of suggestions about changing them
The chorus is loud.
But, as has Just been demonstrated
at Chicago, it is very difficult if not
impossible to corral the kickers. They
represent such diverse views, and some
of them such wild-eyed views, union
seems out Of the question. When
brought together they cannot be held
together, but separate again into more
groups than ever.
Nevertheless, the extent and,earnest'
ness of these people are, in way. a
menace, and should counsel the hold
ing fast Of party lines already estab-
lished. Let all who are united in a
party creed and purpose stand to-
gether, and, for a time at least, sink
personal considerations, or forbear to
press them, for the common good
Local divisions, if too much en-
phasized, might affect, and even Sc
riously injure, matters of national mo-
ment.
The, November stake is very large,
and needs to be played for with skill
and union of effort! Now is the time
to Danish factionism, or reduce it to
the lowest possible equation.

Maine.

As usual, Maine goes first this year.
Election day is September IS. The
state offices and four seats in the
House are in the scale. Both sides are
alert. The democrats are seldom sue
cessful, but always put up stiff fight.
The republicans. long in control,
have kept up an excellent average in
the selection of public servants, both
in home and in national affairs. In
Congress they have brilliant record.
For years the Maine delegation was
one of the most brilliant and infuen-
tial on Capitol Hill. Frye and Hale
in the Senate, and Reed, Dingley and
Boutelle in the House were truly men
of light and leading in their day.
The state is strongly served in Con-
gress now. Her members are we'll as
signed for committee work, and give
a good account of themselves both in
that work and in the open debates.
In pre-war days Maine was repub-
hcan on all the national issues. Pro-
lection and sound money in particular
found steady and sturdy supporter
in her.
This will be her first vote since the
armistiee was signed and the country
began consideration of the fruits of
the war, and the proper course for the
future.
Chairman Hays is giving attention
to the state, and one of the first re-
quests made of him is for visit from
Candidate Harding. Can it we'll be re-
fusedi A humping republican major
ity in September in the Pine Tree
state would greatly hearten repub-
icans elsewhere for the remainder of

In the Seventh Minnesota.

An unusual development has occur
red in the seventh Minnesota district,
where recently Representative Vol
stead was defeated at the primaries
for denomination by Rev. o. j. Kvale.
The latter's nomination was contested
in court and the district Judge has
just rendered a decision to the effect
that under the state corrupt practices
act Kvale is disqualified because in
the primary campaign he charged in
printed statements that Volstead was
an atheist and opposed to the Bible,
and that he had sneeringly made al
lusions to Kvale's preaching on the
miracle of the loaves and fishes. The
court decides that this act constitutes
"a deliberate, serious and material
violation Of the laws of the state and
that there is no justification or ex-
cuse therefor" This is perhaps the
first time in American political his
tory that such action has been taken.
Campaign charges have run the gamut
of slanderous allegation, without pen
atty. Occasionally libel suits have been
instituted by aggrieved persons and in
few instances damages have been
awarded to them. But this, so far as
known, is the first case on record in
which a nominee has been deprived
of his candidacy on the ground that
he has slandered his opponent. If this
decision stands Kvale's name will not
be printed on the regular ballot. 1t
may, however, be written in by his
supporters if they decide to contest
at the polls. In any case, the breach
between the two candidates is SO sharp
as to menace republican victory in
that district. A court decision is not
likely to be accepted as settling fac
tional differences of such an acute
nature.

spiritism and occult phenomena in
duced by certain effects of the great
war. Regarded seriously by many peo-
pie, it is merely an amusement for
others, who, however, are halfway con-
WINGED of the possibility of superior
NAL influences working through the
medium of the planchette.
In all likelihood the ouija board
fad will diminish. 1t is already, indeed,
on the wane. These sudden spasmodic
fancies are not long lived. DR.. Curry,
however, sees the matter from an angle
of particular information and his
warning is not to be lightly regarded,
as it is altogether logical that many
of those who persist in pursuing this
line of supposed research into the I'M
known may be carried off their bal
ance. Too insistent devotion to any
line of thought, particularly of an oc-
cult character, is always perilous.

