WHAT THE VICTIMS THINK

This information is from the bulle-
tin issued by the Federal Prohibition
Unit, Washington, D. c., is credited
to the Washington, D. c. News, and
is Of unusual interest in that it pre-
sents a side Of the discussion which
at first may seem somewhat novel.
"The convicts of the country are
against a return to the wet days of
the prohibition era.
Out Of 134,321 votes by prisoners in
322 jails. only 9o9 favored repeal of
the prohibition amendment, f. E.
budding, president of the Prisoners
Relief society announced today.
The vote was taken at the sugges-
ton Of a senator who wanted to know
how the convicts stand on the liquor
question.
This was the cleanest election ever
held in the United States budding
said. No money or whiskey was used
and each man voted as he felt
Surely these men are not all boot
leggers, not all deficient in general
intellect and have some comprehen-
sion Of the causes which contribute to
crime and help to fill the prisons.

ABOUT THE FARM POPULATION

When rural population is spoken of
that doesn't necessarily mean farm
ers. According to the records in the
department Of commerce Names
total farm population, 197,601, was
but 25.7 per cent Of the States total
population and but 4o.4 per cent Of
the rural population. In New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts, the farm
population formed less than a quarter
Of the entire population, while in Mis-
sissipi the farm population was at the
last census II per cent of the total
population.
The largest farm population re-
ported for any state, 2,277,773, was
found in Texas, the smallest, 1876,
in Rhode Island, being but rs of the
total population Of tina. little state.
The total farm population Of the en-
tire country, January l, 1920, was 3D.
614,269, or 29.9 per cent Of the whole.
Considering that over seventy per
cent Of the people are not Of the farm
population, that farms in some parts
Of the country can be had at low
prices. that it is possible with slight
training at least to make a living on
he farm, there would seem to be OPP
portunity for the seventy per cent of
the people to protect themselves
against long being robbed by the
other thirty per cent in event Of that
being ATTEMPTED,

Qsn't this a corker?)
I'm very sorry they didn't have

were terribly rude l thought, and
fairly shrieked with laughter when
they caught sight of it. l whisked
out of the place as fast as / could
for it has been such a dear kind
pocket-book to me, (very often Civ
ing me it's last cent and going with

AS to the utomobiles-well, there!
I never was any hand at picking out
automobiles, although several times
I've all but been picked by them so
you'll really have to excuse me if
they don't fill all your needs. They
seemed pretty cheerful to me and
think if you keep the oil-tank and
the grease cups turned down they
will give you good service-I mean
the cars will, not the grease cups.
Of course everybody knows that
grease cups don't give anything but
a whole lot of trouble.
About the dolls-do be careful and
not drop them. I'd hate to find them
all broken up the next time l see
them. They're little finickity about

thing but cake. Sponge cake. Then
there's another thing about them
which l hate to speak of. for I think
its very unlovely to speak ill of any,

you to this extent-they simply
WILL sponge on you if you give
them a chance. ] forgot to tell that

And now we come to the earrings.
They are the very latest thing and
all the flappers are wearing them
else they couldn't be fappers. could
they? Isn't it Just too lovely to think
that after you get these on. you will
be little flappers too. Heavens. how
you VIII flap. You have probably
heard the old adage Little pitchers

I'm a bit worried that you will get
careless and step on them and trim
yourself up and then I'm thinking
everybody would have EARRINGS.

SOME SMALL IMPROVEMENT

There are some slight grounds for
optimism regarding the use Of auto
mobiles. The June issue of Service"
the organ of the National Bureau of
Casualty and Surety Underwriters,
has collected statistics of automobile
fatalities in fifty Of the largest cities
in the country having a total pop
ulation of 24,735,3S3. These show 1897
deaths last year caused by autos, COL
by street cars, SAL caused by steam
railways and 321 by other vehicles. OF
course some of these may have come
from outside the cities but the figures
are believed to be approximately cor
rect. Boston according to this show
ing had 1O4 deaths.
The state registrar of motor vehi-
cles in Massachusetts, tells 1.-The
Standard" that there were SO persons
killed during June in that state as
compared with sc during the same
month of the previous year, notwith-
standing there were $4,000 more cars
on the highways, and notwithstand-
ing unusual railroad crossing acct
dents which caused eight deaths.
During last June his office reports the
revoking or suspending of $40 Ii
censes or registrations. With the ex-
ception Of the increase in the num-
Der Of drunken operators he finds the
general situation shows marked i'm
provement.
In a recent letter to the chiefs of
police he says many complaints are
being received that the headlight law
is being generally violated. He says
he thinks the principal trouble comes
from the fact that a large proportion
of the lenses are not in their proper
position, being twisted one way or
another. He requests prosecution of
every person operating a car with
lenses in that condition. He thinks
the time has came to do something.
Here in Maine the trouble from
dazzling headlights has been a little
improved but there is much left to be
desired. Whether it is due to i'm
proper headlights or to improper ar
rangement we do not know, but the
users of them ought to be brought to
book with as little delay as possible.

