The Maine ! subjset

Men and women are meeting and
talking about their State Of Maine.
They could not select . more import
ant or interesting subject And while
the market value Of talk has been de-
pressed by overproduction It yet has
its uses and when It ieavens and In
spires people Of experience and ac-
ton, enthuses those who are init
nately connected with the forces Of
production. good must result there is
no other fruitage possible. And 30
we may he assured in advance that
these meetings now being held in
this city Of the State Chamber. Of
Commerce and Agricultural League
will prove productive Of something
worth while Moreover tho problems
are of a nature to concern us all and
all should desire to consider the sug-
gestions advanced respecting ways to
improve conditions and make right
use of splendid heritage.
Relative to our health problems
President Gulnac rightly recognizes
that rs per cent Of our population is
rural. that growth of cities at the ex-
lpense Of the rural community fore
tells disaster; that we should not ask
or expect people to live in rural con-
ditions which are not such as we
would wish to live in ourselves.
Young people are not seeking
homes where there re>meagre facil-
tiles for medical attendance and
schooling. 1t is a matter of concern
to the whole State and suggestions
are in order. There will be no hesi-
fancy in approval of the presidents
sentiment: mortgage the future and
then take our coats off and pay up
the mortgage" once the people get
convinced what is the right thing to
do. And 1t won't require much argu-
ment to convince US that there is
nothing to be proud of in the fact
that Maine has the best undeveloped
resources in the country.
With better roads, better rural ia
cilities. an opportunity for our farm
ers aided by warehouses and storage
plants to find a wider market an OPP
portunity for producers and distrib-
utors to get better acquainted and
better disposed on a basis Of fair
dealing and common knowledge,
energized by better health, Maine
has before her period of growth
SURPRISING any she has known. Her
resources will be developed.

But is ii strange? Columbus had no

history, where he could file his story.
1t is fortunate that Las Casas saw
it and rewrote parts Of it before it
disappeared. There were compare

not frame Article XXIII. In words

The reported death Of John Reed,
the communist publicist, Of typhus
fever in Moscow, suggests that he
was the victim of conditions to
which he helped contribute. OF all
the impotencies revealed by the COM
munistic attempt to rule Russia it's
failure to maintain healthful con-
ditions is most striking. Murder and
rapine. injustice and terrible tyranny,
which have accompanied the tragedy
are not the most depressing feature
of the enterprise. At a congress Of
physicians in Finland, an assemblage
without political incentive, the most
deplorable conditions regarding health
in Russia were exposed by Russian
physicians in attendance. Reed was a
brilliant fellow, educated, and seek
ing disturbance as others seek the
excitement Of sports. He was not Of
the parlor variety, however, and he
did not shrink from contact with the
conditions he worked to establish
and he has paid the penalty.

Tho erooms Stayed

American naval commanders have
always maintained a reputation for
intrepidity and nerve that has never
failed to thrill youthful students Of
American history, Perhaps it might
not be far out Of the way to guess
that some OF the exploits Of Decatur,
Farragut and Perry, not to mention
Paul Jones, have stood out in the
memories of grown men as the most
definite things they learned in school.
Another little story is added to
these greater ones by the recent visit
Of the American destroyer Broome to
the port of Kiel. Germany. 1t ap-
pears that the Germans know that
the United States is technically at
war with Germany, but it also
appears that they have forgotten
that the armistice conditions still
obtain. So, when Commander Austin
of the Broome sailed his ship into
the harbor of Kiel, he was quite sur
prised to be told that the ship must
depart Immediately or be fired upon.
He went ashore and told the German
admiral who had sent the warning
that his orders were to remain at Kiel
and remain at Kiel he would, even If
his ship were blown out of the water.
His language must have been inn
pressive, perhaps more impressive
than diplomatic. for although the
admiral reiterated his threat, the
Broome remained in the Harbor un-
molested.
