TO FACE AT THE FRONT

care had long confidential confer
ence with King George during the
British monarch's recent visit to the
Somme front. The visit of the King
and President to the fighting line
was coincident with the arrival of
the German Emperor on the Ger
man front.
An order found on a captured
German officer gives details of the
military review which was held be-
fore the Emperor The order di-
reefs that exhausted soldiers be sent

INCREASED COST FOR
NEWSPAPER SERVICE

Washington, Aug. 19.-The news
papers all over the country report
to the Federal Trade Commission
that unless there is relief from. the
high cost of news print paper, there
will have to be universally increased
prices put upon the newspaper SER
vice. In many cities of the country
prices to subscribers have already
been advanced, and in practically all
of the cities of the country increase
in subscription prices will soon be-
come a vital and unacceptable ne
cessity, despite the hesitancy and
the unwillingness on the part OF
publishers to take such a
stand. Despite increase in subscrip-
ton prices and advertising rates, 1t
will be necessary for newspapers
to cut down the size of their papers
unless there is relief from excessive
cost of raw materials. Already New
York and Philadelphia publishers
have materially reduced the size of
their issues.

THE SITUATION
IN MAINE VEXEO
Republicans Admit the
State Doubtful.
PROSPECTS ARE VERY BRIGHT
For Big Democratic Victory In
That ROck.Ribbed Repub.
lican Stronghold.
g. o. p. BOSSES ARE IN TANGLE

New York, Aug. 19.-In announc-
ing the result of a painstaking can
vass of the political situation in
Maine, made by James c. White, one
of the best known political writer's
of New England, the Boston Herald
Republican,, which is conducting
an earnest campaign in behalf of
Mr.. Hughes, makes the admission
that the present indications are
that the Democrats will administer
a smashing defeat to the Republi-
cans at the September State Elect
iOn."
summarizing the result of his in
vestigations, Mr.. White, who is re-
ferred to editorially to-day in the
Boston Herald as our seasoned po-
litical correspondent" says: THE
handwriting is plain upon the wall
and it is spelling defeat. And it is
going to be a defeat all the more ag-
gravating because it is unnecessary
for the reason that the Republicans,
who should know better, are at
tempting in disorganized way to
make a vital campaign against a
Democratic field composed of. Gov.
Curtis, Senator Johnson and w. r.
Pattangall, who have made organi-
cation their fetish in all campaigns"
The writer describes the Demo-
cratic organization in Maine as far
superior to that of the Republicans,
who. he asserts, lack real leader.
Continuing, he says: During the
past seventy-two hours spent in the
State, >big and little leaders have
been cOnfessing that they ARE seri-
ously worried over the governor
ship; that they are dubious about
the election of Col. Fred Hale, and
that the Hughes movement is not
working as well as they hoped"
Referring to the Democratic CAM
paign. he says: THE one unescapa-
bic fact is that at time when the
Democrats already have their cam
paign under way. with a general
manager in charge who has already
shot one bolt into the Republican
with some disastrous eff
fects, the Republicans are still fus-
sing around trying to get started.
I'm the headquarters of the Re-
publican National Committee in New
York they have no decisions as to
the Maine situation. At the time of
the Hughes notification in New York
it was discussed at some length and
feeling was that the Maine Repub-
licans should get busy and do some
thing"
The results of Mr.. Whites can
vass OF Maine are being published
in dispatches from that State. In
the article from which the above
quotations are made, the Herald an
nounces that the Maine G. o. p.
must wake up or lose the State"
In editorially commenting upon
the disclosures made by Mr.. White, |
the Herald says: 1T is difficult to |
the importance of the
outcome in Maine. 1t is a Repub-
lean State. Its failure to give a
Republican majority in /
September would throw a chill over !,
he campaign from Portsmouth TO
San Diego"
These tidings from Maine. follow
n the word from California thai
Hughes upon the eve of
lis Presidential canvass in that
State is met face to face with an ir-
econcilable breach between the Re
'ublioans and Progressives at ma
ional Republican headquarters.

