AUGUSTA, MAINE, SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 21, 1914. r PRICE TWO CENTS TEARING VEIL FROM ROCHETTE MYSTERIES Two Former Premiers of France and The Chief Prosecutor of Republic Questioned Friday as to Motives for Secrecy-Rioting During Calmette Funeral Results in Shooting Affrays Paris, March 20.—Two former pre miers of France, Joseph Caillaux and Ernest Monis and the chief public prosecutor of the republic, Victor Fabre, were questioned today by a parliamentary committee concerning their acts and their motives in hin dering the trial of the banker,' Henri Ptochette, who, it is averred, duped investors out of $3,000,000 and ulti mately escaped punishment. Deep Rivalries Concerned The death of Gaston Calmette, edi tor of the Figaro, at the hands of Mmc. Caillaux caused this secret page in the Judicial history of the country to be re-opened. Many of its phases, still obscure, are likely to be unrolled by this inquiry with its background of intense public feeling. Deep per sonal and political rivalries are inter woven with the attempts to raise the screen hiding the strange transac tions. While M. Caillaux, restless and with an air of suppressed passion, replied to the questions put to him by the members of the committee, the bells for M. Calmette's funeral were toll ing. Almost all the notable literary and dramatic personages in Paris either were in the ittle church of Paint Francis De Sales for the fu neral service or followed the hearse to the cemetery. Former President Loubct and the former premiers, Bri and and Barthou, were among the 9000 persons who went to the place of in terment. The entire route through which the cortege passed was throng ed, the spectators standing bare headed in the intermittent rain. Gauthier Succeeds Monis The gap ‘in the French cabinet caused by the resignation of Ernest Monis from the ministry of marine, was filled today by the appointment to the post of Senator Armand Eizear Gauthier, a former minister of public works. M. Monis resigned owing to allega tions that, when premier, he brought influence to bear to postpone the trial of Henry Rochette on charges of ex tensive frauds. The police and military authorities took precautions today to prevent any disturbances during the funeral of Gaston Colmette, who was shot to (Continued on Page 3—Column 5) TUG POTOMAC AND SALVAGE CREW MENACED DV MOVING ICE Curling, N. F„ March 20—The United States naval tug Potomac, which was hoarded yesterday by a salvage crew of six men after drifting derelict in the Gulf of St. Lawrence for six weeks, was Bwept by off-shore winds today Into a position of danger for both vessel and crew. The Potomac tonight was 12 miles northwest of Keppel island, off Ingorna choix bay, still fast in the drift ice that packs the gulf. The crew sent by the American consular agent Gould on forced marches of 100 miles over the bleak coast and dangerous sea ice found her tubes broken So that it was Impossible to get up steam. Twelve tons of coal that had been left aboard could be used only for heat. A snow storm was approaching and the ice was considered an active menace. Should the wind continue southeast the tug would be driven still further off shore, and assistance for those aboard would be almost impossible. Tennenbaum Trial Will Be March 24 New York, March 20—The most important of the trials resulting from the recent invasion of the New Yrork churches by the unemployed was to day set tp begin on March 24. The defendant, Frank Tannenbaum, is the youthful representative of the Indus trial Workers of the World, who led several hundred homeless men into different churches on successive nights until he and 191 of his follow ers Were arrested. Tarfhenbaum is indicated for par ticipating in unlawful assemblage, a misdemeanor. He refused to accept hail and is awaiting trial, In jail.

“Save the forests of Maine! They comprise 14,291,918 acres, furnish employment to thousands of people, protect water powers valued at $150,000,000, furnish a play ground for the nation, are the most valuable asset of the State. More timber has been 1 wasted in the past than utilized. I The community loses from forest fires many times the amount of the loss to the individual owner.”

Waterville, Me.. March 20.—(Spe cial).—These are a few of the facts stated on the big signs which the department of State Lands and For estry of Maine will shortly post all over the Pine Tree State in order to make a large decrease during the com ing summer in the loss of timber by fires. The department solicits the help of the people in the strict observance of a few precautions, some of which are: “Don't throw away burning matches, tobacco, cigars and cigar ettes; don't kindle camp fires in dry places, near logs, rotten wood, leaves and so forth; don’t kindle a camp fire at a distance from water; always to tally extinguish a camp fire before leaving it. A conference and dinner of those people residing along the Kennebec river, who are interested in forest pro tection. was held Friday morning at The Elmwood in Waterville. Wardens were appointed and a general discus sion on matters relating to the preser vation of the forests took place. The j department is going to erect several new look-out stations throughout the county, and intends to replace some (Continued on Page 3—Column 4) UNIFORM RATE OF2I-2CENTSA MILE PLANNED BY B.SJI. R. R. Concord, N. H., March 20.—A uni form passenger rate of two and a half cents a mile is planned for the Boston Maine Railroad in place of the pres ent two cent rate, according to Edgar J. Rich, the road’s general solicitor. Speaking today before the State Pub lic Service Commission in the matter of new maximum freight rates, Mr. Rich made a prediction as to the rail road's future policy regarding passen ger rates, saying that if the needed authorization could be secured it would adopt the rate of two cent and a half for its entire system with the exception of Boston suburban traffic. He estimated roughly that such an increase would produce additional rev enue of a million or a million and a half dollars a year. Members of the commission remark ed that Mr. Rich’s suggestion present ed a question of so much importance to New England that it might lie deemed advisable to call together the conference of Public Service Commis sions which met in Boston recently to consider freight rate problems. Mr. Rich said the matter would be presented formally in a few days to the commission of this state and Mas sachusetts. Hanson Believes “Ring” After Paper Belfast, March 20.—Fearing that Hon. W. R. Pattangall and members of the Kennebec "ring," as he terms it, are endeavoring to purchase a con trolling interest in his newspaper, the Waldo County Herald, former Mayor Hanson has engaged an expert ac countant from Bangor to go over the books and make a report for the stockholders before the annual meet ing. The work was commenced on Thursday. GOV. COLQUITT CALLS FOR MEN WHOCANSHOOT Border Outrages Get Quick Action by Texas Executive To Rangers Filibustering Expeditions Bring Appeal from Citizens Austin, Texas, March 20.—Reports of new disorders along the Mexican bor der, including the attempted kidnap ping of an American citizen by five Mexicans, today caused Governor Col quitt to order the Ranger force recruit ed with "men who can shoot.” "I have instructed Captain Hughes to look for more men suitable for the 1 ranger service. My instructions to him are to get men who can shoot and i will shoot when necessary,” said Gov I ernor Colquitt tonight. Captain Hughes j commands the ranger force, which has headquarters at Raymondville, Camer j on county, in the extreme southeastern section of the state. Brownville, op i posite Matamoras, is the county seat. I Cameron county citizens today asked the Governor for protection. Several I filibustering expeditions have been re ported this week, operating along that part of the Texas border. Two telegrams today formed the I basis of the Governor's action in or dering the Ranger force increased. The first reported the kidnapping of an American, Charles Ballard, by five Mexicans, near Garrizo Springs. The second was the petition from Cameron county citizens. Ballard was tied by the Mexicans and hustled to the border, according to the report made to the Governor, but while the party was crossing the Rio Grande he cut the rope which held hi mand escaped by diving. Bal lard's captors shot at him without i effect several times and then escaped, i Sheriff Gardner of Dimmitt county went in pursuit with a posse, and the rangers and United States army bor der patrol also began a search for the men, hut they were thought to have escaped into Mexico. The Cameron county petition de j clared "murder and robbery are be ing committed freely” and appealed for ranger protection. The killing of I two men. in both instances wealthy Mexicans, was cited. VILLA’S ARMY IS AT THE DOORS OF CITY OF TORREON Has 12,000 Men Investing Federal Stron= hold==The Conference at Vera Cruz Causes Speculation Constitutionalist Headquarters, Yer mo, Durango, Mex., March 20.—Gen eral Villa and his army of 12,000 reb els today invested the Federal strong hold of Torreon, the kahki-clad col umns occupied the environs of the city without opposition and today was spent in wheeling the field pieces into position to shell the Federal trenches which have been dug at every point where the Federal commander, Gen. Refugio Velasco, expects attack. His army is estimated to number 9000 men. South and southwest of the city his position is regarded as almost im pregnable by reason of the moun tains through which only three pass es run and these have been rendered almost impassable by fortifications and barbed wire entanglements. In other directions, the city is reached through the desert and high hills. Villa’s Progress Slow Villa's recent progress has been slowly, because it was necessary to repair the railroad tracks and bridges. 1 This morning, however, the road was open from Yermo, where the troops I have been mobilizing, to Mapimi and Bemejillo, which are only a few miles north of Torreon and are virtually suburbs of that city. At these two cities, after suffering long hours in the freight cars, where they -were stuffed like figs in a box and with but scant supply of water, the troops detrained and plunged into the desert.

