The State Of Maine Election

Portland, Me. Sept 13-The re.
,publicans swept the state in the
election today and elected Fred.
eric Fl. Parkhurst as governor by
the largest plurality ever given a
gubernatorial candidate in Maine.
With only Al isolated towns and
plastations to be heard from,
which cast a total vote of about
$500 in the state election of 1916,
Parkhurst's plurality over Ber-
tran G. Mcintyre. democrat. was
more than $4,000. The largest
previous plurality was about
$4,000, given the republican nom
inee in 1896
New York, Sept. 14.-Chaiman
Hays of the republican nationa,
committee said: Late returns from
Maine indicate reasonably satisfas-
tory republican results, but just wait
until November" James w. Ge-
rard, head Of the democratic com

refused to admit that the Maine re.
suit indicated the national political
trentd, but Senator Harrison stated
frankly that the Maine republican

NUMBER 46
EQUAL SUFFRAGE
IS PROCLAIMED

A certain appropriateness may be
discovered in the fact that Secretary
of State Colby signed the proclams-
tion completing the enfranchisemeuC
of American wonen without cere,
mOny and without the attendance Of
the ubiquitous movie" camera man.
The act completed the quiet evoiu-
tionary process in the development
of democracy which was inevitably
to place men and women on an is-
equality in respect to the making ana
the preserving of the state, of which
they are equally citizens. 1t means
the passing in our plan of govern
ment of the last stronghold of class
domination. Whatever of inequality
remains is inequality amendable to
the laws which all alike may share
in making. If the accomplishment
falls short of she theory, neverther-
theless a great work has been don't
in bringing our fundamental instrn-
ment of government into accord
with the truth regarding the place Of
the citizen of the republic.
The Governor Of Tennessee, like
the Secretary of State, performed
his full and clar duty in proceeding
without reference to the litigation
undertaken by the obstructionists' In
forlorn hope to defeat the actisn
of the 36th ratHying state. The &C.
ton of shs State Supreme Court in
taking over the controversial issue
was held by compeent authority to
have vacated the injunction restrain
ing the Governor from certifying the
states action. In any event the leg
islature had acted in accordance with
the plain provisions of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, the SUI
preme law of the land, and it was
incumbent upon the Governor so to
declare. The courts in the mean
while have not been estopped from
reviewing tn Legislative and eXecu-
tive acts which have been accomplish
ed. If flaw is found in the pro-.
ceedings it can be dealt with. There
is every reason to believe, howevr,
that equal suffrage in the uniter
States has at last and permanenSk
arrived.-Springfield Republican,

Tree With History
in Hall of Fame

The only tree known to have
been planted in memory of
Abraham Lircoln, right after
hi S assassination, has been
nominated for a place in the Hall
of Fame fortress with a history"
which the American Forestry as.
sociation is compiling. A. 5.
Bailey, of Dechorah, Ill, where
the tree now stands. informed
the association that the tree was
planted by one John Finn, who
is still living.
When Abraham Lincoln was
assassinated. Finn was in Chicago
and he returned home much de
pressed. A few days later, on
April q. Gov. Stone, of Iowa, de-
clared a day of mourRing for
Lincoln. Finn went into the
woods aud dug up small hack
berry shoot. which he transplant
ed on tho street in front of his
home. The shoot took root and
today is one of the most magnif
icent trees in Iowa 1t is 11O
feet high and II feet in circum
ference, to which facts the Amer.
ican Forestry association points
as a great lesson in what can be
done in tree planting.
The Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, the Grand Army
of the Republic and historical
societies of the country are said
TO be reporting many other trees
with history to the American
Forestry association.

WIFE'SFAULTS
EQUALMAN'S
German Court Decides Di,
vorce on Fifty-Fifty
Equality Standard.
CwashinEton Herald-PubIic Ledger
Service, Special Gable DispatchD

