"Peters Speech In the Penrose Party
Convention

Mr.. Peters apparently has little con-
fidence in his long speech making hit
before The People, or being heard or
read by anybody; for though he fur
nished advanced copies to a democrat
ic paper in Bangor four days ago and
to the Hale Portland organs over
twelve hours ahead of delivery-he
failed favorably to respond to our re-
quest for similar treatment-an indi-
cation, we reiterate, that he does not
desire full publicity. And after read
ing his speech we see why the Cham
pion of Universal Straddle prefers to
keep away from the dissecting table
as long as possible. But he shall have
our attention just as faithfully as
though his anxiety for Publicity was
pronounced. The Folks are on his
trail.-Lewiston Journal.
We hold no brief for Mr.. Peters, but
would suggest that in the rush of get
ting ready for a great State conven-
ton, some of the smaller papers were
overlooked until rather late-particu-
larly where it was feared they might
vent their boiling spleen and violate

matter be not published or commented

Are You a Life Saver7

The Anti-Tuperculosis League of
Augusta is in need of FUNDS. 1t is
doing a great work. VINO shall esti-
mate the value of human life? Who
shall attempt to credit the advice and
medical attendance that have driven
the merciless wolf from single little
hcne? And who shall measure the
gratitude of friends who were help
less7
Oh! yes; you gave one dollar or sew
eral dollars last year, but this Is en-
other year. You probably gave one
dollar or several to the moving pic
ture companies or other pleasures, last
year. but that is no indication that
you intend to deny yourself the same
pleasures this year.
Last year you perhaps saved hui
man life and brought great joy to a
household. Again you may have laid
the foundation of information that will
save many nves-isn't it worth some
thing to hope that you did? Isn't 1t
one of your greatest pleasures to know
that you actually gave Of your serv-
ices to bringing back health to an un-
fortunate husband and father, or roses
to the cheeks of beautiful girl?
This is a great and noble work. 1t
is now known that the great white
plague is durable. What is still more
important, it is now known that thou
sands have died needlessly who ought
never to have had tuberculosis, and
would not, had the simplest precau-
tons been known-sunlight and pure
air.
As we remarked at the opening, the
Anti-Tuberculosis League of Augusta
is in need of funds. Two thousand dol
lars should be contributed to carry on
this noble work. You cannot give OF
your time in the work as the physi-
clans do, but you can set aside part,
at least, of one day in which you can
pretend you are attending an anti
tuberculosis chopping bee and giving
your time-then send the pay for that
part Of a day to Treasurer Dudley.
You Will find the statement of the
finance committee on another page.

Rural School Problems.
fNew ENGLAND Homestead. D

NNeW EnSldnu fiOHleSledu.t
There is much food for thought in
the annual report of Payson Smith,
Maine superintendent of public
schools. Emphasis is placed upon the
growing Importance of maintaining
good rural schools. OF a total enroll
ment in the common schools in the
State of $4,000, 1868, or more than
one third are registered in country
schools, and $4,000 in village schools.
Mr.. Smith again points out that one
of The strong factors leading country
people cityward is the desire of par
ents to give children adequate school
ing facilities. He bears down hard on
the importance of the rural teacher.
declaring that she has a far greater
responsibility than the teacher in the
city. There are a lot of school COM
mittees in New England that ought
to read and ponder Mr.. Smiths state
ments concerning the demoralizing
effect of the tendency to employ teach
ers for a single term. That policy is
disastrous to the progress of pupils
and makes difficult the successful is
sue of any plan that contemplates
more careful system and organization.
Let the teaching contracts be for a
school year ending the first of July.

Editorial Comment
Old Man PiHle.
Hartford Courant.)

Mr.. Bryan is about the shammiest
From an estimated expenditure of
1854, $50 as the annual cost of the
Washington department of state he
managed to cut off $40, thereby MAX
ing the estimate s354,060 for the year,
and thereupon he went before the
committee on appropriations with this
remark: Il was determined that there
would he one department that would
be run on less than it was before, If
/ could bring it about He explained
to the committee how he had raised
the $500 clerkships to $1,000 each, and
then cut off one of these new clerk
ships; and then had cut bit off
some rent, and another bit off some
new furniture, and thus finally reach
ed his met reduction of S120." II do
not mean to say he added in the
large Chautauquan way, that there
are not increases / would like to have
seen made, but l thought we could get
along without those increases and
that it would give you gentlemen the
pleasure of seeing an estimate that
was reduction"
This is more nearly straight piece
of piffie than one often finds in Sc
rious business. There is no denying
that 1920 is "a reduction" and so also
would two-cent postage stamp be
reduction; but there are few minds
50 curiously constituted as to think a
saving of 1920 on a bill amounting to
more than a third of million an
nually was anything to brag about.
1t is no wonder that our foreign af-
fairs are all at skies and sevens, even
IL Mr.. Bryan often has nothing more
TO do with them than to sign his
name.
The committee straightaway knocked
all the wind out of Mr.. Bryan's infan-
tile self-complaceney by cutting $500
off his estimate. This was not much,
it is true, but it was more like a real
effort to reduce our extravagant pub
lie expenditures than the picayune
trife about which Mr.. Bryan twaddled.

