ACTORS AND RELIGION

He has his first wife and his first
friends, has been a regular church
attendant and has led clean life is
what they are saving about Fred
Stone, the comedian, whose recent
decision in snow bound train out in
Montana to devote more Of his life
TO the cause of religion has caused
comment.
This is bringing out certain facts
respecting the attitude of the
theatrical profession toward religion
which. perhaps are not as widely
known as they should be. 1t is
claimed for them that actors pos
scss a strain of reverence. The
secretary OF the Actors Equity As
ISOLATION is authority for the state
ment that a very large proportion Of
its twelve thousand membership arc
deeply religious. The $4,000 members
of the Catholic Actors Guild are all
processing Christians. All faiths arc
represented. Sir Forbes Robertson is
said to be a profoundly religious man.
John Drew has been 4 strict Episco-
ralian for half a century.
Is it too much to expect that a
similar condition will be found among
the film profession when the froth
becomes dssipated? The inquiry
might be pursued further to include
producers

A SAMPLE OF THE FILlBUSTER

The shipping which Uncle Sam has
been endeavoring to make useful to
the country, lost during the past four
months over sixteen million dollars.
Yet the Senate, the only branch of
our Government which leaves to the
capacity of the vocal organs decision
of vitality important questions, has
assumed responsibility for continue
ing those conditions.
How do the taxpayers like it? How
much is to be left if this policy be
continued. to eXpend on river and
harbor pork, farm loans and other in
cidentals, the perquisites Of certain
isms, blocs or other groups that for
the moment appear to think their po-
litical interests are mutual?
What more conspicuous or fragrant
exhibition of unconcern respecting
the rights of the country than a fill
buster to kill q matter without even
attempting to discuss it intellisently,
without attempting to perfect sub
stitute to afford relief. without vot-
ing convictions if there were any?

Statesmen, Wake Up!
(BOStOn Herald.)


Because the United Mine Workers
on April l. 1922. stopped all anthra-
cite mines and all union bituminous
mines, the people of the United
States, and of New England and New
York especially, have been in dire
distress. They have not been frozen
and starved. but it is no fault of the
United Mine Workers. Their atti-
tudc has been THE public be
damned" School children, occupants
/ of hospitals have suffered. as we'll as
men and women in every walk of life.
The authorities in Washington, in
the states of Illinois, Indiana and
Pennsylvania were duly warned dur
ing the Kenyon investigation in the
summer of 1921 that the United Mine
Workers were prepared to freeze
and starve" the people if the CLOSED
shop was refused. If the non union
mines were continued to run. the
United Mine Workers threatened the
i people of The United States. The
| shopmen's strike on the railroads had
all the appearance of being but a
part of the coal strike, and aided
greatly in the success of the United
! Mine Workers. The anthracite strike
| was complete, and after nearly six
months of strike, after the Herrn
I massacres. at the urgent solicitation
=, of the authorities in Washington the
: union operators surrendered and pro-
duct!On was resumed.
But the supply Of coal which
usually is stored in the summer was
non existent and the people have
/ been living from hand to mouth ever
since. Truly the United Mine Work
ers had the people of the United
States "hy the throat The distress
is not "psychological;" it is real.
, True, some coal operators and deal
ers have charged "all that the traffic
will bear; true. the miners have been
paid wages far above wartime wages,
but the fundamental cause of the
| coal situation is the insistence of the
United Mine Workers that none shall
I work in coal mines except he belongs
to the union. They demand the
CLOSED shop regardless of what it
costs.
| The juries in West Virginia have
already convicted one miner of trea-
son, and two of murder in connection
with the Logan, West Virginia, in
surrection. Forty seven miners have
been convicted, or have pleaded
guilty in connection with the Wells
burg, West Virginia. Instruction
; The Iierrin massacre is still unpun-
, ished The laws of Pennsylvania
still make it impossible for anyone
not member of the United Mine
Workers to work in the anthracite
| mines. The laws of Illinois and In
diana still prevent others than United
Mine Workers working in the blum
inous mines Of those states. The

To the habits of student and the
finesse of a politician Bourke Coch-

over his fellows which commands
them to listen though hostile to the

him that he enthralled one national

convention that was worn out and

Editor Kennebec Journal
Augusta, Maine.
Dear Sir:-In the kennebec Jour-
nal of February 18th, | notice that
in connection witt a statement con-
corning the comparison of the State
of Maine with other states, made at
the hearing on the resolve for the
University of Maine, the question of
opportunities for obtaining the A. B.
degree in those other states was
brought out.
There is at this time no need of
arguing the point as to whether edu-
cational opportunities offered Nv
private institutions relieve the state
of its just responsibilities. but since
some such idea must have been in
volvcd in bringing up this subject at
all, it may be well at this time to con-
slider the situation in the two other
New England states which were
among those states compared with
the State of Maine.
Vermont, a state of 1924 inhabi-
tants. has in its private institutions

Editors Letter Box
About the Vote Of Lame Ducks"

