The reception of Governor Robbie at the
State House last evening was very pleas
ant occasion to those who participated in
it. The rain moistened the streets and
sidewalks, but the State House was dry
and warm. the faces of the callers upon
the Governor beamed with smiles, His
Excellency was courteous and cordial as
usual, and the crowd went home as happy
az though the stars were shining brightly
and the atmosphere keen and frosty. This
morning the proceedings will continue by
session at the State House, followed by
the presentation Of the fine portrait Of
Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill, to the State by Hon
James w. Bradbury. In the evening
will come the banquet, which besides be-
ing a grand gastronomic affair. will be
truly feast Of reason and flow OF

have propitious weather, but what could
the managers do-even if they have been

the tendency of winter which appears
bound to outrage tradition and the science

Why not legislative reunions as well as
soldier reunions When the project of a
legislative reunion was first mentioned it
struck some persons uniavorably. They
questioned somewhat the propriety of the
step and somewhat its practicablity, The
practicability of the movement has been
proved In spite of the untoward cond-
ton Of the elements. which has been az
unfavorabe as it very well could be, the
reunion will be success. Those who are
here are glad that they came to attend it.
They find many old friends whom they
are happy to meet, and with them live
over again the trials, struggles, triumphs
and defeats in the legislative arena. Their
lives will he brighter hereafter for this
visit to the capital and the renewal of old
associations. 1t has required considerable
labor to correspond plan and manage the
reunion. because it was "A novel movement.
But there has been no failure to interest
and draw together large number of for
mer members of the legislature, many of
them our most distinguished men. aud to
pave the way tor future reunions if
deemed advisable.
As to the question of the propriety OF
legislative reunions there is but one side
to il. The work OF wise Legislators is
COMMUNICATED as much as that of the
soldier The first law giver is the most
eminent man mentioned in the Old Tesla
meut The Roman law cndures while the
conquests of the Empire have long since
ceased to be OF interest except to students
of history. Napoleon's military exploits
died with him at the battle of Waterloo,
but the Code Napoleon exists as his great
est and most beneiicent achievement. The
soldier overturns and DESTROYS institutions
and property and holds mems lives as of
little value in the march to conquest. but
the legislator establishes justice, builds
governments on peaceful but solid
foundations. protects life and prop
crty and promotes the happiness and
prosperity OF communities. These are
triumphs more enduring than brass or
marble, and those engaged in such labors
may remember and celebrate with pro-
found satisfaction their share in them.
1t is true that it is customary often to
speak sneeringly of our legislatures, but
as rule the members of them are among
the best citizens of the localities which they
represent. When they come together in
reunion they represent the intelligence
and strength of the State from its earlies,
days. Long may the living be spared to
come together in such reunions as the
present. and the memory of those who
have passed from the shores of time be
held in respect by the people of oul
State.

FIRST MAINE LEGISLATURE

In 1919. the people of the District of
Maine voted in favor of separation from Mas
sachusetts and took preliminary steps for the
organization of State government. Massa-
chusetts made no opposition. Previous to
that year the legislature had passed an act
favoring separation. In 1920 the separation
was an accomplished fact, and Maine was adj
mitted as State into the Union. The first
election, under the new constitution, tor
State officers and members of the legislature,
was held that year in April. In May follow
ing the members-elect assembled in colven-
ton at Portland. and then and there organ
lied the first legislature of the State, and
proceeded 10 enact the first laws placed upon
the statute books of Maine.
At this time, when our Legislators of past
and present DAYS have assembled TO renew
acquaintance. formed in the halls of legisla-
ton, and to call up from memory the recol-
lection of other DAYS. it is fitting and proper
to present in the columns of the KenDebec

This man has devised some inge-
NOUS plan for the carrying on of his
work. He has exercised not only
his physical power in the execution
of his work, but he first employed
his greater power-his mental ahl
ity SO that that work may be more
facilitated and that his increase
should be greater.
When the farmers fail in business
and they have mot enough to sustain
them through the year, then there
is a decline in every business. The
merchants feels this hand of failure
depressing him, SO does the mechanic.
It would be we'll for the farmers to
be educated, if they were confined to
their farm from one end of the year
to the other. But when they are al
lowed to hold so many offices out
side of their vocation, what a vast
importance is it to the nation that
they should reflect upon it, and then
lend a lend helping hand in the
advancement of that which they so
much need, and also that which
their country demands of them.
