RESOPENED
HERE TOMORROW
Chance to Do Shopping; Wash
ington's Birthday Events
Will Take Place

Tomorrow is Washington's birth
day.
This is the day on which we think
of hatchets, cherries. lies and other
things which were made famous by
the father of our country.
It is perhaps the first time in the
history of the city that stores will be
open for business on Washington,s
birthday from early morning until
late at night. Some weeks ago the
merchants bureau of the Board of
Trade he'd meeting in the board
rooms and after considerable discus
sion decided to celebrate Lincoln's
birthday by closing the business es-
adjustments. but inasmuch as Wash
ington's birthday came on Saturday
II was deemed advisable to remain
open on that day.
Many of the leading stores Of the
city have arranged for special bar
gains for tomorrow and those who
take advantage of the day to do their
shopping will more than be repaid
for their visit to the various stores.

In times past. 1t hardly seems posi-.

a holiday and find the shops open

three or four hours visiting the vari-
GUS shops and looking over the goods
displayed, which is one of the joys Of
shopping. and then drop in any of the
various theatres of the city and find
entertainment OF the highest order.

AN UNEXPECTED QUESTION

A party of four, Just returning
from the theater, called in at fash
ionable restaurant. The prim old
maid, who was the guest of the eve
ming, was charmed with everything,
especially the music.
While the waiter was standing by
the table, she asked him to find out
the title of the piece the orchestra
was playing. And the willing waiter
promised.
But other duties claimed him for a
time, and when he returned the lady
bad completely tqrgotten her re-
quest.
When he bent toward her, and soft
ly whispered something in her ear.
she recoiled in horror. Then, recov-
ering from the shock, she turned with
cold, relentless fury upon the hap
less man who waited.
How dare your sh ecried. "How
dare your?
And it took the terrified waiter
quite time to explain why he had
merely breathed the title of the piece
so softly-"What Can Do to Make
You Love Me?'-St. Augustine Rec

Paramount Issues of Today

The United States has come out OF
the world war stronger financially,
economically, socially, than any other
of the major nations. Yet even to the
United States there has been left q
heritage of acute problems pressing
relentlessly upon the public mind for
answer Never within the memory Of
two generations have the people Of
this country been so resolved to NEE.
current issues squarely, so deter.
mined to find solution for those prob
lens which are depressing them and
to bring about a better social and
economic condition. 1t is situation
in which the leaders of public thought
and action-business men thoughtful
women, men and women of influence
in every sphere and line of work
must assert their leadership. This is
no time to theorize. 1t is time to do
something.
The root OF this condition of the
public mind lies in the cost of living.
1t is this that has led to the estab-
lishment of that unfortunate process
sion in which wages for the individ-
ual labor, pushing up and up, have
been constantly and inevitably oct
stripped by the prices of the commod-
tiles which those wages must buy.
Unfortunate, this process is called,
because it does not accomplish and
never can accomplish any permanent
readjustment of the condition which
ii seeks to remedy. It's only possible
consequence can be an interruption
of the processes of production, which
must Individually cause, not an i'm

rroyement in, but an accumulation o.
tho i'll.
For what is it that really underIies
this public unrest? IL is not that shoes
now cost twelve dollars where the,
once cost six nor that foodstuffs have
doubled in price. This is already gen
, orally admitted. The public will
gladly pay these prices, provided thai
they can pay them and still have pro
portionately as much left, after the
necessities of life have been provid
cd, as they used to have. 1t is ques.
tion not of the cost Of living, but Of
the margin between the cost of livin5
ard the amount earned.
I'm a word, it is question O.,
thrift-thrift in production, which
will tend to increase individual earn
iDgs, and thrift in consumption, whicl
by prevention of useless destruction
O. goods will tend to increase tn,
general supply of goods and reduce
prices to the consumer says a state
ment, issued by Silas W. Davis, gov
ernment director.
And this applies not to any spe
csal group of class but to every man
woman and child in America. It an.
plies to the manufacturer and the ar
tlsan, to the housewife and the schoo
child Above all it applies to thos,
in positions of leadership, for it is tt
them that the country looks for ex

heavy fighting in October IN the

with the treacherous phossene poi
son gas and was sent to base hos
pital for recovery. The severity of
the poisoning was not apparent at
first but became so as the weeks
passed and his recovery progressed
so slowly. He was sent back to the

