The gospel of international goodwill
fits so admirably into the Carnegie
scheme for evangelizing the nations,
that educators have found it impossi-
BILE 10 escape the public demand that
they assume their part in the charac-
ter of active citizenship at home and
abroad. In an admirable editorial, en-
Titled '.Democratizing Education" the
Christian Science Monitor takes up
this topic as follows:
Up to the stage of the high school
American education has become thor
oughly Democratic IN its form and
methods. Over a large area of the
country the process Of adjustment of
school and state TO the same ideal of
equal opportunity has been carried a
step farther 10 logical and ultimate
stage, namely the state university,
that knows no sex distinctions and
gives free tuition TO all youth. In the
older and more conservative region of
the country higher education usually
is in private hands. Women are dis
eliminated against and forced to seek
out institutions created especially for
them. Fees for tuition are maintained
that prevent some youth from rising
higher than the public high school.
Where the principle of democracy
and Of public support is carried out
10 its logical conclusion there has
been a natural development of an ideal
for university that is fast forcing
its way 10 the place of primacy as a
working plan for all American univer-
cities; and no trend in the national
life today is more significant than the
rising consciousness of duty to nation
state and city which both publicly and
privately endowed and managed uni
yersities are displaying. The state
university. in carrying out a policy

The Record Mistaken.

Maine held a special election -four
/ months ago at which State wide pro-
hibition was the sole issue. The pro-
| hibitory law was sustained, so il was
finally decided. by a few hundred votes.
| The ma jority in Maine was for State
wide prohibition. Do we have it?
Maine was never farther from state
wide prohibition than it is today. 1t
voted for State wide prohibition and
| it has State wide notification. Local
option license gives every community
what it wants. State wide prohibition
attempts to force upon the most popu-
| lous most important and most intelll-
gent communities what they don't want
and what they won't stand forbid
| deford Record.
Our Biddeford exchange should
know. If II doesn't, that local option
license NEVER gave ANY community
what 1t wants. not even when il votes
dry
When a community votes wet it
is not true that the community itself
wants booze--it is only a majority of
the voters who want Booze-the non
voters are NEVER considered by the
liquor interests.
The man who or organ which declares
that majority of the men. women
and children of any community wants
saloons, deliberately and malieieusly
lies from selfish purpose. or has never
given the subject a moments thought.
In Maine, as the Record says, a ma
jority of the voters sustained the pro-
hibitory law. The feelings of the wo-
men and youths too young to vote are
never for one moment considered by
Governor Plaisted or his rum-persuad-
ed allies The hope of these men is to
defeat the majority of the voters emily
That would answer the rum trust pur-
pose. Il the question could go once
more to the people, there is a chance
that through apathy the supporters of
the law could be defeated. That is the
rum trust hope.
Again it is true, as the Record says,
that Maine was never farther from
State wide prohibition than today. II
Is also just as true that never in the
history of prohibition in Maine. have
those elected to enforce the laws, so
openly, brazenly and defiantly encour-
aged violation of law, for selfish
purpose. as within the past year.
Every confidence of the people has
been outraged. Those who turned a
willing ear TO Democratic promises of
better enforcement of laws and inn
proved social and financial conditions.
were swindled in the worst way.
The present administration stands
for notification of prohibitory law and
it by word and deed. It
stands for disregard of other law. as
we have had occasion to prove.
Not only does the present admins
tration, which is responsible for the
conditions of which the Record COM
plains, educate law violation for the
sake of discrediting the law itself, but
where honest Democratic officials have
the law, their labors have
been rendered useless by the Govern
or and Council.
Ask Democratic Sheriff Mooers of
Somerset who it was that pardoned
the rum seller he had jailed
Indeed Maine did vote for State wide
prohibition, as the Record says: but
the record is mistaken when it claims
that Maine has State wide nullifica-
ion, for SOME Democratic officials are
of the administration opposition and
the rum trust inducements.

modestly observed, Dec. 10. al Rock

Very few knew Of the important mile
stone, yet the couple received many
congratulatory letters and posr cards.
Their observance OF the day consisted
of attending three services at the First
Baptist church, in which they are
numbered as devoted members. MF
Tighe was born in Bath, Sept 20. 1s59,
a son of John Tighe. His boyhOod was
spent in the shipyard city. His early
business ventures. first as a confec-
toner and secondly as a baker, did not
prove satisfactory TO MIN, and he
moved TO this city in 1s46.-He united
with the First Baptist church under
Rev. S. L. r. Chase and has been

f. l.. Havey of Lewiston, the most
successful tourmaline miner in the
State has just opened another pocket
valued at over $4,000, at his famous
mine in Poland. Some of these gems
are of brilliancy surpassed only by
that of a diamond. Included in the
collection are the pure white tourma-
lines, which closely resemble the dia-
mond, the pale, medium and dark
green's and in fact all of the most del
icate colorings. From the pocket just
opened by Mr.. Havey it is estimated
that the tourmalines will cut at least
$500 carats. A year ago last July Mr..
Hayey found five pockets of tourma-
lines in his mine, valued at $4,000.
Among them went many crystals of
pure white, splashed win red and
known as the watermelon stall.