Points at Issue The principal points discussed today were the names of trustees for the Connecticut and Rhode Island Trolley systems owned by the New Haven and the disposition of that road's so-called Sound lines. There was no serious dis agreement on any point, and it was generally understood tonight that both sides would be prepared tomorrow to submit the entire dissolution plan to Attorney General Me Reynolds and President Wilson The department of justice has agreed eo the suggestion by the New Haven that the agreement be submitted to j the road's stockholders for approval in the belief that affirmative action will be taken. Both the railroad and the government are confident that the state of Massachusetts will speedily enact legislation necessary to t>ermit the sale of the stock of the Boston Maine now owned by the New Haven. Such action probably will not proceed an agreement but the settlement will be based on the theory that Massa chusetts Will fall inline with the plans of the federal government and the railroad FAIR.

The government began today to dis pose of its regular troops in Ireland so that they may be in a position to deal with any situation that arises. The cooler men among the Loyalists and the Ulster Unionists, however, be lieve that nothing resembling war is yet in sight. Precaution Observed The army council some time ago considered the possibilities of home rule strife and instructed Lieut. Gen. Sir Arthur Pitz Koy Paget, who commands the Irish garrisons, to take all necessary precautions to main tain order and safeguard property. A general re-distribution of the forces in Ireland therefore was begun today. Two regiments were sent from the South to reinforce the Ulster garri sons, while the custom that in the event of hostilities or rioting soldiers should not be compelled to encounter people with whom they had formed friendships. In accordance with the I same rule, some of the Irish recruits were sent from the Armagh recruit ing station to England. The possibilities of a collision be tween the British soldiers and the Ulster Volunteers resulting from the superheated political feeling are rec ognized; out the leaders on both sides are trying to exert a pacific in tlutnee. John Redmond, the National ist leader in Parliament, today tele graphed the Nationalists in Belfast an urgent appeal to abandon a parade ar ranged for Sunday in Londonderry, which it was thought would likely re- suit in rioting. Sir Edward Carson, j the Ulster leader, and the members of the Ulster Council invoked calmness on the part of the volunteers. Four cabinet ministers spoke of the Ulster situation at different meetings tonight. John Burns, president of the local government board in an address on the occasion of the unveiling of his portrait in the National Liberal Club, said: “Home Rule is a question mainly for Ireland itself. Three-fourths of the people there have demanded it per sistently for years and wo have no right to listen to the demand for mon ey concessions or yield to clamor. We have no more desire to yield to lawless lawyers than to lawless laborers.” Thomas McKinnon Wood, secretary of state for Scotland, said: “We will carry Home Rule by agree ment if we possibly can, but without it if we must.” Augustine Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland in his speech, declared that the government's proposals gave Ul ster freedom from coercion for six years and that the scheme of Andrew Bonar Law, the leader of the opposi tion in Parliament, meant immediate coercion if a refend um went against Ulster. Sir John Altsebrook Simon, attorney general, said the government proposed to go steadily on, adding: “Whatever happens we will see that law and order are unflinchingly observ ed In Ulster.” Ulster Volunteers.

