The Bible, mighty in itself, said Doc
Tor Moulton, had passed through the
hands of commentators who had no

which had little or no likeness to the

commentators had written into that

Attell Not Yet
Ready to Tell All

New York, Sept. 2s.--Abe Attell,
former featherweight champion, who
has been named as a ring leader in
the baseball gambling scandal said
here tonight that he had retained a
lawyer to take care Of his interests
and that in a day or two he would
make a statement that would shoot
the lid sky-high."
You can say" he said. that the
story placing the responsibility upon
me for passing the 100000 to the
White Sox is lie. 1t looks to me
that Rothstein is behind the stories
ard am surprised at this because I
have been a good friend Of Rothstein.
He is simply trying to pass the
buck to me. 1t won't 20.
You can see that some one is try
ing to make it apparent that I was
responsible for tina idea Well, /

sible for it. l will tell You what I
know about it at the proper time.
Rothstein. l know, is trying to white
wash himself but he can't pass the

far as am concerned. is all bunk.

he said.
He went briefly into the early his
tory of prohibition and accounted
most interesting the fact that the
first prohibitory organization, the
Washington society, formed for the
agitation of this question, was
founded by six men who were habit
ual addicts to drink. He told how
they met and decided to form such a
society with pledges which they
they signed. had dues and worked to
increase their membership. and form
this beginning grew great influence
for temperance agitation.
To show the way in which public
opinion changes from time to time
he recited points from a contract be-
tween George Washington and his
gardener which stipulated that the
gardener should have sums of
money at stated times 10 be used for
drink.
Referring to remark of Mrs.
LeaNitt which quoted Mr.. Beedy as
saying that he would rather stay at
home than go to Congress on any
compromise platform, he said he
had made it because Of certain in
fuences in the first district which
had been working for the election of
liberal" congressman. and that he
did not believe it possible to make
any compromises. IF the moral
sense Of the couptpv stands far an,
thing" he said. 1T stands for one
half of one per cent and we might
as we'll keep it where it is. Over
and above all forms and policies of
government, the life and perpetuity
of a nation depend upon the moral
fibre and virility of its people 1t
doesn't matter so much how we
word the statutes as the moral pur-
pose behind them. The law will
take care OF itself when the men and
women in their daily life are taking
proper care of themselves.
We need in jublic life men whose
vision is straight and clean; we need
to come back the the Fundamental
teachingS of our mothers who wore
the white ribbon. My prayer for
America, If I had one, would be not
that she might be rich or powerful
or first in commerce, but that she
might be able to answer: Yes, here
am l., nation of clean men ana

The consideration which the grand
jury gave to this case should be
greatly appreciated by the general
public The Hon. Charles A. McDon-
aid, chief justice. and the foreman of
the grand jury, Harry Brigham, and
his associates, who So diligently
strove to save and make Americas
great game the clean sport which it
is, are to be commended in no uncer-
tain terms by all sport followers. in
spite of what has happened today.
And, Thank Cod, it did happen.
Forty four years of baseball endeavor
have convinced me more than ever
that it is a wonderful game and a
game worth keeping clean.
Il would rather close my ball park
than send nine men on the field with
one of them holding a dishonest
thought toward clean baseball-the
same with which John McGraw and
went around the world with to
show the people on the other side.
I'VE arc far from through yet. We
have the nucleus Of another cham
pionship team with the remainder OF
the old Worlds championship team. "

Republican Regime
CONTINUED from Page one)

Harding said the public debt had in
creased from 324,2s9,3e1,4s7 on June
80 to s24,324,672.123 on August 81 and
that the deficit for the last year would
have been nearer three billions than
one billion had not the Republican
Congress cut down administration re-
quests for appropriations.
AS an ILLUSTRATION Of financial in
efficiency he quoted Brig. Gen. H. NJ.
Lord, director of finance of the War
department as saying that the de-
partment into the war without any
hxed financial policy with the result
that a dozen bureaus we're competing

ward.
Referring to the proposal for a new
treasury certificate issue. he declared
1t was time the people inquired into
the administrations methods of f.
nancing IL the nation was to be saved
from serious consequences
1T is obvious" he said that when
the government of the United States
offers "a and per cent. for money
the effect is to drive higher and high
er the interest rates on industrial and
business loans and thereby to increase
the cost of doing business and conse-
quently the cost of living.
Industrial reports from one end Of
the country to the other indicate a
falling off in business, a stringency in
the money market. These conditions
are due either directly or indirectly
to the gigantic failure of the Demo-
cratic administration to function as
a business organization. 1t has drawn
the very life blood from the channels
of business to keep itself alive-a
process which if continued will in
evitably produce "a collapse of our in
dustrial system"
The Republican dudbet bill. he said.
would have CO. ordinated the expendi-
lures of the various Federal depart
ments and bureaus and would have
made it necessary for the president to
call his cabinet members into confer
ence, agree on a financial policy and
then adhere to that policy. President
Wilson's veto of the bill in the closing
days of the session, he said. did not
relate to its great constructive fea-
lures, but to a small detail OF partisan
politics" and efforts to re-pass the
measure failed because of "a fillibus-
ter conducted by three Democratic
senator's"

Important Business Change

Another important business change
has taken place on Main street as
Ellsworth E. Peacock. Esq, has TAX
en- over the Office of the late Frank
E. Brown at l4s Main street and will
continue the general practice of law
there. Mr.. Brown had a large and
lucrative practice. making a special
ty of collections, and SO successful
had be been that he had a large
clientage throughout the State. Mrs.
Maybelle VI. Brown had personal SUI
pervision of the collection depart
ment for nearly nine years and she
will remain at the head of that de-
partment. Miss Harriet Green has
been Mrs. Browns assistant for near
ly four years and she will continue
in that capacity, ~
Mr.. Peacock is a native of West
Gardiner, Maine, but for the past Is
years he has been a resident of Read
field. For nine years. he was at the
head of the Commercial Department
Of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary, re-
signing his position to enter upon the
study Of Law in the Office of Beane
e. Beane at Readfield. Upon the
death Of Judge Emery Beane. the
senior member of the firm. Mr.. Pea
cock became a partner in the firm
and continued as such until the for
mer junior member of the firm, Hon.
Fred Emery Beane, was appointed
to the judgship of the Superior
Court OF kennebec County, when the
partnership was dissolved and Mr..
Peacock continued the Office under
his own name, enjoying a large coun-
try practice. Desiring to extend his
field OF labor, he came to Waterville
about year ago and opened an Of
flee in the Office of the late William
T. Haines where he built up a good
practice but continued his Readfeld
office as before. Since coming here
Nj Peacock has been connected with
several notable cases. One was the
celebrated Scott versus Ladd aliena-
ton case which was tried at the
April, 1920. term of the Kennebec
County superior court. In this case
Mr., Peacock represented the plain
till and obtained a verdict for his
client of s3,750. although the defend
ant, Ladd, was represented by ex-
Congressman McGillicuddy. Mr.. Pea
cock will ultimately take up his res
idence in Waterville but for the
present will continue his Office at
Readfield as heretofore although the
large part Of his time will be devot-
ed to his Waterville Office.
Mr.. Peacock is to be congratulated
because Mrs. Brown will still be
identified with the office with Miss
Green as assistant. Mrs. Brown has
spent seventeen years of her life in
active charge OF collections and has
made most enviable name for her
self throughout the State.
