Maine Press Convention.
(Bangor Commercially

The Maine Press association is
holding its annual meeting in this city
and is entertaining some noted
guests, men distinguished in the pub
fishing world and whose names are
held in honor all over the country
and in other countries as those of
men of accomplishment. Wherever
the English language is read the
names of Frank A. Munsey Cyrus H.
X. Curtis and Holman F. Day are
known and the most gratifying fea :
ture of their acceptances of invita- =
tions TO be the guests of the Maine
Press association at its annual meet
ing is found in the fact that they
were born in Maine and passed their
early days in this state. And since
they have gone from among us they
have retained their love for their ma
tive state and have often demons.r :
ted this.
The other day we pointed out that
Maine in proportion to its population
has furnished more distinguished
sons and daughters to other states
than any other state and not>a few of
these have been men and women
noted in literature and in journalism
There is a long roll of these sons and
daughters and Mr. Munsey. Mr.. Cur
tbs and Mr.. Day rank high in the list
And there are many others.
The Maine Press association com
prises publishers of daily and weekly
newspapers and printers. Perhaps II
is essentially the organization of the
weekly press. for the daily publish
ers have distinct association. but 1t
is representative of the publications
of Maine as a whole.
The state of Maine has always pos
sessed a strong weekly press. In
some states of thickly settled popu-
lation the day of the weekly has
passed but the Maine weeklies have
continued to serve their communl-
ties and they do their work well.
They have their own field. and they
cultivate it wisely making admirable
local papers and giving the home
news for home readers.
AS a rule il is not an especially lu-
crative field and few publishers of
rIajne weekly papers acquire any
large share of the worlds riches. The
weekly newspapers, in common with
the dailies have been hard hit in re-
cent years by the vastly Increased en-
pense of operation, and the difficulty
of obtaining competent help. But
they have kept the faith and con-
tinued their work of serving their
home communities.
The publishers of Maine weekiies
know that there is something in life
beyond riches. They realize that they
are important factors in their COM
munities and hold honored positions.
They understand that through their
pa pers they have prominent part in
moulding public opinion and it is to
their credit that they are careful and
thorough in their writings and stand
always for progress and for the best
interests Of their people.

Alaskan Paper

While experiments are being made
with substitutes for wood in the
manufacture of paper there is as
surance that the world will not be-
come destitute if those substitutes
are not developed for several years.
The government chief of the forest
service who has recently returned
from a months inspection of an
Alaskan forest said inspection pos
sibly including inspection of the fish
and game and scenic possibilities,
reports that the paper shortage
would be taken care of by new mills
in that country. He estimates that
the national forests in Alaska will
produce wood for a million and
half tons of paper. annually; that
sale of hundred million feet Of the
timber has been already made and a
sale of a billion and a half feet is
now being arranged.

Sowing the Seed

The news reports from New York
on Thursday included the stoning of
street cars in Brooklyn by strikers
and turning Wall street into sham
bles. In the awfulness of the latter
sight should not be lost of the fact
that stoning of the street cars in
Brooklyn apparently was inspired by
the same spirit as that in greater de-
gree which nerved the hand of the
bomb thrower. If the former is to
be permitted, if people dependent on
street car transportation for their
living are to be stoned and the as
-(s
sailants are to go UNPUBLISHED. Seed
is sown for reaping the whirlwind as
exemplified in the tragedy in the
metropolis. 49,.

The Sun on he Back of the Chair

IN. Y. SUM
One hundred and thirty three years
ago today, as the men of the Federal
Convention were putting their names
to the new Constitution of the United
States. DR.. Benjamin Franklin was
observed to be gazing at the Presi-
dents chair, on the back of which a
sun was blazoned. The Doctor re-
marked that painters had found it
difficult to distinguish rising from
setting sun.
Il have often and often" he said,
in the course of the session and the
vicissitudes of my hopes and fears as
to its issue, looked at that behind the
President without being able to tell
whether it was rising or setting But
now at length l have the happiness
TO know that it is a rising and not a
setting sun"
Like Ben. later admirers of the
Constitution which that day sprang
into life have had their hours of
doubt. Sometimes it has seemed
that a misguided or too ambitious
man might subvert some vital prin-
ciple of the great document over
which the fathers toiled that monen-
tous summer of 1857
And then something happens. like
the beams cast last Monday from the
Sunrise State, to bring the same
comfort and confidence that Franklin
discovered in the back of General
Washington's chair.
Good old Constitution, there is no
sunset for YOU

Opportunities in Internationaiism

Opportunities in Internationaiism
We want to keep out Of the quar-
rels of the world as far as it is wise
to do so, but IT would be extremely
unwise to attempt to insulate our
selves with self -sufficiency. For our
own good We must inform ourselves
respecting the currents Of thought
and development throughout the
world, now grown so small.
In educational circles recognition
of this has been manifested in the
Rhodes scholarships and in the ex-
change of instructors; international
banking is making increasing de-
mand on our young men. Notwith
standing this there are those &C
credited with vision who say we are
falling far short of our opportunities.
One. Everit B. Terhune, general
manager of the Boot and Shoe Re-
corder, complains Of 1.-The monument
tai hindsightedness" in the matter of
systematic and successful expansion
Of our sales of commodities to for
eign countries.
I'VE have. and for FIVE years have
had, the most marvellous opening for
the tremendous development of sales
to other countries that any nation
was ever in all commercial history
presented with" The remedy he sug-
gests is: I'VE should internationalize
our young men,"
He would send many young men
into the foreign fields to study them
first hand. get really familiar with
the racial traits of the people learn
their languages. grasp their business
methods, analyze their foibles and
find out their year-in- and out re-
quirements for commodities"
He thinks we have tried to get into
the export business in the middle
rather than at the beginning. and
lacking the knowledge and training
have "gummed up the whole busi-
ness" He finds that the giants Of
international trade have spread a
network Of potential personal units
throughout the commercial world.
He would have some of our young
men sent direct from school to Eu-
rope, South America, the Orient and
Africa, and sees in this but an ex-
tension of the parental policy of
sending the boy away from his home
town to school.
There is common sense in his sug-
gestions 1t is not difficult to I'M
derstand why there has been such
marked neglect in this. This coun-
try has afforded field for the best
minds and energetic endeavor, and
yet does. Nevertheless it is appar-
ent the full and complete cultivation
OF our own field is dependent in no
slight degree on our knowledge Of
and judicious intimacy with world
conditions.
