WIDE SPREAD OUTLAWRY

There is an alarming spread of outlaw
nv throughout the country. Every day
adds to the list of robberies by bandi s in
automobiles, who use revolvers freely to
enforce their demands. In the old DAYS.
such crimes were perpetrated under cover
of darkness, but nowadays they are
lust as likely to take place in broad dav-
liqht. and they occur, not only in the
large cities, but in small towns and VIII
laaes. wherever the bandits know or
have reason to suppose that any consid-
cradle sum of money is within their
reach. They do not hesitate to commit
murder, when their demands are not in
stantly complied with. In Chicago. for
example, hold-up men operate in droves.
no less than twenty-five hold-ups being
the official record of one day. The most
daring robbery was in the early after
noon. when five bandits in an automo-
bile. in the presence of 400 EMPLOYEES. de-
scended upon clothing factory. shot
and fatally wounded the paymaster and
carried off $4,000. Two of the bandits
were wounded, but oil escaped in the
waiting car. There have been 81 muir
ders in that city in the last Sc ven months

The Discredited Primary

One outcome of the recent political
activities eliminating in the Republican
National Convention and its work has
been the very serious if not hopeless dis
crediting of the existing primary election
system.
The principle of the system is, of course,
that the people shall choose their own
party candidates in a free and equal con-
test at the polls. 1t is quite obvious,
however, that if the people are to make
such choice, and are to make it right,
they must be informed concerning the
characters and careers of the various
candidates and the political principles for
which they stand and then shall be pre-
vailed upon to come out and vote at the
primaries.
1t is perfectly obvious, however, that
to fulfil that intent of the system, by dis
seminating information to the people and
urging them to come to the polls and
vote, must cost great deal of money
For candidate to send to each voter by
mail a printed circular letter or tract,
containing brief biographical sketch of
himself and statement of his political
principles and his purposes if elected,
would unquestionably be entirely proper.
1t would simply be giving to each voter
dispensable to his voting intelligently.
Indeed, if such information is not given
to the voters, the primary system is
farce. Yet it is obvious that such infor-
nation could not be printed and mailed
to voters for less than about five cents a
head, and that to send it to twenty mil
lion voters at five cents head would
cost a million dollars.
Obviously, then, only very rich man,
or man with rich frients, can properly
conduct Presidential Primary campaign,
and a candidate VITO has no such COM
mand of wealth is placed at great is
advantage. Obviously, too, as we have
been forcibly reminded, for any candidate
to spend or to have spent in his behalf the
sum which is thus seen to be necessary
for fulfilling the intent of the law, is sure
to subject him to adverse and probably
fatal criticism for too great use of money
in the campaign.
Either, then, the primary campaign
must be an empty and futile thing, or it
must be conducted in way which will
incur grave censure and denunciation,
and which will give one candidate an in
vidious advantage over another regard
less of their comparative merits.-Har-

NOT FEELING MUCH BETTER.

Mlny are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be. Not
withstanding much outdoor life, they are
little if any stronger now than they were.
The tan on their faces is darker and
makes them look healthier, but it is only
mask. They are still nervous, easily
tired, upset by tr'fles, and they do not
eat nor sleep well.
What they need is what tones the
nerves, perfects digestion, creates an ap-
petite, and makes sleep refreshing. In
other words, they should take Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Pupils, teachers, and others
generally will find the chief purpose of
the vacation best subserved by this great
medicine which Guilds up the whole
system"
If cathartic or laxative is needed,
Hoods Pills will give entire satisfaction.
1t is difficult to conceive of anything
better for biliousness or consultation.

LOBSTERMEN NOT PLEASED

Lobstermen of the shore towns of Lin
coin county are much disturbed and
somewhat defiant over the close time on
Holsters declared by order Of the Sea and
Shore Fisheries commission. They as
sert that the notice given was so short
that they were unable to fill their cars
and pounds, that most of their money is
tied up in the lobster business and that it
is almost impossible to get other employ
ment during the time the ban is on.
They further declare that the value of
the close time is practically nothing un-
less it is EXTENDED over long period and
that it will only work injury to the fish
ermen, without favoring the lobster. 1t
looks as if some of the old-time vim of
the lobster champions oratory might be
forthcoming.

Poll Tax to Pay State Bonus

I
The following self-explanatory letter
Is being sent out to the Maine Patrons of
Husbandry by w. j. Thompson, Master
of the Maine State Grange:
To the Patrons of Maine:
In further explanation to the circular
letter sent out by the Executive Commit
tee relative to poll tax to cover the Sol
diers' and Sailors State bonus of $4,000,
600 passed at the special session of our
legislature and to the belief that State
Income Tax is needed to meet the rapidly
increased expenses, which bear unduly
heavy on the small home and the farms.
will say:
At the special session of the legislature
1919 resolve was passed giving to the
soldiers and sailors of Maine who served
in the war with Germany bonus of 500
each.
AS there are approximately 80, 600 such
soldiers and sailors the total amount to be
paid by taxes is So, 600, 600.
Since this is patriotic gift by the peo-
pie of the State expressing their apprecia-
ton of the generous service rendered by
the soldiers and sailors, it is fitting that
as far as possible, all should share in con-
tributing this gift.
believe that poll tax is the best way
to meet this expense and that the average
poll Taxpayer will be glad to contribute
his share. New Hampshire has already
given such bonus and is to raise it by
increased poll taxes.
In Maine there are approximately 2OO..
600 poll tax payers The present law pro-
vides that no less than one or more than
three dollars be raised, and as each city
or town determines the rate within these
limits, the average rate is slightly less
than three dollars.
If two dollars were added to this to
apply to paying the bonus, it would ap-
pear more as patriotic gift and relieve
the farm and home taxpayer to that ex-
tent
AS to State Income Tax, it is intend
ed not only to reach salaries but incomes
from intangible property such as stocks
and bonds, a class of property not gener-
ally reached under the present law, but
for which the grange has always stood.
Massachusetts, and Wisconsin already
have such law.

A WISE LABOR POLICY

The proposal made by a delegate to the
annual convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, in session at Montreal,
to CO operate with employers in creating
voluntary arbitration body to settle
grievances, is hopeful sign of the times.
The sponsor of the resolution asserted
that it would bring about "more har-
monious relationship" reduce the cost of
living, and end the present cycle of wage
advancing and price increasing, (which
it seems utter folly to continue" Per-
haps it would not do all that but it would
undoubtedly help. British labor leaders
recently have taken the same view.
1t would seem to indicate that organized
labor, particularly in the more highly
skilled trades, is beginning to realize the
interdependence of labor and capital.
Capital furnishes the tools and labor uses
them. Neithe, can succeed without the
other. Capital has begun to show its
/, realization of that fact by the formation
of shop councils, profit sharing schemes,
and so FORTH Labor is beginning to show
its realization by such statements as the
one cited.
The greatest gains in the present gen.
tIdIIOLs anu dediASI 'iio siSo's MANU-
caps, have been by labor. But victory,
pressed too far, may end in defeat. A
tendency toward legal adjudication of
labor disputes has become apparent of
late. Probably this is due to the fear of
the unorganized majority, constituting
the middle class, that it will be crushed
between the opposing forces of capital
and labor.
If the A. F. of L. will adopt policy
along the lines of that suggested, we be-
lieve it will find capital glad to cooperate
and the great mass of the people eager to
subscribe to the arrangement with de-
termination to secure justice to ALL
CHICAGO Tribune.
