It i8 a case whero they must keep up appearances for it would never do at this stage of the campaign to admit that defeat stares them face, however much thes recognize the inevitable. Thé taing to do of course is to put on a good front, pres- ent a cheerful countenance and do their hest to offset the inevitable in November by making tms as to what effect the presidential contest in is going to have upon the voters over and above election which has just taken place, in which those who have in the past supported the democratic edministration and would continue to do so in the future were defeated. It was appreciated by the voters of Mainc in the selection of United States senators and representatives that they were selecting men to back the kind of an administration they desired. They are not going to reverse them- selves in November but the probabil- ity is that Mr. Hughes wil! get even o greater vote and plurality than did those who will g0 to malks up the next congress. And what s true In Maine will be found to be true In many of the other states which are 2ot already c cans. It is crats to explain that they that the republicans would Maine but they fought with that they could win and found out to the contrary. of the matter is as “We got whipped. nceded to the republi- all well cnough, for tha demo- expected in win they The fact mp Clark says, We wera beaten good and!plenty” and no ros demo- cratic prophecies as to what Novem- ber will bring forth can chznge it one lota. MUST 'RESPECT OUR RIGHTS. The holding up of the Philippine steamer Cebu within the three-mile limit of the possessions of this coun- try in the east by a British war- phip resulted in no hatm to the ves- , its officers or those on board, but It was ne theless a violation of rights which that country has asrecd to respect. That there. could have been any guestion as to the fact that the hold- 5p and examination of the Cob pers took place within the territor waters of the United States cannot questioned, and it behooves this overnment to make a strong pro- est against’ such action. This is notithe first time that such n unjustifie? visit and search has E:en committed, for it was'mot many onths azo that an American ship Wwas stopped and subjects of other na- Mans who were traveling betwoen g:utml ports were removed, only to released later on when tho facts were called to the attention of Great Britain. The present caso cannot therefore be looked upon as one where pn unintentional mistake was made. Rather must it bo regarfed »s inten- Honaljand committed at a point which pould not have heen considered out- ‘Blde tho three-mile limit. These patrolling vesscls unquestion- blyrhave a duty_to perform and they expected to do it, but that does Bovigive them' the right toviolate,in- . ternational law as they did in this ase, and this country will notisanc- 3it any more than it did the ;fi:mdu of "German submartne war- DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

It understands how reluc- tant has been the administration to give this country adequate prepared- ness as an assurance of peace and it is cognizant of the manner im Wwhich the prestige of this country has suf- fered ns tho result of the foreign Policy that has been maintained. It is recalled that the democrats lald great stress upon the extrava- gance of the republican administration and promised to practice economy, but it has kept its promise in this regard as it has kept many others by ignoring it. During the past four years the ap- propriations made by the democrats have amounted to $4,846,594,423.61, which does not include the $25,000,000 for the purchase of the Danish West Indies but that is nevertheless $1,- 046,668,666.62 moro than the appro- priations made Ly the republicans during the preceding four years, which with the increased amount for the army and navy eliminated still leaves them three quarters of a billion in cxcess at a time when economy was promised. It is only one of the many tances of how the democrats square their acts with their promises, HINDENBURG'S TASK. In assuming his new position as chief of the general staff in Germany General von Hindenburg has appar- ently seen the need of a houseclean- ing. Whether he attributes the suc- cess of the allles to the incfficiency of the German generals is of course not openly disclosed, but from the changes which he has made it is to be inferred that he does. To Falkenhayn is attributed the fail- ure to take Verdun and he lost his job because he advocated the shorten- ing of the German lines by abandon- ing the Balkans and setting up a de- fensive which could not be broken down. 1t might have been known that the kaiser would not accept such advice. He is not preparcd.to aban- don any more territory than he has to and it remains for von Hindenburz at this stage of the war to stave off German defeat. He is starting in by placing Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria in charge of all the German forces on Somme front. Berhardl is sent to ind an army on the eastern and von Mackensen has been blace in command of the Teuton, Bul- rian_and