The first thing some people
think about when they get angry
at q newspaper man because he
has different views than they IS
to stop the paper or in other
manners boycotting. They think
that that is getting even with
the editor. We presume that
when these people get angry at
the man who deals in meat, they
eat hay, and when sore at the
clothier. they wear no clothes,
when they are angry at the doc
tor they Just die and then they
figure they have gotten even.

The many plans and investiga-

We believe also that there is
much truth in this brief state

IL would mob he healthy condi-

must take ahold and DO il them
selves through organization or
whatever other remedy they can
best devise. We must always
work for equal legislation but
laws should not reach farther
than that or il will be class legis.
lation and this we believe the
farmers DO not want. Improved
conditions must come through
their own initiatives and not
through politicians giving emp

amount there however was SO,
but the list has been lost and
hence the names are not known.
The park was much improved
last summer through the engag-
ing Of Chris Iversen as superin-
tendent. He has a natural love
for the beauty of outdoors and
worked diligently toimprove the
looks of the local pleasure resort.
and also at wage that no one
will begrudee him. Aside from
the work which Mr. Iversen did
which consisted mainly of clears
ing up the grounds from weeds,
moving the grass, making paths,
planting, laying out and so forth,
the band stand and refreshment
stand were also painted and sew
eral new benches were made,
tables repaired and the like.
Nollittle credit is due the park

Mr.. Fred johnson was amused

been printed for long time in

the editor put q little note in the
paper in which he asked the
farmers to express their opinion

question, few told the editor
that they liked % see the checks

farmer asked that his name he

 The Ku Klux Kan is believed re- sponsible for the movement against expenditure of state funds for sectar- ian schools in Maine although the candidate on the side of an amend ment 10 the constitution forbidding such appropriations disayows the in- fluence of the night shirt paraders.
 We are not prepared to venture an opinion on the sdvisa bility of utiliz- ing slate funds for sectarian schools in any state; it is the procedure in some states and has been so for years. In such sections of the country which have listened to the mummery Of the ku Klux Kan, come efforts to change the system. Had the system not existed in Maine the Kan would have had one less entering wedge. Many academies in Maine, now serr- ing as free high schools, would be affected by a change in the law there. The Republican machine in Maine is shot to pieces as a result of factional strife caused by the injection of klan ideas into it's politics.

POSTAL ADJI STMENTS

Not only did postal workers fail in obtaining expected increases in salaries when President Coolidge re- gently vetoed the salary adjustment bill, but large numbers of them face a cut of s2Q a month bonus as the result of failure of an appropriation for the purpose at the last congress.
 The bonus applied to 4S0,O00 gov ernment employes in ''in field service" mostly postal and weather bureau workers. who without the s2O monthly bonus could not remain in the service and live.
 Alarmed at the dissatisfaction pre- vailing throughout the postal system at the failure of the postal increase bill and the bonus appropriation bill, the republican organization in Wash ington has induced President Coolidge to take action.
 Necessary funds from the veterans bureau will be used to pay the postal bonus Juggling of funds in this man ner is not businesslike--but to appear is not prime requisite of methods, in the opinion of humble citizens who are confronted by spools of red tape every time they do business with the higher ups.

BILL" BRENNAS's FATE

William (BilD Brennan, a heavy weight prizehshter who during his fisiic career fought 12i ring battles, and was uniformly successful in put ting his ring enemies to sleep until he tackled the top-notchers in the pro fession," was done to death by gang of New York gunmcn for some reason unknown at this writing. Dispatches today indicate the pugilist was slain in New York cabaret Of which he
 was the owner.
 The incident again throws the spot light upon the existence Of gangs of hoodlums in New York who need 10 be eradieated by the New York police. Most of the members of such gangs are known to the bluecoats and the only reason the members arc at liber- ty is because they have been treated too lightly by the law in the past.
 Bill" Brennan was born in. lre- land 31 years ago and came 10 this country to make his fortune. He was a hard headed, hard hitting Irish lad. He belonged to an American industry, profession or business, whatever one cares 10 call it, the successful mem bcrs of which make more money than college professors al Yale, teachers in the high and grade schools. or other engaged in callings vitally necessary 10 modern civilization. Bren- nanip income was in the class Of movie and baseball stars. His name is known Lo more persons the country over than is tho name of President Angel Of Yale His tragic death will provoke much comment.

The Japanese forces took a long time to capture the German naval base in China, despite over whelming numbers, indicating the Japanese are not supermen when i pitted against effective guns. The dif- faculties of the allied fleets at the i Dardanelles Is likewise green in memory; and the British fleet did not l attempt to capture Helgoland. Land l defenscs still retain distinct advan- tages, and ours on the Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands are supposed to l be exceedingly strong, though not al- ways adequately manned, according to current criticisms. It may be added that with the development Of submar- ines harbor defense has been greatly strengthened. A harbor commander
 
 planes at his disposal; the attacking commander has ships that sink when hit from above, from the horizon or from sbelow. Usually he also is far from his base.
 The Japanese know these facts as well as anyone. The government re- gards war at this time or in the near future not the part of wisdom.
 Japan's strongest card is to ride the steed on the Asiatic continent" Millions of Oriantafs in India seething with discomfort at the western peo- pies, might be inclined to listen to the Japanese pleas for solidarity. This possibility is far from likely in re- gard to the Chinese, however, who deeply dislike the Japanese; they are disincined to be friendly and feeling has been so bitter that on several oc- casions the Chinese have boycotted Japanese goods. The Chinese are in- clined to feel well disposed toward Uncle Sam and have philosophy and l religion that makes for desire to he i left alone rather than take part in {, quarrels.
