THE Special Session

Tuesday the special session Of the
10Th Maine Legislature met, passed
inportzn, legislation and adjourned
with all the dispatch possible.
Some changes were made in the
registration laws Of the State as
needed to permit the women TO vote
at the State and national elections
this fall and clerks we're provided
for the extra work entailed. An act
was passed amending sec. Z Of Chap.
IS, r. S. TO enable those OF a certain
religious belief to vote on Sept. 10.
A resolve vas passed that no one
shall be denied the right to hold Of
flee on account of sex. This will
enable women in Maine to hold civil
Offices but docs not affect those pro-
vided for by the Constitution. 1t
may be necessary later to secure a
constitutional amendment 80 that
women may be eligible to all polit-
ical Offices.

It's Now Up to Cox.

Cox evidently has expected to es-
cape summons before the investi-
eating committee. That it became
his duty to furnish proof to sustain
his charges apparently has no weight
with him. However, when Chairman
Hays furnished the committee with
the original letter of President Car
roll OF the New Jersey Federation Of
Liquor Interests calling for help to
elect Cox President, and saying that
Cox is "a pronounced wet" he did
something. It is up to Cox now to do
something.
His statement that the vets had
not contributed a dollar to his cam
paign has a peculiar look in face Of
the original receipt fled by Hays with
the committee, said receipt purport-
ing to be for money sent, and signed
!. N. Wheeler, treasurer Of this liquor
federation. Cox's rambling talk that
the vets have not been active in
politics for some time is certainly an
indication that he was embarrassed by
the exposure. He'll be a very busy
man yet and may wish he had con-
dned his efforts to the front porch.

Get Back Moral Leadership
Boston Herald)

Even the strongest advocates OF
the league as it stands can scarcely
describe Senator Harding. after this
frank utterance, as man opposed
to peace or TO any league intended
to secure it. 1t is the utterance OF
man who has high ideals, and an
open mind toward methods of real
iZing them. Perhaps that is just as
creditable an attitude as that of a
man who can see but one way to
meet the needs of the world. and in
sists on that or nothing.
The final paragraph Of Senator
Harding's speech furnishes good slo-
eans for the Republican campaign:
Let us take stock for a moment of
America in the world. Aye. and of
America at home Let US be done

I have taken four more bottles now

II Governor Cox isn't convinced by
this time that the Republicans do
Knot propose to take attacks lying
down he must be dull of compre-
hension. II anyone who has permit
ted himself to get excited over the
ridiculous charges made by Cox
respecting the Republican campaign
fund doesn't cool down after reading
the testimony before the investigating
committee he, too. is dull Of compre-
hension.
Ex-Chairman Cummings of the
Democratic party, when asked by
Senator Reed, himself Democrat:
DO you know Of any manifestly ex-
cessive sums that have been coll
lected," replied to the committee: II
don't know of any"
When asked If he would say the
raising Of three million dollars by
any national committee would indi-
cate any corrupt purposes. Mr.. Cum
mings' reply was: Certainly not"
In the course Of the investigation
Ex-Chairman Cummings expressed
the opinion that the Republicans were
more successful in raising money
than the Democrats.
Isn't the whole thing in nutshell
that Cox, in a wild endeavor to get
the Democratic "tight-wads" sep
arated from some Of their money. re-
sorted to the desperate expedient OF
raising this hue and cry about cor
ruption," Republican Doodle" try
Ing to buy the electorate?
This isn't the sort OF suspicion
which looks well applied to one who
seeks the highest Office in the land;
but for that matter neither does the
suspicion that Cox didn't know any
better.

American Shipping
Increase Over 500

London, Aug. S1--ACcording &c
Lloyd's register of shipping just is
sued. the gross tonnage of the United
States shipping has increased since
1914 by over 500. per cent. American
tonnage now stands at 5000, 000
tons which places the United States
second only to the United Kingdom
which is credited with 1880 900 tons

place. is now third, with 1895, 00C

that the worlds net loss in ship

account the suspension in normal
shipbuilding activities, amounts to
3,516.000 tons.
There is a reduction in sailing ton
mage since pre-war days Of $4,000
tons. much smaller decrease than
in any previous six year period and
doubtless accounted for, says the
Register, by the shortage of other

Colonel Parkhurst.
(Portland Express


Accounts from localities in the
State, where Colonel Parkhurst, the
Republican candidate for Governor
has been heard. are such as to be en-
couraging to his party and satisfac-
tory to our people generally They
must be highly gratifying to the
! candidate himself. who as his ac-
quaintance with State and her citi-
zens broadens adds to the high es-
TEEN in which he has long been es-
tablished.
We are much mistaken in Colonel
Parkhurst, however. if he does not
look forward to the position of Gov
ernor. to which he hopes and expects
to be elected, with more interest as
one affording an opportunity for him
to be Of service rather than for any
honor otherwise empty that might
come to him from the title and place
He will not be satisfied unless in be-
ing Governor he shall make the ilfiu
ence and power, that as Governor will
be his. of substantial and lasting use
and value to the entire State.
Colonel Parkhurst has long been
known as a REPUBLICAN,, active, infu
entail and effective in party work. But
before and more than that, he was
and is citizen, taking great inter
est in matters pertaining to the ma :
terial prosperity of the State and his
inside experience as a business man
will effectively supplement the desire
he deeply cherishes, and his firmly
rooted intent to be of service along
the lines wherein the State is de-
veloping her great resources. 1t is
no mean ambition that he cherishes
that, should he be elected Governor,
his administration may be replete
with well considered efforts and
measure to that end.
Because Of his past political ac-
tivities and intensities. Colonel Park
hurst might. perhaps, be expected to
confine his thoughts and his deliv-
cries upon the stump quite largely to
the political issues of the day. With
these, he is entirely familiar. and he
has views upon them that he ex-
presses with clarity and force But
his experience and interests as a bust
ness man and his knowledge of the
State, of its needs. of the possibilities
of its progress, with his great faith in
its future lead him to broaden the
ordinary path of campaign processes.
He is convinced that there are de-
mands and opportunities for construc-
tive work for the general good. and,
while he does net abate a whit of his
political convictions. his speeches in
dictate that he has also in mind mat
ters of moment in which all without
regard to party are concerned, and
he is determined to do all that in him
and the office is to further those.
He fully recognizes, however, that
the Governorship could do little in
deed without the earnest. we'll direct
ed cooperation Of the people of the
State. He believes that enlisting
with all the people his personal and
his official constitutional powers in a
combined harmonious effort, he will
be able to crafty his great desire to
make his administration memorable
for efficiency in developing Maine
It is a worthy ambition. worthy Of
popular support.
