Dr. J. M. Reynolds of Naylor Attri butes Lynching to Lax Enforce
 ment of Law.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Please allow me space in your valu- able paper to give a few thoughts to the public. 1 want to compliment our circuit judge, MT. Clark, for deferring the circuit court till January so our governors time will be out and he will not have such a good chance to par don the convicts that may be found guilty of violating our criminal laws.
 We hear a great many of our officers condemning the lynch law. So any honest man does oppose it, but we must have the criminals punished, and if the officers of our state will not let them be punished they cant expect anything else but for the lynching law to go into effect.
 We cant read a newspaper more than one or two issues but that we see where some one has been mur- dered and some bandits have held up some one and robbed him and some postoffice or mail train has been held up and robbed If the rulers of our country won't let persons guilty of such crimes be punished, how are we to put up with them? We see our governors pitying the convicts because they are having such hard time in jail, pitying the murderer for having to be sent to the electric chair These they commute to life imprisonment and in short time they will issue a par don to them and turn them loose. There is much pity for the criminals, but you don't hear any sympathy ex- pressed for those whom the crimes were committed against. As I see it, it gives room for the public to think that the governor gets pay for using the pardoning power so freely.
 We read that Governor Brough is-

Congressman Whites Bill
portland PresSl

Congressman Wallace II. White, an
influential member of the merchant
marine committee, has prepared a bill
which will revolutionize the radio
business in this country and will, if
it be enacted, help to give the United
States the control of the communica-
lions by means of the air as Great
Britain now controls communication
by means of cables. Mr.. White has
drafted this bill after consulta ton
with the experts upon radio matters
IN this country and has given it
great deal of his attention. 1t is the
opinion of all who have been given a
chance to examine the provisions of
the proposed law that Mr.. White has
hit upon the proper method of regu-
lating this business and that his bill
will so advance the interests of the
United States as to prove of inesti-
mable value to commerce in time Of
peace and materially assist the ma
ton in time of war.
This is one of the constructive
pieces of legislation that the Maine
Congressman is working upon. He
has gained the reputation in Wash
ington. as well as his own State. of
being very hard working represent

gressive lines and who devotes a very

this man Good which are mighty i'll
teresting at this particular time when
the air is full of criticism of public
men, especially those connected with
cost plus contracts. He served as
chairman Of the House Committee on
Appropriations and in that capacity
is said to have helped save the Gov
eminent by his supervision more
than four billion dollars. If he had
had a contract for percentage on
what he had saved he might retire
now a millionaire. The government
did not award any commission for
saving money, however. but James

into public life and the country does
profit from their efforts, though often
failing to appreciate what they do.

The Democrats made a rather sor

the administration and Congress re-
Gently. On the whole their effort
rather helped to emphasize what had
been accomplished and called atten-
ton to it. Floor Leader Mondell
contributed few remarks addressed
to them on that occasion. He said:
I'VE were few days late in get
ting started, owing to the fact that
the minority did not have their COM
mittee places filled. Since that time
by unanimous consent we have sew
eral times adjourned over Saturday
And may I suggest to the gentleman
from Texas and to the other gentle
men on that side that if that is held
to be killing time I shall not here
after prefer any request for unaii-
nous consent to adjourn over Sat-
urday? Notwithstanding these ad-
journments, for which they have
pleaded, we have worked more con-
tinuously and diligently and have
passed more good legislation through
the House in this session of Congress
than in any like period during the

gress, and no one can deny that fact"

over and over that they will respond
to an appeal for humanity and JUS
tice. There is no comparison be-
tween the prosperity call, and that
for war. The hardships and sacri-
fees in the war call were great ana
that to fight foreign foe; whereas
this call for humanity to have a
chance to work and live, is one that
should appeal to every man, woman
and child. Even the selfish rich, (and
all rich are not selfish) would be
benefited by a prosperity wave.
God has smiled down upon his err
ing children with seed time ind har-
vest. and all they have to do is to
reach out and eat. drink and be mer-
ry.
We will have to talk. walk live and
preach prosperity, and create a SEN
timent that win demand that the
people meet these demands, that they
cooperate in prices and wages. that
they get fear out of their minds and
put optimism instead. that they pro-
duce literally and consume accord
ingly.
1t is the optimistic newspaper edi-
tors of the country who have kept JUS
from having a panic that would put
Ancient Egypt to shame. They held
out star OF hope and have given
out all the optimistic news bearing
on the possibility of better times they
could. This alone will not bring on
better times. it will take cooperative
effort and concerted action. This
prosperity drive should be predicated
ON faith in God.
In my former communication on
prosperity, l overlooked the enacting
clause.

decades. to bring that industrial life
and development which is SO much
needed within the borders of our
State. carrying to competition a work
which has called for the utmost
courage. vigor. breadth of vision and
faith in the future. In the working
out of this stupendous undertaking
a river of gold has literally flowed
through the channels of trade in
eastern Maine in the purchase of
the vast quantities of supplies need

feed the small army Of horses and
to supply to those men the tools
with which to do their work. The
