Holm LYNCH-HIs BOOK.

On tho frat visit Of the Maine Press associa-
ton to Machias. in July 1880. reception was
held in Libby Hall and George w. Drisko. edi-
tor Of the Machias Union. since deceased. gave
the address of welcome. The writer. who was
resident of Maehias long before Mr.. Drisko.
| and had spoken pieces" on the stage OF Libby
Hall, remarked to fellow member that he
felt that this duty should have devolved on
him. When the Press association visited Ma
chias again, in July 1899, reception was held
in the Uniyersaiist church and the address Of
welcome was given by John F. Lynch, ESQ.,;
and as he was comparatively a new conner the
situation was explained to him and he was told
! that if the Press association made another visit
to Machias the writer would insist upon deiv-
ering the address Of welcome. 1t was a safe
, proposition as the excursions Of the associa-
ton are apparently things of the past mr..
Lynch accepted the situation gracefully and
did much to make the reception enjoyable to
the visitors, who unanimously voted him
good fellow. And now he has written and pub
lished a book, and we quote this notice of it
! from the October number eff Sprague's Journal
of Maine History:
| John F. Lynch of Machias, Me-, one of the
bright, able and best known lawyers in the
State, has recently written 1. book, issued this
year from the press of George D. Loring in
Portla I'd. He has entitled it 1.-The Advocate,
| An Autobiography and Series of Reminiscent
ces." 1t is unique in its arrangement as it
contains neither chapter nor section, but is one
continuous and delightful relation of his life
| as boy and man.
He begins it by giving evidence of what has
undoubtlessly been the experience OF. all writers
of high and low degree in all the ages and that
Is commonly known 'inspiration." His
hrst lines are these:
why write, or what am to write about,
do not know and yet am compelled by some
influence beyond my control to write some
! thing"
And then he humorously adds:
at cannot be that am diviaely moved for
am not good enough, and l feel sure that ] am
not bad enough to be entirely controlled. by
evil influences.
His varied experiences in his practice in the
Courts, his life generally in a Maine country
village: his occasional visits to the cities and
his casual peeps at city life; his mingng with
politics participant in the performances IF
one party and keen observer of the dongs
of another party; his views religious and
other vital subjects and his remembrances Of
many noted Maine men of the past and of the
present time are all told in quaint and an ex
ceedingly interesting manner, and running
i through its every page is vein of droll wit
AID humorous philosophy that is sure to cap
tivate the reader.
! Every Maine lawyer will enjoy 1eading,it for
by its perusa he will gain much knowledge,
some consol ation, and lot of amusement.

There is general agreement, outside
of the pro-German element, as to the
Kaiser's peace proposal, made public last
week. 1t is similar in tenor to the I'M
official propositions emenating from Ger
many for some time past, with view
to influencing public sentiment abroad,
and it is based on thefalse premises that
Germany did not begin the war and is
not responsible for the bloodshed that
has ensued. automatically it was a
mastery move of the Kaiser, for if the
Allies refuse to accept his terms it will
be claimed that they are responsible for
accept them the Kaiser will have gained
all that he hoped for when he began the
war, and militarism will be triumphant.
The conditions are thus clearly and truth
fully stated by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle:
Germany does not seek peace in the in
terests of humanity. She seeks it in the
interest of the Central League, in which
she is the dominant power and he driv-
ing force. A nation that refused in the
beginning to halt confagration that
clearly promised to set the world ablaze,
that desolated Belgium with ruthless
ness unparalleled in modern warfare,
that deliberately directed the killing of
nom combatants by those twin weapons
of savagery, the submarine and the Yep
pelin, cannot plausiblv pose as the spokes-
man of humanity. Germany wants now
peace made n Germany, peace based
upon the German conquest in Europe.
She has wanted such peace ever since
the defeat of her armies at the Marine
that she could not crush France.
The Allies of the Entente will not ac-
ecept the proposal. They will not negoti-
ate now. They have suffered too much
from German domination in the past,
they have spent too much in blood and
treasure in the great war to make an
agreement that would leave Belgium and
the Balkans without adequate guaran-
tees against aggression, that would ig-
more the claims of Russia, France and
Italy, that would re-establish Germany
in her old position as constant menace
to the peace of Europe. Not for such
peace are they recasting ministries and
girding up their loins to fresh effort

President Wilson did the right thing in
sending the Kaiser's peace proposal to
he neutral nations without note or COM
ment. 1t was obviously the only thing
to do. To have endorsed it would have
been a departure from the attitude of
neutrality this country has assumed,
would have given great offence to the
Allied powers, and been, to certain ex-
tent, condonement of the serious Of
fences against this country for which
Germany has made no reparation. While
the terms of settlement are not stated
in the Kaiser's note they have been un-
officially given out many times and are
those of conqueror to defeated foe.
To accede to them would be to abandon
all for which so many sacrifices have
been made.

A recently published book, "The Max
ing Of a Newspaper, by Don Seitz,
business manager of the New York
World, advises against the editorial col
umn in country newspapers. AS we have
not seen the book we do not know the
reasoning by which Mr.. Seitz reaches
this conclusion. but found the foregoing
statement in review. An exchange
advocates the use of editorials, but says
they should be confined exclusively to
local subjects. This is matter that
cannot be settled by hard and fast rule
for the country press in general, but is
one of environment and of individual
judgment.
