"SOME HUckLEBERRY"

For those "all carried away" by
notions Of government manage
ment," who happen to be interested
in packing blueberries in Maine the
situation down in the BURBERRY
region now Is illuminating, and pre-
sumably irritating. It seems that
for 40 years the berry fly has laid
eggs in blueberries and so hurts the
quality of the product, though not
destroying the food value, it is said.
Without warning, and after the can
ners and pickers had made arrange
ments for securing the pack a hum
dred government inspectors appear
on the scene, the packing is stopped
and great loss will be occasioned to
both packers and pickers.
We do not know much about it but
would prefer the uninfested blue
berry for ours. On the other hand
we are unable to understand why
the Government has just arrived at
the conclusion that packing of ber-
ries such as hitherto have been
packed should be stopped. Why has
it not known of this before? And
If it did know why has it not warned
the packers and so saved loss of
money and effort? And If Senators
or representatives succeed in having
the ban lifted will that improve the
berries Qacked?

We had been under the i'm
preston that national political
censors Of the Massachusetts, variety,
what with their wrangle over the
candidacy for Senator, to mention
one political diversion. were having
their hands full at the present
moment. But they have, It seems,
found a precious moment in which
to turn an eye Of appraisal on
politics in Maine. Perhaps had the
moments been more numerous their
conclusions might have been more
nearly accurate. For one thing they
would have learned that the Cover
nor long ago declared his opposition
to the Khan. However, he cannot so
easily escape criticism Of his posi-
ton on Defense Day.
We also agree with the Transcript
that the Republican position is
stronger and cleaner" because of
what General Dawes had to say
about the Khan. We believe he told
the truth. not part Of the truth;
that he told 1t in such manner as
to command conviction. told it as 1t
should be told, the truth without
acrimony, hysteria or frenzy.
Lamentations respecting Repub-
lican leadership in Maine should not
divert the Bay State censors from
consideration Of their own posi-
bilities for Improvement. When
looking back along the Maine line to
Blaine and Reed, they might profit
ably include in their vision Senator
Hcar and the Adams family. In
deed 1t might seem pertinent to re-
mind them that Coolidge Is not
President because he came from
Massachusetts nor Is likely to be re-
elected because Of that. But we
would have nothing said about all
this which might disturb his vaca-
tien In his old home town in Yer
meat. Indeed, but for Coolidge and
Dawes, It might fare badly with the
aspirations OF some Of the presum-
ably wise leaders Of Massachusetts
Republicans. Perhaps after Maine
has gone Republican by a good ma
jority on Sept. sth the Transcript
will feel better about 1t.

publican principles Of which Presi-
dent Coolidge and General Dawes are
the eloquent spokesmen today-the
principles of a party that abhors
race prejudice, religious bigotry and
class envy, that spurns the company
and the communicating support of
masked klansmen or unmaskcd
pacifists.
If the Republicans carry the State
in the September election they can
thank the prestige of President Cool
idge and the presence of General
Dawes at Augusta for that fact.
Probably the Republican majority
will be reduced, and the reduction
will be due to the disgust of real
Republicans with the doings of the
klan and the doctrine of the pacifists.
Ii Maine goes Republican this year
it will go Tor Coolidge and Dawes in
spite of Baxter and Brewster. In
stead of telling the truth about the
state of politics in the cold gray
dawn of the day after the Maine
election why not proclaim the truth
to the country now? For the truth
is always mighty when told in time.

Editorial Comment
State of Maine Politics
rBOStOn TrancCripO


President Coolidge is not RESPONSE
bic for the condition of the Republic
can party in the State of Maine to-
day. Neither is General Dawes. The
record Of the Republican Congress is
not responsible. Neither are the Re-
publican governors of the other New
England States. The blame for the
plight of the party of Abraham Lin
coin and Theodore Roosevelt in the
State indissolubly linked with the
names and fame of James q. Blame
and Thomas B. Reed and William +.
Frye and long list of distinguished
Republican leaders contributed ny
the Republicans of Maine to the Re
publicans of the Nation, is a divided
ity-divided between Gov
ernor Baxter and the Republican
nominee to succeed him. MI. Brew
ster. Under the administration of
the one, the Republican party in
Maine through its titular leader has
lodged the challenge of the ku kluX
Khan and flirted with pacifism of the
Wisconsin brand. AS candidate
for the Republican nomination for
governor Mr.. Brewster Courted the
support of the Khan by his silence,
and since his nomination he has been
afraid to risk the opposition of the
Khan by regulating its support or
condcmning the organization by
name.
1t was in this desperate situation
that the Republican organization
raised a Macedonian cry for the
assistance of General Dawes. Those
who sent this appeal to national
headquarters knew that Coolidge's
running mate had denounced the
Khan and was an opponent of its
methods and its anti-American prin-
ciples. Nor were the Republican pol
iticians of Maine ignorant of the fact
that what General Dawes believes.
that he has the courage to declare.
Entering the State last Saturday, he
was met with a challenge from the
Democratic nominee for governor to
speak his mind on the Khan. This
General Dawes did with rather more
self-restraint than is his custom and
with rather more. explanation, we
think, than was either necessary or
desira BILE. But he did Genounce the
Khan; he did repudiate its doctrine
and its methods. And his party in
the nation today, Maine included,
stands stronger and cleaner for his
speech in Augusta.
We wish the general had gone
further and declared his belief in the
observance of Defence Day; he might
well have regretted that a Republic
can governor of a New England state
and the La Toilette governor of
La Toilette State had refused to sup
port the plan of the government at
Washington for a popular observ-
ance of st. Mihiel Day. But his,
silence on this score will not be mis-
understood. His service record
speaks for itself.
For the rank and file of the Re-
publicans of Maine there remains
only to offer them an expression
of the sympathy Of Republicans
throughout the country that the
leadership of the Republican party
in Maine has been of such weak
and vacillating sort in recent years
as to deprive the State of it's right
to be regarded any longer as a lead
