NEW COMPOSER TO FRONT.
Ernst Rioters, Follower Of Strauss,
Coming to United States.

BERLIN, December 26 LP).-The
charge that postwar Europe is not
producing Worthwhile composers Is
being challenged by admirers OF Ernst
Rioters, orchestra director of the
Kammershpiele Theater, Hamburg.
who recently introduced himself to
critics in a concert of his own works
given with the Philharmonic Orches-
ira of Berlin.
Rioters looks to Richard Strauss as
his chief inspirer. He scorns the
ultra -modernists, such az Stravinsky
and Schoenberg, and prefers to travel
the route of melody and beauty of
sound rather than that of dissonance
for its own sake. He plans to visit
the United States next year.

today's experiences of the know
Maine" pilgrims was the visit to the
Cupsuptic Pine and Spruce Nurse
ries of the Brown Company on the
shore of Cupsuptic Lake. The visit
to the nurseries was an incident Of
the sail up the Rangeley Lakes
which was given by w. U. Tooth
aker. proprietor of the Pleasant Is
land Camps. The day was perfect
and the trip was vastly enjoyable.
Few in the party had ever heard of
the Brown Nurseries until the little
steamer pointed her nose In the di-
rection of the place. There the Wis
itors were shown 100000 pine and
spruces from one to four years old,
all growing in Is acre lot. The
tourists were taken about by the SUI
perintendent, F. c. King. Senator
Hinckley bought 200 of the little
trees for his South Portland estab-

Inheritance Tax

Rangeley by Butler

Rangeley, Sept. GA new issue
for the consideration of Maine peo-
pie and Maine lawmakers, was Of
fered at Pennington this afternoon

town urged the repeal of the Maine
inheritance tax. When he submit
ted his proposition Mr.. Butler was
presiding at the meeting where Gov
ernor Brewster spoke, and the Chief
Executive while not endorsing the
idea in so many words, did indi-
cate that he. thought that the plan
was one that would have to receive
the serious consideration of the
voters of Maine.
The Pennington meeting was held
in front of the Normal School
grounds and took place after dinner.
following the arrival of the Know
Maine pilgrims there at little after
noon. A good-sized company, in
which the ladies largely predomi-
mated, had gathered to hear the
Governor. w. B. Mallett, the princil
pal of the Normal School, called the
| meeting to order and introduced Mr..
Butler as the presiding officer.

Ku KIux Un. American Says Hundred
Percenter

William Robinson Pattangall, for
mer Attorney General and leading
Democrat of Maine, who on the
Klan's own definition Is a hundred
per cent down-east, Protestant, all
American, in an interview with STAN
ley Frost in The Forum arraigns the
Khan as American, as destructive
of the very ideals 1t processes to be
championing.
''The fundamental wrong is in the
Khan idea Of what makes American
ism. 1t assumes that this quality
can only be born in man or woman
who happens to see the light first on
American soil. that 1t is born in all
such, and that no one else can
achieve it. This hardly needs more
than to be stated to be proved false.
Test 1t by the teachings of Washing
ton, of Jefferson, of Lincoln, of
Roosevelt, or Wilson and it fails.
Test 1t by the words of our Savior
and it fails still more completely.
The whole idea Is not only opposed
to our traditional national spirit, but
to the whole spirit of true Christian
ity. 1t is a reversion to the old
cruel, religious hatreds.
"Americanism, of course, is really
an ideal and spirit,-faith in free
dom, tolerance, humanity. 1t cannot
discriminate because of color, birth
place, or creed; nor can it tolerate
caste, class. or religious distinctions
in politics, social life, or legal stand
ing; especially 1t cannot for moment
endure the breeding and exploitation
of hatred and prejudice as means
to sway public opinion and win po-
litical power. The Khan, on it's own
statement. does just these things, and
makes virtue of doing them.
THE Khan. drawing these lines
and exploiting prejudice as a means
to power, goes openly into politics,
and emphasizes in every way this
American procedure, which the
worse of the bodies it attacks practise
only in secret and by stealth. 1t
boasts of doing the very things which
1t attacks most bitterly in the classes
against which it breaches discrimin-
alton and which it holds up as proof
of their unfitness for citizenship!
1.-The Khan seeks a secret hold on
legislators, judges. and other officials
1t uses that hold to enforce its own
demands, abandoning completely the
American principal of rule by and
for all. 1t maintains expensive lob
bies, 1t acts secretely in both parties,
1t tries constantly for control-secret
control-of elections, legislatures, and
government. And again it has the
effrontery to advertise all this as a

Pleads for Religious
instruction in School

Orono. Me-, Sept. Elm his SER
mon at st. Mary's Church today the
pastor, the Rev. John NJ. Harring-
ton, urged religious instruction in
the schools of the country .if we are
to look for worthy citizens and moral
supporters of the republic" He de-
clared that the educated men of
America. irrespective of religious be-
lief, consider education without
moral and religious training as prac-
tically useless for the upbringing of
children-"that there was evidently
something lacking when there was
no infusion of religion and that pu-
pills were graduated without any
positive belief or high notion of
morality. The missing link is re-
ligious instruction" he said. @

The chief feature of the cane ia
a mountain which is more than two
thousand feet high. and the peak is
attacked by storms which sweep
from the north virtually throughout
the year. -
The bitter. freezing arctic wind
blows so strongly and continuously
that, on the north side of the noun

with masses of strange snow crys-
tals, which often assume the most
fantistic shapes. This is so even
in the middle of the short summer,
which season lasts only a few weeks
In these northern regions.
Even on the thirtieth of August a
survey official was nearly blown into
the sea by the force of the wind. and
the few Eskimos who live about the
cape said that the gale had been
blowing continuously since the pre-
vious summer.
In order to escape these strong

In spite Of its cold and windy
position. the most beautiful flowers
grow in sheltered regions around
Cape Prince of Wales. On the south
side Of the cape large stretches OF
ground are blue with forget -nots

Early in the autumn, which Is also
brief season. the flowers disappear
and the places where they grew are
thick with snow and ice.
