Reply Of Judge CIeaves

Augusta, Me, Nov. s, 1921.
Hon. John \. Peters,
Member of Congress,
Washington, ID. c.
My dear Petcrs:-
I have your letter of November 3D.,
and have carefully read the same. |
note that YOU use this expression,
whether the Governor has changed
his mind or not I do not know, and
am not awfully interested, so long as
he is right now; but l think he does
not consider that he has radically
changed his position, thoue,; that
may be a matter Of argument" II it
be true that the Governor has not
radically changed his position, then,
as I wrote you in my previous letter,
it is necessary for us to go back to
last winter to ascertain what his
original position was, and We find
that he was in favor of absolutely
full state ownership and control with
all the other features Of state owner-
ship contained in the amendment. If
he still has that as his ultimate goal,
and is now merely seeking to take the
initial step, then his present attitude
has all of the menace which the one
he was apparently in last winter con-
tanned.
I do not know that It is profitable
to continue the argument between you
and me, but do want to disabuse
your mind of any belief that I am
not willing, and have not beer will
ing, to take hold and help Governor
Baxter. When Colonel Parkhurst
died, I found that Speaker Barnes
was very much disturbed over what
might happen because of the change
Of governors. The Sunday after
Governor Parkhurst's funeral spent
nearly four hours with Speaker
Barnes. trying to convince him that
might have had upon various topics
Governor Baxter. charged with the
responsibilities of the office of Clief
Executive, would beyond question
make every effort to become, and re-
main, as good a governor as Maine
had ever had. I believed this also
lutely, and wanted the Speaker 70 be-
lieve it. He failed to ne convinced.
During the entire session of the
Legislature, attempted to assist the
Governor in carrying out such of lis
policies as appeared to have merit.
The only matter in which there was
any considerable disagreement had
to do with the water power matter.
Until I appeared before the Com
mittee, and opposed the Governors
ideas with reference to water powers,
there was no shade OF trouble he
tween him and me. From that time
on he has apparently felt aggrieveA,
and has not hesitated to express his
grievances in perfectly plain language.
l have no feeling whatever against
the Governor. I recognize him MS o
fine type of man. who In most mat
ters has been right. He may be right
in regard to the water power matter.
but master lot of people believe
that he is wrong. and are nightly
concerned over not only his attitude
but the attitude Of relatively small

complicated comedy drama, but he
portrays emotion that has a heart
touch in it. The trend Of the story
carries him from the sublime to the
ridiculous. and although much that
he does is grotesque there is never a
time it is said. when he does not win
your sympathy with his antics.
THE Nut" is especially notable be-
cause 1t is essentially studio pro-

Darwin's Theory of
Primitive Man and
Africa Has Evidence

London, Nov. 10-(By MaiD-Sci-
entists say the Darwinian theory
that Africa may have been the orig
inal home of the human race re-
ceived partial corroboration from the
discovery just made in northern Rho
desia of fossilized skull which gave
new orientation to the early history
Of primitive man.
The skull, which is complete save
for the lower jow, resembles that of
the ape man (pithecanthropus cree
tus) discovered in Java in 1892, which
has been regarded as the most print
tive human skull known until now.
The Java skull, however, lacked a
face. In this respect, the Rhodesian
fossil reveals a type curiously SINH
lar to what is known as the Gibraltar
Skull
Moreover, a collar bone, a leg bone
and part of a hip bone believed to
belong to the skull have also been
unearthcd, and these may enable an
atomists to reconstruct the main
parts of the whole Rhode sian skele-
ton.
The scene of the discovery was
the Bone Cave" of the Broken Hill
mine, already famous for the beauty
of it's stalactites and stalasmites and
for the remarkable fact that the
lime of which they were originally
composed have been largely replaced
by phoSphates of zinc and lead.
1t was the commercial value of
these formations that led to the
transformation of, this cave into one
Of the strangest mines ever worked.
The floor consisted of q mass of
fossilized remains of elephants, lions,
leopards, rhinoceri, hippopotami, an
telopes, birds, bats and small man.
mails. Hundreds of tons of these an
imal remains had been removed, but
no trace of man was discovered until
depth of so feet below water level
was reached, when the bones des-
cribed were found surrounded by
soft friabl9 lead conglomerate.

misunderstanding by Some
About the Soldiers Bonus

Judge Edgar G. Smith, who for
many months has been in charge OF
or assisting with the work of the
Soldiers Bonus Board, notes an in
teresting point in connection with the
amended Bonus law and misunder-
standing on the part of many ex-
service men. Judge Smith said:
THE Soldiers Bonus Board is re-
ceiying from three to 10 letters day
for ex-service men asking in regard
to a new Soldiers bonus to be paid
this year. Most of the letters are In
relation to men from Maine who re-
manned in the army.
In looking up the applications.
names and addresses. we have found
that most of the applicants are men
who have already received the regu-
lar bonus money, 800.
1.-THE misunderstanding evidently
arises through the publicity given the
rcfunding bonds, the reissue on Dec.
/ last of the first 100000 of the
original Soldiers Bonus bonds. The
Council order authorizing the refund
ing showed plainly that the proceeds
of the reissue was to pay the bonus
money authorized under the amended
law.
1.-THE original law provided definite
Iy that the bonus was to be paid only
to men who had their discharge
papers. A large number of men re-
manned in the service. by going into
the regulars and remaining in the
navy The Legislature at its last
session, to take care of these men and
give them the same bonus treatment
received by their comrades who had
been discharged.
Now. many are thinking that 1T is
an additional bonus and one letter
even says the writer understands that
it is to be a yearly bonus. The fact
Is, the amended law simply put the
men remaining in the service on the
same footing as the discharged men.
The time limit for applying for a
bonus was also extended to Dec. 81,
1921 and after that date, there will be
no more bonuses for anyone, until the
Legislature authorizes new one.
The entire Soldiers Bonus law, so far
as paying out is concerned, will
automatically expire with that date"
