Editors Letter Box
Superintendent Stuart's RepIv

Augusta. Maine, Mar II. 1920.
TO the Editor of the kennebec Jour-
nal:
While I do not think it would ne
proper for me to enter into a contro-
versy with an individual through he
columns of your paper on a policy Of
school organization, inasmuch as
Wilbert $. Wilson in his letter which
appeared in your paper on the morn
ing of March II. stated to the public
the following statements which 1 be-
lieve to be reliable.
First: The Board of Education of
this city has no intention of asking
for an appropriate for any school
building this year. The superintend-
ent has never publicly, or privately,
expressed himself as in favor of ask
ing for such an appropriation at this
time. The superintendent of schools
and the Board of Education are very
anxious to settle upon a far-sighted
and rational building program of the
sort that when the need does arise
the board will be ready and the peo-
pie also.
Second: The article above referred
to challenges the right Of the super
intendent of schools Of this city to go
before the public and express his
opinion and outline policies which he
considers will benefit the public
school system. I do not believe that
the rank and file Of the people in this
city wish the superintendent to
smother such plans and conceal them
from public knowledge.

And tho Consumer Pay. the Bill.

THE Grain Corporation for two years
has protected the Presidential Wheat
Price Guaranty by purchases OF wheat
and wheat -four at the guarantee basis.
In three years. its purchases OF VIVA.

antee.'-J. II. Barnes, L. 5. Wheat
Director.
This saving TO farmers of over
billion, which Mr.. Barnes claims the
Grain Corporation has accomplished,
doesn't include mention Of what has
been lost by the consumers Of bread
in increased price. 1t is safe to as
sumo that it must have been well
over a billion. If wheat had gone
one dollar lower the farmer would
have been protected by the billion
dollar guaranty fund and he would
have lost nothing.
AS a result of the methods en-
ployed by the Corporation it nnds it
self with warm weather approaching
and over five million barrels Of flour
on hand which it has been unable to
sell for cash, at home. or abroad.
Much Of this flour was made from
the large yield Of soft winter wheat
which does not command the price
Of flour made from the strong
wheats. Mr.. Barnes declares that
there has not been day when dour
consumers in this country could not
have bought some character of STAN
dard -four at the equivalent Of the
guarantee wheat price. But they
didn't.
II is evident the Grain Corporation
wishes to get out of it's predicament
by permission to sell its soft wheat

Critics Of 6olshevism Not Safe.

A Russian by The name of Nossar
wrote pamphlet entitled: How
Trotsky Sold Russia" and they killed
him, though he was the brains of the
tirst Russian revolution and consid-
cred a patriot. He started some.
thing he couldn't finish. Now the
representative of the Lenin &
Trotsky regime. Martens by name, is
brazeniy accusing the United States
government Of bitterly prosecuting"
those who favor the government
which has murdered Nossar among
thousands of others. An American
in Russia giving expression to such
rant as Martens would be killed be-
fore his words got cool.
We trust Maxim Gorky will keep
away from home, otherwise his name
win be added to the list of the dis
tinguished victims Of tolshevism.

the following statement:

FATHER TELLS
How He and Son Were
Restored
Did Not Think II Possible for Any
Medicine to Do What TanIae Did
For Them

Il did not believe there was med
icine in the world that would do any
body as much good in so short time
as Tanlac has my son and myself"
said Godfois Rioux. Plymouth, n. H..
who is engaged in the lumber bust
ness on Beebe River, while in Welsh
& Cummings drug store in Man
chester.
Well, sir. as to what Tanlac did
cry was brought about so quickly I
could hardly realize it. For some
time had been in a badly rundown
condition, my appetite was very poor.
and what cid manage to eat did not
seem to do me particle of good. and
I was gradually getting weaker and
weaker. l had seen Tanlac so highly
for myself and son, too. who was also
in bad shape and by the time had
finished the first bottle had a
splendid appetite and now 1 can eat
three good meals day and enjoy
them. My strength has returned and
am in such good health every way
that have not needed any more than
that one bottle of Tanlac. But my
sons case is the remarkable one He
had suffered for a long time with
pains in different parts of his body
and in his head. He ate hardly any
thing. had lost weight until he was
scarcely more than a frame, and A.
nally became so weak and run down
he just had to quit work, as he could
hardly get around at all. He was
extremely nervous and complained Of
not being able to sleep move than
one or two hours any night, and in
the mornings he would show it, for he
looked tired and all wornout. and
would NOPE about all day just like
there was hardly any life left in him.
Naturally. l was very much worried
over his condition.
We'll, he began to improve on the
very first bottle of Tanlac and con-
tinued to get better so rapidly that,
while he has taken only three bottles,
he does not look like the same young
man. He has such an enormous ap-
petite do not, see how he manages 10
hold what he eats. and everything
seems to agree with him perfectly
He says the pains have all gone out
of his body and head. sleeps like a
log all night long every night. and is
always the first one up and at work
around the lumber camps in the
mornings. He never compla ms a bit
OF feeling tired or run down. but on
the other hand. says he feels good all
the time. and he certainly looks like
it. for since taking Tanlac he has
changed from a weakly looking. thin,
scrawny young man into a big,
strong. healthy one and is the picture
of health. After what Tanlac has
done for US both l don't know of any,
thing that gives me more pleasure
than recommending Tanlac to 9TH
ers'

"it 10 always unfortunate to be in.
different to . party, but il is more
unfortunate to be Indifferent to prin-
chile"
Now Seems Sure.

