Deerina and the S. n. c.

In a statement to the Express today
Philip j. Decring of this city declared
that he was not a candidate for re-
appointment to the State Highway
commission, as announced from Au-
gusta yesterday. He possibly might
consider the. position if ii developed
that Governor Baxter did not intend
to call a special election on the full
time commission referendum this fall
as this would make the present COM
mission hold in Office until October,
1922 If, however, he does not, Mr..
Deering will not consider the office
for a moment He is not candidate
for the full time commission, and to
sum up his position he will not con-
slider the Office at all unless it is the
expressed desire of Governor Baxter
to keep the present commission in
tact until the full-time board takes
Office if the people decide in favor of
the change.
In case of the long list of highway
commission candidates which Angus
ia announced, it should have been
stated that several of these are cam
uludteS oillN loi luil -tIiiie SoiiliiiiS74OA
and would not consider a part time
commission appointment at all
Among the. list, also are several who
are receptive candidates only. They
will not make any campaign for the
office but because of their great in
terest in the cause of good roads in
Maine will accept an appointment If
rendered them without oposition.-

Smashing Big: Bill
At the Colonial
For Today

A good bill and a big bill is what
Manager Appleby has provided for
the Colonial theatre for today 1t is
probably, the biggest one of the week
and there is little doubt that it will
prove the most enjoyable. The fea-
ture attraction is VIM. D. Taylor
Realart production The Soul of
Youth"
Good as this is, however, it will
have to share the honors with The
High Sign" in which Buster Keaton
is the star. Buster has been coming
like a tornado lately and each sue
ceeding comedy seems better than the
one before. This one is positively the
finest two reel feature in the season.
Big Game" Pathe comedy and
Pathe Review are other offerings.
Rarely has there been screen play
with such genuine human appeal as
is to be found in The Soul of Youth. !"
The youth in case is Lewis Sargent
who won national recognition
through his delineation of the role of
Huckleberry Finn.
The story is conferred around a boy
who grows up in a founding home,
and shows his unhappy life in that
institution where he gains the repu-
tation of being the worst boy in the
place, and his subsequent experiences
after he departs from the loveless
home to make his way in the city
streets. The story contains a
strong counter-plot of political
intrigue, and the boy, after
being adopted by Mr.. Ham,
ilton, the young, clean government
candidate, puts over the big climax
that saves the day for the law and
order faction and makes him the hero
of the hour.-Ady.

Governor Baxter Wants
Automobile Laws Enforced

Governor Baxter is entirely IN
favor of a rigid enforcement OF all
the motor vehicle laws. The matter
was under discussion Friday before
the Governor and Council, various
phases of conditions being mentioned
and all of the Councillors expressing
the convition that nothing but a
rigid and impartial enforcement
would take care of the present cpl
dernic OF reckless driving, the cause
of most of the automobile accidents.
| One councillor said he had expert
enced something Thursday evening
that led him to think that in some
cases there was something beside
mere carelessness He said he was
driving with his family in their car
and had to negotiate hard hill. He
was in plain sight of another auto
mobile, a much larger car, the driver
of which could see him and what he
was doing, but instead of giving him
a chance, deliberately backed into
the road and would have run into his
car, had he not taken the ditch. The
other driver evidently wanted to get
into the road ahead of him.
I We'll" said Governor Baxter, Il
myself had an experience last night
on my way here. My car was
descending a little hill, a short dis
lance down river from here and sud
denly / found that both brakes were
absolutely useless. / was going down

cause I couldn't help it. All | could
do was to steer the car around a
team and one or two other autos, I'M

was brought to standstill SO. If
YOU councillors hear of any complaint
Of reckless driving against me, you
should speak a good word for me-"
| "BL. seriously, gentlemen. l have
been talking with Mr.. Shorey, the
chief Vi the new division of Motor
t Vehicles, State Highway Commits
sion, and l told him that I wanted

letter an6 I am convinced that he is

laws enforced to the letter. not with
s!oved hands, but openly and to the
/ INIT Of tie spi'it Of the law. We
must make our highways safe for the
travelling public and for everybody"
! 1t is needless to say that every
councillor agreed with the Governor.
