Chairman Barnes


The Maine Republican State COM
mittee made an excellent choice when
its members selected former Speaker
Charles .. Barnes OF Houlton to be
temporary chairman of the State
convention which will be held in this
city In April. The temporary chair
man is always made permanent
chairman SO that Mr.. Barnes will
preside over the deliberations of the
gathering and will make the so-called
keynote" speech. No man in Maine
is better qualified to perform both
duties.
When speaker Of the Maine House
Of Representatives he fulfilled the re-
quirements Of that somewhat exact
ing position as well as anyone who
ever occupied the chair. He showed
himself to be we'll versed in the
rules of procedure and was at all
times prompt and fair In his rulings.
AS a public speaker Mr.. Barnes has
few equals and no superiors In
Maine. He Is a man OF culture and
trained lawyer and when he comes
to sound the keynote Of the ap-
preaching campaign. he is certain to
do so in manner that will inspire
the members Of the party to get to-
gether and roll up majority In
September that will fire with enthus-
iasm and confidence the Republicans
of other states for the Presidential
election in November.

BE JUST TO FRANCE

Senator Borah in the Senate a few
days ago criticized France on account
of the debt she owes US rather more
harshly than 1t is pleasant for friends
OF that country to hear. And we
ought to be friends with France,
though we may not approve alto
gether OF what she may do and we
may be aware Of her skill at driving
a shrewd bargain. She has suffered
greatly, she is now in financial
straits. and 1t is not unreasonable to
think she may be sincere in the be-
lief that she must, for her safety and
her rights. use the money she is US
ing to maintain her military power.
She might have been little franker
perhaps in her attitude toward the
loans. but surely she has not Offend
ed to warrant Senator Borah's attack.
Compare what he said with that
which was spoken the other day by
General Dawes, telling the Allies:
1--WE come only wanting to be help
full" and referring to that other time
when the war was Americas war as
much as 1t was that of France. from
one point Of view at least, and he
stood almost empty handed trying to
function as our chief of supply:
During the first seven months from
the time we landed in France there
were shipped to us from America
only $4,000 ship tons of supplies.
And yet when the Americans sailed
back to the United States the Army
had required over 100000 tons, of
which 100000. tons had been fur
nished chiefly by France and Great
Britain. already stripped of their re-
sources by three years of devastat-
ing warfare"
Really. Senator Borah could have
occupied himself with something
more just. more helpful than his at
tack on France.
Once this country Of ours was in a
fair way to go down in defeat before
Great Britain. Not only French
troops and ships came to our aid but
much money from the French treas
ury.
Oh. but one says France was play
ing the game against England. Yes,
this was in great measure true, not
true of Lafayette and of some other
Frenchmen, however. But after the
war was over and France was trying
to collect she was not playing the
game" against England yet she was
very considerate in her demands.
Eighteen million livres were paid
By us but It had to be done in series
Of payments from 1873 to 1882. It
was impossible for us to meet the
interest terms and these payments
were deferred and made in n SERIES
A portion of that interest was remit
ted by France. So far as we know
she was never accused of being ex-
acting when she was the creditor
and we were the debtor. 1t is easy
10 ciiticise. 1t is not so easy to be
just, 1t would seem.

A Counter Suggestion to Clergy

In n declaration of ideals and
principles" adopted at its annual
meeting recently in Columbus, Ohio,
the executive committee of the
Federal Council of Churches urged
that the United States affiliate and
cooperate with IAN efficient inter-
national organization wherein all ma
tons may take their full share In
establishing world justice and in
maintaining world peace. The league
of nations was designated as an
established agency, fulfilling the re-
duirements contemplated in the
phrase. an efficient international
organization.
ITO begin with. of course, the
executive committee of the Federal
Council of Churches resolved upon
an ideal which Is not in harmony
with fact" writes Albert II. Laidlaw
in the National Republican. ITO date,
the league of nations has revealed
itself as surprisingly negative
quantity in the establishment OF
world Justice. Its mandate record.
up to the present writing, is a record
not of justice but of very rank in
Justice. It's helplesness as an agency
. for the maintenance of world peace
has been SO infantile that its
virtually nil in France and Italy. and
is of a pretty low rating in others
of the dominating member nations.
The failure of the league as IAN
established agency" for establishing
world justice and maintaining world
peace is conceded by most of our
own pro-leaguers. and they use its
failure as the basis for their bit
terest excoriation of the American
statesmen whose votes in the United
States Senate made this country's
adhesion to the league an impos-
sibility. The failure, they admit;
the blame of it. they place upon the
United States Senate, in that the
United States Senate refused to ratify
the treaty of Versailles and the
covenant of the league.
The spectacle of the present tur-
moil in certain of the Protestant
churches of the country. created by
the conflict between the so-called
''fundamentalists" and the so-called
"modernists" of the church. makes
the suggestion of the executive COM
mittee of the Federal Council ap-
pear even more inconsistent than it
would otherwise appear.

