"CHRISTY' STAYS AT HOME,

Christy Mathewson, one of the most famous of the baseball pitchers of the world, is at Saranac Lake today with his wife and child. He and they are happy in his returning strength, and he is quietly smiling Perhaps he is one who has learned what health happiness means "-.-

That game would have been granted to the Giants before he stepped out to pitch the first ball, so great was the recognition of his power. HA would have won the game and would have aken the victory as quietly, as calm ly as he is now taking his sickness, which it was thought would be fatal. Recently thousands gathered at the old working-home, the Polo p' U JiIuSy Ol IolS OLA dIlu pdlO ITlUuLG to him.

PLEASANT THINGS.

The organ recitals have commenced at the South church; the service at St. Marks are now made more beau tiful by the splendid singing to be heard; the other churches are prepar- ing to make their services more a. tractive-to brighten the day for everyone.
 Our local musical clubs are pre- pairing for their pleasant winter work, not all for their own members, but for the public as well; everyone seems to speak the word of encoura cement, to the detriment of mournfulness.
 We are passing through a period of unpleasantness, of tragedy, Think as little of it as we are able, no matter how shocking it may seem. Other communities have their sorrow-th cir matters to worry about.
 But for our own sake and for the sake of the city in which we live, may it not be possible that there shall be turning from the awful things, to those which bring joy and pleasure? |? Give credit to churches and socie- ties and organizations of every sort in their attempts to make the day brighter, encourage them, where you can by attending their entertainments The sun is shining today, but few clouds in the sky Let the sunshine be imagined in the promise of life. Do your hard part and be grateful that you have a part to do. Never was there time when cheerfulness and encourag cement and sympathy were so needed. May we all be. human and not ashamed to let that humanity be shown.

discuss the attitude those organiza

presentation of the allied ultimatum
regarding reparations. There was hope
in some quarters that an agreement
would be reached by the two parties to
participate in the formation OF a cabi-

which resigned last week.
DR.. Wilhelm Mayer, German ambas-
sador to France. has declined the invi-

party continues its attitude of reserve.
The leader of the latter organization,

opposed to acceptance of the allied

that many of the signatures had been

requirements of the referendum law had
not been complied with. A hearing was
held IN Augusta. Governor Baxter sus-
tanned these claims, and decided AGAINST
the referendum. After reading the Gov
eGnor's reasons we think the people of
the State will approve his decision,
Governor Baxter said:
Under the Constitution and laws of
Maine 1t is incumbent upon the Governor
TO decide whether or not petitions, filed
for a Referendum or a legislative act.

throughout the State and 1880 names
were secured. More than forty witnesses
were summoned to Augusta From the
TESTIMONY presented under oath 1t ap-
peared that many names on the petitions
were forgeres, that many of the petitions
were sworn to as having been signed in
the presence of the atteSting petitioner
and IN several cases it was esta blished by
the witnesses at the hearing that the
persons who swore that the '|sgnatures
OF All the petitioners are the original and
authentic signatures of the same persons
whose names the clerk has certified there

signatures on the petition and diQ not
even see single name placed thereon.
The people of Maine have right to call
Tor referendum provided the legal re-
qulrements are complied with, but great
care should be exercised in securing the
names OF petitioners. A Referendum
should be deliberately entered upon and
should not become effectual unless those
who signed the petition actually knew
what sort OF document they were sign
ing and were actually interested to Sc
cure referendum. The will of the peo-
pie, as expressed by law passed by the
Legislature, should not be over ridden,
unless the people themselves really desire
that this should be done. The intent of
the people can only be obtained through
petitions, and if petitioners names are
obtained in any manner other than what
IL legal and proper the will of the people
is thwarted.
The Governor is of the opinion that in
the future greater care should be taken in
securing names on Referendum petitions,
so that it will not become merely matter
of paying SO much per name regardless of
whether or not those who sign the Pc
titions realize what they are doing. The
