LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
World Organization Rather Than
World Disarmament the Means.

World peace as the result of world
Organization, rather than coming
from world disarmament, was the
theme of an address on 1.-The Larger
Patriotism" given before the mem
bers of the Winthrop Club by Edwin
j. Mead of Boston. Mr. Mead is one
of the foremost students of peace prob
lens in this country, and his address,
which was given recently before the
board of trade, commanded much in
terest. In his talk on patriotism he
emphasized the principle. that peace
must be the outcome of the growth of
spirit of brotherhood i'm men rather
than of any formulation of laws He
showed the development of the peace
movement from the earliest times, and
told how every great thinker of every
age had concerned himself with the
problem. 1t can only be solved, he
said, by a realization of the highest
principles of Christianity, from sense
on the part of men that while they are
citizens of nations they are also citi-
zens of the world and that their larg-
est patriotism is a consideration of
the needs of all men There was
good attendance of members of the
club to hear Mr.. Mead. and they We're
much pleased with his effective and
eloquent presentation of his subject.
Mr. Mead referred in opening to the
famous tractate by Tolstoi published
"a dozen years ago upon Patriotism
versus Christianity Surveying the
conditions of the nations of Europe,
all suspicious and jealous of each
other, each nation an armed camp, the
people everywhere crushed by the
monstrous burden of ornaments, mil
lions of men everywhere in arms, the
great Russian found that the cause
of it all was the extravaganza OF the
national feeling called patriotism, and
he declared that the time had come
when patriotism had ceased To be
virtue. when it was a crime. the one
sentiment which did more than any
other to keep the nations from the
brotherhood and cooperation which
Christianity commands. 1t was Chris
tianity's chief enemy and hindrance.
Mr.. Mead felt that the Russian pro-
phet had defined patriotism falsely,
that the patriotism which he consid-
cred was a bastard patriotism, and not
true patriotism. But the trouble is
that most patriotism is bastard patri-
otism; and whether Tolstoi is correct
or not in his definitions, he had put
his finger on the worlds danger, and
it is imperative that all serious men
should listen to him. 1t was often
necessary in this careless world to
speak with an extravagant emphasis
in order to get attention at all. II
we speak temperately, we can at least
say with Howells that there are great
er words IN this world than patriot
ism, and that among them are justice,
civilization and humanity. Emerson

enthusiastic over the matter and near

onposition to Mooers.

Some Of the Democratic party have
now begun to work some plan where
by they can show that Sheriff Mooers
has violated the primary law and if
he receives the nomination of either
the Democratic or Republican parties
the nomination can become void ana
the Democratic candidate become the
nominee. This matter was discussed
by some of the leading Democrats that
opposed Mooers Saturday, and one OF
them stated that some of the Demo-
Gratis were already investigating his
petition at the secretary of States Of
fee at Augusta and that they could
prove irregularity in the makeup OF
Il. He stated further that to prove
that this was fact it had been found
that in Sheriff Mooers' petition in
which the Republicans had placed
their signatures for his nomination he
had declared himself as Republican
and signed his name to that effect,
and that he had enrolled as a Demo-
crat and signed the Democratic petit
ton for the nomination of sheriff.
The Democrats are now trying to
prove that this Is not in accord with
the primary law. especially in the en-
rollment clause. Several lawyers in
the State and one a judge have re-
Gently stated that Sheriff Mooers can
be placed on both tickets without vio-
lating the law. He has already re-
ceived over 100 signatures from the
Republicans and. up to Saturday noon,
he had received nearly 80 names from
the Democratic party. Thirty five
Democrats In Norridgewock signed
the petition and of all the men that
were approached there were only two
who did not care to sign It.