KENNEBEC COUNTY TEACHERS’ MEETING Day of Speaking at Congregational Church In Gardiner-H. H. Stuart of Augusta Presides-Address by H. C. Morrison ofN.H. Is Feature Gardiner, Me., March 20.—(Special). —The Kennebec County Teachers Con vention met Friday at the Congrega tional church, with a large attendance of teachers and those interested in education in our State. The morning session opened at 10.15 with H. H. Stuart of Augusta presiding. The Gar diner High School Orchestra furnished several selections in a manner that gave much pleasure to those in at tendance. After the opening invocation by Rev. Langdon Quimby, D. D.,, a brief business session was held. F. G. Wadsworth and Prin. Preble of the Hallewel! High school and Miss Mary Brigham were appointed to serve as a committee on nominations and Messrs. Hersey, Cobb and Miss Alice Ring a committee on resolutions. H. J. Chase, superintendent of the Gardiner schools, briefly extended the thanks of the con vention to Rev. Dr. Quimby and his as sociates for their kindness in giv ing the association the use of the church and its facilities. He also an nounced that dinner would be served at 12.30 o’clock at the vestries of the Congregational and First Baptist churches. “Conservation of Vision," by Dr. O. W. T urner. The first speaker of the session was Dr. Oliver W. Turner of Augusta, who addressed the meeting upon "The Con servation of Vision." The Doctor gave a brief description of the structure and funeton of the eye. He referred to the dangerous character of Ophthal mia Neonatorim as regards the loss of sight and transmission and the im portance of following out the provision of one of our state laws which compels the notification of some physician in every case of red and inflamed eyes occuring in infants within four weeks of birth. He touched upon the acci dents of childhood from the careless handling of sharp implements and al lowing the use in play of such deadly sight destroyers as air guns, bean blowers, arrows, etc.; to household in juries, as from chopping wood, open ing boxes, driving nails and tacks; to golf ball injuries occurring from the cutting into cores of golf balls; to workmen’s injuries and the necessity of wearing protecting goggles in ma chine shops and factories; to wood al cohol blindness, which endangers the sight to such an extent that even the inhalation of the fumes is so injurious that there is not the slightest excuse for Its use for any purpose. Sympa thetic inflammation from injury to one eye and the danger of using patent medicines in the eyes were mentioned. The speaker advanced a strong argu ment for a proper regard for the ar rangement and brilliancy of light when using the eyes. Hereditary influences in eye development were clearly illus trated, the doctor stating that until the seventh or eighth year of life the eye does not reach the development for close use, and considered that this fact was an argument that children should not be sent to school until the eighth year. The danger of reading in bed, which effects the eye structure and causes a nervous strain upon the brain and a reference to the eye fatalities that occurred in Germany in 1912, caus ed by viewing the eclipse, when 3500 individuals suffered greater or less eye Injuries and 500 eyes were made blind closed his interesting address. kCare of the Individual in Education,” by Pres. Aley of U. of M. The next speaker was Robert J. Aley, Ph. D., president of the Univer sity of Maine, who spoke upon the "Care of the Individual In Education.” Dr. Aley's address was of much Inter est and he was listened to by an audi ence whose attention betokened their interest in the subject matter of the diocourse. Dr. Aley said in brief that school children may be divided into 5 classes sub-normal, normal, those re tarded because of neglect, those re tarded because of disease and those gifted above the normal. We have iri recent years given considerable atten tion to the care and training of sub normal children and some of the best intellects of the country have been employed. Special schools and special homes have been established for the express purpose of lifting such chil dren to as near the normal as possi ble. The child of neglect has also re vived attention and those have been found whose food and environment have been entirely out of harmony with the progress which they should make. In education. It has even been found necessary in the crowded centers of the country to furnish not only medi cal treatment but also proper and nourishing lunches. Attention has also been paid to the moral surroundings 1 and environment. In fact medical in- j spection which is now so popular In educational circles throughout our state had its inception because of these neglected children. Cases often arise where the child is short in its development along but one tin® being in all others normal. These cases have not been treated justly in the past. The deficiency is often due to stunted growth which will in time take care of itself. Greater flexibility should enter Into our courses of study and is so doing. The Normal child has been taken care of for many years by the "mass method and this has not been produc- j tive of the best results. The gifted 1 child—the child above the normal—has been handled with the idea that less attention should be given them as they would be able to look out for themselves and this has been the practise all through our school history. This is probably the reason why the great men of our country are not pro ducts of our schools but those who have in a measure educated them selves. Each child bas certain rights and the first is the right to Ire understood rnd the second is the right to be treat ed In harmony wih his or her nature. Every child should not only be taught the value of individual work but of team work as well. We have had re markable Industrial development in re cent years and this has depended largely In the number of leaders who have been pulling: their fellows for ward. The time has arrived when the gifted class must be taken care of ed ucationally, and already some of the higher education institutions are so doing. The speaker closed with a quo tation from Geo. P. Brown of 111. "Our schools will never be one-half as good as they should be until they cost twice as much.” “Changing Conceptions of Rural Ed ucation,” by F. W. Wright, Cam bridge, Mass. At the conclusion of Dr. Aley's re marks Frank W. Wright of Cam bridge, Mass., spoke upon "The Changing Conceptions of Rural Edu cation." Starting with the assertion that every school should turn its fin ished product back into its own com munity he said that the rural school problem was one of the great educa tional problems that remain unsolved today. There are 180,000 one-room schools in this country being taught by people wrho are giving their lives for little reward. The rural schools are the one phase of life which has not kept pace with the advancement made in all other rural afCairs. The j agitation on this subject has but just begun but more people are thinking about the matter and inevitably something will result from their thinking. This problem is a weighty one for Maine for there are 360,S40 people living in the rural sections of Maine and this is 48 and 6-10 per cent, of the total population. Of the chil dren attending school there are 82, 068 in the rural schools and 62,200 in urban schools. Mr. Wright referred to the recent tests made by the Russell Sage foun dation in New Hampshire and said the following had been the questions formed as a result of such an inves tigation. First, does the school recog nize the ability and environment of the various pupils? Second, do they recognize the present and future needs of these children? Third, are the children being taught to organize their knowledge so that they can use it? Fourth, insofar as the state aids its schools should it not aid them uni formily? The only way to enrich the school is to begin with the teacher and Maine is paying but 17 cents per day per pupil, to its teachers; 523,210 teachers are working today in the United States; 100,000 will stop at the end of the year and 115,227 are now taking training; 23,000 will be grad uated this year and go to work. How many of this number will go to the rural schools. Is it not time that something should be done? Afternoon Session The departmental sessions began at I. 30 o’clock, the secondary school teachers meeting at the High School building. William C. Cowing of Win throp presided and called upon Prof J. L. McConaughy to speak on "Three Popular High School Falacies." Prof. McConaughy said in part: The three falacies popular in High school work today are that the High school is a college preparatory school, that its studies must be made attrac tive and that its aim is to prepare pu pils to make a living. One out of every six High school pupils enters college, and theother five enter life; only one out of every two will grad uate. But High school teachers, studies and methods are oftep plan ned for the one college preparatory student, while the other five are neg lected. High school education is being sug ar-coated, made easy to the pupil. If a course is not interesting to the pu pils, the fault is the teacher's. All learning is being crammed onto a five-foot shelf or in predigested pack ages. The rod, thank God, is gone, but God forbid the Montessori system should ever come. We are doing everything for boys and girls, giving them playgrounds, teaching them games, making learning easy, attrac tive and accordingly spineless. Our High schools recommend only two hours of home study, and HO per cent, efficiency on a report- wins the pupils praise. No wonder many a boy, truined in such easy, lax methods, fails before the exacting demands of business life, where nine hours of faithful accurate work and 100 per cent, efficiency are required. Farm chores, five-mile tramps to the little red schoolhouse, with a taskmaster and his ready rod, study by log fire light—these made the men whom New England calls her great sons. Does the modern splendidly equipped High school teach the same persistency? Vocational schools will lead to stratification of education. America will be like Germany, where each boy learn's his father’s trade and follows his position in life. Creators and lead ers must be trained as well as fol lowers; head power is worth more to a nation than hand agility. French business men were chagrined at the failure of their employes, well trained vocationally, but lacking in mental power; they asked to have Latin re introduced into their schools. Our High schools must prepare for life as well as living. At 3.30 the teachers of the elemen tary schools met at the Congregation al church where Miss Malllan Reed of Gardiner acted as chairman. A feature of the convention was the real music furnished by 24 little folks from Grades II, III and IV of the Gardiner schools under the direction of Miss Gertrtide Sharman. Several selections were sung and the result delighted the listeners. W. A. Mallert The first speaker at this session was W. G. Mallert, principal of th» Farmington State Normal school, who took for his subject “The Prob loms of the Elementary Sehols.” He said in part that the problems of the i elementary schools might be classified in brief as follows: First, curriculum; i second, discipline; third, the teacher (or from the teacher’s standpoint, the superintendent!. The first problem arises out of our inability to agree as to what an elementary education is. The object of the early schools was I stated "that learning may not be buried in the graves of our fathers. but a later view is a training for a life work. An education consists not merely in the acquisition of facts but also the discipline of the mind. If religious or industrial education is lacking in the church, home or else where everybody Is likely to turn to the school for the filling of the need. Changing conditions of daily life in the home release in a measure the boy or>girl from many of the duties of the boy or girl of the past genera tion and the placing of duties has fallen upon the school, in a measure. Beside the acquisition of facts by the pupil is the discipline or training of the mind to keep at a thing until its completion. The problem of the cur i ricuium is to provide opportunity for the pupils to work and it must offer opportunities to work for things that are the most useful In life, or in other words the school should furnish the means to live w-ell as well as to be producers. Just how much arithmetic, grammar or history should be given is a matter of individual judgment, but Prof. Mallert stated that he be lieved that the child should be given as much if not a little more than they were able to do. Discipline is a serious problem in every school system and for this there is no problem like work. Boys and girls should be taught to do things not because they like to do them but because they ought to be done. The drudgery of the school will be done by those who do the drudgery in the home so that the teacher’s problem is with those who do none at home. The third problem, the teacher, can be solved by the teacher alone, and the power of solution depends upon herself alone. The teacher who is likely to give the superintendent the most trouble is the one whose person5 alitv has not been developed; who is timid and lacking in confidence. The teacher should develop the power of the initiative, for a superintendent likes a teacher with progressive ideas. Miss Ella G. Quinn After the address of Prof. Mallert i he High school chorus sang But the Lord is Mindful of His Own” very nicely and this was followed by an address by Miss Ella G. Quinn of the Washington Normal school, on "First Aid.” Her address was of much in- j teres* and her talk on the use of j bandages illustrated by actual use. At 3 o'clock the convention re-as sembled in general session and a short business session occurred in which the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Pres., W. O. Her- sey of Oakland: Vice Pres., A. N. Sanborn of Waterville; Sec. and j Treas., Miss Alice M. Richards of j Gardiner. These together with Geo. F.. J Paine of Vassalboro and C. M. Per- j kins of Waterville comprise the ex ecutive committee. The committee on resolutions reported and the resolu tions presented were unanimously adopted. Hon. H. C. Morrison The last speaker of the convention was Hon. H. C. Morrison, state su perintendent of public instruction in New Hampshire. His subject was “liberty Under the Law in Educa tion.” His address follows: Liberty Under the Law in Education. The public school system of every i American state is an instrument of government. Wherever the constltu- i tional right of a state to levy taxes for the support of public schools has been brought in. question, the courts of j last resort have with substantial unanimity said education may lawfully be maintained at public expense since such maintenance is for the safety of the commonwealth. The founders of our government saw clearly that the great democratic experiment to be tried on this continent must rest its only hope of success upon the intelli gence of the great mass of citizens. It was said then, and the statement has been again and again reaffirmed, that you may govern an ignorant people but only an educated people can gov ern itself. The public school system of this nation, in law’, in the spirit of our institutions, and in the convictions of many generations of Americans, has as its sole excuse for being, the eleva tion of the general level of intelligence of each generation to a point com mensurate with the needs of a society which is constantly increasing in com plexity. The principle which I have stated is more profoundly important today than it was when the founda tions of our government were laid. It has been said that at each presi dential election something like 10 per cent, of the total vote cast is the vote of young men who have come to the voting age since the last presidential election. The students who are at tending our high schools today will certainly hold the balance of power in this State and in every state at a period no more remote than the be ginning of the next decade: and the balance of power in the subsequent decade will be held by those who are now children in the elementary schools. What the complexion of society is to be, not 100 years hence nor 50 years hence, but less than 25 years hence, is being determined In the public schools now. Meaning of Temperance Wave. There can be little doubt that the nation-wide wave of legislation in re straint of the liquor traffic is intimate ly related to the fact that a generation has come of voting age since laws for the instruction of children in tem perance physiology were first placed on the statute books. There can be no doubt that the widespread deter mination now existing in the nation for better government, for more efficient social life, for a more sympathetic un derstanding of human welfare, is also related to the enormous Increase of en rollment in our higher institutions of learning which began about 1880. I might go on and cite case after case which makes evident the principle that, as are the public schools today, so will society and so will government and so will human welfare be at a period w’ithin the life time of people who are already in late middle life. The power which can direct the type of education given in our public school system is the power which can deter mine what New England and w hat the United States shall be at an earlier day than most of us have been in the custom of thinking. I do not hesitate to say that the men who have grown accustomed to control the life of the business community during the last few years are thoroughly alive to the principle that the public school system is indeed an instrument of government and that it is within their power to de termine the character of American so ciety within their lifetime by con trolling the public school system. We are rapidly coming face to face with the question, “Is America to be what the fathers intended it to be, or is it^o become the home of a stratified society from one stage to the next of which it shall be very difficult for any child to pass?” College Control of Society. Our present educational scheme is based upon the college, that is to say, it is determined a priori what a col lege education ought to be. Then our high schools are for the most part so organized as to prepare for the college standard, or, in other words, to pre pare for admission to college. In their turn, the grammar schools must pre pare for admission to high school and ultimately for the same predetermined college standard. The fact that a very small percentage of children ever go to college does not in practice very seriously enter into the question. The whole drift of teaching and the whole organization of the course of study in the grammar school and in the high school is determined with ultimate ref erence to the preparation for college of the few who do go to college. Therefore, as it seems to me, 1 am well within the truth when I state that the power which controls the col lege can control and does control the type of American society in the next generation. As a people we have ceased to be patient with the absolute control of our avenues of communica tion and transportation by private in dividuals who are not responsible to the people. Can we as a people safe ly permit the destinies of our children and the future of the nation to be committed to the determination of private boards and other governing bodies in no sense responsible to the people of the several states? It seems to me that there can be but one an swer. I want to point out to you, as I probably do not need to point out, and through you to the people of your communities, that under existing con ditions such an irresponsible control of our public educational system does in fact exist. The whole history of institutions which have developed in accordance with Anglo-Saxon ideas of government and of freedom can be summarized by saying that it has been one long strug gle for liberty under the law. As a people, we have never desired license. We have learned that that is not lib erty. We have learned that there is no liberty except the liberty that is under the law. But we do insist that our law makers and officers and all, in a word, who exercise functions which are essentially governmental in char acter shall be held strictly accountable to the people. I have pointed out that the power which controls the college under ex isting conditinns can control the ef fect of our educational system. The College Board. So long ns our several New England colleges were all independent institu tions, so long as our public school au thorities could deal with each institu tion on the merits of each case as it might arise, the relations, although il logical, were natural enough and wholesome enough and under those conditions several generations of strong men grew up, passed through our public high schools and eventually through our colleges, and became strong forces in their several spheres in the cnmmnity. But you can no longer do that thing. Sixteen of the most important colleges in New England are banded together in a community of interest known as the j New England College Entrance Certifi- cation Board. You may have dealings with one of these institutions in your own state, but the issue must ultimate ly be decided in all essential matters by a body of 16 men, only a few of whom come from your state and none of them holding any relation of legal responsibility to the people of your state. The board decides for itself what constitutes preparation for college, what constitutes a satisfactory curric ulum, staff of teachers and equipment for a high school. Your high school may, by making application and by satisfying the requirements, be recog nized by the board. Its continuance in this recognition will depend upon the career of its pupils, mainly in the first half year of their college work. If a student or students make an unsat isfactory record at one or more of the colleges represented upon the board, then you may be notified that your graduates are excluded from admission on certification to any college upon the board. You may send 100 students to colleges represented on this board. In one of the colleges, one or more stud ents may fail to secure satisfactory mark:! in the first half year of their college residence, and you are liable to be notified, and probably will be notified, that your high school is re fused further recognition and that you may not send pupils to any of the col leges represented upon the Board ex cept by examination,—and a college entrance examination is a dark and bloody mystery which no mortal has yet explained. Where Is the Blame? Now, how about these students who fail in this first half year of college work? Is it necessarily the fault of the high school that they fail? Does it necessarily argue inefficiency amongst teachers? I refuse to admit for one moment that, when a pupil has had a creditable record In the high scheol and passes from the high school to college and fails In the college, the pre sumption is at all against the high school, but that on the contrary it is against the college. I refuse to admit for one moment that teachers in our public high schools of adequate edu cation and of prolonged experience are to he rdjudged necessarily inferior as teachers to the young tutors and other college instructors fresh from some graduate school and with no shadow of training or experience as teachers themselves who happen to be in charge of the freshman class. I have seen it naively remarked that the reason why a student whose record in the high school was good had failed in college was because he became too interested in athletics. Very good, but tvho is in charge of this student? Who is re sponsible for him after he gets to col lege? Is the high school to be forever responsible for his going in and com ing out? Likewise, I have seen in more than one case good high schools condemned because a young lady grad uate found college work so easy during her freshman fall that she plunged into the social whirl and fell by the wayside. Is the high school responsi ble for her failure? Turn the Situation Around. Let us turn the situation around. These 16 colleges hold charters from state governments. Suppose that the six New England States should con stitute a joint commission with author ity to revoke the charter of any of these colleges when it was found that two or more of their graduates failed in life the first half year after gradu ating from college. How many char ters do you suppose would be In exis tence a year hence? And yet, that would he precisely as reasonable as the present attitude of the colleges which are members of the New Kng land Board. Nay, it would be more reasonable, for this imaginary joint commission would have been created by lav,- and would have been responsi ble to the state government which created it, and the men representing the colleges on the New Kngland Board are in‘no sense responsible to the peo ple, or to the high schools, or to the teachers. Thera is one other little sec tion in the rules and regula tions of the New England Board upon which I wish to comment. "The Board may withdraw approval from a school at any time and from such school certificates will not afterwards be accepted until it shall have been approved by the Board.” I presume that regulation is innocent enough, but if people do not wish to be under sus picion they should avoid all such reg ulations. in the light of things which have happened, school authorities who are responsible to the law cannot be blamed if they suspect that that clause is simply a club which interested mem bers of faculties may hold over the heads of high school principals and superintendents who speak their minds too freely. The Effect on Town. Now what is the effect in your town or mine if the high school is dropped out of the good graces of the New England coilege board? First of all, it is n notice to the people of that community that their high school cannot prepare for college, and in the minds of most of those people that is a fact equivalent to eternal educa tional damnation. Practically speak ing, it means that two or three well to-do, influential citizens, who have amongst them two or three boys and two or three girls whom they want to get prepared for the special demands of a particular college at public ex pense, turn upon the school committee and say, "What kind of a principal and what kind of teachers have you in that school anyway?" I sympathize with the school committee, for they rarely understand the situation. The principal and the teachers forthwith begin to bend their energies for tne next two or three years to getting back into the approved list of the board. If there are 100 children in the high school, there are usually not more than !0 who will ever go to college at all, uid not more than half a dozen, per -iaps, who will ever go to one of these colleges. And yet the principal and die faculty are frequently made to feel that their whole reputation is staked jpon the record that this half-dozen, more or less, is going to make when they come under the frequently infe rior teaching power and the lax disci pline of some one college out of the number. Of course injustice to and neglect of the great mass of the pupils s inevitable. The principal of a small nigh school in my state told me not ong ago that in spite of all he could Jo two of his faculty of six spent the arger part of their interest and ener gy on one or two children of well-to Jo families who might eventually go So some college represented on the Board and who, as they well knew, must at that time be sufficiently well 'rammed so that they would automat callv get by any kind of teaching in :he first half year of college. 300 High Schools Dominated. Now it appears that there are in the .•ieinity of 300 high schools in the New Sngland states under that kind of domi lation. Wherever one of those high schools is, the elementary schools by a simple process come under the same kind >f domination. In other words, it is not :oo much to say that the content and he teaching of public education in the six New England states is far more tin ier the government of an irresponsible tody than under that of the duly con stituted public authority. For the time jeing, this board of delegates from 16 lO'.leges are determining what the type if the dominant influence in society in Mew England shall be less than a sen sation hence. Surely here is not a con iition which can fairly be described as iberty under the law. I do not wish to be misunderstood. M'elther here nor at Manchester last nonth has it been in my heart to up braid individual members of college r acuities. The men serving on this ward are, as individuals, most estimable jentlemen. Some of them are my warm personal friends. It is a condition that am striking at and not at individuals. Again, I do not wish to be understood as asserting that college entrance require ments are too hard. They are not too hard. It is not a question of what is re tired and what is not, nor of how much at this or how much of that, but- it«is i-ery much a question as to w'ho requires it. Once more, I have been urged to offer constructive criticism. Construc tive criticism has ceased to be a virtue, rhe school people of each of the New England Ftates have been offering con structive criticism for many years past in quantities sufficient to fill a public library, but except in one or two minor instances, criticisms, suggestions, peti tions have been ignored and will continue to be ignored, for it is the very essence of irresponsible government to be au tocratic. A More Insidious System. But the Invisible government in educa tion is not limited to the New England college entrance board. Behind the board and behind the colleges constitut ing the board is a more distant and a more insidious system conceived for a worthy purpose and capable of accom plishing great good and calculated to ac complish great good, which it In part un doubtedly does accomplish. Nevertheless it is true that public education and all education in this country is more and more being determined by bodies like the Carnegie Foundation for the Advance ment of Teaching. It is very significant that a commission appointed by the Car negie Foundation to make an educa tional survey of the state of Vermont issued among its findings particular com mendation of Middlebury College for its membership In the New England college entrance board and at the sa^ne time recommended that Middlebury should forthwith cease to perform the functions which it has recently been endeavoring to perform for the common life of the state of Vermont. In a word, that it should cease to attempt to give any training for high school teachers and that It should lay aside Its cournes in the practical arts.