Turkish forces operating coinst Rumania from the south. this new shift will be able de of advance by the s remains to be seen. If Hindenburg €an turn the defen- ive on several of the fronts to an offensive it will be an accomplish- ment which justifies the change and which will show that he should have n called to the rescne of his coun- ng ago. THAT CANADIAN BRIDGE. Whether it is the fault of the plan,| ths construction engineers or those in charge of its erection, that bridge be- | ing built across the St. Lawrence river near Quebec has been accom- panied by its full share of misfortune. It was considered after the coliaps of a portion of the structure way back In 1907, when there was a much larger loes of life than occurred this ek, that the investigation which followed would eliminate any more errors of judgment in its construction, and the ‘progress which has since been made shows that the weak poin in the first bridze have heen over- come thus far, for the loss of eleven lives this time, to say nothing about the money loss both in property and in the further delay in the completion of the transportation line of which the bridge is the important link, was occasioned by trouble at a new point. It has not as yet been definitely as- certained what the cause of the sec- ond_disaster really was. It will b isciosed In time whether it was a engineering defect or the faffure on the part of the human element t was _involved in raising the 630 foot middle span into place. That there such a bridge of almost the same di- mensions, belng shorter by but a hundred feet, in Scotland, which has been in use for 27 years, makes it evi- dent that the cantilever type of struc- ture for such distances is not a fail- ure and that the lessons which have been taught by the trouble experi- enced in spanning the St. Lawrence thus far will cventually result in the completion of the big job, but if the bridge was doomed to ccllapse it is fortunate that it occurred as it did rather than at a time when a great many lives would have been sacri ficed, al EDITORIAL NOTES. There is nothing sadder than the farewell song tg the straw hat. There is many a state which s pre- paring to do in November what Maine did on Monday. It doesn’t look as if the dear public was getting very much sympathy out of that strike in New York. The man on the corner says: No one Is heard bragging about s garden which outdistances last spring’s seed catalogues, Many states are glad to welcome home their troops, but Villa is as far from being caught as the flag is from being saluted, Now Premier Zaimis of Greece has resigned. He has no ambition to lead that country In war and that is plain- ly what it is coming to ‘When the German soldlers are told not to eat just for the sake of eating, it i3 another way of saying that it is patriotic to go away from the table hungry. As might have been expected, when Chbief of Staffl Hindenburg began to ‘weed out the generals who needed suc* cessors he was careful to overlook the crown prince. Crocker land 'is reported to be only a mirage, but even that was more than the democrats based thelr pre- dictions on when they promised to carry the Maine election. It 1s a sorry disclosure which is being made in & number of cases re- cently: where people have been killed by autos, that the driver was without a license to operate a machine. Great Britain seems to think that 1t has a perfect right to seize and open parcel post matter, but it s unwilling to concede such a privilege to Swe- .den when its nropmz 1s involved. Ex-Governor Baldwin fsn't certain that the democrats will carry Con- necticut 'this year, and # it was known, there are reasons to belleve that there are many more in the same party who haven’t as much confidence Saw Susan and that young Bingham start out to the movies a while ego,” said the woman from across the hall, who had run in to call on Susan's mother. “She did look so pretty! And that young Bingham—" “On, my!"” said Susan’s mother dis- consolately. “That wasn't Artle Bing- ham with her!

Susan did not pine very much about this second blight on her romance. She said they were perfectly gorgeous cowboys, but nelth- er of them had eyes like the young southerner who had been so lovely to her on the train, attending to trunks and porters and things. The young southerner stayed a month in Chicago and he and Susan built at least six ideal southern homes with three-hun- died-foot nes twining over their noble fronts and retinues of colored people lining the lawns—till 1 guess mone: gave out and he had to ve amid tear: and promises of things everlasting. “I was so afraid that she really would marry the lackadaisical creature that I was actually lleved when she said she thou"h' she’d do some charity youns reformer, Bd- \wrh}zing her home. nothing more terrible than a ormer when he makes up his mind and Su: father and I nearly died. ‘The o thing that saved us was that an decided that she could never love a man who clung to frock and frowned on the theater. “She came to this decision after that college friend of Milly Jones' brother came on for a visit.

