Mr.. Harvey's Speech
(NeW York Herald)

WV" Iolh IleIdIuD
In the main The New York Herald
likes George Harvey's maiden ambas-
sadorial speech at the dinner given to
him Thursday night by the London
branch of the Pilgrim Society. In it's
directness and clarity it is excellent.
1t is quite the antithesis of wab-
bling on the League of Nations. Am
basSador Harvey SO interpreting
President Harding to Europe, Europe
will cease specializing as to lust
where the American President stands
on the League.
And this Interpretation will serve
some Americans quite as we'll.
George Harvey's cleanly chiseled
phasing makes it plain that Mr..
Harding will carry through straight
on the League of Nations as the
American people last November com
missioned him to do. The world may
take the Harvey speech as an in
spired utterance in so far as it relates
to our position in European diploma
cy.
The New York Herald warmly ap-
proves all Mr.. Harvey said bearing
on the desirability and necessity of a
closer understanding, each of the 9TH
er, of the two great English speaking
nations; the desirability and neces-
sity of stronger bonds of friendship
and cooperation. This means world
safety and world advancement in
wisdom and Righteousness.
The freedom from circuitous dipIo-
matte expression in delivering him
self of his message to Europe was as
true to George Harvey himself as if
spoken on American soil when he
was private citizen. This is fine.
A speech so good in the main. it is
pity that what Mr.. Harvey said
with regard to Americas entrance
into the war didn't carry quite the
right flavor. 1t portrayed America al
actuated solely by selfishness, having
no sentiment beyond her own inter-
ests, in helping the Allies to win the
war. Certainly this is not the opin-
ion of The New York Herald and it
is not the opinion of the American
people. 1t is true that it was to our
interest to have Germany overthrow,
In this respect Mr.. Harvey is right,
but we did not think alone of our own
safety. We thought of the safety of
England, and France, and Italy, and
Belgium, and fought for them as we
fought for ourselves. AS we knew
the feeling and sentiment of America
then and know it now we are certain
that the hearts of a great people new
er went out more truly and unreserv-
eddy to a cause than the great Ameri-
can heart went out to the cause Of
the Allies.

PAPER FROM HARDWOOD PULP

The discovery Of still further pos
sibilities in the profitable utilization
Of hardwood pulp for paper making is
the aim Of several of the paper COM
panies of Maine, the most recent
among them being the Oxford Paper
Company Of Rumford. This concern
has gathered for the purpose Of ex-
Fermentation about 10000 cords Of
hard wood, comprising birch, maple
and practically every species obtain
able with the exception of oak. Elk
periments are planned for testing of
various methods, employing different
chemicals in ways which it is hoped
will further the use of hard woods in
paper manufacture.
The field for such discovery is
wide one and research along this line
greatly to be desired for in many of
the present uses of hard wood for
manufacture great amounts of ma
terial remain after the staple articles
have been produced. The manufac-
lure of spools takes care of a con-
siderable amount of this, but not
nearly all. If it is found possible to
utilize this material in producing pa
per products, there will be an &C
companying increase to the pulp
wood supply throughout the State
which will be to the advantage of one
of Names greatest industries.

Editorial Comment
Old Glory with Variations
philadelphia Public Ledger


Manners have been declining, in the
opinion of many custpdians and cura-
tors of morals, ever since there were
any manners to decline. A writer OBJ
serves: Our newspapers contain ac-
counts of numerous frauds, robberies,
arsons, murders and other crimes,
and these things give occasion to
many for saving that crimes are more
numerous now than ever and that
civilization is waning into barbar-
ism"
One can hear sermons like that any
Sunday in any city.
After dinner speakers are accus-
toned to joke for little while, then
pull grave face and tell US that we
are rushing hcadlong to ruin.
The welkin rings with the clamor
Of those who are reforming their
grandmothers and reading the riot
act to debutantes.
If we must have somebody to re-
form, why not begin, as Chesterton
suggests, with ourselves?
1t doesn't help to Cry forever: "The
world is very evil, the times are wax
ing late" and bewait the transgres-
sions of all the rest.
Everything that is said today about
costumes and customs has been ritter
ated since Eden. Every age %has
lauded some golden age before it.
when everybody was Immediately
good
The world is dreadfully young and
desperately unfinished. and there is a
heap to Go to bring in the millennium.
But merely "slamming" one another
isn't going to help. And the world,
with all it's load of sin and shame,
was never SO good place as it is this
spring morning.

Probably there is no community in
Maine without some ordinance for
bidding splitting in public places I'M
der penalty of fine. Yet how many
communities enforce this law. asks
the State Department of Health.
This law was formed out of recog-
milton that splitting in public is a fill
thy and dangerous habit and the pub
lie splitter a menace to society. Muz-
zle the cough and sneeze and stop
splitting on the sidewalk and other
public places. Have some thought OF
the comfort and wellbeing of other
people. Both obey and enforce thc
Law against splitting in public places.

Maine Gossip
Memorial Day

We gather once again today
Around the sleeping dead
A custom that is held so dear
Ger many lowly bed.
Some of them lie on Southern soil,
No slab to mark their grave.
They gave their lives for freedoms
cause
Those boys we thought so brave.
They heard the call for volunteers,
Their hearts within were stirred;
They haStened to the battle front
And murmured not word
saved.
However great the cost,
The enemy must be subdued
To some, how great their loss.
An empty sleeve. How sad the tale
TO friends that were bereft:
The wives and mothers. children dear
And sWeethearts that were left.
And so today we meet again
Place flowers on the graves
Of husbands, fathers, brothers dear.
Those men and boys so brave.
our Country's safe and peace prevails
Throughout our land today.
AND God forbid the tyrant's rule
May ever have it's sway.
