Results in Maine also indicate that the voters are not impressed by the mud-slinging campaign being conducted by Cox and Roosevelt. The Democrats have pitched the campaign upon a low level. Personalities are being freely indulged in and billingsgate often resorted to. These tac- tics have no place ih a’ national campaign and the poor impression made by them can easily be detected by an analysis of the Maine vote. Cox’s charges of a $15,000,000 campaign fund to “purchase the presidency” did not impress the Maine voters. Probably they regard deliverance from the Democratic regime cheap at any price. The overwhelming Republican majorities cast in the Maine elections seem indicative of popular feeling throughout the nation and reflect an ear- nest desire for a restoration of constitutional government true to American ideals and tradi- tions. THE BOYCOTT When a man or men are boycotted dire trou- ble follows, The boycott is simply that state of . affairs when some combination of men refuses to have any relations with some person or persons oh account of some difference, political or other- wise. It has proven a strong weapon at times. The thing itself is not new, for Napoleon tried to establish it on England. But the name is new. And that originated in the fall of 1880. The weapon is as keen now as ever. Captain Boycott, in 1880, was the agent for Lord Earne, an Irish landowner. Tenants found ‘Boycott to be “a tough nut.” Hig severity irked them. They asked his removal; Lord ; Earne’ failed to hear the call. The tenants “framed” on Boycott. He was tabooed. They refused to work for him. His friends “cut” him. Boycott feared ruin. The crops were ripe but the tenants refused to, har- vest them. Men from Ulster saved the day by coming’in and doing the tenants’ work for them. But the system grew, and Boycotting, afterwards spelled with a small letter, became a popular means of retaliation against unjust demands. And in that way the word found its way into the language. Add benefits of suffrage: Candy is taking the place of those terrible campaign cigars. GETTING HOME AGAIN Most people, who intended taking any, have had their vacations. Now comes the joy of getting home again. ‘Red Cross critics had better not knock in the presence of an Italian earthquake sufferer. Uncle Sam will not long hold the world’s sup- ply of gold, with Cuba holding a near monopoly of booze and sugar. The former kaiser is building a log wall around his Dutch retreat. “Log-rolling” will never get that politician another job.

The Minnesota corrupt practices law has teeth in it, after all. The Supreme Court has approved the way those teeth were made to function by Judge Johnson of the District Court in the Vol- stead-Kvale case. It appears that a candidate for Congress, or any other office, cannot circulate falsehoods about his opponent and get away with it. There is a legal penalty for such action. It is the loss of his standing as a party carididate. While the Supreme Court did not follow the lower court quite to the extent of declaring that the man who stood second in the primary, Mr. Volstead, would thus become the regular Repub- lican candidate, the effect is the same. For either the Congressjonal Committee will meet and name Mr. Volstead as the nominee, or failing that, he will become the nominee under the provision of the law governing vacancies, The judicial rebuke to Mr. Kvale for falsely accusing his opponent of being an atheist, is thus a severe one. But under our defective primary law, he is not estopped from running independent- ly by petition. The Nonpartisan League will no doubt put him forward in this way, and the pri- mary battle between Volstead and Kvale will be fought over again. The result, however, may well be: preserved. Mr. Volstead will stand as the regular candidate of the Republican Party, the attempt to capture that place for a non-Republican through slander having failed. Mr. Kvale must have lost stand- ing with voters of the Seventh District by the exposure and punishment of his unfair methods. The wet influence will still be against Mr. Vol- stead as the chief artificer of the law that bears his name, but by the same token the dry senti- ment which preponderates in the District ought to rally to his support.

