CONSTRUCTIVE ENDEAvoR VS..
pETriEOGGING

Constructive party politics in this
country has been Of the two-party
variety. While here varying shades
Of political belief were being massed
for effective effort behind the party
machine of either the Republican or
the Democratic party, foreign parlia-
ments saw conflicts between. blocs. at
times attaining the status best de-
scribed as a sort Of bloc bedlam, with
trades, intrigues, with the manipula-
ton of which political dickerers find
especial delight but no training for
actually constructive work.
This country Is permitting its
legislative affairs to fall into a
similar chaos and to this the weaken
ing Of party ties and the direct
primary contribute very materially.
Such a condition is a drag on en-
deavor. a disorganizing, disturbing
element. The affairs Of our Congress
have already been held up for days
to permit intriguers to play their
petty games. And yet this is in
America which boasts Of ability to
do things.
They are learning better in Eng
land and in Italy. In the latter coun-
try. arrangeents are being made to
give the plurality party two thirds
representation in the Chamber Of
Deputies and hold 1t responsible.
Ramsey Mcdonald, the leader of the
Labor party in England, fatty de-
clares that the two-party arrange
mint is the best for the country. the
only one which permits public. senti-
lnent to become effective He says:
1.-THE final test of democracy is not,
can 1t elect members with
mathematical accuracy. but can it
create governments broadly rep
resentative and always under control
of public opinion"

Pretty soon he came to the Shady
Forest where the birds built tiny

THIRST AND CHRISTMAS

PunchboWl traditions ana thirst
may exercise some influence on the
Holiday observances this year, what
with the difficulties smugglers OF
intoxicants are encountering. On the
whole that may be found encourag-
ing. Rotarians, Kiwanians and
many other organizations have solv-
ed problems that may have arisen
respecting how to enjoy their social
occasions without the aid of the
social glass. II we go about it in
like spirit we ought to attain like
results for Christmas.
The flowing bowl isn't an es-
sential of the Holiday spirit. 1t
never has been among the children
in whose behalf Christmas has most
to do. What so many parents spent
for liquor never did afford any as
surance that Christmas would be
made more enjoyable by the children.
1t has been demonstrated that wit
can sparkle without the aid of
champagne. Traditions and tales
Of dry Christmases should, with
time and persistent endeavor be
found agreeable ands ought to be
helpful.
1t does not strain the imagination
to think of some of those confident
in the power of money to buy good
rum anywhere, as facing Christmas
1929 with a parched tongue. This is
not likely to excite widespread SYM
pathy, though in the interests Of
mankind in general 1t should be hop
ed that the thirsty may not be
driven to drink of the wood alcohol
connections. 1t appears many gal
Ions of this have recently been ship
ped into Canada whence it Is ex-
pected to return in attractively
labelled bottles. Neither would we
wish them opportunity to partake of
the contents OF a forty thousand
gallon still recently found In a
Pennsylvania barn. This was TAX
ing the water for the mash from an
open sewer. There Is such thing as
self hypnosis, where the individual
Is able to hypnotic himself. This
might help out that traditional
Christmas thirst. Certainly it would
be preferable to wood alcohol or
sewer fed stills. Right now the en-
forcement officials throughout the
country appear to be contributing
materially to the opportunity to tame
our thirsts to the confines Of q dry
Christmas.

Editors Letter Box
Wants Maine Boy Chosen

Kennebec Journal:
l saw in today's issue that James
B. Ryan of Chelsea had been named
by Sen. Hale for the military acad-
envy at West Point.
Now / haven't anything against the
young man but it does not seem
right to take a candidate from
Massachusetts to fill place that
rightly belongs to some of our own
bright Maine boys.
The Ryans have always lived in
Massachusetts where the head of the
family was in business and the family
only came to Chelsea for the summer
returning to Massachusetts in time
for school to begin. Two years ago the
Ryan estate was sold and since then
the family have not been here at all
to my knowledge.
l am not an interested party but I
do not like to see an individual from
another state carry off anything be-
longing to Maine.
Should there be no Maine boy car
ing for the position let Mr.. Ryan
have it but if some of our bright boys
are looking for-the job let us see that
he gets it.

Silent he stands, his crutch upon the

Cnmindful of the priceless thing he

And how the world forgets in times

His shrunken form is bent, as with

Though youth still faunts it's BAN

While wan lips smile with courage

To fling a challenge to each passerby.

A group of blazing stars. a field of

Its folds unstained, is flying over
A think of spotless fame. and
beauty, too.
And as the derelict. his eyes af1ame,
Looks up and sees the emblem
