Mayor Louis J. Brann of Lewiston
will enter the Democratic primary
lists for governor, should Ex- Senator
Obadiah Gardner of Rockland
Gefnitely decide to do so. Close
political friends of Mayor Brann are
authority for the statement as to the
position of Mayor Brann. EIX-
Senator Gardner has previously an
nounoed that he will enter the
primaries should he find a demand
tor his candidacy on the part of any
considerable number of the voters of
his party. Mayor Brann will not
enter the lists against William r.
Pattangall of Augusta alone, but will
come into the primaries in case there
should be three cornered contest,
his friends say. Friends of Mayor
Brann quote him as taking the same
stand as Mr. Pattangall has pre-
viously taken that a healthy primary
contest would be a good thing for
the party. They point out that the
only times in 40 years that the Demo-
Gratis have carried the state was
when there was a contest for the
nomination for governor.
That the male of the species is
superior to the female in higher ma
tive intelligence, a statement made
by a pedagogue, DR.. A. A. Douglas,
who arrived at this conclusion after
exhaustive examinations of school
records. led me to ask William 3.
Jack, Superintendent of the Portland
public schools, if he found such to
be the case in the schools of this
City. OF course, being a man, l had
no reason to dispute the statement
of the pedagogue, and so was quite
surprised when Mr.. Jack declared
that so far as he could see. there
was little or no difference in the
mentality of the boys and girls in
the public schools of this City.
Boys excel in some studies and
girls in Others" said Mr.. Jack, land
this makes a balance, l should say.

CHURCH MUST COMBAT COLDS
 PAGAN IDEAL

l New York, May 4-Because busi-
 ness ignores the human element in in dustry, the church must accept this
 pagan challenge, is the theme of an
 article written by Champe s. Andrews, 1 Chattanooga business man. and first published in the Universalist Leader, | Boston. It is now circulated by the 1 information service of the federal council of the churches of Christ in America.
 The author justihes the entrance of 1 the church into the industrial contro- versy and declares that the indictment of the church will be: That business, itself the creature of the most unbridled and aggressive instincts, proceeds to treat the labor CT as if the latter did not also have powerful instincts, the suppression of which are dangerous in the extreme dangerous even to business itself That its pagan slogan, Business is business, has been substituted for the law and the prophets.'
 That the means of living have been exalted above the ultimate aims and ends of life
 That the good life has been bar tered for the goods life
 That freedom of speech must cease to be either freedom or speech if 1t talks the form of a questioning of the rules under which the game of busi- ness IS played.
 That the emphasis in education must be on the acquisition of knowl- edge that will enable the student to enter business, instead of on the ac- quisition of wisdom and culture that will enable the student to enjoy that part of life not given over\to the pur- suits of business.
 That science and invention are en- couraged with an eye single to the increase of production and activity in business, with no thought that, when these ends are served, there Is grave danger that these same forces may be used for the destruction of civiliza- ton.
 That the joys of art and music have been separated from the creative instinct and become merely the com mercialized vehicle to measure the extent of wealth in the cold-storage dwelling houses or to make the wheels turn faster in the power house of commerce.
 That having standardized ma chimes, parts, operations, styles, ma terials and methods, business is now trying to standardize men, their homes, their ambitions and their cul- ture, in utter defiance of the value of the vivid and varying personality of the individual"

School For Discomfort

Fairhope, Ala, May 4-"Men who express fear about the growing disre- spect for constituted authority should turn toward Florida, says Editor Gas ton the Fairhope Courier.
 "Their attention Is directed to such institutions for the manufacture of discontent and contempt for govern ment as are now being exposed in Florida, the system under which men without money were arrested as vag- rants, and for such charges as beat ing their way on trains, fined '$25 or 90 days as poor Tabert was, and turned over to a private concern to be worked from daylight to dark, for all that could be gotten out of them by such brutality as makes the blood of a sensitive man curdle.
 'The policy is general, north and south, of treating outof- works as criminals and fning and imprisoning them, If not contracting them out. And this while men with money can commit all sorts of crimes and get away with it practically without pun i5hment.
 Can you expect men to respect, let alone love, a government which per mits it's courts and officials to make so great difference between those who have and those who need?"

HOOPER IS SNUBBED:
 REBUFFLABOR BOARD

Chicago, May 4.-Chairman Hoop CT of the Railroad Labor Board was snubbed by President Req of the Pennsylvania railroad, when he asked what action the railroad intended to take regarding the supreme courts decision upholding the boards right to censure the railroad for ignoring an order. The railroad official put 1t squarely up to Hooper by replying: We will take no action" Chairman Hooper is a heroic char acter when denouncing strikers, de lending strikebreakers or telling rail road presidents that an anti-strike law should be passed. He was far from heroic when opposing a railroad presI- dent. Instead of maintaining the att titude he assumes when dealing with workers, he writes MT. Req if he will be good enough to tell him if he in tends to obey the order of the board.
 And MT. Req administers one of the most cutting snubs ever handed a orders of the board will not be obeyed.
 The following is summary of this case:
 At conference on May 24, 1921, between Pennsylvania railroad off cials and representatives of their or ganized shop men, the latter were told they would not be recognized.
 The railroad prepared a ballot and established it's own company union" The ballot made it impossible for the regular organized shop men to vote.
 Shop men protested to the Railroad Labor Board. It was shown that but IoH per cent of the employees voted for the company 'union."
 Board ordered the railroad to hold a new election; railroad ignored boards order
 Board prepared to publicly censure railroad, which secured a temporary injunction from Federal Judge Landis ordering the board to desist from this course.
 Injunction against board made per manent by Federal Judge Page, but it was set aside by the circuit court of appeals.
 Railroad appealed to the supreme court of the United States, which sustained the board. Attorneys for the railroad and members of the Railroad Labor Board have since conferred, without success. Now Chairman Hooper lawns before the president of the railroad, and is Spurned.
