THE PEANUT VARIETY


 One of the most harmful customs in this country, where the people rule is the habit playing politics with almost every question that comes Candidates too to try to ride harmful issues into office They play politics with anarchy catering the element of people who would overthrow a government and tabish reign disorder in it's place. if they had the opportunity; they play politics with disoyalty to the country, seeking to make political profit out of every question that up wherein loyalty to the govern ment is involved
 This class of candidates do not look for the right side of proposition, but they look only for the side that will make their political pathway the easiest travel Almost any kind of act of awlessness is con- dohed by certain candidates for office with the hope of winning the support of that element of people, Of course nobody but demagogues those who have no fixed principle, would give up their honest convictions for political favortisim But the reign of the dem agogues is still felt in almost every state well in Alaska, although the demagogue is probably sized up quickly in Alaska than in most places the majority of the people in the North somehow having gotten into the habit of thinking for themselves with the result that the party whips falls short in driving line, The political quack has difficulty in admin isering his nostrums in Alaska than in most places, and yet there those here who swallow them year after year still why conditions do not |prove.-Stroller's Weekly.

A Communication

The life was crushed out of a tiny
fox terrier dog en- Middle street, Bath,
Saturday noon, owned by C. C. Dun
ham. The act seemed almost fiendish,
as the driver Of the car made no effort
to avoid striking the dog. not even CIV
ing backward look. Nippon was a
great pet and very intelligent, as the
following story shows: Before coming
to Bath the Dunhams lived on their
farm in Eassalboro. One incuba tor
chicken, cripple, was brought into
the kitchen to be given better care, and
from the first the dog was delighted
with it, and whenever the chick was
taken out of the box to be fed Nip"
was allowed to kiss it, and she would
run back and forth asking as plain as
a dog could. to have the chick share
her box, and on several occa sions hear
ing much noise. the chick would be
found in the dogs box. One night re-
firing early, Mrs. D remarked, Don't
forget to put the covering over the
chickens box but Mr.. Durham did.
That night he was awakened by the
peeping OF the chick and found Nip
pom had brought it upstairs and put
it in between the sheets. Did the dog
understand what Mrs. Durham said, or
was mother dog but never had any
babies.

Patriots of Peace

To Editors OF the kennebec Journal:
Webster's Dictionary defines patri-
otism as love Of ones country" and
patriot as ''one who loves and is
devoted to his native country and its
welfare" These definitions are hard
ly in accordance with the popular
acceptation Of the meaning of the
words designated. A patriot. to most
persons, has the limited significance
of man who Is ready. or even
eager. to. join the army or navy in
time of war and if necessary sacri-
flee his life Cor become a more or
less helpless cripple). in the service
of his country. The idea that one
could do as efficient work and serve
his country as we'll by living and
working for it as by dying or becom-
ing helpless public charge would
appear to be recognized by only an
insignificant minority.
Is It not time that the general
public was awakened to the under
standing that the highest patriotism
consists in endeavoring to promote
the best interests OF ones native
land or chosen abode by preventing
the curse of war from blightinp If !?
The best patriot Is one who strives
to promote his country's interests
and save 1t from disaster: and what
disaster Is greater than war or has

STUDENTS "RATE" A FACULTY.

To what an extent should students
rate the abilities OF faculty members?
The opinion Of one authority upon
the matter is expressed in the New
York Evening Post.
"Discreetly managed, the rating Of
the faculty Of university by its
students would be Of value" Profess
sor +. L. Thorndike Of Columbia
University said. Il would rather say
that an instructor could we'll afford
to spend $50 to 800 year in getting
the frank opinion Of his students
upon his work in the class room.
Students are good judges Of the
teaching ability Of their professors,
and can determine the efficiency Of
the teaching staff far more accurately
than professors can determine how
much students are learning.
with 40 students studying his
work. the instructor faces a ratio Of
40 to in the class room. OF course
the student judgment does not in
clude the executive ability of the
professor and many other qualities"
The opinion OF three distinctive
types OF high school pupils in regard
to the same teacher. sizes up" the
good and the poor qualities Of a
teacher pretty accurately. Even the
good opinion of the little primary
girl who says Il have a pretty new
teacher and don't know which l like
her the best in. the pink or the blue
dress" is worth having.
Sometimes students know a pro-
fessor better than the other members
OF the faculty know him. The in
structor who is in sympathy with the
aims and aspirations Of his students
always seems companionable to the
members Of his class, but he may
be regarded as an impractical Wis
ionary by older members Of the fac
ulty who have become "soured" with
their own views OF life.
There is also the elderly professor
who has grown careless and has lost
his grasp on the subjects he teaches.
The college president and old faculty
members still look upon him as a
great man.
II a professor could in some way
get hold Of the honest opinion of his
students. probably his efficiency
would be increased. The quotation
by Robert Burns certainly applies:
"Oh wad some power the giftie gle US
To see oursel's as others see us!
II was frae monte a blunder free US,
And foolish notion"

nomically to the nation as whole :?
General John L. Organ goes 50
far as to say. Il would be traitor
to my country if l did not do all in
my power to abolish war;" Has not
the time come now, today, for the
public to be told and taught that the
generally accepted idea OF patriot
ism must give way to different one,
the right, far higher and more
inspiring ideal. one that will lead
ton of warfare and its subsequent
distress and anguish to peace and
prosperity for every one?
TO prevent the curse of war from
fastening itself again on the country
we love we must exert ourselves to
work against it until it is banished
from the earth. All are needed.
Youth and age alike can share this
great work and help to hasten the
day when peace and good will shall
reign. For that time is sure and in
evitable and whether the force that
will bring it be moral or econolnic
one, the world is headed for univer.
sal peace. In spite of it's long, sad
war history the change is coming,
the end of warfare is at hand and
the era of peace is ahead. In the
natural process of events peace Is
bound to come-as public schools
and public suffrage. It may be re-
tarded by ignorance and stupidity.
1t cannot be prevented. Let us then,
each and every one. prove ourselves
to be patriots of the highest order by
doing what we can in the joyful
task of establishing peace upon the
earth. Let us help to hasten the
day Of its coming.
