BELFAST
Waldo County Veterans
Entertained at Morrill,

Morrill,, June 19-One of the hap
piest days in the calendar of the
Waldo County Veterans Association
took place on Thursday at Morrill,
when the Civil War veterans and
their families We're entertained by
the people of the village for the day.
Everything possible was done to
make the day happy one and the 40
veterans present enjoyed it to the
utmost. The morning session was
held in the Grange hall and it was
voted to hold the next meeting on
July LIST in Newburg, the home of the
president. johnson Trask Dinner
was served in the hall at noon by the
ladies of Morrill,, and was followed
by smoke talk when the boys told
and re-told the anecdotes of 81.
The afternoon session was held in
the village church. The little edif1ce
was filled to overlooking and the
meeting one Of much pleasure. 1t
was called to order by President
Trask. and after the singing of
America, cordial address of well
come was made by Rev. Nathan
Hunt, pastor of the church. In re-

while the. veterans added their stories
always so entertaining to old and
young.
The only shadow to fall on the sun
shine of the day was the absence of
enc who has for years been promi =
nent in the village, and an honorary
member of the association, DIR.
Thomas n. Pearson, whose death oc-
CURED few weeks ago and for whom
the whole countryside mourns. DIR.
Pearson delighted in entertaining the
veterans and his presence at the
gatherings was always a joy to them.
Two comrades We're reported to
have answered the last roll call since
the veterans met a month ago, Fair

bers of the 26th Maine Volunteers.
Following the singing of God Be

veterans gave three rousing cheers
for Morrill, and departed for their

Let Greece Do It.

The grand old man of Greece, M.
venizelos, is rumored to have ex-
pressed his readiness to place Greek
forces at the disposal of the Allies
for the execution Of the Turkish
treaty. NJ. Venizelos is said to be
convinced that Greece could quickly
reduce the Turkish nationalists to
reason. Opinions may differ as to
what is meant by reason" in this
case as in others. but if the Greeks
can end the horrors of the Near East
urder Turkish domination nobody
should object. Probably M. Venizelos
knows at least as much of conditions
and causes in that part Of the world
as any living man, and he is entitled
to hearing If he has any plan to
settle the Turkish question. Greece,
too, is entitled to recognition in re-
ward for her part in the late war
1. is reported that the Hythe confer
ence Of premiers has decided to give
Greece the free hand she has asked
for.

The Suffrage Referendum

Governor Milliken in accordance
with the constitution Of the State
and in consequence Of action taken
by a group of anti suffragists has
ordered referendum September 10
next on the act passed by the 1919
legislature, giving presidential suf-
frage to the women of the State.
The Maine constitution requires
that when any act passed by the
legislature is desired to be referred
to the people the same shall be done,
provided a written petition of not
less than ten thousand voters be
filed within a specific time. Such
petition having been filed, the act in
question shall be referred to the peo-
pie at general election. The proc
lamation issued by Governor Milli-
ken is in conformity to the pro-
visions Of the constitution relating to
the referendum.
Between now and September 10 the
seth state may ratify the Anthony
Federal suffrage amendment. giving
full rights to vote to all women of
tho United States. If this happens,
the Maine referendum will be only
a futil6 expenditure of money and
the result Of misdirected energy. The
ants will be unable to prevent Maine
women from voting for President and
also FOE all other officers Of the civil
government.
Suppose the ratification Of the
Federal amendment is not completed
by September 10, the ants will have
the satisfaction. If they wish to call
it that, :.of firing last shot. But in
view Of the sentiment Of the great
majority Of Americans throughout
the country and of progressive people
all over the world for woman SUI
frage, 1t is unthinkable that the
pending referendum should result in
any way other than approval and
ratification Of the action Of the 1919
legislature in passing the presiden-
tial suffrage bill. The anti suffra-
gists who sought the referendum are
only revealing themselves as several
years behind the trend Of political
thought and practice.

There appears to be none to dis

country needs the cooperation and
united efforts Of her wisest and best
Since the crucial days Of the war &C.
tivities, when patriotic men of all
parties laid aside their preferences
and prejudices and gave themselves
TO united effort with the most inspir-
ing results ever witnessed, there have
been confusion. pickering. tealousies,
all the disintegrating influences
which are inevitably found associat-
ed with autocratic rule. There can
be no relief from these miserable
conditions under that autocratic
rule.
We undertake to end executive
autocracy, and to restore to the
people their constitutional govern
ment." So declares the Republican
platform and it is no idle use of
words. The Republican party there
expressed the sentiment of the coun-
try. People like a leader, indeed are
too inclined to look for leadership
when the responsibility is and should
be individual to themselves. too in
clined to become dependent on the
judgment of one man. Nevertheless
they do not want autocracy, instinc-
lively rebel against it, and have rea-
son to be gravely apprehensive when
such leadership encroaches on their
rights. and the leader rather than
the led becomes the absorbing
idea.
The Republicans could not have
chosen a man who possesses in great
er degree the ability to secure CO.
operation, to accomplish results with
the aid Of others. than does Senator
Harding. This is not disputed; his
record throughout bears evidence of
it He Is known Of all his associates
as q man who not only makes no
pretense respecting his own wisdom
but seeks and is capable Of finding
the best in others. Mckinley had
these same qualities and men learned
not to impose on him but did give
him loyal service. There is great
need right now of that sort of a
man at the head of our national af-
fairs.

What We Are Looking For-

\WdteTDury RepuDllcan)
While Warren G.. Harding is not
the biggest man in the Republican
party, the fact that he is neither a
radical nor an ultra conservative
means that he will appeal strongly
to great many voters in this coun-
try. who are weary of wrangling, of
the advancement of idealistic theo-
ries. of the dominance Of one-man
power. People want a chance to
forget International relationship for
a time. so that they can give their
attention to the immediate needs of
the moment and they want some sort
OF a man to tie to. who will give
them what they desire. Just now it
would appear that Harding will be
turned to with a feeling that is akin
to relief.
