nIsplaTfrLLy WRITTEN

With the utmost respect for all men and women who devote themselves to what they believe to be a worthy cause and with the utmost respect especially for man who addressed New Brit ain audience Monday evening on the subject Of prohibition. one may never theless take the liberty Of quoting one statement he made and then. without comment upon 1t. leave that state- ment 10 the careful consideration or fair minded people 10 determine for fhemselvos whether CT not enthusiasm for the cause he advocated. rather than sound interpretation or the thing that happened. has not influenced William E. fPussyfoott Johnson when he says, After trying prohibition in s2o0 communities and 32 states Amer ican found it success and wrote il fprohibitionj into the fundamental laws Of the country with the most overwhelming display of popular aD- proval the world has ever seen"
 II is not to the first portion Of this statement that attention is called. II is to the assertion that prohibition was written in the fundamental laws of the country with the most over- BhelmiHg display gf popular approval the world has eyer seen"
 Here comes the pIsca tg pause and consider just how overwhelming" was the display Of popular approval"
 Taking F for granted that this pause has been made, one question Is suggested. How great would be the display of public approval Of the &C., ton then taken. if the same matter were to be submitted to the people today. after the prohibition amend rnent. as interpreted and attempted t9 be enforced by the yoIstead law. has been tried not only in 3zOo c0mmuni- ties and sz states. but in every com munIfy and in every state.

But why didn't they think up the automobile. the telephone, the tele- graph and the radio. Of course they may have thought up all these things, but there isn't any evidence Of it and when there isn't any evil dencc the lawyers say the proba
 bilty is that no such things existed. So we've got to take it for granted that old Tut's mind. like the minds all about him, didn't think of the radio and things likethat which we have today. Why didn't they? That's the question,
 And don't you know that perhaps there are things even we have not thought of. Ever consider that? We didn't. Perhaps, after all. some of the chaps who insist q new way of doing things is better than the old way may be all right, after all. Of course King Tut would have turned them down, just as we turned down that foolish man who tried to impress us with a new thought just last eve ming when we were interested in dis cussing that interesting matter of the story about Mrs. John Doe. Perhaps Ave ought to have listened to him. Perhaps-just perhaps, we are some times bit like old King Tut-perhaps we aren't using our brains quite as much as we might Do you know the thought occurs to us that as re- hinder not to be narrow and opin- ionated and backward it wouldn't be bad idea to put up sign in the front parlor, saying something about the uselessness of all old King Tnt's riches and how little they amounted to after all because of the thoughts he refused to entertain. We really be- lieve we'll never again say, to some- one with a new thought. "Tut-tut."

NO POLITICS"

Everyone knew what President Coolidge would say ih his New York speech about the Mellon tax plan, the
 soldier bonus and most Of the other
 matters touched upon. Those who agreed with him thoroughly agree
 with him still; those who had a
 slightly different opinion from his,
 probably hold to that different opin- ion. It was a typical Coolidge speech, simple and somewhat obvious--a real
 nice speech.
 But there was just one little matter
 about if that pcrpleNcs bit. or course il was fine of the president to insist that although he is q republi- can he would not shield a republican were the latter guilty. nor would he prosecute democrat merely because the latter was q democrat. That is splendid II really inspires enthnsi- asm to hear the president assure the people that he will not protect re- publican criminal because of the in- flnencn Of politics, nor will he prose cute an innocent democrat for politi- cal reasons The declaration Of such an idcalistic sentiment lifts the great office Of chief executive to an almost sublime conception of it, But really come to think Of IL. wc wonder If any one had an idea that a president of the United States could be small enough to take any other stand. Roal- ly. we were quite surprised that Pres idcnt Coolidge felt it necessary to as- sure the people that this would be his attitude. Wasn't it Cardinal Rech- lieu who. hearing tho pro'estations of loyalty from tine lips Of q guardsman, and noting the latter's obeisancc, re- marked, "That .bow's too low"
 And President Coolidge was strong in his disapproyal of linking the names of the guilty with the innocent then followed hisdisovowal of any intention of taking action against q democrat because tho man is a demo- crat. Well, as far SIS one has noticed there doesn't seem to be any accusa- ton of criminal act or breach of trust against any democrat at all. So why, in view of the presidents dislike of confusing the innocent and the guilty does he intimate that there might be prosecutions against democrats? It's just a bit confusing. but probably it's quite all right-it must be quite all right.

