All WE GOING TO WAKE UP?

Never was duty clearer to the
people Of this State than is that of
supporting the federal government
in. its endeavor to enforce the pro-
hibitory law.
That duty is being most admirably
performed under the cooperation Of
United States District Attorney Dyer
and Commissioner Seth May. Neither
partisan friend nor party foe is re-
cognized by them: simply their sworn
obligation toNenforce the law without
fear and without favor.
Such officials should command
every ounce Of support the law-abid-
ing people of Maine may be able to
put forth in support Of duty we'll
done.
1t should not seem irleverent to re-
mark that sometimes it appears the
Creator in making men, also made
some limitations of men, which he
shuffied in with the lot. Anyhow,
this is the the variety that shouts
for law and will not move a finger
to support it. that bowls for economy
the while it grabs at a treasury sur
plus.
Real men. if opposed to the law.
will go about changing it in the ways
made and provided. The imitation
specimens will endeavor to sneak
around it. Real men will appreciate
the appalling menace Of lawlessness:
the imitation will give no heed so
long as they may get what they at
the moment happen to want.
The great job is to make the illicit
liquor traffic improbable. in money
or personal advantage: to put where
they belong every individual engaged
in making money from it. If this
may be done the good sense of the
people will take care Of the rest.
AS tits. the rats are scurrying all
over.tlisSpiace, gnawing, undermining
and befouling. The greatest aggre-
cation of criminals the world has
seen are right now attempting to
nullify. the prohibitory law in this
country, are thumbing their noses at
our great government.
In this endeavor they stop at no
crime, hreed crime and incite crime.
They smuggle the terrible drugs
along with the liquor. One, who may
consider it no harm in and of itself
to drink a glass of liquor. may not
under our laws do so without, in most
instances. pandering to the most
dangerous criminals with whom we
have to deal.
Are We to permit ourselves to be
made the stool pigeons of this de-
structive element of society? Are we
going to wake up to the fact that an
otherwise decent person cannot be-
come bootlegger and otherwise re-
main decent?

dom, in this county, was a receptive
candidate but did not go into the
field after the Office believing that the
office should seek the man. Mr.. Pur-
linton was second in the voting and
this would seem to indicate that he
should follow the newly elected mas
te when he steps out of office. Few
grangers in this county have been
harder workers for the success and
growth of the order than has Mr..
Purinton and when the time comes
there is no doubt but that he will
make one of the best masters that

SOUTHERN DELEGATES, EFT
cE1ERA

At last Senator Hiram johnson has
found something to criticise, for there
does appear to be ground for differ
ent opinions respecting the Republi-
can National Committees apportion-
ment Of delegates.
In many q Republican mouth there
has long been bad taste whenever
the southern delegates happened to
be the subject under consideration.
The mischief possible to the old ar
rangement was in the nature Of a
high explosive kicking around under
foot. -
But there are two sides to this con-
troversy. Because. the Democrats in
a southern congressional district
have prevented the Rublicans there
voting. and the rest Of the country
has permitted the solid South to get
away with this injustice and 50 allow
. white man in those states to have
vastly greater power in; q the making
of national legislation than has the
average voter in other parts Of the
country. are Republicans Of the coun
try to disregard all Republican senti-
ment inFthat district? 4, %.
The committee decided not 10 do
80. but to give, to each congressional
district representative. though off,
setting In whole or in part this in..
nuence on the convention by increas-
Ing the number Of delegates from
other parts OF the country. There
mas been an increase Of Republican
strength in the South and it is con-
tended that in this way only NAV. il
have recognition. 1t does not appear
that the committee did this to favor
Coolidge. Senator Pepper of Penn
sylvania, who strongly favored this
method, is not committed to Coolidge.
On the other hand Senator john
son evidently expects that his
chances Of getting the vote of these
southern delegates is, not promising.
notwithstanding his campaign man.
aSer, Mr.. Hitchcock. has a reputa.
ton for dealing with southern dele
gates and Is not supposed to be stint
cd for funds. We cannot escape the
opinion that Mr.. johnson Is unduly
masnifying the situation. which is
comprehensive. seeing that he had
nothing tangible to criticize up to
this and naturally wishes to make
the most Of II.
The list Of state delegations, print
ed herewith may help the reader to
form his own conclusions whether in
justice has been done. As for the
wall Of tho Democrats. they ought to
be ashamed Of 1t. seeing that they
could not begin to carry the country
In ordinary times without the support
Of solid South where Democrats
have habit Of DISTINGUISHING those
who do not agree with them.

Breakfast Foods Favored

England is to be introduced to break
fast foods IN various forms of wheat.
A company has been formed to make
the breakfast foods from wheat
grown in England. At present such
breakfast foods are almost entirely
imported from Canada with a small
percentage coming from the United
States.
