Much Said That 10 MisIeadin

Much has been said that is mis-
leading. The following quotation
from recent address at Litchfield,
Me-:
1T is elemental that taxation must
be for public purposes. yet the State
Is now faced with the proposal to di :
vert public funds to the support of
sectarian or parochial schools and on
the other hand under present exemp-
ton laws the State must witness a
constantly increasing Withdrawal OF
real estate from the tax burden thus
shifting the burden to the remaining
property. Unless the State within
the Immediate future makes proper
constitutional provision to protect
against diversion of public funds 10
sectarian schools 1t will be too late.
once the practice now prevalent I'm
northern Aroostook, whereby public
school funds are used in the MAIN
tenance OF parochial schools, is ex-
tended to other sections of the State,
there Is no limit to the funds which
would be required as the years go
by. Bishop Walsh has made II en-
tirely clear that he believes these
funds should be secured by with
drawing from the country towns q
portion of the amounts which they
are now receiving from the State
treasury for rural education, In order
that it may be devoted to the paro-
chial schools In the cities. Mean
while, the cities are staggering I'M
der the heavier and heavier burden
of tax-exempt real estate"
This is not fair statement and is
very misleading. In the st. John
Valley in Aroostook the population is
95 per cent. French Catholic. In all
the towns money Is raised in the
usual way for schools and all the
schools are under the control of DIR.

ton. just as are all other schools in

every way conform to the require
ments of the State law. After the
regular sessionsS the buildings are

!, for any constitutional amendment
with that provision in it?'
The second part of section / Of the
proposed amendment l will state
again:

troll or otherwise. wherein any de-
nominational doctrine is inculcated:
and no such grant, appropriation or
use of public money or properly or
loan Of public credit shall be made
, or authorized for the purpose Oh
founding. maintaining or aiding any
church. religious denomination or so
cicty."
This is the part relating TO sectar-
ian schools, as the phrase is used in
the list of schools which | have read
some eight or ten come within the
! meaning of the word "sectarian" and
two of those are Catholic schools,
the only Catholic schools receiving
any State aid. This sectarian feature
or the amendment Is the only one
which has been referred to by any
candidate. Coupled with it has teen
used the word "parochial" whic.l
strictly refers to the schools in a city
or town conducted by church auth
critics the Catholic parochial
schools. This "sectarian' issue. So
called. is apparently the only issue

Film is that viscous coat that YOU

ices and stays. It hides the natural
luster of your teeth.
1t also holds food substance which
ferments and causes acid. In contact
with teeth, this acid invites decay.

they, with tartar, are the chief cause
of pyorrhea.

Legend of Pans Death

1t was currently believed among thu
early Christians that at the time Of
the crucifxion of Christ loud voice
was heard throughout the isles OF
Greece, proclaiming that the great
Pan was dead and that the rule Of thu
Olympian gods was at nm end.
"Plutarch is the first to tell the
story that in the reign of Tiberius
one Thamus, pilot, when steering
near the Islands of Paxae, was com.
manded by loud voice to proclaim
that the great Pan Is dead AS soon
as ne reached Palodes he cried the
news aloud from the poop Of his ship,
whereupon was heard great noise
of iamentation, as of nature itself ex-
pressing Its grief. The coincidence Of
this story with the birth or crucifixion
of Christ gave occasion to an expla-
nation that 1t marked the end of the
old world and the beginning of the
new when the old oracles became
dumb. Rabelais has the story, there IL
a well-knOwn allusion to 1t in Milton's
"Ode on the Nativity" and 1t has been
finely treated by Schiller and Mrs.

Chestnut Venders Join
Ranks of Profteera

The chestnut venders with theiI
saucepans and charcoal fires are per
haps the latest recruits to the ranks
Of the profiteers. Doubtless they car
present excellent economic arguments
to justify the high price of chestnut
this season. To the average man or
the street, however, the new scale OF
prices for roast chestnuts just an
nounced comes as a shock. Within
the last few days scores of these
venders have taken their places once
more on the street corners and one
rushes to them as to an old friend. A
glance at the familiar stand reveals
the same little tin measure as of old
but the good old days of five-ceni
purchases are gone. The smallest OF
the measures often are n quarter, and
q slightly larger size is 40 cents. The
