The removal of commercial ad-
vertising signs from the highways IS
one of the projects in the campaign
for maine Beautiful" The law al
ready prohibits the placing OF such
signs within the limits of the high
way, but the State has no jurisdiction
to prevent their erection on private
land. Women's clubs have suggested
as a way to meet this condition the
inauguration of a boycott of firms
so advertising, but this is treading
on dangerous ground. A person may
act independently in Withholding
patronage from a firm so advertising,
but when he or she attempts to
spread boycott propaganda, specify
ing certain advertisers, it is inviting
action for libel. However, there is
another and simpler way out, and
the large advertising firm of A. H.
Benoit & Co., with chain of stores
In Maine and Massachusetts, has
shown the way. This firm has come
ouL with an endorsement of the
Maine campaign against commercial
highway advertising, and has volun-
tarily ordered all its highway signs
removed. 1t is hoped that its ex-
ample will be followed by other big
advertisers.

Governor Brewster, in statement
issued Thursday referring to the evil
dences of fraud uncovered at the
hearings held on the question of the
legality of the names appearing on
the petitions proposing measure to
repeal the direct primary law, makes
it quite plain, although he does not
say so directly, that he will not issue
a proclamation calling for referen-
dunn on the direct primary issue, on
the ground that less than 5000
names have been legally filed, when
$4,000 names are required.

that the colored man, not the irish

match with Paul Berlenbach, light

The arrangement was that the
winner OF the HcTigue-Flower
bout would be matched with Berlen-
bach. McTigue won, but as many
fans and sporting writer's declared
that Flowers won by a mile, s the
Atlanta man may get the match.
Berlenbach said he would be will

BOSTON, Dec 25.'. Athletics for

Thornton jenkins. of Maiden High
School. is just as valuable as q
builder Of character as the study
of any given classroom subject. 1t
is so valuable in fact that no boy
should be allowed to complete his
course without having taken part
in some form OF sport during each
Of his years in school unless Of
course. he ID physically incapable.
''It has never seemed fair to me
that boys with less physical profile.
iency than others, should be
obliged to watch from the sidelines
their schoolmates who were fortu-
nate enough to make their school
team. Sport, like work, is the herit-
age of our American youth, and 1t
is up to the educational authorities
to see that each youngster gets his
share of both
There is the competitive instinct
in the breast of every boy. Without
1t he is lost. With too much of it
he may be obnoxious. There is a
nice balance in all things and that
balance applies especially to soort.
for the boy up to a certain age
usually takes more interest in his
games than he does in his work.
That is why school sport should
be just as carefully regulated as
classroom work. And it is why
every boy should be given an equal
opportunity to get a fair share OF
play.
''The question has often been
heard, particularly in this day Of
so-called "overemphasis, as to why
SO much stress is laid on winning
football games. The answer, as
1 see it, is not than winning games
for the sake of victory is important
but that it gives the boys a physi-
cal standard at which to aim and
a goal to attain. The athletic field
is q miniature edition of life, with
disappointments and obstacles that
are just as acute as those encoun7
tered in later life. To win, cleanly
and in sportsmanlike fashion, should
be the ambition of every one from
the cradle onward. Why not on
the field? But there is just as
much honor in losing and some
times a better lesson"
