MAINE ELECTION INTERPRETED

As Is We'll known the enforcement
OF prohibition was the decisive issue
in the gubernatorial election in Maine
but in the selection OF United States
senator it may safely be assumed that
the contest was one Of party versus
party Precisely what the result
meant from the political point Of view
is brought out by the following state
ment issued by the Democratic ma
tional committee:
Democratic victories in Maine are
like cold days in August. They hap.
pen sometimes, but very seldom. In
such a strong Republican state the
Democrats have all to gain and little
to lose. The only question which has
any real bearing on the November re-
suit is-what did they gain, if they
gained anything, in the election Mon
day, the eleventh Of September, 1916?
Sills. the unsuccessful Democratic
candidate for senator polled 10000
more votes than were cast for Wilson
in 1912. while Fernald, Republican
candidate for senator, polled 1000 few
er votes than the combined Roosevelt
and Taft vote Of the same year. And
Hale, Republican, for senator received
8 900 less. Here is certainly a gain for
the Democrats and loss for the re
united Republican party.
From the election figures Of other
years many interesting and ingenious
auguries can be drawn. But these lose
force and conviction when stood be-
side the fact that the Democratic can
didate gained 10000 votes tand more)
over the 1912 Democratic vote, and
the Republicans lost 1000 (and more)
Of the 1912 Republican-Progressive
vote
| If the change indicated by the Maine
vote prevails all over the country, the
Democrats viii gain largely and the
reunited" Republican party lose-and
our Republican friends can figure, and
figure again. but they cannot disprove
the simple arithmetic Of this
The same proportionate change in
New York would swing New York to
Wilson by 25O,00O votes. In the whole
country such change would give
Wilson the presidency by 100000 ma
jority of the popular vote.

~cLINe TO FAITH"

Cleaye then to the SUMMER side Of
doubt,
And cling to Faith beyond the forms
Of Faith!
She reels not in the storm Of warning
words.
She brightens at the clash Of Yes"
and NO.
She sees the Best that glimmers
through the Worst
She feels the sun is hid but for
night
she spies the summer through the
winter bud
She tastes the fruit before the bios
som falls,
She hears the lark within the songless
egg,
she finds the fountain where they
walled mirage
--Tennyson.
One of the greatest of religions
teachers tells us that 'faith is the
substance Of things hoped for, the evi'
dence or things not seen" Mystical
though it may seem, this statement
sets forth truth that is marvellous
Faith, something that we think Of as
thin and intangible, is substance, the
very essence of reality. We cannot
touch, taste feel, hear or see il put
nevertheless it is thing so real tnat
1t actually becomes evidence Of
things not seen"
Faith. set at naught by pseudo-sci-
entists and philosophers whose range
Of vision cannot penetrate beyond the
things revealed by the physical senses,
gives to the poet and seer glimpses Of
d realm more real than any over which
ian earthly monarch rules. A Words
worth feels "a spirit and a presence
that disturbs me with the Joy of ele'
waited thoughts, sense sublime OF
something far moro deeply interfused
whose dwelling place is the great
ocean, the living air and the mind of
man"
Faith is the foundation of all hope,
OF all optimism. 1t 'spies the summer
through the winter bud though no
summer is seen by the natural eye;
it hears the lark within the songless
egg though no music breaks upon
the natural ear, and instead of the il
msive mirage discovers the actual
fountain.
Is ii possible that something SO real
as the kind OF faith which goes he
yond the forms Of faith can have no
practical bearing upon human conduct
and well-being? A negative answer to
this question is unthinkahe. Without
faith we can never see the best that
glimmers through the worst" and
must inevitably become victims Of
despair, puppets and playthings of the
gancied powers Of fate. Woe be TO
the people without vision and there
can be no vision without faith. Tc the

SENT TO REFoRMAToRY
Arthur Hurteau Had Damaged Prop
 erty at Garde FIorimond's Rooms Clyde Dube, His Companion, on Pro-
 bation.

Two young boys were before the po- lice court Saturday morning, charged with injuring private property. They were Arthur Hurteau, thirteen, and Clyde Dube, twelve years old. The boys entered the rooms occupied by Garde Florimond in the Center street armory March II, broke the player piano there and pried open a cupboard and a desk. although they did not take anything. This was not the first time they have done such things as while peddling Sunday papers, they had en- tered the home of H. D. Remington on Prospect street. and the Hurteau boy took $3.20 which he found on mantel and gave his companion a dollar of it. This affair was strengthened out and the money returned.
 Probation Officer w. c. Lyman was appointed guardian ad litem for the boys and after consulting with them entered a plea of guilty for both. They gave no reason for entering the arm ory, saying that other boys had done it and used the piano.
 It was decided in case of the Hur- teau boy that action should be taken IS this was his fourth offense. He was accordingly sent to the state re- formGtOrY for boys.
 The Dube boys case was continued for three months and he was placed on probation, his mother having ex- pressed the conviction that she could prevent him from any further acts of this nature. It was stated that it was evident that the boys did not realize what they were doing and were simply carrying boyish pranks toe far, but it was deemed best to give them a les son before they resorted to more se- rious offenses. The Hurteau boy was told that if he behaved at the reform school an effort would be made to have him released on parole after six months. The affair at the armory was traced by means of a pair of gloves which the Dube boy left March IL when the violation occurred. The bow when confronted with the fact denied that the gloves were his, but finally admitted his guilt.
