THE MAINE ELECTION
The election in Maine has been
very widely discussed and although
it went republican, it is full of
promise of a Democratic victory
this fall. The main feature is the
immense gain in the democratic
vote. In 1912 President Wilson
only received 51,000 votes where
as in 1916 the democratic vote has
increased to 68,600, about 35 per
cent increase. If this same in
crease continues througnout the
country it would give President
Wilson a vote of about 8.500,000
or over 2,000,000 more than he
had when elected in 1912. With
the republican vote split half in two
in Maine in 1912 when Mr. Wilson
only carried it by a bare 3,000
votes, the fact that they defeated
Senator Johnson for reelection by
only 9,000 shows what a strong
driye, the power of Wilson’s name
will make this fall. So if the re
publicans are making so much of a
hurrah over a very small victory in
a republican state, what will they
do with such states as New York,
which gave Wilson over 200,000
plurality, and Ohio, which he car
ried by 150,000 and Indiana by
over 100.000.
Maine has not shared in the great
prosperity of the country like the
other states, because the farms of
Maine are rocky and unproductive,
and the manufacturing interests
are not large, and if Maine had
thared in the great prosperity such
as the great manufacturing, farm
ing and mining states g,re enjoying
she would have gone democratic,
the same as the other great states
of the country are going to do in
November when they vote for
Woodrow Wilson who has taken
the government of the United
States out of the hands of the cor
porations, and runs it for the people.
T
If the shoe fits, it's a sure sign a
woman will ask for a small size.
It was Archbishop Whately who
once upon a time uttered this tru
ism: If all our wishes were grati
fied. most of our pleasures would
be destroyed.” Turn this over in
your mind. It will reconcile you
to feme things that at times cause
discontent and moroseness—dis
turbing elements to be scrupulous
ly evaded and avoided.

Educational.
Once more the mills of learning
grind, and fill the grist the youthful
mind. The boys and girls have
come from play, to store a lot of
facts away in pigeonholes behind
their ears, where they’ll be found
for future years. All patiently the
teachers teach the freckled boy,the
female peach, expounding here the
ABC, explaining there the rule of
three. It is the noblest work of all
performed on this old mundane
ball, this showing kids the path
that leads to mighty thoughts and
mighty deeds. We all know that,
and so we pay the teacher 'leven
bits a day. We're free with coin
to statesmen chaps who hold down
divers kinds of snaps; we hand
them all the wealth they want, and
pay their mileage when they jaunt,
and all they give us in return is
eloquence and wind to burn. But
hand decent living pay to country
teachers? Aw, go ’way! It is the
custom of the land to sweat and
starve that useful band. Walt

1 A RAILROAD ROMANCE I
By LOUISE OLIVER.
I
The little waiting room, with it®
egg stove aglow, was gratefully warm.
But the oilcloth-covereW counter was
guiltless of food and the ticket office
minus an occupant.
Marian waited for someone to come,
meanwhile w’atching the clock anx
iously. Precious minutes were pass
ing and still no one came to,serve her.
She was turning toward the door
when the stranger lifted his hat. "I
beg your pardon, but as the agent
doesn't seem to be around just now,
perhaps you will permit me to hunt
up a lunch for you. He may have
something hidden under the counter.’
Marian turned to the door again.
"Thank you, but as the train will
leave in a minute I am afraid I must
go. Good evening.”
He hurried to the door and held it
open for her. The storm had increased
in violence, almost carrying Marian
off her feet. Kins sleet cut into their
faces. He took her arm and together
they fought their way across the plat
form through the storm. Then they
stopped suddenly, aghast. The track
was empty and the train gone! It had
slipped away, its noise drowned by
the screaming wind.
"By George, that’s too bad!” he
shouted into her ear. Marian was
thankful now for the storm and dark
ness, for she could not k£ep back the
tears any longer.
There seemed to be nothing to do
but to go back to the empty station
which offered protection at. least from
the storm. She might hove to wait
some time for the next train.
As they went into the little waiting
room for the second time the fumes
of tobacco notified the travelers that
the agent had come in, evidently by
some other way.
"Hello, Bob! Where on earth hare
you been?” asked Marian’s'would-be
benefactor. "While we were waiting
for you to hunt us a bite to eat, the
train vamoosed and left us." *
Marian heard the other man whistle
with surprise. "Then I am afraid you
are up against" it, Mr. Hays. There
isn’t another train tonight!”
Marian dropped limply to a seat.
The man went to the door and stepped
outside to tell his idea of the whole
business to the elements.
In a few minutes he burst into the
waiting room. "Say, Bob, there’s a
gasoline work car down the track!
Is she all right?"
“I guess so. The men left her there
on the siding. Why, what were you
thinking of? It’s frozen over like a1
wedding cake.”
"I was thinking," said the man,
"that as I know enough about them
to run one, we might thaw off the
icing with hot water and 1 could get
this young lady to Drexel in tftne to
catch the express. Any gasoline
around the place, do you suppose?"
“Why, there’s a bar’l of gasoline
back of the freight house. Been there
all winter. But, say, there’s lots ol
freight trains. You’d get killed."
“No, we won’t!"
By the time the little car was ready
the wind had calmed, and Marian,
wrapped to her ears in a borrowed
robe, sat like a queen on the soap box
the men had found for her. Ib a min
ute they were sliding along into the
darkness, their lanterns illuminating
the rails only a couple of feet ahead.
Marian was frightened, but gave no
sign. She would have risked her life
on a war balloon to get to Brighton
before twelve.
The car sped on past little stations
that were as quiet as cemeteries. No
freights overtook them, and at last
the lights of Drexel appeared.
The man held his watch cloee to
the lantern. "Good!” he cried. "Ten
minutes and we’ll be on the express
to Brighton.”
There had been little opportunity
tor conversation. In the waitlqg room
at Drexel Marian tried to thank him.
There were still two minutes before
the train was due.
"I wonder if you know how much 1
appreciate what you have done for
me, Mr.-—”
"Hays!' Endicott Hays!”
“Mr. Hays! My name Is Marian
Langley, and it is absolutely neces
sary for me to be In Brighton today.
It seems that all the heirs to the Lang
ley estate are in danger of losing a
great deal of money if I don’t have my
name on some stupid paper or other
before midnight.”
Endicott Hays looked at her in as
tonishment for an instant. Then, draw
ing a paper from bis pocket, he cried:
"And this is the stupid paper. I was
going to Brighton to find you. I’m the
lawyer in the case. They told me you
lived there!”
“And after they had discovered their
mistake, they telegraphed me to meet
you there, as you had already depart
ed,” laughed Marian, "isn’t it too
funny?”
The man’s answer was drowned in
the noise of the express as it thun
dered in. But his look held inquiry.
“I’d better get on anyway and go
to Aunt Martha's for the night,” said
Marian.
“And I’d better go to Brighton, too,
so I can come around in the morning
and be properly introduced. May I?"
“Perfectly splendid," agreed Marian,
as they boarded the-train for the re
mainder of the trip.
