DEAR MIR. FIXIT: I wish to ad-
wise that Ohio St. at Warman Ave.

Now traffic is heavy down our

There is a tendency to magnify the
worth of the past and minimize the
present." said Justice Luere B. Deasy
of Bar Harbor, speaking before the
members Of the Augusta Rotary Club
at their weekly meeting held Friday
evening at the Augusta House, land
when I hear man speak Of the good
old times want to ask him just what
he means by that phrase, to just what
period of time he is referring.
"If he means the period of his
grandfather's. time, considering that he
is a man of middle age, would like
to tell him that children were torn
from their mothers arms in those
good old times and were sold into
slavery"
He went on to point out that pre-
vious to that time there had been a
period of fanatical bigotry and intoler-
.ance when men and women were tried
and condemned as witches and others
were banished. He referred to the re-
cent Scopes trial in Tennessee, saying
that there a law had been passed pro-
hibiting the teaching of evolution in
the schools at public expense. Any
where else in the state 1t may be
taught, but by teaching as he did
Scopes broke the law, for which he
was sentenced to pay fine of $40.
Justice Deasy pointed out that If this
had been done in the good old days"
the best he could have hoped to get as
a sentence was Punishment, and that

SAYS GOOD OLD DAYS"
HAD NOTHING ON PRESENT

Spanish Inquisition> he would have
been torn limb from limb.
IT hear much Of a wave Of crime,
he declared, land + have no doubt that
that is what 1t is; but it is wave OF
crime on a mighty sea of righteous
ness and obedience to law"
The justice continued by setting
forth the virtues of the present day.
He expressed his belief that today the
people have more appreciation Of beau
ty, more love, better home Ire
notwithstanding the divorces, OF
which there are too many'D, more
honor. more worth, more virtue ana
more brotherhood than ever before.
He cited the story Of the Good Samar-
itan, whom he said got his name on
the front page and is today often cit
ed in churches for doing something
that almost anyone would do TO-DAY.
He quoted prominent men and writer's
of those good old times" to prove the
points that he made with regard to
previous centuries and told stories
from his own experience to prove the
worth of the present generations.
In closing, the speaker stated that,
as Is often the case, business men IN
starting out to do one thing had &C
Importance. The particular point to
which he referred is the prevalence of
prohibition, which he attributes to
them through their disinclination to
have persons work for them who are
drinkers.
Judge Deasy drew a comparison be-
tween the work of "sheeting home
sail" on shipboard, where all hands
haul with the exception of one man
who takes UP the slack as they gain
it, and the work Of prohibition where
the public sentiment hauls in the slack
and the law holds it. He declared
that today the people are more sober
and temperate than ever before.
The speaker declared that COMPARE
son between this century and any 9TH
er would be all in favor of the present
day and that those good old days"
were in reality chose horrid old days"
The speech by Justice Deasy was
the feature of the evening and several
attorneys Of this city were guests of
members of the club for the occasion.
A delicious supper was served to the
large gathering and the club singing,
always enjoyable under the leadership
Of Musical Director ]. Francis Mac
