A WAR MEMORIAL

Maine has not forgotten the war
nor those who served; and while she
is behind many of her sister states
in the matter of erecting a war me-
mortal she has not overlooked it.
This we believe will be emphatically
demonstrated If popular subscrip-
ton is asked for purposes of testi-
monial, one to which even the
humblest citizen may contribute a
share, however small.
The erection of suitable memorial
under such conditions will inevitably
require a lot of hard work in the way
of enlisting the public interest and
collecting and disbursing the funds.
Yet the resolve introduced anticipates
this work to be done out of love for
the cause and without recompense
other than the satisfaction of having
accomplished something worth while.
for Maine, will surely not erect a
memorial that is not worth while, not
in keeping with the deep and abiding
sentiments it would be designed to
perpetuate.

Was Allen Wards

A Pipe Dream?

Houlton. Me-, Feb. 23-Sheriff
Grant, when interviewed Tuesday
night, claimed he intended to start in
earnest Wednesday morning to
search for the basement where Allen
Ward was conveyed by three men at
$50 p. M. Saturday, Feb. 10, after
being chloroformed on the bridge
over the Meduxnekeag stream on
North street.
Throughout the day many of the
citizens claim that the story was a
pipe dream that Allen Ward had, and
the circumstances surrounding his
tale seemed "fishy." Sheriff Grant
believed in the story as told by Mr..
Ward and people in the northern part
of the county have full confidence
and believe that the liquor dealers
are getting desperate and are trying
to brighten the enforcement of the
law.
Sheriff Grant is not afraid. He has
several clues that he intends to trace
out. Two suspects are in his net.
but one cannot be found although
seen in town Saturday and Sunday.
The other is being trailed and If
things point right will be arrested
soon.

shall be dispensed by the State. We
are living in an age of commits
sions of various kinds. Each year
witnesses the creation of more and
more of them. 1t is becoming such
a popular way of managing all prob
lens and solving all questions of
administration that whenever any
question which is in the slightest
degree perplexing makes its APP
pearance there is always someone
who comes forward with the sug-
gestion that a commission be NAM
ed to handle the matter. So an ice
cream commission would be no
novelty and we are certain it might
prove beneficial.
Certain it is that the State, hav-
ing established the policy of Ice
cream dispensing upon such a scale
as it seems to have done, needs
some experts on .the job to say what
kind of ice cream shall be dis
pensed and how it shall be dis
pensed. For example, take ice
cream which may be- served by the
State on Ste Papick's day. Every
one knows that there ought not to
be any ice cream dispensed on that
day of an orange hue. 1t should
be of proper color and proper fla
vor, too.

sThe State and Ice Cream
portland PresS)

There is bill before the Legisla-
ture which provides, in substance,
for State supervision of the max
ing of ice cream. 1t appears that
the health and happiness of the
people are endangered because of
the manner in which this product
is now being produced and dis
pensed and there are those who are
of the opinion that it should be
regulated.
We are of the opinion that there
may be something in this well wor-
thy of the Legislatures attention.
For example, it has been said at
Augusta that one of the expendi-
lures charged to the contingent fund
was bill for candy and ice cream
amounting to approximately $4,000.
If the State has entered upon a pol
icy of dispensing ice cream to this
extent, as it seems to have done,
it is probably proper to have it
positively determined what sort of a
product it is putting out, and
whether it is measuring up in every
respect to what might be decided to
be the proper standard
Indeed, the matter is of so much
importance that it APPEALS to us to
warrant the appointment of an ice
cream commission whose duty it
shall be not only to supervise the
manufacture of this delicacy but to

Editorial Comment
The Woodshed Treatment.
(Fitchburg Sentinel)

The commissioner of public safety
recommends the woodshed treatment
as remedy for Juvenile delinquency.
Tho wood shed treatment is one of
the lost arts. 1t was quite extensive
~ cultivated in the earlier days of
New England. but for the past 80
years has gone into disuse, so that
the present generation is at loss to
know what it means. For exact
knowledge, application would have to
be made to old fellows who had
practical experience of the woodshed
treatment when they were boys. 1t
is very probable that none would
deny the benefits they have received
from it. The basic principle of this
treatment is parental care and
solicitude 1t is founded in affection.
1t is the opposite of parental indul-
gence and parental mollycoddling.
It's notices are Children, obey your
parents" and spare the rod, spoil

rod of discipline, venerates any the
less the memory of the parent on ac-
count of just chastisement for
fragrant pisbehavior?

Editor Kennebec Journal,

Dear Sir:
l noticed in the Journal, L believe
for Monday morning, communica-
ton from China or South China rel
ative to the economy of using snow
rollers to make winter roads. l just
want to say that this department has
consistently advised the use of snow
rollers ever since it was organized in
1905 as the best and most economi-
cal way of making winter roads. j
have always understood the reason
why rollers were not more generally
used, and undoubtedly your CORE
spondent knows. 1t is simply because
the use of rollers cuts out lot of
labor and restricts the opportunity
to work out taxes.

that some of these matters will be
corrected in the future
