REFERENDUM WAITING
AT THE POLLS

We send representatives to the
Legislature to make our laws. II we
are self respecting we choose at
least good average citizens to repre-
sent us. These representatives put
in the winter considering the mat
tiers brought before them: they have
opportunity to hear both sides and
to study questions. II what they do
doesn't please a certain number a
way for passing the buck" is afford
ed by means Of the referendum.
Take Kennebec County, for in
stance: it voted yesterday to approve
what the Legislature did with regard
to daylight saving and disapproved
what the Legislature did with regard
to Grade A milk. We say the county
did this; what we mean is that few
in the county-less than a quarter
of the voters who took the trouble
to vote for Governor at the last cleo
tion-did this. How do we know
that the small fraction of the voters
who went to the polls Monday any
more nearly represented all the vot-
ers than did the county's representa-
tives in the Legislature?
In Kennebec County. which last
year polled 24,655 votes for Cover
nor, there was polled on daylight
saving a total of only $685. votes,
and on the milk bill a total of but
56SS votes. Not deeply interested,
were we? Looks like the referendum
is in the plight of the one that was
waiting at the church, with the par
son paid in advance and all the ush-
ers supplied with boutonnieres.

After nearly two score years
among the British subjects OF the
Transyaal Orange Free State, ana
Natal. Thomas II. Tewksbury, VINO
left South Africa on Sept. z, mas
been visiting his cousin, Matte
Handy and other relatives in North
Bucksport. He arrived there from
Bath where he was the guest or ms
sister Harriet Tewksbury, who ne
had not seen for 35 years. Born IN
Bucksport, Mr.. fTewksbury went TO
California ut the age OF IL and when
he was 20 sailed from New York IN
1891 to Southampton where he trans
ferred to the Rosling Castle and
finally arrived at Capetown on July
4. ON the Spartan. His last resi-
dence in South Africa was in Har-
rismith in what was formerly known
as the Orange River Colony, later
the Orange Free state, and now COM
bined with the Transvaal and Natal.
AS a neutral during the Boer war
Mr.. Tewksbury was close to the OPP
erations of the warning armies and
was for IA months in a refugee camp
in Pietermartizburg on the east
coast of the old Orange River Colony.
As a prospector the world war found
him close to the territory of Ger
man Southwest Of the continent. Mr..
Tewksbury arrived on the Lapland
at New York from Southampton on
Oct. 81 after a rough voyage OF As
days.
The famous PAGER, Roy Grattan,
2.01k, which cost the Caribou Driv-
ing Club almost $4,000 when the
craze for fast-record PAGERS was at
its height in Aroostook county sew
oral years ago, has been sold to
John f. Kelly of Bangor, some OF
whose horses were in the stable
which Harry Short of Columbus. O.,
campaigned on the Maine and New
Brunswick circuit last season with
Valley Day, 2.03A. Roy Grattan was
bought by the Caribou driving Club
when Colonel Bidwell. 2.03A failed
to measure up to expectations when
the Caribou sportsrnen We're vainIy
hunting for PAGER to beat John X.
Braden, 2.03A in the free-for -alls.
He had remarkable speed, but it was
a troublesome job to get him ready
for the aces and when ready, the
former Grand Circuit star couldn't
stand the vigorous campaign. Last
season Mont Gerow had him at Lew
iston, but he couldn't stand training.
Now it is said, Mr.. Kelly relies
upon DR.. Mureh, the Bangor veteri-
nary who is successfully treating
Chesley H. Searcy, 2.05A. to get Roy
Grattan ready to race in 1925 and II
he is fit, he will be a formidable
PAGER in his class with his time al
lowances. Roy Grattan got his win
race record of 201Z on the Grand
Circuit in 1921 and will therefore be
eligible to the 2.12 pacing events on
half mile tracks next season.

MAINE GOSSIP
The Christian citizen

He's busy with his home affairs,
Or in the office, shop. or store:
But knows just how to find the time
To help YOU do a little more.
Both church and town have need of
of him,
And seek his help in many ways;
He cheerfully gives of his best,
Needless of blame, unspoiled by
praise.
He always welcomes things to do,
And gladly undertakes the work,
Enriched by joy no money brings
For services that others shirk.
While some indulge themselves alone.
And justify their shameful ease,
One Christian citizen, we note
Is worth more than a score of these.

"JuST A KID"

How numerous the excuses for
youthful deviltry that are being sum-
med up in ooh. well, he--or She is
just a kid. The excusers seem to
have forgotten all that we are being
told about the youth of today being
farther advanced, better educated
than ever before and all that; they
seem to forget that hundred years
ago 1T was not uncommon for the
youth of eighteen to have assumed
the responsibilities of the mature.
Now attempts are made to regulate
er forbid the labor of youth up to
the age of eighteen. and if one steals
an automobile, holds up travellers
for the pocket money he wants, why
che is just kid".
That sort of piffle is becoming
both disgusting and dangerous.
What are we to think of all the
boasting about precocious youth,
educated far beyond the youth of
.esteryear? These attitudes toward
youth are irreconcilable. Either the
youth Of Is in the year 1925 has
greatly degenerated as compared
with the youth of 1895 or else. when
he turns to stealing automobiles
and heldups he is a highwayman and
should be treated as such.
1t came about naturally enough
that the ward politician, wishing to
Tie the youth to his political chariot
Tor future use, should seek by pulp
and "infiooence" to do SO If the youth
found himself in a scrape, Indeed
some of those traffickers in politics
would not be above aiding to get the
Youth into trouble so to pose as his
saviour. Just a kid you know"
until such procedure has helped to
Ill the prisons with young desper-
-adoes and the pockets of bail
merchants. hangers on, leeches and
vampires with proceeds from the loot
OF young bandits, who have never
learned and do not wish to learn
how to earn an honest dollar.
Undoubtedly there have been
worthy citizens saved in youth from
penalty that the strict application
OF law would have put upon them
as a criminal brand; not all the
help so given youth by the ward
leader has been productive of bad re-
suits, but the method Of leaving it
Within the power of an individual by
means of instrumentalities SUBJ
Nersive of law and used to shield the
unworthy as well as the worthy
should not be tolerated. We should
be smart enough to substitute some
thing In its place that is directed in
the main by better motives. Youth
boasting that it will not have to pay
any penalty for his misdeeds reveals a
startling source of corruption and
Ghe ways by which criminality
among youth is being cultivated to
an alarming degree. We have
organizations for aiding youth and
The results are encouraging. If we
look into the faces of youth about us
we are forced to conclude that most
OF them are those of whom society
may well be proud. But all youth
are not being so reached. A way
should be found to do this. Mean

It, should be nowise surprising
that bootleggers have been eager to
spend millions in corruption of en-
forcement. Neither should we be
the least surprised that some have
been bought with this booze Doodle.
1t is surprising, considering the num-
Der of those engaged in this work.
considering they are not munificent-
ly paid, considering that they are
not protected by the civil service,
considering they are subjected to all
the intrigue of which a hellish con-
spiracy is capable, it is astounding,
that so many of them have acted the
part of honest men. To their credit
be it said; to our confidence in our
fellow men be it kept in mind. Are
we to be as honest with these hon.
est officials as they have been with
US?

With curly locks at play,
Wed post a letter any time
And it was on its way.

There's not another mail for you.
