MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Unsigned Communications.

Gardner Reporter JOurnal)
upon receiving communication for
publication that was to have an an
onymous signature, the Bath Inde-
pendent declines to publish it. it's posi-
ton being that az article attacking any
man or any body of men shall be pub
lished only over the signature of the
author. That is but fair proposition.
too. 1t may be claimed that a paper
is not responsible for what a corre-
spondcnt writes. but it is to Il certain
extent especially if it withholds the
name of the writer. A communication
too has great deal more force If
signed. "A paper is obliged to be re-
sponsible for it's own utterances, and
is likely to be held so for those of it's
correspondents whose names are not
given, and those who have any criti-
Cisms or comments TO make should be
willing TO take the responsibility. The
position of the Independent is the right
ore. and ought to be adopted by all
papers.

ESTABLISHED 1925
Paul Lawrence Dunbar.

Paul Lawrence Dunbar the negro
poet is dead at the early age of "a
years. Dunbar was Of pure African
stock the son Of fugitive slaves. but in
his soul was the spark of genius, and
as a writer of lyric verse he has been
classed by the highest critics with
James Whitcomb Riley and with Eu-
gene Field. He was born in Dayton.
Ohio, June q, 1872, and his ambition to
learn kept him in school until he had
graduated from the High school at the
age Of IS. In the meantime, he had
been running an elevator in an Office
building, and for years he had been
writing verses in the fly leaves of
school books and on pieces Of wrapping
paper.
His early efforts met with scant
recognition, bnt he was ambitious and
not to be discouraged. Finally he pub
lished a. collection of his verses in book
form which came to the attention Of
William Dean HowelIs who gave it a
most favorable review. This opened
the way to popular favor and to fame.
III the past dozen years, Mr.. Dunbar
has published no less than thirteen
books. eight in verse and five in prose.
These were issued in the period from
1893 TO 1903 and they compare in verse:
"Oaks and Ivy" Majors and Minors"
Lyrics of Lowly Life" Folks from
Dixie" Lyrics Of the Hearthside,"
Poems Of Cabin and Field" Candle
Lightin' Time" and Lyrics of Love
and Laughter" and in prose 1.-The I'm
called For 1.-The Strength of Gideon
the Gods and 1.-THE Fanatics" novels
and tales. He was not only the negro
poet but the poet of the negro, and the
larger number of his poems were in
the negro dialect and related life
among the lowly of his race. He did
not strike a high note; he was among
the humber poets: but he was genuine
and he is notable as the foremost writ
er the race has produced. Mr.. Dunbar
made several trips abroad and was re-
ccived with highest Donors by the cul-
turcd and literary people Of Great
Britain. For several years he has been
in failing health and his death was due
to consumption. He fought it bravcly
to the end. and only a month or two
ago wrote his last poem. In spite of
critics Of the Vardaman type. there is
hope for race which can produce n

affairs and who has conducted notable
enterprises in the city of New York,
where he has taken rank among the

his native town tokens of regard. Now

cd the sheep with the goats and sent
out a dispatch in which he quoted the
insurance officials of that state as con-
dc mining the Mutual Benefit Life Insur-
ancc Company among others for con-
tributing money TO political campaigns,
and for being active and influencing
legislation. 1t transpircs that nobody
connected with the insurance depart
ment of Tennessee made such state
ment about the Mutual Benefit. nor
was there any possible ground for
such a statement regarding this COM
pany, as everybody knows who has
followed the insurance Investigation.
Consequently the retraction Of The
Associated Press which had no inten-

pany, has been prompt and complete.

Sec America First,

The "see America first" movement
to which reference has several times
been made by the Journal. is making
promising beginning. The proposed
conference of western governors and
officials has been held at Salt Lake
City and was a great success. As
result of it practical steps will be taken
to induce the people of the eastern
states to see more of our own great
and wonderful country before rushing
over the seas to Europe. OF course
the aims Of the West in this movement
are not wholly philanthropic, but no.
body can dispute the proposition that
our eastern people owe it to themselves
to know their own country better than
most Of them do before going abroad.
AS q part of this movement a new
magazine has been started i'm Chicago
called The Greater West whose motto
is 'see America First" and whose pur-
pose is to interest Americans in
America. particularly the West. 1t
would seem as il the nation which
not need thus to be spurred. but there
is field for just such periodical.
With window curtains drawn, Ameri-
cans speed through their home coun-
try and Chamber upon the ocean liner.
eager for the sights Of the faraway
land. And yet their home country
has inspired artists and poets. Where
is inspiration to be found "if not in
the hush Of unconquered forests,
brooding their mysteries and centur-
les Of power. on painless prairies,
rooted by the blue immensely Of
heaven and horizoned by the brink
and margin Of the world?" There is
music in the very growing of the
crops. Henry D. Estabrook once
sang paeon Of praise to the
West. God has only to pitch
the key and it sings with a harvest"
Year after year this unfailing harvest
has been transmitted into power. and
joy. and liberty. Year after year has
witnessed the recurring miracle until
all the world is ready to exclaim: 90
heaven and earth have kissed each
other. and that kiss-what is it but the
west?"
1t was fitting that this new move.
ment toward home appreciation should
originate in the West. AS the New
York Evening Post points out: "Den.

Things Pupils Should Know.
(GGilfOrd RecOrdcr.)

(GGlIfOrd RecOfdCr.)
1t has been strongly advocated re-
Gently in the schools of Boston to in
troduce in an important degree the
study of current events, the doings of
the world, the nation and the executives
thereof. Pupils who rank high in their
studies are often wofully ignorant of
facts which are common knowledge
among comparatively ignorant classes.
1t would not seem possible. yet it is
true that six young ladies in Civil
Government class in a High school in
this State not long ago could not tell
the name of the Governor of Maine.
This may not be an argument for wOm-
an suffrage, but it is certainly one in
favor of d period OF study of everyday
events in our schools
