ABoLIsHEs SOUTHERN DISGRACE.

The Republican national committee has finally
abolished what has stood as a disgrace to the party for
many years and has caused more friction than all the
rest of fractional politics ever injected into any pre-
convention presidential campaign. The national com
mittee has at last worked up the courage to reduce
the representation from the southern states and placed
it upon something of a fair apportionment basis by
cutting off some twenty-three delegates.
This action has been talked for the past thirty years.
The party will rejoice that it has at last been done.

THE ROAD TO RICHES.

The farmer, whom the world salutes
With deferential care,
Once wore his trousers in his boots
And hayseed in his hair,
While those with patent leather shoes
And neckties all intense
In idle moments would amuse
Themselves at his expense.
Now when I see the farmer man
In opulence draw near
Ny costume with regret I scan
And think it cost me dear;
Would 1 had delved among thearoots
Out in the open air
And worn my trousers in my boots
And Eayseed in ms hair.

The Real industrial Autocracy'

(From the New York Tribune)
We do not wish to insult Mr.. Com
pers by SuppoSing that he meant his
remarks touching the open shop to be
taken seriously. Certainly not many
OF the American people will be dis
posed to take them seriously To call
the open shop industrial autocracy'
and accuse it of excluding union
workmen and comparable to the
achievements of Kaiser Wilhelm is to
talk just absurdity.
Practically everywhere that the
open shop prevails no applicant for a
job is asked whether he is a union
man or not. The union man works
side by side with the non union man
that is the theory of the open shop
and that is its almost universal prac-
tice. 1t is the antithesis of autocracy
1t we'll deserves the title of the
American shop"
If Mr.. Gompers is looking for an
industrial autocracy," almost any
plain American citizen can point one
out to him in a local union of the
autocratic type. The workings of
, Va =
put, in closely limiting the numbers
of apprentices and members in keep
ing non-members out of Jobs
whether they starve or not-are a
familiar story now to everyone Ev-
cry word that Mr. Gompers sought to
apply to the capitalist fits these ty-
rannical unions accurately.
If the rehabilitated Americon WOW
chant marine is to make secure its
place upon the Seven Seas it must
be by virtue of the skill, economy and
efficiency with which it is operated

Editors Letter Box
A Right to Our Opinion

Editor Kcnnebcc Journal:
l have read with much interest the
various letters in the K. J. regarding
the Daylight Saving, and while l am
not a farmer, and am sorry that they
are losing so much sleep l feel posi-
tive that / put in as many working
hours out of every "a as any farmer.
and 1 would suggest that those who
are feeling the loss of that hours
sleep had better rise at o'clock for
you know that that would be ! o'clock
by Gods time and in so doing you
would not get away from your old
habits.
Mr.. Chesly speaks of burning the
midnight OIL but 1 have always no.
ticed that in an ordinary season one
could get along quite nicely after 8
o'clock without a lantern.
In Fridays issue Mr.. Soule would
have us understand that all those who
voted for Daylight Saving were either
sports" or "bedridden."
FORTUNATELY 1 don't own an au-
tomobile, (not even Ford) cannot stop
to play ball. don't know how to play
golf. so 1 did the next best thing. 1
voted for Daylight Saving, and did it
for my own interest and if one can
judge anything by the taste of the
letters which we have been asked to
read I think that we are all looking
out for No. 1.
We have always been taught that
this was a free country, and If that is
true I think that we have, or at least
should have the right to vote as we
feel, too, without being classed as a
Bolshevik, as Mr.. Donaghy of Gardi-
ner terms it.
Not wishing to get into any argu-
ment with the ladies 1 shall refrain
from criticising "A Strenuous obiec-
ter's" letter in Fridays issue.

TO SHUT OFF GRAFTERS

A regretable but characteristic
phase of Democratic office-holders'
tendency to be very carefully looking
after their personal selves has been
encountered in Washington, namely,
the resignation of numerous officials
in order to take advantage of infor-
nation acquired in the government
service and use the same in private
business. Representative Edmunds
of Pennsylvania, to shut off some of
this somewhat questionable practice,
has introduced a bill to prohibit the
prosecution of claims against the
United States by any former govern
ment employee.
1t is also said that an investiga-
ton has been threatened, so fragrant
have been some of the cases of res
ignation from government positions.
Mr.. Edmunds' bill provides that no
officer, clerk, or employee in any de-
partment shall, while so employed or
for three years after separation from
the service. act as counsel, agent or
attorney for the prosecution of any
claim against the United States where
he was employed. A fine of from
$1,000 to $4,000 and Imprisonment of
from one to ten years are imposed
as penalty for violation of the act.

LESSON FROM THE MOCK SEs-
SIONS

It happened several weeks ago, but
It good, just the same. They were
standing in the third floor corridor
at Names Capitol, watching the play
of the members Of the House in con-
nection with the mock session" dur
ing the closing night OF the S0th
Maine Legislature. Everyone was
good natured and full Of fun, life and
pep. Good feeling and comradeship
was the order Of the day, or night.
AS a delegation from the House left
the presence Of the staid and sedate
senators, after having given one OF
their stunts, one Of the men watching
the affair remarked:
''They ought to have a mock session
about at the end Of the second or
third week Of the session, so that ev-
eryone could get acquainted, find out
what really good fellow each was
and get together in a business way
and turn off the business of the State
with quickness and dispatch, as well
as a better understanding of each
other and each others wants and
needs. I believe that the business
would be done better and more expe-
d;tiously.
And then, at the end of the ses-
sion, as has for years been the Gus
tom, have the regular mock session,
making it a celebration of what had
been accomplished. They would have
plenty of Incidents and events on
which to base their fun program, but
1 believe the scheme would work, and
! 1 am serious in so saying"
All of which is told merely to bring
UP the get together" proposition
Get acquainted and learn each others
ways and customs, as we'll as each
others needs and wants, and a whole
lot can be accomplished, that to view
from an individual standpoint seem
formidable and much more difficult
than it really is. Now is good
chance to get together on many mat
tiers for the good of our city, our
country and our State. Go to it.
