think it necessary for people to keep

expected to have hidden away in

not pay one cent for admission to

question the mental condition of any

Why He Hangs Around the Office

Gay +. House in Public Ledger
Other men at liberty on parole
seek diversion outside their narrow
groove. A newspaperman goes to his
Office and stays there. On his days
off he is around the office most of the
time. Take the office in which he
works away from a newspa permar
and you have wrecked his life.
one reason we like to be around Q
newspaper office on election night is
that it is the only place ir which Sc
ronity and calm is maintained. Out
side there is noise and confusion and
foolish talk. There is a tradition of
much hustle and much
racing to and from a newspaper
office on nights when big news
breaks. We never saw any Of it. II
there were such hustle and confusion,
they'd never get the paper out.

ANOTHER CASE OF sPILLlNe

Cordell Hill may be likened to a
gushing spring trying to make an
oasis in the Democratic desert with
regular intervals of spouting. His
latest was at the Jackson dinner in
New Hampshire this week. How
grateful to the rarched tongues of
the painting Democracy of the old
Granite State must have been these
words of assurance: THE Democrat
ic party will soon step into control
and give the country that full meas
ure of intelligent and practical re-
lief that it did after 1912"
Full measure, running over and
spilling all around the lot. 1t is i'm
possible to recover much of that
which the Democrats spilled those
years, and even picking up the beans
they spilled is long and tedious job.
One might dream 'rcams with Cor

retrieving a single bean. Cab ever

Eecomme ending the Direct Primary
Wilton. Me, May IS, 1922.

Wilton, Me, May II, l'--'
TO the Editor of the kcnncbec Jour
nal:
The convention system was aband-
oned and he primary election sub
stitutcd because the great body Of
mon were not represented at the nomi-
mating convention.
In that respect the old system did
not work as effectively as the primary
election has worked. The people are
not as fully represented in a caucus
chosen delegation as they are in the
primary election. Witness the noml-
nation of Beveridge in Indiana and the
defeat Of the machine candidate for
governor in Pennsylvania.
What was end is true Of men pollti-
cally in Maine, is true of women. We
stand on the same level. l believe
that the majority of the men of the
state, realizing perhaps more fully
than women can, the abridgment OF
power the return to the convention
system would mean. will not permi:
such return.

Equal Rights

Not too large, but busy as a bee, is
the National Woman's Party; and it
has plenty of money. Seeking the
abolition of all legal determinations
against or in favor of women, it has
had this proposed amendment to the
Constitution introduced into Con-
gross:
No political, civil or legal disabili
ties or inequalities on account Of
sex, or on account of marriage I'M
less applying alike to both sexes.
shall exist within the United states
or any place subject to their juris-
diction.
Congress shall have power to en-
force this article by appropriate
legislation.
Such an amendment, could it be
ratified, would open q boundless field
OF litigation. What would become of
all the State statutes for the protec-
ton of working women, mothers

Immediately before and after the
birth of a child? Woman industrial
workers need to be protected. The
legal inequalities which it is proposed
to destroy give them that protection.
Working women and their friends
oppose this well-meant but dangerous
equalization. Florence Kelley, sec
rotary of the Consumers League ana
a recognized authority, has asked
twenty questions, some suhdivided'
hard nuts to crack most of them
about the amendment. Are women
to lose the benefit of the statutory
eight-hour day? How can they get
an eight-hour day where workingmen
don't want one, preferring to use the
power of their organization to negou-
ate with employers? Ought women
to be forced to give up protective
laws for their benefit because work
