Dexter
Fourteen Young men Called in
the Draft Leave Dexter
Tuesday Morning for Old
Town Then 60 to Camp
DevenS

Fourteen young men called in the
draft left Dexter Tuesday morning for
Old Town, where they will remain until
Wednesday morning. then going to
Camp Devens. This contingent is the
largest to leave here since the draft
went into operation and many were at
the station to see them off. The list
includes some of Dexter's best known
young men and is as follows Raymond
Lincoln, George Lincoln, Glen c. Aver.
Donald Upton, Jesse Cooley, Augustus
Leo, Harold NJ. Farrar, Carroll V.
Mace, William Stone, Elwood Bessey,
Napoleon LaPlant. Ralph Lee, Ralph
Nutter and Joseph Chayowsky.
: The employees of the postoffice where
Glen Aver has been employed as
clerk for come time, presented him
Monday with handsome wrist watch.
The Dexter company of the Third
Maine Infantry will hold its election

election. The new company now has
membership of IS and it is hoped that
the necessary five members may be OBJ
tanned before Friday evening. After the
election of officers the company will be

ferred at slight expense to the boat
as required.
1T estimated that the cost Of
suitable shed would be $4,000.
Whether less expensive arrange
ments could be made we are not in
formed, but this is a permanent in
stitution and some such provisions
ought to be made promptly. No pri-
vate concern with such facilities at
hand would think of continuing to
take such chances, either of enforced
failure of operation or inability to
avail itself of economies in purchas-
ing.
The company now has IS, 900 on
deposit as special reserve against
contingencies. This came from net
profits, including state stipend, in
1916. While the maintenance of such
reserve is commendable, there is not
the same pressing need for it that
would exist if the two municipalities
had no power to respond in an emer-
sency. This money may very prop
erly be devoted to the construction of
a coal plant.
Our inspection of the boat and its
approaches convince us that some
improvement in the latter should be
made at once. The directors admit
this, but take no steps to accomplish
it. Automobiles and teams can go
on and off only at the risk of passing
over distractions likely to cause
damage-and which have caused
damage in some instances.
hot
small expenditure of money on and
about the slips would promote the
comfort and safety of patrons and
their prosperity, and ultimately re-
suit in increased business more than
sufficient to repay the company.
There is nothing about present con-
ditions to attract Automobiles who

substantial inconvenience. aQd the

This much. we feel, ought to be
impressed upon all parties. What
the situation most needs is an ag-
gressive management and the hearty
cooperation of the two municipali-
ties in an effort to give good service
at reasonable rates. If friction, per-
sonal criticism and distrust of the
motives of individuals, and all acts
likely to promote discord are avoided
and united energy devoted to the
business, a marked improvement
ought to be realized"

ANGLO.SAXON DEMOCRACY

CONTINUED From First Pape)
Civil and foreign war long hinder
ed the development Of English democ-
racy. but as soon as the Tudors had
repressed the turbulent mobiles. in the
sixteenth century. the DEVELOPMENT
began afresh. In violation of the
settled English constitution. Henry
VII. and Will levied taxes and mas.
sed laws in devious ways, without
the consent of their people; but thew
at least raised the status of the peo-
pie by choosing counsellors from
them rather than from the mobiles
and they prepared the way for the
Renaissance. This restoration of the
lowed the lines of Roman ciyi,iza-
tlon. 1t never effectually Influenced
and humanized Germany, but it pro-
fonndly affected England, even be-
fore France. A wonderful period Of
prosperity and culture followed. and
1t was in the intoxication of this
wealth and luxury that tile Stuart
kings attempted to restore the autoc-
racy. The sequel is we'll known
One order after another of the people
rose against the autocrat, and a sue
cessful civil war inaugurated the frs:
Commonwealth of modern times. The
attempt of James II. to exercise auto
cratic power had similar result,
and England finally entered long be-
fore any other great power, upon the
stage Of constitutional monarchy.
1t is sometimes carelessly said that |
the English are by temperament
more disposed to evolution than to
revolution. The successive continen-
tai revolutions of 1889, 1880, and 1s4s
lit fire in England. The explana-
tion is rather that the English had
condcuted their revolutions long be.
fore, and they had nothing to resent !
comparable to the autocracy of Louis
XVI. Charles x, Francis Joseph, or
Frederick William w. They still led
in democratic development. The Eng
lish reformed parliament of 1882 went
beyond any in Europe; the extensions
of the franchise in later years kept
England ahead of all powers except
after QS70) France; and the recent
grant of the suffrage to women
makes England once more pioneer
nation, 1t has an historic title to
join with France and the United
States in representing democracy in
the modern world.

"Chalk Squad" Story
Is Denied by Girl
Witness for Raincoat Case De-
PENDANTS Says Records
Combat Testimony

In an effort to discredit the testi-
mony OF government witnesses in the
case OF the c. Kenyon Company and
six employees on trial in the Brook
lyn Federal Court before Judge Chat
field charged with delivering defective
raincoats 70 the Quartermaster's De-
partment, the defence yesterday called
Miss Lucy Carbone. who had charge
of the time cards at the factory.
The defence sought to prove by her
testimony that Miss Devine, Miss
Cook and Sam Berris-members of the
alleged chalk -erasing squad-did not
work overtime rubbing rejection marks
from defective garments. She pro
duced two cards showing the actual
quitting time Of the witnesses.
She explained that her records were
made from information given her by
Louis Friend. one of the defendants,
on the shipment of raincoats from her
department to other buildings.
Henry lIode. shipping clerk, also
a defendant, denied he had told a
government inspector to pass defec-
tive raincoats. He said that defective
raincoats We're never sent out as per
feet, but explained that $50 coats
which had been returned BY the in
spectors for minor defects were later
purchased by the government in u sep
arate transaction.
