celebration will be an emphasis on that
early history IN order that more justice
may be done The subject by future ms
torians up to this time. Already Maine
has celebrated three tercentenaries--
those at Popham. ST. Croix Island and
at Castine-before its mother state
Massachusetts, gets its chance to cele-
brate its first one at Plymouth. Maine
was the tenth State to be admitted to
the Union. and it has never failed to
make its presence felt since that time.
Its intense spirit of State pride and
loyalty is indicated by the fact that 1t
is already definitely planning to eele-
brate its statehood centenary in 1920.
while four other states-Indiana, Mis-
sissippi Illinois and Alabama-whose
centenaries fall between now and that
year, are making few If amy plans to
observe the anniversaries But what
ever Maine does in 1920 it is hoped that
1t will not feel obliged to have an expo
sition as a part of the celebration. And
the same may be said with even greater
earnestness in regard to the Pilgrim
tercenteuary of the same syear. a4Isoston

Our lewiston Friend"

Considera bic interest anu some IN
dignation are being expressed because
Governor Burleigh and the Kennebec
Journal has so long ignored the ven
omous attacks of the Lewiston Jour
nal. OF course such a policy as pur-
sued by our veteran personal friend, .
the chief of our Lewiston contempt
rary, is expected of PROGRESSED
Democratic organs The purpose is
obvious, to perpetuate any feeling be-
tween Republican factions. and to
make the chasm as wide and as deep
as possible. That may be termed
good politics" for those who are in
terested in the fortunes of Democracy.
Indeed the now common suggestion is
entirely plausible that the astute pol
iticaI finger of Hon. William r. Pat
tangall. supplemented by the artistic
Daniel ]. McGillicuddy, is seen beneath
the fine frenzy of the editor of the
Lewiston Journal.

friends, let us say that we feel not
resentment toward, but pity for, our
friend of the shattered brain in the
Lewiston journal Office His case has
been somewhat pitiful through all the
wears in which he has nursed fan
cied grievance against the Republic
can party Of Maine. His desired re-
yenge has become a mania that re-
acts upon his otherwise valuable
newspaper.
We have RETAINED from entering in
TO a controversy that must prove
more or less distasteful to Kennebec
Journal readers, when there is moth
ing advanced in the rantings of Editor
Dingley worthy of notice. His jumbled
play on phrases means nothing, and
we are convinced is making friends
instead of enemies for Governor Bur
leigh. We fail to see how such dis
honorable course as SEEMS to be ad-
yocated by the Lewiston Journal, can
be taken seriously by intelligent men.
The members elect of the Maine Leg
islatnre are neither boys nor idiots.
They know their duty to the people
who elected them, and it is not our
purpose to attempt to instruct them.
In Thursday evenings Lewiston
Journal it's readers will find an open
invitation to Progressives and Demo-
Gratis to combine to defeat the prl-
maries in open defiance of the advice
of Former President Theodore Roose-
welt. This would seem to prove the
suspected collision between the Lew
iston Journal editorial rooms and GER
tain Democratic leaders, Here is the
proof, clipped from an editorial en-
titled Progressive Democrats Versus
Retrogressives of the Burleigh- Penrose
School,:
"If Progressive Republicans and
Democrats unite in Congress, Leg
isIatures and elsewhere, the Hale
BurIeigh system will be knocked
into cooked hat to which its de-
merits fully sntitle it."
We leave it to the intelligence of
the gentlemen of the Legislature.

proposing definite appropriations for
good roads, was defeated, but not be-
cause the senate is unfriendly to or

shown by the adoption of another

Georgia's Shame.

Georgia the most progressive
state in the south in many ways, Is
held in the rear by certain bad ele-
ment when it comes to a matter of
respect for law and anti-race
prejudice. In 1912 it had eighteen
lynchings, three times its number of
legal executions. Kentucky, which
was second in lynehings, had only
eight.
The stereotyped defense Of negro
lynching is its reflection of super
ior regard for womanhood, but even
il all such depredations were to
avenge wrongs to women-which is
not the case--the defense would still
fall to the ground in Georgia, where
but recently a posse OF white men
beat white girl to death for a
trivial cause.
But the states disgrace lies
chiefly in the fact that these men
seem to have escaped punishment en-
tirely. 1t is small wonder, there
fore, that a little while later forty
white men rush into court room
at Columbus, Ga, overpower the Of
flcials, seize a negro boy Just con-
vieted of manslaughter, when the
rabble demanded first degree mur-
der, and take him out and lynch
him. These bloodthirsty bandits did
not even take the pains 10 conceal
their identity, showing their con-
fidence In the state of public senti-
ment that would meekly tolerate, If,
indeed, not acquiesce in such an act
OF outlawry.
The redeeming feature for Georgia
Is that its leading newspapers, re-
flecting, Of course, the best senti-
ment of the people. deplore and con-
denim such archaic and wanton dis
regard for law and order. But the
facts show what hereulean task the
majority has with the unbridled
minority.
