GOOD LOSERS

In this country, where we can have
the hottest kind of political fight, get
up, shake hands, dust ourselves off
and set to for hard pull altogether,
the term, good loser" is one which
anyone may we'll desire to merit.
1t is because Of this good sporting
spirit that we do not have revolu-
lions and all that sort Of thing every
time any considerable number of us
get "peeved," or crossed"
The Journal of this morning has
a local announcement from one who
signs himself unsuccessful candidate
to the Legislature" He congratulates
his successful competitors, pledges
his support to them and tells the
public: "This morning you will find
me In overalls at my work bench"
etc.
Later the noon bulletin brought
announcement Of Mr.. Brewster's con-
CALCULATIONS to Mr.. harrington, con-
Guiding with the assurance he would
do his best to help win a Republican
victory in September.
The spirit manifested by these de-
feated candidates Is one that knows
not defeat, that will have none of its
bitterness; a spirit that is uncon-
querable. Irresistible.

Editors Table

THE Windjammers," by T. jenkins
Hams. is collection of most unus-
ual short stories replete with the
tang of the sea and ranging in char
acter from the mysterious to the
ridiculous The book contains several
OF these stories, each of absorbing
interest and all written with the
sureness OF one who knows whereof
he writes.
These stories are not associated as
closely together as are those of that
group written by the same author
and entitled Bahama Bill" and they
are of a different character and set
ting. Much of the action in the
"WindjaEmers" takes place in the
waters near Cape Horn, either upon
vessels which are making that peril
Gus voyage or upon the islands in
those waters
The story was written over 80
years ago. when it was necessary for
ships to make the journey from one
coast of this vast country to the
other by the way Of the Cape, daring
much in bad weather to make the
Horn. and knowing full well that If
they lost any possible opportunity to
get around they might be. delayed for
many days by adverse winds.
In some of these interesting sea
tales the reader is left to draw his
own moral from the story which is
told In straightforward way and in
homely. simple English with little at
tempt at explanation. From a chap
ter such as this which is apt to cause

Treat EN- Rouqh"

New York Commercially ~ N
IL the business men of the country
would but follow the example of the
bonuS-chasing veterans and labor I'M
ions-the anti-this society and the
anti-that organiZation-and combine
latter manner to permit them to act
concertedly they, too, can coerce law
| making bodies. And coercion is all
that suffices to get action from State
legislatures and congressman. Moral
suasion is of no avail Appeals to a
spirit of patriotism fall on deaf ears:
logic Is wasted, argument is useless
and facts and figures are laughed to
scorn. Those in politics possessed
by the devil of political succession
acknowledge only the force of that
which to them represents votes and
absolutely nothing else. An occas-.
ional office holder who is different
does not serve to make our statement
appear an exaggeration.
To get and everlastingly keep pub
lie office Is the obsession of the
small souls our low pay for public
service has put in office. 1t would be
surprising if it were not so.
Let us no longer delude ourselves
with the theory that desired legisla-
ton can be obtained by any method
other than coercion.
A show of force at the polls-the
straightforward declaration that
failure to vote for measures for the
public good will mean political death
and that we shall find pleasure in in
fiicting it If our wishes are ignored
through these alone shall we be able
to obtain what the country needs.
or course. some of us will sicken at
the thought that We must use a
knotted club on the heads of legis-
lators and congressman in order to
make them stand for<the rights of
the. public and against the blocs of
various sorts, but is there any other
method by which stop can be put
to practices which are plunging the
country into sea of debt from which
there will soon be no escape? What
is more, the bad examples set by the
things oar lawmakers do serve to in
feet a vast number with bolshevistic
ideas dangerous to the future of the
Nation.
"Treat 'em rough" should be the
battle cry, but the first thing neces-
sary Is organization. The evils we
complain of came from the work of
organizations and can only BE coun-
tered completely by the same meth
DDS. Patriots must know by now
that 1t avails them nothing to be on
guard If they are not organized.

