OUR OBLIGATIONS AND HAITI

There really would seem to have
hecn little need for eX-Secretary
Lansing to explain why the Wilson
administration undertook to straight
en- out the affairs of Santo Domingo
and Haiti. 1t was generally under
stood to have been done to avoid
giving any excuse to a foreign power
for taking charge in protection of its
interests, especially when anarchy
broke loose in Port -au-Prince. Our
duty was plain then. Mr.. Lansings
letter, however. serves to refresh the
memory, and that is commendable.
The serious matter for present con-
sheraton is how long should we stay
there and to what extent should we
inflict our authority on the inhabi
tants. The charge that moneyed in
tercsts see there rich fields for eX
plotting is but a natural conclusion.
That is what one would expect to
happen where opportunity invites but
nevertheless it won't do to disregard
it, or to add one day to our occupa-
ton of the island or to take one jot or
title from the powers of the inhabi
tants 10 govern themselves, in the in
terests of these eXploiters.
The Monroe Doctrine fOrbidS that
we should tolerate outside interfer
cnce on our threshold. Our own
self respect and sense of justice for
bid US to shirk our duty. We are
under obligation to see that the
island shall not be menace to our
health or to our safety in other ways.
Provision being made against these
conditions our practical duty will
have been fulfilled. 1t is not wise
for US or any other country to try
and make over after our own pattern
people of another. When the people
of this island pay their debts and
keep the peace they should be free to
keep their country. their laws and
customs, and while we are policing
that island we should not permit land
grabbcrs to take advantage of the
opportunity to sneak in under our
protection.

PAY YOUR WAY, GENTLEMEN

States War over Automobile Law
Growing Bitter."-Headline.
But why the bitterness? The law
curing trucks coming into this
State to be registered was passed,
we understand, for the purpose of Sc
curing from the owners of such
trucks their proper contribution to
the roads they are wearing out.
There is no good reason that has
been advanced why those who wear
out the roads Should not pay for the
damage they do. No matter whether
they come from Massachusetts and
wear out Maine roads or whether
t.ey go from Maine and wear out
massachusetts roads they should
make good the wear and tear.
1t is conceivable that an individual
wishing to take a truck load across
the state line, perhaps farmer wish
Ing to deliver a load 'of produce,
would feel annoyed and perhaps con-
slider that injustice had been done
by insisting that he should pay for
the privilege. But the law was not
passed to cause him annoyance. 1t
was passed to provide way where
by those making a business of using
our roads for general trucking
business and in so doing wearing
them out should contribute TO high
way maintenance.
Chairman Nelson of the Maine
Highway Commission is quoted as
,a,ing that he thinks Names policy
good one whatever Massachusetts
may do, and that he expected her Of
hcials to do what they have done. We
think this is the right view to be
taken of the matter, that there is no
legitimate cause for irritation on ac-
rount of it. Let the truck owner as
every other user of the highways,
pay his proper share of the upkeep,
for only il that way may they be
kept up and that is what everyone
wishes TO have done.

Editorial Comment
Bosses That Stay
(\. Y. TincS)

In 4 speech at the dinner of the
Brooklyn Bar Association, former
Justice Woodward made some sensi-
bic and well-founded observations
about the merits of the old system of
nomination that has been suppIanted
by the direct primary. One of the
avowed intentions and predicted eff
fCcts of the change was the eXtrUsioa
of the bosses. Judge Wood ward ad
Quoted the familiar, but no less stril-
ing fact, that the bosses haven't been
cXtruded. They are continuing to do
business at the old stand:
Any one here who has kept track of
the politics of New York State for
the past thirty years cannot help,
when he looks about him now, being
impressed with the fact that polit-
zeal leadership or bossship is now
a permanent thing, and, unless death
has removed them, every man in ev-
cry large community in the state of
New York who was in a position of
political leadership when the direct
primary law passed twelve or fifteen
years ago is still in that leadership;
and, with good health and the pres
ent system continuing, | think that
my esteemed friends McCooey, Liv-
ingston, Murphy, koenig. Ward,
Barnes, Aldrdge, Greiner. Fitzpatrick
Fancher and John F. O'Brien will
complete their lives>ip this honorable
leadership.
The case is the same elsewhere.
We know with what ironical enthu-
sasm the late Boes Penrose well
coined the direct primary. The
friends of the change made the mis-
take. common among innovators, OF
confounding a mere mechanical in
strumentality with an essential eff
Gent cause. The Indifference and
abstention of the majority of the vot-
ers, the superior conference. skill and
organizing power of the bosses and
their henchmen, maintain the old
rulers in their seats. The disadvant-
ages and abuses Of the old system
continue. The new system has added
disadvantages and abuses of its own.

