The New York. World's J analysis
of the result; of the recent I election
in i the Third Congressional District
of.. Maine, is worthy of note as being
.the conclusions of a well-posted and
nolitical observer. The World
says: r
."-The-results of fre hotly contested
special election in the .Third Congres
sional - District of .Maine reveals' two
things. , .In the preservation ; of the
full Democratic strength ras -compared
with' the Presidential vote" last fall,
none of that popular reaction so common
to a new- Administration at Washing
ton appears." In the heavy loss of the
Progress' ves to the. " Republicans; the
third party meets with a bitter dis
appointment. President Wilson's pol-
fcies and conduct- of his .office have the
un weakened v support of -: hi . patty.
Col.', Roosevelt"! party is shown to be
less a party of . distinctive principles
than of a man." -.
-. We1 do not think there ran be any
doubt that the '. Progressive party
wil' soon be a 'thing of the past. Sever
al circumstances' indicate such an out
come. -The Republican party is an old
and a well established party. Belonging
to it is belonging, td an organization
that in times past has been powerful
and effective. The thrifty partisan,
when he takes time' to think (and he
has ; been ithinking some since last
November),; is, going to tie up with the
party that appears to have the best
staying - qualities and it - is - naturfel
to conclude that a party with the record
of the old - line Republican ' party
would stand a; better chance of devel
oping into respectable proportions than
a party of mushroom growth like that
headed last year - by Col. Roosevelt,
Ajain- the " Republican part jn is the ,
logical antipodes . of the . Democratic
party - and , voters i not i sympathizing
with the "latter will, land logically
with, the ,former, . - -
.That Col Roosevelt sees the finish
of his own party is. shown by, his re
cent flirtation, with the idea , that he
may be .made the Republican nominee
in 1916k r .. . :V . ' i'
TraOLTIME-HEALTHjOFFICERS
v
Columbus anil Forsyth counties have
Bust joined! the group of. counties em
ploying a v.-lu c-time health officer.
Seven-other .counties already. had the
full time service, i hese being Purham,
Guilford, . Johnston, New Hanover,
Robeson, . Rockingham . and Sampson.
These nine Bounties are . making no
mistake. v If the health officers come
any where near performing, their duty,
they are worth eeveraf times their
salary to their counties. ' . The health
of a county has a direct relations to
its wealth and what ismore important,
to the happiness and contentment
of its people. And healthful conditions
ttV living are not to be had without
cost.' It takes watchfulness, knowledge,
tact and conscience sand these are

"KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKi
Tne State Board of Health' gives m
timely warning when it says 'that
there is still time to get in some good
work on 'the fly.' With the' approach'
of cooler weather there is a tendency
on the part; of a great many people
to-think that it is not worth while
to keep up the fight. But the Board pf
Health -press service- advises to keep
right on '.warring on 'the pest "and it . is
good advice. -It is a. fen-to-one shot
it say si (somewhere around your prem
ises there is an accumulation: of , flyi

Vice-President Marshall : would , -have

the bill.- i ' '
Sft: H,thWa considered, the bill went
through with flying colors and with the
utmost credit to SenatorSimmons who
had charge of it in the Senate; The bill
will no.w go to conference, but it is not
believed that- its general import will
bo .affected or that' there will be'any
great difficulty on the part of the con
ferees feettme toeether on a measure
to represent the final attitude of the
party on the great' question of the tariff.
While 1 some points Will . be yielded
by the Senate conferees" and' some by
those of the House" the bill as a whole
will be what its framerS'have said vail
along it would, be a bill , revising
the tariff downward and in the interest
of the, consumers to a degree that has
not been known in this country in many
a 'day, , . 4 ... r; .tf t S -. (
The struggle now virtually at an. end,
has been a monumental one. Every
possible influence to prevent the .pas
sage of the bill, or to emasculate it.
was exerted by the interests -which' have1
for years and " years " been fattening
under a system which' operated to make
the rich richer at the expense of the great
body" of consumers. ' But 'the Demo
cratic party in both houses of Congress

Members of the party showed a fine

in the White House,..
It was a fine thing for the party
to redeem ' its pledges as it has how
practically done.- It of ten happens that
platforms are made to get in on and to
serve no other purpose. . That was not
the aim of the Baltimore platform as