Freight Prepaid to Your Nearest Railroad Station Oren Hooper’s Sons 482-4 Congress St. Opp., Preble House Portland, Maine nneJiildtf the United States are to receive pensions and what faculties are not to receive pensions, and when it may decide what educators outside of colleKe faculties are to receive pensions and which ones are not to be thus endowed, and at the same time finds Itself so placed as to be devoid of any responsibility whatever except to itself and possibly to the donor of its funds, then that group Is certatnly in a very enviable position. Whenever such a board as that govern ing the Carnegie Foundation or the Rockefeller Foundation or In control of similar huge sums of money adds to the business of carrying on a National pen sion bureau, the side line of investigat ing and reporting upon the whole matter of professional education throughout the United States and conducts surveys of important cities and even of sovereign states, then it certainly has in an im portant degree enlarged it* sphere of usefulness. And when In connection with all this it contrives to make itself a bureau for the recommendation of col lege presidents, state commissioners of education, superintendents of schools in important cities and officials and em ployees of the United States government, it lias further considerably enhanced its usefulness. A board of 22 very distinguished men with head offices in New York City may have a collective wisdom in educational matters in every way superior to that of the people and their responsible officers of 48 states. It is quite conceivable that such a board, actuated by purely altru istic motives, would be able to direct the whole education system of America more wisely than could anybody else. But, such a power is not consonant with the free development of our institutions. It is not an instance of liberty under the law. It is not an instance of responsible government. It such functions need to be exercised for the country as a whole, then they should be exercised and paid for by the United States government, and not by any private, voluntary and irresponsible body whatsoever. Maine’s Independence. Your own State of Maine is, so far as 1 know, the only state In New England where large liberty under the law pre vails in education. You have here under public control the whole educational system from the kindergarten to and through the university. So long as you maintain that condition, you at least know that the sovereign State of Maine controls its own educational system from top to bottom. Tlie control may be wise or unwise. That doesn’t* particularly matter compared with the vast.y greater consideration that it is under your con trol and not under the control of boards or interests which have no responsibility to the people of Maine. The University of Maine has taken the step which all colleges of their own mo tion ought to be willing to take. It has divested itself of the privilege of saying what kind of an education the youth shall receive before he goes to Orono. It has left that, as it should be left, to the responsible officers of the State and of the towns and cities of the State. It has receded from the position occupied by TO RELIEVE RHEUMATISM the body-waste producing uric acid must be gradually arrested and the blood purified. Correct diet is essential.