WORTHY AND WELL QUALIFIED

The smoke lifts from the primar,
) contest, a close, exciting and ex.
acting struggle. Hon. Frank q
harrington wins by a close margin
His competitor pledges support un-
reservedly. All Republicans should
do no less.
Taken as a whole we believe they
I will do this. especially after they
have considered the situation care
fully. First and foremost, is the
fact that their support will be
i, given. not only to their party. State
and national. but to candidate for
, Governor possessed Of qualities
which the rank and file Of that party
admire and respect.
Mr.. Harrington is worthy and well
qualified for the position which he
seeks and which his party now
seeks for him. No one Gun ques-
tion his high character or his
valuable experience. He has from
the first been unwilling. 1t appears
to come under financial obligations
which in any way might trammel
f, his public service. and we have
every reason to believe lie hos
strictly adhered to his resolve. that
he has depended on himself rather
than upon outside assistance.
Such assistance as he has recelv-
ed has been voluntary. His legis-
rlntive acquaintance and the high
regard in which he was held by his
fellows contributed to that. There
was no machine" there were not
funds to maintain one. He has no
debts to pay, other than a debt of
gratitude to his loyal friends and
supporters. Qualified. free and dis
posed to treat the responsibilities of
the office without fear or favor he
merits the loyal. unstinted support
Of his party at the polls in Scpts'n-
Der.
A vote for harrington. as head of
tho State ticket. will mean votes in
other states for Coolidge and Dawes.
for that is the way of Maine cleo
lions in a Presidential year. The
influence may be more or may be
less. but influence there will be.
for II the Republicans fall back their
political opponents are sure to at
tach to It a national significance
and II they advance the Republicans
themselves see national auguries
therein. There Is no escaping this.
The Republicans Of Maine. all of
them. have faith in Coolidge; they
are capable of recognizing an
honest. a fearless and a level-head-
ed man, who has convictions and
Is living we'll up to them. They can
help with vote for the Republican
ticket nominated at the primary.

"At the end of the second day I
captured my first salamander, a
beautiful, bright red specimen about
ten inches long. I took his tempera-
ture, which registered 362 Fahren-
heit. But I had reckoned without
nature.
at may have been that my pres
ence and that of the fire-dogs was
like tickling of the throat to the
mountain but at any rate she sud-
denly erupted with such violence that
I, accompanied by forty tons of as
sorted debris, was hurled miles in
the air. Only the quick use of my
fire. umbrella as a parachute
saved me-
] landed in the center of Lake Tiki
Num-. My own temperature was so
high that I instantly inflated like a
potato dropped in hot grease, and a
gentle wind from the southwest
waited me ashore And a curious
thing happened to the salamanders !;
being accustomed to the terrific heat
of the crater, when they came in con-
tact with the colder air at the zenith
of our flight they disappeared in the
form of gas. But believe me, never
came so near possessing a real sala-
mander."

HAVE WE LEARNED OUR
LESSON?

Under the old convention system
Democrats practically were unable to
interfere in the choice Of Republican
nominees and vice versa. Under
the old convention system represen-
tatives in the national and state
Legislatures respected party sought
party support and legislation bore the
stamp of party approval or disap-
prevail. as the case might be. instead
Of the earmarks Of bloc dickering and
jockeying.

they are called. especially IL the cleo
ton promised to be close, were COM

of candidates likely to prove vote

gave the poor candidate some show.
Money and time to spend were not
the essentials Of a candidate under
the old regime. All this is to be said
respecting the system which was
abandoned for the primary. It had
1ts faults as all intelligent people
know, but 1t possessed fundamental
virtues and the results compare fav-
orably with those of the primary.
Moreover. the old ''ring' did not

nwomankind. II return were made
to the convention system the women
necessarily would be represented In
the ''ring". Here Is possibility Of inn
rprovement. Even so. It may be

wish to return to It altogether. They
might prefer to experiment with a
$ hybrid and pass law, which. when
put to the test. would be found to
have more ways out than a rabbit

Bolshevikia is getting Americanized

lured her into their home and cut her
head off. They were sentenced to
eight years, but owing to their youth,
one was sixteen and the other seven
teen, the sentence was 'commuted to
