Maine Retail Plans
Endorsed by the
Portland Retailers

Portland, Me, June 29-The board
of directors OF the Retail Bureau Of
the Chamber of Commerce unani-
mously endorsed the so-called Maine
market" plan-in other words, a plan
to sell Maine products throughout
Maine-at a meeting held Tuesday.
Henry G. Boyer was appointed chair
man of committee of 16 which will
definitely formulate plan for plac-
ing this proposition before the people
as a whole, and also to secure the
endorsement of other bodies, which
would naturally be interested 1t is
figured that if an extensive market
for Maine products is found in Maine
it will be necessary to increase the
output of Maine factories. and that a
very much larger volume of business
will result
The campaign for selling Maine
products in Maine will begin in Port
land, and will probably start with
house to house canvass in which
house owners will be asked to pledge
themselves to purchase Maine made
merchandise provided that it shall be
found as meritorious as the mer-
chandise of the same kind which is
manufactured elsewhere Coupled
with this, the advantages of purchas-
ing Maine products will be put be-
fore the people in advertising of all
forms.

shows a very marked decrease in the
number of petty offenders.
Illinois in the three penal institu-
tons of Joliet, Chester and Pontiac,
the number of inmates showed a de-
cided increase from 1913 to 1917, then
a decrease in 1918 and 1919. With an
other increase in 1920, attributed by
the fiscal supervisor of the Depart
ment of Public Welfare to the return
of parOled men to the institutions and
the more rigid enforcement of the law
in the cities where the newspapers
have been devoting considerable
space to the crime wave.
Whether prohibition accounts for
the difference, of course. is still an
open question. That 1T has had
some influence is less doubtful.
In the face of these facts it is not
much to say that there is close
negative correlation between the en-
actment of the prohibition law and
the commitments to prison, reform
atory and jail

BELATED OBJECTIONS

Just now a lot is being said about
what horrible thing the Dempsey
Carpenter fight is TO be, how wicked
to spend the money for such brutal
izing spectacles and threats to have
it stopped are being made.
Those who propose to do this are a
little late if their purpose is simply
to prevent the exhibition, but right
on time if their purpose is to annoy
the poor deluded mortals who have
put intoThis the money which should
be spent for more worthy purposes.
This money has largely been spent
and the worthy purposes are not like
ly to get any of it if the fight is pre-
vented. Over million has been
turned in for tickets. a quarter Of a
million has been expended in prepar-
ing the arena. The boxing laws of
New Jersey permit twelve rounds.
Great attention has been paid TO
making the contest subject to fair
regulations.
There are good grounds for objoc-
ton to such exhibitions. Boxing is Il
manly sport, but where it is Internal
tionalizcd and commercialized, it
ceases to be so much i sport as a
money making venture with all the
attendant demolalizing features, of
which gambling is a notorious fca-
ture. Yet we think if any lasting
good is to be accomplished in re-
straint of it an organized effort
should bc begun by the objectors
looking to nipping in the bud all III
ture enterprises of that nature. Rails
ing howl at this late day respecting
this particular exhibition is likely 30
do little moro than attract attention.

Making the Roads Safer
(BOSton POSt)

L
Fifty automobile licenses suspend
ed in one day and twenty on the next
for violations of highway regulations
that ought to help some in making
the roads safer for law abiding mo-
toriStS.
1t is apparent to everybody who
has travelled much over Massachu-
sets highways that conditions have
improved since the State Registrar
of Motor Vehicles started his crusade
for safer roads. But there are still too
many drivers who insist on taking a
chance" If it We're only his own
neck that the laWbreaker puts in per-
il, it wouldn't matter SO much. But
even if there are 999 motorists in ev-
cry thousand who drive with due
care, and if the thousandth man is at
flictcd with speed mania, or drives
under the influence of liquor, all the
999 are put in peril by the one Offend
cr's recklessness.
Registrar Goodwin's theory is the
right one-if man isn't willing to
obey the laws of the road, he
shouldn't be permitted to use the
road.

LET'S GO

ITO be prepared for war is one of
the most effectual means of preserv-
ing peace" This from no less an au-
thority than George Washington
Most Americans have confidence in
Washington's wisdom.
Our principal dependence for pro-
the Republic"
This was the opinion of Andrew
and a leader of men schooled in de
pending on themselves to protect the
country they loved. and they were
very successful in so doing.
Every boy should be trained to
know that every able bodied citizen
owes civic duty to the nation-all
the time" So said Theodore Roose-
Welt, and it is generally conceded he
knew what he was talking about in
such matters. Many of our distin-
guished Americans have expressed
similar sentiments. Congress by de-
creasing the army has recently and
directly imposed on the country the
obligation to train its citizenry for
any emergency in self defense
In line with all this thought, which
is but the fruit of experience and
common sense, is the effort now be-
ing made to secure volunteer training
of our young men. Ample provisions
have been made to do this with tho
least discomfort possible and for the
best of results. Citizens military
training camps have been established.

attention of the youth in New Eng
land. This is one of twelve posts in

life; third, habits of self control, re-
sourcefulness. self reliance, and other
elements of manly character;
fourth discipline. precision and a
sense of order; fifth, corporation
and teamwork.
Anyone acquainted with the mind
of the youth will conclude he will

derstand that this situation is very
general, and it has called to mind
'-rery forcibly the fact that both polit-
zeal parties in the last national cam
paign put in their party platforms the
question of the repeal of the excess

laws, and that each pledged itself to
prompt passage of the new law to the
end that business men everywhere
might know where they stood. 1t

would be allowed to go by default in

done about it, and that promptly"
