And now the Maine League OF
Women Voters has come out in de-
tense OF the direct primary. The
women will conduct campaign to
prevent the politicians even getting
as far as a referendum with their
pet scheme. This may not be pos
sible. for the legislature is pretty
largely composed Of politicians, but
it is 4 perfectly legitimate fight
TO attack the Objectionable leglsla-
ton at its source. The politicians
are playing a silent game. They DO
not welcome agitation, for in every
discussion they get the worst OF the
argument. The reason for their OPP
position to the primary cannot be
kent under cover-they can control
conventions, but they cannot con
troll primaries. There have been
some bad political upsets recently,
and the politicians are nursing their
bruises.

WHY the Pumpkin Devil?"

Most intimately associated with
Halloween in the minds OF every
body is the "jack-o lantern made
usually of a followed pumpkin with
"A candle inside. But how many
know the meaning and origin Of
that illuminated pumpkin head?
Who is Jack? And why the
lantern?
The answer is that Jack is de-
mon of nocturnal habit, who haunts
matsny places, and he uses lam
tern to see his way about. He has
another name. which is 'Will-o'-the-
wisp."
Jack is exceedingly ancient; he
is prehistoric. In earlier days,
when very little was known of the
laws of nature, everything that was
not understood was attributed to
the supernatural. In swampy places,
or where there are stagnant pools,
my ST erious and unearthly lights are
sometimes seen lowering, or moving
about in a way suggestive of lanterns
carried To and fro. Many person
has been misled by them into boys
at night.
We anow now that these lights
are nothing but luminescent marsh
gas, but in former times they were
commonly attributed to demons who
maliciously employed them to decoy
lost wayfarers. And they gave to
these demons the name of Jack of
the Lantern" or lantern"
Halloween, as everybody knows,
is the annual festival of all the de-
mons and il hecame custOmary SO
long ago that no one can say when
1t began, to represent Jack with a
hollow pumpkin.-N. Y. Herald.

REV. WALTER REID HUNT
Now at Head of Unitarian Church

Rev. Walter Reid Hunt, a former
pastor of the Ellsworth Unitarian
church, has resigned as pastor of the
First Unitarian church at Orange, N.

can Unitarian association. His

yember /. Mr.. and Mrs. Hunt will
continue to reside in Orange.
When the Unitarian churches OF
America raised special fund of
S3,OO0,0O0, two years ago, $25O,OOO
of this amount was apportioned for
the Department of Church Extension,
and Mr.. Hunt was placed in charge
as field secretary. Under his di-
rection the department has been de-
veloped so that the need or the neio
secretary devoting all his time to the
work has become necessary.
Since Mr. Hunt became pastor OF
the church in Orange twenty-four
years ago the membership mas
doubled, and the improvements in
cluded the erection of a parish
house and the installation OF pipe
organ.
For seventeen years MI. f1un' nao
been president of the Children's Ala
and Protective Society of the
oranges, and has been actively
identified with other philanthroplc
organizations of the state ana com.
munity. He served as president OF
the State Conference of Charities for
eight years, and was also secretary
of the Orange Public Bath assocla-
ton for several years. He is dl-
rector of the Orange free library.
Mr. Hunt, who is a graduate OF
Bowdoin college and Harvard "
yinity School, was ordained in 1884.
His first charge was at Duxbury,
Mass, and later he became pastor OF
the First Unitarian church at ELS
worth. He went from Ellsworth TO
West Orange in the fall of 1898. He
is not forgotten by his many ELS
worth friends and parishioners, VINO
congratulate him, and the American
Unitarian association, on his ad-
yancement to this important post.
