There is one man in Skowhegan,

everybody, the friend of every man,
woman and child who goes up and
down our streets. In the heat of
summer, in the cold of winter, the
man who sits in the little house at
the crossing or stands by to raise
and lower the gates has a CHEEKY
greeting to offer, word of sympathy
to speak. or a joke to crack as one
by one the people pass his way.

BABYISH PRACTICE

N HERE cannot be any doubt the in
dignation of citizens who object
"A to seeing the names of Lincoln
and Roosevelt misused, Vulgarized and
buffooned for the attempted purpose of
casting ridicule upon a progressive and
patriotic organization is well founded.
Only contempt of Americanism and
disr gard for the memory of one great
American of the past and the achieve
mcuts and character of another great
American of the present and future
would cause any newspaper to mangle
their names for the purpose of forming
a nickname.
If there were a Washington club our
friend would nickname it wash
club and think a humorous feat had
been performed. If there were a Ham
ilton organization our newspaper wit
ling would call it Ham organization.
There is not any humor in name chop
ping, especially when the names
chopped are those of distinguished pa
triots. It is Il crude and stupid method
of obtaining would-be humorous eff
fects. Calling names is a babyish
business. 1t is a waste of time and en-
ergy. What's the use of it?

SAWTELLE SOLDIERS HOME
EMPLOYS MANY CIVILIANS

SAWTELLE, March 23-[Editor
Herald: The question may be raised
as 10 whether the Pacific branch of
the soldiers homes is of more benefit
to civilians than .uc veterans.
Eliminating all military or naval
employees, inmates or otherwise we
find eighty civilians carried On tie pay
roll with an aggregate payment Of APP
proximatey $500 monthly, while for
the 235 members about $1,000 is paid.
We find in the governors office our
civilian at say SIS monthly and our
member at $40. The treasurer's office
VIII show five civilians at an average
of $40 and four members at SIS. The
quartermaster's office four civilians
averaging SIPS and ten members at 500
The commissary will show about ten
civilians with an average payment of
$40 per month and a hundred members
at $40. The farm can show ten civil
lans at 500 and ten members at So.
The stables ten civilians at S32 per
month and five members at SIS. The
hospital makes better showing-some
forty civilians with n average of SIS
monthly and 100 members at say S15
The adjutant's office is the only one
where civilians have not entered, and
we may put down perhaps ten mem
bers employed here at a LIBERAL esti-
mate of SIS per month.
The reader may draw his or her own
conclusion and answer the question at
the beginning of this article as they
deem best. For every dollar in wages
paid to the veterans five are paid TO
civilians, and the veterans Vainly ask
why. There are surely in Los An
geles alone eighty veterans of the Civil
the Spanish wars able and competent
to I'll these positions, and when the
civil service regulations As enacted by
congress give the preference in all
civil service appointments to honor
ably discharged soldiers ard sailors it
is more than difficult, it is marvellous,
to understand why, in a retreat for
the disabled defender of his country's
flag and honor this principle is re-
versed No attempt is made to lay the
blame for this at the door Of any per-
son or persons.

CITRUS INDUSTRY

I'M citrus growing industry of
Southern California deserves and
Il demands a square deal in rates.
The public believes railroad charges
for refrigeration are much too high, in
view of the modern developments of
preceding. Small growers without
preceding facilities are utterly art the
mercy of the railroads, and an arbi-
trarily unfair charge. or gouge, is dis
advantageous to the entire industry.
No industry can be as prosperous
under a system of discrimination as il
can be with fair play all around"
That is self-evident.
The railroad policy with regard to
the citrus industry has evinced an in
ordinate desire to make as much profit
as possible out of the necessities of
those engaged in the industry. This is
unfair to the fruit growers and hurtful
to the best interests of Southern Cali

SENTIMENT

=, EMINENT of the right kind, up
lifting and not downpulling, was
NJ exemplified in the celebration of
the fiftieth wedding anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. Niles Pease of Los Angeles.
With woman's intuition as to the
appropriate, the effective, the dra-
matte. Mrs. Niles Pease wore her we'd
ding dress.
The sentimentality that induces
good woman to keep her wedding
gown for fifty long years and to keep it
so carefully it can be worn is of the
same nature with the sentiment which
makes and preserves Americas great
est institution, the HOME, and is
worthy of the utmost respect
Too little is said about sentiment,
too much about business necessities
and economic determinism."
Darwin taught men that animal in
stinct and economic determinism are
on the same plane, and produce the
survival of the economically fittest ami
NAL. It is well human beings are not
altO2HlNCE uOIillldAIu ~ 9NoAA Np4N'''
ANALYTICAL views of themselves and
their lives. There is no especial virtue
in exact calculation and the heavens
are not arranged in an orderly man
ner If there were no sentiment in
the skies you would look up aloft and
see an example of economic determin-
ism. All space would be occupied with
patterns and rectangular figures and
exact circles. like the wonderful eX-
actresses northern European girls
chalk on old-fashioned hearthstones.
The sentiment Of a golden wedding is
worth to mankind more and means
more than all the rules and regulations
ever formulated, or than the most ef-
fective demonstration Of the most
bfgoted mathematician.

