MAINE REBUkEs BlGoTRY
Boston Transcript

An outstanding feature of the Re-
publican primaries in Maine is the
rebuke administered by the represen-
tatives in that State of the party Of
Lincoln and Roosevelt to an eleventh
hour appeal to religious bigotry. ON
the eve of the primaries the Rev
erend Judson p. Marvin, pastor of
the Universalist Church of the Mes
siah in Portland, is reported to have
bombarded the State with an attack
upon Governor Baxter based upon
the charge that the Governor catered
to Catholic voters at the expense of
Protestant voters. 1t appears that
the governor is a lifelong member of
the Congregationalist Church; that
his sister, the late Miss Emily BaX-
ter, an accomplished musician, was
for a time the organist in the Sacred
Heart Church of Portland. Roman
Catholic parish. At the time of her
death the governor presented to this
church the organ which some years
before had been built at the home
Of his sister and he ventured to at
tend the services on Easter Sunday
at which the organ was dedicated.
of his sister, his attendance at the
memorial services and the fact that
ne emulated the example of President
Harding in offering a message Of con-
dolence at the time of the death Of
the Pope, brought upon the governor
the wrath of the Rev. My. Marvin,
who addressed a letter to the Prot
estant clergymen of the State criti-
cising him for these acts. Typical
of the tone of this letter is the fol-
lowing excerpt:
Will the people Of Maine stand
idly by and allow the Chief Exec
utive of this State to recognize
officially any institution that has
the disruption of our public
schools as its purpose? Are we
TO have the school system of the
Middle Ages and Continental Eu-
rope grated upon US with official
gubernatorial approval and not
feel an issue flung squarely in our
faces?
The easy triumph of the governor
over this vicious appeal to religious
blgotry can be hailed as satisfactory
evidence that the plain people of
Maine affiliated with the Republican
party abOminate bigotry no less than
their fellow Americans in other
States. Fortunately for the good
name Of the Universalst Church, the
pulpit politician of Portland must
not he regarded as in any sense
representative of his denomination.
Unhappily we are not without big
OTIS in every denomination, but all
! bigots and all pulpit politicians who
| resort during a campaign, or at any
other time. to an appeal to religious
blgotry look alike to the true Amer
lean VINO believes in Straight Ameri-
oanism Religious bigotry, race pref
udlce and class consciousness con-
stitute an infamous triple alliance in
our national household that would
dynamite that American character
which is as much the spiritual cor
nerstone of the Nation as is the Con-
stitutIon its political cornerstone.
To the congratulations due Cover
nor Baxter upon his re nomination
should be added Fluctuations to the
people of Maine upon their timely
rehuke to the cOWardly attempt of a
pulpit politician to light the fires of
religious higotry upon the hearth
stone of the Republican party.

Autoists' Caution
Lessons With Years
r. r. Figures Show

Baltimore, June 22.-Are drivers
of motor vehicles becoming more
negligent. less regardful of their
own safety?
1t would seem so from actual OBJ
servations made by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. For more than
two years this railroad has been
placing men at Crossings where
there are usually a large number of
automobiles passing. These observ-
ers make note Of the number of ma
chimes crossing and take down the
license numbers of those whose driv-
crS fail to take any prccaution to
assure themselves that it is sa Q
to pass over the tracks. This safety
precautiOn consists of the drivers
slowing down or stopping, and then
looking and listening. When driV-
err dashes over without taking any
of these precautions, his lcens
number is noted and a card telling
him of his negligence is sent him.
with request to guard his life and
property the next time he goes over
u railroad track.
In the year 1910 the Baltimore
&; Ohio observers took note of :9S,-
600 vehicles in the states through
which it operates. In that year, &C
cording to the records of these OBJ
servers, there were %, $50 drivers
who failed to take any precautions
at highway crossings. This was q
per cent of the total observations
made.
In April of this year there were
1G477 autom obiles hecked by the
railroads observers. There were
2912 of the drivers of these reported
as failing to stop, look or listen be-
fore passing over the tracks. This
was a safety failure" of IS per cent.
For the first four months of this
year there were 5S.S16 machines OBJ
served and the failures" reached II
per cent.
TIE increase in the number of
drivers failing to take safety pre-
cautions seems clearly to indicate. in
the opinion of the roads safety de-
partment, that the automobile driv-
er is becoming more negligent.

To settle a controversy here: are
cats ever cannibals, the male gender

two months kittens, good smart ones.
One was found dead, then one and
another disappeared. When the last
one was missed hunt was made for
the remains, and in the farther cellar
where they never went themselves
were found two little tails and ono
little odd leg. They could run
around lively, but not up or down

DR.. LADD, THE QUACK

The dispatch which reports the
attack Of Senator Ladd Of North Da-
kota on the banks, his proposal to
pay the bonus with paper money is
sued for the purpose. classes him
as d Republican. The Congressional
Directory refers to him as Nonparti-
san Republican. The speech he de-
liycred reveals him as a plain dema-
gogue.
He knows better. He was educat-
cd in the Maine schools, taking
degree from the L. OF ". One so
educated knows that If the Govern
ment at the behest of politicians
prints paper money to pay the
bonus it will then he called upon
at the behest Of politicians to
print paper money for the schemes
Of the agricultural bloc and so
on, in other words we will enter
on the broad highway to financial
chaos over which Germany is trav-
eiling and 70 which Russia has ar
rived. When, if ever, that condition
is reached foreign nations will know
better than to try to borrow money
from the United States to save them
from bankruptcy.
The bankers are Just as likely to
med fair criticism as other inter
csts. but this much is certain, their
prosperity depends on the prosperity
Of the country, a fact we'll under
stood by them, and which should be
as he is with Nonpartisan League
heresies. He represents in the Unit
cd States Senate those visionaries-
to put it mildly-who thought they
could get along without heed of the
well-knoWn facts and principles on
which sound business is based. They
had no use for bankers who oper-
ated in accordance with those prin-
ciples; they took over the banks to
run according to their notions. What
happened every well informed citi-
zen should know. They could no
more make two and two amount to
FIVE than could other Missionaries.
North Dakota is paying the penalty.

Surely If the bankers deserve criti-
cism we should insist that it should
be made by those who have some
knowledge of the subject discussed
and some integrity in telling the
truth, if we are to give it any cred
cnce. Least of all should We listen
to such as Ladd, who represents
only his own political ambitions and
