CRAZY TIMES

Strike and the world strikes with you,
work and you work alone; our souls are
ablaze with Bolshevik craze, the Wild
est that was ever known. Groan and
there'n be a chorus, smile and you'll
make no hit; for we've grown long hair
and we preach despair and show you a
daily fit. Spend and the gang will cheer
you, save and you have no friend; for we
throw our bucks to the birds and ducks
and borrow from all who'll lend. Knock
and you'll be winner, boost and you'll
be frost; for the old sane ways of the
pre-war days are now from the program
lost. Strike and the world strikes with
you, work and you work alone; for we'd
rather yell and raise blue hell than work
for an honest bone. Rant and you are
leader, toll and you are a nut; twas a
bitter day when we pulled away from the
oldtime workday rut. Wait and there'll
be blowup, watch and you'll see a
slump; for the fads and crimes of these
crazy times will 60 to the nations dump.

LIZARDS NOT DANGEROUS.

There prevails general impression
that lizards are poisonous. Because of
this a person in Skowhegan recently
wrote Miss Edith NJ Patch, State ento-
mologist, in regard to the matter and re-
ceived letter, part of which is given
below, as it is of general interest: "There
are no harmful lizarJs in Maine; and there
is no reason why the creature should be
killed. In regard to the habits of our
common newt, it is said to quit the water
when about four inches long and to live
in damp, woodsy places for two years or
SO, growing slowly during this time. Then
it again seeks the water and a mate.
The eggs are laid single, and after about
two weeks tadpole matches. These an
finals are, in all stages, as harmless as
frogs. Their diet consists of insects and
worms"

By Mrs. Grace H. Thompson, Bangor
American citizenship means more than
freedom for all. 1t mtans justice for all
and justice from all, etery man as fair to
his neighbor as to hi! nself, One of the
requirements for good:citizenship is men
tai alertness and strength. There is no
place in our civilization for mental azi-
ness.
Years ago in England William Ewart
Gladstone, when bidding goodbye to some
prominent Americans about to sail for the
homeland said: ''LooR out that you fell
lows do not make failure of your form
of government. Every country over here
is watching you to se9lt you can make 1t
60. Don't you fail thf world"
In these DAYS not OILY the eyes of the
world are upon US buttthe steps of leaders
in government are fiading their way to
this land to investigate this citizenship,
to find out if it has bot ne the test of time
and if the details APPLIED to European
and Asiatic problems will give the solu-
ton. 1t behooves every State, every
town, every individua, to make an ex-
ertion toward keeping this American
household in order.
Fearless progressive measures well
thought out, conservatively and soberly
put into operation, will keep this living
America moving forward In the right
direction. But you SLY that plan asks
for much wisdom. OF course 1t does.
Isn't active, working wisdom desirable
thing to possess? Then possess 1t. Did
it perish with our ancestors? think not.
We have but three, organized instltu-
tionS through which tive can reach and
instruct the people, the home, the church,
with its Sunday school and the secular
school, Unfortunately in the home some
get this proper training and some do not.
The church and Sunday school reaches
some of the people fora part OF the time,
but compulsory attendance at school and
attendance at collegel offer a chance tC
give continuous training to students OF
the same age, under tk3e leadership of one
mind, all of the time.

ITALY STANDS BY u. S:

Italy supports the United States in its
stand on the Japanese mandate over
zap. Official replies to the Hughes note
have not yet been received from France
and Great Britain, but the tone of the
Italian reply indicates the post ion that
will be taken by the others. No other
contention is possible, as the arguments
in the American note are simply I'M
answerable. Japan claims the island by
right of the mandate, such as it is, that
she has received, but there was no au-
thority, either in the Versailles Treaty
or otherwise, for its grant. If the Japs
wish to preserve the respect of the rest
Of the world they will gracefully with
draw from the impossible attitude to-
ward Yap they have assumed.

FAVORABLE SIGNS.

The recent rise I'm exchange, the
Improvement In the bond market. the
decrease I'm the number OF unemployed
and the awakening interest even at
this early day in next years building
operations are all favorable signs. a
few days ago Secretary Hoover said
that though the situation I'm Europe
was bad. the outlook was much less
gloomy than was generally supposed.
Word comes from both London and
Paris that business men and bankers
feel the tide has turned-or at least
Is turning-snd the feeling In both
capitals Is distinctly cheerful
Not the least inspiring and helpful
influence Is the belief of other nations
--abundantly justi6ed-that America
is not going TO stand aside and allow
the world to go to the devil in its own
way. but il. on the contrary. going to
do her part in the great work that
must be done If ruin is to be averted
Finally, the American people have re-
covered their old vision and are again
led by the splendid ideal of a world
in which men shall not learn war any
more" There is much yet to- be done
but We have made a beginning. The
world yet has long way TO go, but

DANCING METHODISTS.

Editor Every Evening: Your re-
production o. charming little piece
from the Brooklyn Eagle on the sub
iect Of dancing and card playing by
Methodists. in the issue of December n
should not go unnoticed by the great
Methodist public. Evidently something
has gotten badly twisted. what two
Methodist ministers of New York City
have to say on the subject Of dancing
Is of little consequence to the world
outside the little circle i'm which they
move. What the Methodist Episcopal
Church stands for is an entirely diff
fer6nt matter. Anyone can easily
learn for himself what the law Of the
church is by reading paragraph ESQ
Of the Discipline 1920 edition). One
Brooklyn pastor says: Some Of the
best people in my congregation dance;
In fact one member. a lady, teaches
dancing" He does not say that they
are members Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, nor does he say that they
are Christians. II may be they are
nice worldly people who go to church
with more or less frequency. Such
Is frequently the case. IL may be
that this particular pastor is particu-
larly careful not to step on the toes
of the very best people in his CON
gregation" including the lady dane
| ing teacher. IL might make his small
congregation smaller even than II Is
now.
The Methodist Episcopal Church hal
as much right as any other to max,
rules and regulations for the conduc
OF it's ministers and it's members. W.
may be narrow in the opinion o
/ those who do not agree with us, bu
1 that is our own affair. All peopl.
out of prison are narrow" on som,
| points. Better be straight and mar
| row, than broad and crooked. o
course there are many broad minde,
people who are good citizens and VIII,
respect the opinions OF those who diff
fer from them.

COMPEL ALL, TO PAY.

An attorney -at-law in this city who
was brought before n magistrate by
the State revenue collector on charge
of having failed for four years to
pay the annual license fee which the
State exacts of all who follow the legal
profession. put forward in his defence
the plea that many of his fellows at
the bar were likewise delinquent, and
wanted to know why he alone had
been singled for prosecution. But this
plea was not considered and he was
held for the upper court.
The incident, however, is somewhat
significant in the intimation that GER
/. tain attorneys are permitted to evade
payment of the annual license fee re-
quired by State law. There is nc
reason why such condition should
exist. All should be required to pay
regularly and no favoritism should
be shown. And now that one delin-
quent has been called to book. al
other delinquents should be similarly
treated.
