Bic Cry. Little Wool.

The eagerness with which the at
torney- generals mouthpiece sliced
upon a typographical error in att
tempting to discredit Republican
member of the Maine House of
Representatives is characteristic. The
setting of ''rurar' as moraT by a
Maine weekly was the excuse for a
Pattangallian blast on the moral
sections of the state"-yes, asinine,
but undoubtedly irritating TO Mr..
Austin, who was well aware that
many people would be misled.
Mr.. Austin. who is candidate for
Speaker of the next House, in re-
marks upon resuhmission, used the
words.
Il am thoroughly of the belief
that the rural sections of the
State believe today that con-
stitutienal prohibition is the best
policy for the state Of Maine to
adopt.
And. the Pattangall voice demands,
in tones of awesome accusation, 10
know where the "immoral sections
of the State are located. From the
fhnnderous tones of Remedies Rex
Imperator we learn that Mr. Austin
allowed his seloqueuce to rum away
with him, "at the expense of truth to
get. in right; with The folks at home
sAIs. Austin simply asked the Demo-
cratic Dictator to read the Legislative
Record and see that he said nothing
about moral sections, but referred,
twice, to rural sections"

A State Wide HWhite Way"

The project to light ten miles of the
state highways in New York as an ex-
pertinent preliminary to Illuminating a
great circuit from New York city to
Buffalo by way of Albany and back
through the southern tier of counties,
is in the line OF increasing travel and
decreasing the necessity for police SER
vice. Men of evil deeds love darkness
better than light, and the proposed
Greater White Way" for the Empire
state might be expected to be more no.
torious for joy riders than for hold
uppers, unless the aute-thugs of France
be imported--the Worthless to sue
coed the Worth creations.
II the New York plan is carried out
1t will be the first undertaking of its
kind in the United States, probably in
the world, at least anything of cor
responding magnitude. II would vastly
increase the utility of the roads, maxi
ing traffic as safe at night as by day,
for according to the plan. poles of re-
inforced concrete 45 feet high would be
erected at intervals Of ABOUT 500 feet,
1t is estimated that the entire install
lation. including cost of.poles. wires and
lamps. would be 100000.
1t is expected that water power will
be used to generate electricity for the
Greater White Way. Some of this
may be obtained from the supply
which the State proposes TO develop in
connection with its barge canal. but IL
is probable that Niagara Falls would
be called upon for much ofathe current,
al least on the western part of the cir
cult.

Accusing the Masses.

The Men and Religion Forward
Movement. which has caused a ma
ton wide sensation. has not restrict
ed its activities to purely religious
matters. Various social problems
have been attacked for example. a
careful analysis of conditions in yari-
GUS cities has resulted in recommen-
dations for improved sewerage and
quarantine systems. protection OF
milk supply, organization of health
departments, better opportunities for
harmless recreation, improved garb-
age collection, etc. In many cities ex-
cellent results followed the work. The
fundamental basis was a survey of
actual conditions. that is, the tabula-
ton of all the ascertainable facts in
the case before taking action. We
are merely touching on the medical
phases OF this movement. Its chief
work, of course, was religious, but the
movement seemed to attack the hu-
man problem in all it's ramifcations

Governor Piaisted is a lovely talker.
The Waterville Sentinel tells us that he
talked on conservation at the Kenne-
bee Conservation meeting at Augusta.
Friday evening. You would have
thought that he originated the policy
of conservation.
However, only one thing needs be
said. The entire attitude of the Plaist-
ed administration IN the CRUCIAL hours
of the Octopus was against conserva-
ton Of the Peoples rights as abe Folks
understand them.
In that crucial hour of the 18th Leg
isature the Governor could have
talked" to aApurpose. A word would
nave settled it. 1t didn't come. He was
mum. And nothing saved us except the
revolt of the people, the appeal and
the exhortation of the newspapers-the
| Waterville Sentinel included--and the
| threats of the rank and file of the dem

are due in short order as soon as the
public is awakened to the POSSIBLE
ties.
Enlightened public opinion is the
most potent force toward better pub
lie health and sanitation. Physicians
will succeed in their campaign for
prevention of disease in proportion to
the understanding of the value of
health measures by the public and its
co operation to secure education. The
journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION recently commented on the
6esirability of more cooperation be-
tween physicians and churches in
public health education

Lessons of the Primaries.

Somebody is likely to learn two or
three lessons about politics in presi-
Dental preference primaries as re-
suit of the long drawn out and fiereely
fought contests of this year. One of
them is that preparation in a political
way should be-made as thoroughly as
for the inter- party contest after the
nominations have been made in Ma
tional conventions. The leaders and
managers should be selected with spe-
ciai care.
A great change has come over politi-
cal management In the United States.
II is not at all certain that there Will
come four years from now anything
like as heated nomination campaign
as now exists, but the methods and the
management of politics will be much
along new lines There must be more
effort, prior TO the nomination. Ways
must be found of arousing popular in
terest in nominations. if the primary
system is to prevail, as it probably will
prevail.