JUDICIARY
Hearings on Folsom and Smith Bills
for Registration of Voters

for Registration OF Voters
Wednesday afternoon the commit
tee on judiciary gave hearing OF
the Folsom and Smith bills providing
for the registration OF the legislative
agents. Senator Folsom Of Somerset
said he was moved to introduce his
bill by reason OF the activities Of the
lobby in the water power fight for
1917. He believed that the widest
publicity in these matters was for
the best interest of the State.
He had no quarrel with the legis!a>
tive agent, or nc mbcr Of the lobby,
as they were more generally called.
They were desirable, but the peopl.,
did not understand the making CT
laws. He doubted if so voters Of Ken
nebec county came into the. state
House during Il Legislative session.
and expressed the opinion that not
more than one in each 100 of the peo-
pie Of Maine had an idea of how laws
were made. When they heard that
there was a great lobby here for any
measure they had visions of fraud.
An Act of this kind would do much
to change this sentiment.
The act was patterned after the
Massachusetts law. He could see no
objection to Maine having such u
law.
The Smith bill differed from his in
that it required the registration of
any agents who visited members
elect before they came to Augusta.
Answering an interrogation by
Barnes Of Houlton Senator Folsom
said that he recognized there were
good Hobbies.
IF there is anything this bill in
tends to hit it is the man who comes
here without a client and tries hold
up game on any member of the Legis-
lature," said Senator Folsom.
Rep. Barnes-Your aiming to catch
a foxy game.
Senator Folsom-Yes; possibly.
No one appeared in opposition.

him about it: You wouldn't do a
business that didn't pay. would you:'
Those are the facts and I'd like to
see any man in this audience dispute
them
Agent Eaton Of the Cabot mill,
Brunswick. said that in talking with
people about these bills he found q
sentiment that out OF them would
come a solution of the present great
problem: that it would be had within
the next two years. Personally he felt,
ment of a great part of the people of
Maine, that no action should be taken
which would end private initiative in
the development of Maine. The de-
velopmert of Maine necessitated the
continuance of this. 1t must be made
worth while to private capital to de-
velop. He believed ahat future de-
velopments in Maine must have the
credit of the State behind them. This
would. in his Judgment. DC the means
employed in great railroad develop
ments of the future. Directors rep
recenting the state would Ice on the
boards of the mana cement OF these
companies.
1T is moro important to the devei
opment of the State of Maine" said
Mr.. Eaton, Ito have the policy which
is to be pursued in this connection
settled for all time. than it is to know
whether there is $4,000 or 100000
horsepower on any river
In his opinion it would be better to
have IL men than six on the COM
mission of investigation.
Rep. Baxter of Portland read a let
ter from Hiram w. Kicker of Pola- d
Spring. in which that gentleman ex-
pressed regret that he could not be
at the hearing, urged the passage Of
the bill of Mr. Baxter or one of q
similar nature as Of great importance
to the State. In conclusion he said
that he hoped such a commission
would be provided for and that the
Legislature would give it sufficient
funds to work with
Halbert p. Gardner Of Portland
opposed the bill as private citizen.
He said that in the first place any
money that went out of the pubic
! treasury must go into it from private
purses. He felt that the sums men
| toned for this work in the bills would
be but drop in the bucket of the
cost In his Judgment it would cost
! $500, 900 to do the work outlined. He
felt that this work could be best done
| Nv the. Public Utilities Commission
and was in favor Of IN Investigation

| far less expensive and much more
efficient. 1t was absurd to expect
men, such as would he required Tor
