It's a mistaken cause for ball play
er to engage in a brawl with a butcher
who has a meat axe, says the New
York Telegram. Take the case of
Tyrus Raymond Cobb by way of illus
tration. Today Mr.. Tyrus Fire eating
Cobb, in gloom and silence, watches
his teammates swing along the PEN
nant path. He is benched, not by the
edict of an umpire, but by reason of a
disabled digit resulting from scuffie
with the butcher with the meat axe.
The Detroit Tigers are disabled be-
cause the Cobbian digit is disabled.
They are, in fact, seriously disabled.
And the butcher with the meat axe
what of him? Is he disabled? Not
according to latest reports. Is his
business still running smoothly pen
nantward? Presumably it is. The
moral being, never. tinker with a
butcher who has a meat axe.

City hall was filled to it's comfort
able seating capacity Tuesday evening,
the event being the graduating exer-
cises of the class of 1914 of the Cony
High school, and the program carried
out was listened to with pleasure by
all. AT the close of the eercises di-
plomas were presented to As gradu-
ates. The members of the graduating
class were by the program rendered
made to feel that their work in the
High school had not been in vain but
rather had given them the power to
be masters of the situation around
them and above all to be good citi-
zens.
The class led by the class marshal,
Donald Leigh, marched to the front
of the hall about p. M, and were
seated. On the stage were seated Su-
perintendent of Schools Herman II.
Stuart, Rev. Paul Phalen. Rev. Brian
c. Roberts, member of the Board of
Education, Principal Henry Cobb OF
the High school, and Prof. w. b.
Mitchell of Bowdoin College. Rev.
Paul Phalen offered prayer after
which music selections were rendered
by Dennis Orchestra.
The speaker OF the evening was
Wilmot 3. Mitchell, professor OF
rhetoric and oratory at Bowdoin Col
iege.
Professor Mitchell chose for his sub
/ ject "Twentith Century Citizenship.
| Among other things he said In It's
Fundamental essential the citizenship
of this century does not differ from
that of the 10Th century or the 18TH
tor the nth The State has always
demanded loyal service from its good
citizens and that is all 1T demands to-
dav: but the complexfty of our mod
ern life is such that the duties of the
citizen in this century deserve special
emphasis.
The ideal Goth century citizen does
not forget the good citizens that have
preceded him no matter in what age
they lived. He knows that lamp by
which his feet may be guided is the
lamp of experience-the experience OF
loyal and successful men and women
gone before. Especially negleetful Of
opportunity are we sons of the Pine
Tree State II we forget the names
and achievements of those who.
out into the larger world and stood
staunchly for the best things in life
for clean and sound and happy living
in the communities in which they have
dwelt Surely Maine, like Wisdom, Is
justified of her children. But | have
been afraid that, in the rush and hur-
ry of these modern days, we were in
danger of forgetting the inspiring
achievements of our erandfathers
often the records of noble men and
women who have preceded US can
hearten us in moments of discourage
n,ent, and humble US when we are
cyerproud and rebuke us when we err
ia folly, and inspire us with high
ideals when we would be satisfied with
low standards of living and thinking.
L But the Goth century citizen must or
l,ourse do more than remember the
past. He must set his face toward the
morning and keep step with the up
ward progress OF the race" said
just now that our civic duties are inn
portant because our life is complex.
That life today is complex no one will
deny. Some of this completely Is

are problems so vast and intricate
that thinking men are fearful lest our
republic may not solve them Alright
But perhaps someone is saying:
What have we to do with these great
problems? They do not affect us. Let
no one of us so deceive himself. Does
1t not concern our hand if our heart
is weary? Can our foot be sure and
swift if our eye is dim? Anything that
touches the vitals of the body polite
is sure ultimately to be felt in its
every part. Let no man think he can
withdraw in selfishness and say: Go
to! These problems are none of mine"
In a democracy like ours, If it is a
real democracy, the court of last ap-
peal is the intelligent vote of free
people.
These words of Washington GLADDEN.
ought to be printed large and hung in
every school and college classroom
yes, in every home and church YES
try throughout our State: This coun-
try is afflicted by the bad citizenship
of good men. The refusal to take part
in the government of the town, the
city, the State, and the nation is
nothing other than a fragrant breach
of trust. Here, IL anywhere, is the CEN
trail obligation of social morality, and
the man who shirks 1t must be made
to feel that his defalcation exposes
him to the wrath of God and the scorn
of men,"
In closing Professor Mitchell spoke
a few words especially to the grad
uating class urging them as citizens
to be intellectually courageous. He re-
minded them that "The greatest bat
ties of civilization are not those that
have been fought amid the roar of
cannon, and the clash OF steel, and the
inspiring strains of martial music.
They have been those which the in
dividual man has fought out in his
own heart in silence and alone

diplomas were presented by Rev. Bri-
an c. Roberts. The program was
closed with the benediction by Rev.

Ralph Parker Plaisted of Bangor.

Postmaster Frederick w. Plaisted
received a message late Tuesday aft
ernoon telling of the death by drown
ing of his brother Judge Ralph Par

ton of Judge Plaisted's boyhood days
