A LOT WE MIGHT DO

There's lot of things we might
do this summer and not only be the
better for 1t but show sample of
our loyalty to the good State in
which we live.
There's no end of what might be
done in identifying the highways
and communities. There are some
of the most attractive places on
earth right here in Maine: have we
visited them. are we competent to
tell our friends about them, and will
ing to encourage those outside the
State to visit them?
Have we taken advantage of all
our opportunities to read up on
Maine? Are we acquainted with the
States history, its traditions, its lit
erature? II not then we have ne
elected. that which should not be
neglected.
Just for instance: there was one
of the brightest of the New Worlds
humorists born in Maine. Did it oc-
cur to anyone in Maine to celebrate
the anniversary Of his birth? No,
that occurred to the minds Of the
people Of southern State where he
died. Maine people have been asked
to contribute a small sum for tab
let: 700 contributions of fifty cents
each or 1400 Of rs cents each would
satisfy this modest request and the
proprieties. Surely Maine people are
not going to leave to North Carolina
to be the sole observer of the 18th
anniversary of "Bilr' Nye.
There are other instances illustrat-
Ing what seems to be an admitted
TACT that we haven't applied our
minds to devising ways for giving
Maine the publicity deserved, and
which In q sense it is our obligation
to give. It may help us to hear from
the Maine folks who have been
spending their winters in states
where publicity is being made much
OF. What has impressed them is
likely to impress others, methods
that have appealed to them will an
Peal to others. Those methods are
not copyrighted by Florida or by
California; Maine is privileged to
use them with such notifications az
may best suit conditions. But in
order to get the best results there
must be the accompanying spirit, the
disposition to lift our weight and not
leave 1t all to others to do.

HuCcERS SHOULD KNOW
THEIR PLACE

We suggest simple law of the
road.
Arrest every girl and boy VINO
drive on the state or county roads,
trying to hug and drive at the same
time.-Lewiston Journal.
Good advice. Such a delectabie
pastime should not be INDUCED IN
on the public highway out of respect
to the pastime let alone the danger
to others. Don't the young "boobs"
know that sort of thing went out OF
fashion along with the horse and
piano box buggy and little frequent
ed highways. Thirty days and costs.
Show no mercy. Let 'ern hug some
where else.

BROWN AND STEVENS
FLAYEp BY EXAMINERS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-When the
banking concern OF Brown & Stevens
went crashing on the rocks of fail
ure a few weeks ago there were
many thousand investors who hoped
that somewhere In the debris would
be found enough money to somewhat
reimburse their losses. When all of
the assets OF the bank had been
listed and it was found that the
bank would pay about fifty cents on
the dollar some Of the more daring
of the depositors entered suit in an
effort to determine what the per
sonal assets of Brown G. Stevens
amounted to. AS a result of that
suit it has been found that these
two financiers were men whose
wealth was q conjecture Of the

ENGLISHMAN APOLOGIZES
Taken to Task for Insulting Ameri- can People, Lord Cecil is Prompt to Express Regrets.

By The Associated Press.
 Geneva, Jan. 20.-Accusing Lord Cecil of Chelwood of slandering the American people when he asserted they were consuming more opium than the people of India, Represent tative Stephen c. Porter of Pennsyl- vanla today was the center of the most dramatic session of the inter- national opium conference yet held
 The stern rebuke administered by the head of the American delegation was followed by Lord Cecil's imme- diately withdrawing his charge and expressing his regret that he had been misled into making an untrue statement.
 The conference had scarcely re- covered from the tension over tht Porter-Cecil incident when 1t heard Porter's appeal for the west to cease exploitation of the east in opium and by his warning that the world was threatened with bolshevism.
 This latter declaration seemed deeply to impress his auditors, be cause of Mir. Potter's position a! chairman of the foreign relation' committee of the house of represen tativeS.

PRESIDENT BACKS UP STATEMENT BY HUGHES Sees No Foreign Entangle- ments in U. s. Signing
 Agreement

Washington, Jan. 2o.--The Hughes stateemnt denying that the Paris statement denying that the United States In European commitments is held by President Coolidge to cover the issue which has been raised by the irreconcilable group in the sen- ate.
 The president holds no commit ments were undertaken by the United States under the settlement and that Secretary Hughes has made clear the whole question. All that remains, the president feels, can be considered as unimportant gossip.
 MT. Coolidge previously has in dictated that he. regards the Paris settlement as fair to the United States, in that 1t recognized the justness of American claims for war damages and imposed no obligation beyond the receiving of payments.
 The impression given at the White House today was that the president Is disposed to look upon the Hughes statement as closing the matter.
