CHIEF JUSTICE CORNISH
RESIGNS

Il was cause for regret on the part
Of every individual acquainted with
the splendid service Of Chief Justice
Cornish that under the retirement
law he would resign this year. 1t is
profound cause Of regret that he
feels obliged to resign earlier than
was expected on account of ILL
health.
We recall none of those who have
occupied that high place In the
judicature Of Maine held more high
ly in esteem. Indeed, 1t is not too
much to say that Chief Justice Corn
ish not only commands the respect,
but he possesses the affection Of all
those with whom he has association.
The kindly personal attitude of the
Maine bar toward the chief was one
Of the most conspicuous features OF
the recent meeting Of that Associa-
ton. He is loved for his personal
qualities and admired for his at
taipments. his profound learning in
the. law. culture and qualities of
mind that have contributed much to
the. profession for which he was so
emfnently lifted.
MAY he recover his health for
further years Of usefulness" will be
no perfunctory wish in the hearts of
the multitude Of his friends.

Editorial Comment
"Leninism" And Children
washington Post)

The shameless hypocrisy Of the
Soviet propaganda in this country is
in no way more detestably obvious
than in the attempt, VIGOROUSLY
widespread. to disseminate its doc
trine among the immature minds Of
school children. and to exploit boys
and girls early in their teens as tools
of Communism.
Thus on Sunday last. we are told.
at a big Lenine memorial meeting OF
Communists and Bolshevists in New
York, a group of about 400 boys and
girls from the public schools formed
the central feature Of the gathering;
one Of them. fourteen-year-old boy,
was put forward to declaim a piece
in glorification of Lenine and denun-
citation of the American social and
Political system; demand was
made for the mobilization Of the
children" for revolutionary purpos-
es; and the children were instructed
to make Communistic proselytes
among their playmates.
Now contrast this with the state
ments officially made by the Soviet
commissar of education concerning
Russia's treatment of its children.
He reports that Russian schools
have declined terribly, both in num-
bers and in efficiency. since the es-
tablishment Of Sovietism. "a ire
mendous decay" he says, ''is par
ticularly evident in the lower grades,
and in the care Of those children who
are not old enough'to attend school"
But Vhe whole educational system,
from primary schools to universities,
is suffering seriously. The Soviet
Government, while spending enor-
nous sums on the largest standing
army in the world and planning
schemes Of foreign conquest, allots
to all the schools of the empire less
money than is appropriated by one
of the smaller States of this Union.
The average school teacher is paid
from Sc to IS a month. and is ex-
pected to get his meals by begging
from door to door.
And that is the system which boys
and girls in American public schools
are being insidiously taught to pre-
fer to our own!

Editors Letter Box
To Floyd Collins

Aye they've. found hiin-the wreck
of his dreams around him, the debris
of Mother Earth in his hair.
The eyes of a nation for many days
have been turned to the lands Of
old Kentucky where far below the
earth's SCARED surface one of her
native sons fought a losing battle
against terrible odds. Today the
harassed spirit has fled from the
poor, twisted body and Kentucky
mourns a hero~~
Heads of thousands. north, south
and west, which have been cooked to
whisperings of fraud" courts of in
quiry and publicity stunts today
are bowed in shame and contrite
hearts murmur, Would to God it
hau been fraud"
Oh, bury him not in that cold cold
earth which in his last days was so
cruel to him. Rather, bring him to
the sunlight on the surface, bear him
tenderly to the high places and there
in q crypt of mausoleum erected
by loving sons of the soil of Ken
lucky lay him to eternal rest.
And If departed spirits of earths
subjects are reborn again may his
enter the breast of a lordly eagle to
wheel in unrestricted freedom in
Gods precious sunlight under the
vast blue dome Of Heaven.

GOOD MATERIAL SELECTED

President Coolidge has selected a
man for the position Of Secretary Of
Agriculture. who has had experience
on . ranch. as a dairy farm worker,
as , member of a. big farming cor
poration. has had training in the
Agricultural Department and has
been president Of the Kansas agri-
cultural college. He also was a
member Of the commission that re-
comfy recommended certain legisla-
ton pertaining to agriculture.
But the nominee, William NJ. Jar
dine. although selected by the Pres
idept to sit in the cabinet as a MEM
ber' Of the executives board of coun-
sellers. probably will not meet with
the. entire appreciation of all the
senators. Indeed we should hope
not They will not like it that Mr..
'Jardine did not favor the McNary-
Haugen bill. Moreover. he is said
to have incurred the displeasure Of
some Of the bureaucrats in the De-
partment Of Agriculture who would
regulate the country's farming from
the vantage Of their easy office
chairs. The further fact that Mr..
Jardine knows something about eco
Monies as well as about farm work
will not relieve their displeasure.
Ignoramuses and charlatans dislike
anyone in authority capable Of ex-
posing them.
