DONE AND TO BE DONE

Here stands our country. an ex-
ample of tranquility at home, a
patron of tranquility abroad. Here
stands it's government, aware of it's
might but obedient to it's conscience"
President Coolidge.
, That conscience leads 1t in the
pc tbs of peace. Its existence does
not depend upon acquiring more
breathing space for it's people. 1t
has in the main curbed the greed
which would reach out to take from
other peoples. While insisting upon
our rights We have dealt fairly by
Mexico. The intelligent leaders of
Latin America must see this, must
see that although dilatory in the
matter of the Isle of Pines, for in
stance. we accord Cuba her rights.
We have not taken advantage Of
conditions in that island which
seemed to warrant our intervention.
We. have dealt fairly with San
Domingo. We have done our best to
be of assistance to our neighbors Of
the southern continent. We are try
ing by practical methods to aid those
peoples of Europe suffering because
Of war that was nowise of our max
ing. Our people wish this country
to be represented in the World Court
as We would be if Congress had been
as attentive to that project as it was
TO the increasing of it's own salaries.
We have before us the prospect of
being able again to take the initi-
alive for limiting armament. That q
certain amount of jealousy will exert
some influence in countries less ad-
vantageously situated than are we is
probable, nevertheless our methods
for fair dealing may not be wholly
nisconstrued nor disregarded. The
United States is the most powerful
factor in the world in the interests
of peace. 1t is not Boosting to men
ton this, supported as it is. by the
facts. But the situation places upon
us tremendous burden of response
bility. Recognition of what we have
Cone should be accompanied by rec
ignition of what we have to do.

TO SURVEY THE COUNTRY
FROM THE AIR

One may now secure coast survey
and other survey maps of this coun-
try, but they are not made from
views taken in the air. Private en-
terprise is having this done incident
al to the needs of that enterprise.
Woodlands are surveyed by navi-
gators Of the air photogra phing the
lands. Cruisers Of timber tracts arc
aided by these aerial surveys.
The United States Air Service has
begun mapping the country from the
air. 1t is proposed to expend around
fifty million dollars in this work.
From these maps any citizen should
be able to get a better idea of any
section of the country than is now
possible, and the uses for informa-
ton so obtained will be almost in
Vulnerable.

Editorial Comment
Teaching Religion In Schools
New York LVorld1

t-NeW 1 OIk w OfIu)
In view of the agitation for more
religious instruction in the public
schools, we would do well to consid-
er whether the Commission on Jew
ish Education. made up of a number
OF leading rabbis in the country. is
not right when it opposes the plan.
The thing which has usually bog
Sled discussion has been the tend
ency To confuse opposition to reliG-
ious instruction in the schools with
opposition to religious instruction
altogether. That is. people who OPP
pose such instruction in the schools
are put on the defensive as being OPP
posed to any Kind of religious in
struction. The commission keeps
the distinction in mind. 1t indorses
the movement for more week day
religious instruction. But it oppos-
es this in the schools Let the
schools curtail their schedules, it
says, and put the time thus saved at
the disposal of parents, who can ar
range instruction as they see fit
Whether schools should cut down
their schedules is a matter which
the layman cannot protitably discuss
But keeping religious instruction out
of the school curriculum seems
sound. Religion, as an abstract
thing, does not exist. 1t is always a
particular kind of religion, and what
is religion to one man is hercSy to
the next man. For this reason, If
no other. religion is a matter for
parents to keep in charge. Any eff
fort to provide denominational in
struction, or to classify pupils by
denominations, is a bad precedent.
as the commission points out. The
knowledge which is impaired in the
schools should be of such Il charac-
ter that it can he impaired to all.
knowledge which is valid in one
classroom and not valid in the next
is knowledge which a public institu-
ton had better steer clear of.

PUBLIC SERVANTS CON.
TRAS1ED

The Senate had to make show
down. 1t stands revealed as body
controlled by Democrats voting as
Democrats and supported by the La
Toilette element. This is the situa-
ton in which it was prior to the
last election, when the President it
had thwarted and attempted to bull
doze was the overwhelming choice
of the people, who had witnessed the
perversion of the Senate.
Attempt was made to smirch the
President with the scandal touching
appointees Of his predecessor, whose
appointments the Senate had ap-
proved. The alliance between the
Democrats in that body and the La
Follettians Disguised the Democratic
voters. That alliance is shown to
persist: that abuse of the President
is to be maintained. The country's
welfare is to be but pawn in the
game which the United States SEN
ate is playing to arrogate to itself
some of the executive authority and
to defeat the Administration. The
Presidents firmness has resulted in
revealing the animus behind the at
titude Of the Senate so wildly 1t
may not be denied, although every
effort is being made to deny it.
But, be it noted, Calvin Coolidge is
big enough not to indulge in obsti-
macy. He recognizes his obligation
to the maintenance Of adequate pub
lie service. Having selected one he
believed to be fit for the important
position of Attorney General and the
Senate having assumed the RESPONSE
bility Of rejecting him, having full
filled his obligations to the appoin-
tee. the President wastes no time in
selecting another, that there may be
no delay in the performance of the
duties Of that department.
And in this connection there is
held up before us the contrast be-
tween this attitude and the tradi-
tional attitude toward public bust
ness shown by the Senate. 1t has
Just approved an important treaty
after 20 years Of inexcusabie delay.
Indeed it would be difficult to recall
an instance where this alleged dis
tinguished body has laid aside it's
own even its questionable desires in
order to further the business Of the
country

Editor of Journal:
We are hearing so much about
boosting Maine, yet the attitude of
some Of our members of the Legis-
lature, while crying out that they
are for 1t, their acts, would seem to
be in the other direction. The daily
papers the other day told of hear
ing before the Committee on Agri-
culture when member of the
House and few State officials APP
peared for a change in the so-called
apple packing law, while farmers and
1iult growers from all over the
State appeared in protest. 1t will be
refreshing, to say the least, to hear
what the report of the Committee
Will be. The law we now have is
bad enough but if it is changed
again, or the dealers and others
want it, it would make a few more
jobs for inspectors and regulators
and help out the lawyers as well
ana would at the same time drive
more fruit growers out OF business.
Is that booming Maine? The writer
i'll conversation the other day with
a young farmer asked him what he
purposed doing in the near future
with his orchard. if he was going to
set more trees, etc. He replied that
there were so many restrictions, so
many laws in handling apples; a
law book and a string of auger holes
to fit the apples to. to be carried
about. lat I've had made up his mind
