the common crowd.
Science is no longer a vehicle with
which to awe the masses. Meaning
less terms and forbidding words have
been reduced to educational worth.
Today we turn to scientists for leader

Unsound Political Reasoning
CPresque Isle Star-Herald)


The other day a young business man
from the Southern part Of the State,
a Republican, expressed his cordial ap-
proval Of what Maine achieved In the
recent election, with the exception that
he would have been glad, he said, to
see Senator johnson reelected. Such
a preference shows a queer flaw IN
otherwise sound political reasoning and
sentiment.
The clean sweep Maine made in the
September tug of war, was the beauty
Of the thing, and the handsomest
thing Maine did was to elect two Re-
publican Senators. There is no doubt
of the election Of Hughes-the drift
is Enthusiastically in his direction-there
is no doubt Of the Republicans having
a majority in the House of Represent
atives. There is doubt, however, about
the Senate, and Names contribution
through the defeat of Johnson and the
election Of Hale to the great end
sought, Republican control of the Sen
ate, was a notable and very handsome
performance.
If every doubtful state does as well
as Maine, Hughes will have in the
Senate cooperation instead Of OBJ
struction to the carrying out of such
Republican policies as protection and
other vital matters. If he does not
have a Republican Senate. the admin
istration will be pretty effectually
crippled and hampered.

Welcome "Our Boys"

Our boys are coming home!
That is good news to us all and the
cause Of heartfelt rejoicing in many
families. Let us rejoice with those
mothers and fathers, wives, sweet
hearts, children of the men who were
sent away for border service. They
have been gone three months today
'Friday.)
But in our gladness that these young
men are coming home, let us remember
to extend our sympathy to the homes
where the boys will not return with
their regiment. These homes have felt
the merciless hand Of war, just as
much as any European home where
the son has responded to his country's
call and died on the field Of honor. The
missing lads from the Second Maine
regiment died in the service
And what has it all accomplished?
National guardsmen from all over the
country have been marched up hill
and then marched down again.. They
have had their taste Of "watchful
waiting" on the Mexican border. 1t has

good Mr.. Wilson's incapacity to per-
ceive the necessity for military pre-
paredness during more than two years
of his administration, and to the
guardsmen who responded patriotically
to the call to arms. sacrificing their
business, their employment. In many
instances the business prospects gained
by years Of hard and faithful toll, and
subjecting their families to privation,
all the loss they have sustained Is a
dead loss No one will recompense
them for it, They must simply offer 1t
UP as the tribute irrevocably exacted
of them by Wilsonian vacillation and
Democratic inefficiency.

Tuesdays Strange Totals.
(Boston Heral6

Not least Of the anomalies Of Tues
days halloting was the larger vote OF
the Republicans-even though they
had no contest on the state ticket
except that over auditor-an insig'
nif1cant Office which should be flleo
bv appointment. On that question
however, 100000 Republicans expressed
an opinion. This modest total con-
trasts with the $1,000 votes which the
Democrats cast in a contest of vital
character, involving the prestige OF
their leaders, and closely related to
Mr. Fxtzgerald's candidacy for the Sen
ate.
It is further significant that the
Democratic falling off came IN the
rural vote. In Boston $4,000 Democrats
entered the primary against $1,000 Re-
publicans, or more than the natural
ratio Of the Democratic to the total
vote.
OF course, minor contests, even
though for legislative nominations
help to bring out full vote. The Re-
publicans in the 14th district, for ex-
ample, threw $4,000 votes. or more
than double the ratio for the state
OF such subordinate contests the
Democrats seemed to have the larger
number, particularly in the legisla'
tive districts. 1t Is all the more sur
prising then that their total, as re-
vealed in the race for Governor, fell SO
far below that on the other side.

To "Dle Like a Dog"

War is filed with deeds of heroism
and It Is an unusual man who can so
stand out above his fellows as to be
mentioned in the official dispatches for
bravery. But Marquis. the regimental
dispatch dog Of the Twenty-third
French Infantry, has received that
honor. During battle 1t became ne
cessary for the colonel to send mes
sage to his superior. No man could
cross the bullet swept zone and live,
so the duty fell to Marquis. He raced
through the hail Of shot, and had al
most reached his objective when he
was struck by German bullet which
knocked him down, badly wounded.
He struggled to his feet, however, and
dragged himself to where the officer
stood behind the French entrench-
ments. AS the message was taken
from him he toppled over dead. A
monument is to be erected to his
memory by the soldiers. on which will
be inscribed, "Marquis-Killed on the
Field of Honor."-The American Boy.
A German officer is quoted: IF a
man dies like a dog he dies like
Christian hero"
Numberless authentic accounts of the
faithfulness to duty which had been
shown them by human friends, are re-
corded the world over. and
who that knows a real dog doubts
that the average dog would die fight
ing for his friends?
Who so loyal to his friends or so
conscientious in the duty he has been
taught, as the dog? And sometimes
their grasp of the right and appro-
pirate is amazing to humanity.

