Should Anticipate
An Amendment

Freeport, Me, June 9.-"The move
ment for an amendment to our federal
constitution prohibiting the grant Of
public funds to sectarian Institutions
by any state is very significant as to
the Importance Of this subject" said
Senator Brewster in, his address at
Freepert this evening. This proposed
amendment has the endorsement Of
over 40 Organizations representing a
total membership of more than 10000
0o0 citizens. The great Methodist con-
ference at Springfield last month en-
dorsed this proposal.
Thirty-three states already have a
constitutional provision and federal
appropriations are also prohibited by
tho federal constitution. p.
Maine took the lead in prohibition
and we remember our pride in this mat
ter and also the view which we took
of states which Jagged behind and were
finally brought into line by federal ac-
ton.
Maine should be the saith state to
adopt a state amendment without wait
ing for federal amendment to force
this result.

JAPS TO OBSERVE
CENTLEMEN'S PACT
UNTIL DATE or BAN

Washington, June .9.-The- state
department was informed today by
the embassy at Toxic that the ia
panesc government intends to abide
by the gentlemen's agreement at
least until the new immigration law
becomes effective.
The information was given as a
result of "a report that the Japanese
cabinet had approved an appropria-
ton of 10000 yen to cover losses by
Japanese steamship. companies in
CURED in supplying passage on spec
iai steamers from the United States
to Japan who desire to arrive in this
country before July l, but who are
otherwise unable to do SO because
of lack of steamship Accommodations.
The attitude of the Japanese for
eign office was set forth by the am
bassy as follows:
Most of the applicants for pas
sage to the United States are persons
who have been visiting in Japan and
are anxious to return now to the
United States in order to avoid any
question as to their status as re-
turning immigrants under the chang
ed regulations which come in to
force July ]. The Japanese govern
ment is giving the same careful
scrutiny to all applicants for pass
ports as in the past.
1.-The Japanese foreign Office is
afraid that this situation might be
misconstrued to the effect that Ja-
pan was no longer observing the
terms of the gentlemen's agreement,
and it desires. therefore, to en-
phasize the fact that the Japanese
intends to abide by that
agreement at least until the new law
becomes effective"

LOYALTY THEME
C00LIDCE'S TALK
AT GEORGETOWN

Washington. June 8. Loyalty
based on a reverence for. constituted
authority was urged by President
Coolidge today as the need OF the
country from its educated men and
women.
Speaking at the annual COM
mencement exercises at Georgetown
University here the President said
there must be loyalty to the fam
lily, loyalty to the various civic or
CARNATIONS of society: loyalty to the
government. which means first of
all the observance of its laws, and
loyalty to religion"
Mr.. Coolidge expressed the belief
that the college graduates of this
year will find the world ready to
larger share in its tasks, than ever
before"
He warnedA however, that re-
ception perhaps "a bit cold" awaits
those who insist on tall and stiff
collars as part of the working uni
form-whether such collars are OF
the intellectual type for the mind
or Of the linen type for the neck"
There is little room, the Presi-
dent said, for those who are too
,, nice to work."
1.-THE market for trained intellf-
gence," he continued, will never be
overstocked. We hear Of a possible
saturation point in the demand for
particular products; but there will
never be a saturation point, a dan
ger of over-production. in good.
working. capable brains.
1T may be educational methods
are not so perfected as to give 1s
full returns on all our investments
in them. No doubt some expensive
college educations are invested In
people incapable of making them
return gbing rate of interest. But
that need not greatly worry us. The
world keeps on increasing it's wealth
despite deal Of bad investments
and sheer waste.
'"The young people who this year
step out of college into the world OF
affairs will be participants in . a
most engrossing epoch of history.
Men and women are in demand who
can prove themselves capable of
playing in big and useful way the
different parts. There will not be
applause or recognition for aIl-not
even for all who do their part well.
1.-The advancement Of intelligence
has been marked by a continual
elimination or amelioration of the
more undesirable tasks. Just about
the time when it Is found that
there is a shortage OF workers will
ing to do unpleasant things. some
body with a trained intelligence dis
covers a process or invents a ma
chine that performs the tasks more
efficiently. or makes its performance
unnecessary. This has happened 50
many times that 1t seems safe to
assume it will keep on happening.
IF there remain some undesirable
tasks that neither science nor fn-
vention can eliminate, a more pro-
ductfve- society will at least be able
to pay more riiberaily-in fuct is now
