HE'S A RARE BIRD

There is always someone ready to
take q public slam at the United
States, and that someone is generally
a citizen of the United States.
He is not only n citizen but he makes
his money here, enjoys his pleasures
here, and is indebted to this country
for everything that he has.
He is the fellow who finds every
thing wrong, and yet does nothing
to remedy the conditions of which he
complains.
He is the one who rails over the
election of inefficient men to public
Office, and yet does nothing to secure
the election of men who are known to
be efficient.
He is the bird who criticises the
authorities fon creating soft berths
for political henchmen, and yet would
grab off one of those berths in a
holy second if it came his way.
He fails the air because his neigh
Dor of means does not pay his just
proportion of taxes, and then turns

were intact and how the lips began to
smack and the mouths water rs bottles
were taken out from their long hidden

was loosened the beer went on a wild

captured when once turned loose.

ECONOMY THE KEYNOTE

Retrenchment and economy, urged
by Governor Baxter in his inaugural
address and by the Cole committee
in its recent report, will be the key
note of a large amount of legisla-
ton at the Slst session of the Maine
Legislature, if the signs do not fail.
This is indicated by events of the
first two weeks and there are many
who predict that this will be one
of the livliest sessions in years.
There are also indications that the
Legislature will contest the taking
away of any of its pcrOgatives by the
Governor and Council. That Leeis-
lators are in this frame of mind was
evident Thursday morning when the
House promptly squelched the order
adopted by the Senate that the sal
aries of tho clerks, StenOgraphcrS
and messengers of the various COM
mittees of the Legislature be fixed
by the Governor and Council. In
definite pOStpOncment was voted UNI
animOusly after a short speech by
Representative Rounds of Portland,
in which he recried the constant eff
forts to deprive the members Of the
two Houses of their powers.

Palermo, Sicily, Jan. II, CBy A. P.)
Former King Constantine of Greece
died suddenly here at II o'clock this
morning. His death was due to
cerebral hemorrhage.
The death Of eX-King Constantine
of Greece comes after q series of try
ing experiences which the former
ruler of the Hellenes had undergone
beginning with the outbreak of the
world war.
Constantine was forced off the
throne of Greece by the Allies in
1917, after he had successfully resist
ed numerous attempts to bring Greece
into the war on the side of the AL
lies. in exile until after the wars
close, Constantine was called back to
Greece in 1920, and resumed the
throne. Under his renewed reign
Greece plunged into the war with
Turkey in Asia Minor. Constantine
personally going to the front at one
period of the campaign.

Greek army in Asia Minor, speedily
followed by the revolution in Greece
which again swept Constantine off
the throne. He abdicated and retired
to Italy and had been making his
home recently at Palermo.

SchoOlteacher and

Bags on Street Car

Providence, r. l.. Jan. 11.-Miss
Mabel r. Wood. East Providence, a
teacher in the public schools of this
city. is firm believer in the
Eighteenth Amendment. But today
one of the vagaries of hurriedly
transferring from one car line to
another caused her to swap" Boston
bags with a bootlegger, and thus, in
nocently enough, become party to the
transportation of liquor.
These are the circumstances that
led her to carry to her school room
bottle of white mule" and a re-
volver. Her next act, of course, was
to report the matter to the police,
who have little hope that the man
sitting next to Miss Wood on the street
car will do the same. Miss Wood
and the police do hope, however, that
the man will be courteous enough at
least to mail her Boston bag, which
contains examination papers for her
pupils, pair of eye glasses and a
$40 bill, to her home.