MAINE FAIR ABOUT HER ROADS

In sense 1t is unfortunate that
Misunderstanding have arisen be-
tween the motorists OF Massachusetts
and the authorities of Maine, but we
do not think 1t in any way the fault
Of the latter. The law has been plain,
should have been and doubtless was
understood by the authorities Of Mas
sachusetts and should have been clear
70 the people of that state. The state
ment made by Governor Baxter and
the advertisement whic our State
Highway Commission Is h. ling pub
lished In the Massachusetts, papers
ought TO relieve any uncertainty re-
specting It.
All this may not remove annoyance
on the part of the trucking interests,
who wish to use the highways and
not contribute a small part OF their
share 10 the upkecp Of those roads.
, A resident OF Massachusetts,, II he
would but get the map of the State
of Maine. compare the road mileage
. with its Inhabitants and wealth. also
with those OF the other New England
states. would have to concede the diff
ficulty OF maintaining Maine roads
largely for out-of-state travel.
Maine is not mean in its attitude
towards those who visit her.
Our roads are freely open to
the passengers cars Of other
states for thirty days, our laws being
In that respect as liberal as those of
at least most OF the other states. But
We think the fair minded resident of
Massachusetts will agree that the
trucking concern sending its heavy
trucks over the roads should contrib
ute a registration fee to the state.
Massachusetts, now requires that Of
the Maine trucks and we believe it 10
but fair TO do so.

THEY HAVE CONFIDENCE IN
HARDING

Names senators have had confer
ence with the President over the mat
ter of supplying Maine with coal.
They are reported as coming away
convinced the President is doing ev-
erything which he may do to bring
the strikes to an end and in event of
failure to accomplish this will go as
far as the federal government can go
In getting out and distributing the
coal.
The report adds that THE only legal
ground upon which the Federal gov
eminent can use the regular army to
operate or protect mines is the in
reference with interstate commerce
through failure to supply coal to the
railroads and the inability OF the
. states to maintain order"
From this 1t appears that whatever
purpose there may have been to have
the railroad strike coincide with the
coal strike the combination effected
may bring about the very conditions
warranting federal interference. Ger
tainly both strikes are interfering
with interstate commerce. 1t fur
thermore appears that the President
is ready as a last resort, but not UNI
til then. to make use Of the entire
army IL need be. But first he has
called on the governors to do their
duty, to make use of the National
Guard. the police and other means at
their disposal. In event Of their fail
ure to do this there is no occasion
TO doubt that the President
viii not hesitate to make use
Of the facilities he has. While
the union leaders are declaring
all this to be but gesture which will
not increase the production that does
not make 1t SO. Time alone can tell,
but meanwhile the President has re-
ceived the assurance Of the chair
msn.of the bituminous operators that
an attempt will be made to open the
mines and resume operations. He Is
proceeding by logical steps to a def
Jnhs end, without bravado or threats,
and when. IL ever, extreme measures
must be taken we believe he will have
ths,country supporting him.

The Responsibility

property and the loosing of the mob

coal fields of twenty states that
President Harding had in mind when
he asked these miner leaders on Sat-
urday if they had fully appraised the
responsibility they had assumed"
We have come to a period in the
coal strike where a Herrin massacre
is followed by a Cliftonville riot and
- SApiOSioIl NY SOIlc Olll-
er flare-up of mob violence, blood and
fire. The breaking down of all nego-
tiations and all moves toward arbi-
tration will aggravate a situation
that is about the same wherever men
have been out of work for six weeks.
The miners must expect to reap
what they sow. Herrin aroused pub
lie resentment to a white heat. This
had cooled but little when the miners
threw away their chance at Washing

they had rather go on with their feud
against the operators than to sub

Commission and to the findings of
public opinion. Cliftonville is anoth-
