It was the first political contest of ' national importance since the opening of the campaien and botn parties have been hard at work strengthiening their lines in anticipa- tion of election day. Maine is normally a republican state but owing to break in the’re- publican party in 1912 a number of the offices from United St to governor have gome to the demo- crats. It was thus a test this time mnot only of the policies of th respective leaders but it was depended |upon to show how the progressives were lining up. The portended result. t * the state going republican for gov- ernor by 11,000 or b er, or ightly under the ciaim of th re- publican leaders, with the democratic governor strongly advocating the Wii- gon policies, with both republican se-- atorial idates elected by substan- tial orities and the probabllity that all four republican candidates for conzress are chosen is highly grati- fying. This shows as nothing else could the progressives have returped almost en masse to the republican fold, that they stand solidly back cf Charles E. Hughes for president and that Maine is not endorsing the poii- cies which have been carried out by the present administration. Maine will chow an even greater plurality for the republicans in the November election and “as Maine goes so goes the nation. INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY. With New York's police force given plenty to do by the conditions brought bout by the strike on the railway es, it 1s an inteiesting appeal which is made by Police Commissioner Woods to the drivers of vehicles, and particularly to those who guide the automobiles in that city to do their utmost to observe the traffic regula- tions, even though the full number of traffic officers are not in their accus- tomed places. Just how this works out will be in- teresting to note. It has secmed best ihat the trafic police should be re- lieved of that work for the time being and given other duties which will aid in maintaining a proper observance of law and order. They zre beinz for strike duty and the police depart- ment has unquestionably a big job on its hande to attend to that alone, but Whether those who figure in the street e is seldom taken because the occasion lnfrequently arises to demand, it, but fit would be grossly unfair to the mi- litiamen to deprive them of the right to vote just because they ‘happen to be outside the state for_ the purpose of protecting the rishfs and interests of the nation and particularly the lives of their 'fellow-countrymen who, are residents in the section which is menaced, by the banditsiof the:nelghe, boring country. The duty of the assembly fsgplalnly disclosed by . the _situation.’;. Those who are voters should have, the’ right of suffrage protected, and it is not be- lieved that any long deliberations will |be_required to “bring about favorable action, With proper” supervision of the voting among the_few thousand !in the border states the!election should pass off as smoothly for.the men away from home as it would if they wera in thelr own voling districts, and it is firmly believed that the legislators will dispose of the matter:in - quick" time; jand in the right way. GREAT BRITAIN AND SWEDEN. Neither® Great Britain nor;Germany can Jook upon the situation which has developea® between the two countries | over the holding up of the:mails with any great desrce of satisfaction.,Great Britaln has from the very first been determined to. prevent-certain supplies which Germany needs from getting to it. It has recognized that much of such ‘material was s¢nt in.a round about way and that it was finding its way to the Teutons through the trade of neutral Sweden. | It is realized of course that while Great Britain has’ no'right to inter- fero with such trade as Sweden may have with other nentral nations, it has a right to enforce such a block- ode as it ean which will prevent Ger- ny from getting suppiles from Swe- den, but instead of taking this latter stop and making it effective it has chosen to do otherwise and the‘attion which has followed with that course in mina has resulted in’ the’holding up of Swederr's mail and-the‘estab- lishment of a blacklist. This latter step was takenbecause Sweden considered that if’ Great Brit-] ain had a right to interfere with fts mail, it had a similar right-and:it has been, blocking the communica- tionsshetween Great! Pritain and Rus-| sig. The British idea‘of preventing the export;of almost . everything. to Sweden in orderjto keep it from Ger-, many may be's consldered , entirely. right But the trouble comes’dn.shuf ‘ting oft-Sweden from thettrade’ with neufrals, for which there’appears to be no justification, and the result is ‘that the two nations are.in the throes ‘of note writing through.a failure, to. iget down to brass tacks’and-unders 4 each other’s position. e REMOVING ALASKA’S SHATKLES: B s e ione oer icaoimoac the Jand of much‘hidden treasure Itehas ‘been updergoing:much development in recent yeers but it has been bandi- a by lack of faciiities.

It means a test of what can be ex- pected of that portion of vehicle driv ers who are inclined to negligence and the do-as-I-please spirit when they know the cat is away, and forthat reason the experiment is going/to be followed with - close attention. It is fully beiieved that all know what ought to be done but the question i ‘Will they do it? EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: ‘Come to think about it common sensesn’t so very common after all. The democratic congress instead of decreasing the cost of living as prom- is8d has been steadily: at work ‘in the other direction. : Even before it was announced that it was costing $30,000,000 daily, the general opinion prevailed that the bat- tle of the Somme 'was some battle.

Tuey sat at the next table and we knew rMght away that they hatled from the Pink Milk Marshes'or Three Corners, Kan., and were here to have a wild and glorious time. That was cesy to deduce, because, while 1t _was the kind of a night when anything more disturbiug than iced melon would bo a deadly insult, they wero just ‘getting away with a huge broiled steak and lobster salad and French fried potatoes as we came in. “We sat down and surveyod each other in horror and amazement. It was a_ question whother we could stand belng even so close as that to steak and lobster. So we mopped our secthing brows and curiosity gave us courage. Secretly I think we expect- ed that something woird and frightful would happen if they persisted n de- vouring the stuff, but they ate placidly on.

Mr. Editor: I wish to thank you for your e] explanation in Friday's issue of The Bulletin in regard to the presence of the green flag at the cot- tage.' I heartiiy agree with Mrs. Loe- fler in wishing the gentlemen many bappy gatherings at the cottage. Now for the letter, I think Mrs. Loefler's idea of an Irish emblem must have had some bearing on her scope of vision, else she would have noticed ference in s the vast d regulation green railroaq flag which was floating over the cottage. In the first place I would suggest to this lady that in the event of the German submarine Bremen coming to New London, that she forsake the qulet town of Gales Ferry for a few hours and take a trip to the Whaling City, and if the Ger- hyphen) 1 man-American (see the spirit does not predominate, then lose my guess. And at the same tim she will witness a few German flaj floating to tho brecze. When a person not dian hlood speaks of of direct Tn- hyphenatea Americans, let him or her use the soft | pedal, for no matter of what ancestry, be he Hebrew. German, Irish or any gther nationality, there is a certain amount of respect due to his or her parents who loved their mother cou: try with as much American does for the good old U. And let me ask Mrs. Loefler to delve into the hi of the United States through the different wars, and cite a case where an Irish-American proved ‘disloyal to the trust invested in him. Is not that something of which a descendant may be proud? The hyphenated American is not striving to tear asunder the pillars that support this great republic, but still thex are mindful of the land of their fathers. As to Mrs. Loefler’s statement about g of Trish parents T have come to the conclusion that by holding the green flag in such contempt, and elim- fnating the hyphen, she is ashamed of her Irish ancesiry.