Its distinction as the seat of government of the adjacent mountainous province having been taken from it, it is now the administrative center of the coun- ty of Hermannstadt familiarly known as Saxon Land because it is supposed to have been colonized by Germans under the leadership of Hermann, a citizen of Nuremberg who arrived in this attractive locality sometime dur- ing the twelfth century. “The city, wrich boasts a.popula- tion of more tnan 30,000, three-fifths of whom are Saxons and 2 fourth are Roumanians, clings to a hillside in the valley of the River Cibin, a tributary of the Alt (Aluta) which in turn is one of the important affluents of the Danube, far to_the south. “In medieval days the last of the native Magyar monarchs accorded the city many special privileges and its commerce with the East flourished, despite the fact that during the 15th and 16th centurles it was on several occasions besieged by Turkish forces on their way through Hungary to threaten Vienna. In these days it boasted strong fortifications of which dhere remain today only a few frag- ments of walls and one or two towers standing near the municipal _theater building. The center of the old town, the main business section, is known as the Grgsser Ring, and in this quarter stands cne of the most interesting buildings of the city, the Rathaus, once the fortifled dwelling of a patrician but purchased during the raiddle ages by the citizens and converted into a town hall. It contains the achleves of the ‘Saxon Nation. Another impressive structure is the Brukenthal Palace, built by Baron Brukenthal, governor of Transylvania from 1777 to 1787. It contains a large art collection and a magnificent library of more than 10 000 volumes together with many val- uable manuscripts. The_ecclesiastical buildings worthy of consideration are: the Protestant Church of the 14th-16th century, noted for a magnificent_cup- shaped "fount cast by Melister Leon- hardus in 1438; the ‘New Church,} which belles its name in that it is nearly 500 years old; the Chapel by Elisabeth Tor, with its massive cruci- fix carved from a single block of stone, and the Greek-Oriental cathedral, built only 20 years ago. “Hermannstadt’s industrial activities are numerous and varied, its manu- factures including soaps, candles, hats, boots, linen, woolen and leather goods, horn combs, gunpowder, ropes and ma* chinery. In peace times It is garri- soned by about 8,500 soldiers, being the headquarters of the 12th Army Corps. As an adjunct of its martial life there is a military school here, and_among the popular places of recreatlon are the military swimming baths, “The nearest point on the Rou- manian border Hes due south of Her- mannstadt at the Rotenturm Pass, FLIGHTY SUSAN’S WAYS = to social settlements ranches! 1 was just at the point where I didn’t much care whom Susan married, provided he was respectable, and Artie Bingham was so nice that I almost wept with joy and relief. 1 told her father that it seemed too good to be true, after all the scares that child had given us, to have a son-in-law like Artle Bingham.

It is now reported that the demo- cratic members of congress contem- plate a bond issue to pay for the cost of the present troop mobilization at the Mexican border. That such a scheme should be en- tertained for a moment is significant of democratic folly in matters of na- tional finance. We have a_demo- cratic administration which has re- sorted to revenue devices never known before in this country in time of peace. It has lavied a penny here and a penny there; it has establisheq an income tax that discriminates {heavily agdinst a smail class of the population; it has just decided upon new and- burdensome imposts to fill a_treasury depleted by wasteful ap- propriations; but it cannot contrive to pay for a current item of military ady ministration without saddling the debt on the next generation. It is an axiom of sound financing that a debt should not exist longer than the life of the object for which it s incurred. Nowadays no one dreams of issuing fifty year bonds to pay for a road that will last but twenty years. A sane man does not borrow #00 on a promissory note to pay watchmen to guard his house for a week.
