Tragedy and Comedy

Complaint is made that our indus
tries cannot get sufficient steam coal
to continue running because the op-
orators are able to sell abroad for
bigger prices; that if something is
not done mills cannot go on making
shoddy while the warehouses bulge
with samples; cannot manufacture
paper soles for our shoes while the
price Of leather drops. because there
won't be sufficient fuel.
This appears somewhat of blend
ing of tragedy and comedy; TRAGEDY
for the consumer who will be de-
prived Of his shoddy clothing and pa
per soled shoes and comedy for few
choice spirits who by stopping man.
ufacture will be able to dispose Of
their surplus and possibly be able to
get their help to work for less than a
dollar a minute and a scenic tour Of
European battlefields thrown in for
a bonus.
It's an ill wind that blows nobody
except the ultimate consumer
good. Now if these rascals-er-r ath-
err those who believe in charging
what the traffic will bear. would only
put their heads together.

The National Woman's Party AGAIN.

The National Woman's Party Again.
Miss Alice Paul and her National
Woman's party have gone into their
files and their logic box and have de-
cided to support Governor Cox. They
reason thus: Senator Harding has not
attempted either in the Senate or in
the party to use any form of CO.
ercion to bring about the enfranchise-
ment Of women although he is favor
able to suffrage and has given the
governor of Vermont a broad hint.
Governor Cox had left Congress when
the National Woman's party was or
ganized in 1914. consequently his
part in the passage of the amendment
could not be so active since he had
TO vote to cast" in the words of the
women's party declaration.
Hence they decide to vote for him.
But not all the women belong to the
National Woman's party. by any
means.

No Escape
worcester Telegram, Rep

CIV OrceSter Telegram, Rep-D
The novel theory of a candidate
beginning his campaign for the presi-
dency by repudiating the promises of
his party platform is advanced by
the New York World which says that
Governor Cox is fortunately placed
in one respect, for by reason of his
complete detachment from the Ad-
ministration he will escape response
bility for its errors and is under no
obligation TO defend them
Now the party platform formu-
lates the beliefs and promises of the
posed to stand before the people.
He cannot interpret. or eliminate, or
dodge any of its separate pronounce
ments, much less the entire docu-
ment. He must represent the plat
form in person. If the Worlds as
sumption means anything it means
that Governor Cox must repudiatc
first of all the summing up in the
concluding paragraph of the plat
form, and therefore must repudiate
the entire platform. for in that final
paragraph is the plain and emphatic
statement:
Resting our claims to the conf
dence of the people not upon grandi-
ose promises but upon the solid per-
formances of our party. we submit
our record to the nations considera-
ton. and ask that the pledges of this
platform be appraised in the light of
that record
The Whole platform is an endorse
ment of the Wilson administration.

istration and pledges its fealty 20

must stand on the platform and must
abide by its endorsement of the Will
son administration, else he becomes
a candidate running independently.
apart from his party. He cannot es-
cape responsibility for its errors and
he must defend them. Otherwise he
is not the candidate of the Demo-
cratic party at all.

A New War in Asia?

Among the wars that are and those
that are threatened the latest and I'M
doubtedly the largest. should it ma
terialize would be an outbreak Of
bolshevism in India and simultane-
Gus revolution in Japan, aided and
abetted by certain elements in China.
Staggering. isn't it? Yet that is what
is proposed by DR.. Sun Vat Sen. first
president Of the Chinese republic
and the man who was most active in
bringing China to the republican
form of government.
The key to this catastrophe prop
osition is the pending renewal of the
Anglo japanese alliance. China, sit
uated between Japan and the British
province of India, is bound to be at
fected by the action Of these two ma.
tons, whether they do or do not re-
new their agreement. The Chinese
position. as taken by DR.. Sun. is that
the alliance should not be renewed,
of course. China fears and hates
Japan and would be willing to do
much to prevent any and all attempts
Of Japan to strengthen her position
among nations. Should Japan lose
the powerful support of Great Britain.
China would be glad.
According to DR.. Sym. if Britain
renews the alliance she will be going
counter to the wishes Of her domin-
ions and against the opinions Of Brit
ish residents in the Far East. Fur
thermore, DR.. Sun himself declares
he will go bolshevik and do his ut
most to stir up trouble in India, and
AYERS that the position Of Great
Britain in China will be lost.
If Great Britain refuses longer to be
bound to japan the latter country
may be counted upon to disseminate
bolshevik and anti British propa-
ganda. in India on her own account.
Japan.is capable Of doing much to
annoy Britain in this manner and she
would also withdraw her support
against Russian propaganda which
has been working in India for many
months.
India is Britain's vulnerable spot
now as it always has been. The
millions who live there are unframed
and susceptible to influence Of almost
any kind that promises well. whether

For Disabled Veterans.

