East Normal Avenue PAWN

Last NORMAL avenue aNlnk
Last Saturday the Injunction suit
of B. F. Replogle and other residents
on that street, to prevent the paving
of that street under the present petit
ton as allowed, was heard by the
Court, j. P. Shuts appearing for the
Contestants, with City Attorney Wiles
for he City and Contractors, a con-
tract having been given out at same
time as the other streets, regardless
of the Injunction.
The injunction cOntended that the
Petition did not have sufficient sign
ers to make a majority of the Resi-
dent Property owners, that the name
of Mr.. Beatty should not be counted
as he was a Canadian, never an
American citizen; that Mr.. Curry and
the Farmers State Bank, represent
ing the same property, should be
counted as ONE and not as TWO per-
sons or properties as the petition
claimed.
Mr.. Wiles claimed they both should
be counted, but that Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Palmer and Mrs. Winchester
should not be counted as residents.
Both attorneys made good fight and
address to the Court, and after a
careful examination the Judge on
Monday decided that Mr.. Curry nor
Mr.. Beatty could not be counted, as
they had not recorded their contracts,
but that Mr.. Curry was considered as
the Farmers State Bank were counted
for him, while Mr.. Beatty, by his aft
davit and personal letter showed he
never was a resident of Hays aoT
even a naturalized citizen of the U.
s., that Mrs. Winchester might be
away visiting her children, but she
has home here, was registered and
expects to vote here, and it was
not shown she had a home elsewhere
or had registered or voted elsewhere,
so that Hays was her home until that
time and was counted, so finally de-
| cided it was a tie, that the petition
did not contain the names of a major
iy, as required by law, so the Injunc-
ton was allowed to stand and no paw
ing could be done under that petit
tion.-Freese.

Salvation Army Sets Aside Week of
October 9 to Is to Raise Badly
Needed Funds

- - - - -NO-SC D1AAy
Needed Funds
The week of October 9Th to 10th
has been set aside by The Salvation
Army Advisory Boards of nearly
every county in the state, as the
period in which the funds for next
years relief work and maintenance
will be raised.
Already our live county board has
laid the groundwork for an intensive
campaign here in behalf of this noble
organization and we are going out to
get our quota before the allotted time
has expired.
There is no reason why we can't
raise the reasonable sum that is asked
of US here. Times are not as pros
porous as they might be, it is true,
but there are many sections a lot
worse off than ours, and even where
conditions are the worst, the people
are planning to do their part for The
Salvation Army.
In more prosperous years the Army
needs less money. This year the
state and the whole nation has been
hard hit by crop failures, strikes, fuel
shortages and other bad conditions.
Consequently we are going to have
numerous cases of extreme poverty
not only here but every place this
winter. Men and women and their
children will be hungry and cold,
through no great fault of their own.
The Salvation Army will help them,
never fear, but it must have money
for such work. We will have to do
our share, that much is clear.
One of the posters being used by
the Advisory Board in this campaign
says that "a gift to the Salvation
Army is an entry on the credit side of
Gods judgment ledger" and we are
inclined to think that about right.
The Salvation Army breaches real,
old-time religion and works at prac-
teal religion all the time. We don't
know of any place where your charity
could do as much good, for the Army
feeds the body and spirit from the
same spoon and it nourishes both.
Our Advisory Board is giving its
time to the work and one of its mem
bers or someone from one of the com
mittees viii call on you for your sub,

VICTORY HIGHWAY news

Topeka, Kans., Sept. 27-Dr- c.
W. McCampbell, head of the animal
husbandry department of the Kansas
State Agricultural College, spends q
great deal of time travelling over the
state of Kansas by automobile, visit
ing experiment stations and the stock
raising farms of the state. He has
sent to the office of the Victory High
way association in Topeka, the follow
ing endorsement of the Victory High
way in Kansas:
Replying to your inquiry of
recent date permit me to say
that I travelled by auto over most
of the east and west cross state
highways of Kansas during the
past summer and found the Vic
tory Highway to be far superior
in every respect to all others,
particularly in its easy grades,
absence of hills and hollows, and
the condition of the road itself"

