Doctor Quack, and hurrying down
the walk, anxiously inquired the
trouble.
That's what I want you to find
out" answered the old gentleman

Put out your tongue" said the
famous duck doctor. opening his
medicine bag.
There's nothing wrong with me-"

Don't blame it. Here's what's

Goodness gracious meebus!" ex-
claimed the old gentleman bunny.
How much do I owe you?"
1T was simple operation" an
swered the famous duck doctor.
I'll charge you only two lettuce
leaf dollar bills"
Much obliged" sighed dear Uncle
Lucky. handing over the two brand
new lettuce leaf bills. Then. hop
drove away with his small bunny
nephew. Pretty soon the old gentle
man rabbit stopped the Lucky
mobile. He had heard sweet
voice singing, that was the reason,
uttle birds voice, that's what he
had heard and he wished to listen
to the music. Right close by, on
the top of Hhe Old Rail Fence. sat
Johnny Wren, singing with all his
might. Goodness me, he was sing
ing so hard that he shook all over.
Keep on. Don't stop" cried
dear Uncle Lucky. We've stop
ped but we don't want YOU to-"
:, Just then Mrs. Jenny Wren peek
ed out of a big knot hole in one of
the fence posts. Il was wondering
why Mr.. Wren stopped singing.
Now I know"
Il just begged him to go on"
answered dear Uncle Lucky. At
which Mr.. Wren commenced again
his beautiful song while his pretty
mate sat on the eggs to keep them
warm.

/, A sweating, milling mass Of dele
rates. exhausted by the bitterest
political convention battle recorded
in history, at the last gasp named
a man creditable to the Democratic
PARTY at its best. At this writing
his associate on the ticket has not
been named. The prospects Of the
ticket, not bright at best. are
likely to be somewhat affected by
khat-choice.
John William Davis was born at
Clarksburg, w. Va, April 10, 1873,
educated at Washington and Lee
University was admitted to the bar
in 1895, was for two years pro-
lessor OF law at his university,
then practiced law In his home
city for six years, and Is now a
member Of the New York law hrm
of -Stetson, Jennings & Russell.
In 1899 he was a member OF
the West Virginia House OF
Delegates, delegate to the Demo-
cratic national convention. 1904,
served in the SD and SD Con-
crosses. resigning in 1918 to be-
come solicitor general. which posi-
eion he occupied for five years, then
receiving appointment as ambassa-
dor to Great Britain in which posi-
ton he served until 1921. An excel
lent record. Since that time he,
through bis law firm. has been con-
nected with the legal management
of the affairs of the J. p. Morgan
concern, this being cited by some of
his party as an objection. putting
him In the light of being a tool Of
Wall Street. This evidently didn't
weigh heavily in the minds Of that

not quite At him. Oscar w. Under
wood. q close second, has had an
experience in some ways better
qualifying him for the tasks of a
chief executive but his frank at
titude respecting the Khan was not
overlooked.
From the Republican standpoint,
It may be thought the convention
has selected a leader scarcely de-
served by his party in its present
condition. yet a selection. all things
considered, highly creditable to the
delegates and gratifying to all who
hope to see leadership In the hands
Of sane men. And while those dele

A SHAME OF AMERICA

defective justice in America Is
the shame of America" Caspar H
Yost, editor. and president of the
American Society Of Newspaper Ed
itors, told delegates to the American
Bar Association. Monday.
Mr.. Yost is not alone in that con-
clusion and 1t is hoped the delegates
to the American Bar Association en-
terrain a similar one. Not that they
can change all the conditions, but
that IL thoroughly aroused they can
help materially.
We shouldn't overlook the fact
that we have a share in the re-
sponsibility. That can't be shoulder
ed onto any association. Right here
in our own State exists a condition
Of things inviting criminals-unpre-
paredness. That costs money. SO
does preparedness. it is--one of the
many things we cannot have with
out price. though it would seem con-
siderable improvement might be had
without extravagant outlay.
The criminal wishing to adventure
into the Maine field knows full well
there is nothing to fear from con-
certed, systematically directed effort
to apprehend him. He can come. loot
and be out of the State before the
officers OF the law even can get a
smell of his gasoline. y.
We presume Maine people are as
ashamed as any of the failure of
justice in this country, ashamed of
the many who are not apprehended,
or, II by chance are overtaken so Of
ten get clear Of their deserts. If we
do happen to feel that way about 1t
we have in our hands by appropri-
ate legislation and provisions the
power to make an attempt to do our
part to bring about more respect
able condition of affairs.
And Mr.. Yost went on to say:
THE instruments of justice and of
law enforcement throughout America
are manacled by preposterous sys-
tenn of criminal jurisdiction that
gives crime every advantage over
justice. and creates the paradox that
law often cannot be enforced because
the law will not permit it's enforce
ment. Crime is disgracefully preva-
lent In America because the admin
istration of justice is not sound. be-
cause, in fact, 1t not only permits
but encourages crime"
Who is. there to dispute him?

Maine GOSSIP
The Beggar Cat

Poor little beggaS cat, hollow-eyed and
Creeping down the alley-way like a
ghost of want.
Kicked and beat by thoughtless boys,
bent on cruel play,
What sorry life you lead, whether
night or day!
Hunting after crusts and crumbs,
gnawing meatless bones,
trembling at a human step, fearing
bricks and stones,
shrinking at an outstretched hand,
knowing only blows,
Wretched little beggar cat, born to
suffer woes.
Stealing to an open door, craving food
and meat,
Frightened off with angry cries and
broomed into the street,
tortured, leased and chased by dog
through the lonely night,
Homeless little beggar cat, sorry is
your plight.
Sleeping anywhere you can, in the rain
or snow,
Waking in the cold, gray down, Won
dering where to go.
Dying in the street at last, starved to
death at that,
Picked ~ up nor by by the scavenger-poor
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
From reader Of the Journal, who is
a friend of cats, In fact she raises
some very beautiful specimens, comes
this plea: THE practice of going on
vacations. leaving the cat at home to
forage for itself or leaving the animal
at the summer home to starve through
the winter is most inhuman act"
Rev. Lawrence B. Greenwood Is
back in Wiscasset and will open his
annual campaign in the tabernacle
this month: He has passed the
Winter and Spring in Baltimore,
and New York where he has attain
ed great results with his evange-
listic work.
A New York car with a license
plate of over 100000 crossed the
ferry At Bath a few DAYS ago and
attached to the regular registra-
ton plate was one of similar size
and color. It attracted much at
tention and on 1t was inscribed
Vote for Gov. Al. Smith"
Major H. H. Shorey of Bridgton,
the Civial War veteran and for over
40 years secretary Of his regiment,
is sending out notices calling his old
comrades into reunion in Bangor,
Sept. 16. Though retired from jour,
nalistic work he never forgets his
duties as surviving comrade Of the
old Fifteenth.
The rumor that Hon. William r.
Pattangall. democratic nominee for
governor Of Maine, might be nomin-
ated for vice president at the ma
tional convention in New York, re-
calls the fact that Maine once
furnished vice president In Han
nibal Hamlin, who served with the
great Lincoln, and also furnished a
nominee in Arthur Sewall of Bath
who ran on the free silver ticket
