Speaking for the r. D. Carrier

rier over four years ago on a route
25s miles in length. Previous to the
order in regard to lowering signals
on rural mail boxes, it vas my ex-
perience that rs per cent. or more
or the patrons after taking the mail
l had deposited in the boxes failed tt
lower their signals, making it nec-
essary for me to call at those boxes
on my next trip often in zero wealth
er. Very often the boxes were moi
well broken out at that.
In conversation with brother car
riers l found this to be a general
condition everywhere. We were de-
layed by pure carelessness on the
part of patrons. The poor hecks" as
Mr.. Mclaughlin calls them had their

MIR. Mclaughlin or others feeling as
he does, would request their carrier
to display the signal on their box as
an accommodation he would do so

would try this method before going
to the bother of writing Senator Fer
maid and infringing on his valuable
time. The carriers as a whole ii
given kind treatment, are accommo-
dating, eager to please their patrons
Wouldn't 1T be a rather nice thing
to do. If everyone living on a rural
route should try keeping their boxes
broken out in the winter and keep
stamps enough on hand so the car
rier won't have to bother with pen
nies in the box? If you have business
with the carrier at the box on a cold
snowy, blustery day, don't write him
z note covering half a page which
he must sit in the cold and read
while his poor horse shivers. All for
some trivial thing as a few stamps
which you could purchase on a fait
day.
When the roads are drifted with
snow and your carrier, If he makes
his route at all. is very late, don't
bother him with conversation. Make
your remarks short aid to the point
Don't send heavy packages when
the roads are in bad condition or the
weather extremely inclement unless
imperative.

SOMETHING TO DC CONSIDERED

"The first moral obligation, much
more useful than the vague emotional
impulses, is the moral obligation to
be Intelligent. We fail utterly if we
listen to those who say that America
Is standing apart from the affairs OF
the world" Ambassador Richard
Washhurn Child told 900 members of
the Boston City Club at luncheon
Tussday.-News report.
That Is worth thinking over, and so
WAS the rest of the address. 1t
would be foolish to make use of 1t
to -Aatter our conceit but it would
come handy when some Of those who
spout Isolation seek our approval
to flattsr their vanity. 1t would be
well to remember these things which
Ambassador Child had to say out of
his valuable experience and ac-
ouaintance with the situation:
Little by little, but with sure
steps, those who are now In charge
of our foreign policy have repaired
the damage to our prestige abroad
which came to them as heritage
from the very group who are now
asserting that we are standing apart.
At no time in our history has our
opinion been more potent in the
world than it is today. At no time
has our good faith been more
trusted and more worthy Of trust.
I can assure you that even Europe
recognizes today that our good
sense after a tragical lapse of our
good sense, has been restored and Is
considered a bulwark against inter-
national misfortunes.
'"There Is no instance in which.
under our present leadership, the
United States has failed in the pro-
been silent where humanitarian
question has become our legitimate
concern. We have put our hand to
the making Of more new, wise and
effective treaties of amity and peace
than any other nation.
Members of international con-
ferences and leagues know less about
each others plans and purposes than
they know about the plans and pur-
poses of the United States. I can
speak with first hand knowledge of
Genoa and Lausanne; the states
men of Europe would not say that
we, failed to make our position clear.
or our full influence felt. can tell
you with firsthand knowledge that
Europe knows more about where we
stand than we know about where
Eutope stands. Our purposes are
written now like letters on the sky,
Is this isolation? Our policy and
our. acts are the opposite of isolation.
ThQse who fail to see this fail in the
firsf moral duty we owe in world
aH4lrs-the duty to be intelligent"
No. McAdoo, soninlaw Of ex-
Prdsident Wilson. declares the lat
tsrS bitter speech arraigning our
foreign policy "has again voiced
thu. conscience and noble spirit of
America" Has it? How about the
moral obligation to be intelligent?

Editorial Comment
Deserving Of Much Credit
(Bangor Commercially

The Maine college football season
closes with the premier honors going
to the Colby eleven. While the
score by which Colby defeated Bates
Monday was not large. the winners
clearly demonstrated wide superior
ity over the Lewiston collegians.
Colby with the smallest male student
body of the Maine colleges is de-
serving of much credit for it's
achievement of the college cham
pionship of the state and large
portion OF that credit is due to Coach
Greene who used fine judgment in
keeping his battered players from
games with large colleges outside of
the state and saving their efforts
for the state games.

SS~SN ~bNShHNN
Foresight ~ well as faith must
have been possessed by Clement 8.
stetson when he worked to have the
assessors in Maine organized into
an association, and hold meetings
where in open forum they could dis
cuss the various problems arising in
their duties and so arrive at the
understanding which 10 so essential
to any progress that amounts to
anything. az this forum admittedly
does. Even so he probably did not
foresse Just how effective It would
be become, that in six years 1t would
be instrumental in bringing an in
crease Of one hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars in valuation. Anyhow.
the results have long since demon
strated the wisdom Of the plan.
A feature not to be overlooked is
the evident sense Of responsibility
manifested in these meetings. These
assessors from all over Maine are
not assembled together for the pur-
pose of discovering how they may
shift the burden Of their respective
localities. unless all the signs are
misleading. On the contrary they
meet their fellows in the hope to
secure information that will be USE
full in the performance of their re-
spective duties.
Taxes are not popular; never will
be. Perhaps If the payer could be
assured all were paying their re-
spective dues. that the money 80
obtained were being wisely expended,
he might be able after a time to at
tain to that altruistic conviction that
1t is a privilege to pay taxes and so
be contributor according to his
means to the benefits to be derived
from taxation.
Economy is not popular. Whether
it ever might be made attractive as
a badge of distinction may only be
guessed, as yet no one has dis
cove. ed the way. though all recog-
hize the need. Yet there would be
ess dislike of taxation and of
economy If all could be convinced it
was beg evenly, impartially dis
tributed. That is the way man is
made. He takes a certain pride in
ability to keep his end up. to do his
duty. But it is very difficult un-
dertaking to get him into that frame
Of mind. These meetings should
help. BY means Of what is there
learned better understanding
should be had. In light of this some
of the features which he has con-
sfdered unjust are seen not to be
and with regard to those which he
nnds are unjust he is inspired to
find a way of relief.
The budget system in the national
affairs has had hard shedding, but
it is establishing itself in the con-
fidence Of the public. This has been
greatly helped by the impartial at
titude insisted upon by those in
charge. President Harding and
President Coolidge have taken the
ground that economy must begin
with the responsible head and the
sum of 100000 for repairs and i'm
provements on the White House was
struck out.
1t Is possible part of this would
have been wise expenditure from
one point of view but the Importance
OF impressing on all concerned that
each share equally in the policy is
big. 1t helps nightly to team work.
That wins in State as well as in ma
tional affairs. Simply from what we
have read of the proceedings we are
confident Maine will have better as
SCISSORS by reason Of these forums.
