A Most Excellent Outlook


Reports received from Republican
campaigners in this State are, to say
the least, very gratifying to Repub-
licans. There is every assurance
that the returns from the election
next Monday will be an unmistakable
recognition Of the loyal and effective
work done and the principles for
which the struggle has been made.
and an inspiration to the party
throughout the country.
This in several ways has been a
most unusual campaign. The Demo-
Gratis nominated a standard bearer Of
whom there has been no criticism,
but he has labored under the disad-
vantage of having nothing to criti-
cize in the previous Republican ad-
ministration Of State affairs and was
able to advocate no serious change
or suggest any improvement. More
over the burdens of the National
Democratic administration could not
be shaken off. and the methods
adopted by those managing the
Democratic campaign have not been
such as appeal to the great majority
OF Maine people.
The introduction at a late day Of
woman suffrage has contributed an
element OF uncertainty, but circum-
stances connected with the enroll
ment are very favorable to the Re-
pubIicans. State Chairman Hams
insistence that the campaign of
education be begun early and the
splendid cooperation in this rendered
by Colonel Parkhurst and Mrs. Guy
p. Gannett have made possible the
solution of one of the most difficult
problems Of education which party
leaders in Maine ever had to encoun-
ter.
By his tactful campaign in the
primaries, his untiring work and skill
as an organizer, Candidate Parkhurst
has contributed very largely to the
success promised by the indications.
There are now no factions in the Re-
publican party of Maine. and the at
tempt to bludgeon the candidate by
means of business lawsuit< has
strengthened the lines.
II the message that shall go out
from Maine September IL. announces
a Republican victory of $4,000. the
result will be received by the country
as the forerunner of a Republican
landslide in November. There is
plenty of unmistakable confidence in
the ability of Maine Republicans to
do that.

Another Egg
Laying Contest

ORONO. Sept. 10-Another winter
egg laying contest, along the same
general lines as those conducted in
the last two years, under the super
vision of the University of Maine ag-
ricultural extension service. is being
arranged for. Like it's predecessors.
1t VIII begin Nov. l and continue
sly months, the birds being kept on
the farms of their owners, occasional
inspections of pens and records being
made by the county agents and the
extension poultry specialist.
Instead of giving the contestants
individual choice as to the number of
birds to enter, uniform number, %,
has been adopted for each pen. This
change in regulation was made after
securing. by circular letter the con-
census of opinion of the previous con-
testants and of the county agents and
Farm Bureau executive committee
members. It is believed that if all
have the same number of birds en-
tered. the average results will be
more easily and accurately determin-
cd.
In all other respects the regula-
tons this year will be the same as
in previous years, only standard bred
birds being entered. the open front
Orono type Of house used and the
Orono laying rations fed.
A chief object OF the contest is to
show by proper selection. housing,
care and feeding that winter egg-pro-
duction is profitable. 1t is expected
that the interest taken throughout
the state in the close contest of a
year ago will lead to a much larger
number of entries this fall Oct. Is
is the closing date for entries. Entry
blanks. rules and instructions will be
mailed on application to the College
of Agriculture. Orono.

Eternal Vigilance Yet Required.

Since Bryans announcement that
he will not vote for Cox and not only
that but will work to elect to Con-
gress only such candidates as are
known to be ''drys." so that-appar-
entity having Cox in mind-if a Pres

In the Name of Common Sense

Any League Of Nations which may
be devised and prove beneficial must
possess the soul Of appeal to the best
instincts and enlivened conscience
of the world, but, likewise, it must
appeal to reason. and any attempt to
befog that reason by appeal to
mawkish sentimentality. to mere
emotionalism, prostitutes the high
character of the undertaking and i'm
mediateiy gives rise to the well
founded suspicion that the purpose
Of 30 doing is Ubiquitous.
The methods of appeal resorted to
by the Wilsonians are doing just
that. We have profound respect for
and belief in the possibilities of a
properly constituted league or asso-
citation Of nations, notwithstanding
the temper displayed by the world of
today is vastly different from that
shown when it was mired and almost
exhausted in the blood and filth OF
war. Its flaming spirit, illuminated
its capacity but the fame is
dimmed. not because Of the league
but because of human nature, which
must be considered whatever we do.
Declaration that the Wilson league
will introduce the millennium is but
drivel. There is too much with which
We should occupy our minds to per-
NIT them to bother with it.
What we want is the truth. We
want to know why, if the present
league is to stop war. it isn't doing
something besides consider tho rail
