The Kennebunkport
Shook Taking a Rest

Word comes from Kennebunkport
town house THAT the spooks whose
weird performances have set the
town agog and drawn curious people
and serious minded Investigators
from near and far have taken their
departure, or at all events are no
longer holding forth in the Hartman
home. Night after night now passes
and nothing unusual occurs. Wheth-
er the spooks' uncanny revels were in
any way connected with the sudden
death of Mrs. Harriman's sister, and
have ceased their annoyances since
she passed away. or whether their ST.
lence is to be accounted for in some
>Other way is a question which no one
is prepared TO answer. There are
people in Kennebunk and vicinity
who cling to the belief that there is
too much bunk" in Kennebunk and
kennebunkport for the good of the
two towns and they take no stock in
the spook talk. They also think that
Hartman has been altogether too
ready to commercialize the affair and
make money out of the alleged visits
OF the spooks.-Biddeford Journal.

WOMEN SEEKING EDUCATION

The invitation of the Maine League
of Women Voters to attend it's an
nual meeting and participate in its
purposes, chief of which is said to
be the education of the women re-
specting the new duties to which
they are called is worthy of atten-
ton. With every year that passes
the demand for an educated intelli-
gence on the part Of those who exer-
else the suffrage becomes more and
more insistent. And while the men
have had better opportunity to keep
informed respecting political Ques-
lions, likewise much more induce
ment, than the women have enjoyed,
their lack Of information is far from
negligible \ Mans Lea que would
find ample field for endeavor could it
lie assured Of willing pupils. 1t seems
however, safe to conjecture that man
would hold himself aloof, unwilling
to admit his ignorance. And con-
sidering his long. even if in some re-
spscts futile. experience in politics
such admission would be quite hui
initiating, though doubtless good for
his soul.
The women, on the other hand, are
frank to seek for information and
rightly assume that there is every
reason why they should be So Any
thing which may encourage them in
this. may afford them what they
seek. cannot but prove beneficial in
sofar as it adheres to that endeavor.
If on the contrary it should encour-
age women ito think and act along
sex lines, or encourage sex cleavage
among the voters it would be seri-
ously detrimental. 1t is gratifying to
note that this League avows its pur-
pose to encourase women to enroll in
political parties. This IS as it should
be. Perhaps having done this they
may be in a position to onlighten the
men who have not had these advan-
tages. which are offered by the
Lea que.

The Removal Of Tufts.


The decision of the Supreme Court
Of the Commonwealth, or that portion
of it that heard the case, that Nathan
a. Tufts is to be removed from the
Office of district attorney of MiddleseX
County was not unexpected. That it
was unanimous determination
makes it all the more significant and
instructive. That it sets a precedent
in this state-some say in the United
States-means that in the future men
in such positions must walk with I'M
deviating uprightness and a prope,
regard for the responsibilities
liritations-of the Office Of public
prosecutor.
1t must he held in mind that Mr..
Tufts was not on trial for the COM
mission Of crimes. Things that might
not have been proved against him in
a jury trial counted heavily in the
prosecution of district attorney for
"malfeasance, misfeasance and nom
feasance." The whole matter sim
mered down to the one clear and
simple question: Was Nathan A.
Tufts a fit man to be continued in an
Office of such vast and vital i'm
portance as that which he held? The
members of the court OF last appeal
answer that he was not and is not
fit, and must proceed to leave that
office for the public good"
In that solemn verdict the peopIe Of
the Commonwealth. always confident
in the integrity and high character Of
their great court will acquiesce with
the full assurance that the decision is

There are weather conditions that

The election of a Republican Con-
gresham from Senator Lodges home
district by the usual wide margin
confirms the verdict registered by the
senatorial election in New Mexico.
There is no sign yet of a reaction
against the Administration. The Re
publican candidate in Massa chusetts
polled less than half as MANY votes
as the Republican candidate in the
same district polled last November.
but the vote for his Democratic OPP
ronent fell off even more. although
Senator Walsh, Senator Lodges
Democratic colleague, appealed to the
voters to rehuke the Harding Adj
mnstration by returning a Demo-
cratic congressman. Evidently they
old not feel that the Admins ration
deserved to be rebuked.
