When we consider the elements of true serv-

sons why we should be of good courage.
Loyalty is the first requisite of service

A Familiar Scene.

After leaving a train at the South
Station yesterday forenoon. a modest
girl, apparently about 16 years of age,
the station by a young man of the
street corner, pool-room type. She
gave one look at him, turned her head
away and walked toward the main ex-
it, followed closely by the young man,
who talked to her continually in a
low tone until she reached Dewey
square. Then he turned back, went In
to the station again and waited, prob
ably, for some other un-accompanied
girl to come under his observation.
That particular specimen of human
ity is one of the regular eoterie of
insulting loafers who may be found
in various parts of the South Station
almost any day. 1t is about time for
a roundup, not only in the South, but
in the North Standardization Journal.
Why is it, with the largo number
of persons in public service, that such
conditions are always allowed to go on
until the press makes fuss" about
it? Without the possibility of doubt,
patrolmen and other officers know of
the operations of these human pests,
yet as long as possible they are ig-
nored--until the press exposes the con-
ditions, the apathetic or collusory Off
cials and urges the public to inter-
ference and correction.

Editorial Comment.
The Right Mant
belfast Journal.)

The Maine Press association has
done itself proud" by electing as pres
ident. w. O. Fuller of the Reckland
Courier Gazette. The honor has never
been more worthily bestowed and The
position will be worthily filed. Fuller
is not only a journalist of ability and
experience but a literary cuss as
well, and as toastmaster at a banquet
he is worth the price of admission
Now let us get Oliver Otis into the
association, even if it is necessary to
use force. The death of that good old
Democrat and genial companion, Col
Adams of the Portland Argus, lett
vacancy which has not been filled. and
we can think of~no one more eligible
for the place than Otis. 1t would do
him good to mix in with the Republican
newspaper men, and he would be well
coined by them. Some time ago we ad-
vecated changing the system of meet
ings, under which they alternate be-
tween Portland and Augusta, and hold
ing the meetings in different sections
of the State, and we are glad to see
that the necessary change was made
in the bylaws at the recent annual
meeting in Portland. Under the old
system the meeting in January, 1915,
would be held again in Augusta, but it
was decided to meet again in Portland.
This we believe to be mistake and
hope it may be rectified. The meeting
should be held in Rockland, the home
of President Fuller, which would as
sure an old-time attendance at the
meeting and banquet.

Perhaps Why Davis Didn't Get It.

nal Revenue for the District of Maine
was bestowed upon a New Hampshire

position. had his endorsements re-
turned to him, and in them he found
the following letter from my old
friend Libby"
Hon. Woodrow Wilson. Dear Sir
MY Cyrus Davis of this State has pre-
sented himself as candidate for the
Collectors Office of Revenue for this dis
trict, and please allow me to say he has

that made your election possible.

This is made the text of an open
letter by Mr. Davis to his "old friend"
Libby, in which he INDUCES in more
or less sarcasm of no public interest,
but concludes by saying:
In doing what you could to assist the
President in finding worthier man than

have unwittingly done Maine slight
service, for am free to do work which

powerful evil. 1t stands on its prop
erty rights and personal liberty, as
slavery stood three scores of years
ago. 1t declares, as slavery declared,
that it cannot be overthrown because
of the rights" of its victims, whom
| 1t goes on making with all the skill
and facilities in its vast power, even
as slave holders so years ago sold
their own flesh and blood to other i'm
moral and constituencies traffickers
to develop new lust and crime and
blood money.
Here are words of Wendell Phillips
uttered more than three score years
ago: apply them to the liquor slavery
of today. He said:
our object is not to make every
man Christian or a philosopher, but
to induce every one to aid in the alb
olition of slavery. We expect to ac-
eomplish our object long before the
nation is made over into saints or ele-
waited into philosophers. To change
public opinion, we use the very tools
by which ii was formed. That is,
all such as an honest man may touch.
= e In critical times, when
wrong step entails most disastrous
consequences, to mean weir is not
enough. Sincerity is no shield for any
man from the criticism of his fellow
laborers. When we
come to talk of craftsmanship, of sa-
gacity in choosing time and measures,
of endeavor by proper means, to right
the public mind, of keen insight into
the present and potent sway over the
future, il seems to us that the Aboli-
tionists, who have taken-whether for
good or for i'll, whether to their dis
credit or to their praise--this country
by the four corners. and shaken it un-
til you can hear nothing but slavery,
whether you travel in railroad or
steamboat, whether you enter the hall
of legislation or read in the columns
of a newspaper-it seems to me that
such men may point to the present
aspect of the nation, to their originally
avowed purpose to the pledges and
efforts of all your great men against
them. then let you determine to which
side the credit of sagacity and states
manship belongs. - To
waken the nation to its real state, and
chain it to the consideration of this
one duty, is half the work. So much
we have done. Slavery has been made
the question of this generation"

