A PROFITABLE LIFE

1t is said of Franklin K Lane that
he left no estate. Property es-
tates do not include valuations
Of examples Of courage, wis
dom and integrity in the administra-
ton of public affairs, the impress
made on ones day and generation,
the noble sentiments and inspired
imagination giving to our national
emblem such expression as may be
found in the celebrated Flag Day ad-
dress. Mr.. Lane once made. He was
an able, fearless and honest admins
traitor, and government in this coun-
try was the better for his having TAX
en- part in 1t. The Stars and Stripes
speak eloquently to most Of us, but
few are capable Of hearing such
words as he ascribed to them:
Let me tell you who l am. The
work that we do is the making of the
real flag. ! am not the flag-not at
all. l am but its shadow, / am what
ever you make me, nothing more.

that blasts judgment. But always

WELCOME, CITY OF RockLAND

The entire Kennebec Valley well
to the Kennebec river, after an abb
sence since 1917 from our waters.
And with that welcome the Kennebec
Valley congratulates the Crosby in
tercsts on the enterprise and persis-
tency that has made possible the re-
sumption of steamer service between
the Kennebec and Boston The re-
ception of the City of Rockland late
Thursday at Bath may have been
noisier but no more sincere than ours
1t is expected that the recondition-
ing of the steamer will be completed
in time to be in regular trips by June
IT. when Bostonians were formerly
accustomed to flock to Maine by hun
dreds. 1t is sincerely hoped that
business conditions and prospects
will be such that the first trip into
the river will find the terminal at
Gardiner, where, we promise. the re-
ception will make that of Bath ap-
pear like Sunday in Philadelphia.
For a celebration of the return of
steamer service. the Bath Rotarians
are planning to charter the steamer
for a days excursion on a date be-
fore June II and invite the Rotarians
of the State and their ladies to join
the party. That would not only be a
fine testimonial of appreciation Of the
establishment of the new line but a
good time seldom so well guaranteed
in advance

The Real Way to Reduce Taxes.

(E. w. Howe's Monthly
DR.. Frank Crane says the way TO
relieve the country from it's present
burdens is to abolish the income tax.
The suggestion does credit to DR..
cranes heart, and mind, and soul,
but the trouble is. with our present
burden of debt, an income tax is a
necessity. The good doctor suggests
that if the railroads, street railways.
telephone lines. water and lighting
systems, ETC., paid a fair tax to the
state, there would be a great reduce
ton In general taxation The trouble
with this suggestion is that the pub
lie utilities he names are already
taxed 80 heavily that most of them
are bankrupt. Our real trouble. of
course; is unnecessary taxation. Our
present taxes might be reduced one
half. with no other result than re-
duction of extravagances and dis
honesty in public affairs. This is the
only reform that is possible. Abolish
the income tax, and another equally
burdensome and troublesome will i'm
mediately become necessary.

There are indications that the ma
chinery for reconstruction of rela-
tions between this country and Mex
leo is being subjected to sabotage.
Men who profess friendliness are
said to be trying by intrigue to bring
about such a condition of things as
will compel this country to intervene
in Mexico. Because of this stories are
put out to the effect that the Obregon
government is about to fall, or that
Oregon himself is hostile to this
country. Reports calculated to irri-
tate Mexicans are being sent out.
Wherever possible these plausible
agents of deviltry are throwing mon
key wrenches into the mechanism
they profess to admire. While these
facts may be known to the better
informed men about the national
capital they doubtless are not known
by the great majority of people. 1t is
well that they should be exposed.

ceNsoRshlp AND SENSES

Some of US are inclined to scott at
the idea that people Of sane. we'll
balanced mind are likely to be in
fluenced in any way by the usual
cinema production, regardless OF the
scenes depicted. It is probably true
that the majority Of audiences. wit
heart stirring or blood-curdling
scenes, can i, register an adequate
amount Of thrill while the reels are
presented. and later drift away from
the theatre with minds and morals
reasonably unaffected.
1t is only the person Of super
sensitive mind and impressionistic
temperament who is the victim of the
sensational everywhere. Recently
the power of suggestion of the mo-
ton picture proved too strong for a
mentally deficient man in Paris who
had been taken by his guardian to
see movies at Ivry, on the outskirts
of the city Of pleasure. In the story
a bandit had been condemned to ex-
ecution and was to have his throat
cut. AS the picture drama unrolled
itself on the film, the defective, evil
IDENTIFY following every movement
that was in action before his eyes,
suddenly pulled a knife from his
pocket and plunged II into his throat.
This, very evidently was an ex-
treme case. However, there are many
witnesses of the silent drama, ac-
credited with full possession of their
mental powers, who are affected to a
harmful degree by intense scenes
flashed before them. They, the i'm
pressionatie minors. the over sensi-
tive adolescents. the high strung,
nervous temperaments, are the un-
fortunate minority who are actually
harmed by the intenser features of
film Land. 1t is a moot question as
to whether a stricter censorship for
their benefit is or is not the duty of
those boards which pass judgment
upon what is fitting for the public
eye to see.
