OPPORTUNITY FOR MUTUAL
EFFORT

It may not be an excessive strain
on the imagination to suppose some
perspiring haymaker toiling in the
fields under the hot sun might ex-
perience a twinge of envy watching
the summer hotel proprietor riding
past in his limousine. His feelings
might not be improved were some
expounder of criticism to come along
and remark that summer hotel men
buy their supplies out of the State
when they should buy them at
home. Such supposition does not
seem contrary to the possibilities
ascribed to human nature. There
is something very common place
about envy. about credulity re-
speeding another individuals affairs.
How easy to think the other fellow
has a snap" is getting more than
his share of the good things Of life.
But IL would be an unpleasant
awakening to realities II the sum-
mer hotels of Maine should have no
guests and the proprietors had to go
on foot by reason of failure to sue
coed.
Now II the thoughts OF the man
in the bayfield,. instead of being
occupied in finding cause to criticise
his neighbor in the business of har-
vesting the good will of summer
visitors, for buying supplies away
from home for instance, were in
stead occupied with plans to furnish
those supplies in part at least so
that the hotel man and he both
might profit from the transaction it
would be to the advantage OF all
concerned.
The more Of those in a community
who are prospecting from supplying
rational. wholesome wants and
actual needs OF their fellows, the
better. That is a good place in
which permanently to pitch ones
tent and plant a vine and fig tree.
1t should make all Maine feel
good to learn that those engaged
in accommodating summer visitors
are prosperous; 1t should make US
all feel better to learn that the
visitors go home we'll pleased with
their entertainment. There is a
common interest, a mutual benefit in
all this.
OF course there Is nothing novel
or profound ig these observations:

Playing the Old Tune
(Lewiston Journal

In the meantime our democratic
friends are going gaily along with
their campaign and doing very well.
They are playing the old tune Of
forty years ago-every republican is
a whelp and a fool; and every
democrat is a statesman and a life
saver.
OF course this does not fool MANY
it may fool some. 1t tickles the
folks anyway. OF course they know
that EVERY republican is not a
thief and a corruptionist. They
know few democrats who are not
in the game for their health.
EVERY democrat is not a sacrifciaI
hero waiting TO plunge into abe

Editorial Comment
Alcohol and Gasoline
(Boston Transcript

Alcohol and gasoline are
dangerous combination. The human
machine at the steering wheel
when actuated by the fumes of
alcohol, is likely at any moment to
turn the gasoline driven machine
in the motor car into an engine of
destruction. Last week, the number
OF persons convicted in Massa-
chusetts courts of driving while I'M
der the influence Of liquor was 104
In seventy-four of these cases, the
courts imposed penalties in the
shape of fines. Two were placed on
probation; two filed and three sus-
pended for sentence. Jail sentences
were imposed in twenty three cases,
or about one in five. but the
sentences were suspended in five in
stances. Only three of the remain
ing eighteen cases resulted in the
respondents going to Jail, the others
carrying their cases to higher courts
on appeal. The number of drunken
drivers appears TO be on the in
crease. 1t is fair question whether
or not this increase is to be ac-
counted for by the fact that so feN
of these people who mix alcohol and
gasoline as elements in their Joy
riding ever see the inside of a Jail.

AN IMPRESSIVE OPINION

The national commander of the
American Legion declares that the
organization will cooperate in every
way with the observation of De-
tense Day. The American Legion Is
not composed of militarists, Of men
who wish to have another war. On
the contrary there is in this country
no more effective organization for
the maintenance OF peace than is
the American Legion.
The members of that organization
know at first hand what war means
and they want no more of it.
Many of them from sad experience
know what unpreparedness means,
know what it is to be attacked by a
ruthless enemy and they left sup
ported by another country's air
pfanes, using another country's guns,
unskilfully and under serious handi-
cap in some instances because a lot
of people in this country with war
impending were jubilating on the
theory that they had been kept out
of war instead of attending to the
business which the situation de-
manded.
In other words we conclude there
will be many in this country who
will be much more impressed by the
opinion Of these men than with that
Of Brother Charley" Bryan, who so
far as We learn never suffered any
i'll effects from the war.

battle. having had opportunity to
put their cause to the test, should
be in "A good mood to recognize the
blessings Of peace. 1t was very
close to draw" but fortunately
decision has been possible, and If 1t
be true that those who do the
fighting are best fitted to clasp
hands when the fight is over, If the
contestants be good sportsmen, good
partisans-and why not add good
citizens, for no good can come to
anyone by harboring or acting upon
grudges-then the Republicans of
Maine will get behind Mr.. Brewster
and In so doing not only put them
selves in position to work for the
welfare of their State. but will do
their part to uphold the hands of
Republican President, which is a
patriotic duty from a Republican
standpoint. Let's have, here in
Maine. a Republican victory about
which there may be no doubt.

A Contrast

IN. L. llUleSt
While the London conference was
trying to come to an agreement
about the German loan, under the
Dawes plan, there was a good deal
of indignant yapping at English
and American bankers. They were
rushing in with their accustomed
greed and ruthlessness to upset the
whole arrangement. But in his
statement in the House of Commons
the Labor Prime Minister. the
avowed Socialist. the leader of the
movement in England which Senator
La Toilette has hailed as twin with
his own, took occasion to rebuke and
disown all this ignorant clatter. His
words were:
l may take this opportunity of
expressing my regret that it has
been so often stated that the diff
fculties we encountered in this
part of our work We're created by
the bankers and financiers. They
confined themselves to advising
as to the state of mind of the in
vesting public and guided us
against coming to agreements that
would fail TO produce the loan re-
quired. We are all much indebted
to them for the information and
help they gave us.
1t is not necessary to elaborate
the contrast, which speaks for itself
between the two men. The position
taken by Prime Minister Mac
Donald is about as severe n rebuke
to Senator La Toilette as if it had
been expressly designed for that
purpose. And the best of it is that
this is a rehuke which Battling
Bob is forced to take lying down.
