Aroostook county, Me-, where they
grow potatoes and have professed
prohibition ever since the days OF
Neal Dow, wants to sever its connec-
tion with the state of Maine" and be
a state all by itself. writes Alan H.
Temple in Commerce and Finance.
It includes an area Of 6.40S square
miles. which is about one-third Of
Names territory; and since 1900 it
has gained 80 per cent in population
and 500 per cent in wfalth. which in
creases are far above those of the
state as a whole. One CT the pretexts
upon which separation is sought is
that Augusta, the state capital. is SD
far away from Aroostook county.
But a desire for separation and the
honors Of statehood is not peculiar to
this Maine county.
There have been attempts to make
q separate state out Of New York
city.

leases are all terminating within a
year. The question came up as to
what sort of lease should be given
for the future. This was not a
public land matter, but for the Office
of Indians affairs, which stands as
guardian for the Indians because
they are supposed to be incapable Of
attending to their own affairs. Yet it
is a highly technical matter. On the
Indian reservation the superintendent
has to take charge of everything, and
1t is one chance In 10000 that he
would be also an expert on lead and
zinc mining. So the commissioner Of
Indian affairs, Charles H. Burke took
the matter up with Secretary Fall Of

seems to destroy the basic point for which
John l. Lewis. president Of the United Mine

since the strike started. and which has largely
been responsible for the continuance Of the
strike. The operators lying outside the CEN

twenty weeks of strife. not only grants dis

always asked, but grants settlements to indi-

even those lying within the central competi-

The original demand of the miners was for
the retention OF the existing basic wage as
affecting contract work, but that the day
laborer's wage should BE adjusted on six
hour day and fve-day week. instead of an
eight.hour day and six-day week. That means
that the same wage would be received for
thirty hours as for forty-eight, or 1t would
be about IS per cent increase in pay.

this maxim is the beginning

third party it will be the first party
The talk about new third party is
merely q passing excitement among

interest in the talk. They are party
minded. At the moment they are get
ting mad at the republicans because
of the tariff and the bonus and the
ship subsidy and the folks are divided
in their anger, some on one side and
some on the other of each issue.
Perhaps so long as anger and no con-
viction is stirring popular emotions,
a jump from the frying pan of one
party into the fire of the other will
satisfy them.
The great majority is imbued with
a new and deep conviction that the
political and economical system de-
Tended by both parties is dead wrong
ard should be wiped out. Until that
conviction comes. a new party will
be merely an excited group Of negligi-
BILE protesters exercising its lungs.
The exercise is grand. 1t affords
both profit and pleasure to the popu-
lace and is improving for those who
take 1t.
Even the progressive party of ten
years ago did not take a large bite
out of the cosmos. 1t stood for
amendments to the social order. The
bull moosers wanted to redistribute
the gross earnings OF business

part of the gross to labor than it
had been receiving. The gift was to

and workers pensions. short hours,
minimum wages and all sorts Of tin

talk of scrapping the machine and
getting a new one. When the new
party comes, it will be real scrap

And what music will rend the air
when the big fight comes! Recalling
the caterwauling and agonizing OF
the conservatives when the bull
moosers assailed the citadel OF in

with nothing more dangerous than
seidlitz powders, one gasps to think
what will happen when the real guns

And yet even this book, with all its

 The government today read into the record a list of nearly twenty five murders growing out of the rail strike, and literally hundreds of acts Of sa- botage, assault, dynamiting, whipping, derailment of trains, burning of brid- ges, rioting, destruction of property and interference with trains in inter- state traffic.

France Re-nOminated in Maryland Primary

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 11.-United States Senator Joseph 1. France, was re-nominated by the Republicans in yesterdays primary. Returns early today showed that he had carried 10 of the 27 voting units in the state including Baltimore city, and had an apparently safe margin in several others which would give him consider ably more than the necessary 67 con vention delegates.
 In the three cornered Democratic contest, William c. Bruce seemed as- sured of the nomination, although the preferential voting delayed the count ing of the ballots and caused confu- sion in some districts. Representative T. Allen Goldboro, Democrat the only member of the present congressional delegation whose re-nomination was contested, won a decisive victory.

 While her temperature remained at 100, Mrs. Harding's pulse had de- creased to 90 and her respiration to 2S, the night bulletin showed. Surgi- cal procedure, it was said, had been further deferred, awaiting localization of the infection"
 Discussing the case with newspaper men late today, Dr. Sawyer declared the increased elimination of wastes through the kidneys, noted in the morn ing bulletin had given the attending fitness.
 Mrs. Harding, according to Dr. Saw yer, had lower temperature during the day, and less restlessness and had been able to take nourishment.
 Dr. Charles Mayo, Rochester, Minn., specialist, who was called into consul tation particularly on the surgical phases of the case, made no comment to newspapermen aside from the state ment that he hoped to be able to start for home "any Ntime now" He indi- cated however, that he would remain at the White House tomorrow, and longer if it was deemed advisable.
 During brief talk with newspaper men, Dr. George T. Harding Jr., of Columbus, Ohio, brother of the president, declared Mrs. Harding not only was able to take nourishment, but for the first time since her illness reached the critical stage, she had asked for it-an encouraging sign, he said, adding that the patient was cheer full and her voice was considerably stronger.
 pr. Sawyer told newspapermen who inquired as to Mrs. Harding's condi- tion that greatest concern of the at tending staff had been that they were faced with the condition of one kid ney completely tied up" and the other seriously affected by inflammation. Draining by surgical means had been contemplated, he added, if the natural channel had continued to remain blocked. Naturally, the physicians, Dr. Sawyer continued, were relieved to find that the kidneys today were beginning to function partially.

County Attorney Sues Maddock For
 Cash Alleged Due

Suit was filed in Tombstone Mon day afternoon by County Attorney John F. Ross against State Engineer Tom Maddock for the recovery of $127,041 being one-half the amount spent on Section ? of the Bisbee4Doug- las highway out of the 75 per cent fund. The petition alleges that this amount was spent with the express understanding that was to be returned to the 75 per cent fund from federal aid funds that the construction was approved by the secretary of agricul- ture and the money paid to the state engineer.
 The county attorney asks that the state engineer be required to make an accounting, and return the money to the 75 per cent fund of Cochise county. The court is further petitioned to re- quire the state engineer to work in conjunction with the board of super visors in all future expenditures.

After a brief furry. today were referred to the jul dietary committee, with members, Re publicans and Democrats alike predict ing they never would be heard from again.
 Seven specific charges were set forth in the Keller complaint, enbrac- ing alleged attempts to abridge the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press and the. right of the people peaceably to assemble. The attorney general was accused of threatening citizens who had opposed his attempts to override the constitution" he was charged with using the funds of his office illegally and without warrant" for the prosecution of individuals and corporations flor. certain lawful acts; with failure to prosecute violation of the law "after those violations have become public scandal"

 Then, quite unexpectedly, he moved that the house adopt his resolution.
