It was in New England!

J.
The shame of lawless fury is New
Englands today. Certainly we cam
not point the finger of scorn at Geor-
gia or Alabama, or at Bastrop or
Herrin. after so horrible an example
of heather rage and brutality as
that which has to be recorded today
from Whitefield, Me-, where the
wretches have eXhumed the body of a
five-fold murderer, covered it witt
Oil, and more or less publicly burned
it, with the house where three of his
victims lived. The character of this
proce ding is such that it cannot be
excluded from consideration. no mat
ter how much the minds of decent
people may incline them to disregard
it. The act is Il disgrace to Maine
and disgrace to New England 1t
proves that we need to put our moral
house in order before we denounce
mob acts in other states of the IN
ion. Lynching the dead is more re-
voting than lynching the living.
Need of powerful influence for
the education of the people along the
line of decent impulse is demon
strated by this shocking occurrence.
Whether the man who committed the
series of murders in Lincoln county
was mailman or merely a depraved
brute cannot be determined by any
examination, for after his crimes he
took himself out of the world by a
shot of his pistol. Decent humans
would have left him ir the grave that
was prepared for hi :. The proceed
ing OF the ghouls at Whitefield merely
added another and a revolving crime
to his. They linked themselves UP
with his nature. Thereby they re-
vealed a terrible condition of the
popular mind. IT calls for the work
of the church and school right here

The announcement Of Hon. Frank

Wall be candidate for Governor on
the Republican ticket at the next
primaries, will be good news to his
many friends. although the rumors
have indicated that this is not alto
gether unanticipated.
We do not see how anyone NAV
successfully question Mr.. Earring
toms qualifications for the position.
This we assume would not be denied
by other excellent gentlemen, who
are seeking the nomination. Mr..
Farrington's long and eminently Sue
cessful legislative experience, the
distinction and fairness with which
he filled the positions of speaker of
the Maine House and the presidency
OF the Senate. his thorough acquain-
lance with State affairs. his high
character and standing In his pro-
fession, his recognized qualities of
good citizenship are, we feel quite
sure, appreciated by many people
throughout Maine and warrant our
conclusion.
The Republican party in 1924 will
not lack for the best grade of guber-
material timber. The position of
Chief Executive of Maine should
have nothing less. The duties of the
onice have become engrossing If not
onerous. exacting in their demands
upon the occupant: so much SO in

needed for the place.

AN IMPRESSION THAT Is GROW.
ING

A question comes to mind. 1t seems
pertinent at this time. 1t is this:
Had those who dragged the body of
John Snow from it's coffin and into
the house which they set on fire be-
lieved the authorities would spare no
effort and stint no expense and never
let up until they had apprehended
the perpetrators and duly had them
sentenced for arson and their other
crimes would they have given free
rein to their passion?
Not unless their mentality be that
of the child enraged at toy and
battering it in the face Of whipping.
Had they known that once con-
victed their chance Of pardon by
means of political or other influence
would be inconsiderable would they
not have hesitated yet more?
We think they would have hesitat-
ed. And while such certainties as
these might not haye deferred the
maniac, Snow, they would naturally
be accompanied by such high sense
of responsibility to the laws, such q
comprehensive understanding of the
duty owed to society that 1t would be
probable that one who had displayed
such a lust for killing would have
been placed under greater restriction.
We need to have our consideration
of law abiding people stimulated. The
laws are made to protect them; the
officials are appointed to enforce
these and so assure the protection.
Maltreated society is deserving of our
sympathy as well-and more-as the
lawbreaker. The victims Of criminal
acts cannot be pardoncd or paroled.
The victim Of the drunken automo-
bile driver is more entitled to our
consideration than he who did the
deed. And there, too, are the pos
sible victims, unless the criminal be
checked.
We would not dry up the wells Of
emotion, or harden the heart but we.
would have compassion more equit-
ably and sensibly employed.
The shepherd who went in quest Of
the lost sheep first made sure the
other ninety and nine were safely
within the fold. Had he abandoned
them. to the wolves while he strug-
gled to save the one lost he would
have been an unfit shepherd.
There is a growing impression that
the law-abiding are being neglected.
We have laws enough and officials
enough to warrant decent attention to
all parties concerned. We should in
sist that this be given.

GOVERNOR RAxTER,s DECISION

Il am not a candidate for re-elec-
tion." Governor Baxter, after due
deliberation makes this announce
ment in a public statement, that is
frank, clear, creditable in every way
to himself and to the high office he
holds.
While it does not absolutely close
the door to a change of mind-and
should not be expected to do so-it
is made without evasion, in recogni
ton of Names time honored Gus
tom" respecting a third consecutive
term for our State Executives. He
does not hesitate to declare that at
would be an evasion to say that
have served but one term. The facts
are otherwise" Yet he might have
passed over this feature of the situa-.
tior without emphasis, had he chosen
to do so. He has stated his position
in clear, unmistakable language.
Those acquainted with the impress
sion that Governor Baxter has made
on many of our people will not
doubt that he has received many re-
quests to be a candidate for another
term. He would be more than human
were these not very gratifying to
him. We consider it creditable to his
judgment that. Notwithstanding these,
notwithstanding natural desire,
which he must entertain, he has ar
rived at the decision he has.
He was called Unexpectedly and
without such preparation as a pros
pective candidate would necessarily
have to the duties of chief executive.
He came to these unpledged and with
a free hand. He was not bound by
campaign pledges of any sort. He
has devoted himself unreservedly to.
these duties. He has spared no eff
fort to do this. He has accomplished
much. yet in view of all the condi-
tons it does not seem unreasonable
to suppose that he may feel another
should take up the responsibilities
at the end of his present term. that
perhaps another might be better able
to bring about that which Governor
Baxter, as a loyal citizen and pro-
foundly interested in the welfare of
the State, would wish to see brought
about. .
Be that as 1t may, he certainly has
made the way clear for others, has
himself of all responsibility
for embarrassing aspirants or the
members of his party.

Shopping With $50 Bill Needs
Strategy to Buy Goods

After her husband had gone down
town the other morning Mrs. Bag
wag discovered that the only money
she had was $50 bill which he had
given her the night before. With
some misgivings as to whether she
could get it changed in the neigh
borhood stores she went out to do
her shopping. Her doubts were well
founded and she became worried as
to whether she would be able to
make any purchases at all.
Then she changed her tactics. In
stead of flashing the bill when she
first entered she waited till her
order was filled and wrapped up.
Then she handed the bill to the
salesman, who. finding she had
nothing less and being unable to
change it himself. announced that
she could pay for her purchases the
next time she was in the vicinity
