Encouraging reports come respect
ing the present management of The
Veterans Bureau. There are good
grounds for hope that the millions
which the government is putting into
this splendid undertaking will be pro-
ductive of much good, notwithstand-
ing the scandal attending the begin
ming of it. Out in Minnesota, for in
stance 81 ,trainees of the Bureau are
engaged in intensive farming on
their own little farms, the Bureau
keeping in touch with them and
assisting them. In st. Louis In the
month of February the Bureau wrote
$2,70O,0O0 insurance when the time
was extended in which the ex-service
men could reinstate their war insur-
ance. These are but incidents Of the
work being done.

and sorted. Machinery has been re-
moved from the hold, and there re-
mains only donkey engine on the

line from the city lighting system.
The City of Rockland ran aground
last September at the mouth of the

practical to attempt to restore her to
service because of the cost of re-
pairs. She was sold to w. E. Belts

tied. The two upper decks of state
rooms have been sought by the
proprietor of Summer resort to be
used as restaurant and dance hall.
The arched saloon would make an

laid steering wheel and mechanism
of the pilot house. Practically the
entire inner works of the vessel
have been removed, although an in =

obliged.
For several years the primary law
has been kept on the statute books
although many voters have stormed
against 1t. We think that there is
no question as to attitude of the
male voters. They have had suf-
ficient experience with the direct
primaries and would like a change.
But the supporters of the system say
that the women voters favor the
direct method. Perhaps they do and
perhaps they do not, but there will
never be an end to the pickering
until the voters have a chance to
declare their sentiments. Through
the medium of an initiative this can
be brought about. L

Would Better Resign


When an associate justice of a
district court in Massachusetts,
pleads guilty to driving his auto
mobile while under the influence OF
alcoholics, and is fined therefor, it Is
evident that his usefulness as a
judge has gone forever.
This truth ought. 1t would seem.
to impress itself upon the mind of
Judge John T. Moriarty, OF Chicopee,
who has Just been through that
humiliating experience. 1t 10 quite
clear that, unless he removes him
self voluntarily, action will be taken
by the Legislature to eject him from
the court. A request for removal
is certain to pass both House and
Senate. after which the Governor,
with the consent OF the Council, will
declare him out of Office.

Aarees With The Governor

West Gardiner, APR. Z, 1924.
Editors *. j., Gentlemen:-
read with interest and approval
Gov. Bakers remarks about the Re-
publican Convention at Portland.
The resolutions and sentiments Of
the convention did not express the
will OF the people present. Could
you expect convention to. take a
stand for prohibition that had as it's
principal speaker man who stood
before 1t and proclaimed, II am not
a prohibitionist? When he came to
Maine he should have had respect
for Maine sentiments. and it is my
opinion that he got all he deserved
Of courtesy.
The platform was left until after
four O'clock +. NJ. when people
were leaving and Mere was so much
confusion that the few who re-
manned could hear hardly anything.
IL the leaders would forego some
of the oratory to find out the will of
the people and put it in the platform
of the party, we would carry the
state by storm.
