sented.N
Another subject considered was the
ACCESSIBILITY OF nameing women to
serve as registration officers and how
many should be chosen as delegates

ton OF women serving as election
officers was left to the individual
chairmen in the several wards in the
city and the hundreds in the county
In other words IL any of these chair
men desire the women 20 serve II
will be up 10 him 10 select them.
There was no attempt to influence
the women in their decision in this
matter and II was entirely eatisfac-
tory to them to let the question rest
with the ward and hundred chair
man.
AS TO the women sitting IN the
state convention OF the party there
was no room for debate for

President Slls of Bowdoin College
is optimistic respecting the educa-
tional situation, and while seeing
need of improvement in the second
ary schools he finds that the Bowdoin
students from Maine appear to have
had as good a training as those who
have come from outside the State.
He also finds that those coming from
the larger fitting schools show evil
dence of better preparation while
those from the smaller schools often
show more ability and energy. He
expresses the opinion that if fewer
subjects were taught in the second
airy schools, and those were taught
more thoroughly, the students would
be better fitted. Some will believe
that President Stills has hit a nail
squarely on the head in this matter
Of fewer subjects more thoroughly
taught. Indeed we are Of the opin-
ion that view is the prevailing one
among those who have studied the
situation.

THE "bACON" BEETLE,
CETERA

Think upon the designer Of the
Harder or bacon" beetle, that pro-
vided it with a head like a mouse,
legs like a cows, only more of them,
and claws like lobster's"? Was all
this conceived in a bad dream? Or
was it designed with a view to afford
man on inspection OF the production
something to think about?
Be that as it may, a recent Incl
dent in the career Of the aforesaid
beetle affords stimulus for thought.
This pest, found in warehouses and
esespecially harmful to stored hides
and leather, recently found its way
into shipment Of opium. When the
shipment was seized they were found
lying in a stupor from eating the
drug. Taken out, they were de-
prived Of the drug but offered the
food on which they are accustomed
to feed. But they would have none
Of that and five of the six died,
whereupon the remaining one was
given a grain of opium and devoured
it eagerly.
Are we to infer that the designer
Of man intended him for purposes
which the bacon" beetle appears
able to fulfil equally we'll?

court in a California case, in which
it is decided that punishment in q
State court for violation of the law
does not prevent the prosecution and
punishment of the same offender in
a Federal court, or vice versa. Chief
Justice Taft yesterday laid down the
principle
To regard the amendment as
the source of the power of the
States to adopt and enforce pro-
hibition measures is to take
partial and erroneous view of the
matter. Save for some restric-
tons arising out of the Federal
Constitution, chiefly the COM
merce clause, each State pos
sessed that power in full prior to
the amendment, and the pro-
bable purpose Of declaring a con-
current power to be in the States
ence that vesting the national
Government with the power of
countrywide prohibition State
powers would be excluded.
But while this establishes a con-
current power on the part of the
State which is in reality a power
exercised by it's own inherent author
ity, and not merely through obedience
of the power of the nation. it does
not enable the State to do anything
that is out of harmony with the Con-
stitutional amendment. Chief Justice
Taft goes on to say that the power
Of the State to enact enforcement
laws is with the limitation that nc
legislation can give validity to acts
prohibited by the Amendment" APP
parantly it remains to be decided
whether the State retains any power
OF Interpretation of the amendment
with respect for example to the
question what constitutes an ''intox-
icating rage"-that is out OF
harmony with a congressional act of
enforcement of the amendment. II
is taking, as in the case of other
amendments, a long time to shake
the Eighteenth Amendment down to
a basis of established and authori-
tative Interpretation.

Why People Join the ku kIux
IN. Y. Times.)

It was a really valuable contribu-
ton to the discussion of the Ku llux
Khan and to the understanding of it
that D. Stratton made on Sunday
VIXEN he called attention to the large
number of men whom he called lame
duck pastors" that are to be found
i'll that organization.
1t is not only those members Of the
Khan who have more or less right to
clerical titles that are tame ducks"
in one way or another. Practically
every one of them has missed success
in life on anything like a large scale.
None of them SO far as is known is of
eminence or prominence in any line
Of activity or cndeavor. Mediocrity
is their common characteristic, and
another is their discomfort with obs
curity and lack of influence over
their fellows to which their lack of
ability has condemned them. BY
Joining the Khan they all acquire the
semblance Of power. and in some
OF them, in places where the Klans-
men are numerous, get something of
its reality. They can coerce their
neighbors, can inflict punishmcnts in
accordance with their hitherto unre-
sarded prejudices. opinions and con-
victions, and they can find themselves
the subject Of excited comment all
over the country.
All this is intensely enjoyable to
the lame ducks" of every variety,
and they have just enough sense to
see that il their identities were re-
vealed they would be the objects, not
OF fear, but Of laughter hard to en-
dure. That is why, out in Chicago,
the publication Of their local roster
has resulted in the prompt abandon
ment Of the Khan by great numbers,
and no doubt publicity will have the
same effect wherever it is brought to
bear. Only while masked in hoods
and secrecy can anybody take these
people seriously-only when they
car strike from the dark do they dare
to strike at all.

MADISON
Portland Speakers at Madison
Board Of Trade Meeting on
State Pier


w. 3. Moore and George Feeney of
Portland were the special guests of
the Madison Board of Trade at their
regular meeting in Fireman's hall
Wednesday evening. The two men
came to Madison in the interests of
the new State pier. After the rou-
tine business had been disposed of
President Viles introduced Mr.. Moore
as the first speaker. Mr.. Moore said
the successful town was not due to
favorable local conditions but to the
willingness of it's own citizens to in
vest their money in home Enterprise
and improvements. He said if men
would do things instead of standing
back and critizing. towns would ad-
vance much faster. Mr.. Moore
pointed out illustrations all over the
country and predicted that in ten
years the cities in the United States
would rank in population as follows:
New York. first; Detroit. second, and
Los Angeles, third. He said that il
ten per cent Of the money invested
by citizens Of New England in fake
schemes was kept at home and in
vested in the manufacturers output,
that they could be increased 900 per
cent. Mr.. Moore told Of the inception
Of the State pier idea. He said it
was not Portland project but be-
longed to the whole State, that as a
matter of fact only about one third
of the business done over the pier
would have its origin in Portland.
He told of the great natural advan-
tages OF Portland Harbor. of its belt

The Bucksport wharf, landing
place of the Boston boats, was again
damaged by a boat endcavoring to
make a landing. This time the
wharf was rammed by the
steamer Belfast, ripping up the rail-
road track which runs out to the end
of the landing and general damaging
the piles. During the past 40 years,
this wharf has been rammed times
without number on both sides. The
tides and currents there never seem
to be twice alike and the wind also
hinders the pilots. The wharf is
built of large, heavy piling and serves
as an immense buffer, thus causing
n" danger for the vessels docking
there, but there seems to be steady
work for the wharf builders.
