vincing address on the World Court

Differences. at the regular luncheon
session of the club held in the ban

The address by Congressman Nell

Editor, Kennebec Journal,
Augusta, Maine.
Dear Sir:
/ notice with no little surprise the
lack of response to your appeal IN
behalf Of the Edgar Wilson Nye me-
mortal fund. Maine has rather an
enviable position in the world of let
tiers so far as the humorous is con-
cerned. In the early days, Seba
Smith with scintillating brilliance
and marvellous versatility, gave to
the world his political satires and his
Major Jack Downing letters. Charles
Farrar Brown, popularity known as
Artemus Ward, had brilliant career
as a humorous lecturer. One of the
remarkable biographies of recent
years is that of Don c. Seitz OF Arte-
mus Ward. There came from the
press of Albert and Charles Bon1,
New York, in 1924, the selected
works of Artemus Ward by Albert j.
Mock. 1t has long been difficult to
secure copy of his complete works,
even at secondhand. The last was
published by Dillingham; in 1898. 1t
IS IOl 80 ulllCuIt " Uuy uio WI Ao
in London where Ward is more pop
ular than in his native America.
We have our own genial and kind
" humorous Arthur G. Staples
whose writings carry with them the
sweetness of light, the breath of the
hills, the tang of the ocean, enrich
ing memories of childhood and re-
spect for the ancient landmarks. AL
ways and everywhere are the writ
ings of "a. G. 81 struck through
with a sound philosophy and whole
some sentiments.
We do we'll at this time to empha
size the Importance of Edgar Will
son Nye, who for thirty years enjoy
ed a national-wide popularity. Nye
was well educated and was admitted
to practice law in the courts of Wy
oming, where he founded a humorous

annie. He published a large number
of books, all of which are character
ICED not only by keen wit, but sane
views of life. 1t is certainly mat
ter of interest that the town of
Fletcher in North Carolina. in OBJ
serving it's 18th anniversary, is to
place a monument to his memory in
the churchyard where Bill Nye has
his final resting place. Maine should
take some part in this anniversary
observance.
Maine has been rather careless OF
her distinguished sons. I wonder
how many Maine people know the
story of Flint, who bought navies for
Japan and the United States; of
Richards, the author of books deal
ing with metallurgy; of Trip of the
Westinghouse Electrical Company;
of Coffin of the General Electric
Company; of Mitchell, who for years
wrote great editorials for the Sun.
The time has come when Maine
should not only know, but pay proper
tribute, to her sons and daughters
who in other states have achieved
greatness. 1t seems no better way
could be found just now to adver-
| tise Maine than to contribute the
small sum of $3.50 to the Edgar Will
| son Nye memorial in North Carolina.
I hope the Journal may be success
full in accomplishing this purpose.
Very truly yours,
HENRY Il. DUNNACK,
State Librarian.

CONGRESSMAN NELSON TELLS ROTARIANS
U. S. SHOULD LEAD way TO WORLD PEACE

that when America entered the
Great War, we told the boys of
America that we were fighting for
peace; that in that inspiration and
faith the youth of this land gave
their all on the battle fields of
France, THAT Peace might live" He
pictured how between 1875 and 1917
Destiny called America to the place
of spiritual leadership of the ma
tions of the world; how, the war
ended, these nations, war-weary
hungering for better international
relationships, looked to America to
lead the way to peace; how for over
six years America has failed to de-
wise or join in any constructive plan
tending to lessen the possibility of
future wars; how she has even re-
fused her sanction to the World
Court, set up by other nations as the
first forward step on tn road to
universal peace.
He spoke of the movement, grow
ing with amazing rapidity, looking to
the accommodation of war by the
christian chufch, and stated that
while education against war was
moving with extraordinary swift
Eess, education in moral substitutes
declared that further international
agreements to limit ornaments,
without parallel measures to provide
peaceful methods of settling disputes
between nations, were mere gestures.
mere dramatic than effective. lie
emphasized the necessity OF build
ing up machinery to settle all inter
national differences as they arise,
and the creating behind that ma
chinery public opinion SO strong
tfat no nation can withstand it.
Mr.. Nelson reviewed the jurisdic-
ton of the court and the manner of
electing its judges. He called at
; tention to the fact that the Court
Is now firmly established and has
heen functioniDg successfully for
some three years: that AZ nations
are giving it their cordial sanction
and support. He declared that while
the Court would not Immediately end
war, yet it was a step in the right
direction; that recognition by the
great powers of the principle of jur-
tice and equity as applied to inter-
national affairs would ultimately
lead to the abandonment of war as
a recognized institution. To the cry
that it is impossible to abolish war,
lie stated That we nave already abol-
lshed war wherever the remedy
the courts-have been applied.
Through the courts we have abolish
ed war between individuals, between
families, between cities, and between
sovereign states. 1t remains but to
extend the principle to nations. He
stated it as his belief that it was
Americas duty not only to make it
q htJf RI
ate with other nations in achieving
and preserving world peace and JUS
tic. He asked that America should
not los the vision, repudiate her
ideals of the past, surrender her
hopes of yesterday, and throw away
tie moral leadership of the world;
that she should lead the nations
away from the old bloody pathway
that ends in war and destruction, in
to new way, the road to- peace
through justice.

