The tendency in Decatur is lor men veil qualified to till the positions oi trust and importance. The financial I conditions lure are the best since the j memory of man runneth not to the contrary and the ueople generally! want the good credit to stand. It's an I cccasion when we should insist on' men accepting the offices w ho <un and | will conduct them in a satisfactory' manner. The third district election in Maine I v.as a puzzler and the various imlitl-i cal parties will have a hard tome lig | tiring out any particular gains made I there. The progressives mad** a hid showing and they say It was because of a lack of money. At the same rate the votes secured last year for Mr IbOObevelt must have cost a pretty pen ny. The republicans won by a small majority and the democrats cast a few leks votes than last yuir, so we ' < i.u't see where anybody lias much to celebrate over except the young man who was elect'll. Maine ha: always been known as a high tariff state and there is nothing particularly excitim: in the fact that they have coutinu. d ho, though by u rts<lwct*<l volt*

The democratic tariff revision bill 11 i became a law Tuesday evening when : it passed the senate by a vote of forty- : j lour to thirty-seven Two democrat' I ! the Louisiana senators, voted against the bill, because it places augar on I the free list. They favored a rediu ■ ! lion on the tariff of any other item I save and except sugar, but opposed I this because it affects their ow n state i One republican, Senator LaFollette, ; and one progressive, Senator Poindexj ter, voted w ith the democ rats; two re- , publicans were absent and three re I publicans and three democrats paired and did not vole. The people wanted j the revision, the democrat® as well us I other parties promised it. and the I d< mocrats have kept that promise.' We believe it w ill prove a popular i ! law in the years to come and we be-. ' lieve that the time is not far distant ‘ | when further revision will be made * and that downward.
