His Ambition to Serve State
portland Press)

1t was Governor Parkhurst's great
ambition to serve Maine in the high
est office her people have to bestow.
He frequently stated in his public adj
dresses and in private conversation
that 1t was his one and only ambition.
He had fitted himself for this posi-
ton by years of study and hard work.
After one unsuccessful attempt in
1915, to win the Republican nomina-
ton Governor Parkhurst wasted no
time in vain regrets or recrimina-
tions. He gave his loyal support to
the man who had temporarily de-
feated his ambition and waited for
him to fill out the customary term of
four years. Then he came again be-
fore the people Of the State and in an
exciting primary contest achieved his
goal 1t was his courage, his fairness
and his optimism which finally led
him to victory. These same quail
ties and the self sacrificing attempts
to help his friends commended Gov
ernor Parkhurst to many people

Editorial Comment
A Better Way Will Be Found
(Architecture.)

There is always something of an
affront to the average intelligence in
hearing some incorrigible optimist
iterate and reiterate his everlasting
slogan of keep smiling, good times
are coming. the worst is over" and
yet if we all sit tight in our own little
corners of discomfort and discourage
ment, it would be a still worse world.
The trouble with the incorrigible
optimist is too often simply the fact
that he has found the shedding rather
better than he expected and his prob
lens thereby made easier.
The real optimist is the man who
has had his soul tried, and can yet
pull himself together and make ready
with foundation of clear thinking
and acceptance of facts for the fight
ahead.
4Ie knows all about what has been,
where and why he has failed. and
knowing, he sets out to put his hard
experience to better use.
We have certainly had a surfeit of
revelations concerning rottenness and
graft in the building trades, and the
trail of the profiteer has been blazed
so plainly that even the blind may
follow. During the war the govern
ment put a stop to general building;
since the war a general chaos has
followed. Blame it on George" for
there doesn't seem to be any way of
definitely placing the responsibility on
any one group of persons or condi-
tions.
We all know that times have been
difficult for architects, and we all
hope the times are surely going to be
better. Thousands of homes must be
built, thousands of factories and
buildings, and they are going to
be built, and the architects are going
to build most of them. There are
signs of better times. even If they are
not yet lighted by electricity for all to
see. The problem of reimbursement
must and can be solved-not in day,
a month, a year, but 1t will be solved,
and somehow we believe there is go
ing to be a new light in the land that
will point the way to better under
standing between capital and labor
and a fairer adjustment of prices be-
tween buyer and seller. Optimist
No! Here is the answer: If we can't
do business under present conditions,
and business must be done, then a
better way will be found for doing it,!
The air has been considerably
cleared by recent exposures of graft,
iniquitous combinations. and uncon-
scionable profiteering. We better
know where we are at" and know
ing, we may act accordingly.

PRESS TRIBUTES TO LATE
GOVERNOR
(Boston Transcript

In the death of Frederic Hale Park
hurst, who assumed Office as govern
or of the State less than a month ago,
Maine loses a son whose life was
largely spent in her service and who
brought to his labors for the COM
mon good lofty conception Of the
duties of the citizen, a deep and
abiding affection for sthe State in
which he was born and lived, and
practical abilities of a high order. AS
Maine people recall his life they may
properly take pride in his unselfish
and enthusiastic efforts in support of
those things which tended to make
the State a better place in which to
live. He will be remembered as q
man who never faltered in his devo-
ton to her interests, who had visions
of great things remaining to be ac-
complished, and in whose express
sions of the faith that was in him
there was never discernibIe a note of
pessimism. He believed in Maine,
and he received many evidences that
Maine people believed in him. The
great plurality by which he was
elected governor was, in part, a re-
Election of that regard. 1t gave indi-
cations of future honors that might
have been his had his life been
spared. AS it is, his devotion to his
State and his labors in her service
should serve to make his life an en-
during inspiration for his fellow cit
liens. ..-.
