Shall Discharged Soldiers Walk Home?

Editor Kennebec Journal:
Where are we at now? Can any
one tell me how we wives and moth
ers are ever going to get our soldier
husbands who have gained an honor
able discharge home from the border?
Must we turn in our $3.50 wages and
the soldiers aid (Which just keeps us
alive) over to the railroad for fares?
What has become of those bereaved
citizens who watched our volunteers
leave the station as sense of duty?
Has the patriotic spirit died out so
soon just because there is nothing
doing" with Mexico? Those men on
the border today prefer war to the life
they are living, deprived Of even one
comfort. Who from the State of
Maine can go into the Texas climate
and live where Co. l is stationed with
hardly a drink of water and that full
of "tadpoles." Try it, some of you
grieved money-makers. and report.

is all there is to the game under the
primary law-if a man seeks public
honors he must take his chances with
the voters; no one can set him aside
but the voters.
The fashion Of distrusting everybody
ought to die out after time among
honest, praying citizens, in spite Of the
frantic endeavors of yellow journals
and of writer's who are so dishonest
themselves that they can see nothing
good in any man who can be attacked
without the probability Of libel suit.
And even then these haters Of human
ity use veiled lies and insinuating con-
structions to accomplish their purpose
of character blackening.
Let us remember that the good fell
low Of yesterday is not crook today
because he is a candidate or because
he has been asked to serve his party
(any party) as a part Of the campaign
organization. Some men are crooks in
any place from the church to the whis-
key counter, but the majority of men
are honest whether they be following
a plow or canvassing their fellow
townsmen for political complexion.

Why Do We So Readily Believe Evii7

why 10 we 90 Heaohy 6eileVo Evil
A gentleman somewhat perturbed
came into our office the other day to
demand in blunt terms the reason why
Uncle Ira" Hersey had been set
aside" by "the politicians" AS "the
politicians" hadn't taken US into their
confidence and as we were still ig-
norant enough to think that Uncle
Ira" could stay in the primary contest
as long as ever he wished. and that
politicians" were not in the habit of
setting Uncle Ira" aside anyway, we
couldn't relieve the feelings Of our
friend.
We don't know the details or the
reasons for the withdrawal Of Hon Ira
G. Hersey from the senatorial contest,
or for the course of Hon. Frank E.
Guernsey, but from this distance it
seems that If Uncle Ira" is set aside"
it will be by delegates in Fourth dis
trict convention ana not by the poll
ticians"
But the incident is illustrative Of the
unjust conceits Of which honest Chris
tian gentlemen sometimes become pos
sessed. They are fed so much Of
baseless rot about trusts" and "big
business" and high financiers" and.
political "bosses." that they become
suspicious Of everybody and are ready
to accuse every man who has anything
to do with party (any party) affairs of
being a crook, a malefactor and an un-
desirable citizen. By what manner a
politician" could &C about Setting
aside" a candidate for primary honors
is beyond our experience in politics,
but we have heard the same suggestion
from other sources, that Mr.. Hersey or
Mr.. Guernsey or Mr.. Somebody Else
anybody but the successful candidate
has been swindled by the politi-
Clans"
Who should be interested in pro-
noting such nonsense we do not know.
nor can we understand why every de.
feated candidate should be considered
a victim because he did not win. That

The New Auto Fire Truck and Bridge
State Crossing

AS a taxpayer interested in the best
good Of Augusta, l suggest that the
new auto fire truck be located at the
Atlantic hose house on the east side.
The problem of the Bridge and Win
throp street crossings, 1t seems to me,
presents obstacles on a par to the old
Rines hill problem, which was solved
only by big job of engineering well
done. The Bridge street crossing espe-
cially is the bad one for our fire de-
partment, as 1t makes every freight
that passes, or gets stalled there a
possible blockader for hurrying hose
teams at a time when moments are
precious. From the Atlantic house,
opposite the high school, Water street
and the business and entire residential
districts are always to be reached
quickly and with certainty. The pres
ent fine Cushnoc horses would cover
the high level parts, down State street
and the cut ut-stretching territories, in
an effective manner.
The protection for the two large in
stitutions on the east side, the Angus
ia General hospital and the Maine
State Insane asylum, would be best
provided for by this plan, as well as
the high school, part of which is wood
construction The large plants of the
Cushnoc Fibre Co and the Augusta
Lumber Co. would benefit, though, to
be sure, the difference in the running
time for an auto truck, from either the
Cushnoc or Atlantic houses to any Of
- RI o,>JCs lie
would be small-excepting the Bridge
street crossing, it isn't SO much of Il
problem 1t seems to me that this is
of vital Importance.

From Wilson's Peace Address: With
its (the war's) causes and objects we
are not concerned. The obscure foun-
tains from which it's stupendous food
has burst forth we are not interested
to search for or explore"
And in the next para graph: "One
observation on the causes Of the pres
ent war we are at liberty to make, and
to make it may throw some light for
ward upon the future as we'll as back
ward upon the past" Since we are
not concerned with it's causes and OBJ
jects. why make the one observation.
This dictional deviation on the part of
Woodrow recalls Bernard Shaw's re-
mark: Since history repeats itself
and the unexpected always happens,
how can we profit by experience?

STATE AUDITOR:

Can1paianina With the Movies.

The Democratic party will make ex-
tensive use Of the movies" in the COM
ing campaign. There will be pictures
of factories running at full blast; ships
leaving New York harbor loaded with
exports for Europe and South Amer
lea; President Wilson wearing a NOR
tar board hat and fanked by the OK
ford dictionary and Rogets Thesaurus,
will be seen typewriting notes to the
belligerents and billets doux to Car
rama: while . Ave minutes review
will be given of soldiers marching into
Mexico and marching back again.
The factory pictures will be taken IN
the munition and war order" dis
tricts; the shiploads of supplies to
Europe will be over so per cent NUM-
ton Of war, and those to South
America will take the place of goods
formerly coming from Europe which is
row cut off as a base Of supply be-
cause European factories are bending
their energies toward keeping the
armies up to the highest efficiency in
equipment
1t is highly probable that the Re-
rublicans will also use the movies as
a medium through which to educate
the people. Accounts of the Vera Cruz
hasco, the Columbus and Santa Isa-
bella massacres, and the treachery at
.,Carrizal have been given in suf-
'ficient detail to permit their depletion
'on the screen; pict tlres of shipments
Of firearms and ammunition to the
Carranza government might be shown;
the two broken down aeropanes which
accompanied the hunters of Villa, the
machine guns which insist on JAM
vming. and the dilapidated equipment
.of our troops on the Mexican border
will show what the Democrats have
Sdone toward preparedness during the
past three years.
In respect to industry the Republican
rarty may run film taken just before
the European war broke out This
would show idle factories, blovn-ou
blast furnaces. thes long bread line of
Idle men filing by the Fleischmann
tcart, each getting his half loaf and
moving on to the free soup house; the
stockholder opening his mail at the
breakfast table and reading that No
dividend would be declared this omar
ter on his stock; the docks of New
York, Boston, New Orleans, San
francisco and Portland heaped high
with goods made in foreign countries
coming into the American market un-
sder q near-free-trade tariff law. and
, .displacing goods made in America"
The eye Of the camera might then be
turned on an empty treasury, and a
corps Of Treasury accountants at wo1l,
devising schemes to fool the public as
to tho actual condition Of federal
finances. Following this would come
a picture OF the Democratic members
iof tho ways and means committee
framing legislation for additional tax
alton in order to meet the unparallele l
extravaganza Of their party. And the
entertainment might conclude with a