exist within the churches which

The Meeting At Augusta


Elsewhere is an interview with
Gov. Baxter on the craftsmanship. of
the state convention which was as
signed to Speaker Barnes Of Aroos-
took, the comment being that the
governor is loyal to republicanism
and that he desires Coolidge to be
elected.
We feel sure that this is true. 1t
seemed to us during our visit to Au-
gusta at the time of the meeting or
the state committee, that never did
we find a clearer purpose to serve
the cause of republicanism and less
animosity personally or individually
than then.
There is harmony as to Coolidge.
There Is not harmony as to thes bet
ter man to nominate for governor.
But on the other hand there is no
/, bitterness. We did not hear any ex-
pressions of animosity toward any
person or candidate during our visit
to Augusta.
To put it bluntly. the only ques-
ton as to Senator Brewster in this
section of Maine was the possible
effect his advocacy of the so-called
"sectarian school issue" might have
on his election and it's reactions
against Mr.. Coolidge. Mr.. Brewster
had many warm admirers and per-
sonal friends among those in the
gathering. 1t was felt by some that
it would be a hard and heavy burden
to carry in a political election-alien-
ating many republicans from the
ticket at the polls. Others disagreed
with this opinion.
Mr.. Harrington showed great
strength among those present. 1t
did not appear as one might gather
from the Augusta element that one
must apologize for supporting Mr..
harrington. He Is clean and
honest gentleman and man or
ability and wisdom. Would he or
Mr.. Day be the better nominee! rms
was canvassed again and again and
no one was able to get any headway
toward solution. Each had his friends.
There happened to be about dozen
for Harrington and four for Day IN
one straw vote that was taken-not
counting the Brewsterites. There
was never a suggestion OF Mr.. Lays
| withdrawal--as it is stated in our
Augusta letter. Indeed the friends of
Mr.. Day say that he will win ~
We may not forget that the success
of the party in Septenaber VIII mean
much. Mr.. Coolidge's nomination
seems assured. The concern OF Gov.
| Baxter for this is source of graft
! fication to republicans. The govern
or's opinions as to the party platform
quite agree with ours.
A platform which stated in words
of brevity the general policies of the
party would be admirable-5O0w words
| might do It: we should be inclined to
allow 1000 words or about one news

In tho thirty three billion debt Of
the national. state, county and NUM-
cipal governments 10 estimated to
be 32ss.7s. There may be some who
think they will not be compelled to
pay theirs. but the only way they
can dodge It IL by dying or becom-
ing q public pauper. Otherwise
they must pay. and pay. and con-
tinue to pay, In taxes. which they
recognize. and in prices. part Of
which Is because Of the debt.
The interest on this debt amounts
to about SIC annually, per capita.
Moreover, each individual having at
tained the age to vote and the right
to vote shares in the responsibility
for this.
Each had responsibility for the in
crease OF 672 percent In the national
debt, over that OF 1912. The country

cause It had not been far-sighted
and fore handed and had to 60 to

share In the responsibility for un-
preparedness and likewise in the
extravagance which that necessltat-

bilities we assume because we live
under O government in which people
are supposed to govern themselves,
to choose men, agents. to look after
the business Of government and. II

McAdoo. when managing our rail-
roads, made mistakes. II he insisted
on a scale OF wages that was i'm

In the munitlon plants and ship

II our share In national indebted
ness seems rather indefinite and

sponsibility for local debts. the
waste OF money In municipalities, the
borrowing OF money to do that
which. even IL desirable yet is really
beyond our means: we have oppor-
tunity and should keep Informed OF
this.
The evidence Is to the effect that
we haven't observed our RESPONSE
bility as We should. The indebted
ness OF State governments over the
decade. 1912 to 1922, increased 175
PER cent taking the country as a
whole: here we each had more init
mate responsibility. still more init
mate In the average county indebted
ness, which increased 26S per cent in
that decade. and still more intimate
responsibility in the average NUM-
cipal Indebtedness which increased
during that time 149 per cent.
We must somehow arrive at con-
seriousness OF individual RESPONSE
bility In these matters. realize that
the debt bears on what we wear,
what we eat and the home in which
We live; that there Is no escaping
this: that We cannot get money from
the national government for our
roads. for our schools. for anything.
without mourning an expenditure In
which We are compelled to share.
