SMUGGLING ALIENS

II has been suggested that all ap-
piicants for positions under the Civil
Service should be subjected to identi-
ncation under the Bertillon system.
In there no one to suggest that every
alien in this country should be COM
PEELED to carry with him identifica-
tion papers and be required to report
his presence In the country at stated
intervals?

that they get all the way from $3.50

smuggling them into the country. and
In some instances rob and kill them
after getting them here.

STATE FLAG IN PUBLIC

The presentation of the State nag
by Governor Baxter to the Sunday
School workers In this city on account
Of the seal sale gave rise to a sug-
gestion that II would be a worthy act
II the Legislature would provide that
bach school building in Maine should
have a State flag.
The suggestion is an excellent one.
But It might be added that It would
be advisable. II that be done. to have
each State nag bear a correct repro
duction OF the State Seal: "a shield.
argent charged with a Pine Tree: II
Moose Deer, at the foot Of 1t recum
bent. Supporters; on the dexter
side. an Husbandman, resting on a
scythe: on sinister side. a Seaman,
resting on an anchor. In the fore
ground. representing sea and land.
and under the shield, the name of
the State in large Roman Capitals. to
wit: MAINE. The whole surmount-
ell by n Crest. the North Star. The
Motto. In small Roman Capitals. IN a
label interposed between the Shield
and Crest. viz:-DIRIGO."
The old design in which the scythe
persisted In resting on the husband
man. In such fashion as no well'in-
formed husbandman wishing to
avoid the cutting OF bis vertebrae
would permit. yet finds place on the
flag.
II the schools are to have a flag It
should conform tS the requirements.
and provision should be made for ex-
planning those and their significance
to the children. Under such condi-
tons this object lesson In the history
Of the State ought to serve as VAL
liable publicity for Maine.