It apparently recognizes that the most precious years of life, so far as education is concerned, are those of childhood, and that next in importance come the years of adoles cence, which is the high school period. It apparently sees clearly that it will serve the people and will serve civiliza tion best by building upon the work done by a great system of public schools rather than by compelling therrt or at tempting to compel them to shape their work with reference to its demands without regard to the present *ceds ol boys and girls in the public scltools. I should not have ventured to accept your invitation to address you hoi* toda> were it not for the fact that I feel that all people in the New Kngland states will cease to tolerate this condition as soon as they become acquainted with the tacts, and I come before you to make this plea, because I think you are In a better position than anybody else to ex plain the facts to the people. Men of substance and large means and people of small means alike In years gone by have contributed liberally and often beyond their means to the sup port of higher education. I am sure that we are all grateful for the gifts which have gone to our colleges from the large number of contributors of moderate en dowments. I am sure that we are atl glad when we read that a rich man has contributed liberally and without re striction to the work of education no matter where that work Is. But when it comes to the point where men of fab ulous wealth, instead of giving thair money themselves, create a self-perpet uating board to distribute their gifts under such conditions as a hoard may prescribe, then I say that the proper response of a free people Is the response of the apostle of old, "'Thy money per Isheth with thee." It is said that the big blizzard of February 1.1 moved the heavy trestle and railroad track of the Mount Washington cog railway, at the point known as the Skyline trestle, north of the Jacob's ladder trestle. ;The line was blown some distance out *>f align ment by the fierce blasts whlefi swept the mountain side, and their force may be imagined from the fact that the tracks of the Mount Washington rail way are laid on a heavy trestle of heavy timber, firmly bolted to the stone of the summit.

'Tis death to me to be an enmi ty; I hate it, and desire all good men’s love.—Shakespeare. The Lessons of the Facts. A joint committee of the state or ganizations of Republicans and Pro gressives, late Wednesday at Parkers burg, W. Va,, reported a resolutior calling upon both factions to recom mend to the voters that they co operate and carry out the principles of the Huntington and Charleston con ventions of 1912. Both parties con sented and it is believed that har mony has been established. A thor ough working agreement has been adopted, although the Progressives re tain their separate identity. In the general primaries Republicans and Progressives will both run on the ticket, the high man later being sup ported by both parties. The Maine Republican organization made overtures to the Progressive or ganization in this State, looking to an understanding of the sort reached in West Virginia. They were not even granted courtesy. They met flat re fusal from the Progressive organiza tion, without Qualification or sugges tion of desire to consider the matter or refer it to the rank and file. The same spirit was shown last Tear when John A. Peters made an open, fair and square offer to the Pro gressive candidate in the Third dis trict election. The same intolerant, Pharasaical position was maintained by a few leaders without regard to the desires of the rank and file—"God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men ere, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.” And yet these same men and those who followed Roosevelt with them, had dictated the platform on which Republicans stood, apd invited them to stand and nominate their candi date, if they were as strong as they claimed to be. Farmers’ Information Bureau. W. K. Mitchell, auditor for the farm ers’ warehouses of Washington and Idaho, announces the establishment in Spokane of an interstate farmers’ in formation bureau to be opened April 1. Linked with the establishment of the information bureau is the an nouncement that the farmers at their annual convention in May will he pre sented by State President L. C. Crow with a comprehensive scheme for marketing all their various crops, sim ilar in scope and operation to the North Pacific Fruit Distributors, which last year marketed the apple and oth er crops of the Pacific northwest to the great advantage of the growers. "The purpose of the information bu reau,” sta'tes Mr. Mitchell, "is to bring buyer and seller together. If the farm er wishes to buy or sell live stock, exchange his farm for city property or some business, bond the warehouse manager, buy insurance, a steamship ticket, or any commodities, in carload lots or by parcel post, the informa tion bureau is there to help him. In addition to containing names and ad dresses of all the farmers’ institutions, such as warehouse companies, co-op erative stores and the like, the year book, now in preparation, will have at tides by recognized leaders of farm ers on various topics. The federal office of markets in the Department of Ag riculture has signified its willingness to co-operate in the work. "This information bureau will not handle any commodity, but will mere ly act as an intermediary, it will dis courage farmers entering into any oth er lines of business than farming ex cept in self-defense against unjust prices, but where farmers do find they hare to organize it will throw behind those organizations the full force of its influence, which will be considera ble, as already there are 10,000 organ ized farmers in this jurisdiction and as many more in adjoining states. The bureau will not give prices to an in dividual farmer to the disadvantage of his home institution, such as co-oper ative store or warehouse. Neither will the bureau seek to array the farmer against other business interests al ready established. The bureau seeks to bring the farmers into closer touch with their locals, and for that reason will send its trade sheets to the lo cals, but not to individual farmers.” We hope there may be some hints for farmers, granges, boards of trade and Boom Maine enthusiasts in this part of the world. In the Pacific north west they are doing things, as we have ample evidence. They are cer tainly marketing their apple crops, and we, Maine raisers of apples, are their patrons. We pay as much for Oregon and Washington apples as we do for California oranges—AND WE DON’T RAISE ORANGES! Chicago is not riotously enthusiastic over the newly imported but far from newly laid Chinese eggs, which have just appeared in the markets.

Is it a British or even an inter national commission, or just an Uncle Sam representative?

