HONEST ENDEAVoR IN
DISEAVOR

The western hunters Of Govern
ment subsidies are cunning for Sec
rotary Work of the Interior Depart
ment. He does not seem to meet
their desires as well as did Secretary
Fall Of Teapot Dome eminence. HIS
policies of conservation do not fit in
with their schemes and right now he
is rather cold to their land irriga-
ton projects. They are resolved to
have his political scalp.
As one learns about the results of
the Governments experiments with
irrigation he ceases to wonder that
Secretary Work, IL he be looking out
for the Governments interests, turns
a cold shoulder on some of the re-
quests. 1t appears the Government
has spent twenty-six million dollars
on irrigation Of practically worthless
lands. ttwo-thirds Of which were pri-
vately owned before irrigation was
undertaken; that there are now 5000
unoccupied farms on what the Gov
eminent already has irrigated and
that no legitimate reason now exists
why the Government should continue
that wasteful policy. All of which
would seem to be another instance of
honest endeavor in disfavor.

SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED

Expression of opinion respecting
the Maine Centrars effort to connect
the travelling public of central Maine
with the advantages offered by the
"Pine Tree Limited. Portland to
Boston, has been appreciative, so far
as we have learned. What our pa
tronage may be is yet to be seen. On
that will depend of course the con-
tinuance of this facility for leaving
here in the morning, having a bus
mess day in Boston and arriving
home in the evening.
Whatever happens. the effort on
the part of the railroad management
is commendable and our patronage
is the only tangible commentator.
The opportunity cannot be matched
by motor even in the summer, all
things considered. 1t affords evil
dence of purpose on the part of the
railroad to go after business; to
spare no effort to give its patrons
the best service possible. More, it
evinces a purpose to build up bus
mess rather than to wait for that to
be done. 1t is very important to all
Of us that such an attitude should
be encouraged. Patronage will do
that, and nothing else will.

Obedience and Worldly Goods
(Boston Transcript)

More interesting and more import
ant than the vote on this subject was
the action of the bishops in striking
out the word "obey" from the mar
riage service and with it the words,
in the pledge required of the man,
with all my worldly goods I thee
endow." This latter emendation
seems to be in the nature of a COM
pensating arrangement. If the wife
no longer promises to obey, the hus-
bands obligation to endow her with
his possessions Is cancelled. 1t is a,
case of tit for tat. If there are two
parties to the bargain, there must be
two sides to the bargain. Women,
in gaining all the rights Of men, have
already found that. they must relin-
quish the particular privileges that
they had as women. The Supreme
Court of the United States has lust
decided that the States cannot leg
islate to enforce a minimum wage
for women when they do not also en-
force similar wage for men. This
recognizes the right Of women to be
on a parity with men. 1t is a recoc-
milton of their equality. But at the
same time it reminds women of the
hard fact that they cannot have their
cake and eat it too. For that matter.
the relations Of husband and wife in
respect of property are regulated by
the laws of the States, and no church
assumes to govern these relations ex-
cept In harmony with the civil law.

A SUGGESTION

THE particular object for which
this corporation is formed is to
abolish the belief in God, together
with all forms Of religion based on
that belief. This work shall be
purely destructive, a radio station
shall be erected for broadcasting
lectures on the subjects Of science
and religion, and It shall conduct a
general propaganda against the
church and the clergy. The society
shall contribute to the building of a
better civilization by operating as a
wTecking company, leaving to others
the designing and establishing of the
new order. Especially shall 1t en-
deavor to free American scientists
and statesmen from the necessity Of
patronizing religion"
Outside Russia such manifesto
seems incredible, yet this is the plea
Of the American Association for
the Advancement of Atheism" for in
corporation under the laws of the
State Of New York. The plea was
denied, but the mental attitude back
Of it remains incomprehepsible. we
believe, to most u US. Does It sug-
xest being adrift IN q boat at sea
and one Of the party asking for an
AZ with which to demolish it. saying
that it was slow, partially unsea-
worthy. that he could build bet
ter but would leave that to others
for whom he would clear the way by
sinking the craft so it might NO
longer be depended on?

BUY PLEASURE, ONE DOLLAR
WILL DO IL

Really the world is improving in
some respects at least. And one of
these Is more general interest in
the unfortunate. II we were to as
sumo that 999 out Of every 1000 would
wish the 1000 children. who are
wards Of the State. to have a Merry
Christmas. We probably would be
setting it too low; and few would be
found, who would not experience a.
desire to contribute to it.
The State board Of charities and
corrections would like $4,000 for this
purpose, SO that each ward might
have a Christmas gift approx
mating the value of a dollar. To
date, the board has less than $500,
one donor giving $50. 1t is the ex-
pectation that many small gifts will
be received. Here is an opportunity
to give a child pleasure with even a
dollar bill and a two dollar bill
would give twice as much. though
some superstitious folks might think
otherwise, yet few refuse them.
Anyone having any doubts better try
it out with a two-dollar bill sent to
the secretary, CRUDE B. Cornish,
Board Of Charities and Corrections,
Augusta, Maine. But don't think Of
two dollars being the limit. There
are no limitations prescribed.

What Makes the World L.uoh

"There are three things" says
Charlie Chaplin, sat which the world
will always laugh. A man or woman
slipping on banana peel is a tragic
spectacle, but it never fails to arouse
a smile on the face Of the spectators
and then quick feeling of SYM
pathy.
"A custard pie thrown into your
face will arouse the loudest outlaws
of the world-at large. It amuses
everybody-but YOU.
"And the historic kick Cor slap
sticO in the seat Of the pants-when
administered by a subordinate to his
superior. When reversed it arouses
immediate indignation because of
our tendency always to help the I'M
der-dog in a moment of trouble.
These three things are ure-fire.
They are universal. Whether they
occur in Hindoostan, or in Afghanis-
tan, or Bulgaria. in Paris or Lon
don Or New York-in high or low
society. they never fail to arouse the
risibilities.
1T is the love of the human race
in levelling pride--in seeing pride
topple over In chagrin. We are all
rogues enough at heart to love to
watch the other fellow in his moment

one Of those fool youths who has i'm
bibed the notion that crime Is the
great adventure. But whether youth
or middle-aged they walked out
through the Gordon Of police carry
ing their spells.
There is little Of news about all
this 1t is Of such frequent occurrence.
Nevertheless we must consider 1t;
the thugs will not permit us longer
to ignore 1t. They feel that they
have the upper hand: their nerve
must be broken, and that quickly.
OF course this may be done, but 1t
will not stay broken until society Is
broken Of some Of its practises.
No less an experienced observer
than S. S. Mcclure in his November
magazine reminds us of few i'm
portant facts; tells us that we have
been having crime wave for long
time, that it is by no means novel,
however striking it may now be. He
saws, among other things: During
the last forty years, the number OF
persons murdered in the United
States, equals the number Of soldiers
killed or who died of wounds on all
the battlefields Of all the wars fought
by the United States from the war
of the Revolution to the Spanish
American War, including both Fed
eral and Confederate losses in the
Civil WAR"
The writer adds that this record
Of murder. such as is known in no
civilized country, is the clearest IN
dication of the essential weaknesses
of our national, state and city gov
ernments. But is this weakness es-
sential? If so we are poor lot for
the weakness is traceable back from
the institution to the citizen that es-
tablished 1t.