The secretary Of labor. who Is also
chairman Of the Federal Board OF
Vocational Training. has declared
that the amendment to the existing
law which provides an increase in
compensation to disabled soldiers is
defective and does not provide the re-
lief intended. The Committee for
Aid to Disabled Veterans, of which
Col Henry L. Stinson, former secre-
tary of war, is chairman has issued a
call for a conference at noon Of July
Is at the Lawyers Club, New York
City, under the auspices of the Carry
On Association, Of which Mrs. Wen
dell Phillips is national chairman.
The invitation to attend has been
sent broadcast. 1t says in part:
We are agreed. believe, that ex-
listing provisions for the care and re-
Mobilization Of these men are far
from adequate. The situation Of the
mental and tuberculosis cases par
ticularly needs attention, and there is.
as well, lack of understanding Of the
gravity and magnitude of the whole
problem.
Private agencies are not equipped
for the immense task, and existing
legislation does not give sufficient
scope to the government agencies.
As you probably know, the number Of
men discharged from service with
disabilities is estimated at from $780,
$50 to $4,000. This year the govern
ment has been asked to appropriate
$3.50, 900. 900 for the care and training
agreed among officials that the an
nual cost presently will be $1,000
100000 if the country intends to re-
claim those men who now represent
an economic loss, and whose present
condition constitutes an unpaid debt
of honor.
This conference is called. not to
criticize but in the hope that out of
the discussion may come some con-
crete proposals for definite adequate
action. For this reason the group at
tending the conference will represent
virtually all agencies and many
prominent citizens interested in the
disabled
Out of this conference it is expect
ed a concrete recommendation for
permanent and sufficient aid to the
disabled will be formulated and every
effort wiz be made to see that it Is
put into effect.

Retain the Law School
waterville, Me, July 10, ~

waterville, Me-, July 10, 1920.
To the Editor
There is a matter which 1t wouio
seem to me has not received enough
attention from the newspapers OF the
State and that is the matter OF as
continuing the Law School at tne
University of Maine.
At a meeting Of the trustees OF the
University early in the summer, II
was voted to discontinue the scnooI
and then owing to the petitions ana
complaints of certain alumni ana
friends of the school a period OF 81
days was allowed in which an en-
deavor was to be made to finds means
of continuing the school. The sum-
mer is rapidly passing and nothing
has been done as yet. At least no re-
port has been made.
AS a student of the school and cit
izen interested in the State OF
Maine, it appears to me that it is
shame that this school is TO be dis
continued. 1t seems to me that it
would be a discredit to the State to
allow this school which was so pros
porous TO go out of existence. Given
half chance, the school would come
back into its own. The time 20 act,
however, is now before all the stu
dents and prospective students make
arrangements to go elsewhere. 1t
cannot be expected that students will
be attracted to the Maine Law School
il the summer is gone before a deci-
sion in the matter is reached.
1t seems to me that the newspapers
of the State should take up this mat
ter in order to bring the question be-
fore the people of the State. l can
not believe that with full knowledge
of the facts of the case that the peo-
pie Of this State will desire to see the
school with the fine building at Ban
gor. the fine law library and the en-
viable record of the past when stu
dents were attracted from all parts
of New England to SO easily pass out
of existence.
The State of Maine can afford the
comparatively small expense of op-
Grating law school. Prompt action
is necessary. I trust you will do your
share in urging the trustees to take
steps to have the school continued
and in giving this matter the proper
publicity.
Yours very truly,
F. HAROLD DUBORD.

Some Kindness Yet in the World
providence Journal)
There is more neighborliness in the
world than appears to the casual eye.
For instance, a poor woman, over
eighty. and her daughter, whose en-
tire income is fifty dollars year.
have the life use of their house, and
a charity fund contributes somewhat
to their needs. But these sources Of
assistance would be unavailing If 1t
were not for the goodness of a next
door neighbor. who furnishes the
food for their three daily meals,
cooks the meals, and sends them into
the house.
Here is another instance: A woman
is in a highly nervous state. and
therefore the object of constant ap-
prehension to her family. Her hus-
band must go to his work each day
to support her and her small chill
dren, so the next-door neighbor-an-
other self-denying woman-has taken
upon herself the whole care of the
disturbed household, although she
has a family of her own to look out
for also.
These are only two examples IT
the spirit of kindness that can be
found everywhere in the world. 1t is
a comfort TO realize that it exists.
alongside all the stress and strife of
our times. all the social agitation, all
the industrial uncertainty. 1t is a
basic human principle on which we
can count in the midst of discomfort
and change.
