AN INSANE IDEA

An Answer to the Insane, Dark
Age Idea" is the subject of COM
munication, published in the Journals
Letter Box, letter from DR.. Travis
which we trust will be read by all
who have the opportunity. The .sug-
gcstion that insane people should be
put to death is so directly opposed
TO all the indubitable proofs accumu-
lating from experience with those
unfortunates as to be an insult to
the intelligence of the public.
If the insane are to be put to death.
by all means begin with those who
propose the method.
Ii is but charitable to regard them
as insane as is their idea, because in
sanity presupposes brains. However,
it may be left to their choice. per-
haps. whether they are to be thought
insane or brainless.
Whichever be true, they are incul-
eating a very wrong conception of
the actual conditions Of the insane,
are causing needless sorrow to many
friends of the unfortunate, doing this
remorselessly to crafty their mania
for public notoriety.
Doctor Travis should be thanked
for making this effort to correct mis-
conceptions which might arise be-
cause of this, wicked proposition, one
which, should it be believed generally,
would undo much that has been &C
complished by enlightened methods,
and set civilization back to the Dark
Ages in. it's attitude toward mental
disorders.

A,RsH,p FOR ARMY

While the army has been made as
small as safety permits. smaller
many think, this need not preclude
equipping what we have completely
and most efficiently. Whether the
big airship we bought of Italy will
come under that head remains to be
seen. This huge. semi-rigid dirigible
is driven by six IL cylinder engines
with 2400 horse power. is rated as
having lifting capacity of $1,000
pounds and can carry nearly nineteen
tons in addition to her crew at an
estimated maximum speed of 80 miles
per hour.
It holds 1900 900 cubic feet of gas.
il 40 feet long and 81 feet wide and
is thought to be capable of going 500
miles without refilling. The craft
was designed for commercial pur-
poses and sold to this government
for 100000. although it is estimated
1t would cost a million and quarter
to duplicate it in this country.

To Raise the Standard

Bangor. Me.
To the Women Voters:
Please allow me to say that grand
opportunity is ours to raise the stand
ard of politics. Let us cooperate in
every way to make our town, city.
State and nation the best in the world.
I have talked with number of minis
tiers in regard to their taking an active
part in politics. ! find there is a diff
ference of opinion. Some say. "Oh, we
must not be mixed up in politics.;
others say II don't know but that is
where we should be-" A number of
men have said Politics are so crooked
I dent want my women folks mixed up
with the dishonest politicians" Is this
not where the women belong and thus
try to make politics honest? Just so
long as men and women feel that poll
| tics will contaminate them, then so
long will conditions remain the same.
Who but a mother should have a voice
in making better laws so that her chill
dren can find a better world to live in?
Who but the woman taxpayer has
better right to say how her money
shay be spent? And who but the hard
working woman has the right to
voice as to the need of better working
conditions?
The writer asks every woman to
think seriously upon this matter So
many women say 1T don't know one
thing about politics and what is Sthe
use to bother with it all?" Are poll
tics so complicated that one can't see
the conditions right at their doors?
If women will start out with the
intention of having honest politics,
then We will have the reform that Is
so much wished for. Unless the wom-
en- can hold to what is true and hon
est, then we are getting into deep
waters" and the ballot will be a harm
instead of benefit.
Women should join one or two poIit-
ical parties and should aim to make
the platform of the party chosen the
best platform.
Women should be represented in all
bodies, in conventions, and in Iegisla-
lures.
Women and men should always work
together in committees.
There is no reason why women
should not be elected to office at once.
They should read two newspapers
every day and thus become familiar
with the methods of both parties.
Women need politics to broaden
them out. Politics will be a hard fight
but an interesting one.
We must win the battle: only
through individual effort can this be
done.
Sincerely yours,
ELIZABETH HANSON,
Who is glad to do what she can to
make the world better

lsIesboro Man Hangs Self

Islesboro, March 5-(SpeciaD-O
of the most shocking tragedies
to take place on this island was the
Lincoln N. Gilkey, who was found
dead, by hanging, in his barn. The
body was discovered by his daugh-
ter, Miss Gladys.
Lincoln N. Gilkey is said to have
been one of the most popular resi-
dents on the island, among old and
young, always active in everything
that meant the welfare of the little
community, and deeply interested in
local and State politics. He had
served on the board of selectmen, on
the school committee and for several
years as collector Of taxes. He was
notary public. and some years ago
was in the grocery business, but for
late years operated his small farm
and milk route supplying the sum-
mer visitors during the season. He
was a member of Island Lodge. F..
& A. NJ, of the Islesboro Board of
Trade and of the Village Improve
ment Society in all of which he was
prominent. He was about so years
old
No reason for the tragic act is
known. While he had not been
well for some time. he was in his US
ual health but year ago while
working in the woods he was struck
on the head by falling limb and
was unconscious for some time. It
is believed that indirectly this is the
cause of his death, for he never fully
recovered from the effects of the ac-
cident. The death of his eldest
daughter some years ago was also a
shock from which he never entirely
rallied.

BUSINESS UNDER GOLDEN
RULE

fortunately LOT tnese WOrlO, OCCd-
sionally there are found men and
groups of men who have faith in the
golden rule, fair play. or whatever
one may care to term it, faith enough
to make the effort to put it into prac-
tise, Most are aware that the diff
culties in the way are almost in
superable. Are they quite so? Sue
cess that has attended these efforts
affords basis for hope that the obsta-
cles may be overcome.
When the corporation without a
soul interviewed in the relations of
men, it increased the difficulties to an
alarming extent. Can men acting in
a corporate capacity and those who
indirectly look to the corporation for
their gains. such as the stockholders,
be brought into working conscious
ness, group intelligence and SYM
pathy that will make possible the es-
adjustment of the golden rule in
their relations?
One of the instances of this being
done is that % a large mandatory
Of clothing. the A. Nash Company of
Cincinnati. This concern began the
policy in November 1918 and claims
that it has proved successful, that
the employees have responded to the
effort and are doing their part. AS a
result the company besides paying
better than current wages distributed
$4,000 in bonuses. and a peculiar in
cident connected with this distribu-
ton was that the employees them
selves favored an equal division Of
the surplus rather than pro rata dis
tribution according to size of wage
received.
The new policy is now being sub
jccted to a severe test the burden
of which falls on the concern, which
however, complies with the request
of the employees to have 1t inaugural
ed. 1t is undertaken in the hope Of
furnishing employment at full time
for all the operatives. and amounts
to extending the working Of the gold
en- rule policy to the consumers by
way; of reduction In the price Of the
goods. To make the price such as
was believed necessary to produce
the best results the firm was obliged
to sacrifice at first about $4,000, be-
cause of the cost of material bought
at higher than the present price.
When one considers what a won
derful thing it would be to have busi-
ness relations conducted on that plan
with intelligent appreciation and re-
ward for honest effort, what marvels
of Accomplishment would be possible
with such cooperation. he may we'll
acknowledge that society is under
obligations to those who are pioneers
in the undertaking.
