Valuable Addition to Library

What the general reader OF the
Bible most wants 10 know is covered
by many pages OF helps--these might
be- called an appendix which are
within the covers-limp bound. BY
the way-of the new Big Print Red
Letter Edition Of the Bible now
being distributed to readers Of this
paper. This volume and appendix
are ~ essential In a library as an
encyclopedia On the average book
shelf. where the number Of books do
not warrant the term library. sucn
a Bible Is even moro necessary. The
smaller the collection, the more i'm
portant II Is TO have II comprise the
best and most concise OF reference
works.
This ia the best edition that has
ever been offered 10 the public for
much more than the present nominal
cost and the three coupons. The red
letter feature OF christ's words alone
mark a special desirability. Then
there are the comprehensive annota-
tons and the halftones which add
irnmeasurably 20 its value. Even
with other Bibles in the home. this
particular edition should be there
also for its convenience and for the
excellence OF its additional informa.
ton other than the regular text. The
coupon is explained In another part
OF this issue.

They Tell a Story of High Quality


TWENTY-FIVE years ago two young men, who
had grown up In the market garden business,
took over the farm OF their father and continued
the garden trade.
THE farm, situated six miles east Of Portland and
containing some 70 acres Of cleared land, was
made TO produce a varied line Of vegetable crops,
which were supplied e route Of over fifty grocery
stores In Portland. The farm won reputation for
highest quality vegetables.
FOURTEEN years ago these men who had devoted
i all OF thair lives TO vegetable growing, decided
70 grow accimated vegetable -sed, not alone for
their use, but for sale. For several years they
had been developing special strains Of sweet corn,
cabbage, pumpkin, bects, tomatoes, etc. The first

ties. The first seasep they described in sna

THE MAYORS STATEMENT

Mayor McLean's statement re-
spectinE the record Of his admins
tration 10 one In which, making al
lowance for such criticism as may
be, II seems to tie Journal all the
citizens may find cause for gratifi-
cation. We all are pleased to have
that accomplished. which IL OF ad-
vantage to our city. 1t Is evident,
we think. that Mayor Mclean and a
cooperating city government, have
accomplished work that is advanta-
geous to the city.
Nor would the Journal wish to be
understood as. attempting to mini
mize the Mayors share in the credit
by calling attention to the provisions
OF the city charter under which
mo money shall be paid from the
treasury unless the same be appro-
prtated by the city council and other
obligations Of Importance are laid
upon the boards OF aldermen and
councilmen. It wouh manIfestly be
unfair to overlook the fact that the
majority OF these boards were chos-
en- on the Republican ticket, while
the mayor was chosen on the Demo
cratic ticket and filed the principal
appointive Offices from members OF
that party.
Notwithstanding the situation was
such that had Republican members
OF tho boards OF aldermen and coun-
Gil chosen what might seem partisan
advantage rather than the advantage
OF citizens generally they might
have player such politics that the
record which the mayor presents for
consideration would have been less
worthy. To the credit of all con-
cerned be 1t said the Republicans OF
the cooperating branch OF the city's
administration have loyalty worked
with the executive. indecl there are
some evidently OF the opinion that
he 10 more indebted to them than he
Is to his appointive officials for the
success OF the administration.
It appears that Mayor Mclean as
sumes that tho voters irrespective of
party should. because Of the work
done under the present admlnistra-
ton and because OF his experience
acquired as the citys executive, re-
turn him to the place. presumably
along with the others standing with
him on tho Democratic ticket. Doubt
less there are some who will ask:
Was this Mayor McLeans attitude
when he replaced good and expert
enccd city officials with partisan ap-
pointces. who had no experience and
IL there anything to indicate any
change in that attitude on the part of
the mayor?

Splitting Them

(Bangor Commercially
Why should any voter split his
ballot in a presidential election in
Maine? why should he vote for one
Republican elector and not for an
other. or for one of the Democratic
nominees and not for them all?
These are questions a bit difficult
to answer when one considers that a
vote for the electors, was a vote for
Coolidge and Dawes, or for Davis
and Bryan as the case might be, the
electors themselves being only the
medium to express the choice.
Yet in the presidential election
Robert j. Hodgdon of Lewiston. who
led the Republican ticket, received
1882 more votes than did Phineas
Gay of Bristol, also a Republican
elector. Mrs. Mary Perry Rich was
second and stood $50 below Mr.,
Hodgdon. The votes for the other
four electors varied but little.
On the Democratic side Leslie
Boynton of jefferson ran about 500
ahead of his associates.
The explanation for the larger vote
for Mr.. Hodgdon and Mr.. Boynton
must be found in their position at
the head of the ticket, and the as
sumption that a considerable num-
Der of voters placed their crosses
after the first names on the tickets in
the belief that they had voted the
whole ticket.
Such does not explain the lead that
Mrs. Rich had over her associates
except Mr.. Hodgdon and about the
only suggestion available is that this
was accomplished by votes given
Mrs. Rich because she was the only
female candidate on the tickets.
The variance in the number of
votes cast for the electors would have
cost the Republican party one cleo
tor had the contest been a very close
one.
