Mr.. Sweets Position

It is q matter Of knowledge to every
one who came into contact with Mr..
Sweet At Bangor during this discussion
Of the matter OF member Of the ma
tiona! committee that Mr. Sweet never
on any occasion said or intima,ed that
Mr.. Gannett had promised to withdraw.
Had Mr.. Cannot. promised to withdraw,
the whole matter would have been set
tied and the breach healed. Mr.. Sweet
and his friends know that if Mr.. Can
nett had promised TO withdraw he would
have done so. and the compromise can
didate whose selection was urged by
many leaders OF the party would have
been named.
Mr.. Sweet said over and over again
I withdrew in the interest Of har-
mony. and in so doing leaders Of the
Republican party assured me that thew
would endeavor to influence Mr.. Gam
nett also to withdraw in the interests
Of harmony, that this matter might no.
be injected into the State convention
and bring about the trouble that II has
brought about So far as I ind some NJ
those whom 1 expected to try to bring
this about never made any serious ef-
fort to do 50. Certainly on the basis Of
Mr.. Gannett's statement that it was
not until after my withdrawal that he
ever heard anything suggesting that he
might withdraw from the contest It
would appear that nothing OF import.
ance occurred. ! withdrew on the belief
and assurance that effort might be made
to this end. 1t was not done. Z.
Mr.. Sweet was particularly concerned
Friday to settle the fact that as be-
tween him and Mr.. Gannett there is no
question Of veracity.-Lewiston Journal.

Class Consciousness an Evil Thine

He who encourage Class con-
seriousness in anyway is doing an
unAmerican, an evil thing. It mat
ters not who are cultivating this
weed. which is foreign to our soil, it
should be uprooted. There should
be no mealy-mouthed criticism,
rather unhesitating condemnation.
especially at this time SO soon after
the war in which class distinctions
had no decent part so far as this
country was concerned.
In his address before the Women's
Federation at the University of
Maine President Alley had this to saw
on the subject.
Our history has been glorious be-
cause We have had an abiding faith
in democracy itself. We have had
differences Of opinion as to the de-
tails Of government but these differ
ences have not been due to class eff
Sort or class consciousness. In the
past men of all professions, classes.
and creeds. have been divided upon
the specific methods of administering
government IN the Republic All
have understood that wrongs or
Interpretations of government are
20 be righted by the agreement Of a
majority at the polls. There seem
to be indications of attempts in
America to arouse class conscious
ness and to bring about legislation
favorable to a single group of citi-
zens. History shows that such
movements have always resulted in
disaster. The honest and earnest
effort of all who have faith in
democracy itself should be used to
prevent class government in Amer
lea"
In closing he referred to the fact
that the great central powers had
for years built their structure on
materialism and failed largely be-
cause of this. whereas during the

indigestion that had made my life
miserable for the past two years. I
could not eat anything without suf-

would almost cut off my breath. My

National Hiahways

Relative to a measure now in the
hands Of a Senate committee and
known as the national highway act
. some criticism has arisen on the
ground that it proposes to take over
all highway work as a federal func-
ton, and that federal aid as now
operating will be jeopardized.
Friends Of the measure argue that
these objections are unfounded, and
Senator Townsend. author OF the
measure. declares it is not proposed
TO supersede but to improve the fed
eral aid plan by taking over as a
federal burden the construction and
maintenance Of such routes in each
state as may be designated as links
in national system.
Attention is called to the need Of
national highways in event Of a
railroad strike and to the fact that
in England the situation was saved
by the use Of motor cars. This might
not be possible for years to come in
this country but national system
would materially contribute to pre-
vent much Of the suffering that in
evitably would result from stoppage
Of rail transportation.
The measure provides that the
national roads in each state shall
comprise not less than two per cent
nor more than i've per cent Of the
total highway mileage actually used
as such in any state. To meet the
requirements in the State Of Maine
it is estimated that at least four
hundred miles should be built and
maintained by the Government as a
national highway, there being pro-
vision that where the Government
takes over highway which has been

