One provision of the highway
traffic laws which is being common
ly violated is that requiring lights
after dark on horse-drawn vehicles
We have seen indications of a stub
bornness on the part of some driv-
ers, who view the law as made for
motorists, and seem to take the po-
sition that as horses were here first,
they should not be required to sub
nit to ''new-fangled notions" This
is not the right attitude. The auto
mobile is here, it has come to stay,
and its rights on the road must be
recognized. The law requiring
lights on horse-drawn vehicles is
more for the protection of the horse
owner than the motorist, for in case
of collision, the former is most like
ly tosuffer the greater damage If he
is driving without lights and an
automobile runs into him, even
though he is on his own side of the
road, he has no redress. Caution
and common sense should cause OBJ
-servance of this law.

ELLSWORTH SCHOOL NOTES.
(By Supt. II. E. Henry)

The United States department OF
education has designated the week
Dec, 40 as Education Week." and
it is expected that the week will be
emphasized throughout all schools
of America. This will be an ap-
propriate time to renew the drive
for new high school building in
Ellsworth, and it is hoped the above
dates will be open to the schools.
New flagpoles are to be erected on
the grounds of the Pine street and
School street schools. The law re-
quires that flags shall be provided
for all schools with suitable means
for displaying the same, and that
they shall be displayed at all times
when it is suitable,
The school board has authorized
the superintendent to grant a holt
day to the teachers on Friday, Nov.
25, provided they will make up the
time or forfeit the salary.
"A few pupils are still being de-
tanned from school in spite of the
fact that the health officer has pro-
nounced the schoolhouse perfectly
sanitary. This violation of the law
is costing the city of Ellsworth at
least 500 a week, since the State
school fund for the ensuing year will
be based upon the aggregate at
tendance in the schools instead of
upon the number between five and
twenty-one years of age as hereto
fore
Tuition bills for the fall term of
the high school have just been sent
out, and it is to be hoped that they
will be paid promptly; otherwise the
tuition pupils will be excluded I'M
til the tuition is paid.
l wonder if it is generally under
stood that the agricultural course
in the high school is to be open to
students outside the school No ap-
plicatiOns have thus far been re-
ceived at the superintendent Of
fee.
The patriotic spirit displayed in
Ellsworth toward the sons of
America who laid down their lives
for world freedom on the soil of
Europe is gratifying. Now let us
have the same spirit shown toward
the living boys and girls of our city,
and give them the proper facilities
for obtaining an education, and at
the same time let the youth of our
city prove themselves worthy of our
best efforts by showing a proper re-
gard for the school property now in
use, a proper regard for their
teachers, and, in fact, all constituted
authority.
1t is of utmost Importance that
Americanism and good citizenship
shall be taught in the public schools,
but would 1T not also be a demon
stration of good citizenship if places
of business were closed on Sunday?
! am quite sure that no financial loss
would result to persons who would
thus set a good example to the grow
ing generation.

The United States representatives
to the Washington conference stand
firmly by the ratio of naval strength
as between England. the United
States and Japan, as contained in
the original proposal for naval dis
armament, and Japan, after re-
questing that her relative strength
be increased, seems inclined not to
press the matter, in which the other
nations are agreed. The reduction
of naval armament suggested is
based on the present relative
strength of the navies, and to
change the ratio would be contrary
to the fundamental principle of the
whole plan, and open the door to re-
quests from other powers, and COM
petitive building again, which is
just what it is hoped to do away
with.

John A.. Peters, who has just been
confirmed by the Senate as Judge of
the United States district court of
this district, has been long in public
life in Maine and has proven worthy
of every responsibility that has been
reposed in him.
native of the city of Ellsworth, a
member OF a distinguished Maine fam
lily, and a graduate of Bowdoin coll
lege, he is a Maine man to the core
and representative of the best tradi-
lions OF this State.
Judge Peters first entered public life
when he was appointed judge of the
municipal court of Ellsworth. He de-
cined reappointment to this Office in
1908, and in 1909 was elected to the
Maine House of Representatives,
where he served three terms. the last
as speaker. In 1913 he was chosen to
represent the Third Maine district in
Congress to succeed the late Forrest
Goodwin, and he has continued in that
position up to the present time.
AS congressman, Judge Peters has
done notable service for the State and
the Nation. His breadth of mind, his
culture, his keen, incsive intellect
and his comprehensive knowledge OF
public affairs have given him a dis.
finction in the National House such
as few New England men of our tim,
have enjoyed. He has looked after
the Interests of his State and distric
carefully, but he has been a ma
tional legislator as we'll, and ha
made his influence felt in framing
much Of the important general legis
lation which Congress has had unde
consideration.
AS the presiding justice of one {
the most important courts of tn
country, Judge Peters assumes ne
and different responsibilities fro
those which have previously been hi
in that he ceases to be a law max,
and becomes an interpreter and a.
ministrator of the law. For these ne
duties he is amply equipped. He h
been devoted student of the la
from the time that he made it his DR.
fession, and few are more learned
all it's branches than he. He possess
the judicial temperament to a mark
degree, is conservative and is endow
with strong sense of justice JUDD
Peters succeeds an eminent line of
learned and able men as Maine HI
produced. The position which he W
occupy has been graced by jurists
marked distinction and intellectu
brilliancy. That he will be a worth
successor to those who have gone b
fore him may be assured.