the offender. The young man, some
what startled or amused, or both,

out toward the swiftly approaching
dog. The collie halted at just the
distance to take the apple and then

Son Succeeds Fathers Successor.

The mention Of the defeat Of Hon.
Eugene Hale, for the House. in the fall
elections Of 3S years ago Q87s) and the
fact that he is still living, recalls that
he entered the House in 1869. serving
five successive terms, through 1899,
giving him fine equipment for his sub
seouent brilliant career. He came
back" but not Immediately. AS Rep
resentative from Ellsworth he was
elected to the Maine House and in the
troublous days Of the count OUT was
enabled to render great service to his
party and the State. He was first
elected to the Senate 18S1-1SS7, serving
up to 1911, when he was succeeded oy
Charles F. Johnson, whose term ex-
tends to March 1917. 1t is surely a
coincidence that the successor of the
father is to be succeeded by the son Of
the Senator whom Johnson succeeded,
the father still being an inhabitant OF
this terrestrial sphere, and Mrs. Hale
enjoying the proud distinction Of being
the daughter, wife and mother OF Un-
tied States Senators. With an elegant
home at the national capital. over
which she has so long presided, she
will be able, in the near future. to roy
ally entertain the bachelor son Sena-
tor, and likewise in the same home
make the declining years of the former
Senator more agreeable than they
otherwise might have been.

Outcome of the War in Europe.
. Kennebec Journal:

Editor Kennebec Journal:
Why do not people see The Hand
writing on the Wall? I will make it
clear When Christ came to earth he
found a wretched condition. Four
fifths of the people were slaves. One
man who was called King Herod. had
absolute power to command. No one
had a right to question his decree. If
he ordered one of his slaves to cruelty
a man, no matter how trivial the Of
fence, he must obey. 1t might be that
a slave had stolen loaf of bread to
satisfy his hunger; and that might
have been the case with the thieves
on the cross with Jesus. 1t is related
of Herod that one of his slaves killed
a pet raven. The kind ordered him to
be crucified. AS his groans disturbed
him. he ordered a spear thrust into his
side to quiet him. At this time no
slave dreamed that his soul was his
own. They were taught that the king
was a favorite of the Almighty, and
that this condition continued after
death. Therefore they dared not dis
obey his command.
When Jesus came he taught that we
are all the children of one Father, and
that God is mo RESPECTER OF
PERSONS" This at once raised the
standard Of mankind and caused them
to believe that all were children of the
King, and that all that is good and
beautiful was made for their enjoy
ment and pleasure while on earth.
Our next great lesson was when
kingly oppression eliminated in the
French Revolution. The French peo-
pie had been taxed until the worm
turned. When the outraged people
surrounded the palace and called for
the queen, she came out on the bal
cony leading her two children. boy
eighteen years old who witnessed 1t,
rose up and said, 1.-The ruff1ans, they
ought to be moved down with grape
shot" We have all read how the
armies of Napoleon strewed France
with corpses, and terrified the whole
world: yet monarchial government
was destroyed and when Napoleon
tried to establish it anew he was de-
feated, and sent to the Isle of st. He
lena, where he died.
Our next lesson Is the American
War against slavery. When oppres-
sion reaches a certain point there
comes DIVINE lQCcTpOSilAOh lHoI uSS0
troys it. When Lafayette visited
America, he said that he was sur
prised to find a great number OF the
slaves white or partly white. Men were
enslaving their own children, and
slave had no right that white man
was bound to respect. If they saw a
master kill a slave their testimony
passed for naught.
It cost thousands of precious lives
to destroy this crime Of injustice and
oppression.
The war in Europe has spread like
a contagion, and it will continue until
monarchial governments are destroyed,
and the poor shall no longer be taxed
to support nobility. The nations OF
Europe shall be governed by laws
made "BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR
THE PEOPLE," Every man shall feel
himself entitled to the highest office to
which his government chooses to elect
him. Then every citizen will be a
member Of the ROYAL FAMILY.
