Maine, generally Republican by 23,000 or something like that, though McKlN- LEY carried it by 4S.0S2 in 1S0G, is as Republican at heart today as she has been since 1SS0, when an other PLA1STED, the father of the PLAISTED who won this time, was swept in just before President GAR' FIELD'S election; but Maino Re publicans, to tell the straight truth about it, got disgusted with Gov. FERNALD. Never a man of much mental breadth or executive calibre and al ways recognized as the pliant tool of HIRAM RICKER, the millionaire spring water bottler of Poland Springs, who put up the coin to nominate and elect the Androscoggin corn canner, DERT FERNALD has of late incurred the sincere disgust of intelligent men in both parties by trying to explain and defend the Ineffectual, even farcical prohibition law of his state. He said that Maine prohibition did actually prohibit; and every inan and woman in Maine, from the Bay of Fundy t& Ports mouth navy yard and from the Do minion line' to the Atlantic breakers at Casco and Bar Harbor, knew that statement was either gross untruth fulness or dense ignorance. The defeat of FERNALD has long been forecasted; and the worst of it was that the antl-FERNALD men were not satisfied with voting for PLAISTED but put the whole Dem ocratlc ticket into tho box straight. They made a blunder not likely to be duplicated in any other state, but In Maine it is common practice to cut the whole ticket in order to spite one unsuitable candidate. Democrats and renegade Republicans in Penn sylvania and other states who draw encouragement from the Maine re sult and predict the shifting of other stalwart Republican states to tho Democratic column this fall aro liv ing in a fool's paradise. The con test in Maine was heated by a local Issue of long brewing and the heroic effort of the Maine voters was pri marily toward the downing of one man intellectually incompetent for his office. They went too far and the result in Maine is deplorable, but it is not a result big with signifi cance tor tho party in tho nation. Only a small, mean spirit will stoop to censure the dead who can not conio back from Eternity to de fend themselves, even though it bo tho purpose of that censure to warn brothors who remain how earnest should bo their effort to avoid tho pitfalls which may have claimed older and more sagacious men. It is easy for any reasonable if not positively charitable man to speak fairly of our frionds that leavo us. Petulant outbreaks following a week behind tho mourners and tho coffin havo neither manhood nor good sense to Justify them. Tho strongth of WILLIAM McKINLEY was large ly basod on tho fact that no politi cal or personal foo of tho man from Canton was over made tho targot for viciously critical outbreaks or ovon for caustic comments that might bo taken as a reflection upon private character or personal conduct. If WILLIAM McKINLEY would not pralso a man, that man was politi cally damned by tho McKINLEY sllenco in Ohio. But tho quorolous carping of small men with an ovor weanlng vision of their own conse quence In a country county can in jure no man savo tho ono who stoops to such un-Clirlstlan tactics. That paper mill backed by ainplo Wllkes-Uarro capital should bo right wolcomo unto SteoncI If Senator GRIM intends discuss ing politics this fall ho should Im prove tho tlmo now getting hold of some facts. Tho same ndvice will apply to WILLIAM II. BERRY. Tho man who Is earning his living, who is self-supporting and whoso wife and babies have enough to eat and something to wear, has troubles suffi cient of his own. Don't bother him with yours. We aro quite inclined to tho be lief of tho Wilkes-Barro Record, a Democratic independent newspaper, that tho future of tho Keystone par ty In Pennsylvania does not appear to bo particularly brilliant. There ought to bo a rule in the Democratic party of Pennsylvania providing that in state conventions the nomination go to the second highest man. It would avoid a lot of trouble for candidates like WIL LIAM H. BERRY and would mako such parties as the Keystone unnec essary. "Be careful, brother reformer, that you speak the truth," was one of the pointed epigrams given by Col. ROOSEVELT In Pittsburg. There are a good many alleged reformers now tearing up tho sod in the past ure land of Pennsylvania politics who have little respect for the truth It is possible Col. ROOSEVELT is acquainted with some of them and knows what he is talking about. Tho Hon. CHAMP CLARK, Demo cratic leader of the house says: "If I am elected speaker of the next house I will drive a pair of Missouri mules down Pennsylvania avenue." Now Is the time for all good Demo