He named that pocket "God’s World” and, when asked for a “chaw” by persistent borrowers, his reply was: "I haven’t a bit in God’s world.” He kept his j tobacco in another pocket. Mine Accidents. Twelve coal miners were killed every working day of the year during 1913. In an army of 728,355 men, there were 2,785 deaths, according to a report Is sued today by the United States Bu reau of Mines. This is an increase of 25 deaths over the previous year 1912 and gives a fatality rate of 3.82 in ev ery 3,000 men employed as compared with 3.27 in 1912. Six thousand more men were employed in 1913 and the increase in production was between 30,000,000 and 40,000,000 tons. Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the Bureau, in commenting upon the rec ord for the year said: "An examina tion of the statistics develops the dis appointing fact that in our coal min ing operations during 1913, there were killed 425 more men than during 1912. This is an increase of 18 per cent in fatal accidents, with an increase of only about 8 per cent in coal produc tion. We find little comfort in the sug gestion that this increase may in part be accounted for by the occurrenoe during 1913 of four large mine explo sions was 213 greater in 1913 than in 1912, the number of explosions in which more than five men were killed was only ceven as compared with ten ex plosions in 1912. In fact the statistics show an increase in fatalities during 1913 from all the underground causes except mine fires and surface acci dents.” Two'Counties to Watch. If they re-elect Ferd Stevens in An droscoggin, and Wilbur Oliver in Sag adahoc, it will be apparent that the people desire enforcement of law and clean moral conditions. If these two sheriffs are defeated it will show quite conclusively that the people as a ma jority are opposed to decency; that they prefer "personal liberty” to moral progress. Hon. Cyrus W. Davis, ex-Secretary of j State, was in tlie city yesterday and was warmly greeted by his many personal and political friends. Mr. Davis had words of encouragement and good cheer for his Democratic associates, and said from quite an extended trip over the State he was satisfied that prospects of Democratic success were very bright. He found that the best of feeling pre vailed in all the districts which sent Democrats to the last Legilature, and i these districts would not change front 1 in September next. To these reliably Democratic districts there was the best of reasons to believe that enough more will be added to insure i Democratic control of the next Legisla i ture. He predicted a clean cut Demo cratic victory in the next State election from Governor down through the several legislative branches.—Portland Argus. Yes, he told the beer trust convoca tion at Chicago practically the same thing; but his "clean cut victory” was tike his State printing record discredited by the court. The death, Monday, in Bourne mouth, Eng., of Lieutenant General Wilmot Henry Bradford removes the "Father” of the British army. Being at the Austrian court when a boy, his father chaplain to the British am bassador, he had many opportunities to see and make the acquaintance of famous men. He recollected sitting at the knee of the Emperor Francis II., father-in-law of Napoleon, at a court concert. He took riding lessons with the Duke of Reichstadt, Napoleon II., as the Bonapartists call him. Per haps he was the only Englishman on terms of Intimacy with "L’Aiglon.” Since the enactment of the enlarged homestead law 211,000,000 acres have been classified by the United States Geological Survey as nonirrigable and designated by the Interior Department as enterable under this law in 320-acre tract3, the limit being twice that al lowed under the original homestead law. During the month of February 3, 312,206 acres were thus classified by the Survey and thrown open to entry by Secretary Lane. The States most af fected were Colorado, where 1,129,000 acres were so designated; Montana, with 1,590,000 acres; and Oregon, with about 300,000 acres. Chicago methods have ever been of a somewhat highhanded order and here is an illustration. The clerk of the district court several months ago was notified that all employes’ sal aries must he paid out of funds not to exceed one-half of the office’s re ceipts. Judges Carpenter and Lan dis investigated and decided that none of the employes could be spared, so drew an order for the payment in full of all the employes. It will now be watched to see how far the Washing ton Democratic government will go ir blocking the steps of justice in tht Chicago courts. The Brockton, Mass., woman of 81 years, who was going to marry a lac of 34, may have been a little lacking in good judgment, but showed plainly that she had recovered it when she promptly turned him down when she found that he drank. She also then transferred the title of her real estate to her daughters and decided that s'ne can live the balance of her life on what money she has and dispense with a husband. Big rallies are being arranged for by the National Woman Suffrage Associ ation to occur in New York March 30, Philadelphia March 31, and Boston April 1. Other big cities will also have these rallies but dates have not yet be°n fixed. Prominent speakers, opera singers and moving pictures will be some of the features of these rallies. The object is to raise funds to help tlie campaign states. In these states the woman suffrage question goes to the voters in November of this year. They are North and South Dakota, Montana and Nevada. The famous Brooklyn bridge, the first to connect that city with New York, is to have a double deck and its approaches to be enlarged and beauti fied. Commissioner Kracke hopes to complete the work within his term of office, or the next two years. He says the present cables will stand many times the strain it now bears. The new deck will be on top and will he devoted to a promenade, though one line of electrics will be run. That new White House waltz must be the “hesitation."—Omaha Bee. Not much “hesitation’''at that, about the way they walk up and demand the President’s daughters. Another one, gentlemen—a genuine American girl, reared in an ideal American home, blessed with American sense and charm—don’t let a titled foreigner come ‘angoin’ ’round. It speaks well for that splendidly conducted road, the Pennsylvania, as well as being a great argument for temperance, when it is reported that in the 784,675 observations made^ by the officials during the year 1913 only 158 cases of intoxication were found. The contributing editor’s letter claiming that he didn't believe Mr. Kllllam was an actual person reminds one of what the farmer said when Jue saw a giraffe for the first time. “There ain't no such ani mal,” lie exclaimed after he had gazed for a minute.—Portland Press.

Maine Gossip A Morning Call. (By Grif Alexander, in Pittsburg Dis patch.) Good morning, Mr. Robin! When did you arrive? Heard you singing yesterday. ’Tis good to be alive!” Felt 1 quite agreed with you. When I hear you sing It sorts o' lifts me up a bit. as though I were a-wing. Back some time, I reckon? Heard you, as I said, But you had left the neighborhood be fore I left my bed: And every time you called on me, I haven't any doubt. I had slipped off to the office—and you always found me out! And how is Mrs. Robin? Hustling with her nest? I expect you’re both so busy that you haven't time to rest, This thing of keeping house, you’ll tind, needs strongest of strong wills; And when it comes to getting worms, you'll have to meet the bills! Ah, yes, you'll go to Nature's school throughout the summer term— I beg your pardon—Oh, of course—You thought you heard a worm! You got it? Good for you! My word! You worked in manner deft! You’re much obliged? Don't mention it! There’s plenty of them left! Well, goodbye, Mr. Robin! Please call again—and soon! Bring Mrs. Robin with you—tomorrow, say, at noon. I’ll be mighty glad to see you—and if there comes a frost, I’ll grub-stake you, I promise, and we'll never count the cost. The Progressives are to lnjld their State convention Tuesday, March 24 in City hall, Bangor. The leaders claim that they will have 1000 delegates present. Hon. Morrill N. Drew of Port land will preside. The 2d Reg. Band of Bangor will furnish music. Senator Moses A. Clapp of Minnesota will de liver an address. The 3d and 4:h Dis trict conventions will immediately fol low the State convention. Investigation of the alleged horse stealing by the little Gray boy, who claimed that he had merely taken the horse from his employer, a Jew, in Portland for the amount due him for wages, soon proved that the little chap's story was true and the Portland judge ordered the former employer to pay the boy his wages, the costs' of BAKER'S COCOA IS PURE AND GOOD Known the world over as The Cocoa of High Quality Its delicious flavor and perfect digestibility make it a food drink of exceptionally great value.

Acting in ac cordance with long practice in this city and supported by an able legal opinion, I made these necessary ap pointments in the Board of Aldermen, and the Board refused to confirm. At the same time I permitted the nomina tion of the Republican aldermen to be entered and made a matter of record. If there be a question of right as be tween the Mayor and the Board I am sure it can be determined by compe tent authority, for as Mayor of Au gusta I do not wish to assume any 'prerogative which is not legally mine.

Keefe, the amiable philoso- pher who presides over the destinies j of the Retail Liquor Dealers' Assoeia- j tion of Allegheny county, has been presenting powerful arguments in de- fense of the rum traffic and against j prohibition, in his joint debate with an official of the Anti-Saloon League. Mr. Keefe says men in the liquor business are less likely io encourage intemperance than grocers or butchers are to encourage gluttony among their trade. it is not clear just what Mr. Keefe 1 undertakes to prove by this assertion —whether lie means that as a class saloonkeepers are not as baneful to j the community as butchers and gro- cers, or that we should first have prohibition of the manufacture and sale of food products before "personal liberty’’ as to drinks is broken down, j It may be, though, ^hat Mr. Keefe simply calls attention to the menace of gluttony. If so, all right! There j is something to that. It is a common occurence for men to fill themselves to the neck with oatmeal and then go staggering to their work, totally unfitted to keep up with the procession. The way many, at the first opportun ity after receiving their pay envelopes, j rush to a butcher shop and cram themselves with liver and bacon-- I then go home and maltreat their fam ilies—is a crying sharne. The habit perfectly well-meaning fellows have of dropping into the most convenient grocery and getting pickled with dills, while friend wife waits impatiently for Ahem with a light in the window, is shaking our moral foundations. Nor is the man of salary, or he who works for day's wages, the sole offender. Our best business men, while in the club, have been known to linger long at table In the dead of night consum ing ham and cold chicken with glut tonous glee and recklish relish, know ing in their hearts that next day they are certain to have that hang-o\ er feeling. It is related of the august Secretary of the Treasury that, only recently, after a dance, about 2 or 3 of the morn, he fed his smiling face with a souse of sausage and eggs. And what is the terrible sequel? He is to be married—again'—and tc a daughter of the President of the United States! Clearly Dr. Keefe has placed his finger on the national peril. The prac tice ot loading up at the butcher shop and grocery must be curbed. Our jails, almshouses, asylums, slums and bystreets are peopled by gormandizers, to the impoverishment of their child ren and dependents. Getting Wiser and More Patriotic. (New York Tribune.) The Democratic party has learned a good deal since it came into power. As an opposition it made ducks and drakes of its anti-subsidy record by voting to exempt American coastwise shipping from Panama Canal tolls. It also tried hard to put a stop to naval construction. A caucus of Democratic members of the House of Represen tatives voted last year against author izing the building of any new battle ships, and it was only with the great est difficulty that that edict was fin ally rescinded and the House was al lowed to concur in the Senate's pro vision for a single Dreadnought. This year, with a Democratic admin istration in power, nobody has thought of making the increase of the navy a caucus question, and a naval appro priation bill has been reported to the House which calls for the construction Women and Children===Bank Your Savings Every woman who handles money should have a checking: account.