THE FARMER WANTS

United States Senator Frederick
Hale has received letter from w.
]. Thompson of South China, master
of the Maine State Grange, and chair
man of the executive committee OF
the National Grange strongly favor
ing the Hale amendment to the tariff
bill providing for the free importation
of potash to be used in commercial
fertilizer. The letter reads as fol-
lows:
Dear Senator: The Maine farmer
is naturally in favor of protective
tariff on American industries and on
farm products but since he is large
user of commercial fertilizer of
which potash is principal ingredi-
ent and his experience during the
war showed that American potash
could not be supplied in sufficient
quantity and of suitable quality to
meet his needs he is strongly in fav-
or of the Hale amendment to II. r.
No. 7456 providing for free potash.
"Yours truly.
"W. J. Thompson,
Master Maine State Grange,
chairman executive committee the
National Grange"
Mr.. Thompson called upon Senator
Hale Tuesday. with d. j. Lowell,
Master of the National Grange of
Fredonia, New York, promising the
Senator their utmost support in his
amendment for free potash. Mr..
Thompson said the Maine Changers
were solidly behind Senator Hale in
his fight to take the duty off potash
and no piece of legislation has Great
cd quite so much antagonism among
the farmers as the present duty pro-
Vidcd for IN the tariff bill.
Mr.. Lowell assured Senator Hale
he would do everything possible in
supporting the Hale amendment and
is now getting in touch with grangers
throughout the country calling their
attention to the amendment put in by
the junior senator from Maine and
asking them to enlist the support of
their senators in behalf of the Hale

Maine GOSSIP
The Green Train Check

little girl sat in a railway train,
She was weary and dirty and sad
When her bright eye spotted the green
train check
That the lady behind her had;
1t was tucked in the seat where the
little girl sat
And the color caught her eve
Don't touch" they said, the conduc-
Must have It by and by"
The check was only a pastcboard slip
With a hole punched here and there.
Bent and broken and dirty and limp
And very much worse for wear;
But just because it mustn't be touched
She wanted it all the more,
Until at last her creeping hand
Had knocked it to the floor.
And SO it is in our lives each
day,
Though It's much We mean to gain.
The thing that lures is the thing
Like the check in the railroad train.

James Sloan of Portland, veteran
, employee of the Grand Trunk Rail-
way, who has just retired on pen
sion after so years of service in Cana
da and this country, was never in but
one accident while he was engineer.
That was in Ontario a good many
years ago when he was engine driver
for the Great Western Line, SUISSE
quently merged with the Grand Trunk,
and in speaking of the experience he
remarked that it had taught him that
an engineer never knew just what to
do in a case of this kind. Mr.. Sloan
engine ran over a COW, and as it was a
small engine and a large COW, the ma
chine was overturned. When the fire.
man saw that collision with the ami
NAL was imminent he called out to the
engineer to jump, but Mr. Sloan stuck
to the engine, and went over with it.
| The fireman jumped and was killed,
but Mr.. Sloan escaped without injury.
Mr. Sloan completed his so years of
service with the Grand Trunk one
week ago Sunday, and the next morn
ing he was called over to the offices
and presented with a handsome travel
inc bag, safety razor outfit and a
purse.
