Editorial Comment
The Elections.
Lewiston Journal)


Send the word along-the Repub-
lican party still vital in Maine has
been returned to power because it
and to itself.
No governor ever started with a
greater handicap in point of politics
than GOV. Miliiken. He had com
mitted the enormous crime Of TAX
ing his duty seriously. He had never
placated q politician: never soothed
the feyered brow Of an office seeker:
never hesitated to kick out a mu-
tineering office holder; never hest
tated to enforce the obnoxious law
as well as the smooth and popular
law
lie has won because he deserved
to win and because good men, al
though smarting under fancied
Sights and wrongs that never were
wrongs and never could be wrongs,
could not bring their consciences to
revoke in the final hour.
Then, too. an absurd and unworthy
campaign of personalities was waged
against him-small innuendo, mean
suggestions Of hidden things in the
fair performance of his duty. If
was Governor Milliken. He has won
and won handsomely.
The return of Congressman White
is simply and solely because Of his
deserving work. because Of his youth
that must be served: because of his
loyalty to the war: because Of
growing belief in his power and use
fulness. He is a coming man in
Maine politics. He has done so we'll
that after the manner of the old Sec
ond District, il sends him back as it
has done for all of his successors,
His return by an old fashioned ma
jorty is a tribute to his zeal and
worth. 1t has been a good natured
campaign and should have left no
hard feelings
The result in Maine will hearten
Republicans all over the land for the
coming struggle which means the
reconstruction Of public policy after
the war is over. Now it is our duty
to stand by the men in the army and
navy. from tho President to the
humbiest private. After that, there
viii be great qucstions-among which
none are greater than the DISPOSE
ton of the great industries taken
over by the war; the questions of
government control Of railroads; the
issues Of tariff and of economy and
above all the decision whether this
Is to be republic of all classes and
all interests or an autocracy of the
few for special privileges for or
against capital or labor
Maine has sent the message.

The following is a letter received
by Mrs. Laura Cain from her son,
Corporal Kenneth c. Jarvis.
Dear Mother: We have just come
back from the firing line and nave
just received your two letters and one
from Lillian, and believe me l was
some tickled to get them and hear
that you are all we'll. l am in good
health bat am all in as we have been
at the front for the last seven days
and under shell fire for over three
weeks and that means no sleep or
rest. But l am looking forward to
the time when l get home and then l
will have real rest. It doesn't seem
possible for the war to last much
longer, for we are driving the Huns
back every day along the line. |
haven't met any one over here yet
that l know but we are meeting more
regiments every day so / think it
more than likely that | will before
long. l would ike to run into the
103d and see some of the bunch
from Augusta. They are along our
front somewhere and we will proba-
bly, meet them.
/ bet Vic is quite boy and you tell
him that l have his German and then
some. | would like to drop in on you
all Of a sudden and surprise the whole
Of you. And | probably will sooner
than YOU expect. | have had a good
time since l have been over here and
have seen a good deal of France
But | would sooner have that little
house than the whole Of France The
39th got a citation for bravery in it's
first battle and the Y. NJ. G. A. is
going TO have q lot Of copies of it so
We can send it home. Well | will
have to close now. With love to you
all and kisses I remain
Your loving son,
Write as often as you can as II is
good to get mail and papers.

1t was announced by Rt. Rev. Louis
S. Walsh, bishop of Portland, at one
of his services Sunday, that his
plans for using the recently pur-
chased Putnam Fessenden property
on State street, Portland, would not
be made public for two months at
least. That the building would be
used for his own residence, as it has
been rumored, the bishop denied, but
he made no further statement in re-

Love for his old surroundings and
friends and a desire to be associated with
others of his kind in his former service,
caused a government mule to swim
from Cow Island back to Long Island.
Casco bay, a distance Of over mile,
where he was found Tuesday. Early
in that month the mule. which had been
stationed on Long Island and which
was used to cart supplies and do similar
work near the Government searchlight
station ever since the light was con
structed, was transferred to duty at
Cow Island. The animal was found
Tuesday coming ashore on the beach at
Long and was taken into custody
and late Monday was calmly nibbling
his hay in stable awaiting his orders
and eXtradition papers which will prob
ably be issued soon and which will re-
suit in removal to his home since
May.
