AIDING THE CAUSE OF ANIMALS

The recent centenary of the birth
of George r. Angel, founder of the
Massachusetts Society for the Pre-
yention of Cruelty to Animals, later
of the American Board of Mercy, also
the American Humane Education So
ciety. is a reminder of the truth:
1.-THE great and good do not die even
in this world"
He was great enough to put the
goodness of his heart to practical
use. to inspire others to aid, to set
in motion influences far reaching
and because of which the world is a
better place today for animals. more
especially those associated with man.
and man, himself, is the better for
tho experience.
= :. Various have been the methods de-
vised for furthering the work so
we'll established by Angel, and such
of these as have appealed to the good
sense of the public have f1ourished.
An instance of this is reported from
England where the National Canine
Defence League has established
custom of awarding medals to dogs
that have performed remarkable
feats in life saving. nine recently
having been selected for this dis
tinction. Included in these were two
! that gave the alarm of fire. one saved
1 small boy from drowning. two
saved human beings from being
gored to death and one carried at
risk Of his life rope to his master
caught in qucksand.

PUT ON THE PADDOCK

"The big fellows in the bootleg
world will occupy the attention of the
small force of Federal prohibition
agents" declared an agent in New
York, when he raided big hotel and
put paddock on the door.
This is good news, seemingly long
overdue. The power to shut down a
pl ofitable business, close a p. It pay
ing building owners and occupants, of
which violate the law is not a new
weapon in the hands of the law en-
forcement officials. Why has it not
been used before? Was it becaNse 1t
was feared this would alien-., local
support for enforcement? And now
that local support has been with
drawn in the State of New York en-
fcrcement decides to go "the whole
hog?
BY all means go the limit, hit the
high spots and hit them hard. En-
force the law on them as it is found
necessary to enforce it on ships oil
foreign countries, the laws of which
require them to carry liquor. The
small fry can be attended to later, if
there isn't time and force enough to
do that right now. But it is Uncle
Sans job and the job of all who wish
t" uphold law to make every effort
to attend to them all.

RECOGNITION OF MERIT

Those acquainted with the valuable
work of the States commissioner of
labor and Of the superintendent of
public printing will, we feel sure, re-
gard their denomination by Governor
Baxter as recognition of merit.
Roscoe A. Eddy has been commits
sioner Of labor since first appointed
by Governor Haines back in 1914.
Prior to that he had been a valuable
workeri in the affairs Of the Maine
Federation Of Labor. AS 4 public Of :
fetal he has been conscientious in the
discharge Of his duties and has evinc-
ed an ability to get things done quiet
ly but effectively. His zeal for the
cause of labor might incline him
rather strongly to that side but no
one QDestions his intent to deal fairly
and what he has accomplished has
commanded respect. He has been no.
ticeably successful in his insistence
on observance of law affecting the
safety OF employees in the industries.
Joseph P. Grenier. the superintend-
ent OF public printing. was first APP
pointed ten years ago, and with the
exception of the two years Of the Cur
tbs administration, he has held the
position. This he has done to the
satisfaction Of all. Mr.. Grenicr is
probably one Of the best posted print
ers in the State of Maine. His loyal
t. to the States interests has never
been questioned and his unusual
knowledge Of the printing craft has
saved the State many dollars.

President Harding and. if anyone is

it, it must be Mr.. Adams and not the

FIGURES AND HEALTH

Provisional census figures, an
nounced by the Department of Com
merce show that last year, as COM
pared with 1921, there was a slight
falling off in the birth rate from PA
in 1921 to 22.7 in "a states considered.
In 80 states the returns showed a
slight increase in mortality, from II. 6
to 11.9. the highest mortality being
in Maine. lat and the lowest in
Idaho, 81.
One may derive little information
from the consideration Of such figures
unless it be possible to take into con-
sideration at the same time circum-
stances which do not appear in the
report. For one thing it is quite
probable that Idaho has a much less
percentage Of old people in its popu-
lation than has Maine. Also, it is
possible that the statistics were COM
piled with greater thoroughness in
the latter state.
Be this as it may, the report is
one which should receive consider
alton, especially in Maine, where we
have natural conditions which might
be- expected to contribute to good
health and longevity. II, other
things being equal, and despite ex-
ceiient climate. and a widespread
interest in health work, with all the
WISDOM possessed in WASHINGTON
available If we but seek it, we are
1aihng to maintain a high standard
: man'festly something ought to be
done about it.

Mrs. Cecil Clay, health officer Of
Belfast makes the following an
nouncement. DIR. A. G. Young of the
State Board of Health has been in
Belfast and with Mrs. Clay visited
the dairy farm of Edward-H. Knuwl-
ton making thorough investigation,
owing to the fact that Mr.. knowlton
is i'll with typhoid fever. 1t is be-
lieved that he contracted the disease
by drinking water from a spring in
the woods where he was working, but
his stock are watered with city water
and ali bottles and other recepticals
used on the farm are washed with
city water. AS Mr.. Knowlton was
removed Immediately to the Waldo
County hospital and is still there. it

