PROHIBITION IN MAINE.

MI A1NE adopted prohibition many years ago and it was
NWl thought that thereby the liquor question was taken out
of politics. But that was a great mistake, for the liquor
question has been a burning issue in State politics ever since and
has been a prolific cause of bad government in the State. In every
State election this question has come up to obscure other State
questions, and long needed reforms are unattainable, because, with
the liquor question ever uppermost, it has been impossible to get
a souare verdict of the people or to elect legislators pledged to
reforms. While this struggle has been going on for so many years
Iiouor has been freely sold in Maine and d grave feature of the case
is the fact that homes have been converted into blind tigers and
"speakeasies" The State maintains an expensive force of deputies
10 enforce the prohibitory law, there is no public income from
licenses, and the testimony of those who know is that there is
more hard drinking and drunkenness in a Maine city than in
cities of other States that are wide open' The liquor question
enters into the State election today and may determine its results.
If prohibition can succeed in any State it ought to be a success in
Maine, which has a homogeneous population and is largely agri
cultural. And in Maine it has proved a signal failure.

Parent. who Handicap Teachers.

ParenNS VINO bdhufIaP
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The public schools open TO-DAY anu
thousands of children will be enrolled
to prepare for life's earnest work. Fono
parents will speak with pride of their
little Johnny or Ethel. now old enough
to attend school. and at the end OF
each day listen eagerly TO the tales OF
the little ones describing their wonder
full progress. OF course, each mother
will think her own child the best ana
brightest in the class. Fol this they
can be forgiven. but there is n thing
that 1 wish to call to the attention OF
mothers which 1 think is Of vital I'M
p~ortance.
In East Orange and the residential
sections of Newark many mothers an
tagonize the teachers as soon as they
discover hat they try to enforce the
discipline of the school upon their W
children. Discipline, they argue Is all
right and should be enforced, but they
are certain that their children are al
ways good and should be treated dif-
/ ferently from the others.
I have known mothers in East Or
ange to complain to the principal OF the
school because the teacher had repri-
manded their children, and l kno"
parents who instructed the children to
pay no attention to the teacher In sucn
cases.
In my opinion, the teacher should be
held in the highest esteem by the
parents and children, and her WORD
should be law to the child. Some OF the
more ~aristocratic mothers foolishly un-
derestimate the Importance OF the
teachers work. and because the teacher
does not happen to be in the same So
cial standing as the mothers they look
down upon her.
Parents must remember that II the
children do not respect their teacher
they will not get the full benefit OF her
instruction. f. W. M

O NATIONAL CONSERVATION ONLY.

ena HE National Conservation Congress took strong ground In
its resolutions for national control of conservation. In the
congress the foremost advocates of State control were the
attorneys of the predatory corporations, who unblushingly thrust
themselves into the debate. One of these attorneys represented
companies in California that have already secured millions of the
natural resources of that State and that now have bills pending
in Congress for the Federal government to turn over to them i'm
mensely valuable waterpower sites in the government lands. The
intelligence and patriotism of the National Conservation Congress
in Mailing the flag of national conservation to the mast are in
accord with the instinct of the American people. President Tafts
evident inclination, under the influence of Balinger, to favor State
control brought and emphasized a declaration by the Conservation
Congress that is now a ralying cry for the nation.

rsyor, Mr.. parker. Return.

NJ
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1 appeal to the Republican voters OF
the Seventh district to send delegates to
the congressional convention in favor
of Richard Wayne Parker. I have lis
tened in vain for a single constructive
suggestion from Mr.. Rowland, and all
that he has to say is that he is against
Cannon and Cannonism."
This is a pretty slim reason on which
to select a congressman for so impor-
tant a district as the Seventh, with all
its varied interests. Mr.. Parker has
been in Washington for so long a time
and has so demonstrated his ability as
to make his position there n of great
influence.
In all that time no complaint has
come hat the interests of Newark or
the State of New Jersey have not been
we'll cared for, while, at the same time,
he has maintained his independence
and has not descended to ~log-rolling OF
subseryiency. He has been a represent
alive of the whole people, rather thar
a partisan or politician.
How foolish it would be for the people
of this district to forfeit their influence
and standing in Congress by taking ur
with an untried man. of whom we know
absolutely nothing, and whose platform
seems to consist only of telling what he
will promise not to do,
I heartily hope that Mr.. Parker will
be renominated and reelected. Very
truly, JOSEPH d. HOLMES.

AN INTERESTING PROBLEM.

Discarding the Standard Fair
banks scales and using a pAAr Of
his own construction, a professor
managed recently to weigh the
world.
1t was not found wanting, IN
weight at least, as the Indicator
jumped to the seven triiron ton
mark. In other words. this old
earth weighs approximately as
much as Uncle Joe Cannon seems
to the G. o. P. elephant-to weigh.
Our own figures differed from
Prof. Wetzel's by about fourteen
pounds, but we used an old pair of
Ash scales, so he is probably nearer
correct.
A great many persons, doubtless,
would like to know how to go about
it when seeking to ascertain the
height, complexion, disposition and
weight of a planet. It is really very
simple.
First secure a .torsional gravita-
t1onal balance at any good store
where they are sold. Insist on get
ting the torsional and refuse all
limitations which the clerk may tell
you are Gust as good"
Set the machine up In the back
yard, taking great care to see that
none Of the parts are missing, as
they are all important. Note the
exact spot upon the chart where the
shadow of the Indicator is thrown.
The rest is a mere matter of
mathematics little trigonometry
and calculus with a dash of the
Fourth Dimension.
The veriest novice should have no
difficulty with this problem, now
that the answer is known to DO
seven trillion tons!

invariably neglected and often wholly
overlooked. What is the good or a
lesson only half seen or half heard?
Besides this there is the strain upon
the poo child, small at first. maybe,
but constant and injurious. The
strain may not be noticed by the par
ent or teacher, especially If the child
is proud or sensitive, as such a child
will, consciously or unconsciously, try
to hide its defects.
In view of what 1 have said l know
1t would be wise for parents before
they send their little ones to school
again to have them examined by men
competent to correct defective eyesight
and hearing. The expense is nothing
compared with the value Of the result.

How About Paving, Mr.. FreehoIdersf
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
When will the Hudson and Essex
County Boards of Freeholders get to-
| gether on what particular style of
pavement is to be used on the Plank
road between the Passaic and Hacken-
sack rivers? Several months ago, at a
joint meeting of the committees repre-
senting the two boards. it was agreed
to leave the question of style of pave
ment to the Essex county board, as that
county has to pay three-fifths of the
cost of the pavement.
That seemed a fair proposition, and
when the Essex board voted for wood
block everyone thought the matter was
settled. But 1t was not, for almost as
soon as the report of that vote had
reached the Hudson county board that
body went back on its agreement and
refused to accept wood block, voting
instead for granite. Since then the
two bodies have been in a deadlock.
The persons and firms who use the
road are the sufferers, as the road is
really in a bad way and will be very
dangerous during snowy and sleety
weather during the winter, hat is now
so near at hand.