crats to rally to the aid of their party This is about as strong an argument as we have heard for tho election of a Democratic house, and it should be used extensively in the 1910 cam paign. At the Democratic "rally day" in Doylestown, where WEBSTER GRIM lives and moves and has his being, all of 100 men, some of them Dem ocrats, tho others Republicans who wanted an hour's amusement, show' ed up to hear Mr. GRIM and Con gressman PALMER from the Water Gap talk to the faithful. Ah, but there's ono real good straw to show which way the political wind Is blowing this fall in Pennsylvania! GINGERSNAPS. The cry of the Keystone party Help, Cash-us or we sink! Hope Is expecting something we know won t happen. No one has yet invented a tire that will keep the matrimonial car from skidding. Pittsburg cannot keep out of the limelight long. Her richest spinster is to marry. Tho shiftless man Is always so religious he just lets God take care of his family. Contentment knocks at every man's door, but she is usually order ed off the premises. What a married woman doesn't know she suspects. So much more romantic, you know! Cultivate vices when you aro young, and when you aro old they will not forsako you. Willie figures won't lie, tho trouble seems to be wo don't all figure alike at election tlmo in Pennsylvania. Beware of the man who would rather boII his conscience with de ceit than his hands with honest toll. Verily and of a truth, my breth ren, it Is not always ho who pound eth tho loudest on tho bar of a taproom that bloweth tho most coin on tho thirsty In waiting. Spending money Is llko sliding down hill on a toboggan; earning it is like walking up and pulling tho toboggan after you. Guess which is best for tho logs and wind! Gov. Patterson of Tennessee, who haB red hair and a red temper, seems also to havo been read out of tho bettor olomont of his party in tho state where "Old Hickory" is laid to sleep. Can Berry como back? an exchnngo wants to know. Most decidedly not! Mr. Borry, however, can go back to the Chester brickyards which aro his only proper and legitimate Hold of usefulness. Will thoso Boy Scouts, mnrch lng a la Whlttakor, not a la Dlm mick, reel off that' four mllo tramp at a good old WoBton gait of moro than four miles to tho hour? Tho sport Is ilno on a stato road, but O you muddy Main street! Now that tho diamond has boon duly dusted and locked up for tho winter, we supposo outdcar Brother Callaway feels a whole lot better al ready. It always did gall that young man to tho marrow to havo to prosecute a Monday Interview in order to get tho harrowing details of a Sunday gatno. Tho coon and tho clown and tho Juggler and tho wiro walker and tho man that can mako oven educated peoplo beliovo ho swallows snakes allvo aro Roosevoltlcally dee-lighted to think tho Wrights and tho Cur tises nnd tho Hamiltons nnd all tho rest of tho sky pilot fraternity want ed $10,000 and tho management of the Allentown fair wouldn't cough up a skinny cent moro than $4,000! Listen I Thoso sweet, soft strains that yesterday "were wafted down tho vnlley from their first swelling point among tho gently rolling hills of Syracuse and tho salt mines were nothing moro nor less than our old friend Gammoll, tho successful vo calist of Bock lako and Honesdalo and Bethany, once moro trying out ids vocal cords for the delectation ol tho raptuous thousands assembled in tho grnndstand at tho York state fair. Huckleberries went long ago and blackberries followed them, to bo no more seen this summer; but thoro's another "berry" crop to be gathered this year in Pennsylvania. Only, tho women and the children God bless their trusting hearts nnd keep 'em from hearing tho kind of words some plain, ordinary citizens feel -sometimes forced to say about politicians can't go out into tho highways and tho byways and com pel this crop to como in! Wo wonder If Joo Daniels of Ra leigh, and Capt. Bill Gonzales of Columbia, and Frank L. .Mayes of Pcnsacola, the southern -editors wo know best and tho best southern editors wo know, aro going to hal luclnote their heads witli tho lin lipMiife nntinn that the Maine turn over is a cocksure preflgurement of n romping Bryan victory iwo years from next November! Thoy ought to know better, wo nopo may kiiuw better, it is time they knew better, but ! Knnnv Iniul nf Rvaneeilne! The Nova Scotia strawberry beds are turning out a glorious yieiu oi aop-tember-October fruit this year and Boston dealers who cater to costly onlpnroa hnvo rnntrncted for tho wholo of it at prices that will make the mouths ot the natives sneu more water than anything short of the liicxlnna rlnrk rod ITlOUtllfUl itself.
