suffraee's Big Day.

Never in the history of woman suf-
frage in this country has there been
planned celebration to compare with
the demonstration which is to take
place all over the country today, Sat
urday, May q The demonstration is
designed to show to Congress and to
the states that woman suffrage is a
vital question and one that can no
longer be ignored. Boston is to have
a great parade, the first in its history.
Other cities are to celebrate with
parades and outdoor meetings. Maine
suffragists have arranged celebra-
ton in Portland which will attract
much attention. An open-air meeting
will be held in Congress Square at five
o'clock. A band will be in attendance
and the exercises will begin by the
singing of the Battle Hymn of the Re-
public by the audience. DIR. Clifford
Snowden will give a suffrage address
from an automobile, decorated in yell
low, the suffrage color. A resolution
asking Congress to take action on the
suffrage question will be presented and
the meeting will close with a suffrage
hymn sung to the tune of America"

"Let Us Have Peace"

The Independent, the weekly mag
azine edited by DR.. Hamilton Holt,
New York, takes the same ground as
that assumed from the start by the
Kennebec Journal-that this country
does not want war; that it IS not un-
mindful Of its own power and of the
tmpetuosity and ambitions in a people
excited by the casualties and the call
of blood and anguish away from the
pursuits of peace; that in its confidence
of strength and in it's knowledge of the
American good will toward all men it
can afford to be generous and to
make concessions; that the great Mon
roe doctrine, strengthened and rede-
clared by Polk and Seward and Cleye-
land and Roosevelt, bids us stand in
the Western Hemisphere unquestioned
before the world as the father of re-
pubics"; that the Monroe doctrine
today becomes-if we act wisely and
with the utmost tolerance-a Pan
American policy.
These considerations based our edi-
torial of Monday, April 27. On Thurs
day We received a proof sheet from
The Independent, giving its editorial
position upon the same grounds. to
appear this week. It follows:
The tender by the three great re-
publics of South America-the A r C
powers-of their good Offices for the

Mexico and the United States is an

Editorial Comment
The Church Habit.


We have mostly thought OF the
pie in church, but DIR Conrad of Bos-
ton has discovered other things which
it does which should be noted, and
some of them will make good themes
for the preacher. and are full of in
spiration for the laity. The church
habit will not only make the church
prosperous. it will present to the mind
the highest ideals of life. Will stimu-
late the highest thinking. Will en-
courage the bravest doing. Will create
in the soul a passion for service. VIII
give a new sense of personal worth.
Will intensity the affections and re-
enforce the will. Will conduct the
soul direct to the sources of power
Will produce an athletic, virile char
acter. Will spiritualize and glorify
every fact Of life" There are good
many other things it does, and all OF
them good and making the church well
worth while. There is new church
in the world today, with new motive
and a new method. True as 1t may
have been that the church of olden
time gave us the habit Of thinking or
the other world, the church Of TODAY
encourages the habit of thinking In
this lifes present. About everything
good can be traced back to the church
as its source, and with the habit Of
Improvement fixed in the mind. the
habit Of church attendance becomes a
necessity.

ass the people of Mexico. And it may
well be the first practical step toward
the development of the new, the great
er Monroe doctrine. From the cooper
alton Of the three South American re-
publics with the United States in
dealing with Mexico should spring a
new and invaluable solidarity within
the Western Hemisphere. In an edito-
rial in The Independent of November
20 we said, 1.-THE Monroe Doctrine. -.
must become a Pan-American policy,
taken part in by the great powers of
the two Americas in spirit of mutual
friendship and unselfish cooperation. 1t
must be directed not only, as it was
when it was first enunciated, against
aggression from beyond the seas, but
against aggression from within the
Western Hemisphere itself. The great
nations of North and South America
must not only pledge to each other
mutual aid in resisting any project
for conquest but mutual remuneration
of any desire for conqueet them
selves" Toward such a contamination
as this the offer of mediation offers a
hopeful beginning. The President and
his advisers should have this greater
achievement steadily in mind while
striving to bring about the more i'm
mediate result of the avoidance of
war.
We have been upon the very edge
of war. Hands have been stretched
forth to pluck us back. Grasping the
proffered hands in a spirit of I'M
grudging sincerity and hearty self
forgetfulness, we shall have peace. But
it must be no empty peace, no peace
OF mere passive abstention from arm
ed conflict 1t must be a militant
peace, sending us forth in a spirit of
broad humanity to help cur neighbors,
to knit the nations of the New World
together in a new league of interna-
tional friendship, to carry the stand
ard of human rights, of constitutional
government and of international soil
darity onward into the new day.

Let's BEGIN Anew.

The Journal has already voiced its
hope that Cony High and Gardiner
High would get together" in school
sports. Refusal of full grown men to
meet each other in friendly contests
and accept the fortunes of war and
the blunders of officials, in a manly
way, savors of primary school charac-
teristics. The cultivation CT tolerance
of an opponents views and claims is
one of the great benefits of school
sports. The training to meet grief
with a smile is another. But the prop
agation of 4 spirit to shout fraud
every time a school or man meets
defeat, is deplorable. Every clear
headed man of a community should
advise the boys of the schools against
fostering such unsportsmanlike and
easily built up tendencies.
The people of Augusta, Gardiner and
Hallowel1 desire to see these usually
very evenly matched school teams
meet in sportsmanlike, friendly rival
~ A few may encourage dtssension
and jealousy, but that should be
overcome by the wish of the great ma
jority.
We agree 9Th "Cony Alumni" whose
communication was published Friday
morning. that the best drawing card
in our summer sports is the game be-
tween Cony High and Gardiner High.
The boys themselves and their sup
porters in both towns should recognize
the necessity for cultivating the most
friendly spirit.
Now let us talk it over In a manly,
friendly way, each frank to admit his
own weaknesses and willingness to
forgive and be forgiven, and begin
anew under the inspiration of g more
tolerant spirit and a determination to
make the best of bad situations and
to enjoy the good enes. For the worst
of our opponents would be star in
our own camp.

Land where people are possessed
With the spirit of unrest,
Where grim revolution stalks
In the byways and the walks
OF the busy marts of trade,
Openly and unafraid.
Where when quarrels seem to cease
Dwells brief unstable peace.
This should not continue so,
Thou erratic Mexico
Nature in her lavish mood
Gave thee of her choicest good.
Balmy cline, and fertile soil,
Yielding richly to the toll
OF the earnest husbandman,
Delving since thy years began.
And thy earth holds wealth untold.
Copper, silver, gems and gold,
Yet you are your greatest foe,
Hapless, tickle Mexico.
Men or nations can't endure.
On a basis insecure.
Greed of power, greed of place.
Is the curse of any race.
Morbid rivalry has throes
Like the seething volcanoes,
Seeming dormant, yet the same
Bursting forth in flood of flame.
Drop thy shackle, strike the blow,
Be a nation Mexico.
Purge the land from gruesome blight,
Make thy future rosy. bright.

Guard with jealous care thy life.

And dig me up

Has left the skies
Sit there and fish
