The World Going to School

Just why at this time, when the
avenues OF opportunity for the edu-
Gated reveal meagre promise, when
the pecuniary rewards for these
learned in law, medicine, or educa-
ton, for those loosely termed brain
workers." look petty in comparison
with what those possessing Drawn
and mechanical skill may command.
just why should the schools be
crowded and the number seeking
higher education surpass all records?
1t must mean that the old time
reverence paid to learning is not
dead: that from the homes Of those
who toll with their hands respect for
learning has not departed, and that
as never before they have the means
for giving their children advantages
Likewise t must be that love Of the
profession has not departed from the
teachers, otherwise they would be
seeking the emoluments of janitor-
ships.
If among the new recruits to learn
ing there abides a desire for that
which they are supposed to seek in
the schools, very good; if on the
other hand they are going to college
because 1t is thought to be the thing
to do, they perhaps would better be
elsewhere Yet even those may
prove susceptible to the inspiration.
for such it is. In the words of ia
nous instructor:
1T is not only the fact that after
graduation one is ready to earn a
living. but in this collegiate train
ing there come also the power to
think and a spiritual uplift which
are better than all else
One that has come under the in
huence Of such a spirit will not
thereby be incapacitated for any
walk of life that may be his; on the
contrary he will be SO trained that

Responses to the inquiry on poll

former Secretary of the Interior
Franklin K. Lane to some 900 farm
ers. bankers, industrial leaders, bust

their rating of the comparative i'm
portance of prominent political issues
in the following order:
First, dissatisfaction with the pres
ent administration.
Second, the high cost Of living.
Third, industrial relations.
Fourth, foreign relations.
Dissatisfaction with the Wilson
government is put first most en-
phatically. everywhere except in the
South which still takes it's politics
additionally and is in duty bound to
be satisfied with a Democratic adj
ministration.
The fact that, with this under
standable exception. wholly domes-
tic and intimate national problems
take precedence over foreign rela-
lions as Of paramount Importance to
voters. may shed some light on what
they think Of accepting the Wilson
league. The great and solemn ref
erendum Is likely to become greater
and more solemn than its advocate
dreamed and to result far otherwise
than he intended.

Estimates

Those who delight in estimates tell
US that at least thirty-two per cent
of the Maine women over twenty
one years of age voted in the State
election. that If this percentage
should be followed throughout the
country nearly nine million women
will participate n the November
election. Some think this percentage
will hold good notwithstanding it is
supposed many black women of the
South will be disfranchised along
with the black men.
Another estimate is that IS per
cent of the Maine women who voted,
voted the Republican ticket. If that
to exish among women north Of Ma
son and Dixon line there undoubted-
ly will be tremendous landslide.
While this is too much to expect
there seems to be no good reason to
the opinions of Maine women will
not be found among her sisters, liv-
ing In a similar environment. How
ever this may be. it is apparent that
the women of the country have 1t in
their power at the next election to
elect either a Democrat or a Repub-
lican.
In 1915 President Wilson had PIT
electoral votes as compared with 254
for the Republicans. If the same
percentage of Republican gain, as
shown in the Maine election. appears
in the November election through
out the country the Republicans
will carry 16 states which were
carried by Wilson in 1916: California,
with Is electoral votes, Idaho with 4,
Kansas with 10, Kentucky with 10,
Maryland with s. Missouri with IS,
Nebraska with s, Nevada with 8.
New Hampshire with 4. North Caro-
lima with IL. North Dakota with S,
Ohio with "a, Tennessee with IL,
Utah with 4, Washington with and
Wyoming with 3. Eve nthe most en-
thusiastic estimaters scarcely expect
this. but when is considered the mar
low margin by which Wilson carried
many of these states an expectation
of a sweeping Republican victory Is

