MAINE'S SIGNIFICANCE. .
Maine Agoing Republican- at this
time has little significance in connec
tion with the ' presidential electon,
though a childish effort is being made
. , to impress people with -the fact that
as Maine goes so goes the country.
. Since the Civil war Maine has gone
Democratic only once, then by a
small plurality. It was the only state
that gave Mr. Taft a plurality. Of all'
the states in the union an election
there has the least significance. Even
though the Progressives there have
generally returned to their former
party its signifies nothing. As a mat
ter of-fact if there is any consolation
in the election It is for the Demo
- crats, for the vote for the Democrat
ic candidates is - considerably more
than in 1912. In 1892 Maine went Re
publican by a big majority, and that
year the country was swept for
Cleveland. The indications are that
' it will be the same this year, and the
country will be swept for Wilson.
Maine figures are interesting. Four
years ago the combined vote of Taft
and Roosevelt was 23,000 more than
Wilson's. The present majority of
the Republicans over the Democrats
is only about 13,000 in the face of
' the fact that the total vote is 19,000
more than four years ago. The nor
mal Republican majority in the state
is about 30,000. Therefore it doesn't
take much figuring to make the re-
- suit of the election one that indicates
very strongly the reelection of Pres
ident Wilson, who will need only a
small addition to the regular vote in
pivotal states, like Indiana, Illinois,
and .New York, to give the required
. majorities. He will receive a much
larger Progressive vote in most states
than he received in Maine.
A stranger in the city this week re
marked: "I am not going to vote for
Wilson; but he will be elected just
the same." ' ''
It is the business of the big papers
to claim everything in sight for the
prestige it gives. This fact is being
learned so thoroughly that preelec
tion assertions do not have the weight
they had years ago.
BUSINESS AT FULL SPEED.
Duns: Business in nearly every line
and in all sections of the country is
- going ahead at full speed. The halt
ing tendency of the preceding week,
- due to the shadow of the threatened
. railway strike and the -absence of
many thousands of Labor Say vaca
tionists, has been succeeded by ac
tivity, which shows no signs of slack
ening. The strength of the situation
is reflected in the steady call from
every section for all classes of mer
chandise, even in those districts
where crops would ordinarily have
i resulted, in more or less depression,
the demand being maintained in .re
' markably heavy volume by the ex-
- ceptionally high prices received for
all kinds of farm products. Jobber?
: of dry goods report that fall trade
is well above the average, and while
buyers display a healthy conservation
in their operations, they appear con-
vinced that the prosperity of the peo
ple, due to steady employment M
. good -wages, will insure a profitable
outlet for their purchases, in spite, of
the advance in costs. Activity at tex
tile centers is still pronounced, and
more new business is being offered
than producers are able to accept.
Most industries are running full time
and interruptions caused by labor
troubles ..ave little noticeable effect.
. The heavy consumption of goods and
increasing retail distribution, due to
the growing purchasing power of the
consuming public, as! point to an un
usually 'large fall and winter trade.
Collections are generally satisfac
tory. The crop outlook is fanning some
concern, especially in the West, ind
reductions in estimated yields are
looked for. Good pcrmiums are si
ready being paid for cash wheat, but
the agricultural interest as a wlicli;
seems likely to end the year with
very tomfortable' net returns While
the principal food crop! allow a fall'
ing off, a fair surplus of trains has
been carried over from the phenom
enal yield of last year, and, as a rule
higher prices are mire than com
pensating for the reduced volume of
the harvests. The domain! for frcigh'
space is already bcginninii to show
signs of taxing transportation facili
ties. ...
That barometer of business, the
stock market, avJ a striking indi
cation of the tren.i -if trading senti
ment this week when" Steel ciminon
rose above par for the firs: time in
its history, and stimulated activity all
through the list of industries.
Really Maine doesn't fit into the
election very much anyway, and never
has. '
Speaking of Maine suggests a re
cent statement of some one that con
gress ueeds old Tom Reed some
more.
In the meantime the people are
learning that the country needs men
of the Wilson character.
With one of the best schools in
the state. Willamette University, the
Salem Statesman says:
- A large number of Salem young
people are leaving for college this
week. Registration at the two big in
stitutions is now in progress, and
both will draw heavily from the ranks
of the local high school graduates.
A good many go to the bigger
colleges for the purpose of prestige.
regardless of the fact that the most
successful men in the country have
been graduates of the smaller col
leges. Some need .to do so because
of specialties desired; but, as a rule..
it is more on account of the name and
association, the pep furnished.
Among general lines Albany Col
lege offers as much as any of the big
schools, and it has the advantage of
better influences.
Character ought to plav a bigger
part in the educational program of
the times. 1
Right in U. O. Town.
Eugene Register: Three employes
of the city, it seems, have been work
ing eight whole hours a day and sev
en days out of the week, thus burning
up their vitality at a frightful rate.
They are compelled to get down to
work in the morning at 8 o'clock and
don't dare knock off and call it a day
till 5 in the afternoon. Think of it I
No Eats Without Earns.
(Driscoll in Mail)
A lady-hog said .to her pig:
f Tis time, my son, for you to dig!
I'll not support you this-a-way
In idleness another day.
You've learned to squeal and kick and
grunt;
If you would have more grub, go
hunt!"
That pig sought food through rain
and fog;
He grew to be a noble hog.
A human son I know about
Has piggish taste and hoggish snout,
But when his mother says, "My boy,
Although you are my pride and joy.
I have a hunch you ought to go
And earn a little bit of dough,"
He says, "Now Ma, lay off that stuff!
It seems to me life's hard enough!" .
If only that poor patient Ma
Would land a punch on Sonnie's jaw,
Or smash upon his head a platd.
When he strolls down to breakfast
late,
He might get mad and earn a dime.
And maybe a man sometime!
From every pig-sty we may learn
This lesson, "He who cats must earn."

HOW APPENDICITIS
CAN BE PREVENTED
Albany people should know that
a few doses of simple buckthorn bark,
glycerine, etc., as mixed in Ad-lcr-i-ka,
often relieve or prevent appendi
citis. This simple mixture removes
such surprising foul matter that ONE
SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY
CASE constipation, sour stomach or
gas. A short treatment helps chronic
stomach trouble. Adler-i-ka has easi
est and most thorough action of any
