Governor MiIliken
Prior to introducing the speaker
OF the evening Gov. Miliikcn touched
lightly upon the forming of the Com
Mu lity Efficiency Conference ana
what it has accomplished along Leg
islative lines in the past three years.
He said that the Conference was held
III this time OF the year with pur-
pose in view as Legislature WAS in
session and it was possible for the
i.elnber OF both houses to benefit by
the many things which We're offered
at the sessions. Now * the pinnacle,
If that opportunity and also the mo-
,-cnt of peril. What about after to-
night Is this mint of information.

If it shall just evaporat" and not have
crystaiiZed into something for the
bettcrment Of the community for the
kingdom Of God then it would have
been better not to have come. An
emotion for good not followed up by
action leaves the person worse than
how they were found.
The sound basis for Legislature has
been brought about by many big points
in The. program. In the records Of the
LEGISLATURE of 1915 and 19I. much has
been led by the forces of opinion from
the conference There are Isl men m

the rush there is a danger that. along
with the intention Of keeping down APP
preparations, THAI the Importance OF
these things may NOT pc realized. Some
Of these vital things may fail. such as
welfare Of children. toiling conditions,
health in the city and the country, ed

thought that each representative migh.
go HON, and let his people know thai

can pave the way for it.
Fred 3. Smith
This great. big, red-hearted man.
Fred =. Smith Of New York, was then
introduced by Governor Milliken. Nj.
Smith said he was not in quite as good
Il humor as he might he. He had seen
conservatism in Maine for the Ars,
time. He had heard the other speakers
telling Of how conservative Maine was
and now he had found it himself. On
a post IN the city he saw sign, telling
that he was going to speak tonight
the worlds greatest speaker, or some
thing like that. He took the poster OF
the post Why coniine it to the world:
The other planets may be inhabited.
Might as we'll tell the truth and include
them all. Why should the notice con-
fine itself to this world" He said that
he would make no apology for the ram
bling way in which he was speaking.