Editorial Comment

Boston Transcript
The great refusal Of the Republic
can senator's to ratify without reser-
vations the treaty Of peace with
Germany has received the unani-
nous Endorsement Of the first Re-
publican State convention to be held
since the treaty was returned to the
President by the unanimous Repub-
lican vote of the Senate. At Bangor
yesterday the Maine Republicans put
into their platform a plank APPROX
ing the action of the Senate, which
may we'll become a model for the
Republican platforms of other states
and a basis at least for the national
platform to be adopted at the Chica-
go convention.
It is no longer a secret that the
treaty would have been ratified with
out reservations of any sort had it
not beer for the refusal of every
Republican in the Senate to vote for
the unconditional ratification Of the
unpurged treaty. To that refusal the
American people owe the preserva-
ton Of the policy of Washington. the
Doctrine OF Monroe. the nationalism
of Cleveland. and the Americanism
of Roosevelt. To that refusal the
world owes the preservation Of IAN
American character" in the field Of
foreign affairs. Upon that refusal
the refusal to ratify without Ameri-
canizing reservations the American
people will register their judgment
in the coming campaign. Maine Re-
publicans by the tone and terms OF
their platforms endorsement of the
Republican senators. have led the
way for the Republicans of other
states,

properly constructed by the State It
shall construct an equivalent mileage
elsewhere in the State. but shall not
maintain other than the national
highway.
For national purposes there should
be a highway from Kittery to Van
Buren, and from Calais by way OF
Bangor to the New Hampshire line.
With that accomplished and main
tanned by the Federal Government
Maine would be much better able to
meet the demands OF the highways
outside the national system. The
road plank in the platform adopted
by the Republican State convention
at Bangor endorses the national
system recommending its adoption
by Congress.
The Chief Engineer OF the State
Highway Department. Mr.. Sargent,
has found opportunity to attend sew
eral conferences at which this
measure has been discussed and ex-
presses confidence in the very great
advantages which he believes it
would afford. Il appears that those
states which already have the best
and largest highway construction
favor the measure, as it is realized
by them from out their experience
that much OF the federal aid now
being granted to the states is not
resulting in permanent construction.

An Autoeratie Republican

There are" said Miss Mary Stew
ar, at Bangor. "a feH. just few un-
degenerate Republicans" meaning
that rapidly dwindling minority OF
the or!giaa, stand patters who are
not keeping up with the times and
the trend Of events. Twas good
enough for father and it's good
enough for NE" they say and stick
10 It.
Il looks as if Governor Holcomb Of
Connecticut comes pretty near be-
longing to this class. as a result Of
his steady refusal 10 accede to the
Will Of his party in calling a special
session Of the Legislature 70 ratify
the suffrage amendment.
The Connecticut Republican State
convention which met on Wednes-
CAV by an almost unanimous vote
called upon him 10 issue the call SO
that il might be possible for Connec-
ticut 10 be the thir,y-sixth State TO
ratify. The governor refused, as he
has been refusing since the amend
rnent has been before the states for
approval.
The legislature has been ready at
any time to ratify Immediately. if
given the chance. and the Republi-
can sentiment of the entire state
has been moving increasingly
toward action TO make the Nutmeg
state one Of the thirty-six to ratify.
Even Senator Brandegee and ].
Henry Roraback, chairman Of the
State committee, two Of the most ir-
reconcilable suffrage opponents,
have capitulated, because. as Sena-
tor Brandegee said, Nothing can
stop the amendment now" Gov
ernor Holcomb's attitude. directly
opposed TO the wishes Of his party
and his state. is an unpleasant ex-
ample Of petty autocracy which is far
more out Of date and unbecoming in
q Republican than in a Democrat.
He claims as the reasons for his
refusal that no emergency exists
whereby under the Connecticut con-
stitution a special session is necessa-
ny, and that when the suffrage
amendment is finally ratified it viii
contravene the state constitution.
There is no iron-clad rule b. which
an emergency may be recognized
perhaps, but when the vote of some
nine millions Of United States citi-
zens hinges on the action Of one
state. and when 81 other states have
previously called emergency ses-
sions, it looks as IL somebody must
De on the wrong side OF the ques-
ton.
Governor Ho!conb's jealous care
to uphold the state constitution
does not extend to making it supe-
rior to. the Federal constitution,
which with its amendments is the
supreme law OF the land. and with
which he is Of course familiar. Ii
might be we'll, however. for some
body to call his attention to Article

rest his fears as to any breach Q!
