Dr. \. .. Tl,oines
We. have come here tonight as an
official family OF the State to honor
him who for four years has been
our leader. We are grateful to YOU.
Mf. Councillor. for this picture which
YOU unveil and accept 1t with full
appreciation, 1t seems entirely fit
ting that this ceremony should take
place among those who have been
most closely associated with the
Chief Executive during his admin
istration. who know his policies OF
government intimately and have
come under his kindly and solicitious
Influence.
\ story told by an ancient philoso-
pher is set forth as an injunction by
the Master When his followers
asked who should be greatest in the
Kingdom, He answered, Let him
who would be Chiefest among YOU be
the servant of all" If we seek au-
thority from history. either profam
or sacred, we lind that he is greatest
who does the most good for his state.
his country and his fellowmen. Not
all of lis are permitted to serve in
capacity of such tremendous ina
port as has our friend and governor
He whose service we would COM
memoratc tonight and whose por-
trait we unveil has truly been the
servant OF the people, has been
mindful OF their welfare and
through the kindness of his heart
has sympathy with them in their
distress and who rcioiCeS with them
in their good fortunes.
II * our CoStum to have placed in
the corridors 'of the Capitol the por-
traits of Names sons who have rem
dered distinguished service to the
state. This is done not so much
that we may honor them but that
we may remember their virtues and
emulate their example. The halls
and rotundas of the STATE House,
therefore. become Il gallery in which
to place the portraits 81 persons in
whom the people have placed con-
fdencc and who have contributed
through government to the well-be-
ing of the governed.
We have come to tho closing days
of an administration of tho States
affairs which has been marked hy
4 sane. conscientious and high mind
cd service: an administration which
has set many new standards, cstab-
lished many new precedents of high
er virtues. we HdNc COME 10 tiie
consideration OF the work OF Il man
who has gone about his task IN
afraid. a workman who needeth not

courage and Independence. high
minded and kindly and even-temper-
cd, as invulnevabl iii his public as
in his private life: n man who Is

This is tho man we delight 10 honor.

Of the Governor and he said he
wished sometimes II might be pos-
sible to carry enc OF those instru-
iEents in ones pocket and by Just
pressing the button, send oct
speech.
But he went on to say that he
would disregard the friendly little
instruments and wonld speak around
the hall as he .yantsd to look into
tie faces about mia.
Many people think that the Gov
error holds his head Tearer tho SKY
ard thinks he Is higher thar the
next person. Gov. baxter said he
felt no higher or r,ore important
tE1n the newsst addition to The
State House family.
Referring to the painting OF the
Governor and his dog, which hangs
In the hall above, Gov. Baxter re-
viewed his reflections. He said he
wondered what those other Govern

their names in the newspaper In two

lowing the Governors talk, Judge
Lawrence pointed to the picture OF
Gov. King. the first Governor OF

Col. Albert NJ. Grecnlaw superin-

the Governor. He spoke Of what

Miss F.stellc Weber gave to Mrs.

WHICH END IS WHICH

Speaking at Sea Grit Mr.. Davis
declared the Republican party to be
made up of President facing in one
direction. a Congress in another and
the rank and file scattered in be-
tween. He added: I'VE have a har-
monious army, officers and privates,
marching to a common end.
He neglected to definitely inform
the world respecting that end;
probably once holding would fairly
describe it. though 1t is possible for
one to infer that the Bryan end is
the destination-if they arrive.
But of what has this harmonious
army" been recruited? Manifestly not
from among those who survived the
New York convention. Harmony was
conspicuous by its absence from
that gathering Of the unterrifed.
Isn't it barely possible Mr.. Davis
doesn't really feel confident which
end 10 which?

A New Prison Reformer
Duluth Herald)


The good people who fear that
modern penology is too lax and tends
to make mollycoddles of prisoners
will doubtless have little patience
with the recent effort of the governor
of Maine to be helpful to the men
behind the bars.
Governor Baxter is a great dog
lover, and it will be remembered that
a few years. ago he aroused a great
deal of comment, favorable and
otherwise. when he lowered the flag
on the state house because of the
death of his favorite collie.
And now the governor has sent a
thoroughbred collie to the Maine
penitentiary to be a friend and re-
former of prisoners. Some may be
man who has ever been lucky enough
to have dog for a friend will think
the governor of the Pine Tree State
has method in his madness.
An intelligent man who had served
short term in a penitentiary once
said that the hardest thing to combat
was the feeling of absolute useless-
ness. Probably Governor Baxter
agrees with Robert Louis Stevenson
that mo man is useless while he has
a friend" even if that friend is only
a faithful dog. The governor hopes
the collie will give some unfortunate
prisoner the helpful sense of having
a friend.
Some wise man has defined true
friend as "one who advises justly,
assists readily, adventures boldly,
takes all patiently. defends courage
ously and co&tinues a friend I'M
changable."
Leaving ont the "advisinp i1lstly"
which after all is the cheapest attri-
butte in the list, most people will
agree that a good dog will live up
to all the other requirements listed
better than the average human.
So perhaps after alHGovernor Bax-
ter and his canine prison reformer
deserve more than a cynical smile.
At least the dog will never have
the attitude of >condescension that
so frequently mars the efforts of the
human reformer and uplifter.

SEEKING PLEASURE AND

Forty million more people at
tended amusements in Southern
California this past year than ever
before. The Internal Revenue de-
partment finds that for the year
ending June 80. 1924, 191,443o72 was
the record OF attendance; that there
vas an increase in the amount spent
by more than seven and half mill
lion dollars and Is steadily increas-
ing
One might infer that people in
Southern California are there to be
amused and are trying very hard
and expensively to find what they
are after. IL 1t possible that having
found II they are disappointed?
one might infer as much from the