The Horrors of Then and of Now


AT Boston in 1858, Wendell Phillips
made notable speech which has
served as a fund of quotations down
through the years. In those days the
moral forces were contending with
slavery-black slavery, brutal slavery.
slavery before which the horrors Of
the present white slavery" business
seem faint in comparison: a slavery
embodying the same bestial traffic as
the white slavery of today and a hun
dred times worse; a slavery counten-
anced by law, protected by law and
accepted by the great mass of Ameri-
can people as personal liberty
grown out of practice and tradition.
How bitter were the friends of slavery
against the "ramrodders'' and the
''meddlers'' and fanatics who de-
manded. in the spirit of the Most High,
that the curse and shame of slavery be
abolished.
Wendell Phillips was one of those
fanatics" and how bitterly was he
denounced and berated! The slavery
adherents pointed to the countless
millions of property that would be lost
by abolition and emancipation. They
pointed to their "persconal rights in
free country" to exploit the bodies
and souls of the unfortunate human
beings which they stole from another
land. They acknowledged no moral
right to interfere with their material
gain nor with the awful debauchery by
their moral degenerates among their
slaves. They claimed the right to sell
like cattle, the mothers of their own
offspring, and the offspring themselves
because white slaves brought highe,
prices in the "white slavery" that wal
embedied In the black slave traffic.
We look back in shame and horror
upon those awful conditions-condi.

cfaI and business life of great nation

Boom Maine!

Starting from the Capital City OF
Maine on Feb q, the Pine Tree State
Is to be doomed according to the most
approved plans of modern publicity, by
every business, educational and social
organization in the State. At last we
are awakening in the "effete East, as
they say of us in the West, to West
ern methods of blowing ones own
horn. All too long has the East, par
ticulariy the Northeast and especially
Maine, been listening to the siren OF
promise in the great "undeveloped
West" That expression has caught
thousands of our best combinations of
brain and Drawn, who never stopped to
consider that Maine is as "unde-
veloped" as any of the great desert
reaches. All it needs is the applica-
ton of some of the gray matter that
we have sent to solve the problems of
the Central West, the Far West, the
Pacific Coast, the Great Northwest
and the Southwest.
In every mail we receive the fairy
tales embodied in the publicity matter
of these great boom lands which are
bidding for our young men and our
capital. For more than half a CEN
tury we have had the fever of 40. We
have robbed our vital interests to pro-
vide the mind, muscle and millions to
boom and nourish and boast about,

Now let us stick to facts awhile and
show to ourselves, even should we
not invade the sacred precincts we
have builded. far away, that the
creator experimental long before he
succeeded in a climate, scenery, nat
ural resources and productivity good
enough for New England. We can
beat them all at their own trades, If
we will only get into the game" to-
gether.
At last we are going to advertise,
and tell the facts, and recall some of
The things that people know but for
get in the glamor of the claims of
others. We are going to BOOM

holler once for ourselves-hurrah for
u.s. Here we go-all together now

1t is appropriate that this movement
thould start at the State Capital.
The headquarters of the organization
should be maintained here. 1t is an
Ail-Maine affair This movement
should radiate from the Capital in
every direction, into every corner. Let
US talk about it loudly enough so that
we can be heard in other states, and
SO that they will come up here to dis
cover what we are shouting about. We
have the goods. let us have the con-
ddence to display them and tell the
world about them.