A friend loaned me her copy of “The Beginning and End of the Non- partisan League,” and I have just finished reading it. .The book was written by a League speaker and or- ganiger, and purports to give the ac- tual facts leading up to the forming of this organization. A few names are changed and other substitutions made but in the main it gives a truthful picture. This book was intended to serve as League propaganda but had it been written to serve the opposite cause, it)'could have succeeded no better. Under the personage of Ar- thur Parker is given the character- istics and aims of A. C. Townley, and the book frankly admits that Parker is meant for Townley. Beach Setting This Parker is: first shown 2s .a homesteader, near Beach, North Da- kota and even when he lived in a little shack out. on the prairies he ever “dreamed of great things to do by and bye.” It tells how he would mount the highest hill in his im- mediate vicinity. and gloat over all the land as far as his eye could reach, scheming and planning} how it could all become his own. Remember he did not want just a ‘| quarter or half section, such as most farmers wish for, but all of it. In order to understand this the more thoroughly the author tells that Par- ker was much given to moods and when one was on him even his child’s happy laughter so disturbed him that the mother had to quiet her. Pictured as Dreamer Thus is Parker (Townley) pictur- ed as a dreamer and schemer by one of his own followers. At last Parker hit upon the plan of buying up all this land on time, buying tractors. machinery, oil, gas, etc. all on time, and grow rich growing rich raising flax.. He had raised a good crop of flax the year before and thinks he! can do it again, on a much larger scale. He confides this plan to a friend who does not think much of it, calling Parker a dreamer, fool and a few other choice names. Personal Ambition It.seems that this friend has\also been doing some thinking and to him, in this book, is given the credit for conceiving the league, which Townley later adopted and called his own Thus personal ambition is shown to have been Townley’s guiding star right from the beginning. He was, not satisfied to gain wealth year by! year, but he was determined to take a headlong plunge—providing the other fellow paid the money. Read- ing further we find him in conversa- tion with the real estate dealer, the implement dealer and the Standard oil man, each of whom listened to his plan for developing the country andj trusted him for all he desired in the way of furthering his ambition. 12 Sections in Crop ‘Before’ the ‘summer had passed Parker had twelve sections of land broken and sown to flax. He was going to be the Flax King of the northwest. Like the amateur actréss who can see her name in letters six feet high blazing above the bill- boards, he could see himself pointed | out as a great financier. No thought of his down-trodden fellow men came to him then. A trip to California was only one of the enjoyments he planned when once he was on easy street. The chances are that had his plans succeeded he would have purchased an- other twelve sections of land the fol- lowing summer, for believe me, he was no piker when it came to spend- ing other peoples money. Too Much Tail on Kite But alas, his‘kite had too long a ground bringing with it all of his hopes and aspirations. An untoward season had hurt his crop and the price was not so good as it was the year before. This latter condition Parker blamed on the grain speculators and later on started out to get even with them. But it was no fault of the men who had trusted him, that his glitter-| tail and came tumbling down to the |. THE NONPARTISAN LEAGUE AS SEEN BY A FARMER’S WIFE| hoard of ravenous wolves descending ion the homesteader’s cot and lepving ; nothing in their wake but one lone ichicken. Just how much of this is truth I can not say, as I was’ not there but as this story was written to excite the sympathies of the reader mo doubt part of it is pure “mush.” But the world has small sympathy for a loser, especially for one who played for such high es as Parker did. After sending his family back to the old folks, Parker looks around for new and greener pastures. Played on Prejudices All this, time he has not forgotten his friends’ plan for, organizing the farmers, and with another friend, he starts out to do this. It seems as if the father of the young man whose sympathies he has enlisted is rather suspicious of. this one of Parker's plans and plainly. shows him: his room is worth more than his com: pany. But Parker persists, so they start out and meet with a fair success from the start. ‘As I said once before, show mean individual who does not like to be told he is getting the worst of a deal. and Iwill show you the eighth wonder. By finding out the personal grievances of each farmer he sooh had him so worked up that it was no trouble to get him to join such an organization as Parker pic- tured out. In his organization. work Townley also had an opportunity to sound the farm out on other subjects and this later resulted. in a golden harvest from selling stock in newspapers, stores, etc. all of which the farmers liberally subscribed to.

While going through the woods on an English estate the other day, a gamekeeper had his attention drawn by loud screeching proceeding from a clearing. On proceéding to the spot to investigate he noticed a big-gray- backed crow fly up from the ground, where bundles of fur and feathers ap- peared to be locked in combat. On going -close he perceived: that a hawk was endeavoring to retain possession of two mice, which it had fixed with its talons, while a. weasel was wor- rying the hawk, which, however, re, tained: its quarry. The’ fight ceased when the contestants became aware of | the keeper’s presence. Evidently the’ crow and weasel were determined tht the hawk should not become a food hog. The Servers and the Served. | There are just two classes of people in the world: Those who serve, and those who.are served.’ In the language of the school, there'are “plus” people and “minus” people, , There are young men who have the “plus” sign, who are giving themselves, their time, and their talent, to make life a little bet- ter and a little sweeter for those about them. On the other hand there are young men who carry the “minus” sign, who seem to have come into the world to be ministered unto, to get and to grasp instead of to give and to contribute. —Exchange.

Avery odd marriage ceremony takes place in Afghanistan just after one of Afghanistan’s brown daughters weds. Then a number of men in weird masks surround the bridegroom’s house, and after that a dozen or so men clad in black, with skeletons outlined on their skin-tight garb, dance frantically round the figure of a woman stretched on the ground. This isto teach the bride what will happen to her if she seeks affinities or does not ¢eonduct herself with proper decorum towards her: husband's moth- er; what will happen to her if she does not conduct herself with proper decorum towards her husband they indicate will be far worse. This is the naive Afghanistan man- ner of teaching women their proper places and making them properly humble. Adjusting One’s Burden. To make the thing work right youl should load up gradually.

Sergeant Ting-u-Wang Is the biggest Chinaman in the world, and one of the earth's tallest men. Wang, who Is twenty years old, stands seven and a half feet in his socks, and Is built in proportion.

Most of the time he act- ed as escort to the German prisoners as they were moved back from the front lines: He never lost a prisoner, his enormous size and strength strik- ing terror in the hearts of the cap- tives; When peace came Wang hoped to be engaged asa body guard to some rich European or American, but no such individual apparently needing his services he -has decided to go back to his farm in Manchuria, Plant Pick-Me-Ups!
