A REASONABLE REQUEST

A noticeable feature of the efforts
being put forth by those who are
opposed tothe 4s-hour law is the ap-
peal to the voters Of Maine to turn
out and vote on the question when
it comes before us Oct. IS.
Now this Is most reasonable re-
quest, so reasonable that no one can
find ground for objection. Further
more it presupposes that If people
will take enough interest to come
out and vote they will take an inter-
est to inquire into the merits of the
question to be decided by their votes,
and that if they do this they will
discover that the 4S-hour law isn't
needed.
AS evidence Of confidence in the
merits of their objections to the As
hour law and in the common sense
of the Maine people this appeal as
an appeal leaves nothing to be desired.
1t would not be creditable to the
public to neglect to respond to an
appeal like that. indeed it scarcely
Is to their credit to assume they
are in need of an appeal, that other
wise they will neglect this important
duty. They would deeply resent any
attempt to curtail their privilege in
voting and most are aware of what,
since biblical days, has happened to
those who have not made use of the
privileges. the talents entrusted to
their keeping. However, the peoples

"King Tut-Ankh- Amen" by Archie
Bell, author of THE Spell of Egypt"
etc. With illustrations of the
temple of Karnak.
This absorbing novel relating to
the eighteenth dynasty in Egypt,
tells in a most interesting manner
how King Tut-Ankh- Amen, as Prince
of Hermonthis won the love of
Senpa, priestess of the temple of
Karnak, and through her interest
achieved the throne of the Pharaohs.
With it's setting in ancient Thebes
and revolving around the order of
Amenophis, bringing legal death to
all gods save Ra who was to be
worshipped in the golden disk, this
story will be especially enjoyed by
all lovers of history and generally
enjoyed by the reading public.
The revelry of the court during
the reign of Queen -Pen-Aton
and the frivolity and wickedness of
that queen Is contrasted with the
solemnity of the temple and the life
of sacrifice led by the beautiful
priestess. This. and the manner in
which the Prince of Hermonthis and
Priestess Senpa proved that Queen
Khu- Pen-Aton was a murderer and
a traitor, and by their disclosures
assembled to the throne OF the
Pharaehs, are the basic points of
this strong and tragic story.
Life in ancient Egypt and especi-
ally in Thebes. the chief religious
center Of Upper Egypt, is portrayed
in this story concerning the eigh-
teenth dynasty of Pharaohs. begin
ming at about the year 1900 B. c.
This romance will undoubtedly take
its place as one of the leading his
torical novels of the day.

"The Scarlet Macaw." by G. e.

Locke, author of "The Red Cavalier"
etc. Illustrated by Charles E.
Meister.
This is a dramatic detective novel
of Unusual interest, and an even
more absorbing story than 1.-The Red
Cavalier" which the critics pro-
nounced "the best mystery story Of
the year."
It unfolds the mystery of the muir
der of Genevra Tressady, a young
and beautiful English girl, who is
found in her room stone dead, a
deadly poison having been admins
tered. A great scarlet macaw Zap
parently the only witness to the
murder) gives the alarm with his
mimickings of the girls death
screams.
From this opening situation each
of the 80 chapters adds mystery,
untangles battling problems, and
makes deductions from the maze of
clues, tangled and confusing, which
send the police scurrying in one direc-
ton, Scotland Yard in another. and
detective of Red Cavalier fame) in
still another direction.
In addition to the mystery of the
murder. uncovering the clues as to
criminal and the motive for the
crime, there is mystery attached to
the unfortunate victim of the plot,
Genevra Tressady, whose real name
is found to be Genevra Tredgold and
her occupation, leader of gang of
criminals.
This is, indeed. one of the most
mystifying, thrilling and dramatic
detective stories that has made its
appearance for long time.

LABoR's WORST ENEMIES

From all we learn, the striking
pressmen in New York City are of
the class of labor unionists who are
the most effective foes union labor
has, members who refuse to abide by
their contracts, who would make
might right, who would refuse arbi-
tration, who seek to ruin that which
they cannot rule.
The situation is this: The Amer
lean Publishers Association. of
which the New York publishers as
well as publishers in other states
are members, and the International
Union, the head organization of
which the pressmen's and Topographic
cal unions are subsidiaries. entered
into an agreement. One feature of

These being the facts, the con-
clusion which naturally follows is
that America would quickly cease to

these strikers should win and in
spire others to adopt their rule or
ruin methods. To such as they, a
contract is but a scrap of paper,
loyalty to their own organization is
something to which they attach no
significance whatever. How may
honorable dealings be carried on
under such conditions? 1t would be
impossible. Surely American labor
hasn't reached that stage where it
would cast aside honorable dealings
and ways to ensure them: so it
comes about that these members of
a New York labor union are in eff
feet the worst enemies union labor
has, they would assassinate 1t at

According to the vote of the Re-
publican National Convention of
1920 Maine will have it's quota of
delegates to the 1924 convention in
creased by two. Those states which
cast their electoral votes for the
Republican candidate for President
in 1920 will each have their quotas
increased by two delegates. This
will enable Maine Republicans to
send fourteen delegates to the next
convention instead of twelve.
Considering the sweeping character
of the victory of 1920 many states
will have their delegations to the
Republican convention increased
The Southern delegations, on the
contrary. have been reduced a little
but the convention will still have
1895 delegates, an increase of 81
delegates over the convention of
1920.
1t has usually been customary in
Maine to elect two delegates from
each one of the four congressional
districts and four delegates at
large. These four delegates at large
were apportioned one to each dis
ptrict, although they have usually
been selected at the state convention
insted of being elected by the district
conventions. Now, presumably, each
district will elect two delegates, as
before, and there will be six dele