SMALLPOX

Universal sympathy is felt for those who have cause today to mourn the death Of the young women victims of smallpox. The suddenness of its coming, the sorrow it has brought and the dread it spreads moves all to real expression of sympathy,
 The board Of health of the city has repeated its urgent request that all people protect themselves against the disease through vaccination, It is emphasized that persons vaccinated successfully within five years are safe, and that persons who were vaccinat- ed more than five years ago are pro- tected in a measure although not ah- solutely safe. Those who have never been vaccinated are in constant dan ger.
 People rebel more and more against compulson. No compelling order has been issued The psychological effect of such order is bad, perhaps. At any rate the situation is not considered one to require it. The common sense of the people is appealed to. If that appeal is unaTailing the people of the city will be the sufferers, not only personally. but through the possibility of a spread of the disease that might tend 10 keep others away from this city. and might harm the business in- feresta 3f men and women Of the city.
 II seems most inappropriate to mten material matters such as this in tAe badow uf two deaths. But often there is but one way to make an ap- Hfa' Fsctivo. Whatever ones tenden-
 in looking at life. whether altruis-
 nr selfish sincere eftort should be made co have the earnest request that
 should protect themselves and laose Hith whom they come in con- tact. by vaccination. should be heed d.
 II should be emphasized that the health authorities are giving thorough attention 10 the situation. and that thnrs is nothing in that situation to cause general alarm. Deep eaAcorn is felt. however, lest more sorrol m0rn Of suffering. may come to theHpuople of the city through disregard of tho urgent appeal Of tho department ol health.

THE MAINE" REMEMBERED

Observance of Maine memorial day. now authorized. on Friday of this week has been urged by the governor of the state. Tonight the United Span ish War Veterans of this city will hold appropriate exercises. to which a cordial invitation to all, especially to members of patriotic organizations has been extended. An official state ment from the historian Of the A. G. Hammond Camp, w. J. Dyson, states that flags should be displayed al half mast in the forenoon and fullmast in the afternoon. This is the beginning of an annual observance which will be marked by exercises in the schools, as well as by cercmonials in other quarters.
 About 260 sailors and marines died when the Maine went down. Pestienee and disease rayaged the ranks of our men who faced these terrible dangers as foariossly as they faced the, known dangers of the munitions of the enemy in that Spanish American war Of 1898. From the lessons learned in that war came knowledge that preserved in health and strength the men of the army of this country who sailed across the sea almost twenty years later to fight for similarly Just cause on the battle fields of France.
 Cold words, these, 10 picture the excitement Of those days of 1898 when war had been almost forgotten and when the cry nf Cuba libre" stirred the blood Of youth. in school and college. at bench and in workshop and office, tp answer the call for men flo defend the weak, to assert the power of their country and it's de- termination not to allow the sinking of shin bearing our flag to go un- noticed; not to allow the murder Of over two hundred and fifty Of our men to go unavenged.
 Tn this city are many men who an- swered that call, who met those dam gers of disease and tho menace of death. Many Of them went through the same periods Of suffering through which the disabled of the world war are now passing; perhaps many of them have not recovered even today. All have a memory of terrible days which they will never be able 10 for got; all are stamped with seriousness born Of those days when modern in- rrntion had not brought to the army of the country the appliances calcu- lated to assuage the physical distress of it's fighting men.
 II is peculiarly appropriate today that an hour should bo given to eE- pr6ssion Of tribute to the memory of those whose lives were given up. "in the line Of duty" when the great ship "Tbe Maine" sinking. stirred the land to action: an expression Of ap- preciation and gratitude 10 those who, taking upon their shoulders inc duty of representing our country and who fought valiantly, under severe. often torturing handlcaps, 10 uphold the principles for which our country stands.

OTHER INQUIRIES

Another oil inquiry has been order- ed. It relates to oil prices. Why are they so high? Also gasoline?
 Then there's the Liberty Bond in- quiry. The story is that a lot of these bonds were issued in duplicate. That is, every time bond was printed. it's charged, another one just like it was run off. The government got the money for the first one, but the snspi- cion is that somebody else pocketed the price of the second. They can't be told apart, so now it's up to the government to redeem both of them.
 The Shipping Board. too, Is due to be investigated. And there are half q dozen others.
