Editors Letter Box
Lewiston
Editor Journal:

Editor journal.
Whether Lewiston is the hot bed
Of iniquity that certain local com
mentators say that it is or not, one
fact antecedent to and underlying 1t
admits Of no debate, and that is. that
the people of that locality are wholly
responsible for existing conditions.
The very class Of men that are de-
nouncing the Governor Of this state
for not intervening in local situation
have been large and responsible fac
tors in creating conditions which they
now deplore and their ready willing
ness to amend a bad situation at the
expense Of others is not without It's
elements Of irony.
The truth of the matter is. that
Lewiston through its organs of public
education and political direction has
sacrificed the ends of social and econ
omic existence to politics,-to means
of public action perverted to small
ends.
Without reopening wounds in pro-
cess of healing. yet guarding against
the leadership of men largely instru-
mental in producing them. 1t suffices
to say that if public attention and
political action had been honestly di-
rected to the local situation instead
Of to National or Exterior issues re-
mote from it, the policy for which the
reformers of Lewiston now stand for
would have prevailed.
Their failure to support Gov. Haines
is not to be excused by attacks on
Gov. Curtis, nor can the change of
heart experienced by them be expect
ed to have instant effect on His Ex-
cellency.
The windows of the reformers Of
Lewiston are now open to the State
House: in 1914 the shutters were on
and securely fastened against any adj
mission of light and leading from that
source. The issues in the election of
1914 were clear cut and unconfused to
the ordinary understanding especially
on the rum question. Gov. Haines by
record and confirming declarations
presented the matter in the clearest
light and the Democratic party by its
candidate for Governor joined issue by
taking Numerically opposite ground
and the Democratic candidate was
elected
Upon the assumption that the men
responsible for this result didn't know
the consequences of their acts, a mod
crate measure Of regret is permissible,
but on the assumption that they were
political experts. as before the cleo
ton they claimed to be, there may be
some reluctance to accept their pres
ent leadership upon proofs of former
folly, now repented Of in terms OF
blood and tears. Nothing happens
without cause.
For period of 10 years the people
of Lewiston and vicinity have been
fed on politics. morning. noon and
night. as if no other agency of popular
education were worth considering
The present situation is the logical
and necessary result of that unwise
system Of public leadership.

The following clipping from Mon
days lie Messenger is of interest to
many people in Maine and Massachu-
sets: "All the musicians of st. Ce-
elias Band have been notified to re-
turn their instruments with the least
possible delay to the director, Wilfrid
Sirois, who it seems, must send them
to house in Boston. This signifies
the end Of this musical organization
which has certainly made it's mark in
the musical world Of New England and
even of Canada during its IS years Of
existence. ST. Cecilia's Band was
unique in it's organization. and taken
into account the youthfulness of it's
members, there was not it's superior in
the matter of execution in the country.
Its founder, Rev FIR. Aymon, put his
heart and soul into its organization,
and his work was effectively continued
by Wilfrid Sirois. one Of the oldest of
the members. Illness. however. has
forced Mr.. Sirois to take long rest
The news Of the breaking up of st. Ce-
elias Band will be received by many
with regret"

You are the friendliest beyond COM

Familiar sparrow, whom the vulgar herd

Your eyes tail up, your tiny legs

A most persisting, roguish mendicant.
You skip about our crumbs soliciting.
Rich colored warblers, now, are fair to
see.
And lulling sounds their singing to the

But your low cheeping is more dear to

As on my window ledge you stand sans

We protest the selection Of Joe Tarr
for an exhibition talk between Boston
and San Francisco. On the face of
the scheme is stamped a purpose to
deceive. The people Of the country
will be given to understand that
man "a man from Maine) has stood
in Boston and made his voice heard
in San Francisco OVER WIRES, and,
of course. what one man has done can
be done again. But knowing Joe Tarr,
We have easily seen the depth of the
deception. They have called Joe Tarr
to Boston and he will, ostensibly, con-
verse over telephone line but as
matter of fact, he will not use the
wires at all. He doesn't need a wire
for that distance-unless the wind is
against him.