COMING CONFLICT

A 7 THE present time, writes Ray
"a Stannard Baker in the American
Magazine, property rule, not
rule by the people, is the basis of our
government" In his address on the
Constitutional Position of Property in
America" Professor Hadley of Yale
said: I'm the United States property,
in the modern sense, represents the ba
sis on which the whole social order
was established and built up"
The quotation is cited as a sequel of
speculation as to the personal policy Of
Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Baker is impressed
by the reality Of an impending crisis in
the social problem with possible con-
flict between privilege and constitution
alism not less bitter than that fought
out in the sixties" and evidently he
expects Colonel Roosevelt 10 be the
popular leader-a prospect alongside Of
which consideration of his possible re-
nomination for the prosaic presidency
would be tame and humdrum.
Says the boldly speculative magazine
writer: Professor Hadley makes the
clearest of clear statements of the fun
damental nature of the coming con-
fllct: When it is said, as ii commonly
is, that the fundamental division of
powers of the modern state is into leg
islative, executive and judicial, the stu
dent of American institutions may
fairly note an exception
THE fundamental division of power
in the constitution of the United States
is between voters on the one hand and
property owners on the other
"The forces of democracy on one side,
divided between the executive and leg
islative, are set over against the forces
of property on the other side with the
judiciary as arbiter between them; the
constitution itself not only forbidding
the legislature 10 trench upon the
rights of property, but compelling the
judiciary to define and uphold those
rights in a manner provided by the
constitution itself"
The sentiment here quoted. says Mr.,
Baker, is not that of a radical or
Socialist, but that of a sober and con-
servative university president.

ficient to uphold our dignity, our ma
tional honor and our greatness; more
than that we do not need. Let us
rather turn our attention to the up

morally and physically. Could but part

dread disease, which yearly claims
1860 900 persons in the United States.
would be practically eliminated within
two generations. Again, the cost of
battleship would build and equip man
ual training schools large enough to
accommodate $4,000 young people each
year, for want of which our reform
schools are filled. While from strictly
commercial point of view the cost of
batttleship, expended in constructing
irrigation works, planting burned-oVer
and unproductive lands and making
homes for thousands of families, or
making a deep waterway of the Mssis-
sippi river, would affect the commerce
of the world to a far greater extent
than would another battleship or two.
All nations benefit by commerce. and
when friendly intercourse takes the
place of the present fear and feeling of
insecurity, when arbitration and law
are substituted for force, then and only
then can we be truly patriotic. For
patriotism is too lofty for the narrow
bigotry of mere militarism.

the individuals increased in numbers.
This, [ believe, is the genesis of the
great land interest and is today the
most vital and important of human in
terests.
Civilization is the result of human
labor, guided by thought. All arts,
inventions and systematized industry
are the product of labor Had not our
primitive ancestors been forced by ac-
tual necessity to labor Single TaXer
would have still been an anthropod
ape, and his half-million- dollar lot
would be a home for California ground
squirrels.
If he will stand on his lot and med
itate deeply a close observation will
reveal to him an enormous amount of
human labor has been spent near and
remote to his lot, and this acquired
value of said lot is mostly the product
of labor or of civilization. if he cares
to term it that way The reason Sin
gle TaXer thinks a great deal of it"
is because this lot represents what he
is capable of enjoying in exchange.
1t is the acquired value, and not the
object he has in mind c.

ABSURD SOPHISTRY

TOHN ?. YOUNG, the able and ac-
complished managing editor of the
San Francisco Chronicle, in his
address before the Friday Morning club
Endorsed and perpetuated a very COM
mon error. the persistent recurrence of
which. in spite of rebul1e and correc-
ton, arouses the just ire of all scholars.
We wish we could end this error once
and for ALL because it has caused mis-
chief in the past and may cause more
in the future.
We refer to the ridiculous. absurd,
unjust and outrageous mistake by
which some who "wrest the Scriptures
would practically put upon Jesus the
blame of the persistence of poverty.
Mr.. Young said:
Agitation had called into existence
many sects with Socialstic ideas, and
the most if not all of them aimed at
reforming conditions by the leveling
processes of asceticism. The Christian
religion had this aspect Its keynote
was, The poor We always have with
you"
Now, its keynote was nothing of the
kind. When Jesus said. THE poor We
always have with you" he was answer
ing the objections of his disciples to
the waste of ointment when a repent
ant woman made what was practically
thank offering. The disciples said
the expensive ointment should have
been sold and the proceeds given to
the poor. Jesus exclaimed: Let the
woman alone! Against the day of my
burying hath she kept this. For the
poor always We have with you, but me
We have not always"
Nothing could be palmer than his
meaning, which surely was, You will
have plenty Of other opportunities of
helping the poor, but you won't have
many more opportunities of honoring
me-"
Nothing in Christianity countenances
the absurd idea that poverty is per-
petual and "decreed" concomitant of
Christian civilization.

of increase of medical doctors, deduct
ing the deaths, in 1920 there will be
100 900 doctors who will only have 49,
600, 600 people to depend upon for their
bread and butter. In twenty years, at
the outside the doctors will be out of
business. The present tactics pursued
toward the drugless healers by the
medical profession, if continued, will
only hasten its own downfall. We
should have learned something by the
past
As remarkable as the article itself
is the fact it was published in the
American Journal of Clinical Medicine,
and more remarkable is the comment
of the editor of that enlightened and
authoritative periodical: while this
intensely interesting paper has already
appeared In several of our medical eX
changes we make no excuse for reprint
ing it here. DR.. Jones has a real
message. With his conclusions in the
main we agree
Manifestly, the cause of drugless
healing or of Christian Science is being
helped by the instances of persecution
of its adherents and practitioners which
are reported from time to time.
