Unfair Methods.

Not for many years have such unfair
methods been adopted to elect Presi-
dent as those being used by the Wilson
managers. For instance. states in
which women vote are being flooded
with circulars designed to deceive. One
says. Woodrow Wilson voted for
woman suffrage in New Jersey in 1915.
Charles Evans Hughes has not voted
at all since 1910" OF course the DEM
ocratic managers know that is an es-
tablished precedent. violated only once
in 30 years, that no Supreme Court
justice shall vote and that Mr.. Hughes
became a justice a month before the
fall elections of 1910; but they think
they can deceive the woman voters
who may not know that.
Another circular is headed 1.-Two Suf-
frage Statements in 1885,. On one side
is MISQUOTED Mr.. Wilson's state
ment as follows: Il intend to vote for
woman suffrage in New Jersey because
l believe that the time has come to ex-
tend that privilege and responsibility
to the women of the nation. Mr.. Will
son said "STATE"-not nation. On the
ether side, over the name Of Mr..
Hughes, is merely a question mark ().
OF course the Democratic managers
know that Mr.. Hughes was Justice
of the Supreme Court in 1915 and that
it would have been highly improper for
MIN to express his views on woman
suffrage; but they think the women
voters won't know and that, being
women, they can deceive them.

1t is interesting to note that the
hunting season opened in New York
state on Saturday, Sept 30 and not
Oct. as in the State of Maine.

mad an interesting experience on the
road from Rangeley to Phillips this
week. when a partridge flew from
the side OF the road into a front wheel
OF the car. He stopped the last dops
OF the bird with a few well directed
blows, fastened him to the hood and
continued his journey.
1t is rather early to predict how
the season will pan out in regard to
the number Of deer shot. but reports
from many successful hunters in all
parts OF the State indicate that it
will not fall far behind in. the num-
Der of deer bagged. It is certain
that many more bear are in the State
than ever before and already a goodly
number have fallen. The bear will
probably in measure take the place of
the moose which may not be shot until
1913 and nice bear rug Is a pretty
good trophy.
Reports from all sections of the
State indicate that the closed time on
moose is getting in its work and that
there is a good chance to save the
monarch which many thought a couple
years ago too near.y exterminated to
save. Practically every day comes the
report OF moose being seen where a
couple years ago they were unknown.
This may mean that the few left. are
changing their habitat. but as the
regions are widely separated it must
indicate an increase in numbers. Old
Town, Bangor and West Minot have
been recently favored with visits ana

And We passed its creaky door,

Juggling dinner pals and states,
Also hockey clubs and skates.

Oh. that counter was a sight,
Oft l think Of it at night,
In my dreams,
How we children used to shout,
AS our pennies tumbled out,
Copper streams.
Well, the old man raked them in,
Stuffed us kids full to the. chin,
With his dope.
Striped sticks and candy dogs.
Spotted trout and streaky frogs,
Past all hope.

High Compliment to Farmers Union.


In another column we are publishing
the letter Of Hon. Charles A. Lyman,
general organizer of the Agricultural
Organization Society with headquar-
tiers at Madison. Wis. Mr.. Lyman was
sent to Maine to investigate the organ
izing methods and control Of the
Farmers Union Of Maine" regarding
which other agricultural organizations
throughout tine country are beginning
to hear. We learned of Mr.. Lyman's
visit to Maine and promptly requested
summary of his findings for the ben
efit Of our readers. 1t seemed to us
! an excellent means of seeing ourselves
as others see US. That we could secure
frank opinion from so high a source
seemed well worth while. And the let
ter We are publishing is in substance,
what Mr.. Lyman told his people in the
North Central states on his return to
Wisconsin after studying conditions in
Maine and what the farmers of our
State are doing under competent lead
ership.
We need not more than refer to the
gulf that opened between the Farmers
Union of Maine and the Maine Depart
ment of Agriculture under the present
commissioner of agriculture. All who
know anything about it know that it
existed, and that it was unfortunate,
reerettable and needless; that it proved
costly to both the Department and the
Union. and that it will. without the
shadow Of doubt be promptly bridged
rs soon as a new commissioner is in
cause this newspaper has consistently
and loyalty stood by the Farmers Tn ;.
ion and it's able manager, believing
that they were entitled to the support
Of every State department, and Of ev-
cry Maine interest. Now our po-
sition is indicated by an able investi-
gator from outside the State and be-
yond the question Of selfish purpose.
At this point it may be of interest to
note that as a result of Mr.. Lyman's
visit to Maine. Manager c. E. Embree
OF the Farmers Union of Maine has
been elected a director Of the National
Conference on Marketing and Farm
Credit and will attend the fourth ma
tional conference Of that body at Chi
caso next December. Mr.. Embree also
was informed by wire from Springfield
on Tuesday. of this week, that he had
been elected one Of the finance COM
mittee Of the NeweEngland Conference
on City and Country Life. This is an
outcome of the Eastern States Agricul-
tur2l and Industrial Exposition at
Springfield. He was urged to be pres
ent on Wednesday but owing to a
meeting Of the Camden farmers union
Springfield for Thursdays sessions.
In our opinion all this Is a compli-
ment to the Farmers Union of Maine,
Of which the Union, the farming inter-
ests and the State should be proud.
We hope every farmer. at least.
whether he be a member Of farmers
union or not. will read what Mr.. Ly-
man has to say to the West of the
Farmers Union Of Maine.

E. r. Kneeland recently picked a

Chad was overheard telling about
some currant bushes alongside the fish
pond at his farm and he apparently
told the story just as though it was
really so. He said, said he:
"Oh, yes, l have some pretty good
currant bushes. They didn't get much
attention last spring, l was so busy
fishing and hunting, SO the worms got
onto them and stripped off all the
leaves, but the bushes paid no atten-
ton and bore an unusually fine crop
Of berries. Then along came another
set of leaves and the bushes began re-
peating the operation. In the course of
time an early frost took off the second
crop of leaves, but, what do you think
the bushes kept at work and the last
time | looked at 'em, last week, the
third set of leaves, perhaps half an
inch or SO long, was coming along Just
as though it was spring. We expect to
have ripe currants for Christmas"
Then he said, said he: But that's
nothing to what saw on a neighbours
place. Why, on Monday, Oct. Is, they
picked from the pea vines in their gar
der mess of delicious green peas and
had them for dinner. Their garden
was not planted until July IL and I
guess they will have green stuff from
1t all winter long. Green corn has a
daily place on their bill Of fare, but
they picked a lot of that a short time
ago and have it stored in a cold, dark
place, where 1t is keeping as nicely as
can be-"
And then he modestly closed by say
ing: Yes. suppose that the vicinity
OF that fish pond is the greatest farm
ing country in the State of Maine"
