Want to, Extend
Library Service

Hot Springs, Ark, Mar. methods
of extending library service to the
many millions of persons in this
country who are now without it. will
be one of the principal subjects to
come before the annual meeting of
the American Library association
here next month, April % to 2S.
Club women, school superintend-
ents, secretaries of Chambers Of
Commerce, representatives of civic
clubs, all prominent in their lines of
work, have been called to discuss
this new work of extension. Chief
among these is Alvin NJ. Owsley,
commander of the American Legion.
The legion is reported as especially
interested in the work as the ex-
service men remember the camp Ii
braries maintained by the association
during the war and in numerous in
stances have reported their regret
that similar service is not available
in their home communities.

Tuesday evening, the senior class

many senior classes have enjoyed the
cordial hospitality of Principal and

one of the notable events of the sem

A very novel program had been ar
ranged to make IL a real state or

oped in the decorations, the games
and even the little cakes, which were
served with the ice cream. were deco
rated with miniature Maine fags
bearing the emblem of which we are
all so proud, "Dirigo."
Shortly after the students arrived
each was decorated with some article
Or product which was grown, made or
manufactured in Maine. Later they
were arranged in six groups which
made the guessing contests progress
sive. These consisted of a miscellan-
couS group. a geographical group, re-
buses of the Maine towns. Maine in
dustries, past leaders of Maine and
the series proved especially delight
full since Mrs. Newton had obtained

In addition to the members of the

The Editors Letter Box, care Of Ken
nebec Journal
Augusta, Maine
Sir:
Many opinions have been expressed
through your columns in regard to
the returning of the Confederate
flags now in trust" at the State Cap
itoi and l hope you will welcome an
opinion from a common soldier
whose comrades were responsible for
those flags being placed in the Cap
itol.
Those flags were never placed in
trust to the State to serve as mon
uments of vengeance against our
Southern sisters and brothers, but to
perpetuate the memory Of our COM
rades who made the supreme sacri-
flee before the Confederate units,
whose names appear on those flags.
When the soldiers of '6l presented
those flags to Governor Cony, and the
people of this State, to be held in
trust to perpetuate the memory of
the soldiers, who gave their lives in
those engagements, did he mention.
when accepting those flags, Il accept
this State" but only for period of
fifty or so years, when propaganda
may cause this trust to faltcr and
the flags returned to the strangers in
the South? No. they were ordered
to be placed in cabinets and preserv-
ed for all time in honor of the sold
iers of Maine and especially those
whose regiments are mentioned in
particular. They We're never placed
to inspire vengeance, and for that
reason, card calls attention to all
men approaching those cabinets to
remove their hats, those hats come
off not for vengeance, but in rever-
ence to those men, who lost their
lives before those colors.
Some mention. they should be re-
turned for reason of hospitality.
What greater hospitality ever was
extended to people than that at
AppomattoX on April 9th. 1868. Those
flags should stay where they are and
where the soldiers of 81 expected
they would, when they were placed
IN trust to the citizens of Maine But
II the Northern Governors feel that
now they should 'faltcr' in a trust
placed in the state of Maine over
fifty years ago. let them propose TO
our sisters of the Confederacy, that
all flags be placed in that great
building erected to the memory of
our great commander in chief. (the
Lincoln Memorial in Washington
whose trust never faltered.' and
whose spirit knew neither malice or
hatred, and where no impulse of ven
gcance ever sought refuge in his
heart. Let Maine Honor Her Trust"

THE PRESIDENT INSISTS

The Senate decided 1t did not have
time to consider the matter Of hav-
ing this country represented on an
International Court which might at
ford a basis Of international peace.
1t had an abundance Of time for lis
tening to Senator Ladd's long f1libus-
'1ering speech against the shipping
bill when he talked. not of the bill
but Of the fraudulent" gold standard,
in order to kill" time. 1t does not
necessarily follow. however. that
President Harding, hasn't time to
insist on his rights. included in which
is his right to go ahead with ar
rangements for representation in
this court.
Anyone inclined to doubt the Pres
ident's unfaltering determination
better recall the bonus and shipping
bills and read what he wrote to a
friend in Ohio following the Senate's
refusal to take action. Here is part
Of that letter:
1.-The recommendation that the I'm
tied States adhere to the protocol I'M
der which this court has been Great
ed was not put forward without the
most thorough and matured dellbera-
ton. Those who at this time are
entrusted with the direction of the
international relations of our cOun-
try are firmly convinced that this
move not only would represent the
wise policy for our own people, but
would be an emphatic testimony OF
our purpose to encourage every feas-
ible project for establishing the rule
of law, as opposed to the rule OF
power in this world.
THE whole story of civilization has
been the story of the efforts to sub
stitute the domination of justice I'M
der law, for armed might, l may say
frankly that it is incOnceivable to me
that the American people, who have
so long been devoted to this ideal.
should refuse their adherence now to
such a program as is represented by
this tribunal Nothing could be farth-
err from the purpose of the Admins
tration than to suggest that our
our country surrender any of its con-
troll over fundamental rights and des-
. TIMES. But we may be sure that diff
ferences will always arise among
States and peoples, precisely as they
have always arisen between individ-
ials; and just as courts of justice
and equity have been set up to de-
termine issues as between individu-
ais, so it is proper and logical that
provision should be made for a like
adjudication Of those differences be-
tween nations and peoples, which
may properly be committed to such
determination"
There are others who cannot con-
ceive of the American people turning
their backs on such a proposition as
Is this International Court.

HOW WORDS COME

PhiIoIosists Can Read History from
Words a Country Uses

Sometimes words are borrowed
bodily from another language. Some
times a root word is borrowed, often
est from the Latin or Greek, and an
English ending given 1t. Again, we
take two old words, join them to-
gether and make a. new one. At first
we separate them by the hyphen, but
after awhile that is left out, and the
two are mingled as single word.
Then, we take a prefix, or sufiix.
from some other tongue, and add IT.,
after or before, and we have another
new word. Or when a word is too
long, we shorten it-because we Eng
lish speaking people are great for

Gen. Sherman Was
Southern Educator

Baton Rouge. La. Mar. Launch
ing of preparations for the annual
reunion Of the United Confederate
Veterans to be held in New Orleans
in April has recalled to Louisiana
historians an interesting fact in con-
nection with one of the outstanding
figures of the Civil War which is
known to few persons of the present
generation.
General William Tecumseh Sher-
man, who headed the march to the
sea- through Georgia, resigned as
head of a southern educational insti-
tuition in 1861 to tender his services
to Ohio, his native State.
There hangs in Garig Hall, at
Louisiana State University here, an
oil painting of General Sherman, who
was the first superintendent of the
old Louisiana State Seminary, at
Alexandria. The Seminary was
burned in 1869. was relocated in
Baton Rouge and became Louisiana
State. General Sherman, who grad
uated at West Point. attained the
rank of Colonel in the army. resigned
his commission, and was elected
superintendent of the Seminary in
1859.
A member OF the faculty of the
Seminary was Colonel Samuel II.
Lockett, Commandant of Cadets. who
graduated second in the class of 1859
at West Point. Colonel Lockett was
an artist of note and the portrait of
General Sherman now in Garig hall
was painted by him at Alexandria.
Colonel Lockett, incidentally. enlisted
in the service of the Confederacy at
the outbreak of the war and as chief
engineer with the troops at Nicks-
burg planned the Notifications at
that point which withstood for many
months the siege of the Federal
forces under General Grant.
The portrait Of General sherman
hung over the n,antel in the library
of the Seminary at Alexandria and
when the building burned 1t was car
ried to safety by the cadets.
