"MANUAL OF MAINE
GOVT" AN ATTRACTIVE
AND POPULAR BOOK

Yes, the Manual is becoming very
popular and everybody who writes
be about if, says it is just what they
have been wanting" said Miss Ma
rian f. Brown, executive secretary OF
the Republican State Committee, on
Thursday, in reference to the recep-
ton by the women voters of the Man
nal of Maine Government which the
their use in getting the rudiments of
their political education.
When it was first proposed to issue
Il book on government for the Ma me
women voters. questions were imme-
diately raised as to whether such an
undert akinG could lie successfully
carried out and whether the book
would he sufficiently attractive and
interesting to become popular. The
committee had faith in the idea and
in the real desire Of Maine women to
get "wised up" on the mysteries and
intracacieS of politics and selected
Henry F.. DUnnack. the State librari-
an, to compile handbook which
should give in simple language and in
brief but comprehensive volume an
outline of the government of the State
Of Maine. explaining and defining its
three great divisions, its many de-
partmentS. boards and commissions
and giving an idea of the duties and
functions of each
The result of Mr.. Dunnack's work
is the Manual of Maine Govern
mont" which was published in Feb
ruary and which, since its appearance
has constantly been finding its way
into the hands of an increasing num-
her Of citizens, both men and women.
who are glad to he able TO get a clear
and concise idea of what the States
business is and how it is done.
The book contains not only de-
scriptiOn of the State government,
but also equally interesting chapters
on town, city and county government.
and court procedure in this State. and
there is one section of it which out
lines the national government.
The headquarters office of the Re
publican State Committee in this
city is the distributing agency for the
book. and Miss Brown says that its
fame has already gone abroad in 9TH
err states, She has requests for the
book from South Carolina and Flori-
da and the Republican women of
Connecticut have recently become in
terested in it. They are soon to issue
some sort of political text book for
their women voters and are much
pleased with the Maine Manual as q
model. Minnesota and Massachu-
sets and some other states have al
ready published similar handbooks.
but the Maine book yields to none of
them in clearness, thoroughness and
attractiveness.
The Republican women of Maine,
with their thorough organization and
their overwhelming vote, made a dis
unct impression upon the rest of the
nation in the last election. and it is
the aim of the Republican women
state leaders to keep the Maine wo-
men so well versed and so interested
IN political affairs that tn impression
shall become permanent.

Technical Rule
May Bar Schooner
MaYhOWer in Race

Halifax. N. s., May 12.-Possible
complications over the entry OF the
Boston fishing schooner Mayf1ower in
the annual North Atlantic fishing
feet races this summer, arose today
when the Halifax Herald, donor OF
the trophy, protested the late arrival
banks.
The Herald in special article,
pointed out that the rules for all en-
tries demand that the ships must
have left their last port of call for the
fishing banks not later than April 30.
The Mayf1ower, on her way to the
banks, put in at the Magdelen Is
lands on May 10. The Herald added
that under the deed Of gift, the May
flower should have been on the
banks riding out the spring gales for
the past two weeks"
The Blue Nose, presumptive Can
adian challenger in the race. left port
for the banks on April %.
Claims Rules Complied With
Boston. May 12.-Roy w. Pigee.
chairman of the Schooner Mayf1ower
Association which built the vessel
that is to represent this country in
the international fishermens' races
next fall tonight asserted that the
American defender had complied with
the stipulations of the Halifax Her
aid. donor of the trophy. in leaving
for the fishing banks before April 80.
The Mayflower sailed for Boston on
April %.
1--WE do not deny that the Mayflow-
err has taken her time getting out to
the banks" said Mr.. Pigeon, but we
wish to add that we here in Boston
don't know just what Captain Lar
kin has been up against. If he was
unusually hampered by fog. thick
weather and storms, we don't blame
him for not putting off to the banks.
There is no requirement that either
schooner shall be on the fishing banks
at any stipulated date and | can't see
the point of the Halifax Herald's
criticisms"
Mr.. Pigeon said the owners of the
MaNilower objected strongly to intim-
atoms the schooner was a toy boat
and not a fishing vessel, and offered
the Canadians Il challenge to AN
open sea race" next winter.
"The Mayfiower was built for a
fishing vessel" he added, land will
be in commission during January
February and March just as she is
today and we will welcome a real
race under the toughest winter con-
ditions."

President S Cabinet
Not a Legal Body

Every four years when a new
president takes his office the
American people hear a great
deal about lis cabinet. " One
would think that the cabinet is
the greatest body in the coun-
try, at least able to put through
great acts and measures.
As a matter of fact, the pre-
sidcnt 5 cabinet" as such has
no legal existence or powers.
In creating the departments
132 year ago, Congress author
lied secretaries to head them,
but no mention was made in
the law Of IA cabinet or a cabi-
net counciu. Their secreta-
rics were to be advisers Of the
president and to conduct the
various government business
1mder their charge according
TO the laws provided by Con-
gress.

ington called his secretaries

If each secretary's important F.,
