How to Abolish Child. Slavery.

One million boys and girls under IA
years Of age, including $4,000 little
girls, many of them under 10 years Of
age, are now in the tolls Of child
labor slave drivers of industry in Am
erica. The fact that state and nation
al governments still permit such an
outrageous state of affairs is but one of
the illustrations Of the grip of greed
in politics and bushes alike. AS long
as the people can be hoodwinked into
electing to power parties that perpetu-
ate national partnership with the liquor
trust, so long will the mockery of child
slavery in industry continue. The only
remedy is the union Of all voters who
place the interests Of childhood and the
home above those of graft and greed,
in concentrated political movement to
enthrone an administration which
champions and will establish it's prin-
ciples in our state and national gov
ernments.

The BANGOR Middle,

Bangor evidently stands in need Of a
house cleaning. The special commit
tee which has been investigating the
charges of grating brought against
some city officials has made a partial
report which shows that the city has
been robbed and that petty grating
has been generally engaged in. What
has happened in Bangor Is due wholly
to the Indifference Of the great body
Of the tax payers as to the kind of men
who are selected to run their affairs.
comparatively small group of men
have been left to manage the city as
best suited themselves and their main
interest has been to fatten their pocket
books at the expense Of their fellow
citizens. Fortunately Bangor has a
mayor who is possessed of enough pub
lie spirit and determination to go to
the bottom of the matter and drag into
the bright light Of day all Of the dis
honest and questionable transactions
which have been going on.-Portland
Press.
A storm clears the atmosphere.
Bangor will be better after than before,
and perhaps some day she will fully
awaken to the outgrowths Of a Ban

"Nothing to Worry About"

II more Of us entertained the phil
osophy that is found in the trenches
when men are awaiting their turn to
kill or to die, we could enjoy, much
better, the everyday round Of civil life.
In March the Boston Post published the
following:
Here is the French soldiers philoso-
ply Of war. 1t is one Of the litanies
which the men at the front recite over
and over to themselves and in chorus.
1t is characteristic of the many express
sions of soldier philosophy which have
been written by the men in the SER
vice and taken up by the whole army.
The following copy of the litany was
sent to friend in Cambridge by Henri
Raveau, a Paris business man now at
the front. NJ. Raveau says the htany
is very popular in the trenches.
You have two alternatives: Either
you are modified or you are not. II
not. you have nothing to worry about
If you are you have two alternA-
tives: Either you are in camp or at the
front. If you are in camp, you have
nothing to worry about.
alternatives: Either you are in reserve,
or you are on the fighting line. II you
are in reserve, you have nothing to
worry about.
IF you are on the fighting line, you
have two alternatives: Either you
scrap or you don't. If you don't you
have nothing to worry about.
'1f you do you have two alternatives:
Either you get hurt or you don't. If
you don't you have nothing to worry
about.
III you do you have two alternatives:
Either you get slightly hurt or you
get badly hurt. If slightly, you have
nothing to worry about.
IF badly, you have two alternatives:
Either you recover or you don't. If you
recover, you have nothing to worry
about. If you don't and have followed
my advice clear through, you have
done with worry forever"
