Rathtub Never Graced
Austrian Royal Home

Prague. Nov. ia. P. by MaiD-
Prague counts as many curiosity
shops as the ordinary city does
butchers and bakers. and articles of
striking interest often are to be seen
in their windows. Not long ago one
displayed an elaborate bathtub,
pewter ornamented with copper, said
to have belonged to and been used
by the late Emperor of Austria,
Francis Joseph, and the exhibit at
tracted as much attention, as would
have the actual throne of the royal
Hapsburgs.
This piece OF imperial furniture
was bought by a man who made q
fortune during the war by selling
paper-soled shoes to the Austrian
army, and it became the most valued
piece of his collection in his new villa
near Prague. He showed 1T to his
visitors with much pride, and related
patronizingly how much it had cost
him.
Then one day some one questioned
its authenticity The owner at once
started an investigation in Vienna,
and was in due time informed by his
agent that Francis Joseph never used
a bath tub. prcferring a daily sponge
bath with cold water and brisk rub
down, and that during the days of
this emperor there was not a single
bath room. or even bath tub, in the
Austrian imperial palace.

A Woman's View
Augusta, Me-, Nov 10, 1923.

Dear X. j.:
Being a mere woman and not sup
posed to possess judicial mind, pre-
sumo really ought not to pass any
opinion upon the decision just rem
dered at the recent trial of the sheriff
of Hancock county before the Governor
and Council but | listened with inter
est to all the testimony presented for
and against and when Ward Wescott
was on the stand his own testimony
was enough to convict him AS he re-
iterated over and over again that he
had done all he or six men Hike him
could do and yet acknowledged that he
had really done nothing. IL this was
true why did he not resign long ago
and tell the people that he could not
enforce the law and let some one else
fill his place and see what they could
do?
A man who acknowledges that he Is
helpless and inefficient is certainly I'M
fit for such an Office.
The men who voted to keep such a
man in Office should be anything but
proud Of their stand.
Let the voters of Hancock who real
~ want enforcement forget partizan-
ship and everything else and elect
new sheriff who can at least make a
showing.
1t is not only in Hancock County
that there are undesirable conditions.
In fact it is getting so that prisoners
In our county jails are allowed SC
much liberty they really ought not to
mind being there.
1t is the duty Of every citizen to be
willing to report all violations of law
and to be willing to stand behind their
reportA

Ignorance of Law
(Washington Post)


The maxim that ignorance of the
law is no excuse came into being
when there was little. if any, ex-
cuse for ignorance; when law was
the expression of rules of conduct
that could be sensed from knowledge
of right and wrong: when it was
simple and ran directly against OBJ
vious ills. But the increasing out
put of legislation threatens to crowd
out the reason for the rule. The
vast number of enactments on this
and that subject. the rapidly grow
ing list of ''mala prohibita" or of
lenses arbitrarily so listed. the con-
fusion OF laws as between sections
through which transient elements
pass make it difficult even for
students to learn them and practi-
cally impossible for the layman to
know them. If the maxim is to re-
tain its force and not work injustice.

laws must cease

The JOB INSISTS,

Signs multiply that the proposition
to reduce taxes is becoming q Job
that insists on being done. This,
Notwithstanding all who are ac-
quainted with the methods resorted
to in 4 Congress Immediately pre-
ceding q presidential election are
aware Of the gauntlet Of conflicting
ambitions which any measure is re-
quired to run.
Secretary OF the Treasury Mellon
has very clearly placed an analysis
Of the situation before the public and
shown how reductions may be had
without Gripping government, as
Stunning economy be practioed and
sisted upon. Thus many of the con-
sressmen are placed between the two
fires. those who want the bonus and
those who want tax reduction, to say
nothing about being exposed to the
clamers all who wish for government
aid for various projects.
Such being the situation in out
line it 10 clear the Democrats are in
q position to embarrass and delay
provided they may find way to do
this without mourning any response
bility. whereas the Republicans must
face the music. It is not to be Won
dered at that experienced leaders
hesitated in the face of such a sit
uation to bring up tax revision at
this time.
The President has made no delays
in meeting demands of economy. He
has kept the faith and performed his
part of the conditions under which
the reduction is possible. And this
pruning OF the budget was no easy
matter. Congress will in the face of
this find 1t difficult to avoid doing its
part.
Carter Fields letter in the Sunday
N. Y. Tribune tells of letters pouring
in on the congressman In such VOL
une that 1t is assured that body will
deem 1t necessary to undertake the
ordeal. President Coolidge has been
indulging in no playing to the gal
leries over this matter but his quiet
insistence with the effective ocopera-
ton he has received, especially from
the secretary of the treasury, is bear
ing fruit. Even Senator Smoot, who
has been opposed to taking up the tax
matter at this session and who all
along has declared the bonus meas
ure would be passed even over the
Presidents veto. is already consider
ing some OBJECTIONS in the ranks of
those on whom he depended. He Is
reported. however. as believing If the
measure comes up and the Republi-
cans should not be able to control the
situation a measure would he likely
to get through which would depart
widely from the Mellon plan.

CURE LIES WITH OUR YOUTH.

wrote Madame Swetchine. Philip r.
Park writing for, Scratch" the
monthly trade publication Of The
Park & Pollard Company, expresses
the same thought with special APP
plication to conditions here in Maine,
and with suggestions that the older
folk will do well to take TO mind and
ponder seriously-and then do some
thing. That's what Mr.. Park %did.
He took several old farms, which the
owners thought a good place to leavess
and there proceeded to raise cattle
and corn and clover. He has sue
ces5fully demonstrated the faith that
was in him. 1t looks decidedly as
though a lot of us ought to get some
of that faith and proceed to demon
etrate II.
But we will permit Mr.. Parks sug-
gestion to speak for itself, which 1t
does sensibly and somewhat en-
phatically: 'Maine state Of mind is
the only thing that prevents her forg-
ing ahead to take her place as the
leading New England state in agri-
culture. and the cure lies with her
young people, her boys and girls now
growing up. and the teachers who are
instructing them.

to set along better than they appear
to be doing today. when the cost OF