When the Victory Highway, from
San Francisco, Calf, to New York
City, was laid out, more than a year
ago, the chief factors taken into &C
count were the shortness and prac-
ticability of the route chosen. The
shortest distance between the two
termini, on the shores of the two
oceans, was taken as the base. The
condition of the roads available, the
prospects for their improvement, and
the general fitness of the highway
We're considered, not as a local propO-
sition but as a transcontinental route.
This was in keeping with the fact
that it was dedicated as a memorial
to all the men and women of the
country who served their country
during the World War.
Not a person was asked to become
a member of the Victory Highway
association, until the route had been
laid out. Not a city has been asked
to give a bonus to the association in
order to have the route selected pass

had been chosen and marked, then
memberships were solicited from the
individuals and the communities
which stood to receive benefits from
the highways. Routing of the Vic
tory Highway was never made con-
tingent upon tn cruising of any quota
of funds or the promise of any other
form of support to the project or to
the association.
And when the routing had been
completed, it was found that no less
than eighteen of the most important
cities of the country from coast to
coast, had been placed on a transcOn-
tinental motor road for the first time.
At the present time, the Victory
Highway is the only motor road which
can claim to reach tide water at both
terminals, which touches the follow
ing cities: San Francisco, Oakland
and Sacramento, Calf; Reno and
Lovelock, New; Denver, Colo; To-
peka, Kans.; Kansas City and st
Louis, Mo-; Terre Haute and Indian,
apolis, Ind; Dayton, Columbus anC
Springfield, Ohio; Wheeling, w. Va.
Washington, D. c.; Baltimore and
Wilmington, Del.
In this fact-that the Victory
Highway brought to these cities, al
of them with populations greater thar
$4,000, the first opportunity of parti
cipating in the advantages of trans
continental motor routes founC
the secret of the vigorous support o.
the Highway which has been immed
i~s-ly forthcoming from the western
les along the route.

the expense of carrying on our State
government has trebled.
Meantime four-fifths Of Maine is
going backward in population and
only one tenth showing any real
material progress.
Il believe that it is time when
everyone in Maine. should devote
themselves to helping their State in
stead of asking for help, time for
retrenchment, for self-denial. for
patriotic devotion to the public good,
and 1 believe the teachers Of Maine
should lead in preaching and prac-
ticing these doctrines.

ands Of people in Maine who are
barely earning a living and upon
whom. in the last analysis, our tax
burdens fall l feel sure that you will
agree with me that candidate who
advocates increasing the burdens OF
the State for the purpose of helping

acting the part which you would like

Teachers Pension
Increase Opposed
by w. r. Pattangall

x-Attorncy General William +.
| Pattangall of this city, who will be
! the Democratic candidate for gov
| crn0r this fall, in Il letter sent Mon
/ Gay to John Z. Murphy, member Of
the teachers pension committee of
Portland, declared that he did not
think that the school teachers of
Maine ought to ask at the present
time Legislation doubling the amount
now granted to a retired teacher.
The letter of Nh Murphy to Mr..
Pattangall bearing on the matter is
as follows:
"Onc of the bills coming before the
Legislature Will bc that of the
Teachers Pension. At the present
time there is on the statute books a
law allowing pension of $3.50 a year
for teachers who have served not less
than thirty years. AS a great many
teachers throughout the State receive
very meager salary, they arc I'M
able TO save anything toward the
time when they shall become inca
, pacitated so that $3.50 is inadequate
for their needs. 1t does not seem
right that a teacher that has served
faithfully should, in her old age, be
subject of charity. Do YOU not
think that the pension rate should
be increased to $500 so that retired
teacher may be able to have at least
the bare necessities of life?
Teachers of Maine believe that
Your candidacy for Governor would
he very much strengthened If you
would come out frankly in favor of
a change in the laws Of Maine,
doubling the amount now granted to
a retired teacher.
I'VE trust we will hear favorably
from YOU in regard to this matter"
Mr.. Pattangall's reply to Mr.. Muir
ply is as follows:
There is nothing that would please
me more than to express an unquali-
fed assent TO the suggestions con-
tanned in Your letter. Giving away,
or even agreeing to give away. other
peoples money is a most agreeable
occupation and one INDUCED in BY
most candidates for election or re-
election to office.
You would not, of course, suggest,
nor would you be justified in so do
ing. that a promise on the part Of
candidate for Governor of Maine to
use his influence to procure add
tional pensions for teachers, would
lead to his receiving the votes of
teachers who would mot otherwise
vote for him. because such a sug-
gestion would imply that certain
teachers were willing to sell their
votes for promise of aid in securing
larger pensions and that is a pro-
position which no one would feel
like entertaining. Yet. you cannot
fail to see that some candidates
might misinterpret your request and
be tempted TO try and buy a few
votes in that way.

about the matter because | DO not
