Curses
Recently a widower with a young
daughter. Mary, married a widow
with little girl, Rachel age three.
After they were married, the man
took little Rachel on his knee, and
tried to explain matters to her; how
they would all live together; how his
little girl Mary would call Rachel's
mother Mamma" and she, Rachel,
must now call him Papa" how her
mamma was now his wife and, ac-
cordingly, Mary and Rachel were sis

Little Rachel listened attentively,
and when he got through explaining,
sat very quiet for several minutes.
Then she asked. seriously: How did
you folks get things mixed up so?"

this time to laugh over the ways Of
men.
One of the more interesting tales
in this remarkable collection Is that
of a voyage to Clipperton Reef on a
whaler. The ship after being nearly
wrecked by sudden squat was
worked into a small harbor near the
little isle known as Clipperton Reef.
Here, through the action of an earth
quake the harbor entrance was sud-
denly closed up and the ship was I'M
prisoned. The way in which. through
the workings of nature, and unaided
by the hand of man, the ship Is
saved, proves startling conclusion
to an interesting tale.

SELECTED A GOOD MAN

At this distance it looks very much
as though Governor Baxter had tried
promptly to end the intolerable stu
alton with respect to the sheriff of
Aroostook county. He has appointed
10 finish out the year an expert
enced man Of high reputation who
did not seek the place and will not be
candidate at the June primaries.
Martin Lawliss has been a sheriff
in that county. has the respect of the
public judging from all accounts we
hear. and did not want the job. In
se!ccting-him the Governor. who de-
clares his belief in the desire of the
people Of that county TO enforce the
prohbitory law. has not interfered
with the opportunity OF the voters to
make their own selection at the June
primaries. unprecedented by the Gov
errors choice of Mr.. Lawlss.
The Governor takes advantage Of
the opportunity afforded him to adj
wise the public not to accept any
statement as coming from him unless
it is issued directly from the execu-
tive chamber. also to remind US that:
"a mans good name is his dearest
possession, but when 1t is attacked in
an underhanded way, ne has no re-
dress"

'cLEANlNe UP PHILADELPHIA

The somnolence Of Philadelphia is
to cease to be a joke, for a time at
least. That city has walked up to the
fact that it doesn't wish to be ruled
by it's criminal element.
The mayor called the Fighting
Quaker" General Smedley D. Butler
of the U. S. Marine Corps. as director
Of public safety. The General has
notified the keepers of these resorts
TO close their doors, telling the public
that unless this is done he will do 1t
for them; that II be police can't DO
it he knows of 5000 marines who can.
This is showing the dive keepers
and the bootlegging interests where
they get off or are kicked off. The
pity of it is that the citizens them
selves didn't do this very thing long
time ago. 1t isn't a healthy sign
when n federal official has to be call
ed in and apply the methods of mill
tary law. 1t may not always be pos
sible to keep Philadelphia good In
that fashion. Meanwhile the citizens
will have lost the art Of doing for
themselves what they have called in
an outsider to do for them.

Editorial Comment
A Faulty Tax Law
Boston PoSt)

The Massachusetts income tax law
should either be materially amended
or repealed entirely. AS the Post
has frequently pointed out. Massa-
chusetts got along very well before
she ever had an income tax, and
could do so now.
The law as it stands Is not only a
source of annoyance. but is and has
been manifestly unfair in its work.
ings. 1t is much more complicated
than the Federal law; ]t taxes a citi-
zen even If he had no net income for
the taxable year: and most vicious
of all it is now being used to make
up for every deficit that an eXtrava-
CANT legislature may incur.
A, year or two ago an s per cent.
additional tax was levied against in
comes to pay the State bonus to the
soldiers. Now comes a 10 per cent.
tax to pay for the mistakes of a
previous legislature in overtaXing or
illegally taxing bank stocks. 1t is
entirely POSSIBLE, and in view of the
record quite probable, that these
extra taxes will be tackled on every
year in the future.
The income tax is driving capital
sout of the State, and hamstringing
that which stays here. 1t is high
time that it was carefully revised
and restricted or thrown into the
waste basket altogether.

Editors Letter Box
If We Mean Peace, Why Not Vote
Peace?-A Dream
Editor Kennebec Journal:

Editor Kennebec Journal:
I dreamed that one of the plans
submitted to the Peace Award COM
mittee would be, if carried out, very
effectual in preventing future wars.
1t appeared to be plan that called
for an amendment of the Constitu-
ton.
The power of President and Con-
gress to declare an aggressive war,
would be curtailed. The amended
const tuition would require the Presi-
dent, before declaring an aggressive
war. to submit to the people, the
question of war or peace. by a refer
endum. If go per cent. of the people
voting declare against war, it would
debar the President from declaring
war. Hereby the people would
come into their rights. Politics and
money would no longer determine ag-
gressive wars. The men. who would
have to stop the bullets and be
MANNED or killed, would have h
voice as to peace or war The few
could not sweep the multitude INTO
the flames of hell.
This plan should go to the people,
by referendum that they may, if they
favor it, call upon Congress to submit
the amendment, thus bringing in
true Democracy, in place of an auto
cracy in war.

Names Ten Champions

Maine may not be treating 'em
rough, but she is catching 'em early
and training 'em well in the crafts
of the farm and the household.
Nearly hundred boys and girls,
county champions, have just attended
State contest at the University of
Maine. They competed in canning,
cooking and housekeeping, sewing,
room improvement, gardening, poul-
try management, chicken and pig
raising. and sweet corn and potato
cultivation. Last year, more than
200 of them carried through the
projects which agricultural club lead
ers directed. 1t takes in both boys
and girls. 1t makes the land more
productive and profitable, and the
home more inviting. 1t provides for
that kind of intelligent follow-up
work. without which the best of I'M
dertakings are likely to. fail.
AS Senator Aldrich phrased the
situation many years ago, New Eng
land is at the end of long haul.
She must offset the natural advan-
tages of other sections by starting
the days work early, staying at 1t
late and working hard in between.
The Maine scheme does all that. The
training is intensive, thoroughly
practical. comparatively inexpensive
and popular. 1t is one of the best