They'll Have to Pull His ceat-taiIs
Aaain


Young Mr.. Roosevelt IF. D.. ma
verickC handed the present admin
tstration, Of which he has been, on
his own admission, an important
part, a pretty hard wallop in his re-
cent speech at Albany. when he laid
down his own program for reducing
the cost Of living. Reading the six
specific proposals which he made,
one can only infer. that the things
therein suggested should have been
done but that they have not been
done. Who should have done them?
The government, Of course. But the
government has not, therefore. away
with the government not later than
March 4 next, and when Mr.. Cox and
Mr. Roosevelt get into office. they
propose, so Mr.. Roosevelt says, ito
take immediate action" along the
following lines, to wit:
Increase food production by open
ing up at once and on a larger scale
millions of acres Of land now unpro-
ductiye.
Make farm life more attractive.
and direct an intensive campaign to
provide better living conditions in
the country districts.
Improve transportation facilities
in order that the product of the
farms may be more quickly and more
cheaply brought to the consumer.
eliminate many of the unneces-
sary hands through which articles
pass between the man who produces
and the man who consumes the arti-
cles.
EChange the present ineffective
laws regarding prof1teering so that
the public may be assured that sell
fish individuals will not line their
pockets out of undue profits made
from the necessities of life.
Provide such regulations of CON-
modities like coal that the average
citizen may be assured that the sup
ply will be adequate and the price
reasonable"
1t sounds like the millennium, but
something more than sound is neces-
sary to bring such things to pass as
are here enumerated. For instance.
how are Messrs. Cox and Roosevelt
going to -irrigate all the arid por-
tions of the United States and drain
all the swamps, not to mention blast
ing all the rocks of New England
pastures at once? CFor Roosevelt
promised New England Democrats a
better share of the spoils when he
gets into Office than they have been
getting from Wilson,
What is to be the nature of the
intensive campaign" to make farm
life more attractive? How are Cox
and Roosevelt going about improv-
ing transportation facilities? If they
have known the secret of how to do
it, all along. why have they been
holding out on the ex- and belabored
railroad administration:
What Is the matter with the profit
eering laws? Didn't Mitchell Palmer
give them his o. K? And isn't this
same Palmer on the job, getting
after the coal men? He was official
~ so proclaimed some weeks ago.
Evidently Mr.. Roosevelt sees that
something is the matter with the way
things are run. But how tactless to
be admitting it all over the land.

The serious situation that confront
ed the manufacturing and agricultural
interests throughout Maine some
weeks ago on account of the shortage
of cars has been somewhat relieved,
says the Express. Cars for ship
ments have been received in small
increasing numbers and as a result
there has been much forwarding of
Maine products to the markets. The
situation at present is by no means
satisfactory and it will require a con-
siderable time to secure needed cars.
The freight business on all the roads
having terminals here is reported ex-
cellent and every day large tonnages
are shipped out of the State. The
shipment of potatoes is still restrict
ed as producers and dealers are re-
ported to be holding their stocks.
The many cars generally used in the
potato service are therefore available
for use in other lines
There have been stories of crow
conventions and some have taken place

crows gathered on the treetops in the

ter street hill top and at times oircling
over Sagadahock block. These were

er's attention being attracted to the
unusual spectacle of five eagles gath
cred over the center OF Bath. These
were Joined by other eagles and still
others until some IS were counted
circling far up in the heavens
The truth of this unusually remark
able happening is vouched for by
owen J. Ledyard. Frank II Thompson,
Edward K. Morse. Henry N. Hartleb
John Perkins and other citizens who
noticed the aerial bird convention
from different localities. Just what so
many eagles were together for can
only be conjectured. They might
have gathered to make raid on ducks
in Merrymeeting bay. The entire
convention scared gradually higher
and higher until they finally spiralled
in the zenith out of sight.
One of the observers was a former
game warden who said that he had
never before seen so many eagles to-
gether in the sky. One sportsman
said that he had been reading in
sporting paper lately of the gradual
extinction going on among American
eagles and this Bath man wished that
the writer of that article could have
seen these birds on Monday after
noon and if he had, he would have
changed his views
