Admirable Cooperation

One form of organization broke
down under the stress of emergency
so in accordance with the immutable
law of nature another comes forward
to take its place. ultimately If not at
once. Such are the causes underly-
ing the incorporation of the kennebec
Valley Protective Association. Con-
summation of this plan Is distinct
step in advance, that will be well
coined by all who understand the
tremendous share of the timberlands
in moulding our. economic lift.
This new corporation is particu-
larly significant of the spirit of the
times. 1t is a fine example of the
way practical men are coming to look
beyond the personal equation, and to
fundamental principles in seeking
to achieve results. Concentration of
authority, freedom from red tape and
direct accountability again come into
their own.
After observing occurrences like
the above, year after year, it makes
us smile to hear ordinarily intel
ligent men solemnly swear
that he only way to alleYi-
ate our social ills, is to \dump
one set of office holders out and put
another in. Where the difficulty In
wolves property and dollars and
cents, everybody can see the under
lying causes in a moment. But
when it is humanity, with health and
happiness hanging in the balance
with misery and disease, conserva'
tism stands pat on the work OF the
founders. The man who really does
| much thinking about the latter COM
bination Is apt to be considered a
dangerous citizen. Queer, isn't 1t!

An Interesting Comparison

In these days, when sundry stand
patters are so stridently praising the
theory of representative government,
1t will do no harm at least, to inquire
how far that theory goes towards
fitting the facts. Fortunately for the
much lauded superstitious opportu-
mites to really get at the facts do
not come frequently. One of the
latest and best was afforded by the
legislative treatment and subsequent
referendum on the initiated direct
primary bill.
In the legislature this bill was re-
ferred to the committee on judiciary.
The members OF that committee had
before them tangible evidence of the
vide spread sentiment in favor OF
real direct primaries. Arguments in
favor of the measure were fully pre-
scented at the hearing, and nothing
worthy the name of opposition, open
/ ly appeared Senators Gowell of
York and Stearns of Oxford
voted for a favorable report on the
bill as did, of course, Representative
Davies, its principal sponsor. But
all the other members of the commit
tee remained hostile to the end.
Now let us examine the vote which

Big Primary Vote in Bay
State

Massachusetts tried out her new
direct primary law two weeks ago
last Tuesday, and with pretty salts
factory results. A bad storm inter
fered with the travelling in the rural
sections, and there was practically
no contest for the Democratic NOM
nation for governor, yet more than
10000 voters helped make the nom
nations. There was ut little of
that apathy for which the old line
politicians hoped. With but nom
inal vote they would have been quick
to start the talk for repeal of the
primary law. AS it is they Will be
likely to try and make the best OF
the situation. The issue of the cleo
ton is pretty clearly drawn. Tradi-
ton and conservatism will be the
mainstays of the Republican cam
paign, while the Governor will make
a strong appeal for reelection by
the forces of discomfort. Economic
conditions in general give him some
advantage, but his pet hobby OF
Canadian reciprocity is rather the
worse for wear.

Professor Smith Scores

The State of Maine Is distinctly
the debtor to Prof. Payson Smith for
his vigorous stand against the high
school fraternities. We do not I'M
derstand that our local institutions
have ever been afflicted bS these
parasites, but far too many of oui
schools have Whatever may be said
in favor of secret societies at private
schools or colleges, the institutions
for which the taxpayers furnish the
means of support is no place for
them.
At college or preparatory school
where the young man has no longer
the beneficent influence of family and
home the fraternity supplies a sub
stitute that is many times Of great
value Brotherly counsel by upper
classmen has kept more than one
young fellow from doing things that
as an older man he would keenly re-
greet Managed as some at least of
them are at the University of Maine,
the fraternity is distinctly financial
benefit to the members in keeping
down their cost of living.
But all this is in distinct contrast
to conditions as they exist In the
public high school. There the frat
operates to give an excuse for more
or less snobbishness, and to empha-
size the contrast between the rich
and the poor Added to this is more
or less energy diverted from the
school work proper to social func-
lions of questionable value. The
facts are all against the high school
frat and we hope that Prof Smith
will carry on his campaign until each
and every one of them In Maine has
been extinguished

A Good Roads Campaign
What Next?

John Clark Scates of Westbroof,
member of the legislature, Vice-presi-
dent of the local trust company, and
one of the prominent members of the
Democratic party, has launched a
campaign for better roads In Maine.
Strength to his arms, volume to his
voice, power to his pen! If there Is
one thing that Maine needs and needs
desperately, 1t Is better roads.
What Is it that keeps Maine from
having good roads? Nothing that you
can put your hand on to be sure,
but two very potent factors, just the
same, commonly known as politics
and honest graft" The political su-
premacy In most of our towns centres
about the patronage of the highway
work. This work Is done, not with ref
erence to the greatest good to the
greatest number, not with economy 4
efficiency as the aim, but with an eye
| to the effect upon the vote at the mex
town meeting. Representatives t.
the legislature are more or less un
der the influence Of these admins
tration rings" and therefore refuse
to sanction laws that would put oul
highway administration on a bust
ness basis.
Mr.. Scates tells pretty much the
whole story when he asks the fol-
lowing questions under the leader
why is New Hampshire doing better
road work than Maine?
Mr.. Road Commissioner:
Why do you neglect to fill the
holes in your roadside expense Is
small-when you know they will, in
comparatively short time. destroy
the whole road?
Why do you dump your road ma
terial directly on the road, when you
know every load will make a hump
as we'll as depression In the road,
which makes catch basin to hold
the water after every rain?
Will you use the road machine on
sandy and clayey road, when you
know by so doing the road Is made
infinitely worse than 1t was before
When you fill hole, why do you
build the spot so much higher than
the rest fthe road, when you know
by so doing you will make two de-
pressions, one on each side of the
hole you fill, when only one existed
before?
The amount your town appropri-
ates for roads Is of no greater i'm
portance than is the way you expend
it.
Why do you waste your towns
money?
Mr.. Road Commissioner:
Your greatest sins Is negligence
rather than ignorance.
