Bank Commissioner Fred F. Law
renee Friday rendered decision re-
fusing tho petition Of B. o. & G. c.
Wilson, Incorporated, a Massachu-
sets corporation, for registration as
a dealer in securities in Maine, on
the ground that the applicant, in the
opinion of the bank commissioner,
has not presented evidence suf-
hcient to satisfy him of the elements
required of the statute.
The B. o. & G. C. Wilson, Incorpor-
ated, is engaged in the business and
manufacture and selling patent and
proprietary medicines and kindred
products to retail druggists. Where
stock is sold on the partial payment
plan the subscribers receive no divi-
dend until their stock is fully paid for
and are allowed no interest on the
money paid in, in the meantime,
says Bank Commissioner Lawrence
in his decision. 1.-THE corporation has
the use of the money without any
consideration" continues the decision.
THE total of these liabilities APP
1921 as $153,0S5.
THE accounting methods of the
corporation, at least prior to the pres
ent year, were such that no stock
holder could obtain a fair idea of the
results of the business, and the pres
ident himself described the condition
as chaos.
Attention should further be called
to the high expense Of selling these
securities. Druggists handling the
stock are allowed Is per cent COM
mission, but to the stock statesmen,
through whose efforts presumably
the greater portion of the stock will
be sold, a commission of 80 per cent
will be paid. In other words, only
70 cents of every dollar paid by stock
holders will go into the theasury to
earn dividends for them"
Franklin County Jail Inspection
The State Board of Charities and
Corrections in it's report. of the last
inspection of the Franklin county
Jail at Pennington says:
Sheriff w. Burton Small is on his
18th year of service. Salary, $1,000
a year, acting as turnkey with addi-
tional pay. Lives with family in
Jail residence. Boards the prisoners,
at $3.50 per week. This plan, which
is followed in some of the smaller
county jails, is a convenient one for
the county commissioners, but is no
doubt contrary to both the letter
and spirit of the law upon the sub
ject The price for board last year
was 81 per week. An overseer Of
the wood yard is employed at $1,000
per year. All criminal process fees
are turned into the county, but
sheriff is entitled to civil process
fees.
Sheriff acts as agent Of county
commissioners in purchases for Jail.

DISARMAMENT PROPOSALS

The people have been glad to learn
that the United States delegates to
the disarmament conference viii open
up things at the start with some de-
finite proposals for cutting down the
load OF naval construction. This looks
like business. Unless someone presents
some clear cut proposition, backed
by authoritative information about
naval resources of the various nations,
the whole meeting might blow up
with nothing doing.
1t would seem a fair proposition II
all the leading powers would agree to
stop construction Of practically ali
war vessels this moment for a period
of say five or ten years. II you could
get them to do that, the chances are
they would never begin again.
The United States would have
a favorable position if such action
were taken. Germany, the power it for
merly dreaded the most, is wiped out
as naval power. Our flet would still
be far superior to Japan's. Not many
people ever have believed that Great
Britain would wish or would dare to
attack the United States.
II the United States keeps on aug
menting its fleet, other powers will
keep pace, and the whole world will
rush toward bankruptcy. The United
States might secure itself against the
possibility of attack by doubling or
tripling its fleet, but by so doing 1t
would expose itself to other evils
equally great and far more imminent.
War is a terrible evil but the universal
bankruptcy and revolution would be
worse, and there would be danger of
such an upheaval IL the world keeps
on its present mad race for armed
supremacy.
AS the strongest power in the world,
the United States is the least likely
to be attacked. It can afford to be
generous in making agreements with
other powers, 1t must recognize that
it's recent course in greatly augment
ing its naval forces, has aroused sus--
picion. Other peoples want to know
whom our government is getting
ready to fight.

The Republican party was conceiv--
ed in the iniquitious purposes of pro-
tective tariff, special favors for the
few and oppression for the common
people. 1t was born OF parents pledg-.
ed to the principles of centraliza--
tion Of power and the abridgement Of
the rights of the masses. To these
principles it was dedicated in its in.
fancy, and to these principles it is
consistently adhering during the last
stages of it's existence. The Demo
cratic party, founded by Jefferson the
great champion of the peoples rights
then believed in, and now advocate
the principles of equal opportunity
for all and special privileges for none;
a tariff for revenue only; just and
equitable distribution of the burdens
of taxation; exact justice for all men
OF what ever pursuasion, religious or
political; peace, just and reciprocal
trade relations and honest friendship
with all Nations, with entangling al
liances with none; support Of the
State governments with all their
rights; absolute acquiesence in the
desision of the majority; economy
in the expenditure of public moneys
that the burdens Of the people may be
lightened; freedom Of speech, free
dom OF religion and the inalienable
right Of the people to govern them
selves without interference from any
centralized power presuming to .ex-.
ercise authority over them.
These principles of government
enunciated by Thomas Jefferson are
the controlling forces within the Dem
ocratic Party to-day. They are the
creed of Democratic Faith. They are
the test by which the services OF
those we trust in high places are mea--
sured and those who wandered away
from them in moment of error
should hasten to retrace their steps
and again enter the path which alone
leads to peace, liberty, and safety
Contrast these principles, il you
will, to the aim Of the political party
that is now in control of the Congress
Of the United States. By so doing the
most skeptical will be convinced that
the principles of the two political
parties to-day are not different to
those upon which they were founded.

