Imitation Pride

The only kind of pride that "goeth

One morning Little Jack Rabbit
crept out of hollow stump in which
he had spent the night and hoped
away to cranberry Cross to see the
old woman who owned a white horse.
BY and by, after a while and maybe
a mile. he came to the town. There
stood the white horse, but the old
woman was no where In sight and
the reason was because she had gone
to the jeweler to fix the rings on her
fingers and the bells on her toes.
But she won't be gone long" said
her white horse.
Il can't wait" replied the little
rabbit and off he hoped.
BY and by he came to a tall oak
tree. All of a sudden, he heard a
sweet voice say. II am the spirit of
the tree and my name is Dryad.
When the tree dies. l also perish"
and the sweet voice faded away like
the wind among the leaves.
Where arc you?" asked the bunny
rabbit, and from out of little door
in the great tree trunk came a little
fairy dressed in a green gown with 4
crown of oak leaves.

FOR DUE SENSE OF proper.
TON

1t would be advisable in voting on
the proposed Box peace plan not to
take our efforts too seriously or to
permit others to do so. II we would
retain due sense of proportion it
might be well to consider how many
out of our hundred million popula-
ton In this country are likely to vote
and how many of those who do vote
will read the plan understandingly.
Having done this, and before we
assume that there no longer is need
of maintaining an army and navy. Of
spending money and efforts to train
our youth so that they may be citi-
zens capable of self defense. 1t might
be we'll to remind ourselves of few
further facts.
Consider that out of the two billion
people on this earth around 142 mill
lions are in Africa and 921 millions
in Asia, nine hundred million of
whom are not likely ever to know
anything about this peace plan and
today probably could not tell us whe-
Their the League of Nations ever en-
ployed shortstops or raised the salary
of Babe Ruth.
On the the other hand, we cannot If
we would, magnify the need of look
ing upon war as calamity which
the world in process of time and en-
lightenment may be able to do with
out. We must not permit ourselves
to forget that even now it deserves
no excuse short of GreS necessity;
that it never is warranted for pur-
poses of conquest; that it is futile
permanently to solve our problems;
that it keeps the world in poverty
much after the fashion in which rum
keeps down the individual who comes
under it's thralldom; that those who
resort to it invite the aid of an ar
bitter capable of destroying us.
Realizing these things we should
welcome influences that will keep
these facts before us. indelibly i'm
press them on our minds. Such is
the good possible in the interest
aroused by these discussions Of peace
methods. a good that will be lost and
replaced by evil If thrown into the
arena of partisan politics. Any de-
c.sion ~ arrived at would be I'M
trustworthy and mischievous.

four words are shot back with
thoughtless daring and disturbing
frequency to this challenge or that
invitation. They may he heard in

adults they usually are meaningless,
but coming from Young men and wo-

HARDLY FAIR TO THE COVER.
NOR

Leading Maine Republicans are
discussing the possibility OF Cover
2 nor Baxter's reconsidering his de-
cision not to become a candidate for
- q third term and entering the race
? for the nomination against Messrs.
Day. Brewster land Harrington, who
have announced themselves.
1T In not understood that there Is
any direct authority for these sur
misses. and II may be all purely con-
lecture, but 1t IL pointed out that the
Governor does not look with favor
upon Mayor Day or Senator Fafring-
ton on account Of their not being
in harmony with him on his water
power policies and that 1t is quite
probable that he does not regard
Senator Brewster's chances for the
nomination as Of the best, even II he
favored him.
i,, Recent developments with respect
to enforcement may also make 1t
seem necessary to the Governor that
he should recant from his previous
position and get into the field, 1t is
pointed out."-Portland Evening Ex-
press. Jan. 9.
Those who did not attribute sin
certify to Governor Baxter's an
nouncement that he would not run
for q third term may find the above
Interesting reading. At least some
Of those who believe that he was
sincere, will recall the advice he gave
tho other day to the effect that only
such statements as might be given
out from the executive chamber
should be considered as his. Indeed
this "feeler," IL such 1t may be
termed. does not profess to emanate
from the Governor. In fairness to
him this feature should not be over
looked.
49,, What has happened since the Gov
srnor's decision to warrant him in
making n change? Was he disap-
pointed because Congressman White
decided not to run? Has he ex-
pected someone as yet unannounced
to enter the lists? 1t might seem
so II It be assumed he Is to recant,
but that does not seem probable.
Is there anything to convince him
third term, be any nearer successful
with his water power policy than he
81 had been for the previous two terms;
or than he could be as private citi-
zen with sincerity unquestioned;
anything to lead him to conclude
that the old prejudice against three
consecutive terms of one individual
in the executive place is either dead
or sleeping?
AS for the suggestion that: Re
cent developments with respect to
enforcement may also make it seem
necessary to the Governor" etc, Is
hardly credttable to the Governors
good sense. If he thinks that one
who may this year be chosen by the
Republicans to succeed him isn't as
likely to render to the federal gov
eminent as effectual aid in the mat
ter OF enforcement as he has done.
or may do. he entertaips a concep-
ton. which we do not believe is shar-
cd by thinking people. generally. Ac-
cordingly we would not regard 1t
fair to attribute this thought to him.
