Coal. and SUGAR

Up in Piscataquis county they have
a man who has made such ado about
the coal which the Governor never
had and never saw, that he has con-
verted a poet to the belief that the
Governor really had it. Now it hap
pens that said poet has also become
converted to the belief that the a1ore-
mentioned orator gobbled barrel OF
sugar for his own small familys use.
And so the poet who, we are as
sured, is old enough for the draft but
not old enough to vote, breaks 1orth
in song-thus:
The coal was black, the sugar was
white
That's about all the dlnerence' WI
Between the coal the Governor had
And the sugar that Brownie got.
Coal sc tons for a family OF twelve
And a great big house to heat.
barrel of sugar. full 400 pounds
For a man and his wife to eat.
Coal, So, tons for the Governors
house"
From January down to July;
But a barrel OF sugar for man and
his wife
Would be almost eight years supply.
OF course it was wrong for the Gov
ernor to have
His coal for three months or more.
But twas okay for Brown and his
good wife to have
His sugar for eight years in store.
The difference you see, narroWs down
just this
Twixt the sugar. and coal in the bin;
Mr.. Brown he is oIt and is going to
stay out
But Mein Colt how he wants to get in.

WILLIAM l.. ROSS.

In an editorial of our editions of
Aug. % we said:
1--WE enjoy the personal acquaint-
ance of Hon. VIM. NJ. Osborn of
Pittsfield, an honorable, upright man
from boyhood, as we can testify. We
have no need to hunt up the case to
discover If conditions are as he has
stated-if he has been correctly
quoted"
1t now appears that he was NOT
correctly quoted; that he was made
to say things in way he never said
them, and that he disowns the whole
misleading attempt
This incident (and others of a
similar nature) would have misled
and embittered many voters shame
fully had 1t been put out too late to
be corrected and disproven by the
facts. Such dishonest methods are
their own executioners, in time, but
sometimes work great evil before the
lie is overtaken.
In this connection we may give the
public the tip that comes to us from
a Democratic friend. 1t is in sub
stance that Democratic leaders have
laid their plans to spring some
thing" on State finances when it is
too late to be corrected by the facts
probably Saturday night or Monday
morning in Maine papers, or in the
Hearst sheets Of Sunday.
Our informant did not know the
nature of the p:etense that is to be
Sprung" but said that it was COM
monty admitted by those knowing
Of the scheme. to be something easily
refuted il put out while there is yet
time before election to get the facts
before the voters.
We have no reason to doubt the
tip" because it comes from dis
eusted Democrat, and because it has
been done in other campaigns. Our

FLOODING Maine with Untruths.

One of the Hearst publications is
being spread broadcast in this State,
daily, loaded with Democratic politi-
cal propaganda of the cheapest. most
irresponsible and misleading type.
Apparently no attempt is made to
give its readers the truth concerning
conditions. 1t is Enthusiastically
yellow and unreliable.
Maine readers of New York and
other metropolitan dailies know the
charges made against the Hearst
publications by Colonel Roosevelt
and others showing the intimate re-
lations of the publishers with dis
credited pro- German agents in this
country. We have given no place to
this countrywide movement to dis
credit alleged selfish and disloyal
methods of feeding the public mind.
We had no means of getting the
facts and for that reason have let it
alone. buL Win OuI IedueiS We are
familiar with the reputed unre-
liability of the Hearst publications
as news puryeyors.
And for Maine Democratic candi-
dates and leaders to turn to such a
source in endeavor to put over" he
election of Democrats on claims of
high patriotism is at least question
able. We wonder II Mr.. McGilli-
chddy expects to make as many
votes as he loses by employing such
an agency.
Maine Democratic newspapers are
certainly bad enough in their cam
paign methods as anybody can test
ify who read them, but admittedly in
the light of the use of the Boston
American. they cannot hold candle
to the Hearst publications for down.
right rotten political poison and
general INSTRUMENTATION
We are surprised that Mr.. McIntire
does'not do as Hon. VIM. NJ. Osborn
seems to have done. disavow the en-
tire box and dice.

What Is the Answer?

The Portland Argus publishes
long letter" without signature. in
which we find the following:
- Il am Of the opinion that he
rGovernor Millikenl is not backing the
administra ton, as l have been informed
that at the very minute that ne was de-
livering this address at Island Park
telegram had come to him as the Gov
jutant General. who is under him, to
the effect that the work or fight order In
this State was not being carried out and
that Maine was more than three months
behind in this connection. II L nave
been correctly informed l canot see how
the Governor is standing four-square pc
hind the administration even II ne
wishes the public to understand that he
is"
Democrats defeated the work or
fight provision in the National
House. Mr.. Gompers objected to it.
But we wonder what would have
happened in Maine had work or
fight law been enforced. How would
it have affected Democratic candi-
dates who have devoted their entire
time for two months to hurrying
from one end Of this State to the
other and back again. and with no
other service than political cam
paigning of a kind that created dis
satisfaction with the operation of
the draft law.
