THE MAINE ELECTION.

Statistics of former elections have never war ranted the saying As goes Maine goes the Nation" The saying under circumstance would apply to the situation this year. Maine has been a Prohibition State for nearly seventy years and naturally would want the rest of the Nation to be in step with her. and there has been lot of Democratic quarreling there for a year two.
 However, deny that when Maine in State election, no matter what might be the local issues, gives Republican majority of two-and-a-half to one it is not an indication that the Republican Party in New England is in the doldrums that the Democratic Party is riding the crest. It is true that two-and-a-half to Republican majority in Maine is not an unsua thing. Coolidge carried it by better than three -and-a-half to and the last special elec- tion for United States Senator gave the Repub- lican nominee about two-and-a-half to Hard ing carried it by two-and-a-half to one. But usually in Democratic years, the Republican majorties have been much smaller
 Of course the fact that the Republicans flood ed Maine with orators of National renown while the Democrats, without hope of carrying the State and full knowledge that the Republican majority there would be large, wasted pow der, probably had some influence in bringing out larger Republican than Demoertic votes The circumstance that the Democratic Party in Maine is vexed with factional differences that the State leader of four years ago has bolted the party, also probably had lot to do with keeping the Democratic vote down The returns thus far re- ceived would indicate that the big Republican majority due to light Democratic than to heavy Republican voting
 However. said, all things concerned Maine has given evidence that there is a lot of Re- publican satisfaction and Democratic dissatis- faction in that State at least If the election there has any National significance at all it is in favor of the Republicans

By L. Lamar Matthews

In a certain progressive high
school there is a young writer's
club. 1t was organized four years
ago by three little girls who were
keenly interested in writing. They
met at somebody's home once
week and proudly displayed the
pages they had covered with
their own bits of verse or fiction.
Before long two other little
girls wished to join: then another
one; and later on others came in
by special permission.
The next year these girls were
sophomores and their club had
taken on a. dignity and prestige.
Membership was eagerly accepted;
and only the pure in heart were
invited to join.
Now those girls are seniors, and
even the senior boys are glad to
be invited to appear on their
programmes. The majority of
the members are juniors and
seniors, with few talented soph-
ignores and two ecstatic freshmen
-"the only freshmen who were.
asked to join the writer's club"
they whispered.
The effect that this organiza-
ton has had upon the English
work of the school is remarkable.
The subject of English has at
tanned an Importance that delights
the souls of all the teachers.
In a neighboring town one OF
