ly upon public schools. This vast
sum Is invested on the theory that
you can not ct good democatic gov.
ernment unless you have popular
intelligence. Hence production Of
good citizenship should be the most
important of our educational aims.
The faults of our system OF gov
ernment are obvious. It costs too
much. there is too much favoritism
and personal privilege, too little
business efficiency. But the fault
is not with the system. 1t is primar.
lily with the average citizen, in his
lack Of attention to civic duty, and
in his tendency to be fooled by
superficial arguments and self seek
ing politicians. A generation Of
voters is needed who shall be bet
ter equipped to deal with the prob
lens OF government.
Some of the most important ques-
tions are not determined by the act
of voting. The progress or lack Of
progress of community depends
largely upon whether q spirit Of
cooperation exists, and whether
citizens show interest in promoting
community causes. People need to
learn that they are all partners In
the joint enterprise of community
development, and that they must
take hold and work for the common
good to make that enterprise a sue
cess.
To produce this mental attitude
on the part OF the people, you have
to take them when they are young.
1t should be one of the most i'm
pOrtant tasks of school to show
the young people what the faults
and defects of our federal state,
and local governments are, and how
they can be remedied.
Also they should be shown that
their own prosperity and welfare
nepends upon whether they are
willing to take hold with their
neighbors and work for the devel.
oDment Of their home towns. What
is being done in some modern
schools to promote these ideas will
be shown in several editorials soon
: to be published in The Chieftain.

than usual to have a good time.
A few years ago people used to

TIE FIVE aREATEsT MEN

II you were asked to name the
five greatest men in the history of
the world. what names would you
select?
A biography class in the Univer-
sity of Indiana had this question
put up to them, and this list had
the most votes: Shakespeare
Aristotle, Caesar Lincoln and Wash
ington.
1t is significant Of changing senti-
ment, that a philosopher like Aris-
totle should be given place in such
list, while military genius like
Napoleon was left out. 1t would
not have been so in past times
when great generals used to be con-
sidered the greatest men.

Mild suggestion by the Kinsley
(Kans., Graphic: The season has
arrived when mother shuts herself
in the sewing room with patterns
and accessories to make dresses for
the school girl. There is good
deal OF criticism Of the extravagant
flashy dressing of the girls in high
school. The girls are not altogether
to blame. They are immature, lack
ing in judgment and the victims of
the strain of adolescence. which dis
torts values. The blame for flashy
dresses in High School in Kinsley
and every other town rests on the
mothers. Those who allow high
school girls to overdress are making
mistake. Silks and satins In
school are inappropriate and un-
suited to the fresh sparkling per-
sonalities of the high school girl.

Last year. school girls in this town
paraded the streets in expensive sa-
tin dresses. We noticed that some
Of these girls did not all Of them
finish school, and some of those
who did failed to make good. This
is the month when the sensible re.
fined Kansas mother will stiffen up
her backbone and prepare whole
some substantial suitable garments
for the school girl in her family.
To this kind of mother the Graphic
offers this advice: the one aim of
the well bred woman is to be in
conspicuous on the street and in
public places. The aim extends to
the clothing of her daughter.

layed

New York, June 22.-Rear Admiral
Sims returned home today to explain
to Secretary DENLY remarks attributed
to him in his recent London speech
on Irish American issues.
Refusing to be taken ashore by a
cutter he came up the bay aboard the
liner Olympic to meet friends or foes
who might be awaiting him near the
pier.
Everything was peaceful when he
landed. A thousand bluecoats were
massed on the dock to preserve order
Indeed they were SO numerous that
with wharf workers and passengers.
it would have been difficult for many
other persons to have found foothold
on the pier.
Police lines were drawn several
blocks north and south of the pier
entrance. Not even when Woodrow
Wilson returned from the peace con-
tons made.
The admiral was the first person to
step ashore, into an automobile with
Rear Admiral Huse, commandant of
the third naval district. Thanked by
police he drove away. announcing he
would take the first train for Wash
1ngton.
There was scarcely anyone on the
dock. From the handful of persons
who had gathered there came ntither
cheers nor taunts. Among those who
met the admiral was his brother.
On her way to the pier the Olympic
passed a Sound steamer, whose pas
sengers lined the rail Across the
stretch came the sound of cheers for
Sims.
The admiral told newspapermen the
cable from Secretary DENLY ordering
him to return had been greatly de-
layed. Shown cartoons of himself, he
smiled and said he might have some
thing to say later He said that after
going to Washington he expected to
return to Newport.
There was no demonstration out
side the pier, nor on the way To the
Pennsylvania station, where only a
handful of persons were gathered
At the station, however, there were
a few boos and cheers, and one woman
was seen parading with banner
bearin- the picture of jackass-
apropos of the reference to ja"kasses
reported TO have been made by Ad-
miral Sims in his London speech The
woman was not troubled by tn, police.
On the trip from Quarantine the adj
miral maintained strict silence, de-
clining to make any statement before
reporting to Secretary DENLY
Mrs. Sims accompanied him home.
Colonel NJ. A. Kelly of the Veter-
ans Association for the Recognition
Of the Irish Republic. said a copy of
resolutions adopted by the organiza-
ton was handed to him upon his ar
rival, together With a mock certiti-
cate of thanks. Admiral Sims declar-
ed he had not seen the documents.

NO ACTION NOW BY
ME. AUTO. ASSN.
HIGHWAY BONDS

Poland Spring, Me, June 22--Direc-
tors of the Maine Automobile Associ-
alton in session here Tuesday decided
informally to take no action for the
present on the question of issuance of
bonds in the fall for maintenance of
roads. 1t is probable that the mat
ter will be brought up again at lat
er meeting of the organization and
that some definite decision will then
be reached.
The other principal matter of bust
ness which was discussed today was
the ACCESSIBILITY of taking action in
connection with the proposed refer
endum to retain the present highway
commission in office. On this question,
too, it was decided to take no action
at the present time.
About 40 were present at the meet
ing directors and their wives. Hiram
w. Kicker was to have been the host
of the occasion but was prevented
from attending the meeting by a
broken arm and accordingly his son
and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Charles w.
Kicker greeted the guests and Serv-
ed in the capacity of host and hostess.
The morning session was occupied
with the discussion of business. Din
ner was then served at the Poland
Spring house, and the afternoon de-
voted to business again. All the di-
rectors went over to call on Mr. Rick
err at his home.

looking couple
She said there were six or seven
women in the store, but when asked
their ages. she said, Il really could
not say because women don't like to
tell their ages to outsiders. I should
hate to tell you how old 1 am. You'd
be surprised"
Mrs. Fred l.. Greedy, wife of defen-
dant. asked what her husband did in
regard to Mrs. Rogers and Cyrus
Greedy, replied absolutely nothing"
DR.. Ward Renwick. Cyrus Greely's
physician, said the latter was in the
habit of seeing bright colored birds
in various parts of the room. Mr..
Greely's condition changed after the

Dry failed.
Mrs. Mary Norris of Lewiston de-
posed that Cyrus Greedy expressed a
desire to marry her if she were not
married. and often inquired for her
two boys, though she repeatedly told
him her two children were girls.
Albert Thorn deposed that Cyrus
Greedy became weak after the death
of his wife and most of the business
of the bank was done by the treas
urer. Mr.. Thorn isl a clerk at the
bank. He said Mr.. Greedy would fall
asleep in his chair in the office and
once fell to the floor when asleep.

to apply it to all the hair instead of
Just the top of the head. Your sham
