being discussed by the experts who
are coming to Maine from outside the
State to give the conference the bene-
fit of their knowledge
Many rural community would go
ahead if there were someone to take
the lead, which is shown by the fact
that many such communities have
forged ahead when somebody has
done so.
TIE Social Significance of Leader
ship is the subject of the Rural
Leadership report written for the
conference by Raymond Pearl,
biologist of the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station. Mr.. Pearl makes
some very specific recommendations
and names the Institutions which he
believes will be the most efficient in
putting real leaders into the field, and
the most potent influences for COM
munity betterment.
We have an industrial school for girls
at Hallowel, already overcrowded; but
no girl over Is years of age can be COM
mitted to that institution, so that at the

only places to which delinquent females
over 10 years of age can be committed
are to jail, or to prison. and in the case
of Cumberland county to the so called
house OF correction. In no one of these
institutions is there any real reform in
fiuence for the individual and no real
protection for society is the declaration
of the relief and welfare commission
which will present its report to the State
Community Efficiency Conference to be
held In Augusta, November 49, IA and 10.
The commission continues: ITO these
places about 200 female offenders are
committed annually. In the Jails of the
larger counties, sometimes two. some
times three women or girls have to be

1t is reported that there is a feel
ing of unrest among the parishioners
of St. Marks Episcopal church be-
cause of a possibility of losing their
rector, Rev. Brian c. Roberts, all
though the possibility is not consider
ed immediate. In speaking of the
matter Sunday to the Journal Mr..
Roberts said that he had received
two calls and that while he still had
one under consideration the accept
ance of the other was out of the
question, and whatever decision he
reached there would be no immediate
action. His parishioners hope that he
will decide to remain in Augusta as
since he assumed the pastorate of
St Marks he has been very active
in the welfare 'of the parish. He has
been instrumental in the formation
of number of organizations and the
general upbuilding of the parish and
ii was through his earnestness that
st. Marks Parish house with its
many conveniences was erected on
the church property.

LOUIS TONDREAJJ
GETS JAIL TERM
FOR SINGLE SALE
Appeals-Eddie Barney Sent Up
For 80 Days for Stealing
Sweater-COuldn't Pay

Louis Tondreau was before the mu-
nicipal court saturday morning to an
swer to a warrant sworn out against
him by Treble Breton and charging
him with a single sale of a pint of
intoxicating liquor to Peter Romeo,
while sale was alleged to have been
made Thursday. Nov. 5. Tie re-
spondent was represented by W. NJ.
Sanborn and entered a plea of not
guilty.
The testimony of the complainant
was in effect that auuut O'Clock on
the afternoon of the day in question
he went to Ronco's room, which is in
a house on Mt. Vernon avenue a short
distance from the respondents house,
and asked Romeo to go over TO Ton
dreau's house and get him pint of
whiskey, which Romeo did after the
complainant had given him a dollar
with which to pay for the whiskey;
that the complaint followed Romeo and
saw the sale made and saw Romeo
receive 25 cents in change; that after
returning to Ronco's room the com
plainant had half of the liquor pour
ed into smaller bottle which he took.
Romeo retaining the original bottle
and what liquor there was left in it.
The foundation of the defence was
that the action brought against the
defendant was due 10 spite because
the complainant had been sued for
bill which he owed Tondreau At the
conclusion of the hearing the court
found the respondent guilty OF the
charge and imposed a sentence of $50
and costs and 80 days in jail and in
default of payment of fine and costs
80 days additional, from which an ap-
peal was taken and bonds furnished |
in the sum of 5000 for appearance at
the January term of the superior /.

he sold for 30 cents a local dealer in
Eddie disclaimed any knowledge CT
the sweater or what had become of
it, but when by City Marshal Col
gan told him that the whole transact
ton and the present wherea bouts of
the sweater was known to him Eddie
changed his mind and upon being ar
raigned before the court admitted his

of this State. That sounds like
drawing the long bow, but this is a
matter which the delegates will have
an opportunity of threshing out for
themselves.
Another commission report is signed
by f. X. Jordan, the we'll known lum-
herman of Alfred. What Denomi-
national Agencies Can Do in Maine
to Promote Christian Unity" is the
subject of his report. That eternal
question which confronts State field
secretaries of the different denomina-
tions every day of their lives, how to
weld three or four dead churches in
the small community into one live
church. is the subject of his paper.
And here, as in other instances, the
conference delegates will have a
chance to hear the last word on this
subject, and themselves take part in
the discussions
Good Roads: Who is not interested
in this subject. Prof George T.
Files of Bowdoin presents a report on
this matter. Being a teacher in
another department of knowledge he
can discuss the subject from the view
point Of the intelligent layman rather
than from tie technical standpoint of
the engineer or the public service
commissioner, hence his recommended
tons will be worth minute considera-
ton.
Industrial Welfare; This report is a
bit longer than some but as it treats
of conditions in some Maine mills and
industries it will make very interest

addition will nave added advantage of

Opening with a banquet on Friday
evening next the State Community
Efficiency Conference, to be held in
this city Nov. 10, IA and Is gives
promises of being one of the most
noteworthy gatherings ever held in
the Pine Tree State The banquet
will be held at the Augusta City Hall
and the church and community work
ers from far and wide will sit down
at 6.45 that evening.
The committee of arrangements, of
which Arthur A. Head of Waterville
is secretary, are extremely anxious
that all who are planning to attend
the conference and particularly the
banquet, should notify the committee
as soon as possible, so that proper
arrangements can be made The
registration fee for delegates is 81 and
tickets to the banquet are IS cents
In the cities where there are not any
local ticket committees these may be
obtained direct from the executive
secretary. A. A. Head, Savings Bank
building, Waterville.
Those who have been in doubt
whether they would attend the con-
ference or not have instantly made up
their minds to attend upon hearing
that one of the principal speakers
will be Charles F. Nesbit of Washing
ton D. C., who is not stranger TO the
people of Maine. Mr.. Nesbit is in
charge of the herculean task of
cleaning up Washington work in
which the late Mrs. Wilson, wife of
the President. was so deeply interest

tions. more crime is conceived, more poll
luton of mind and more undermining of
morals is caused than in any cheap dance
hall in the State"
That the coming conference is to be of
the accomplish something" type, seems
to be proved by the practical manner in
which the various commissions are doing
their work preliminary to the session of
the Conference. All the delegates may
not of course agree with the recommen-
dations of the commissioners, but the
facts have been obtained after careful
investigation and the delegates will be in
possession of an abundant amount of
first hand knowledge on a variety of
subjects, of which the above mentioned
report is one.
Clifford McGlauhin of Portland we'll
known as an attorney, member of the
Civic Righteousness Commission. has
prepared special report on the subject
of Party Slavery" Nh. MeGlaufin
quotes the classic instance of the Port
land lawyer, who declared he would vote
for the devil If the devil was a candidate
for his party
In summarizing conditions Mr. Nc
Glaufiin cites another instance 1.-The pas
tor OF a church who believed in good
government, prohibition, and law en-
forcement, and was a candidate for the
State legislature. His own church mem
bers, without questioning their pastors
ability and honesty, and protesting to be-
lieve In the same things that the pastor
believed in, voted for a man who was
not only under the influence of intoxicat-
Ing liquor on election day, but carried
bottles of liquor to the polls for the pur-
pose of influencing voters in his behalf"
Mr. McGlaufiin recommends the adop-
ton of the Massachusetts ballot law,
fun discussion of the civic problems in
the press. teaching the children to avoid
becoming political slaves, and an impair
tial discussion of the question of party
slavery in such gatherings as clubs,
oranges and debating societies.
