THE NEW BISHOP IN MAINE

The installation of Right Reverend
John Gregory Murray, d. D., as
bishop of the Roman Catholic Do
cese of Maine, is attended by many
assurances that wise selection mas
been made for the important work to
be done in this Diocese, work re-
curing administrative ability of
high order, tact and commanding
personality. Those acquainted with
Bishop Murray, with his service for
the Church in Hartford and the es-
TEEN in which he was held there, eX-
press assurance respecting his sue
cess in his new field.a
Maine people wish him well in the
undertaking on which he is entering.
It is within his power to contribute
very materially to the welfare OF the
State. The bishops of this Diocese
have been influential citizens OF the
state and in many ways have been
able to aid in promoting its we'll
being. The influence which he had
among the people from whom he has
come, the affection and respect In
which he is said to have been held
by them, the description of him as
distinguished in appearance, benev-
olent in features, affable in manner
and learned in all that pertains to
the history Of the Church." all are
happy auguries attending him.

- Is 1T TRUE
HAS 1T COME TO PASS?

"And it shall come to pass in the
last days, teven now that the noun
tain (nation) of the Lords house
(America) shall be established in the
top of the mountains (nations, it is)
and shall be exalted above the hills.

full of silver and gold, neither Is

Their land is also full of horses,

is also full of idols, they worship the
work of their own hands," Doctrines
OF mem The above is the part Of

was written more than twenty-six
hundred years ago. Who could even
Americas last days" with so few
words? Last days of what? Sure
ly not of this planet. "The earth

Woe to the inhabitants of the earth

ing his time is short" This scripture
becomes significant as the crest of
diabolical evil manifests itself in
men. AS this evil increases men will
begin to inquire, what saith prophecy
regarding these last days" Come
my people. enter into thy chambers,
shut thy doors about thee, hide thy,
self as it were for little moment
until the Indignation be past, for the
Lord shall come out Of his place to
punish the inhabitants of the earth

need of getting votes. There's that
much to be said in favor Of it.
Whatever may be our conclusion
we should not overlook the high
courage with which the men Of the
Army and the Navy have undertaken
the experiments. The country is un-
der an obligation to them which it
may never repay. In most instances
we believe they have had implicit
confidence in the judgment Of their
superiors, and considering all that
has been done we should be chary
in criticism of that judgment. One
thing is certain; these risks should
neither be asked nor permitted with
out the utmost care to avoid accl-
dents. A further conclusion that is
hardly avoidable is that the country
must look for the chief development
of aviation at the hands Of the COM
mercial interests and that these
should be encouraged in every prac-
ticable way.

A DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC
SERVANT

The resignation Of John Wingate
Weeks from the Cabinet has been
foreshadowed since his severe illness
vet the announcement revives the re-
greet that was experienced when 1t
became probable. He has been q
commanding figure in the business
and political world. He has rendered
great service to his country as a
Senator and cabinet official, has been
a tower of strength for getting sensi-
BILE things done. In the doing OF It
his health has been impaired. He
really owed it to himself to retire
months ago. That he yielded to what
he deemed his duty is characteristic
of his public service. We are re-
minded of the great need the coun-
try has for men of his calibre and
experience in the management OF its
affairs.

AT LOCARNO

In 1914 a treaty in Germany was
looked upon as merely scrap oil
PAPER. The Germans would seem to
have undergone change for the
better, judging from the meticulous
insistence their representatives are
making at Locarno and the resort to
"a gentleman's agreement" to quail
ify the terms of such covenant as
they hope to draw. In brief this
agreement expresses the opinion that
the League of Nations cannot ask
from member states military, eco
nomic or financial contributions In
case of war, which would be incom-
patible with their capacity" At this
writing it also seems probable that
the desire of France for some meth
cd whereby she may keep faith with
Poland and Czechoslovakia, in event
Of their being attacked, will be met
through this agreement.
One may better comprehend the
desire for an agreement at Locarno
ST informed of the evident desire Of
soviet Russia to prevent such an
agreement. Tchitcherin has been a
very busy official of the bolshevik
the past few weeks. All the allure
ments Of Russian resources and COM
munistic imagination have been
spread before the eyes of the Ger
mans to convince them that their
hopes lie to the eastward in the de-
velopment of Russian resources and
in allying themselves with the soviet.
In Poland he has tried to tempt the
Poles away from France by the offer
Of treaty advantages. Had there
been in the worlds experience with
communism any evidence warranting
the placing of faith in the bolshevist
leaders he might have prevailed.
Such result would argue badly for
the future peace of Europe or for CO.
ordinated effort among the European
peoples.
II success attends the Locarno
Conference the prediction of Lafay-
cite in 1925. that there would be in
1895 a United States of Europe,
would seem to be nearer fulillment
than one might have reasonably hop
ed few months ago.

Now let me see. Dear Uncle
Lucky and Little Jack Rabbit had
been told their fortunes by the old
gypsy woman in the last story.
That's right, and both little rabbits
seemed very pleased, for with a smile
they said goodby and hoped back
into the Luckymobile in search or
another adventure. And before long
one turned up. Yes, sir. They had
gone but a little way. not so very
far, when all Of sudden, just like
that, quick as the bills on the first CT

blow harder and harder, whirling the
dust from the road all about them.

Well, I'll tell the world and a couple

his goggles with his blue silk polka

Breeze. "Of course when 1 blow
lightly only pick up bits of soil and
litter. But when I'm blowing hard
and strong I carry heavier bits
along" and just for fun, he lifted
dear Uncle Lucky's hat right off his
head.

bunny gentleman, catching hold OF
the brim just in time with his left
paw, 'Ill take your word for it. Don't

AVIATION, HOW DEVELOP?

Captain E. V. Rickenbacker, the
celebrated American ace, is trying to
interest business organizations, Ro-
tary, Kiwanis and clubs of business
and professional men. in an endeavor
to inform themselves respecting the
actual conditions of aviation in this
country, In that way he believes the
matter may be cleared up, as "all
aviation Is commercial aviation" he
declares.
He goes on to say that it is futile
to talk about military aviation with
out first discussing commercial de-
velopments Of aeroplanes, air-ways,
air. dromes and what pertains 10
these; that but fifteen per cent of
the cost of flying is in the air; that
the only type Of aeroplane that would
be Of use in time Of war would be
those which would be in production
In large volume; that the Govern
ment cannot use a large volume of
any type Of plane; that any plane
serving commercial purposes may be
adapted to war purposes as were the
hivvers during the last war.
It Is evident that he considers pri-
vate enterprise for development Of
aviation preferable to any attempts
that might be made under Govern
ment supervision, and in that con-
clusion he has influential support.
Chairman Madden of the House ap-
preparation committee declares the
Army and Navy have squandered
millions Of dollars "in a purposeless,
meaningless. endless experimental
orgy. Probably there will be some,
who while not going to the length of
Chairman Madden, who while aware
that politics exert great influence on
congressional appropriations, never
theless will feel that the bureaus of
the Army and the Navy are not plac-
- where one should expectantly
search for examples of stringent
economy. Many also are mindful of
professional jealousies, favoritism
md such influences that may find
expression in the Government ex-
periments made and the approvals
granted. obstacles which under COM
naercial enterprise would be less toll
Grated.
The public must keep ''the golden
mean" in consideration when reading
the assertions and accusations in
volved in this air controversy. When
men Of the undoubted skill and ex-
perience Of Colonel Mitchell criticjse
the Government because of the
planes 1t sent with Macmillan, de-
claring those were unfit as they We're
designed for the tropics, and when
Commander Macmillan declares they

might have been sent, one inevitably