CERTAIN INCOME TAX
FEATURES

There was a falling off in the per-
cent Of people paying an income tax
in this country from SIS percent OF
the population in 1920 to 6.2S in 1921.
OF the total tax collected, $685.
10S. Maine paid $3.974.s61, and of
total of 6.662,176 returns filed Maine
filed 44,397. The average net income
reported in this State was $2S07.14,
SIS percent Of Maine people paying
an income tax, whereas the like per-
cent for the country as whole was
6.2S with an average income Of ST.
1856.
The country over the rich do not
appear to be growing richer at the
rapid rate shown in 1916. when FOG
reported an income Of million
dollars, and but 81 so reported for
the year 1921. This need not dis
courage the ambitious, for once there
were not that number of millionaires
In the country.
A feature which should excite some
apprehension is the evidence that
more Of the wealth Of the rich is
finding Judgment in tax-exempt
securities. This is not good for the
country in more ways than one.
First it is an inducement for those
privileged to issue tax-eXempt Sc
curities to issue them when condl-
dtions do not altogether warrant
such use Of the capital, but more
serious yet is the diversion of capital
from uses where it could be more
profitable to the community. 1t thus
places an added burden on enter
prize.
The capitalist is very useful
member Of society, necessary
member to society as now constl-
tuted and as it should be, but he
should have the spur Of necessity In
use Of that capital, he should be I'M
pelled to enterprise, forced to be
enterprising, in other words. Tax
exempt securities emu lie him to
avoid that obligation.

"I'm going to pick some roses for
mother" said the loving little bunny.
hopping out Of the Luckymobile. but.
Oh dear me. when hi had gathered a
pretty bunch and was about to hop
back into the Luckymobile. deep
growly voice shouted from behind the
stone wall:
How dare you steal my wild
roses?"
"Who are you?" asked Uncle Lucky
as brave as lion although his voice
didn't sound the least bit ferocious.
"I'll show YOU" replied the voice
and q big wild pig lifted his head
over the wall and gave q dreadful
grunt. Then. opening his mouth. he
shut his little black eyes and wiggled
one of his long bristly ears.
"Oh, dear, I'll give them back to
YOU" cried the little frightened bum
ny.
q "No, you WON'T" said brave Uncle
Lucky. "Those wild roses don't be-
long to this wild pig any more than
they belong to the Wild Man Of Bor-
neo." and the old gentleman rabbit
gave the Luckymoble horn a sudden
honk. which so frightened the wild pig
that he fell over backwards. and while
lie was DlChiHS UP uuSt-
ing off his back. for he was very
particular kind of pig. the two little
rabbits drove off as fast as a comet
with the wild roses for dear little Lady
Love.
Don't you ever let a pig bluff you,"
said Uncle Lucky. IF he's been a
lion maybe ! wouldn't have acted as
I did. but a pig" and the old gentle
man rabbit pulled his old stovepipe
hat down on one side of his head and
whistled. After that he took out his
gold watch and chain to see what time
it was, and would you believe 1t, it
was CO minutes past five o'clock.
Goodness gracious meebus" he
said, 1--WE can't get home in time for
our six o'clock supper. Let's go to
Miss Goose's Tea House and then
drive home by moonlight" So please
wait for the next story to hear what

Where Not To Begin Reform


Before Congress sets about IRE
forming" the Supreme Court it had
better look to itself. The Supreme
Court is an absolutely necessary part
of our system of government and
though it makes mistakes. performs
necessary service. People should
never forget that the Constitution is
a law in sense in which a statute
is not, for it is the supreme law of
the land. When a conflict comes be-
tween the Constitution and statute,
il is the duty Of the court. not so
much to set aside the statute. as to
say which Of the two laws shall
prevail, since both cannot. The
court was created for the express
purpose of doing this thing among
other things. and there is no duty the
performance OF which is more ncces-
Sary.

UNFOLDING the Law
New York Tribune


The repeal Of the Mullen Gage act
has nothing whatever to do with
Governor Smiths plea for amend
ment of the Nolstcad act. 1t does
not alter one letter of its terms. The
provisions thereof remain as much
the law of the State of New York as
if the Legislature and the Governor
had never acted. The chief effect of
the repeal is to lend moral aid and
comfort to every one to break the
law. 1t was so interpreted by the
crowds on Broadway, and Governor
Smith must have lost all touch with
the sidewalks Of New York If he
expected any other result.
Tile high moral obligation upon
every citizen to uphold the Constitu-
ton and the Federal lc- is not to
be satisfied by any such clubbing
evasion of duty as that defended
by Governor Smith in his message.
1t does not lie today in the power
of any Legislature or Governor
actually to nullify a Federal act.
But the spirit of notification is still
alive in such pleas. Shall we do as
much or as little as we can to up
hold a law of the United States Of
America? That is the plain question
with which Governor Smiths &C
ton and argument have confronted
the citizens of New York.

Editorial Comment

Bangor Commercially

The national administration states
that there will be no reduction Of
sugar duties for the purpose of low
ering the present. price OF sugar and
therefore if the price is to come down
il appears as if such action must be
the result of the refusal of the house,
wives to purchase in usual quantity.
While the tariff helps in lifting the
price it is by no means the real cause
for the duty places but a fraction Of
a cent u pound in sugar while the
price has advanced several cents a
pound. The sugar producers and
operators are the gentry who have
lifted the price to excessive figures
and the excuse that this is the nat
ural result Of the increased tariff is
but fiction