Service, Special Cable Dispatch
Berlin, July l0.-The federal su-
preme court in a divorce decision
just handed down at Leipzig, recog-
nizes the single STANDARD Of moral
ity as advocated by William Jcn-
nings Bryan. The German high
court further holds that the view
point of certain classes of society
which look upon occasional infideli-
ties of the husband as venial may
not be pleaded in determining the
relative guilt of two offending par
ties to a marriage, but that failings
of the husband are quite as serious
as those of the wife. The court in
this overruled the decisions of two
lower courts and departed from a
Illegal principle frequently maintain
T, ed by German courts under the
monarchy before women possessed
the vote or equal rights with men
In various respects.
The occasion OF the ruling was a
double divorce suit in which a wife,
against whom a divorce decree was
granted because of her infidelity
while her husband was serving in
the army, applied for a counter de-
cree on the ground that her hus-
band had repeatedly offended
against the marriage pledge. The
| lower court accepted several such
attempts at intidelity in the davs
before the war as Iroven. but con-
sidered this as no cause for divorce
! in view of the lax opinions on this
subject held in German working
| classes, to which the parties be-
longed, and missed any proof that
the wife had not conGoned his
lapses.
The Supreme Court in its opinion
held that 1t was inadmissible to ac-
Suse whole classes of society of such
| lack of sentiments of honor and mo-
rality that serious offenses against
! law and morals were regarded as of
little consequence. Experience
showed that a higher standard of
morals was not acquired along with
| education or property, but that per-
sous of the lower classes often
| maintained such a standard, while
| individuals of the so-called better
| classes fell conspicuously short of
/ 1t. Experience also showed that
such conception of the marriage
: relation as was manifested by the
husbands repeated approaches to
other women, even though unsuc-
| Cessful, could not but be regarded.
even in the lower classes of society
as an offense against the marriage
vows by which the feelings of the
wife would be gravely offended and
her attitude toward the marriage
shaken. The decree of the lower
, court was. therefore, quashed and
the case was sent back for a new
trial. in which the claim of the wife
] to a divorce should be considered.

RENT BLOSS,

Former Baltimore Mayor
Urges Purchase as Only
Real Saving.
CITES MANY EXAMPLES
Says People Who We're
Sensible" Three Years /
Ago Are Now Rich.
CITES. MANY EXAMPLES

Real estate Is the best investment
in the world. according to those who
know. AS, for instance, former
Mayor James II. Preston, OF Balti-
more, says he,has never lost cent
in il.
There are still some tenants In
Baltimore, says the Baltimore Real
Estate Board Bulletin, who feel 1t
is cheaper to ray rent than to own
their own home.
This is never true. The tenant
always pays the taxes, upkeep. de-
and all other expenses
besides q profit to the owner.
1t Is not often one hears an ex-
preston that so forcefully bears out
this claim, as the remarks made re-
comfy by former Mayor Preston. At
a meeting of the Baltimore board.
stocks Are Different.
ct have never lost a cent in real
estate" he said, but have always
made money. l regret to say. how
ever, that ] have. in my safe. at
this time a considerable amount OF
stocks and other forms Of so-called
securities, most of which are below
par, some of which re worth so per
cent, some only 25 per cent, and
'eome absolutely nothing"
When it is considered that Pres
ton has for many years been in
vesting in Baltimore real estate, this
is a remarkable tribute to the safe
and certain return on real invest
ments.
There are thousands of people in
Baltimore today who bought homes
last year and the year before, who
have sold at handsome profits. There
are thousands of others who still
refuse to see the advantage In buy
ing and will continue to grumble
about profteering and pay the toll.
Won't Learn By Example.
The fact that big corporal tions
managed by the best business brains
in the city go ahead and put up
imillion-dollar buildings is no evil
dence to them that the bottom won't
drop out OF things tomorrow.
These same people waited for
lower prices in 1913. and IL they
could buy a skyscraper for 10 cents
today, they would wait for IL TO
come dcwn to a nickel. 1t Is doubt
,ful that n single one OF the home
owners in Baltimore today regret
making their purchase, ard IL is
equally certain many others will
profit by becoming real estate own
ers this year"

.AUCTIONEERS MUST
KNOW REALTY VALUES

The requirement OF a successful
real estate auctioneer, said Charles
r. WardelI. of Detroit, in the Ma
tional Real Estate Journal, is that
he be thoroughly posted on the
values of real estate. The auc-
tioneer when he gets up to offer
a piece of property for sale. is sub
ject to the criticism of everyone in
his audience.
The purchasers OF real estate at
auction have made as a rule, every
effort to become thoroughly famil-
Tar with the value of such prop
erty, and IL the auctioneer should
in any way overestinate or make a
ridiculous statement as TO the value
of the property he has at once lost
the confidence of the buyers whom
he is addressing.
Therefore 1t becomes necessary to
spend years in making oneself
thoroughly familiar with the values
and quotations of property. The
auction business, like every other
branch of the real estate business,
is a speciality and requires intimate
study and close attention.