Secretary Daniels wanted two built and told the House Committee on Naval Affairs that the country’s naval policy ought to be divorced from party politics. Mr. Daniels deserves thanks for re storing the old tradition of non-parti san consideration of the needs of na tional defence. Since the construc tion tjf tlu new navy was begun, in the early 80’s, that tradition has been faithfully observed except for the last two years of the Taft administration, when the Democrats regained control of the lower branch of Congress. The House leaders are now more or less ashamed of their relapse. There will be no hesitation this year about voting the two new battleships required to maintain this country's present modest enough status ns a naval power. The Real Reason. (Portland Press.) After a careful reading uf a three quarters of a column editorial in the Toiirnnl utilities law adopted by the last legis lature, we fall to find any definitely stated objections to the same beyond the fact that the appointments made ol that paper. The editorial in question abounds in indefinite, if not mysterious allusions to ’‘jokers” and "tips” and "monopo lists,” but if there are jokers in the law it does not state what they are and if any tips had been given it fails even to hint by whom and how. Apparently the Journal has objec tions to the law other than the fact that the personnel of the commission does not suit, but it declines to take the public into its confidenoe to the extent of stating definitely what they are. May we not do so for it? There were two elements which are responsible for the suspension of the operations of the law. One element is embraced by the Democratic leaders of the State who assumed public responsibility for the circulation of the petition for the referendum and making the campaign against it. The other element includes the larger corporations of the State who fear that the law will he hostile to their inter ests. These corporations did not make open warfare against the measure dur ing its passage before the Legislature because they found that it would he useless to do so. Instead of that they waited until it has been passed and then initiated the referendum which the Democratic leaders put through for them. The object of the Demo voters of the city equal to 20 per cent. Of tlie votes cast for mayor at the preceding election may bring about an election on the question of a recall. While under the powers given the commissioners un der the proposed charter It would seem that they could entrench themselves so securely as to have no fear of a recall. Bangor under this recall proposition might easily have the experience of Seat tle. Wash. Hiram G. Gill has just been re-elected maybr of that city. He was first elected in 1910, was recalled! in 1911. defeated for re-election in 1912 and is now re-elected. How is that for an ex ample of the beautiful workings of the recall?

Mo. “I had Been troubled with eczema on my head for a year. At first It came on in the form of dandruff which scaled off and showed plainly in my hair and then there was a rash that itched and burned and would wake me from my sleep. I scratched and made sores that would bleed. My hair cams out by handfuls and was thin and dry. I used several kinds of soap without getting any relier. At last I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment, applying the Cuticura Ointment at night and washing my head in the morning with Cuticura Soap and warm water and after the first time using them the itching and burning stopped. After using Cuticura Soap and Ointment one month my head was completely cured and my hair began to grow out again.” (Signed) Miss Annie E. Williamson, Nov. 7. 1912. The regular use of Cuticura Soap for toilet and bath not only tends to preserve, purify and beautify the skin, scalp, hair and hands, but assists in preventing inflammation, irri tation and clogging of the porja, the common cause of pimples, blackheads, redness and roughness, yellow, oily, mothy and other unwholesome conditions of the skin. Cuti cura Soap (25c.) and Cuticura Ointment (50c.) are sold by druggists and dealers throughout the world. Liberal sample of each mailed free, with 32-p. Skin Book.

She will give her ser vices Her husband is officially en gaged, as the star baritone for the opening night. Addresses by Augusta Pastors at The Penney Memorial Church to Commemorate Dow’s Birthday _ The first meeting ever held in the city in the interests of national con stitutional prohibition drew a goodly audience Friday evening at the Pen ney Memorial church. Services of like nature Mere held all over the nation Friday evening in commemoration of the birthday of Gen. Neal S. Dow, the “Father of Prohibition." The speakers at the Augusta service filled their audience with enthusiasm upon the subject, bringing forward clearly and forcibly the great harm which al cohol is doing all over our nation. Mrs. Florence Longfellow, president of the local Y. W. C. T. IT. organiza tion by reading from the Scripture and followed it by reading the reso lution, which Congressman Richard H. Hobson upon Dec. 10 introduced in to the House of Representatives call ing for the prohibition forever of the sale of intoxicating liquors for bev erage purposes. Rev. Henry E. Dunnack Rev. Henry E. Dunnack of Augusta spoke on national prohibition. In sub stance he said: Long years of experience teaches us i that the only way to handle the liquor tratiic is to destroy it. This traffic t has become so entrenched in national j life and is so destructive of all that j is best and good in civilization that tho nation must enter the contest to destroy it. The day fur half-way measures is over; the day for half hearted support is past. Political par ties and individuals must come out in the open and declare their unalter able opposition to the traffic in strong drink or meet with the united opposi tion of every man and woman who loves his home, his country and his God. The battle is on: the hour has struck when we must uplift the Constitution of the Republic as our banner of re form. Because the liquor traffic im perils the life of the nation and of ev ery State the federal Constitution should prohibit this traffic. I* is altogether fitting and proper that the people of Maine and of this Capital city should gather on the birthday of the Father of Prohibition and adopt a resolution asking that the Constitu tion should be amended by inserting me renewing: Whereas, exact scientific research has demonstrated that alcohol is a narcotic poison, destructive and degenerating to the human organism, and that its distribution as a beverage or contain ed in foods lays a staggering economic burden upon the shoulders of the peo ple, lowers to an appalling degree the average standard of the character of our citizenship, thereby undermining the public morals and the foundation of free institutions, produces wide spread crime, pauperism, and insanity, inflicts disease and untimely death up on hundreds of thousands of citizens, and blights with degeneracy their children unborn, threatening the fu ture integrity and the very life of the nation; Therefore he it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the I'nited States of America tn Congress assem bled (two-thirds of each House con curring therein), that the following amendment of the Constitution he, and hereby is, proposed to the states, to become vaiid as a part of the Consti tution when ratified by the Legisla tures of the several states as provid ed by the Constitution: "Section 1. The sale, manufacture for sale, transportation for sale, im portation for sale, and exportation for sole of intoxicating liquors for bever age purposes in the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof are forever prohibited. ■'Section 2. Congress shall have pow er to provide for the manufacture, sale, importation and transportation of in toxicating liquors for sacramental, medicinal, mechanical, pharmaceutical or soientlc purposes, or for use in the arts, and shall have power to enforce this article by all needful legislation.” Mr. Chairman: I move the adoption of this resolution. The history of pro hibition states warrants the adoption of this resolution. Take Kansas during the 33 years of prohibition the illiteracy of the people has been reduced from 49 per cent, to 2 per cent., and this trilling amount is almost entirely among the foreign element in the mining section of the southeast. With 105 counties in the state, 87 of them have no insane, 54 have no feeble-minded, 96 have no inebriates, and what few there are ccme from the cities which deed the law until recent years. There is only one pauper to every 3000 population, and there are 38 county poor farms which have no inmates. In July, 1911, 53 county jails were empty and 65 counties had no prisoners serving sen tence. Since the establishment of prohibition the population of Kansas has increased more than any of the surrounding states, and her wealth has increased until it has become the rich est state in the Union per capita. Re cent statements from the banks show that in the *.'30 state banks there is on deposit belonging to the people of Kan sas about SI20,000,000 and on deposit in the 213 national banks about $90,000, 000, making a total of $210,000,, or about $123 for every man, woman and child in the state. The increase in wraith within the past 1 years has been at the rate of $120,009,000 per year. The assessed valuation of prop erty for taxation is sufficient to give every man, woman and child in the sta*e $1700, while the average wealth in the nation is only about $1200. Is it not reasonable to believe and fair to say that 23 years of prohibition has had something to do with this grand result? Mr. Chairman: It is a matter of congratulation that today 47."00 out of our reople are living under prohibition. About 55 per cent, of the people, about 72 per cent, of all the area of continental United States. Already the national government has entered this contest by enacting the Webb law, which law is about the only working capital in this contest in Maine today. It is the first step. The last step will be the adoption of national prohibi tion. The conservation of our water sup ply is a great problem. The conserva tion cf our forests is a second great problem. The conservation of our public utilities is a third great prob lem, but Mr. Chairman, the conserva tion of human life is greater and more vital than all those 690,009 victims which are claimed by alcohol every year; 2000 every day we live. Mr. Chairman: We may not win this fight today or tomorrow. It is not ne cessary that we should win today or tomorrow: it is absolutely necessary that we should be right Therefore, let us stand firm, stand together, stund with every individual, every organization, stand with the party and force that stands for the right. When our party or society or church turns from the fight, let us stay even if we stay alone. The grand old prohibition song song “The Battle Hymn of the Re public,” was then rendered in an ex cellent manner by Miss Hazel Ly ford, the audience joining in the chor us. Miss Carrie Bradford accompa nied. Rev. C. D. Boothby, the next speak er, dwelt briefly upon the virtues of the man whose birthday was being celebrated all over the nation. But he warned his audience not to look back ward too long for it is necessary to contemplate what can now be done to further the cause which Gen. Dow so valiantly fought for. "The prohibi tion pro'dem,” said Mr. Boothby, “is a problem for the nation to settle; lo cal and state decisions are altogether inadequate. The vision is coming to us and we can see beyond the State. And it is a practical vision. National prohibition is a practical vision. Cour age and perseverance are needed and sometime our purpose is bound to be realized. The saloon will be eradicat ed from our nation.” Then by vote the movement for na tional prohibition was unanimously endorsed. Every member of the audi ence was thoroughly in sympathy with the movement. A contribution was taKen for the benefit of national prohibition. Rev. Paul S. Phelan gave the word of-benediction. Misses Louise Davies and Mar> Johnson of the Freshman class at Wellesley College are passing the spring vacation of three weeks at their homes in the city. Five Indictments Await Alton Wood Now in Prison Farmington, Me., March 20.—Sheriff W. B. Small Thursday received a letter from Warden Frank J. Ham of the State pris on stating that the term of Alton Wood of Farmington, now serving a sentence there for larceny, will not expire until Oct. 10 of this year. AVood was condition ally pardoned last spring, it being claim ed that he had only a few months to live because of tuberculosis. It was al leged by the pardoning board that he broke his parole, and he was returned to prison. Deducting the time off allowed for good behavior, Wood would have been set at liberty this month, but War den Ham stated in his letter that Wood's alleged misdemeanor while on parole counted against his behavior record as though it had happened in prison. Wood is wanted here on live indictments returned against him at the February term of the grand Jury. Four of the in dictments charge breaking and entering and larceny from Frank E. McLeary, George A. Hodgdon, Frank L. Butler and Leon W. Fellows, respectively, all of this town. The fifth indictment alleges as sault with intent to kill Orrin E. Car vill of this place last Thanksgiving eve ning. Wood will be turned over to the Franklin county officers upon the expira tion of the sentence he is now serving. ___ The chain used by Abraham Lincoln to survey the boundary line of Arkansas .s being exhibited in the window of a hard ware store in Houiton, Me.

