oh the lollypop tree
Is sight you must see,
Pink and yellow and red,
And the candy balls grow
In a nice little row
On the limb just over your head.
So II you have any,
Just come along with your penny
And make up your mind to be
brave
For a friendly old bear
In glossy brown hair
Sits smoking outside of his cave.
Yes, that's where we must go, lit
tie reader, you and I, IL we would eat
a lovely lollypop. So put your hand
in mine and come along. Maybe
we'll meet Little Jack Rabbit on the
way. Like all the little people of
the Shady Forest and the Sunny
Meadow he is fond of sweet things
Glover tops and lollypops,
Ice cream cones nd breakfast
scenes"
Well. just hear that. It's Bobbie
Redvest singing. He is saying, let
me come along too, won't you
please?"

An Earnest Of Good Will

Americas response to the call for
money to relieve the victims of fire
and earthquake in Japan should dis
pose. for all time, of the charge that
as nation we harbor an especial
grudge against our neighbors on the
other side Of the Pacific. 1t has been
said that we have been malevolently
disposed toward the people of Japan,
that we have accepted with ill-will
their rise to power. 1t has been said
that we feared the military and naval
strength Of Nippon. Yet in the hour
of a great national disaster, Ameri-
cans have given generously and I'M

That under the literacy test crooks
and other undesirables able to pass
the test can get into this country, is
a statement often made by the pro-
ponants of unrestricted immigration.
The fact is that the literacy test does
not admit any person, who would be
inadmissible on other counts. 1t
merely adds one more requirement
for admission. A man of vicious
character, an anarchist, a diseased
person, pauper, would be inadmiss-
ible regardless of the literacy test.
Passing that test gains no man ad-

Arlan Haines of Rangeley, had
rather an unusual experience one
night recently when he drove his
horse into the barn belonging to Mrs.
c. F. Lehman. When he turned on the

to the back of the horse and inflicted
several scratches before Mr.. Haines

While no definite terms have been
made public it is well understood at
Lewiston that the Catholic Diocese
of Maine is to own the Garcelon
property on the Sabattus road at a
near time, to erect thereon a school,
a church and other buildings. The
population has been increasing
tremendously in that part of the city
in recent years, and the site is one
of the most valuable in Lewiston
today. The place contains a large
acreage of fields, orchards and wood
lands, has a frontage of several hum
dred feet on Sabattus street and al
most as much on East avenue.

Secretary Hughes and The Monroe
Doctrine

(National Republican,
In a recent address before the Am
erican Bar Association, Secretary Of
State Hughes Illuminated and de-
Tended the Monroe Doctrine in a
mastery manner. The evident pur-
pose of the address was to quiet the
fears and insfnuations of some trou-
makers Especially in South Am
erica and Europe) that the Monroe
Doctrine means a peaceful conquest
Of the republics Of Central and South
America.
The essential points of the Secre-
tary's address were: a. The Doc
trine is not a policy Of aggression:
it is a policy of self defense; (2) as
the policy is distinctly the policy of
the United States, the government of
the United States reserves to itself
it's definition, Interpretation and ap-
plication; 60 the policy does not in
fringe upon the independence and
sovereignty of other American
states; misconception upon this point
is the only disturbing influence in our
relations with Latin American states.
Said the Secretary: II utterly dis
claim as unwarranted, the observa-
tiens which occasionally have been
made implying a claim on our part
TO superintend the affairs of our sis
ter republics" -
Many promoters Of the league Of
nations have called the covenant
Monroe Doctrine for the world. How
can purely American doctrine be
made werld doctrine? 1t IL found
ed on the .self-preservation of the
United States. 10 confined to that OBJ
.ject and is recognized by other ma
lions as such. It cannot be supplapt-
ed by a, world covenant. either moral
or military. ~

Irwin s. Cobb in a new guise is dis | closed as the editor of Pardon My French" the Messmore Kendall pro duction starring Vivian Martin. which comes to the Empress Theater to- night.
 MT. Cobb is responsible for the final version of the photoplay, which was taken from a story by Edward Childs Carpenter. The famous humorist has seen to it that the titles are as funny as the picture, which is a comedy of the newly rich and full of valuable sit nations.
 Vivian Martin plays the role of an actress who, out of a job, accepts a position as maid to a Kansas million aire whose money had come all of a sudden, and whose wife had an itch to be in Society-with a big s. Miss Martin is one of the best-looking wom- en on the screen, and her capabilities as a comedienne have been demon strated many times, so that her many admirers will wait for Pardon My French" with appreciation aforetime. A combination of Vivian Martin and Irwin Cobb certainly ought to be the goods!

MUSIC EXCITES M0HAMMEDANS
 TO RIOT INDIA

BANGALORE, India, Feb. 6.-Fric- tion between Hindu and Moslem con- munities has resulted in serious dis turbances in Tiptur, in Mysore prov ince, during recent weeks. Numerous assaults have been reported, and on several occasions the shops have had to close their doors. Special police forces have been called out, and now have the situation we'll under control.
 The cause of these disturbances lies in part in the differing attitudes Of Hindus and Mohammedans regarding music. Hindu religious ceremonies are usually accompanied by music. Mo, hammedans have no music at their services, and are seriously disturbed when interrupted by musical sounds.
 In 1882, the government permitted the reconstruction of a mosque within the Hindu quarters, with the distinct understanding that the Mohammedans should on no account object to process sions with music passing in front thereof. The Mohammedans now con- tend that since music was never played before this mosque from 1sS2 to almost the present time, permis' sion should always be disallowed for processions with music in that place. The Hindus, on the other hand, have been asking since 1920 for permission to take an image in procession in the streets, absolutely without restric- tions. The government, after a pro, longed inquiry, decided to admit the Hindue claim.
 The present trouble began at the time of the Dusserah procession last September. On this occasion the gov ernment refused to grant license, on account of the excited feelings of both communities and the influx of ire sponsible crowds in the city. In the following month, however, process sion was allowed. Before the pro cession occurred, the Mohammedans left the mosque in body as pro test, and the procession passed quietly.
 This incident led to high feelings between the two communities. Many individual assaults occurred, and gen eral apprehensions of breach of the peace were prevalent. On account o1 threatened violence, the Hindu shops were closed for two days. The district magistrate was called and, with 8 large police force reached the place ir time to prevent further disorder. Re Inducements are now present, and are keeping careful watch over the dis trict,
