Newspaper Comment.

The New York World, independent
Democratic newspaper. commenting
on the election, said: Neither the
Democrats nor the Republicans have
much to brag about. 1t was inevitable
that Maine should go Republican. The
only question was the size of the ma
jority. The Republican majority was
anything but decisive. If Maine is a
barometer of the national election,
the national election is still on the
knees of the gods. 1t is evident, how
ever, that the Democrats obtained a
percentage of the Progressive vote
which, If they can hold it, is large
enough to turn the scale in the ma
tional election"
Representing the other viewpoint,
the New York Tribune, Republican,
said: "If Names vote truly repre-
sents conditions throughout the coun-
try, Wilson's chances for reelection
have become almost negligible" But
the New York Times, more independ-
ent in it's views, asserted: "The vote
in Maine does not decide the presi-
Dental election, and, with the great
est landslide in years. Is no indication
of the final decision"

MILLIONS SPENT FOR AMERICAN FILMS
English Newspapers Would En-
 courage in This Direction

Corr espondence of The Associated Press
 London, Feb. 25.-There is re- newed discussion of the proposal that the government prohibit importation of moving picture films, both as a means of national economy and as a step toward building up home in Gustry in the movie field
 Nine-tenths of all the films shown in England are imported from the United States and France. It is esti- mated that thetrade with American finn producers sends to the United States no less than Sl0,000,000 a year, thus helping to build up a foreign trade balance against Great Britain and taking much gold out of the country.
 Advocate Ban.
 England is taking to her economies reluctantly and there is a wide diver sencc of views as to the moving pie ture or "cinema' theaters as they are called here. Several of the leading London newspapers arc advocating the ban against the imported film and have grown OutspOken in their de- nunciation of the American product in particular. While admitting that
 
 the States are meritorious they assert that "Rattiesnakc Pctc," "Broncho E;ll." and other "cow person" dramas prcdominate in tho American field end arc quite unntolligiblc to our pCOple.''
 Favor American Films.
 But the American "moVic' has s;aunch friends and it is asserted that 
 the theaters throughout the British Isles would be forced to close. The English productions could not begin 10 fill the demand and it is said that tho Industry never could grow to great proportions here because the light and atmospheric conditions can not compare to those ii California and other parts of the United States. Those in opposition to the film impor- tation, however, claim that Great Britain can lead the world in this in Gustry as in many others. There are about 5000 moving pie ture theaters in the Kingdom and their billboards all proclaim Ameri- can productions. Most of the Ameri- cen film stars have their distinctive following in England. Spend Millions ! Tn urging that American films be Larred, the influential London Times says:
 we are buying American films to the extent of $1O,000,000 at a time when there are only two legitimate objects on which British money should be spent.
 1 One of these objects is the promo ton of victory in the field; the other, which is closely allied, is the pro- 1 motion of a sound national spirit in : the people at home. The importation ! of American films, so far from pro- l noting either of these objects, is a 1 direct obstacle to both. Nor do these films, obtained at such cost, promote | the national well-being.

BRITISH JOURNALS NOW CONTAIN NEWS
War Has Taught the Virtue Of
 "Boilin6 Down"

Correspondence of The Associated Press) London, March 22-Londoners are , getting their daily news in more con- densed form than ever before in history. It was never served up to them in anything like the manner in the United States where the head lines come pretty close to conveying the story, but an effort at terseness and conciseneSs has cen made ,n the telling of the story that is quite an innovation in journalism here. The change was made necessary by the regulations governing the i1nporta- ton of paper--a measure of economy brought on by the War-which re- duced the supply of print paper and which resulted in the publishers of the great dailies deciding to cut down the size of their edition to about one-half of what they were before March l last when the law became operative.
 The public was prepared for the change through the papers which for weeks in advance published no- tices calling upon their readers to order their paper each day in advance of their newsdea1er. The readers were
 
 paper it would be impossible in tho future fully to provide for a chance demand for newspapers. In other words only enough papers to meet the known demand would be run off the presses.
 While the news restrictions ap- piled to all papers the newspaper in- dustry was the most seriously af- fected. Papers which formerly were twelve pages in size were cut down to six. An early effort was made also to curtail the size of the ar ticles and to tell more in fewer words something after the style Of the American papers.
 The regulations which were form ulatcd by the Royal Commission on Paper provided that on and after March l no paper or paper-maklnS could be imported by any pel sons other than those licensed by the commission. Licenses could EG granted to paper makers to import during the twelve months commence ing with March 1 two thirds Of the weight of imported materials which they consumed in 1914.

