migrating to these states and beyond.
OF course my lawyer friends will
say it would be unconstitutional to
pass law prohibiting the young peo-
pie of Maine from migrating to other
states, but | reply that the law which
our legislature passed forbidding the
sale of surplus power outside of
Maine, is just as unconstitutional as
a law forbidding our young people to
migrate to other states.
We must stop passing unconsti-
tutional laws; we must stop putting
repressive legislation on our statute
books; we must make Maine start to
grow. And the day that Maine
shakes off the shackles of "staticism"
and begins to grow, that day will see
the dawn of the era of keeping the
young men and women of Maine at
home, with a deep incentive to stay
here and be part of our growth and
Development That will be the dawn
of the day when our abandoned
farms will begin to be inhabited
again, not rapidly, but surely; when
Maine capital will begin to be with
drawn from other fields and be in
vested in Maine; when our skilled
laborers who have moved to other
states will start coming back; when
the native sons of Maine who have
migrated will realize that the chances
of Names growth are good, and be
tempted to return. We will catch a
little of the spirit of the West, and
the reiuvenated South. 1t will mix
well with our rock-ribbed conserva
tism.
My friends, if l have seemed harsh
in my criticism of static minds, it has
not been in a spirit of hostility. One
of my grandfathers was a stalwart
democrat, and the other a staunch
republican. | worship their memory.
They walked the streets of my home
town for over half a century, and
hardly recognized each other, save
for a passing nod. | can remember
the heart-pangs, when, as young
boy, | learned that these upright,
stalwart men with gentle souls,
whom | dearly loved, would hardly
speak-because one was a democrat,
the other a republican.
And then, one day late in life, just
before they were both to step into
that borderland where we like to
think that mems differences are COM
posed, as if, perhaps, sensing the fact
that political animus cannot pass be-
You'd the grave, they came together.
l can see them now, on an azure sum-
mer day with the bright sky over
head, sitting together under an old
shade tree, in pleasant conversation,
each with happy heart.
They departed this life soon after,
but | have always felt that on that
summer day, over twenty years ago,
the new partisanship in American po-
litical life was already dawning to
supplant and take the place of an old
bitter partisanship, never to return.
May we go out from these meet
ings with the thought that the re-
publicans are our friends and not
our enemies; that we are all Ameri-
cans, and that we have countless
friends in the other party, who, like
ourselves, are giving their energy
and their toll, %For God, for County
and for Maine"

PEEPING AT THE STARS
WITH BEAUTY

| If you could be acclaimed the most
beautiful girl in the United States or
dream that some day you would be
leading lady for Richard Barthel-
mess, which would you rather be?
Mary Aston had the distinction of
being declared the most beautiful
girl in this country, but to her mind
it is insignificant as compared with
the distinction of playing opposite
the popular screen idol in the forth
coming John S. Robertson produc-
| ton "The Bright Shawl"
ever since took up my career on
the STAGE" says Miss Aston, II
dreamed and dreamed that some day
could play opposite Mr.. Barthel-
mess. / thought my triumph would
be complete if / could achieve that
distinction. Well, when | received
the offer, although / was playing in
Merton of the Movies at the time, |
lost no time in signing the dotted
line. The association with Mr.. Bar
thickness was wonderful and | don't
marvel that every girl who aspires
to distintion longs for the call to
be his leading woman"
Miss Astor dislikes to be referred
to as beauty contest winner.
81 had no idea that / had ever been
entered in the contest until / received
summons to come from Chicago to
New York." said Miss Asjtor. "A
friend of our family without consult
ing either mother or myself sent my
photograph and at first / was at a
loss to understand why / was wan.ed
in New York. At the time | was
taking dramatic instruction an
thought it had something to do with
my studies"
Miss Astor was entered in one of
the first of the beauty contests, she
being selected among the 25 most
beautiful of more than 1000 candi-
dates to come to New York for the
final test.
"The publicity l received" said
Miss Astor, gave me the openings
on the stage that desired. ! hope,
though, that can be judged by my
work and not merely as the winner
of contest. l would rather win out
on the screen as an actress than be-
cause may have features that make
some people believe me pretty. / am
going to work hard and WIN success
that way rather than through any
false or accidental means. Beauty
assuming that have it's not to my
credit, but success can be won by my
self alone and i am going to work
for it."
That Miss Astor has promising
future is the opinion both of Mr..
Barthelmess and Mr.. Robertson, who
directed her in 1.-The Bright Shawl"
Mr.. Barthelmess says that he is sure
that within a short time she will have
achieved her ambition and being
known as one of the foremost act
resses both on the speaking stage
and before the camera.

NATIONAL COMMITTEE |. ]. ?. DISRUPTION
 UNAVOIDABLE

WASHINGTON, March 22-The dis ruption of the Republican National Committee is looked upon today as be- ing unavoidable according to members of that party who have the pulse ot the nation under observation. This de ve1opment would be rapidly brought about should the announcement made by Attorney General Daugherty that Warren G. Harding would become a second term nominee in 1924.
 That harmony does not exist among the committeeman on the point of a renomination is evidenced by the ru- nor that John T. Adams, chairman ot the committee, would resign his post in the event that Harding received the nomination, as suggested by Daughter 'ty.
 The logical conclusion, so say the more asture politicians, is that Will H. Hays, former chairman, or someone else will be called in to assume the duties of Adams and to manage the pre-convention campaign.

Special to Gateway

JUNEAU, Mar. Collaborating hii charges that the Alaska fisheries had been given away to Chicago and San Francisco Fish Trusts" Delegate D. A. Sutherland spoke to crowded house last night before joint session of the Alaska legislature, which he urged to pass the fish memorial intro- duced by Representative Grant of khe First division. He also requested au- thorization be given to the attorney general to proceed with the inyestisa- ton of the reservation policy to the end that relief may be obtained from the court in restraining the large in terests from monopolizing the fishing industry to the exclusion of the small packers.
 During the course of his remarks the delegate was halted by Represen- tatiye Foster of the Third division, who inquired if in the opinion of the Delegate Secretary Hoover and Mr. O'Malley or Gilbert were sincerely at tempting to do something to aid the Alaska fisheries. The delegate refus- ed to give an opinion in public stating that his statements had been issued, and it is beneath my dignity to an- 1 swer them at the present time"
 He further asserted that the reser- vation policy and the abrogation of fisheries rights in Alaska is not the 'ttemporary expedient' claimed by the department of commerce, but is an at tempt to give the fisheries rights away, and if the system was main tained for one or two years it would mean the passing of such rights for ever into the hands of the fishing trust.
 In concluding his statements he urg ed the legislature to take action to prevent a continuance of present con ditions and to insure the immediate abrogation of the reserve orders either by personal order of the pres ident or by an act of congress"