Eactiouism,

Somewhat bitter factionism in both

some of the states in contests for Local
leadership. 1t is bad time for party
divisions. Conciliators ought to get

made to prevent the appearance OF
new ones.

Less Chance of a Strike.

According to the latest word from
Chicago, better disposition prevails
among the railroad workers toward the
wage award announced yesterday than
was apparent Immediately upon the
publication of the boards decision. 1t
is at least assured that there will be
no immediate strike in fiat rejection
of the award by the heads of the op-
eratives' organizations. The matter
will be referred back to the brother
hoods for consideration and possibly
for referendum votes. This will take
some time and the present hope is that
upon consideration the men will con-
clude that it is far better to take the
60 per cent grant of their demands
rather than reject it and thereby lose
the unmistakable advantage aeeruing
from the award.
OF total of one billion dollars a
year increase, the wage board granted
5000, 100000. This average, about 81 per
cent increase for all classes of opera
tives The award also entailed re-
troaetive arrears payment back to May
/, equal to about $150, 100000. If it is
rejected the men will lose that amount
Of money outright besides the 81 per
cent advance for the ensuing year.
Since 1915 engineers have been ad-
vanced 4S per cent on American rail
way lines, hremen so per cent, and
conductors Sc per cent, and brakemen
81 per cent. This does not include
the awards under the Adamson law,
whereby the wages of many of the
men were increased 20 per cent where
the daily period of employment was
not reduced to eight hours. These in
creases constitute a record on which
the railroad operatives of this country
could not afford to appeal to the public
by strike, an award which gives them
81 per cent advance, totaling $500, 000,-
900, every penny of which will come
out of the public pockets in the form
of increased freight rates and increases
in the cost of everything affected by
transportation.
Already the railroad companies, ac-
eepting the award, have prepared to
meet the additional charges which it
entails by securing an increase of pas
senger and freight rates from the In
terstate Commerce Commission. A
petition will be presented at once to
that effect. The consumer will pay the
bill, as always. The commission can
hardly refuse to grant an advance in
rates in view of the addition of $780,
900 900 a year to the wage rolls.

A Film Strike,

Now it is a motion picture strike
that aims at the public welfare. Two
thousand workers in the studios and
laboratories of the screen industry in
New York and vicinity have quit work,
tying up score Of film plants. These
men demand % per cent increase N
salary and recognition of their union.
Negotiations have been in progress for
some weeks without result. An ultima
tum was sent Monday and ignored and
the strike was called automatically
yesterday. One of the demands in
cludes the putting of the union trade
mark on every film. A representative
of one of the big film companies has
stated that grant of the workers de-
mands would entail an increase of
about 100000 a year in his own COM
pany. 1t is possible that if this strike
is not quickly settled the operators
may quit work in sympathy, in which
case a first class bunch of trouble is
in store for movie houses all over the
country. As in the case of the rail
roads, if the % per cent increase in
wages is granted the film workers the
public will have to pay. Another ad
vance at the ticket window is there
fore a possible result Of this latest
industrial dispute, with a consequent
increase in the war tax. And it was
only short time ago that cents was
the prevailing price of admission for
motion picture shows and the l0-cent
house was luxury!

Ouiia and insanity.

DR.. Marcus A. Curry, medical direc-
tor of the New Jersey State Hospital
for the Insane, has fled a report in
which he gives expression to the fear
that the ouija board will greatly in
crease the number of state asylum
patients. He classes this device as a
dangerous factor for unbalancing the
normal mental state. The fad, he says
is especially serious because it is
adopted mainly by persons of highly
strung and neurotic tendency, and he
is apprehensive that the hospitals of
the state will receive a new influx of
patients off popular taste does not
soon swing to more wholesome diver.