COOPERATING WITH THE PUB
Lie SCHOOLS mo. S
IInitina cehooI ana Lnna

There are certain problems in which
there is tendacy for the schools and
the home to pass the buck to each
other. The parents find fault because
the young people do not learn faster in
the schools, and the schools are often
able to retort that the pupils have out
side interests and habits that make
good work in the class room imposs-
ible.
Many parents are amazingly ignor--
ant OF the methods by which a fine
type Of young people can be develop
ed. They send their children off to
school with lunches of pickles and
cake and candy, and then think that
the youngsters get pale faces and
anemic bodies as the result Of over
study. They allow their young folks
to be up very frequently until early
morning hours, and then wonder why
the pupils have no pep" the next day
They permit young girls to have un--
limited freedom with all kinds of boys,
and then blame the mixed associations
OF the public schools for low moral
standards. They allow their children
to attend all kinds OF moving pictures
and read all varieties OF sensational
novels and then wonder that the
youngsters think their school lessons
are dull and the teacher has no enthus-
iasm
Here is field of effort which much
more might be done in Stafford. No
matter how much interest our pro-
gressive people may take in educa--
tion, there are always careless homes
that turn their children over to the
schools to be educated with as little
thought as they would turn shoes
over to the cobblers to be repaired.
There ought to be in, connection
with every school. some organiza--
tion in which teachers and parents |
should meet, and discuss the de-
velopment of the young people, and |
the policies on which the school and |
home ought to unite. Parent-teachers
associations and mothers clubs have |
done great good along this line in |
many places, although the parents
that need this contact the most do
not usually get it,

AN easy way for the pink boil worm

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE

The following statement Of facts by
NJ. II. McCalla, Chairman Of theState
Democratic Central Committee, sue
cessfully Contradicts the contention
Of some that the two dominant polit-
ical parties in the United States differ
in name only. The statement of the
chairman follows;
The statement Is often made by
those not well informed that polit-,
ical parties are constantly changing
the principles for which they stand
and that the principles of the two
great parties differ only in the imag,
ination of the people. History does
not bear out this statement; in fact
the reverse is found to be true. The
fundamental principles that under.
lie the Republican and Democratic
parties of today are substantially the
same as those upon which these par
ties were founded.
The division Of the forces of the old
RepublicanDemocratiC party, and
other political parties that long since
ceased to exist in name, crystalized
in the formation of the Republican and
Democratic parties of to-day. Those,
who like Hamilton thinking that the
masses needed to be under a strong
and centralized government, formed
into the present Republican party,
and those who like jefferson believing
that the people were fully capable of
self"government, formed into what is
now called the Democratic party.
The first fundamental difference be-
tween the Republican, and Democratic
parties was upon the construction of
the Federal Constitution. The Repub.-
licans leaned towards liberal con-
struction, while the Democrats insist
ed upon a strict Interpretation of the
Constitution. This difference was,
and is natural one for the reason
that the Democrats adhered to the
theory that the trainers of the Con-
stitution believed in self-government,
while the Republicans believed in the
centralization of the power to govern.

TEN JOBS FOR THE

that women are equal partners in the
enterprise Of progress and associa.
tons OF business men are fast taking

upon women for certain lines of effort.
The following lines OF activity for
women's departments OF such organi-
Iations might be suggested:
characterization work for for

THE HOME TINKERERs

A marchant reports that there has
been much demand of late from
householders for tools with which to
work about their places. Many peo-.
pie have become tired Of the high
cost of having work done, and are
now attending themselves to little
jobs of repairs. Thus they save costs,
and develop their own ingenuity and
mechanical skill. AS result hammers
screwdrivers, lawn mowers, paint
brushes, etc have had an extra good
sale
The home tinkerer takes more
pride in his dwelling than IL he de-
pended on hired help. He is melted
to make little improvements, to re-
move disorder, and beautify his
grounds, Every householder in
Stafford should cultivate the habit Of
home tinkering.
