President Coolidge's reported decision to
retain his cabinet with the one exception of
Secretary OF Agriculture Gore, who will soon
resign to take the office OF Governor Of West
Virginia, is pleasing to the country. The ex-
perence gained by the cabinet members
(nearly all OF whom served during the Hard
ing administration from their years of ser
vices as heads Of the various departments is
invaluable to the government. In this coun-
try there is no training for official work 1t
is wise for an administration to take advant-
age OF the next best thing and retain men in
office whose work has been satisfactory.

The world has no greater treasures than
those of personality. No man can give a
gift great than himself to the world The
power of great movements lies in the personal
characters they enshrine and in the truths
they embody. Manhood and womanhood are
the nations greatest asset

The lower house of congress has voted to
exclude firearms from the mails, but this
does not mean that a perceptble check in
crime activities will be made as a result. Law
enforcement remains, by virtue of the pun
ishment Of which it is capable, the only de
terrent of crime.

Must Do 1t Ourselves.

Small industries do more to make thrifty
and prosperous town than any other agency.
Even blacksmith shop helps the communi-
ty along" says the Montgomery Advertiser,
and the cotton factories, planning mills, and
industries that require workmen to run them
bring people to the town. There are many
little towns in Alabama that depend entirely
upon these industries. Take them away and
the population goes with them and there is
soon no town"
Commenting along the same line the Syl-
vester Local very truthfully declares this part
of the country is going to have long wait
if the people sit around and depend upon
somebody from elsewhere to come in and
put things to moving. Continuing our con-
temporary says: This applies to the farm
ing situation here. 1t also applies to the bus
mess situation in town. If Sylvester ever
becomes anything more than farmers sup
ply town, depending entirely on farming for
its support, the people here will have to
make the initial move to get factories locat-
ed here. We will have along wait if we sit
still and do nothing but hope that some
body from New England will come down
and locate cotton factory here"
All OF which applies to Dawson as much
as it does to Sylvester. Dawson nor any 9th
er town can grow and prosper as long as it
depends entirely upon the agricultural re-
sources of the surrounding section and has
ready cash in the channels OF trade only five
or six weeks during the year. the rest of the
time being spent sitting around waiting for
cotton to come in. The sooner we recognize
that fact the sooner will Dawson take on
new life and begin to grow. The live towns
today are the ones with industrial enterpris
es and pay rolls, and they are out-d stancing
others with equal natural advantages

Taxation a Live Issue.
From the Sandersville Progress

1t is time for the American people in their
political activities to deal with the cost of
taxation as live issue and educate them
selves upon economy in government and
make an issue OF economy until that result is
achieved and maintained One-seventh OF the
income of our people now goes to taxes. We
are paying three times as much per capita III
taxes as we did in 1912. If, then, we are to
preserve the rights OF the individuals to prop
erty. which 50 far has proved the only in
centive to material progress in the world and
the only safeguard to the home and the ma
ton, we cannot ignore the fact that pub
lie expenditures are being refklessly made
and public debts incurred oni vast scale
without due regard Tor fhe erect upon that
great body OF citizens upon whose success
ful activities the nation depends for its lie.

IN MAINE FORESTS

The Maine Forest Service is estab-
fishing camp sites and lunch grounds
throughout the forestry district, it
was announced Thursday. They will
be approximately 80 feet square and
will be built on the highways near
spring or brook. The areas are being
cleared of all rubbish and inflammab bic

tial rock fireplace. and a table with
shelter capable of seating a dozen
people will be built. Large metal
signs will be placed alongside the road
indicating their location. The public
is cordially invited to use these sites
for camping and picnicking and to use
the fireplaces instead of building fires

cooperate with any landowners in or
ganized towns who desire to estab-
lish such sites and will furnish, with

u. OF N. STUDENTS
B D FAREWELL ;
TO PRES. LITTLE

Orono, Me-, July 23.-(AP)-
Cheered by students of the Univer-
sity of Maine summer school and
DID farewell by its director with
words more than touched with irony
regarding that interesting product
OF American democracy-the State
University in New England" DR..
Clarence c.. Little today had severed
his relations with the University of
Maine to become president of the
University of Michigan.
While his resignation as president
does not become effective until Sept.
l. DIR. Little made his last appear
ance before a group of students at
the Maine institution when h etold
2oo members of the summer school
classes that "adaptability" is the es-
sence of success and that the
dinosaur was an example of failure
because OF the lack of just that
quality.
Fraught with an air of the dra-
matte, the chapel exercises were
marked by cheers for DIR. Little and
a GREATNESS interest in his remarks
In which members of the faculty and
the student body saw reflection of
the views which the educator has ex-
pressed in his battle for large ap-
preparations from the State for the
university. When DIR. Little counsel
led "adaptability" his audience knew
he meant the State of Maine and his
previous declarations that it had not
adapted itself to educational
growth.
DR.. Little resigned after the Maine
legislature turned down requests for
an increased appropriation. At the
time he criticized the State for fail
ing to keep pace with education.
DIR. H. M. Ellis, director of the
university's summer school was also
wildly applauded when he declared
that the New England State univer-
sity has had to fight it's way through
the underbrush of local interfer-
ence and hostility, land that it has
doubtless acquired most peculiar
twists. kinks and knots in it's grain
Insofar as the people or the leg
islature of Maine, the students of
the faculty may, ever have failed to
keep step with the president, it has
been that we were not able always
to follow his pace. We have been
at times like the little boy who tries
to keep up with the rapid gait of a
grown man, out of breath, running
a few steps now and then, and still
falling behind. Straining our gaze
to see what was ahead, we have
been able to see only vaguely and
get but nfomentary glimpses what to
his clear vision often appeared as
near and as an achievable end"
