GOOD TRAINING BY WHATEVER
NAME

Some appear to have taken Gov
ernor Baxter's reference to the train
ing at Camp Devens to convey the
idea that this training is in citizen
ship rather than in military matters.
II we accept these words of Abraham
Lincoln: Il go for all sharing the
privileges Of the government who as
sist in bearing it's burdens, then we
may say, if We please, that the train
ing given under the auspices of the
Federal Government at Camp Dew
ems Is a training in citizenship. 1t
none the less is a military training as
far as it goes, not sufficient to turn
out trained warriors but fitting them
to handle arms should ever they be
called to the defense of their country.
There were those hustled into the
service and taken across to France in
the late war, even rushed into battle
before they knew how to load and
fire their rifles, a procedure little if
any removed from actual murder.
Our Government is trying to make
impossible recurrence of such a de-
plorable situation. Congress appro-
priated money for preliminary mil
itary training. That is what Camp
Devens has to offer. Mothers who do
not raise their sons to be soldiers,
whatever else happens, need not
send them to Devens, though I'M
doubtedly those sons would there be
helped to a better citizenship than
they are likely to attain without it.

to sell and rent the houses, he means
that the project shall have a more at
tractive name than that under which
it has been known during the time that
the government has owned it. To get
name which will be appropriate and
attractive, he has advertised in the
Times that he will give prize to the
person Offering the suggestion for
name which meets approval of three
disintercsted Judges. 1t is well that
this part of the city, almost suburb,
should be given name Of it's own.
Mr. Spear feels confident that he has
made no mistake in his purchase OF
this property. He looked over the sit
uation here very carefully before he
made his investment and believes That
Bath is in for increased prosperity.
He is also of the opinion that, when
people find that they can live more
cheaply in Bath than in some other
sections of the State. that they Will de-
sire TO locate here. Already number
of travelling men are said TO be consid-
ering locating, their families here and,
if this is the case. they will prove a
good advertisement for the city, for
travelling men, as a rule. are not slow
in boosting those places that meet with
favor. 1t is not to be wondered that
while the houses were government
owned. and their future indefinite. that
they did not find favor with tenants.
for few men care TO occupy nome
which may be sold from under them
most any time. Now that the houses
are in private control this feeling Will
be eliminated. Ii has developed, since
the sale, that some of the bidders, had
they been successful, would nave
wrecked the houses and carried away
all that was movable. BY Mr. Spears
purchase, the houses are saved for

them over and will try TO fill them with
tenants who will help along the pros
perity of the city.--Bath Times.

and stable price fixed by the Govern
ment. The farmers are shouting for
it, because in their cupidity or
stupidity they have grown too much
wheat. They set out large acreagss
during the war when America was
trying to feed the world and wheat
was gold. They set out the same
large acreage this year, and now
lrave nightmare visions of bursting
granaries with no buyers and the
mortgage overdue.
Fiat wheat is no more reasonable
than fiat potatoes in a good potato
year, or fiat cotton when the South
ern cotton growers raise bumper
crop, or fiat sugar cane when Cuba
plants more than the international
buyers wish to purchase. Dear po-
tatoes, high priced cotton clothing,
costly sugar would result from
arbitrary high prices placed by the
Government on any of these COM
modities. Dear -four is the only pos
sible answer to fiat wheat.
The country at large has known
what it is to go through a period OF
defla ton. Merchants who over
stocked to catch wartime high
prices went bankrupt when the crash
came and the banks withdrew their
credit. That wartime water has
been squeezed out; buying is wiser
now and stocks kept UP just to meet
the public's demands. The farmers
with too much wheat are suffering
foH the same reason as the merchant
suffered who had too much sheddy
clothing, bought at high prices and
salable only at extremely low ones.
The farmer must take his medicine
just as the rest of the country did.
Senator La Toilette, who holds the
mirror of discomfort up to the coun-
try and sees his own reflection in 1t
as third party's presidential choice,
hints darkly that there will be a
split in Republican and Democratic
ranks unless they nominate men who
are "pr0gressive," Progress to that
part of the country which applauds
his utterances and has just sent
Magnavox Johnson to the Senate
means principally fiat wheat.

CONSPIRACY FOR FARMERS
VOTES

"There is conspiracy among GER
tain factions to misrepresent and
discourage the farmer" declares E. T.
Meredith, former secretary of agri-
culture and he declares the farmer
will receive half million more for
his grain crop this year than he re-
ceived last year, Notwithstanding the
slump in wheat.
OF course there is conspiracy
among a certain type of demagogues
to get boosted into Office by discon-
tent among the farmers. There is
legitimate cause for discomfort
among farmers, but 1t is by no
means confined to farmers and is the
result of readjustments from prev
ious conditions, to large extent.
The farmers are being farmed by
these demagogues because it is
thought more votes can be gotten
from their discomfort than from some
OF the others.
Mr.. Meredith does not say who he
thinks are among the prime movers
in this conspiracy but he does en-
phatically say that Senator Brook
hart of Iowa had never been known
to exhibit sufficient sustained eXer-
ton to get at facts in any economic
problem he had attempted to discuss.
This should go without saying, for
Brookharts mouth confirms it.

Philippine Independence

washington PoSt)
The basic question of independence
for the F'ilipinos is one that can not
be settled by petitions from the
Manila politicians or by attacks upon
the Americans sent to the Philip
pines to act for the United States.
1t is a question that must be settled
by the good conscience of the United
States government, acting in obedi-
ence to the mandate of the American
people. The question Is surrounded
with important considerations which
the Filipinos do not even know, much
less understand. Americans them
selves, in the mass, are not familiar
with all the factors in this problem.
The United States government, how
ever knows these factors and must
bear them all in mind when acting,
if it is to do justice to America, the
Philippines, and the world.
The demand for independence by
any people is one that arouses
sympathy. At the same time, moth
ing is easier than to exploit for pri-
vate ends the desires of people for
political freedom. The allegation can
be easily made that any nation that
withholds another's independence is
tyrannous; but it is another thing
to prove that the United States is
abusing the Philippines. The indie
pendence of the Filipino people,
when it can be maintained by them,
is desired by Americans. Premature
independence, followed by anarchy,
foreign domination, or resumption of
American protection is not desirable,
and will not be permitted by the
United States.
A long course Of political education
IL necessary before the Filipino peo-
pie will be able to govern them
selves. They must be able to pass
augment upon political agitators and
demagogues if they would hold that
independence after it is gained.

Why Stay Fat?
You Can Reduce

The answer of most fat people is that it
is too hard, too troublesome and too dan
gerous to force the weight down. Marmo-
la Prescription Tablets overcome all these
difhcuties. They are absolutely harmless,
entail no dieting, exercise, or absurd
greases and salves. and have the added
advantage Of cheapness. A case is sold at
one dollar by all druggists the world
over. or send the price direct to the Mar
moia Co., 4612 Woodward Ave, Detroit
Mich. Now that you know this, you have
no excuse for being fat, but can reduce
steadily and easily without going through
long sieges of tiresome exercise and star
walton diet or fear Of bad effects-Adv.