Last Ditch for Protected Crime.

Following several fatal fights by
gangsters intent on revenging 'squeals,
it is now declared by the detectives
that they have discovered a wide
spread plot to kill or drive out OF the
country all the witnesses who may
hurt the court chances of Becker, the
police lieutenant who is soon to be
tried again for the Rosenthal Staying.
The life of anyone who witnessed the
shooting down of the gambler who
defied the system" is now in grave
jeopardy, it is asserted, if there is any
chance of his being called by the
public prosecutor to give evidence in
further court proceedings. Unless the
police are reused to crush this bold
defiance of law and order by the muir
derous hosts of desperate gangsters,
it is predicted that one mysterious
murder after another will clear the
city of every citizen who dares to offer
testimony against the man once con-
victed of inspiring the four gunner
who did the bidding of the lords of
the underworld"
The above is specimen of pub
licity' stuff being sent out from New
York. 1t is supposed to attract at
tention to the city and to be worth
something to business" Is 1t any
wonder that New York grows wicked
every day, when she makes her bid
for notice on notoriety and the attrac-
lions of adventure and lust and crime?
Undoubtedly much of the above
quoted is true but we would suggest
to our publicity" friend that the fate
of the four gunner is a somewhat
solemn warning to the eowardly thugs
who are making boasts about what
they propose to do; and that those
other thugs who have played the game
from the police department are awak-
ening to the fact that the game is
played out.
Every crusade, even by "wild-eyed re-
formers" and "ramrodders" has its
worth to humanity and means prog
ress. But crusade by a sane-minded
brave man like District Attorney
Whitney, is progress itself. He went
about cleaning out the cutthroats
among the peoples defenders" as we'll
as in the dives and hell's recruiting
stations. He has sent terror into the
hearts of the dastardly DULLES and
back-stabbers In both police depart
ment and among police-protected muir
derers, thieves and white slave PAN
ders.
New Yorks publicity" prophets of
gore may go on laying out bloody
scenery but we believe they'll have
much difficulty in finding actors. The
term gunner" has an entirely new
significance after the episode at Sing
Sing, at o'clock, Monday morning.
The Becker backers,-t have some
thing to give consideration before they
slip too far into the limelight as a
part of the life that may be proved
against him.

use of liquor should rest with the
family physician rather than the
family newspaper, and declines hence
forth to share this responsibility.

against the liquor traffic, thing al
most unheard of a few years ago. Did

Why Is a Home?


That outspoken lecturer Mrs. Char
lotte Perkins Gilman, has most en-
gaging way Of presenting startling
notions. After reading her thoughts
upon Home" one has almost sneak
ing suspicion that she Is right when
she asserts:
The home of today. with its small
group Of belated trades, is perma-
nent check upon the growth OF hu-
manity.
1t is not the abolition OF the home
that Mrs. Gilman has in mind. Far
from it. Rather would she free the
home from the evil ways upon whicn
il has fallen and restore 1t to its Ola
usefulness. Every child has right
to grass and trees and flowers she
declares. Every family should nave
a separate home, is her foundation
principle.
But should we cook, make dresses,
have our clothes washed in our homes?
Or should these trades be turned over
to trained specialists who know now
To carry them on economically anu
hygienically? THE home as a place
of industry is crippled, abortive. prim-
tive. unsatisfactory" is Mrs. Gilman
view. one-half of humanity spenas
its time waiting on the other nail
our present way of living Is twice
as expensive as it should be.
The monthly bills have just come
in to support Mrs. Gilnan's economies
So we might as well concede tna' q
home, as at present operated Is an
expensive luxury. But it is pleas
ant one, and from long experlehoe
with hotel food and hat check boys
and strong arm laundries we are IN
clIned to think that home industries
are not nearly as inefficient as they
might be.

Everyone knows of the value Of oil
for smoothing the great storm waves,
which has been tested again and
again and they will doubtless be as
interested in hearing that recent tests
made with a lifeboat on the English
coast in a bad surf has demonstrated
that an oil bag used in much the
same manner as for the waves will
subdue the surf to a wonderful ex-
tent. 1t is probable that the entire
service will soon be equipped with
the device. which consists of bag,
holding from one-half to a gallon of
Oil in can, according to the size
OF the boat, the can being infinitely
perforated and the bag plugged with
oakum to allow the oil to be gradual