infant MORTALITY
RATE IN maine
Mp. H. AS ADVICE

Names death rate among babies
was considerably less during 1874
than it was In 1923 according to fig
ures just issued by the United States
Public Health Service. For 1924 the
rate was S07 per 1000 births while
the 1923 rate was 88.5-a decrease
of almost 10 per cent. On the other
hand Names birth rate increased
from 22.6 per 1000 population In
1923 to 1856 for 1924.
These figures are for the state as
a whole. For Maine cities where the
records of births and deaths are an
important part Of the work OF health
authorities, considerable variance
is revealed through the Federal fig
ures. The town of Sanford shows
the greatest Improvement in infant
mortality. For the year 1928, the
death rate among Sanford babies
was 1898 per 1000 births while for
1924 there were only GA infant
deaths per 1000 births.
Waterville shows an increase from
TIC baby deaths per 1000 births
during 1923 to 1913 during the past
year. The baby death rate in Bath
per 1000 births increased from IS in
1923 to 1855 in 1924. The rate in
Bangor decreased from 76.5 during
1923 to 69.6 in 1924. Auburn also de-
creased it's infant death rate from
1865 in 1923 to S5.6 in 1924.
Biddeford shows a decrease from
1859 to 1913. Augusta and Lewiston
show slight increases in the baby
death rate over the previous year.
OF the 81 states listed in the reg
1stration area for births and death
ratings, had higher baby death
rate per 1000 births than Maine.
The five are Delaware, Florida,
Maryland, North Carolina and South
Carolina.
These figures were presented by
the Maine Public Health Association
today as a matter of great concern
past year has shown a great i'm
provement in Names infant death
rate with approximately ten per
cent reduction. still Names baby
death rate is far higher than it
should be when it is exceeded by on
1y five states and all of them in the
South where a large proportion Of
the population is colored.
I'VE should be encouraged at the
improvement shown during the past
year in Maine" an official Of the as
ISOLATION said today, but we should
give more impetus than ever to the
organized effort in Maine to elm
mate the causes of needless deaths
among our babies and adults. One
OF our greatest sources of state wide
development and progress is being
weakened each year through a need
less loss Of life"

being searched a crowd assembled.
Take advantage of that fact KEGS
made break for liberty and it was
a merry chase before he was recap

fired at him three times and made
three hits in his jumper, but luckily
did not puncture KEGS body. He is
now in Jail to wait the action of the

On Tuesday, the 18th of March, the
Presbyterian ministers of the two
counties of Accomack and Northamp-
ton met at the Accomack Hotel and
spent some time in discussing the in
terests Of the Presbyterian Church on
the Eastern Shore. A ministers as
ISOLATION was formed, with Rev. F. D.
Thomas, of Accomack, as president.
Rev. R. A. Brown, of Wachapreague,
treasurer, and Rev. John r. Rosebro
of Bay View, secretary.
A plan was formed for trying to
get all the elders and deacons of all
the churches to come together at some
central point at a suitable date for the
purpose of getting acquainted and for
having presented to them any matters
affecting the common interests of all
the churches, A committee was ap-
pointed to communicate with the diff
ferent churches and try to arrange
for such a gathering.
Much intrest was taken in the mat
ter of having the gifts of the church
to Foreign Missions to go to the same
foreign missionary, who would be
known as the Missionary of the East
ern Shore. Reports from the churches
showed that enough money is being
given each year to do this.