He died today. His note to the prospective bride declared that she "was too good for a fellow like me,” and expressed the hope that they would meet In the hereafter. "I haven't the heart to marry or 1 the nerve to face you," he wrote. “Quality Value” Queer thing this quality. To some it means the best at any cost; others go after the lowest cost and forget quality altogether. Neither are correct guides to successful purchases. Al ways, a dealer must maintain an exact balance between variable factors. “Quality and Value” we have chosen as our slogan; as our guide and axiom in buying and selling. Quality in OUR dictionary is defined as "an exact price-expression of worth.” Value is our term for 100% guaranteed satisfaction. Value in our minds suggests mutual profit. Not too high for economy nor yet too low for serviceability. Can you conceive of a fairer way of doing business Swift Turner Co.

It is seldom such an artist visits our city and much credit is due the club for the effort it is making in the in terest of good music. Mtue.

One of Augusta's residents who owns a farm a few miles down the river is just at present interested in the problem of getting rid of a large stock of brown-tail moth nests which he has on hand, and while encompass ing the destruction of the little cater pillars which are in the nests, in sav ing the little files which are believed to be in some of the nests and which are a parasite that destroys the cat erpillars. On his farm he has an or-, chard and during the i>ast winter has put in a lot of work ridding the or chard of nests. He did not depend on the crews of tree climbers but did the work himself, making the rounds on snowshoes, so that now there is not a nest in his trees but he has three barrels of them awaiting de- j vejopments. He has been told that when the time comes for the little j caterpillars to warm to life and ac- tivity and leave the nest the parasite I fly will do the same and escape, and 1 that by placing a belt of tarred clpth Inside the barrel, near the top, the j caterpillars will be prevented from crawling out over it and can thus be caught and destroyed. He is not sure j on this point, however, and is inclin- ed, in order not to take any chances j on the caterpillars getting away, to j burn the whole business. LOCAL NOTICE.

"Little Billy’s Strategy,” one of the best Keystone comedies ever shown in Augusta, kept the big audi ence in constant roars of laughter from start to finish. Then came Norma Phillips in "Our Mutual Girl,” whose entrance into so ciety enabled her to display some charming costumes and gives every one a chance to catch a glimpse of New York society life. The two-reel feature "Death's Door” is without a doubt one of the most thrilling pictures that has been shown for some time. Abounding with bright comedy, strong climax and plen ty of action that holds attention to the end. The Colonial orchestra has arranged a special musical program for to day and coupled with the excellent pictures makes a show well worth at tending.—Adv. At Opera House Monday Night. The biggest advance sale of the season marked the opening of the seat sale at the Opera house box office for “Fine Feathers’’ which comes to this playhouse with its original all star cast on next Monday night. In view of the fact that this is the first case on record where an all star organization has left New York with out a single change in its personnel, many seat purchasers made inquiries at the box office which indicated their doubts that the all star cast would appear here in its entirety; but such is the case. In the “Fine Feathers” pro duction to be seen here will appear Robert Edeson, Wilton Lackaye, Max Figman, Rose Coghlan, Florence Rock well, Lydia Dickson and all the others who shared in the play's' triumph at the Astor Theatre, on Broadway. Even with an ordinary company “Fine Feathers” would be an unusual dra matic offering; but with* the rare strength of its cast intact; with every role of the play in the hands of a mas ter of the acting art, and with the scenes and situations evolved by the pen of Eugene Walter, theatregoers may safely expect the dramatic treat of a lifetime. It was at first intended to present the play in Boston only, of all the New England cities, but as Manager Frazee has been able to ex tend the contracts with the stars for another short period, a half dozen oth er cities in this section will have an opportunity to enjoy this remarkable dramatic gathering.

The advance sale for tonight indicates that seats will all be sold at an early hour, so it will be well for patrons desiring choice locations to be on hand early. The picture program which is shown at every performance in connection with the play is one of the season’s best.

Brigham, perhaps the most distinguished illustrated lecturer in America, is coming to Augusta next week. Mr. Brigham is well known in Central Maine from his yearly visits to Good Will Home. He u^es the most accurate and beautifully colored slides, and his four lectures, “Grand Canyon of Arizona,” "From Colorado to Kit Carson,” "The Apache Warpath,” and “Our National Parks,” are thrilling and instructive for old and young. These lectures stand for something more than passing amusement; they furnish food for thought and conversa tion in months to come; they are real istic and inspiring. Mr. Brigham's lectures arc of a high class and com mand not only high prices but draw the most refined and intellectual audi ences. As an experiment, in connection with a church movement for a high er class of educational entertainment, i Mr. Brigham is coming to Augusta for four nights next week—Tuesday, Mar. -4, Wed., Mar. 25, Thurs., March 26, and Friday, Mar. 27—at prices which prevail at the ordinary moving picture show. He will be at the Green Street Methodist church.—Adv. AUGUSTA CHURCHES. Sunday Services, to Which All Are Cordially Invited to Attend. ST. BARNABAS church, Bangor St. lalt