Coopers Mills, March ..
Editor kennebcc Journal:
AS to my "unWarrantcd asSump-
ton will only say l would refer
YOU to YOUR files. If. at the time of
the Republican filibuster against the
Wilson ship purchase bill. those con-
Quoting it We're ever characterized as
wind TANNERS" or if the filibuster
was ever in any way disapproved of
by the Journal. it most certainly es-
capped my notice.
In the present instance I think the
filibuster was fully justified for no
Congress-whether Republican or
Dcmocratic-that has been Tepudiat-
allowed to enact into law such a far
reaching measure as this shipping
bill.
No doubt it is true that a majority
Of the Senate favored the bill. but it
should be remembered that that ma
jorty passes out with the present
Concress-which is very likely the
reason Mr.. Harding called C special
session, in order to put his bill
through before the fourth of March.
John II. Mclaughlin.
From all accounts this last fill
buster was almost if not quite sui
generis as regards wind jamming,"
there beng not so much as a preteXt
of seeking solution of a pressing
problem. of relieving tho terrible
drain being made on the treasury
under the conditions which the fill
buster sustained.
AS for lame ducks" it surely was
no worse for them to vote for the
bill than to vote against it, or to vote
= for the river and harbor pork bill.
Lame ducks are in Congress until
the term for which they are elected
expires and they should do the work
to be done.-Ed.

Careless shampooing
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
II you want to keep your hair look
ing it's best. Many soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
free alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Muisified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseless), and is
better than anything else you can
use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of Null
sified in cup or glass with a little
warm water is sufficient to cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply moisten the hair with water and
rub the Mulsified in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich creamy Iather,
which rinses out easily. removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excess oil The hair dries quick
ly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky.
bright. lustrous. fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it is very
cheap. and a few ounces will supply
every nl4mber Of the family for
months. g3e sure your druggist gives
you Mulsified.-Adv.

typewriters and are all fitted for the
commercial course. and it will not
cost as much to run it the next year
or two as it has in the past years.
There are seten out of the eleven
Seniors taking the commercial
course. Two out of six Juniors and
Sophomores and IA Freshmen out of
Is have signed to take the CONNER
cial course next year.
This is only the second year of the
commercial course in its present
form. If one will stop to look over
the commercial course of study care
fully he will readily see that pupil
must have some grey matter i'll his
head and that he must use it in or
der to receive diploma from the
commercial course. If a pupils edu-
cation is to end at the High school
how many of us will say that the
commercial course in its present form
is not the best course we have in the
High school for him?
The commercial teacher not only
teaches the commercial subjects but
she assists in the order. Discipline and
the morality of the school and is re-
sponsible for part of the success of
the school in general. The CONNER
cial teacher took the entire RESPONSE
bility Of coaching the High school
play which was given so SUCCESSFULLY
The coaching for The Besse Prize
Speaking contest was carried on at
the same time. also orchestra re-
hearsins and basket ball coaching SO
that all three teachers were busy
with outside work concerning the
welfare of the school,
The whole question it seems, is for
the voters to decide whether they
want to maintain our High school at
its present efficiency or take step
backward and place it where it was
ten years ago.
We raised less money for schools
last year than we did in 1921, and we
will not need to raise as much this
year as we did last year. as we have
about $500 left over from last year
1t is claimed by some that our
schools are costing us more than it is
costing some of the other towns
around us: if that is so, it means Just
this: that we have better schools
than some of the other towns. For
myself. ! think that the best thing
that we have in the town of Clinton
is our schools. Why not boost them.

To the Citizens of Clinton:

To the Citizens Of Clinton:
Clinton. Maine. March ., 1923
Article IS OF our Town Warrant
reads as follows:
To see if the town will vote to dis
continue the commercial department
at Clinton high school.
At first thought. it might seem that
to cut out the Commercial Depart
ment would save the tax payer about
S1100 next year and would only mean
that the pupils. who are taking this
course would need to change over to
college preparatory or English
course. but that would only be part
OF the loss to our High school. NO
doubt some of the pupils who are
taking the commercial course would
go to some other school and continue
their course. That would mean an
extra heavy burden of expense to the
parents of those pupils and a distinct
loss to Clinton high school, think
that every citizen will realize, if they
will stop to think it over that if we
should lose even part of the pupils of
the commercial course it would Grip
pie our school to certain extent for
If we are to maintain n high school of
the present standard we have no pu-
pills to lose.
There is another phase Of the pro-
position. When we reduce our High
school to two teachers l claim that
we have reduced its efficiency nearly,
II not quite one third think that
every citizen will agree with me that
no two teachers can maintain as sue
cessfully High school as three
teachers can.
The law only allows a teacher in
the High school to teach seven per-
lods out of eight. If we viii stop to
look over the course of study we will
soon realize that no two teachers can
maintain college preparatory and
English course of four studies each
Tor four years without the help of the
commercial teacher to take over
some OF the elective subjects of the
other two courses. There are twen-
ty-two pupils in the Freshman class
taking commercial arithmetic and it
was necessary to buy some new
books for them this year. I think
that is all the new books that have
been bought this year for the COM
mercial department. The paper that
is used for the typewriting classes is
manila paper and it is used in the
grades for arithmetic paper after the
classes are through with it. So the
cost Of paper for the commercial
course is very small. We have the