Regarding Distribution OF
Official Patronage.
WORDS WITH BARK ON THEM
Replying To An Attack, Shows
Up Candidate Hughes In
Bad Plight.
THE CASE OF a GLASS HOUSE

When he was Secretary of State.
Mr.. Bryan wrote a letter to the Re-
ceiver Of Customs at Santo Domingo
inquirtng as to what positions could
be obtained for deserving Demo-
Gratis" Candidate Hughes quoted
this letter in his speeches declaring
1t shameful" and the Commoner
comes back at him like a thousand
OF brick. Mr.. Bryan says he en-
forced the civil service law to the
letter with the employees of the
state Department wherever il was in
force. but he felt free to reward de-
serving Democrats whenever IL
could be done without detriment to
the service. Then. after declaring
that Mr.. Hughes has shown himself
prompt in 'discharsing obligations"
he hands it to him thus:
When he was candidate for Gov
ernor Mr. Hughes received the sup
port of the railroads of New York,
end he generously repaid the debt
by vetoing the twO-cent passenger
rate bill He did not describe that
as shameful. When a candidate for
Governor he received the support of
the New York taX-dOdgers, the own
ers of swollen fortunes and he paid
his debt by sending a message to the
Legislature protesting against the
income tax amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution. He does not de-
scribe that as shameful.
He is now being supported by the
railroads of the United States, and
he expects to pay them back by aiding
them to escape State legislation and
find haven of security in exclusive
Federal control over the railroads.
He is being supported by the Ship
ping Trust, and expects to pay them
back by helping them 90 prevent
Government competition. He is sup
ported by the trust magnates, and
expects to pay them back by shield
ing them from punishment for the
extortion which they desire to prac-
tice. He is supported by Wall street
and expects to pay them back by
spending American blood and squan-
dering money raised by taxation in
order to guarantee profits on specu-
lative investments.
And yet. with the record which
he has made in paying his political
obligations at the expense of the
public and with the pledges his
speeches contain to those who are
now aiding his ambitions, he has the
impudence to hold up for criticism a
legitimate effort to reward compe-
tent men for the service which they
have rendered to the cause of re-
form"
This seems to have brought Mr..
Hughes to his senses as he has not
referred directly to the matter since
Mr.. Bryan's pointed structures. Mr..
seeming determined to
knock" everybody and everything
Democratic, is proving a boomerang
and lie will soon discover that to a
man who lives in such a thin glass
house as he does, it is a very fool
lsh performance to throw rocks.

How Clocks are Made.

4NOH ouoyS HCdIly CNcIy OuC
has clock or watch orIsome
timepiece. and some have sey-
eral clocks in the house, but it
was not always so. Indeed,
there was once a time when peo-
pie told" the time of day in the
queerest of ways imaginable.
The first clock was not invented
until about the middle of the
Fourteenth century; and it, pos.
sessing but one hand, was made
by German named Henri de
Vic. In this crude clock of his a
large wheel was kept in motion
by weight, gradually unwind
ing a cord which, in turn, moved
bar connected with the wheel.
A long time ago-much more
than 1000 years-a certain rul-
er invented the sun dial which,
as you have probably heard, is a
dial on which the hours were
marked off in a circle, and an
arm, or quadrant, was so placed
upon this dial that its shadow
fell upon the marked-off hours
successfully as the sun worked
round in the heavens. When
the day was cloudy or rainy
one, of course, there was no sun
and the people could do little
more than guess at thea time.
Then, in the days of good King
Arthur of England, people
burned candles of the same
length both night and day. When
one candle had burned out Sin a
certain length of time, another
was straightway lighted and it,
too, was supposed to burn for
the same length of time, isswhen
another was lit and soon through
the hours.
AS a matter of fact, however,
the candles did not. burn swith
regularity, for. las I you slwell
know yourself, a draught or a
sudden gust of wind makes a
candle burn more rapidly than
in still air. To obviate this, a
shade was placed around the
candle.
About a century after de Vic
had invented his weight clock,
another German nameda Peter
Henlein hit upon the happy idea
of keeping the wheel in motion
by coiling a ribbon steel around
a spindle. And from then on,
improvement was made in va
rious parts of Europe, until
clocks began to resemble some
what the ones with which you
are using.

ESIERsoN's HABIT OF THOUGHT

Another puzzle in Emerson, to the
general reader is the centrality of his
thought. | remember a remark of
Professor Thomas A. Thacher, upon
hearing an address of w. T. Harris,
the distinguished Hegelian and educa-
tionalst. He said that Mr. Harris
went long way back for jump. So
Emerson draws lines of relation from
every least thing to the center.

The next unto the farthest brings.
He never let's go his hold upon his
theosophy. All his wagons are hitched
to stars; himself from God he can
not free. But the citizen does not like
to be always reminded of God, as he
goes about his daily affairs. 1t carries
disturbing suggestion of death and
the judgment and eternity and the
other world. But for the present,
this comfortable phenomenal world
of time and space is good enough for
