Gilbert -- Maine Bankers
Elect at Augusta Meeting

sThe present is a good time to
sound warning against any general eff

essaries that the mass of consumers
must buy" said Hon. d. r. Crssen
ger. comptroller of currency for the
United States at a brilliant gathering
of bankers at the Augusta House Sat

Such a movement, | feel, would
just at this juncture Re likely TO prove
untimely, and to bring unfortunate
Consequences. l am quite familiar
with the fact that in general the
tendency is to buy on a rising market
and to sell on a falling market. But
that doesn't by any means assure that
business is bound to get good when
prices are getting higher, or get worse
when prices are getting lower"

afternoon with the baccalaureate ad

Sills in the First Parish Congrega-
tional church. The members Of the
class of 1922, led by their marshall,
George A. Partridge of Augusta, en-
tered the church and took seats in
the front of the auditorium.
President Stills took for his subject
The Law Of Liberty" speaking as
follows:
The Law of Liberty
We hear a great deal today about
liberty. Few words are used more
frequently and more thougtessly.
Everyone processes to love liberty.
We are all free men; can we not con-
sequently do as we choose? Il have
the right to live my own life is
youths exultant Cry. And this slogan
Of the individual is caught up by larg-
err units. Glasses and nations assert
the right of self determination and
repeat the age old query: rs it not
lawful for me to do what | will with
mine own" In the world at large
the man who is a liberal in his con-
victions puts liberty in the foreground
OF his thoughts; liberty of conscience,
liberty of expression. liberty of action
are to him essential The radical
goes farther still: and claiming that
he is ever fighting for freedom refuses
to be lured by traditions or conven-
| tions or laws unless they appeal to
him as an individual. From the child
spruning parental discipline to the
Bolshevist repudiating religion, as we
know it and the laws on which our So
siety is based we hear of crimes COM
mitted in the name Of liberty and
moro pathetic still of intellectual con-
victions based on mistaken ideas of
the supremacy of freedom.
We hear almost as much of law.
Law and order" IS a popular watch
cry of the day. Men otherwise reas-
enable under this phrase, over their
own opinions whether on such trivial
matters as daylight saving or import
ant national policies. Men talk glibly
OF the laws of science, the laws Of
nature. the laws Of nations. Conser-
vatives lay emphasis on the forces
in the world and in human affairs that
! bind and control.
What is this law Of liberty? Mani
testify it is Q different conception of