Washington and Delaware have
called special sessions of their legis-
latures to meet March 80 to ratify
the suffrage amendment. II they
vote favorably. as il is expected they
will, the fight will be finished and
equal suffrage Will be assured.
Maine women have been for some
time quietly and confid entity going
about the business Of organization
and education for politics, firmly be-
ieving that they would be permitted
to lend their thought and energy to
assist In moulding the affairs of state
and nation ard wishing to be as well
qualified as possible to take their
part of the responsibility when the
time came.
In this city many women who were
formerly lukewarm toward suffrage
and others who were opponents OF il
have now accepted it and are going
seriously and conscientiously about
learning how to exercise the fran
chise. They are not of TIE type Of
anti suffragists who drag their feet.
and will drag them after equal suf-
frage becomes fact. They have
clearly said that they are no. eager
TO vote but if they are to have the
privilege and the duty they wish to
DO their best. They deserve to be
commended for their attitude and
The prophets OF calamity have moth
ing to fear from them.
The Maine State organization Of
Republican women was perfected
some months ago end the county and
town organizations are in process of
formation. One county, Kennebec,
has its county committee and town
committees complete and throughout
the State wonderland men too, are
actively at work to make ready for
the entry OF woman into the political
field.
Ratification by the Washington
state legislature is counted certain.
and Governor Townsend. Of Delaware
has made a strong appeal which is
expected to carry much weight with
The legislature of his state. 1t is en-
tirely possible and quite probable
that announcement Of the completion
Of the ratification can be made at the
time OF the Maine Republican State
convention in Bangor. March 25.
Then the program for Maine women
which is now only tentative and con-
tingent can be made definite and eff
fective.

kitchener's Dou

Lord kitchener's favorite dog,
which he left in the hands of Ad-
miral Grant before embarking on the
cruiser Hampshire, is believed to
have become good Australian. Ad-
miral Grant. who has been appointed
first naval member Of the Australian
naval board. brought Kitchener's pet
to the commonwealth on board the
battle cruiser Australia. Ordinarily
the commonwealth does not encour-
age the landing Of cats and dogs from
overseas. but Australia holds Kitch-
ener in such dear memory that one
may safely conjecture that excep-
ton will be made in this instance.

How Will They Take Their Medicine?


Chicago Evening Post
Mr.. Duncan and his colleagues in
the labor movement al Seattle are to
be commended for having taken their
cause to the polls. They challenged
public sentiment. They presented
their case in the campaign. They
had the aid of an ably edited labor
newspaper. Now they have their an
swer.
They know that a big ma jority of
the people of Seattle oppose the pro-
gram they advocate. The beating
they got in the industrial battle they
precipitated is confirmed by their de-
feat at the polls. We hope they will
have the good sense to ACCEPT the de-
clslon. Doubtless, they contend that
they are quite as good Americans as
the majority behind their victorious
opponent. The proof will lie in their
willingness to bow to the rule of the
majority.
Meantime the country is grateful
to Seattle. Their verdict will have a
steadying influence. 1t will help to
restore confidence. We do not regard
1t as an evidence of reaction. as an
indication that the people are I'M
willing to listen to the rigid and rea-
sonable demands of labor, but rather
as proof that they cannot be stam-
peded into turning their institutions
over to class control,

What our Americanizing
workers are seeking TO do is to lead
foreigners-or in some instances ma
tives-to want to be American. We
should not blame foreigners for OBJ
lecting if We refused them the right
to speak their native tongue among
themselves or to practice freely the
rites of their religion, whatever 1t
may be. Our Americanization is a
doctrine Of love and duty, not one Of
enforced assimilation.
At the same time. it may be as
we'll to say. for the benefit of foreign
born DIRECTORS to Americanization,
that we do not. indeed. propose to
encourage the formation in this
country of such a MOSAIC Of diverse
natlonalities as Austria Hungary,
Russia and the Balkans have been.
This is not the part of the world for
the maintenance of such an ethno-
graphic crazy-quilt as Austria Hun
gary was. America has already
self-determined." and her determi-
nation is to he American. The die
was cast in that direction long ago.
Our language and our institutions
are the expression and the weapon
OF our freedom. The peoples of for
eign tongue and foreign ideals in our
midst have not been here from time
immemorial. as Slavs and Jews have
been in Hungary. or as Poles, Lithu-
anians. Let's, Jews and Firms have
been in Russia. 1t is indeed our
wish and our purpose to assimilate
the foreigner to our own culture. 1t
was with that understanding that we
invited him here, and in the knowl-
edge Of that understanding he came.
Not by tyrannous means, but in the
light of love for our free institu-
tons and in good will toward our
/ constitution and our laws, we pro-
pose TO provide for the Americaniza-
ton of all our people. of whatever
origin.
