MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Law enforcement.
tWaldo County Commercial

tWaldo County Commercially
No more important question con-
fronts the people of this state today
than the general question of law en-
forcement; naturally We rejoice in
finding so many influential and busy
people of our State enough interested
in the question to take their pens in
hand and contribute their opinions to
the columns of this paper. In TINS way
we permit our paper to become an in
strunIent of great usefulness in de-
termintng what the moral sense of the
people is on this important question.
Our position in the whole matter
cannot be misunderstood. We stand
for law enforcement everywhere and
always; we stand with those who con-
denim any official for negligence OF
duty, or praise any for the honest work
well done; We stand for what the
Christian Civic League of Maine
stands, and for what the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union stands:
we stand for the principles of that
party which promises to correct abuses
and advance the moral well being OF
society, and against that party which
for political ends seeks to cast down
and trdmple UPON those honest old
principles which make for good gov
eminent and decent citizenship.

Seeing more Of Our Own Country

According to Western newspapers
which base their statements upon the
reports of the transcontinental rail-
roads. the 1893 railroad travel west
ward has been much greater than i'll
any previous year. No doubt the ia
vorable rates made by the roads on ac-
count of the Lewis and Clark EXPOSE
ton at Portland. Oregon. and the
Grand Army encampmcmt at Denver
accounts largely for the increase in
travel. but it is also true that more and
more the people of the East are appre-
| cidting the fact that they cannot afford
to miss seeing the great West. at is
strange that Americans never before
have been awakened to the full real
ization of the scenery of that part of
the country" declares prominent
railroad official. adding: THE Lord
knows there have been enough railroad
pamphlets printed descriptive of the
| rugged scenery of the West" Yet
Americans have too often disregarded
these pamphlets and have rushed
across seas tn view scenery far less
picturesque and grand. Now the tide
is turning. for 40 per cent Of the tour
lists who visited Yellowstone park last
year were foreigners. Nowadays. the
American rushes over to Europe and
gushes about European scenery while
his host gushes in almost equally en-
thusidstic terms of the American
scenery which his visitor has never
seen.
The rates made by the western rail-
roads this summer have been eX"ep-
tionaly low. 1t is estimated that 100.-
900 people have taken advantage of the
Denver rates to visit the canyon region
in Colorado. while 10000 more tourists
have visited Yellowstone park this
summer than in any previous year. The
problem now is not to get the people
to go West, but to handle them comfort
able on route and house them once
they have reached their destination.
Portland fair visitors have accepted
their stopover privileges. so that from
the Mississippi to the Pacific there are
few places of interest which have not
entertained their visitors by the hun
dreds. This years experience is doubt
less but the beginning. More and more

No Such Thinq as Luck,

General Grant was always ready to
uphold the successful mans cause
against the division of those who would
claim luck" as the secret of wealth
He maintained that success was only
ohtainable through wonderful energy
and foresight, good sound Judgment
and ambition. not to any supernatural
agency. He strenuously adhered to the
view that it requires a great deal Of
boldness and caution to make a big for
tune, and ten times as much wit to re-
tain it. His contention was "that those
gathering wealth through so-called
luck or supernatural causes lost It with
corresponding rapidity. attributing
their misfortune to hard luck or an un-
kind providence"
The successful man of business he be-
lleved to be endowed with superior
qualities of mind and soul. iniexible
purpose. indomitable courage and ener-
setic will. He was a staunch believer
IN the Napoleonic theory. "when one

that they did everything necessary to

Value Of Enthusiasm,

Enthusiasm has always been the rul-
ing passion of men and women who
have attained to greatness. No one has
ever moved the heart of the world who
has not been touched by this divine
fire. Emerson says. Every good and
commanding movement in the annals
of the world is the triumph of enthus-
iasm. Nothing great was ever accom-
plished without it,
There is no substitute for enthusiasm.
says high authority. 1t makes all the
difference between a half heart and q
whole heart. between signal defeat and
splendid victory. The young man who
hopes to succeed today must be smitten
with this master passion or his life will
be comparative failure. The one-tal-
ented who has fallen in love with his
work. who is enthusiastic over his vo-
cation. will accomplish infinitely more
in life than the ten-talented man who
has not been touched by this
heavenly spark 1t is the enthusiasm
OF youth that cuts the Gordiah knot.
which age cannot unite. If a youth is
possessed by the divine fame of en-
thusiasm he is not likely to be chilled
by the most uncongenial surroundings
or daunted by seemingly unsurmounta-
BILE obstacles

A Rule for Railroad Success.

When L. F. Loree was president Of
the Baltimore and Ohio one of the sub
sidiary lines of the Pennsylvania. a
young man in search of a position was
sent to him from the Reading Railroad,
whites c. NJ. Reyes in the Worlds
Work for September. The youth was
recommended by vice-president of the
Reading. Mr.. Loree asked him null
titude of questions about what he could
do. The applicant, who was seeking q
clerical position at the head Office. had
been an assistant comptroller for
small electric line, had worked i'm the
freight department Of the Lehigh VAL
ley. and had helped the comptroller OF
the Reading to keep accounts. He
knew the routine of practically every
department. At the end of the inter
view Mr.. Loree said:
Young man, you know too much and
too little. The rule on the Baltimore
and Ohio is. Know little, but know it
perfectly We want specialists OH

portation men figuring on the methods
of gathering traffic, nor do we want

College Students and Summer Baseball

1t is said that the college baseball
players who have been picking up
easy money"'this year by playing sum-
nler ball. are now trying to accustom
themselves to the sound of their real
names.-New York Tribune.
But it is only the athletes of the few
colleges and universities where false
and snobbish standards of "amateur-
ism prevail. who play baseball during
the long summer vacation under as
sumed names. In most of our colleges,
and our four colleges here in Maine
are among the number, mans stand
ing rs a college athlete is no more in
jured If he plays baseball for money
during the summer vacation, than it
would he if he sold books, or waited on
tables, or worked on steamboat, or
took any other honest means tc secure
money to help him pay for his college
education. Such is the broad and
thoroughly American Interpretation of
the standards of college athletics which
prevail here, but some of the larger
universities and few colleges here
and there put a premium on hypocrisy
by forbidding their athletes. and par
ticuIarly their baseball players. from
using their athletic ability as means
of earning money during the summer
vacation, and as result a great num-
Der Of the players of such Institutions
play under assumed names during the
vacation, as indicated in the above
rary. Moreover, at these same insti-
tutions which make a pretenCe of en-
forcing amateur" rules. means are
found and methods employed to "help"
athletes through college which are not
possible at our smaller colleges, and
which the standards of honor prevail

colleges would not countenance.
We have no sympathy with the
Observation-Disclosures from the con-
ception of the word amateur" in
England where man who earns mon

allowed to participate in sports as an
dmateur-which prevails at some of
athletics. Any bona fide student,
whose standing in scholarship comes up
to the mark, should be allowed to par
ticipate in college athletics. no matter
in what kin of employment he spends

uses to get money to defray his college

and what an injustice to them and to
their colleges to debar them from their
respective college teams because they
played ball during July and August.
Any eligibility rules which would de-