Jorlty Of them are concerned with little that is of good report for they portray an atmosphere of crime and intrigue and back-stairs humor in the crude colors of a sham romance"
 The importers of American films have suggested to the producers in the United States that all amounts received in London, less office and other expenses, for American films shall be invested in oNchequer bonds or war loans and placed with the Bank of England under an undertake ing that they shah mo- be sold untl six months after the war. Such an arrangement they point out would be in the interest of national economy which is the reason for the threat to bar foreign films

Is SERIOUSLY INJURED

Wednesday night of last week M.
t. Foley received q severe injury to
his left leg that will probably leave
him cripple for the remainder OF
his life. He had spent the day at
work on his farm, returning home In
the evening. After placing his auto
in the garage, he ate his supper, az
ter which he started down town to
attend to some business. It seems
that during Mr.. Foley's absence, the
paving gang had cut out the cement
sidewalk and part Of the steps Lead
ing to the Foley home and dug a
trench about two feet deep for the
curbing. AS the night was dark, and
no danger signal displayed Mr.. Foley
fell into te trenhch repturing the un-
der side of his left knee and inuring
his back and neck. The physician
who attended him placed the limb In
a plaster cast and 1t will be six Or
more weeks before the extent OF the
injury can be determined. This is in
deed a very unfortunate accident for
Mr.. Foley, as at this time of the year
he has a great deal Of work to look
after. All trust that the outcome
will be better than is now anticipated.

LEFT FOR PARTS UNKNOWN

T. E. Shea, who has been conduct
ing a barber shop in the Park Hotel
left rather unceremoniously the fore
part Of the week. He came here about
a year ago In company with a woman
whom everyone supposed was his
wife. Several weeks ago she left and
since then all sorts of rumors have
been afloat but no one seems to have
learned the real facts. The man may
have been charged with many things
that were not true, but he certainly
conducted himself in such manner
that he was subjected to severe crit
icism. Into the stories that are
afloat is drawn the names of Audi
bon parties and from present indica-
tions, the end is not yet. .
Mr.. Shea carried himself like a
gentleman until the woman left, and
had in fact gained the confidence of
many Of the business men.

VOTERS ARE AWAKE

One of the lessons of the Maine ell
ection is that the voters are not in
fluenced by the fallacious plea that
Mr.. Wilson has kept us out Of war"
This mainstay of the Democratic
campaign has been shattered. 1t has
been perfectly plain to all students of
international affairs that when such
contiguous countries as Norway,
Sweden, Denmark, Holland and
Spain remained out of the contest, it
was preposterous to assume that the
United States would have any diff
Guilty in staying out. Only the poor
est kind of laundering could have in
volved this country. The Democratic
leaders thought however, that they
could make the voters believe that
by the exercise of rare diplomatic
skill the president had kept us out
of the war. The voters of Maine did
not fall for a confidence game so
crude as that, and there is no likeli-
hood that the plea will be made to
work better elsewhere. Another thing
the voters in Maine were not misled
by the claim everything" tactics Of
the democratic campaigners. From
the president on down the democratic
leaders have been parading a long
line of pretended accomplishments
and have been ignoring the still long
Ter line of broken promises. 1t was
their expectation that by thus max
ing assertions they could gain credit
for alleged accomplishments and d.
vert attention from their disregard of
platform pledges. 1t did not work.
1t was evident that the voters know
that it was the Aldrich-Vreeland act
that saved us from a panic at the
time of the outbreak of the war, and
that the federal reserve act admit
teddy unsound in the form in which
the administration offered 1t, was
given it's meritorious features by the
Republicans. 1t is manifest that the
voters of Maine regard the Republi-
can party as the constructive party
of the United States and that they
prefer to trust it with legislative and
Executive power, rather than contin-
|ue in Office the party which makes
promises only to break them and bas-
es its claims for continued favor up
on assertions that have no founda-
|tion in fact. In fact, 1t would be
hard to find anything among the laws
they have passed, with the one ex-
ception of the tariff act, upon so
many of which they base their ex-
pectation of public approval, that are
not either directly or indirectly con-
trary to the traditions and the plat
form utterances Of the Democratic
party. Tulsa World. ':r.-

A WELL BALANCED TICKET

In all sections Of the country 1t is q
recognized fact that the republicans
have this year nominated q we'll bal.
anced ticket and from present indica-
lions they will be generally supported
at the polls in November,
H. j. Mantz for Representative,
Hans Albertsen is the candidate for
treasurer. G. c. Larson, for auditor;
John Horning for Clerk Of the Courts
Ella Farquhar for recorder, Frank
Wilson for sheriff, DR.. Newton for
coroner, j. H. Maharg and Al Miller
for members of the board Of SUPER
visors. Practically all Of them are
widely known and need no introduce
ton from us. They are business men
and business women and each is well
qualified to fill the position for which
they have been nominated by the
party. . ..
The Republican is pleased to sup
port ticket of this kind and we find
that the people have confidence In the
candidates and are working for their

ly a republican county and It Is only
reasonable to suppose that the ticket
will be successful.
